Greater Works



Why can we do greater works than Jesus did? John 14:12,13,14

Because we are facing a defeated foe!

Hebrews 2:14 " Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, "

When you see someone sick, crying, hurting and in need and you walk past them. You have just walked past one of your works God has given you to do.

The person that has the I can in him, should never say I can't. - Smith Wigglesworth

Proverbs 19:17 "One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed." We can give from our need, knowing God will provide for us. 2 Cor 9:8
