AND THEY WILL RECOVER
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).
Being filled with the Holy Spirit gives us tremendous power for living the Christian life.
The Holy Spirit has not been given to the Church to entertain congregations but rather to empower them. Jesus said, “Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you. . .” (Acts 1:8 KJV). The Holy Spirit gives us power not just to shout out, run the aisles, or to put on a show. He empowers us to intervene in society as a witness.
The Book of Acts records the amazing signs and wonders that occurred through the disciples. What was the catalyst for these miracles? Pentecost. After being endued with power from on high, “They went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following” (Mark 16:20 KJV).
That’s the kind of power we need to transform our lives, families, churches, and society.
