Then Jesus reminded me that this was the same with the apostles. First He asked them to first convert other Jews, then only after He resurrected did he ask them to make disciples of all nations.

He then, confirms that I heard him correctly by saying: In that order.

Question: The bible verse you gave (john 14;12) Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, I interpret this as being able to do miracles because of our faith in you.

God’s answer:

Life
Conversion is a miracle. It is the greatest gift of all.

God’s answer:

Lukewarm
They are not firm in their faith.
