In John 14:12-14 Jesus made a really big statement. He said, “Anyone who has faith in me will do
what I have been doing. He will do even
greater things than these because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name so that
the Son may bring glory to the Father. You
may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it.”
The very next
verse says, “If you love me, you will obey what I have commanded.”
A child of God
walking according to the will of God can have the right and authority to do the
same works Jesus did, and even greater works!
He said that He gave us “all authority” the question is, how much of His
authority are we walking in?
Mt 24:35 says, “Heaven
and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away.” He is unchanging, the same yesterday, today
and forever. His promises are for us today.
His commission is our mission!
Supernatural
multiplication
Jesus fed thousands with just 5 loaves and 2 fish. Mt
14:13-21. Mark 6:33-44.
He healed the
sick
Many examples show Jesus healing the sick with a simple
spoken word, He walked in total authority.
He spoke to the man that had a withered hand, “stretch forth your hand”
and he was instantly healed. Mt 12:9-13.
He touched two blind men’s eyes and they instantly received their
sight. Mt 20:34. He stuck his fingers in a deaf mute’s ears
and touched his tongue and he was healed. Mark 7:33-35.
He raised the
dead
On a couple of occasions, dead were raised with just a
spoken word over people that had been dead for quite a while. He simply took a dead girl’s hand and she
came back to life. Mt 9:25. He raised Lazarus who had been dead four
days. Jn 11:38-44
He cast out demons
Again, just a simple spoken word caused demons to
flee. He drove demons out of two
violently possessed men by simply saying “go.” Mt 8:32.
He knew key
events in His future
He prophesied about His own death, resurrection and the
coming of the Holy Spirit. Mt 16:21. Mt 17:22-23.
He foretold that the disciples would forsake Him that very night. Mt 26:31-34
He knew what
others were thinking
He knew and responded to what people were thinking before
they even said anything out loud. Mt

He taught and
spoke with authority
Unlike the religious leaders of His day, Jesus spoke and
taught with true authority. Mt 7:28.

did were healed. Mt 14:36. Mark 5:24-34.

He spoke
healing over a distance
The centurion’s servant was healed from a distance! Mt 8:5-13. Lu 7:1-10.

serve, not to be served
Jesus example of being a servant is shown throughout the Gospels. Mt 20:28. He washed his disciple’s feet. Jn 13:4-17

the waves obeyed Him
He carried an authority that could command natural
events. Mark 4:35-41
He walked on
water
He met his disciples in the middle of the lake, without
using a boat! This passage also tells us about Jesus seeing the men in distress
in the middle of the lake while he was still on shore! Mark 6:45-52
He started a
revival with a prophetic word
Jesus spoke a word of prophecy to the Samaritan woman at
Jacob’s well. It affected her so much
that she ran back into town, spread the word and many believed. Lu 4:1-42
He prayed for
us (all believers)
“…That all of them may be one..” John 17.
