You Are Jesus to the World | Becoming a Believer | Dr. Don Schaefer

Becoming A Believer And Overcoming Doubt! You Are Jesus to the World …Becoming Effective in Ministry! John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to unto my Father.” “Christ has no body but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which He looks with compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with Which He walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world.” Teresa of Avila 1. You are His REPRESENTATIVE here on earth! John 20:21 “Peace be unto you: as my Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 2. Every believer is CALLED to ministry! Mark 16:15-18“And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to all creation… And these signs shall accompany those that believe; In my name shall drive out demons; they shall speak in new tongues… they shall place hands on sick people, and they will get well.” 3. The one who ministers CARRIES the faith! Matthew 17:20 “He replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” 4. God RESPONDS to your faith in reaching others! Mark 2:3-5 “Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowering the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, Son, your sins are forgiven.” 5. Other people’s UNBELIEF shouldn’t stop you! Mark 6:5-6 “He could not do any miracles there, except lay hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.” 6. Understanding the BATTLE and your Authority! Luke 10:19 “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” 7. We need to STAY with Him and stay in the Word! Mark 3:14-15 “He appointed twelve that trhey might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.”
