What can you cast out? what can you put into submission? What can you make happen? But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Luke 18:27.
Picture no one sick or no one with disease or no demons to cast. In a perfect world that would be right, we do not live in a perfect world, we live in a sinful world, a world of evil. Nowhere in the bible does it talk about us reaching everyone. the great commission talks about making disciples of all nations, but the verse never says to may everyone one. If every Christian rose up and tried to bring everyone to Christ, there would still be people who would not want to come to Christ no matter how hard we tried, take a look at the pharisees. They had Jesus in their presence and still could not come to Him.
But what would it look like if we, each Christian healed the sick, took away diseases, and cast out demons in our own neighborhood? We would have heaven on earth and the evil world would be very different right. It would be like Luke 23:43, And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” This may not be specifically talking about the earth, and is talking about heaven and being with Jesus, but what if heaven was a place on earth. It could look like paradise if we all did as Jesus did in our neighbor or at least a better place than we live now, that is for sure.
First main point:
We have the power and the ability to be like Jesus and do what he did.
Second main point:
It takes faith then belief, then confidence and authority.
Third main point:
We need to not worry about doing the whole earth just our neighborhood. Casting out demons and healing the sick and diseases.
Fourth point:
The earth could look like heaven.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. 17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:16-17
