Confirming The Word By The Signs That Follow

  
 Pro 30:5 ASV - Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.

The lost the needy the poor and hungry not only need to hear the word of God but they need to see the manifestation of Gods word on the earth.    Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;  Signs Greek: semeion    Miracle:
"a sign, mark, token" (akin to semaino, "to give a sign;" sema, "a sign"), is used of "miracles" and wonders as signs of Divine authority; it is translated "miracles" in the RV and AV of Luk 23:8; Act 4:16, 22; most usually it is given its more appropriate meaning "sign," "signs," e.g., Mat 12:38, 39, and in every occurrence in the Synoptists, except Luk 23:8; in the following passages in John's Gospel the RV substitutes "sign" or "signs" for the AV, "miracle or miracles;" Jhn 2:11, 23; 3:2

 Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
Mar 16:16 ASV - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mar 16:19 ASV - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 ASV - And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

 1Co 4:20 ASV - For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.     But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Believing on his name is to bring forth his word with power . It says to those that believe ! in the end of all things you and only you will be responsible for your soul .  This bible is no more than paper and ink just another book. But if we receive it as Gods word to us and manifest the power of his word in us.  Just said even if we have faith as small as a mustard seed we can move mountains .  How is it that man has distorted the true gospel the very words of Christ to us his children.  Mar 16 :15-20 was to the whole church And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.    Mat 24:14 ASV - And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.
Jesus said he would not leave us helpless he would send another helper the holy spirit endued with power from on high .  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.   Baptized unto his death and baptized unto his resurrection .   Eph 4:4 ASV - There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 ASV - one Lord, one faith, one baptism,


To minister this precious gospel you must have evidence of its power .  The problem with the church today is that they believe another gospel , a gospel of no power no signs of the power of faith .  Jesus said greater things shall you do than I have done by your faith . Jhn 14:11 ASV - Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Jhn 14:12 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.   God is calling souls to come and see if he is the Lord .        Rev 3:20 ASV - Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.   This door is the door of your heart , I am reminded of the Passover God gave to the children in   Exo 12:21 ASV - Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover.
Exo 12:22 ASV - And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
Exo 12:23 ASV - For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
The lamb is Jesus and you must apply his blood upon the door of you heart , you must kill the lamb and obey the commandment .   The only way the children were to be delivered from their bondage was to apply the blood upon their hearts .
When he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you               
Heb 9:22 ASV - And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
Heb 9:23 ASV - It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Heb 9:24 ASV - For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:
The power of Jesus comes as he said many times in the gospels , these signs shall follow those who Believe .   Jhn 14:3 ASV - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Jhn 14:18 ASV - I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
Jhn 15:26 ASV - But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
Jhn 16:7 ASV - Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.      Jesus is saying I must die and be buried for you to receive the holy spirit he said it was a promise of the father .
The holy spirit is a sign from God as to the power and life of Christ in you ,  Jesus said the only sign this evil generation will receive is the sign of Jonah .  - I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you .   Luk 24:46 ASV - and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;
Luk 24:47 ASV - and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Luk 24:48 ASV - Ye are witnesses of these things.
Luk 24:49 ASV - And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.
Act 1:8 ASV - But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The reason most Christians do not have the signs following their testimony is that the gospel is that you be filled with the power of God and than the signs will follow those that believe . It has never been about the flesh man has no power no righteousness of his own we need the power of Christ to win souls . The hungry soul wants evidence as to this life ever lasting , you cannot give away something that does not belong to you . If Christ is living in you and you walk in his word than he will be manifested in your life people must see JESUS IN YOU !.    Jhn 14:20 ASV - In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Jhn 14:21 ASV - He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.   Manifest Greek: emphanizo  Appear, Appearing:  metaphorically, of "the manifestation of Christ" by the Holy Spirit in the spiritual experience of believers who abide in His love, Jhn 14:21. It has another, secondary meaning, "to make known, signify, inform." This is confined to the Acts, where it is used five times, Act 23:15, 22; 24:1; 25:2, 15. There is perhaps a combination of the two meanings in Hbr 11:14, i.e., to declare by oral testimony and to "manifest" by the witness of the life.    Jhn 1:4 ASV - In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Jhn 1:5 ASV - And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.   
If we are going to be a soul winner we must ask Jesus to give us that power from on high .                                        
Act 2:4 ASV - And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:39 ASV - For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
Act 2:40 ASV - And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.
Rev 3:21 ASV - He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
"the Jews ask for signs," RV, indicates that the Apostles were met with the same demand from Jews as Christ had been: "signs were vouchsafed in plenty, signs of God's power and love, but these were not the signs which they sought... They wanted signs of an outward Messianic Kingdom, of temporal triumph, of material greatness for the chosen people.... With such cravings the Gospel of a 'crucified Messiah' was to them a stumblingblock indeed"
Jhn 6:63 ASV - It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.
