Signs & Wonders - Preach & Do (notes)

Signs & Wonders - Preach & Do

When we look at Jesus Christ we see the will of God in action.

We don’t want to go into another study on healing, signs & wonders and miracles. We want to experience the supernatural power of God in this time.

Jesus Commissioned

His disciples to go and do two things:

  • Proclaim the Good News.
  • Confirm the Good News.

Mark 16:13-20

15. He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

16. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Mark 16:17

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."

Mark 16:19-20

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.

Jesus Himself

  • Said, whatever you ask the Father in my name He will do it.

My First experience with a healing service was in 1956 when I saw Oral Roberts.

It Made An

Impact on my mind and heart.

The needs of the people.

The power of God.

Study

  • Past healing revivals.
  • Past individuals who moved in the power of God’s healing power.
  • What the Word of God says about signs and wonders, healing and miracles.
  • Apply the principles you learn to your life and start praying for sick, hurting people and see what happens.

If We Keep

1. Pressing into God’s presence.

2. Pressing into His Word and keep laying our hands on the sick.

3. Believing God to confirm His Word and don’t give up God will begin to honor our faith and our obedience and will heal the sick and do miracles all around us.

My Prayer

  • Is that God visits us and starts to do the miracles He promised He would do when we preach and take God’s Word and apply it to sick, hurting people.

A City Can

  • Experience a move of God’s healing power but only those churches who are open to God’s power will benefit from it.

God Has Always

  • Desired to heal the sick in every generation of the church but during those outpourings of His power only a hand full of people have run with that vision. Lets not miss this today. Lets believe God desires to do miracles today!

What I Value

  • Prayer
  • The Word
  • Character

Jesus Said

  • That He would baptize people with the Holy Spirit and fire. The fire is the glory of the Lord that Moses saw, that Isaiah talked about that Ezekiel saw & Haggai predicted would fill the temple in the last days.

The Early Believers

  • Were filled with the Holy Spirit and were scattered everywhere so they could preach Jesus and confirm the Gospel with signs following. This is the history of the book of Acts.

Lets Learn From

  • The success and the failures of past generations and apply those examples to our situation today.
  • From the Lord Jesus that we can proclaim His Word and confirm it with signs following.

The Wind of The Spirit

  • Is blowing throughout the earth in this hour and God is looking for people who have a heart for Him and for revival.
  • Lets pray that we will not miss what God is doing right now.
  • The glory of the Lord is being manifested and don’t want to miss it.
