Greater Works

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I want you to know that I can do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you. (Ephesians 3:20.) I am also the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8.) I want to highlight some of the miracles I did during My earthly ministry. If I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, what I did then, I can do today.

During My earthly ministry I healed the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others. Those who were missing body parts were made whole. (Matthew 15:30-31.) I cleansed ten lepers in a village. (Luke 17:11-19.) I raised the dead son of the widow of Nain. (Luke 7:11-17.) I cast out an unclean spirit at the synagogue in Capernaum. (Mark 1:21-28.)

Now I propose a challenge to you. The challenge is to do greater works than I did. Listen to My words. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." (John 14:12.) You have been given permission to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons in My name. (Matthew 10:8.) You can begin anytime.


Ephesians 3:20
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Matthew 15:30-31
30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.  31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

Luke 17:11-19
11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.  12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.  13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,  16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?  18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”  19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

Luke 7:11-17
11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.  12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.  13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”  14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”  15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

16 Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, “God has visited His people.”  17 And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

Mark 1:21-28
21 Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.  22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,  24 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”  26 And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.  27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”  28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

John 14:12
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."

Matthew 10:8
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
