Well, it’s time you get hooked up with the Holy Ghost to find out what His ways are and what His thoughts are! When you do that, you’ll get the same message Jesus gave: “Greater works shall ye do.” (See John 14:12.) But He’s waiting for you. You say you’re waiting for Him, but He’s waiting for you. You just have to make a decision! You just have to get off your blessed assurance, shake yourself, and say “I’m going to do the works of Jesus.”
Now let me make this clear. If you do the works of Jesus, you’re going to have opposition. Opposition will be a truck with your name written on it, coming down the road looking for you. Conflict will come, but that just means you’re in the right company. Every time Jesus spoke in public, some folks picked up rocks to stone Him. So when they say you’re of the devil, remember that they said Jesus cast out devils by the devil. It doesn’t matter what people say, just make sure you are right with God and keep doing the works of Jesus. It doesn’t matter how you feel, just keep doing the works of Jesus. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances around you look like, keep doing the works of Jesus.
He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also. What were these works? Jesus walked on water, fed five thousand, raised Lazarus from the dead, raised the widow’s boy from the dead outside the city of Nain, raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead, opened the eyes of the blind, opened the ears of the deaf, cleansed the leper, and much more. And greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. God has invested His power, His name, His blood, and His Spirit to enable and empower you to do the works of Jesus. I’m telling you, we’re living in the day and age where we will see some of those greater works. When the Church realizes this, they will shake nations for Jesus!
The time to do the works of Jesus is now, not just on Sunday morning. Sunday morning is a time to celebrate the works that He’s been doing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! You must always be doing the works of Jesus.
So what’s keeping us from doing the works of Jesus? Folks have a variety of excuses. Some people say, “You know I’m fighting this sickness in my body. If I can just get healed of it, then I’ll go get somebody else healed.”
I’m telling you, if you’ll just get out there and do the works of Jesus and lay hands on the sick, you’ll look again for the symptoms and they’ll be gone. While you were doing the works of Jesus, your own body was healed.
Somebody else said, “I just have this great financial need, and when it gets sorted out, then I’ll be able to go and do the works of Jesus.”
No, just start right where you are. If you go out of your way to be a blessing to other people, your own needs will be supernaturally met by the power of the Holy Ghost.
People are always waiting for a time that never comes. They’re like a donkey chasing a carrot on a stick. They’re looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. To do the works of Jesus, you’ve just got to start where you are — as bad as you feel, as tired as you feel, as messed up as you feel. We shouldn’t go by how we feel!
