Greater things...

  Did you know that Christians are capable of doing GREATER things than Christ did here on earth? It says so in the Bible. Well, this summer while I was sitting in the sand on Myrtle Beach reading my Bible, I came across this verse. 
  John 14:12- The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even GREATER things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it.
  While I was reading I asked God to reveal something new to me, and this is what He hit me with. It astonished me. I never thought that I, a sinful human, could ever do things that even came close to the things that were done by Jesus. Doesn't that just rock your world? That Jesus, Himself, said that we would do greater things than he did. But these things won't be done through our own power, but through the Holy Spirit within us. "But you shall receive POWER (ability, efficiency and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth." Acts 1:8. These great things that we do will be through God, with His help and strength, and they will bring Him glory. He gives us the power so that we can turn eyes to Him. So this is my revelation of a beautiful life: that we are God's vessels, equipped by Him and ready to do powerful things. You weren't created to do small things. Nothing is small when it comes to the kingdom of God. Accept your destiny.
