"And He said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
"And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16:20
It seems to me, that the church groups who focus on the go ye and preach verse, do not also have the signs following in their program. They are great at evangelism, but poor at divine healing. We know how to outreach, we know how to plant churches, but we don't know how to heal the sick. We pray for them to be strengthened and encouraged, but not immediately healed.
"Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart..." Mark 16:14
It seems to me that pastor Mitchell realized that something was missing when he began to move into the divine healing arena. Maybe our Fellowship need to spend more time healing the sick too.
"...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Mark 16:18
It doesn't take truckloads of faith to heal the sick. It takes whatever faith you have. It takes obedience, which is faith in action. And it takes compassion.
Do you have what it takes?
