The Wonderful Name of Jesus (2)

"And these signs will follow those 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." (Mark 16:17-18)
It was said of Jesus "never has man spoke like this" (John 7:47) some at another place in astonishment said "he has done all things well" (Mark 7:37); some others marvelled at his mastery over nature (Mark 4:41); never did man pray with such boldness - for He confidently said in prayer "I know that You always hear Me" (John 11:42) - what a wonder He was and is!
The blind saw, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, the sick were healed and the dead raised back to life, and demons couldn't withstand His presence.
I announce to you that it didn't end there for He has given us the authority to do what He did and even much more IN HIS NAME (John14:12)
When He asked us to do exploits in His name, He has only asked us to do those things in His stead.
He has given us power of attorney to act in His place as if He was here. The world has a way-out of its distress, bondage and helpleness today because the believers who bears the name of Jesus are around. His name makes all the difference!
Take your place friends, and let's give the world the help it needs in the name of Jesus. Ready?
