Freely you have received; freely give.\" (Matthew 10:5-8)\nThen they DID. Not by their own power, by God's power working through them.\nIn week 5 of \"All That I've Commanded You,\" Pastor Zach tackles the command we often skip: miracles, healing, and God's supernatural work TODAY.\nTHE CORE MESSAGE:\nI'm not a cessationist (someone who believes miracles stopped after the early church). Why? I don't see that anywhere in my Bible. People all over the world report miracles TODAY.\nThe Great Commission is self-replicating.

Doctors: \"We don't understand how this is possible.\" Two weeks later: eating lunch with pastors, preaching again.\nSTEVE (Stage 4 Cancer):\nGiven a year to live. Sees Jesus laughing at the end of his bed. Prays: \"Just give me a fighting chance.\" Specialist uses the EXACT same words. 10 years later: cancer-free, alive, following Jesus.
