Jesus taught, preached, healed, raised the dead, and drove out demons


"Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people." Matthew 4:23 (NIV).

I am thinking if someone wants to become the image of Jesus, they would look in God’s holy word and read exactly what Jesus did. That should give us a pretty good clue to what we are to be conforming to. Yes, Jesus certainly was compassionate and loving, but He was much, much more. As the first walking House of God on earth, Jesus taught, Jesus preached, and Jesus healed!

We are now the House of God on earth and we, too, are to be bring Heaven to earth. The will of the Father was “on earth as it is in Heaven”. Jesus did the will of his Father and we are to do the same. God's will is that simple, "on earth as it is in Heaven".

As you read the Gospel insert your name every time you come across the name of Jesus as he is doing signs and wonders. What you read is what we are to do. We have been given the power and the authority of Jesus through his Father. Yes, the Kingdom Power.

Jesus came to earth as a man that was right with God and through God was able to do many things. "For nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:37 (NIV). Nothing is impossible for us either if it is the will of God.

Claim the Kingdom Power and authority that is yours as a son or daughter of the King of the Universe. That is your identity. Do the things that Jesus did! “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8 (NIV).

Ask the Holy Spirit what he wants you to do today. I am thinking He has already told you, but you just are not listening. Accept the position in the Kingdom that God has given you. Teach, preach, heal, raise the dead, and drive out demons in the name of Jesus for the Kingdom.
