Category Five: Faith and Future Promises
Twenty-three declarations covering the authority of faith, the rewards of sacrifice, the power of prayer, and the promises made to disciples who follow radically. John 14:12 — sealed with the double Amen — is the most expansive promise in this category: “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things.” This is not encouragement. It is a sealed decree delegating the works of the Kingdom to every believing disciple until the King returns.
