He’s not very fond of smugness exercised against His Scriptural standards, priorities and mandates.

If performing greater miracles than those Jesus did as a sign to Israel that He was indeed the Messiah to come spoken of by the prophets is a mandate as claimed above, then why are you NOT doing those miracles and greater???

Matthew 12:28
But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Jesus did those miracles to confirm that He is the Divine One whom the Prophets said would come to Redeem His sheep, and as a sign that the Kingdom of God was then present on earth, in Him.

So, why aren't you doing greater miracles, after all, you have said it's a "mandate".

Sounds like I’ve, by His Grace, managed to travel MUCH further toward that goal than you have.

WHEN you have done more on that score, I MAY entertain such questions more cooperatively.

Perhaps you’ve read about the plank vs splinter Scripture.

But to answer your question anyway—because I’ve not been willing to pay the price for that level of anointing.

And your reason?
