Every supernatural work He did during His earthly ministry was done by the power of the anointing. On His own He didn’t have the ability to heal people or do miracles any more than you and I do. (See John 5:19, 14:10.) When He came to earth, He laid aside His divine power as a member of the Godhead. So, while He was here, He didn’t minister as God but as a man baptized with the Holy Spirit and power. That’s why we, as believers, can expect to follow in His footsteps. That’s also why He could say in John 14:12: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do.”
That statement sounds a lot like what Paul said in Ephesians 4, doesn’t it? It was Jesus’ way of saying that all of us, as believers, are to grow up in His Anointing and do His supernatural works.
