John 14:12 (AMP)

¹²I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

Reflections:

Now I didn�t say this, Jesus did. What do you think He meant? As for me, even though I haven�t seen as much as I would like to see of Jesus ministry, I believe it means exactly what it says. That brings us to the question, �well, just what did Jesus do?� Because whatever it was that he did is what we�re to also be bringing forth in the earth!

� He healed people physically, every one of them, 100% of the time.

� He performed miracles and they worked, 100% of the time.

� He boldly proclaimed truth, no matter what, and confounded everyone with heavenly wisdom, 100% of the time!

� He boldly tore apart the gates of hell by casting out demons whenever he came in contact with them, 100% of the time!

You say, well yea but � Please, let�s not attempt to make excuses as to why this statement of Jesus isn�t true. The very same Holy Spirit that dwelt in Jesus dwells in us. If we continually make excuses we can�t be �steadfastly� believing in Him; which seems to be a strong prerequisite here.

Truth be known, we�ve been conditioned not to believe! The excuses abound:

� What Jesus did, in terms of the supernatural, was just to jump start Christianity in the beginning.

� The only miracle Jesus does nowadays is the New Birth.

� He�s given us medical doctors to keep us well.

� Demons really aren�t an issue to the born-again Christian, so why even bother dealing with them.

Excuses, excuses. Excuses. I�ve even made a few up myself when I couldn�t figure it out. Whatever happened to �steadfastly� believing the Word of God? For, me, I�m going to take a fresh look at this verse and ask the Holy Spirit to lead me to a �greater� ministry than even that of Jesus! Or isn�t that what he said?
