Treasure Hunting Declaration

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, … they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Kennewick, and in all Richland and Pasco, and even to the remotest part of Finley."

He has committed to us the word of reconciliation, therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ…because as He is, so also are we in this world.

Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.

and our message and our preaching are not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, … for the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.

For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the people by word and deed, in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Kennewick and round about as far as Benton City I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

Now, Lord, … enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
