If you believe in Jesus Christ, some people would be against you, but when you preach Him openly, there’ll be more who would be against you. Even some of those who accepted you formerly would start saying, “Why do you have to preach Him so openly. Believe in Him and be quiet about it.” Then when you begin to have signs and wonders and miracles, your friends would be even fewer! Some of those who accepted you and your preaching Jesus openly would start speaking against you. The truth is that even though those who support you may be fewer, you would have more admirers, because everybody wants to see the power of God. Everybody wants to see miracles; even those who criticize miracles secretly desire to see them.
That’s the reason for our ministry’s TV programs; they’re to let people know Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, and that He’s still performing miracles today through His Church. The large crowds and the miracles that we show are not computer-generated or stage-managed.
You know, Jesus said it is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing (John 6:63). Human charisma can never bring the crowds, neither can it produce the miracles; it takes the Spirit of God. Zechariah 4:6 tells us that it’s not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord. Miracles are done by the power of the Holy Spirit. If you have received the Holy Spirit, then learn to yield to Him. That’s what it takes. When you yield yourself to the Holy Spirit, the power of God can be manifested, the Spirit of God can work through you and people can receive a miracle when you minister to them by faith in the Name of Jesus Christ.
