Jesus is not looking for spiritual superstars He is looking for willing servants!

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. John 14:12 NKJV

Who am I to send out these daily messages? What makes me think I have the knowledge qualifications and understanding of God’s Word to write these devotions?

Those questions completely miss the point!

The question is not who am I, but what am I? I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I am the temple of the Holy Spirit.

What greater works is Jesus talking about?

Jesus is God. We cannot be greater than Him. God’s Word says we will do greater works than Jesus, How?

The Lord does not walk the earth in bodily form today. Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father praying for us.

The “Other Helper” The Holy Spirit is active in the world drawing people to the Father. He is in us, empowering and enabling us to be about the Father’s business!

When we submit to the Lord, yield ourselves to Him, obey Him and draw near to Him, Jesus’ ministry is multiplied. How do we submit to Jesus? How do we yield ourselves to Jesus? How do we obey and draw near the Lord? By faith!

By faith I get up in the morning. By faith I open up my bible. I ask Jesus which scripture verse He wants to send out. By faith I type out what the Lord puts in my heart and mind.

God is not a respecter of persons. I am not anyone special. If you step out in faith Jesus will give you what you need when you need it to accomplish His will for your life.

Jesus is not looking for spiritual superstars. The Lord is looking for willing servants!

Jesus is looking for men and women whose hearts are surrendered to Him. He is looking for men and women who will allow the Lord to do greater works in them and through them today!

Today is the day for you to do the greater works of God. Do what you can right where you are with what you have for the glory of God!

Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding on your behalf. What is Jesus asking the Father for? Jesus is asking the Father to answer your prayers when you pray according to the Father’s will. What is the Father’s will?

God wants you to serve Him. Serve the Lord by faith in Jesus Christ!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus is not looking for spiritual superstars He is looking for willing servants!
