This is the question Sam Storms attempts to answer in a recent sermon delivered at the home pulpit of John Piper (Bethlehem Baptist Church). It is amazing how we want to see Jesus as an example of so many things, but what about Spirit-empowered ministry? How did Jesus do so many great works? Did He flip his "God-switch"? or was He demonstrating the fulness of life in the Spirit? And what does His example mean for every believer? How does our ministry to the sick and demonized stack up when compared with His? In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded us to teach all disciples to do all the things He has commanded. That definitely includes healing the sick and delivering those who are oppressed by demons (Matthew 10:8). What are your thoughts after hearing this message?

Many years ago a friend of mine was an elder in a liberal church. He was brought to Christ as an adult and began to teach the high school students the book of Mark.
The Elder Board asked him to stop because the kids actually believed what the Bible said and that disturbed the adults. Here is my point. Anyone reading the Bible with open eyes cannot deny that it is a supernatural book of healing, exorcism and change.
Just read it and do it.
