Title: The demonstration of Holy Spirit power    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your heavenly Father.
Since the light is the Word and Holy Spirit in us, it will have a positive effect on those who see it issuing from us.     The positive effect is that they are drawn to Christ Jesus and in so doing glorify His Holy Spirit.

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
mighty works occur in an atmosphere of faith.     unbelief squelches the power of the Lord.

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of the Holy Spirit?
How can a regular person do the miracles that Jesus did?

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of the Lord, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
So, what our Lord Jesus Christ has sought to accomplish is, our faith in Him.     

`All these things` flow out of Grace Through Faith in Christ Jesus.     

That faith should produce Good Works.     If there are no Good Works:
    purify your heart
    spend time in the Word
    pray in the Spirit.     
    resist the devil
    guard your heart
    fellowship with fellow believers.

Truly, truly, 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 unto my Father.
In order to do the works that Jesus did one must Believe On Jesus.     To Believe On Jesus is to believe exactly and only what Jesus just told His disciples in .     

This is one of the most ignored things that Jesus said.     Why?     Due to the doctrine of the trinity believers have relegated Jesus to just being Saviour.     So, they believe on Jesus for salvation but defer to 'God' as the real deity.     

Disciples follow their master in His footsteps learning from Him and imitating Him.     

Jesus is telling us that we are to spread the Gospel, heal the sick, set captives free and make disciples of all men.     Doing so is doing Good Works, Mighty Works.     

We can only do this by the power of the Holy Spirit Of Christ Jesus operating in a vessel with the Mind Of Christ Jesus.     


What did Jesus mean by 'I go unto my Father'?     Jesus returned to the Spirit Realm ( Heaven) when He ascended where the Holy Spirit Father is most readily experienced.     It is the seat from where The Majesty emanates throughout the universe.

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Jesus taught in their synagogues
    speaking of the prophecies concerning Himself
    removing the superficiality of Judaism

Jesus preached the Gospel of the kingdom
    the good news of Holy Spirit love
    the provision of all things for all needs.     

He healed all manner of diseases
    to eliminate suffering
    to prove the message of the Kingdom

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.
What have we received?     
All things for life and godliness .     

What are we to give?     
All things for life and godliness.     

Who are we to give to?     
Whosoever will come to Christ Jesus in faith .     

Jesus wants us to administer His kingdom to those who will enter into it by faith in Him.     

If you are a believer and receiver of Christ Jesus, you have all things for life and godliness in you.     You are to give out those gifts to others freely.

And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
This is the Great Commission.     It is still in force.     We are expected to carry the Gospel to every creature.     

Jesus did not expect every person to believe, but He wants us to make sure all nations hear the Gospel as it is a criteria for His return.     

He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned.
Paul echoes Christ when he says we are saved by Grace Through Faith .     

The baptism referred to here is immersion into Christ Jesus .     

It is not enough just to believe that Jesus is the Christ.     We must immerse ourselves in Him being Baptized In The Name Of Jesus Christ.     
How do we do that?     
    absorb the Word
    Spirit Baptism
    have the Mind Of Christ

As to Water Baptism, it is public evidence of faith in Christ.     It is not evidence to the Lord as He knows the heart of man.     

Paul makes it clear that Spirit Salvation is a result of Heart Faith in Christ Jesus and oral confession that Jesus is the resurrected Christ in .     

Public Confession of Christ confirms our salvation to ourselves and those to whom we witness.     It is a precursor to lifelong sharing of the Testimony Of Jesus Christ.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Jesus tells us that we will operate in His power to do signs and wonders, to exorcise demons and to speak in new tongues ( Prayer Language and messages in tongues).

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
We will not be subject to physical attacks by virtue of the Holy Spirit supernaturally empowering and protecting us.
