The
Great Commission
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
And
he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
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.(Mark 16:15-18)
In Mark chapter 16,
Jesus gave the Great Commission to His disciples. Jesus is about to
depart and be with the Father, and His disciples are going to take His
place in the earth.
They are going
to be His representatives and continue His ministry—to do what He would
do if He were there.
Jesus gave the
Great Commission to herald the Good News to a world for whom He died. He
revealed that the twofold ministry would continue.
First, the
Commission was given to meet the spiritual need of man. Jesus said, "He
that believeth and is baptized shall be saved..." (Mark 16:16).
Second, Mark 16:17
says, "And these signs shall follow them that believe..." The Greek word
for "believe" in verse 17 is the same word that you'll find in verse 16.
Both promises stem from the simple term "believing."
The act of believing
brings one into the family of God. And then, the rich cluster of
miraculous promises that follow also belongs to them who believe—or, as
the Greek says, to "the believing ones."
Confession
I believe and am saved. And signs follow me
because I am a believing one. I cast out devils in Jesus' Name. I speak
with new tongues. I lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
