Signs— miracles and wonders by which God authenticates the men sent by Him.
These signs shall follow them that believe, the Bible doesn’t say it has to be pastors, preachers, or prophets, but simply those that believe! Those with faith in Christ Jesus, to believe Him for miracles, and for the impossible.
Acts 5:12; And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people.
The apostles were ordinary people, full of the Holy Ghost, with power and faith to believe God. V.15; Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds, and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. We’ve got to have that same faith, to be used of God, put our faith into action and see miracles take place.
Mark 16:17-18; And these signs shall follow THEM that believe, in my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. V.20; And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.
It’s all by the power of God! The same power that the apostles had, the same power that fell on the day of Pentecost!
Mark 11:24; Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever you desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 9:23; Jesus said unto him, if thou can believe, all things are possible to him that believes. Luke 10:19; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Saints, we are protected, we are surrounded, we are loved, and God has given us everything we need to go forth in him.
Luke 4:32; And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with power.
1 Corinthians 2:4; Paul declares, and my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Romans 15:19; Through many signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and round about illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Exercise your faith, take God at his word, and see if He won’t do it.
