                       Do You Want It?

Dear one, I have a question for you: Do you really want to do the 
things that I did when I walked on this earth? 

The reason I am asking you this question is because it really is 
possible for you to do that. I have already promised it to you[a], 
and it is very easy to qualify for. In fact, I want it for you--I 
want you to be on My agenda and I want you to do the works that I 
did when I walked on this earth. Dear one, I  want it for you more 
than you want it for yourself. So I ask you again--do you really want 
to do the works that I did when I walked on this earth? 

Too many of My own do not want it, for they are not walking in it, 
even thought it has already been given to them. 

Dear one, do not be like them, for it is disobedience born from a 
lack of faith that grieves My heart. You can have it if you want 
it--all you have to do is to believe in Me with all of your heart, 
soul and strength. 

Then you need to begin behaving as though you truly believe. Begin 
stretching out your hand to pray for the sick, and see what happens. 
Begin commanding demons and oppression to leave people, using the 
authority that I have already placed in your hand. Begin speaking the 
truth of the Kingdom and the message of the good news of the gospel 
to those who are without hope, and watch them come alive and receive 
with gladness. 

Dear one, do not try to carry some other message than the one you 
have been given, for I am love incarnate, and I am sending you out to
proclaim that through Me, others may enter into My grace and blessing
and love. Through Me, they may have solutions to the very real problems
that trouble them...for I desire to be their provision and their 
protection and their healing and their peace.

Dear one, I have already placed the power within your hands to do the
same signs and wonders that I did--but do them only as a witness to 
Who I am, so that others might believe in Me. 

I have given you the authority to command demons and to heal all 
sicknesses. But it requires the key of faith--of believing in Me--to 
unlock that authority in order that you might use it. So start small, 
with things that you are able to stretch your faith to believe--pray 
for your friend with a headache, pray provision for the stranger 
behind you in line at the grocery store who lost their job and does 
not know how they will continue to feed their family. Release My 
authority and My provision in their life. When an unsaved acquaintance
is plagued with fear and anxiety, command it to leave them in My name
and release My peace upon them.  

Even the most simple prayer is a testimony to My glory, for when I 
answer the prayer I will do so in a way that they know it is Me. So 
start small, dear one, and watch and see what I will do. I want your
faith to grow until you are no longer limited by doubt and unbelief,
so that you might do the same works that I have done, as a testimony
to My name.

Yes, dear one, start small and let your faith grow--but do start! Do
not sit back with a "watch and see" type of attitude that is the 
trademark of disbelief. Begin believing in Me, that you might do the 
works that I did. Then start behaving as one who believes.

a. John 14:12-14 "12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in 
   Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things
   than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do 
   whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to 
   the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will 
   do it."
