Doing What Jesus Did

John 14:12-14 (red letter) 12) Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13) And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14) If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Do you know some of the things Jesus did? We need to know He says we can do what He did and greater works. - He turned water into wine, not just wine but it was the best wine. He also overflowed the wine. More then enough. - Jesus feed the multitudes starting with just two fishes and five loaves. They had twelve baskets of fragments left over. More then enough. Jesus feed the poor both for body and spirit. John 10:10 (red letter) The thief does not come except to still and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Jesus also controlled the weather & the seas Matthew 8:23-27 23) Now when He got into a ship, His disciples followed Him. 24) And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25) Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" 26) But He said to them, " Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea obey Him?" Take authority So, when you speak to the big winds, hurricanes, tornados have them dissipate, not go some other place to cause damage. And for healing there are really to many verses to name. One really stands out Matthew 8:16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and HEALED ALL who were sick. Jesus didn't care who you were He healed all. Take authority over sickness, over spirits, with the Word of God. He healed so can you. Take the authority. Stand on Gods word. As the Bible said in John 14:12-14 said that He that believe in Me, the works that I do shall he do, and it also says whatsoever ye ask in My name that I will do. That brings glory to God the Father. And that is what being a Christian is following in Jesus steps & bring glory to our Father! You follow His example of prayer Matthew 6:9-13. Jesus prayed a lot. As 1 Peter 3:7B; Just pray that your prayers will not be hinder. Pray with authority. He gave us His name. Romans 8:31-39 31) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him us for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33) Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34) Who is he who condemns? It is Christ died, and further more is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35) Who shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36) As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." 37) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38) For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come. 39) nor heights nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ask with authority He gave us His name. And the most important thing Jesus did was give His life for you and me. His Blood covered our sins, His Love saved us. And all we had to do was ask. We couldn't earn it. It was His free gift to us. 1 Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. We know the out come because we've read the book and God gave us the answer. I'm asking you to give your life to Jesus. Find the authority. Find His love! He will meet you right where YOU are. Your not losing your life your gaining eternal life and having a more abundant life.
