"Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do." - John 14:13.

This promise is introduced by a declaration that there is nothing but the want of faith to hinder Christ’s disciples from doing works as great as those that Christ himself performed when on the earth; greater works even.

" Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do. Ye shall do those works nominally, but I really. Understand that I do not deprive the earth of any of my power by my departure. I go to sit upon my Father’s throne, that I may do greater works on earth than I have done. The leper that did not find me, when I was on the earth, need not despond; the blind and the lame that are just beginning to hear of me, need not despair, when they hear of my crucifixion; the unclean spirits have no occasion to rejoice, nor the god of this world to exult. The vine is present where its branches are present. I formerly stretched out one hand and blessed one locality, one company; but henceforth, on my Father’s throne seated, I will hear the prayer of faith ascending from a thousand places, and by the hands of my disciples in all those places, I will do mighty works. They ask and I do. The mightiest religions that the world has ever seen, shall thus be overthrown. Pilate, the petty servant of the Emperor of Rome, may give me to an ignominious death; but my pierced hand shall only be clothed with the greater might, and shall bring the Pagan Emperor himself from his throne to my feet. My servants will ask it and I will do it."
