In Luke 10 we see Jesus sending the disciples out again. Do you see what He was doing? He was giving them "Basic Training" for what they would all be doing when He rose from the dead and were filled with the Holy Spirit (endued with power from on high - Luke 24:49). They were sent out as novices to practice! We have the perfect training camp in our local church and in our own homes! We should be doing the works of Jesus there first, then within our other circles of influence (work, extended family, neighbors, friends, relatives and acquaintances)! EXPECT the miraculous power of Almighty God to flow through YOU, just as it did through Jesus! In order to have the necessary faith and boldness to do this, we will have to be saturating ourselves in the Word of God concerning these things, for faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17)! THAT is one of the reasons that Jesus, well pleased with her, said THIS about Mary sitting at His feet in order to hear the Word! Luke 10:39-42:
39 And she had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord’s feet and was listening to His teaching. 40 But Martha [overly occupied and too busy] was distracted with much serving; and she came up to Him and said, Lord, is it nothing to You that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me [to lend a hand and do her part along with me]! 41 But the Lord replied to her by saying, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; 42 There is need of only one. Mary has chosen the good portion [that which is to her advantage], which shall not be taken away from her.
Choose YOU the "good portion", the "better thing" and spend time meditating the Word of God until you are so filled with the revelation of the Truth of His Word that you cannot keep yourself from being a DOER of it! Amen! GO! Here is Hillsong United with "Go":
Shalom in Him!
