And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
(Mark 16:15, 20)
Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He commanded His disciples to preach the gospel to everybody in the earth. The disciples were told to baptize those who would believe. He guaranteed that signs would follow: Devils would be cast out, believers would speak with new tongues, no demon or deadly thing would harm them, and they would lay their hands on the sick so they would be healed. (v. 17.)

The disciples were obedient to Jesus’ command. Signs followed and thousands were freed as these bold believers took Jesus at His Word. As they stepped out in faith, the Spirit of God gave them power. They spoke the Word of God in the name of Jesus and saw the miraculous happen.

It is no different today for you. You too are a disciple, a dedicated student and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. You too are anointed by God’s Spirit. You also have the command to tell the Good News and expect the signs to follow. The name of Jesus is still the same today as it was 2,000 years ago.

Proven principles will produce the same results any time they are followed. When you do what Jesus instructed, you too will see signs following. God is committed to confirming His Word. He doesn’t confirm the doctrines of men or the philosophies of the worldHe confirms His Word.

Rise up and let God fulfill His Word. You have been anointed to speak the Word with authority. God has brought you into the kingdom for such a time as this. (Est. 4:14.) Don’t be afraid or embarrassed. Be bold and proclaim the gospel!

DECLARATION OF FAITH
I preach the gospel with authority. In the name of Jesus, the sick are healed and demons are cast out. The Word goes forth with power, and it is confirmed with signs following.
