Today, we live in times where faith has been on the rise, has become one of the main issues in preaching. And the "show power" is a sign that God is with you. So everyone wants to show it.
Once Jesus passed through Samaria and his disciples, unable to place to land, said to Jesus: "Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven and consume them? But Jesus turned and rebuked them said, Ye know not what spirit you are. "(Luke 9:54-55 NIV)
The disciples James and John were thrilled. After the sequence had cast out demons, healed the sick (vs. 1-6) have participated in the multiplication of the loaves (vs 12-17) and were in that small select group of disciples who witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus (vs 28 to 36) . So, as today, there are many people that have been used by God and witnessed its marvels, and believe they know it all. This is a big mistake! Jesus was ready to give another lesson to those disciples, as, even today, many of his servants answered them: "Ye know not what spirit ye are" (v. 54).
