After healing the man with the withered hand, He tried to find a place of peace.  A place of prayer, meditation,  a time of communion with the Father.

He had a problem: “A great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.”

Saints, I know, and understand, I am a broken record, but, our Churches today should be full, because:

“A great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.”

We should be seeking God and asking why we do not see His power in our lives.

In this post we find Jesus sending out the 12.  He didn’t say, go talk people into the Kingdom.

No, He sent them to show everyone, that, The Kingdom of God is at Hand.”  He gave them Power, He promised us Power.

He wants us to know Him and to accomplish His will.

“For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.”

Notice, they pressed in to touch Him.  Folks, that is what we need to do.  We must learn how to touch Jesus. “

You will tell me you pray, you read His Word, you even believe…  What more can I do?

Well what do you believe?

In Salvation for sure.  Maybe in healing?  Raising the dead?  Am I  nuts?

Yet, these are all things Jesus did, and told us, only believe, and these things I do and more shall you do.

Yet, we see very little Power.  Ahhh, here is your loophole,  He only ordained 12.

“He ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:”

Tell me something, why do you think He only choose 12?  Was there something special about these men?

NO, THEY WERE REGULAR GUYS, HARD WORKING,  MEN.  WHO WHEN CALLED, LEFT ALL TO FOLLOW HIM.

That is what made them Special, why He chose them, gave them His Power, sent them to Preach, Teach, Heal, and bring The Kingdom of God, to those without.

Have you left all to Follow Him?  Or are you one of the multitude, hoping to gain favor.

CHOOSE YE THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE,  As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 

Whosoever will, the choice is yours.

Mark 3:7-15
“But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.   And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,   And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:“

Matthew 12:15-16,  10:1
“But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;  And charged them that they should not make him known:”

“And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.”

Luke 6:12-13
“And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;”
