Jesus imparted the ability into His followers to heal the sick and cast out devils. This occurred before the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. How much more now do you suppose Jesus imparts His authority in His followers? He gives His followers power so that they can bring an abundant life to those they come in contact with.
Jesus gave them instructions concerning their journey. They were to receive the provision given to them wherever they went. Their responsibility was to give the message of love to the people. Anyone who did not receive them they were just to wipe the dust off their clothing from that town. Anyone who confessed Jesus at the Son of God, Jesus said He would confess before Father.
Jesus told these men that who ever received them, listen to them and believed it would be the same as that person receiving Jesus Himself. Today ministers that Jesus sends have the same authority. When a person understands that the minister is a representative of Jesus the person can get more out of the preached or taught Word of God, they can get more out of their prayer and they can get more out of showing them respect.
