Greater Works For God

John 14:12-17
Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father.
Verse 13-15
And whatever you ask in My name that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
If you love Me, keep My commandments
Verse 16-17
And I will pray the Father and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.
The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him, but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
