BE THE LIVING COPY OF JESUS CHRIST!
People can never see Christ today in the physical form, but they can see Jesus in you today. Jesus will not come in the physical form to heal people today, but Jesus will come to heal people today through you and I by using you and I to do it. He empowers us to do the same things which He would have done in the physical himself. When He is doing it through us, he uses you to do it as though Jesus himself has walked physically on earth and doing it physically.
I am continuing to do what Jesus started to do in the mountains and hills of Galilee 2000 years ago. We are not doing anything new, but we are excavating upon those old remains of what Jesus laid when he came to earth. We are excavating upon the teachings, miracles, signs and wonders and great works that Jesus did yesterday. These things must come alive in us today if we are true disciples of Jesus. We must witness what Jesus did yesterday by allowing the risen Christ to do it through you and me today. We are disciples of Jesus. And a disciple is a student, from Latin word discipulus; meaning, a student, pupil, a learner, a disciple. A disciple in the ancient biblical world actively imitated both the life and teaching of the master. It was a deliberate apprenticeship which made the fully formed disciple a living copy of the master or teacher.
Jesus said to this effect, ” Students are to be like their teacher… ” Matthew 10:25 NLT.
Now if we are students of Jesus Christ and yet we are not doing what our teacher did yesterday in Galilee and in all Israel, it then cast serious questions of doubt whether you are really a true disciple of Christ. If you claim to be a disciple of Jesus and yet not believing on the teaching of the solid biblical truth and on the presence of the miraculous, then you are an illegitimate disciple.
Jesus healed yesterday all kind of sickness and disease among people. To be like him, you have to heal all kinds of disease and sickness among the people as one of his true disciples. When Jesus called his people, he gave them power to heal all manner of sickness and all kind of disease, Matthew 10:1,8
[1]Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
[8]Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. Luke 9:1 One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. Luke 10:9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ Healing is a command of Jesus to all his legitimate disciples or students.
As if that was not enough He gets them into an extravagant spectrum. Jesus says, ‘You will do what I do, and I am not insecure about anything, I tell you this out of my whole heart, ‘You will do greater things than all these things you have witnessed me do in the presence of many.” John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do–that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father”
This fact of you doing what Jesus did can’t be debated or disputed about. There is no room or allowance for arguments. This is an absolute truth! What it only allows is believing and acting on it.
It only needs to be believed and acted upon and then you will begin to witness tremendous results in your life of being the student of Jesus.
Like Simon Peter, when he saw his teacher walk on water, he said, call me also to walk on it. When Jesus called him to walk on water, Just like the teacher, Peter jumped on the water and never saw water and began to walk on it.
