When hearts connect God moves in the miraculous

1 Corinthians 4:15
Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

I’ve been meditating on deliverance and different seasons of my ministry where deliverance has happened frequently and when it has happened infrequently.

Mark 6:7-13
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits. 8These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. 10Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them." 12They went out and preached that people should repent. 13They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.


1. The Calling – Jesus Called the original 12 disciples to himself and gave them instructions as to what they were to do.

2. The Sending – he sent them out ahead of him to go into the villages where he was going to preach.

3. The Administration – 2 x 2

4. The Impartation – Jesus gave the disciples authority to cast out evil spirits. They were deputized with his authority to do his work.

5. The Instructions - "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. 10Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."

6. The Message / Method - Repent / Anointing with oil.


7. The Results – They drove out Demons and healed the sick.

What does this mean for us today?
I’m going to talk to the modern day disciples of Jesus today. The saved and spirit filled people in this room. If you are not saved or spirit filled we will talk to you at the end but for now I want to address the believers in the building.

1. You are called
The Calling – Every believer has a calling to put people back into right relationship with the Father. We’ve all been given the ministry of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:18 (God the Father) reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
Romans 11:29 29for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.

Your calling may not be to vocational ministry but you are called!

2. You have been sent
The Sending –
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.“
City (Cape Girardeau) State, (Missouri) Country, (United States of America) and the entire globe.

3. You need ministry accountability
Matthew 18:19
19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.

Ecclesiastes 4:12
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Proverbs 11:14
14Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

4. You have a spiritual impartation available to you
Matthew 28:17-19
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Receiving an Impartation of God from a Man
2 Kings 3:11
But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD through him?" An officer of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah. "

2 Kings 2:9,15
v9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?" "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied.
v15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, "The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha." And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.

5. The Instructions –
“Travel Light” trusting the Lord to provide for the essentials of life.
1. 1 Timothy 5:18
For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The worker deserves his wages."
Go where you are celebrated not just tolerated.
If people don’t receive your ministry move on.

6a. Your message
Stop sinning
6b. Our Method
Anointing with Oil
James 5:14
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

7. Our Results
We should be casting out demons and being used to heal the sick.
These ministries are for those who want them and will press into his presence to be used in these areas.
Acts 10:34
34Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism

Luke 11:20
But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

Note: 54 our of 65 times the phrase kingdom of God is referring to a present or past kingdom. Only 11 times does it refer to a future coming kingdom.

I pray that if you need to make Jesus the Lord of your life you'll do that now. If you need an infilling of the Holy Spirit I also pray that you'll ask the God that gives generously to those who ask. Maybe you need to be healed, declare the word of the Lord over your situation or maybe you need deliverance from demonic activity. I pray that you get freedom from the spirits that are oppressing you.
