So You Want To Love People Like Jesus Did.
Here is what Jesus did all the time, over and over because He loved people and still does (Hebrews 13:8). Here is what any Christian can do, AND here is what Jesus commands us to do. The reason we do not is that we allow the devils/wrong teaching to convince us we need a special anointing or gift, make us afraid to pray for people in public outside 'church', make us afraid it might not work, or that people have to be saved to get healed. Jesus healed and delivered many that were not saved, did not believe, and one was dead! Please see John 5:1-15, John chapter 9, in Luke 7:11-17 and Mark 5:34-43 no one "believed" except Jesus. In Mark 9:18-24 the father did not believe. Note Jesus did not say to come back when you can believe. He did what was needed at he time from a heart of compassion by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Please be aware that Jesus voluntarily gave up the independent use of His Godly powers like omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence and had to minister just as we do; from a heart of compassion by the Holy Spirit in us.See Hebrews 2:17-18, Philippians 2:7 and Acts 10:38.

Mark 16:17-18 New King James Version (NKJV) 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[a] 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.”

Remember, we have the power living in us that raises the dead! The Holy Spirit wants to do these things through us. NOW! Please note it says "those who believe". ANY believer can do these things, even in Walmart! And besides it is FUN!!I can give anyone a link that is excellent on the "how to" if they wish. Please remember the devil will oppose you in this with everything he has. He will even try to convince you it is not for today or has passed away. Faith in this case means continuing to do these things even if results are not apparent or immediate. Zero people prayed for to be healed, delivered or raised from the dead equals 0 results.
If not us who? If not now when?
One shark in 1916 forever changed the US, including the shark experts. Think what Christians could do doing Mark 16:17-18 and Matthew 10:7-8.

Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

The only people Jesus Christ loved was His people. This people is known as Elect Israel and Elect Church. And it is a good Scripture you mention in Hebrews 13:8 for Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has always loved His Elect, He died for His Elect, those whose names are written by God in the book of life of the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. And God does not change. Christ does not change. Christ did not change the Law of Moses, He fulfilled the Law of Moses. And through Union with Christ we who are of His Body, of His Elect fulfill the Law of Moses as well.


The reason we do not is that we allow the devils/wrong teaching to convince us we need a special anointing or gift, make us afraid to pray for people in public outside 'church', make us afraid it might not work, or that people have to be saved to get healed. Jesus healed and delivered many that were not saved, did not believe, and one was dead!
Everyone who had contact with Christ in the gospels and received blessing of Him also were His elect and were saved (kept under the law - Gal. 3:23), until such time as atonement (curtain torn) was made and the Holy Spirit arrived. There are 153 persons in the gospels that had received blessing of Christ and salvation was given to everyone of them.

It is not our "compassion" that we minister. It is through obedience to God. In order to be obedient to God we must first be saved. Once saved we are given a calling and ministry and command as well as spiritual gifts to accomplish that call, but always through Biblical discipleship and obedience. Christ did not send anyone out until they were first discipled. Sadly, Biblical discipleship is sorely lacking in the Church today. Sunday evening, mid-week Bible Study, retreats into the mountains or camping areas is not Biblical discipleship.

It is widely held by scholars that Mark 16:9-20 was added to the gospel after it had been written by Mark.

Not "any believer" can do those things except those to whom God has given command. The only "how to" is found in the Bible, and it is always accompanied by obedience. In order to be obedient the servant must be taught, and taught the true doctrine of the Word of God. Too many in the Church do not know their calling nor their gift(s) because true Biblical dicipleship and right doctrine is not being taught the neophyte who comes to Christ.
The command to do what was done in Matthew 10 was given specifically to the Lord's twelve disciples. They were given command to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. To teach others that they are under this command is incorrect and is steering the believer the wrong way.
 
Real good subject Lesjude! Christianity teaches the believer to love as Jesus loved (John 15:12); meaning no longer love others as you love yourself, which is conditional and Old Covenant (Lev 19:18), which Jesus was reiterating (Matt 22:40). But in the New Covenant, it's as you stated, to love as Jesus loved; no longer as you love yourself, which is conditional, but as Jesus loved, which is unconditional.

God's blessings to your Family!

Hello Jeremiah1five.

I agree with you on doctrine and discipleship.

You wrote that only the twelve were empowered to perform the command.

In the Gospel of Luke the apostles complain to Jesus about others casting out
demons in the name of Jesus. Please read the response of Jesus.

Luke 9
49 Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name,
and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side.”

Luke 10:1 Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.
Luke 10:17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

Mark 16:17 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
 
GOD puts His perfect type LOVE in All our New spirits! all we do is live and walk in our Spirit more1 It very simple ! We just fast ! I found it only takes three days water only and Praying for us to get thur the 2nd day ! Because satan will do anything to stop you ! he saw what took place at the churches beginning ! How they walked in the power of GOd and many were healed and Born -again ! he does not want us reaching the lost healing the sick raising the dead and Hearing our LORD Perfectly ! Walking in His Mighty Power!
it the truth that sets us FREE !

god already given us everything and a Part of His very being ! It all within our New Creature , Our Spirit ! And God has even given us HIS POWER , the HOLY GHOST!

Not many churches today are telling the true church there place in GOD Kingdom as More than conquerors and 100% Overcomers !
Rom_8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
That not a little things it a Conqueror which You have Already been Declared and it cannot be changed ! no matter what lies the devil tells !

Mat_10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Act_26:8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Listen most do not obey the HOLY GHOST out of FEAR ! that satan main weapon , getting us to tink we might fail ? But Live by Faith ! Faith that GOD Living words are truth ! We can always speak in our minds First and ask GOd ? Do you really want me to step out and Do THIS ? He will confirm it if it from GOD !


There is No limit on GOD power !Only our Faith ?

He SAId we could do greater works and He also said Nothing would be Impossible for Us ! Mighty Statement !now the question becomes ? Do we believe it or Not ?Will we live it or Not ?

We Do All things for HIS Glory and HONOR ! Not to appear mighty in the LORD ! or so others will look up to Us !

paul got high minded and suffered for it !We do not want that !


Mat_16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Mat_18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Joh_20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.



1Pe_2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Joh_17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh_17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Gal_4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
We are ALL ONE in the LORD with the Same HOLY GHOST [GOD POWER } None greater or Less!

2Co_13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen

1Co_15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Ti_1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1Co_2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

2Pe_1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Are you saying that a Christian has to keep the law to be saved like the feasts, circumcision, the dietary laws, etc? If you are that is HERSEY!


Everyone who had contact with Christ in the gospels and received blessing of Him also were His elect and were saved (kept under the law - Gal. 3:23), until such time as atonement (curtain torn) was made and the Holy Spirit arrived.

Judas was not saved nor did the man healed in John 5:1-15 stop sinning. see verse 16. The man in Matthew 19:16-22 was not saved. The parents of the man in John 9:22 denied Christ.

Just go do it. We do. How about you?

Not "any believer" can do those things except those to whom God has given command. The only "how to" is found in the Bible, and it is always accompanied by obedience. In order to be obedient the servant must be taught, and taught the true doctrine of the Word of God. Too many in the Church do not know their calling nor their gift(s) because true Biblical dicipleship and right doctrine is not being taught the neophyte who comes to Christ.

If you do not like any of those do it on the basis of John 14:12. Besides your religious opinions are too late because we and others we know are already doing Matthew 10:7- 8 and Mark 16:17-18. The command is quite clear in Mark which says those who BELIEVE will do what Jesus says.
