We are to be thankful and trustworthy so that we will see more and greater works!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You and I are meant to be examples to those around us as being led by The Holy Spirit.  Also, we are to surrender to Jesus\u2019 commands concerning our walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, <\/u>because I go to My Father.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14 If you ask anything in My Name, I will do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other Words, Jesus said, \u201cI tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do\u2014even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus set the standard that we are to seek and obtain.  The requirements include faith and expectation, an absence of unbelief.  Jesus did not mention any exceptions to the greater works we should expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus further said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15  \u201cLoving Me empowers you to obey My commands<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16-17 And I will ask the Father and He will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth,<\/strong> Who will be to you a friend just like Me\u2014and He will never leave you. The world won\u2019t receive Him because they can\u2019t see Him or know Him. But you know Him intimately because He remains with you and will live inside you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we truly Love Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, we will not be hesitant to exalt Him to others.  We are to be humble and not draw attention to ourselves.  Our greater works are not due to the number of believers, that would be pointless.  Each believer is to bring forth greater works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is a comparison of works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew 9:20-22 NKJV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke recorded the greater works of Paul as he recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 19:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 God kept releasing a flow of extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul. 12 Because of this, people took Paul\u2019s handkerchiefs and articles of clothing, even pieces of cloth that had touched his skin<\/u>, laying them on the bodies of the sick, and diseases and demons left them and they were healed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have personally participated and witnessed the same miracle of praying over a handkerchief and sending it to a girl in a hospital where she was immediately healed.  We are to hunger for more<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I am thankful without being hungry for more,<\/em> I will become complacent and return to the past.  If I am hungry for what is possible but I\u2019m not thankful, first of all, I can\u2019t be trusted with more, secondly, I will frustrate myself and become anxious.  It is the combination of the two, to be trustworthy with the more that GOD desires to release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
