It appears clear that we are now in the very Last Days before the end comes. And the Church must first fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations and people groups. But as many as 7,000 people groups must be reached with the gospel during the short time which remains before the end.
How can this be accomplished?
New Testament Scripture teaches that supernatural authority is not affected by distance. In Luke 7 Jesus healed the servant of the centurion simply by “saying the word”, that is, by issuing an authoritative command at a distance.
Supernatural authority is also not affected by number. An army general with authority over 10,000 solders issues but a single command, and all 10,000 of his men immediately obey his command.
Therefore, authority is not affected by either distance or by number. Our focus is on supernatural authority over diseases and demons in the context of proclaiming the kingdom of God to those who never heard of Jesus Christ—supernatural authority which Jesus Christ has given to His disciples.
Luke 9.1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Years ago, a pastor in India whom we trained in the use of supernatural authority proclaimed the kingdom of God to a crowd of two million people in the state of Andra Pradesh. Approximately one million people raised their hands to accept Jesus Christ as a result of his preaching. After that the pastor ministered supernatural healing to the huge crowd using authority in the wondrous name of our Messiah Jesus. Afterwards, up to a half million people raised their hands to indicate that they had been miraculously healed from their infirmities and set free.
Servants of God and missionaries in the Third World where the great majority of Unreached People Groups live can be trained in the use of the Lord’s supernatural authority over disease and demons to help fulfill the Great Commission during these very Last Days. As an example of this…
Using technology like mobile phones or platforms like zoom, we first minister actual supernatural healing to large numbers of viewers/listeners as irrefutable evidence of the absolute Truth of the gospel. Only after that will the gospel be proclaimed to the viewers: Jesus is the promised Messiah and the only way to the One True God who created the universe, our Father in heaven. This approach is in accordance with Jesus’ command in Luke 10:9.
Luke 10:9 Heal the sick who are there…
and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
Our calling from the Lord is to train servants of God, missionaries, and harvest workers to minister with such wondrous supernatural authority for the Great Commission to be fulfilled during these very Last Days when the remaining time is very short.
During these very Last Days, the Lord is fulfilling the second part of His wondrous promise to His disciples in John 14:12…

Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing,
and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
