And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ. Acts 5:42

The command of the Lord is unquestionable: we must proclaim His words, proving the effectiveness of the Gospel. When we pronounce them, we will be Christ´s representatives. This is the group of people He has prepared to shake the world with His power, because humanity is tired of religious philosophy. Jesus’ command is to preach the Good News.

The Messiah is above the prophets, for He is God from the beginning. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made (John 1: 3b). The Master knew exactly how to proceed for man to understand the plan of salvation, and He taught us to do this. We need not look for new ways to evangelize, but consecrate ourselves so that the Lord will use us as He did with the Savior, healing the sick and delivering the oppressed.

In our day, we can proclaim loud and clear: there are no limits for the believer to do wonders. Just as the Father loved Jesus the Savior, who received all power in heaven and on Earth, He has loved us. The Most High entrusted this prerogative to Christ, so that His disciples, the new converts, and we could bear witness to the Truth.

Why use persuasion techniques if we have the real “commodity”? The world will not be converted through propaganda and marketing, but by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and the power from on High. Some churches may even house crowds of “converts.” However, if they do not prove of God’s love, the heavens will be empty. Only those who change their garments will be in the Kingdom, and this is carried out only by divine power.

The work capable of shaking the world by Jesus´ witnesses has already been accomplished. Now, when we understand our duty to spread the Good News to the ends of the Earth, we do good to people as co-workers of the Lord. What will make the lost go to Jesus is the demonstration of the Spirit and divine power.

Philip shook Samaria, who had refused to receive Jesus, by demonstrating that the Master was the Christ. Seeing the paralytics walk, the demons cast out, and the sick healed, the Samaritans gave credit to that preacher. So it will be with those in the hands of the Most High, preaching the Word with the anointing from on High. The lost will truly convert!

Never mind your life before you heard the Gospel! Once set free by the Son of God, you can be used by Him, giving the long-awaited opportunity of salvation to the lost. Now the true and fearless servants of the Lord must do the work with heavenly signs.

In Christ, with love,
