All believers believe in the the commandments of God. Jesus live in this world for 33 years, looked forgot the last 3 years of his life.
He was crucified at Calvary and resurrected 3 days later.
After Resurrection He interacted with His disciples for 40 days with various commandments. One of them is to ask his disciples to go out to proclaim the word of God and to spread the good news, of forgiveness from God after repentance.
From that day onwards Jesus let his disciples to go out to spread the word.
This commandment exists in all of us Christians and in every Church in the world.
Mark 16:15-18
Matthew 28:18-20
Luke 24:46-49
There are many difficulties faced when we spread God`s word.
The theory of evolution.
The situation of modern science.
The social aspect of life.
Not many people saw Jesus after he had risen. Therefore it is very difficult for them to believe.
It`s not possible without the power from God.
John 20:21-22
Acts 1:8
We need to receive the power and promise from God.
Today with the mobile phone and social media, it has become even harder to reach out to people and to get them to listen when we go out to proclaim the word. People rather look at their phones.
We received the power from above and use it as a testimonies to touch the people.
Unlike medicine that can show its effect, is very difficult to explain to the people the peace that we experience when we accept God. We need the power from God above.
The signs of believers- ability to drive out demons, ability to heal the sick when we pray for them, we will speak in tongues.
