come what may

Sunday, February 1

Jesus did all of His miracles
as a man, not as God.
Let that sink in.
This is a profound truth
that changes everything.

Pastor Bill Johnson writes: "Jesus alone could not heal the sick.
Neither could He deliver the tormented from demons
or raise the dead.
To believe otherwise is to
ignore what Jesus said about Himself,
and more importantly,
to miss the purpose of His
self-imposed restriction to live as a man.

Jesus said of Himself:
"I tell you the truth,
the Son can do nothing by himself;
he can do only what he sees his Father doing,
because whatever the Father does the Son also does"
'nothing' means NOTHING.
He had NO supernatural capabilities whatsoever

While He is 100 percent God,
He chose to live with the
same limitations that man
would face.

Jesus is the model
for all who would embrace
the invitation to invade the impossible
in His name.
He performed miracles,
wonders, and signs,
as a man in right relationship to God...
not as God.

If He performed miracles because He was God,
miracles would be unattainable for us.
But if He did them as a man,
I am responsible to pursue His lifestyle.

Jesus said
you and I will do
even greater works than He did.

"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."
John 14:12-13

The question for each of us is,
"How dependent
and obedient to the Holy Spirit
are we so we can experience this same power?"
