Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “A mind stretched by a new idea never returns to its original shape.”
- I wonder what would happen to Spirit-filled Christians if they really understood and believed these scriptures?
- John 4:4 - "Greater is he that in you, than he that is in the world"
- John 14:12 says, “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these.”
Jesus had a pretty impressive resume of miracles! It’s easy to say, “but that’s Jesus. What does that have to do with me?” The answer is everything! As the scripture says above “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these".
My son is learning alot of things, it is amazing how fast kids develop. But, if i told you that Lachlan can do algebra and calculus, you wouldn't believe me (after all he's only 15 months). You would say, "that's impossible". It is not impossible! It may be impossible at his present stage of development, but give him a few years and he should be able to do it.
Just as a young child grows up and in time they can do those things that were impossible when they were new borns or toddlers. The same is in the spiritual realm, faith is the only difference between what is impossible and what is possible. It is a developmental issue. Impossibilities disappear as we develop our faith.
Soren Kierkegaard “If I were to wish for anything I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of what can be, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never”.
Albert Einstein said, “Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by the age of eighteen.”
With the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we can do "greater works" than Jesus even did! That's what the Bible says!
That's my five minutes!
