And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
Mark 4.41
When the Son of God presented Himself to the people of Israel, everyone commented on Him, saying that they had never seen anything like what He did. Jesus proclaimed to the people the Good News about the Kingdom of God, healing the sick, setting the oppressed free and giving life to all. When He returned to heaven, Christ commissioned His disciples to go out into the world to proclaim the Gospel He had brought - the work He had done on behalf of humanity (Mark 16:15).
Few people are concerned with acting like Jesus, but many are dedicated to building their own religion. This drives the majority who claim to believe in Him. However, He never said that we should found a church, although it is necessary, because how will everyone learn the Truth if there is no place where it is taught? That may be a good thing, but that order didn't come from Him. The Savior commanded us to preach the Good News as He did.
In the synagogue of Capernaum, Jesus rebuked a demon, commanding him to come out of the man, and he did: But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. (Luke 4.35). Those present looked at each other and said: Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” (Luke 4.36).
This is the Gospel that will lead millions of people to Heaven, because it is pure and blessing. Not to use the same power that frees those possessed by evil spirits is to fail completely. If the lost don't see the difference between God and the devil, they will continue to say that everyone has their own religion. This lie must be unmasked in acts that save those who destroy themselves in sins of all kinds. Jesus set the example for us to do the same (John 13:15).
Those who think they are serving the Lord must compare their deeds with those of the Master. Now, the same works need to be done urgently, so that more people can be saved. Look closely at Jesus' words: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father (John 14.12). Why don't we obey him?
Stay away from those who despise the Lord's guidance. Look at what the Bible says about Christ: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him (Acts 10.38). Many would do better if they learned from the Savior.
There are well-meaning people who preach a portion of the Good News everywhere, but if they “stayed in Jerusalem”, they would do the work completely. Christ said: Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” (Luke 24.49). Without power from On High, nothing can be done (John 15.5).
In Christ, with love,

Today's Prayer
Lord of the harvest! We pray for those who preside over churches and denominations, but do not know how to do Your work as Jesus demonstrated. The time has come to give birth to the same work that He came to inaugurate. We need to go back to the beginning, or we will do nothing for You.
Our goal should not be, first and foremost, the growth of a church, but rather to act like Your Son, in honor and obedience to You. There is nothing better than seeing the lost surrendering themselves to Jesus, the sick being healed, and You receiving all the glory.
In this way, we will see our churches overcrowded, because everyone will want to find You, to be saved and blessed. Instruct us in the path we should follow and guide us with Your eyes. Father, be magnified!
