Greater Works Than These

1 Corinthians 4:20; For the kingdom of God is not word, but in power.
This lets us know that God operates in power. We will see the power of God at work in our day, greater works, as Jesus said. He will confirm his Word, if we dare to believe Him. Gods Word is true, He will never fail. There was miracles in the past, and miracles still taking place today. People don’t expect or believe God to move like He did, but we have got to expect Him to move in His power, because He does not change. Hebrews 13:8; Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever. He will not and cannot change!
St. John 14:12-14; Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believes on me, the works, that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
God will perform greater works through His people, He is the one doing the works, He is manifesting His power through His people, who surrender themselves to Him.
Acts 3:6; Then Peter said, silver, and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
There’s power in the name of Jesus!
If we have the Spirit of God abiding in us, we can ask for miracles and signs, and God will do them, all we have to do is believe it!
There’s a lot of fear in Gods people, they won’t step out in faith because they are afraid God won’t do what they are asking for. But we need to stand on Gods word with boldness.
Luke 10:19; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
When the serpent came out of the fire and latched on Apostle Paul’s hand, he just shook it back into the fire, and the barbarians were expecting to see him fall down dead, but Gods power kept him. He’s God, and He wants to manifest himself through a people, manifest His power and glory. Stand on God’s word, power to tread on serpents and over all the power of the enemy, and God will back up His word.
1Thess 1:5a; For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost.
The Word of God is powerful, dynamite power!
Nothing can stand before the Word of God, or the Name of God. He is all powerful!
Stand on God’s word, He will fulfill his word, stand in faith, don’t be afraid to do whatever God tells you to do, He will equip you to do whatever He has called you to do. Obey Him in all things, and stand in faith believing Him to do the greater works.
