Signs of the Believers

Mark 16:15-18 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow these who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.
Christ left us with the Promise of Power through Him and the Holy Spirit. He also left us with the command to evangelize!
The signs accompany evangelism as much as they cover personal edification, or building up. Christ promised us power to do great things but notice that there was no time frame given for these works.
Yes, these gifts and signs are still in action today! We are still speaking with new tongues, healing, and making our way through situations we never imagined possible!
With Christ and the Power of the Spirit all things are possible! We must learn to yield to this power and embrace it, not run away from it.
How much do we miss because we don’t let the Holy Spirit fulfill the promise Christ left us with? We need to trust that He is real and knows exactly what He is doing, even if at times it feels weird or is out of our comfort zones.
When we open up to the power of the Spirit, we will experience Christ on a whole new level. Let’s not miss out on this!
