A Ministry Commanded by God

A Ministry Commanded by God

John 14:12 


I tell you the truth, 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.


Mark 16:17-20 


17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 


18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”


19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.


20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.


Acts 1:4-8 


4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 


5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 So when they met together, they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”


7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 


8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”


Acts 10:38 


how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.


Hebrews 2:1-4 


1 We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 


2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 


3 how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 


4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
