Title: I Will Do What I Do.
Compared to the Old Testament prophets who displayed signs and wonders by the power of God, Jesus directly revealed signs and wonders through His words. According to Mark 4:35-41, when Jesus asked his disciples to cross over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, the disciples drove the boat in a rush, but not long before they met a great storm in the middle of the sea. When the water came in and the boat was about to sink, the disciples approached Jesus, who had been sleeping on the side of the boat until then, and asked, "Teacher, do you not take care of our death?" Jesus awoke, rebuking the wind, and said to the sea, "Be still! Be still!" Immediately, the wind ceased and the sea became very calm! Jesus said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?" And when they rebuked the disciples for their lack of faith, they were very afraid, and each of them said to each other, "Who is this that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
In imitation of this, Christians today claim that they, too, cast out demons by relying on the Holy Spirit, and that the lame who was wearing crutches threw them away and started walking completely through newspapers and Christian broadcasts. It was completely different from what the disciples were doing. At that time, the disciples of Jesus lived under the law and did such things through Jesus, and that was the process of salvation. Today, such miracles are shown by the Holy Spirit, showing the miracles of God to the Gentiles living among unbelievers. It was to show such signs and signs that more people would believe in Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit and live as spiritual Israelites. Even if unbelievers who did not know God saw such miracles, if they believe in Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit, they will live as spiritual Israelites. To those who lived as spiritual Israelites all over the world, God now sends a spiritual Son of God to Gentiles. This is a measure so that those who believe in the Son and come out can enter into full salvation.
The spiritual Son of God who comes from among the Gentiles also has all authority because the Father has given him all authority, so those who believe and follow the Son also have all authority along with the Son to drive out the evil spirits in those who believe, and to conquer all things. to rule and rule. The servants who worked with the Holy Spirit may have shown miracles to cure the diseases in the body of Christians, but no one could cure the diseases of the heart that the evil spirit had in the hearts of believers.
But the spiritually coming Sons of God will now heal them among men. As long as you do not cast out the evil spirit in your heart, no matter how much you enjoy bodily abundance, it is never true happiness. No matter how much money or fame you have, if you don't feel comfortable in your heart, it's worse than nothing. If the prophets of the Old Testament prepared and led the way for Jesus to come, the servants who were used greatly by the Holy Spirit today must also prepare the way for the sons of God who will come spiritually. Servants who do not prepare for this will unconditionally be driven out into darkness. But when the Sons of God come, the servants who were preparing the way will be guaranteed eternal life as a generous reward from their master.
