Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12 NIV).
Some people have focused on the greater works and forgotten Jesus said we would do the same works that He did. Think about the works that Jesus did, the gospels are filled with physical miracles that Jesus performed. For example, He healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, and raised the dead. He made blind eyes see and deaf ears hear. He made the lame walk. He turned water into wine, He fed 5000 men with 5 Loaves and two fishes. He walked on water, and He raised Lazarus from the dead, that’s just to mention a few.
We can and should be doing these same works and move on to do greater works. That sounds like we may have to be prideful and egotistical to say whatever Jesus did, He said I will do the same and even do greater works. You may say I believe it because it’s in the Bible. But do you believe it in your everyday life? Did He really mean what He said? When Jesus said the works that I do ye will do also; and greater works than these ye will do, because I go to My Father. I never preached at a crusade without seeing devils being cast out and sicknesses being healed. People come to be prayed for, and they receive answers to their problems. He gave us power to heal all type of sickness and to cast out demons. I have seen sickness healed and demon possessed set free in my open-air crusades. So can you, if you’ll practice the word of God.
