‘Most assuredly, I say to you,
Cause I go to My Father, you who in Me believe,
The things that I did, you, too, shall do.
Even greater works than these, you also shall achieve.’ 1
Good News in our world that’s increasingly a wreck?
In these perilous times, a lot is at stake!
Pause a moment, and in your life do a Fact Check.
See if in your life, this is Good News or Fake.
Many good works He did on His ministry circuit,
Enhancing the lives of those He encountered.
Regarding all our human needs, He touched the gamut!
Our world sure could use His works now …outnumbered!
Not only did He promise we’d do His works and more.
First He showed, then told us exactly how He did them.
Come! Let’s step across the threshold of His
‘workshop door’,
And learn to apply His approach to our world’s mayhem.
Many hours He spent in prayer at night,
Uploading to Father the cares of His world,
Downloading the Father’s power and might,
To overcome devilish deeds at Him hurled.
During the day, He then worked to release,
God’s power that, in prayer, to Him was rallied.
When He needed that power to increase,
He’d pause, wait a moment, and then proceed.2
Across the 4 Gospels, that is what He showed us.
But only in one verse did He reveal His ‘how-to’.
Only in one verse is it clear what He told us.
‘Only what I see Him doing, that is what I do.’ 3
What a seemingly clear modus operandi,
With which we could really change our entire world!
If only we could all learn it, and then apply,
We’d thwart devil’s attacks that at man are hurled.
Prayer, first like discharging a battery.
(Uploading cares…)
Prayer, then like a full power charge in the night.
(Downloading might!)
Here is what you get using His strategy:
Power, stored for your release …in tomorrow’s fight!
And in that fight, you will never be alone.
Walking in His Spirit, this is what you will perceive:
Previews of scenes on earth, sent from Heaven’s Throne,
Into which you should step, His power from you to leave.
To you does this all sound strange, even taboo??
You, releasing God’s Love power and might
into scenes foreseen??
What you ‘see’ Him doing, that is what you do?!?
Our world needs you, Christ-believer, to live
…per ‘J-519’.

1 ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.’ (John 14:12)
2 For example, writing on the ground, pausing to pray, asking questions, etc.)
3 Then Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees The Father do; for whatever He does, The Son also does in like manner.’ (John 5:19, or poetically, J-519)
