SCRIPTURE: Mark (NIV) 16:19 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.
OBSERVATION: Jesus had finished His work on earth. He had taught them, had set an example for them, had died for their sins, had risen from the dead and now returned to heaven and sat down in His place of honor. He sat down because His work in becoming our Redeemer was finished.
But the story continues. His ministry continues. But now He is working with His disciples through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Now “His words” that they spoke were confirmed by the same signs that followed “His words” when He spoke them!
APPLICATION: What an honor to have the life of Jesus living within! What an honor to have the same Holy Spirit living in me and moving through me! What an honor to be a continuation of the ministry of Jesus! What an honor to speak “His words!”
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, as Jesus emptied Himself of His God characteristics and walked as a man on earth, you filled Him and anointed Him and flowed through Him. Help me follow His example to live and minister in your anointing. May healings and miracles confirm “His word” that is ministered in these SOAPs. …for it is in His Name I pray, Amen.
From the LORD: Expect me to demonstrate my presence in your life by doing things beyond your capabilities. Others will be drawn to me as they see what I do in you. Admit your weakness and give me the glory. Your weaknesses are opportunities for me to demonstrate my power!
