6 Rediscovering the Ministry of Jesus
Its only when thousands of ministers are praying for the sick that people will begin to regard the healing ministry as ordinary. Only then will the healer be regarded neither as an object of scorn, nor as a subject for worship. Francis McNutt ‘Power to Heal’

7 Rediscovering the Ministry of Jesus
Mark 3: Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve -- designating them apostles -- that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.

8 Rediscovering the Ministry of Jesus
Luke 9:1-2 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

9 Rediscovering the Ministry of Jesus
Luke 10:1, 9 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.'

10 Rediscovering the Ministry of Jesus
Matthew 28:18-20 "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

11 Power and Authority Authority = the right Mark 1.27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching--and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey him."

12 Power and Authority Mark "By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you authority to do this?”

13 Power and Authority Power = the ability Luke 4.14
Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit Luke 5.17 And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal the sick.

14 Power and Authority Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners , and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour."

15 Power and Authority Jesus gave both to his disciples Authority Mark 6.7 Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.

16 Power and Authority Genesis 1.26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

17 Power and Authority Psalm 115:16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man.

18 Power and Authority John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

19 Power and Authority Power Acts 1.8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.".
