The church never thrived only by preaching, but preaching of the church was backed by massive display of the Power of Elohim Adonai(Mark 16:20)...The world doesn't only need to hear the gospel preached but also to see mighty signs and wonders and diverse healings that accompany the preaching of the gospel...
Every genuine believer reading my post should be stirred up to labour in spirit to walk in diverse signs and wonders as proof that Jesus truly lives inside him...(1Cor 4:20)
