We are all probably familiar with Christ’s commission to us to go and preach the Gospel to all creatures (Mark 16:15). As I was reading this passage just recently I took note of the things believers will do (Mark 16:16-18).

They will be saved. What a wonderful word; it encompasses healing, forgiveness and new life in Christ Jesus. That life is an abundant life, in all the ways you can imagine it (John 10:10). Believers will also cast out demons in Jesus name and speak in new tongues. Snakes and poisons will not affect us and we will lay hands on the sick and see them healed.

This is all because Jesus lives in us in the form of the Holy Spirit (John 14:17) and we can walk in Christ’s power, authority and victory over satan and all the works of darkness (Col 2:15).

Nothing in this world is greater than the one who dwells in us (1 John 4:4). The power on the inside of us is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead (Rom 8:11). Just think of that. Jesus said we would do the works He did and even greater works than these (John 14:12).

This gets me excited just thinking about it; how about you?
