Mark 16:17-20

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 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." 19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

God knows man's defect and helps man with His almighty power.

God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to this world. He let us know the devil's work which make us commit sin to take us to hell by the wages of sin and forgave us our sin and saved us from death, which is the wages of sin. it is done by God's all knowing and all powerful work.(1 John 3:8, Hebrew 2:14-15) Jesus Christ came in flesh to this world to pay the wages of our sin and to bare any unhappiness both our body and soul. He hung on a tree to redeem us. (Galatians 3:13)

Jesus came to the world and raised the dead, drove out demons, healed leprosy, gave the sight to the blind, healed the dumb and destroyed all the physical and spiritual barriers so that the Lord made people to be happy and free. It is how much the Lord loved people to make them experience the absolute love of the Lord. Man cannot know and overcome the devil, Satan and demons work accompanied with sin and suffering. They are cruel and awful beings. (Luke 10-13; Matthew12:22; Mark 9:21-27; John 5:2-8, 5:14; Mark 2:3-12; Luke 13:1-5). The devil caused people to commit sin so that man should be cursed both body and soul. When we die, we will suffer pain which cannot be compared to physical pain, and cannot be imagined by our knowledge. (Revelation 20:10, 20:13-15; Mark 9:48-49).

However people do not know the spiritual reality which their souls should suffer. So they don't believe however they hear the Bible. However they are told by pastors, they don't want to believe. Though they are told that the reason for all their sufferings is from sin caused by the devil's work, they don't acknowledge it.

However they are told to repent of their sin, and that they have sin, they don't try to repent of their sin. However they are told to live according to the word to live by the life in it, they don't acknowledge the life in the word.

Dear brothers and sisters, all your sufferings are from the devil and sin. Get out of your sin by repentance. Get out of the power of the devil who holds the power of death by repentance. So let us be protected in the blood of Jesus Christ, in the word and in the Holy Spirit forever and be free. Let us give testimony that we are freed from sin and suffering.

Today's scripture, Mark chapter 16:19-20 is the inheritance and task to those who believe in Jesus who are saved by His blood. We have known that curses and sufferings are from sin and the devil's work. So let's nullify sin by repentance with the blood of Jesus and cast out evil's spirit in the power of the name of Jesus and be free.
