Mark 16:15-20

King James Version Chapter 16

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 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.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

fruition- pleasurable use or possession it could also be the state of bearing fruit

Obeying the word of God means following his directions

King James Version Chapter 15

Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,

As in obeying the voice of the LORD?

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,

And to hearken than the fat of rams

Many times we don’t want God’s wok to get in the way of our desire's but every time we are in trouble we want God to come see about us

many people are proclaiming God’s time as their own

But Jesus has tried to show us that even his time was not his

Ecclesiastes 3:1–9 KJV 1900

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

so here we are faced with the question will you hear and obey the voice of the lord or just waste your time on stuff

John 8:31 KJV 1900

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

Psalm 81:8 KJV 1900

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

How many of you want Jesus to be a witness for you

Nehemiah 1:9 KJV 1900

But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

Jesus did not just die for you but for the whole world

I need to tell you if you cannot follow his commandments you are none of his

John 14:15 KJV 1900

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 15:10 KJV 1900

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 5:1–2 KJV 1900

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
