These were the words Jesus spoke to His disciples in Matt. 10 when He was sending them out to proclaim the message of His Kingdom and do His works.  They were to “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,  and drive out demons.”  These were His instructions. 

As freely as they accepted the salvation He offered, so freely did they receive the power to perform these miraculous deeds He commanded them to do.

In His name, His power and His authority, you and I can go and do likewise, for the Kingdom of Heaven has come near.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, by faith we will launch out today and begin performing the works You commanded Your disciples to do.  Let Your Kingdom come, Your will be done.
