Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, and he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be dead. And these signs shall follow them that believe. In my name shall they cast out devil.
In my name they shall speak with new tongues. In my name 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. Preach the gospel. Now, he didn't say go into the world and make a nuisance of yourself.
He didn't say go into the world and just stand on a street corner and blather into the universe of spiritual things. No, he said you're to go, and you are to find a people who are unbonded. And you are to proclaim the kingdom of God as you know it, as it's been revealed in your heart.
As you have believed, as you have followed, you are to proclaim this kingdom, and the Lord says, I'll be with you. And these signs are going to follow the preaching of the word of God. I'm going to do certain things in the lives of those that you preach to.
Preach the gospel. They're crying out. They're looking for meaning.
They're looking for the reason of life. They're looking for, why am I created? What is it about me? Preach the gospel. Preach the gospel.
He says, I will be with your mouth. I hate mediocrity in the name of Jesus Christ. I despise it with everything in my heart.
I hate stupid games in the house of God. We are called to be deliverers. Would be to God, as his people, we would become separate to the purposes of God and consecrate our hearts and our lives and our tongues to God's purpose.
Would be to God that everyone in this house would turn their television off once and for all. Jesus, friend forever. I love you.
I love you. I love you. Jesus.
Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.
That when they speak, it's not for self-glory. When they speak, they have no secondary agenda. Their agenda is Jesus, your kingdom come, your will be done.
Jesus, come. Jesus, come and speak through me. I'm going to go in obedience and I'm going to go consecrated, which means you're making the choice today to say, I'm going to turn off everything that robs my mind of Jesus Christ.
