Jesus has promised that those who believe in Him would do greater works than what he did (Jn. 14:12-13). Since Jesus is going to the Father, whatever is asked in His name would be done, so that the Father may be glorified in the son (VV. 12-14). It is said that during Jesus' time, the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name" (Lk. 10:17). Jesus has promised his presence with the disciples till the end of the age (Mt. 28:20).
Mark says that those who believe in Jesus will not be hurt by serpents, or killed by deadly poison; Further, the sick on whom they lay their hands will be recovered, they will cast out demons and will speak with new tongues (Mk. 16: 17-18). Even after ascension, the Lord was working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs (VV. 19-20).
The Lord continues his work even today. Repent and let everyone of you be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Jn.2:38). This promise is relevant to you those who are near, and those who are far off, as the Lord of our God will call (Acts 1 :35). Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8). He continues his miracles even at present.
