The Great Commision

Today, I read about Jesus telling His disciples, that would be us also, to go and tell all nations about Him.  It goes on to state how they did great things: healed the sick, saved the lost, raised the dead, didn't die from poison, etc.  It even says, we will know we are His by these miracles.

Hmmmm. I believe I am His.  I also think I have never healed the sick, given sight to the blind, or performed any other miracle... other than raising three sons without losing my sanity!  I see there is a disconnect between the scripture and my life.  So, where does that leave me?

Could I, no should I, be healing the sick and the blind, and definitely saving the lost? Does healing still happen today?  Or was it just the disciples?

Well,  at this point you are looking for an answer,  and so am I. In the comments in my reading today,  many people expressed with scripture that we should do what we are lead to do by the Holy Spirit. If we do, we just might do these miracles, or we just might plant a seed, or we might be the one to save a soul. However, we won't do any of that if we don't follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, stay close to God, read scripture, pray, pursue God.

Maybe I should be performing miracles in Jesus' name. Maybe I just don't believe enough? Maybe a don't listen enough? Maybe I don't act upon the Holy Spirit's leading, or act confidently upon it? I want to do that. I am going to do that.
