Please click this link to read Mark 16:
Many Christians do not believe they have those signs in their lives after they believed and even they believe they don't care whether they can exercise those signs.

"And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."...Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. Mark 16: 17-18, 20
You know what does it means by drive out demons, speak in tongues and lay hands on sick people bring healing. But, what about pick up snakes with their hands and will not hurt even they drink deadly poison? It's not just talking about what Paul was going to experience in Acts 28: 5 but to assure that in the course of fulfilling the Great Mission we will be protected even in severe danger.
Actually there are certain kinds of "snakes" in the form of those people who like to say negative things, spreading rumors, plotting plans to remove you and all kinds of poisoning schemes. God assures you that you will be fine facing all those kind of "challenges"! I have faced with many of this kind of poisoning attack in the past ten years in almost all 360 degrees but you can see that I am well and faithfully doing His Kingdom work. So, move forward and follow Him. Everything will be well!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to examine our gifts we've got and dare to exercise those gifts so that people know that you are working with us confirmed by the signs that accompanied us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.Please click this link to worship with us - Day of Elijah
