THE GO FACTOR:
Mark 16:15-20 NKJV
[15] And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. [17] And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; [18] they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” [19] So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. [20] And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
God’s gifts and power have been given to us for a purpose. To preach the Gospel to every creature and to all the nations of the world. The Holy Spirit has also been Poured out on us for this very purpose.
Acts 1:8 NKJV
[8] But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
It is only when we act in obedience to God’s word and go out to preach the Gospel that the power of God is activated and flows through us to touch and transform lives.
Acts 8:5-7 NKJV
[5] Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. [6] And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. [7] For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
When we step out in faith to preach the Gospel, God will confirm His word with signs,wonders, and miracles. Do you believe that God’s power and gifts are available to you, and that you have authority to use the name of Jesus? Do you love God? Do you have compassion for the lost? Then obey His commandments and go? God’s POWER follows only those who GO!
