If you are not having these signs as JESUS said then, you are the ‘so called’ believer who lives a mixed life. Mark 16:14-19(ESV) A mixer of ,
1. Old and New Testaments: Jesus made a New Covenant in His Blood. We should not expect bad things because in New covenant there is only good. We are not choosing the ‘Tree of knowledge’ to know good and evil. But ‘Tree of Life’ that is Jesus. No one is good other than God. God has only ‘good’ in Him to give to you. Anything ‘evil’ is from the devil.
2. Law and Grace: Jesus fulfilled the ‘Law’ for us and given us ‘Grace’. So if you are under grace, sin will not have dominion over you. No sin, no death or death connected things like diseases and failures. If you try to keep the ‘law’ you are fallen from ‘grace’.
3. Fear and Faith: Faith is the only way we can receive anything from God. From salvation to any small requirement of worldly things. God needs ‘faith’ to bless you. But ‘fear’ is the foothold for the devil to harm you.
4. Curse and Blessing: Jesus became ‘curse’ on the Cross so that He can leave ‘blessings’ to you. The Divine Exchange took place on the Cross. So no more curses for us. So don’t expect ‘curse’ to happen.
5. Self righteousness and gift of righteousness: Self righteousness is the mother of all sins happening in the Body of Christ. God sent Jesus as a ‘Gift of our Righteousness’. We become righteous by receiving Him by ‘Grace’ and not by ‘works’ so that no one can boast.
6. Work and rest: Many are trying to work hard for their life, instead of resting in the Finished work of Jesus on the Cross. If you ‘work’ in your mind all the time worrying; God will wait not able to help you. If you ‘rest’ in your mind after doing what you got to do; God can work and arrange everything perfectly for you.
7. Money and God: JESUS said you cannot serve 2 masters- Money and God. Many are trying to please both the masters and fail miserably. You have to choose one. But if you choose ‘God’ and His righteousness, ‘money’ will be added to you also; because your Heavenly Father knows that you need it.
Save the Soul from reasoning, fear, worry, doubt:
JESUS was saying ‘Oh, you of little faith – why do you reason, why do you doubt, why do you worry and why do you fear?’ in many occasions!
Do not reason: “But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?” Matthew 16:8 NKJV
Do not doubt: “And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?””Matthew 14:31 NKJV
Do not worry: ““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Matthew 6:25,30 NKJV
Do not fear: “But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.” Matthew 8:26 NKJV
Soul contains your thoughts, emotions, will, decision making from your heart and mind. So it is your job to keep your soul at peace. Then you can definitely avoid many body ailments. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”III John 1:2 NKJV
Faith walk is very important. So start with mustard seed faith and increase your faith by ‘speaking to your problems ‘ as JESUS explained to His disciples. Luke 17:5-6(ESV)
Get the ‘great faith’ JESUS talked about in Luke 7:1-10(ESV) and in Matthew 15:21-28(ESV) Glory to God!
