When Jesus called together his twelve apostles he gave them authority over all demons—power to cast them out—and to heal all diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And they departed, and went through the towns, preached the gospel, and healed every where they went. These were his instructions to them: "Plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out more laborers to help you, for the harvest is so plentiful and the workers so few. Jesus said to Heal the sick; and as you heal them, say, ’The Kingdom of God is very near you now.’ And Jesus said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; But those who refuse to believe will be condemned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.

We are to be disciples of Jesus that preach the full gospel, the gospel that Peter preached when the first church was born. The demonstration of the power of GOD. Paul states "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. Everytime the disciples preached, GOD confirmed His Word with signs following.
