Our theme scripture today captures some of the very final words the Lord spoke to His disciples before He ascended into heaven. He was not teaching on specialized gifts based on ministry callings. These are generic characteristics of the believer in Jesus Christ. Take note also that He did not say these signs will follow pastors or evangelists. These are not gifts but signs of the believers in Jesus Christ. These signs are an indication that you are not ordinary. When you look closely at the signs mentioned, they are things which were seen in the life of Jesus. For instance, Jesus casted out demons and healed the sick. Isaiah 53:10 tells us that we are His seed prolonging His days. Jesus was God's seed and we are the produce (John 12:24 TLB). A seed produces after its kind. This means our lives are supernatural just like Jesus'. Your life is a wonder to the world.

We have been given authority to use the name of Jesus in driving out demons and healing the sick. This puts you over and above demons and their works. We are seated together with Christ in heavenly places far above all principalities and powers (Eph 2:6 & Eph 1:20-23 NLT). You are a person of divine authority. Don't live like you are helpless and empty of power. Exercise this power in your world. He also says the believing ones will speak with new tongues or languages. This is not earthly languages which you learn in class. It's also called unknown tongue (1 Corinthians 14:2) because it's unknown to this world. This language is key in your fellowship with God in prayer and for your personal edification (1 Corinthians 14:2).

Your earthly languages are limited to capture the deepest passions of your spirit. He also said if you drink any deadly thing you will not be hurt. This means whatever destructive substance comes inside you is neutralized. In Acts 28:3-6 Paul was bitten by a venomous snake but he was not harmed in any way. The life of God in you destroys what destroys others. These and all other signs mentioned in the opening scripture unequivocally show that as children of God we are not ordinary. Believe this message with all your heart and walk the supernatural life every day.
