Don’t be scared of the Word of God, that is very much for today. Jesus is telling the disciples that it is time to spread out and go village to village. Go two by two which is a rule to live by today. In the world which we live today it makes a lot of sense to not do God’s work alone. We need to have a witnessing partner to pray for us, for safety, for help, and to watch our back. Don’t worry about taking a lot of tools or stuff with you. We are to depend on God to help us and to guide us not stuff. Just go and plan on God providing for your needs. Then in verse eleven we are told to be respectful and gracious as we go. When someone is meeting your needs don’t be looking for something better, or shopping for a better offer. This next point is very important for you, people are responsible for their choice to receive the message, we are to carry the message of our faith in Christ and what He has done for us. They must decide to follow Christ or not, we give the message and then it is out of our hands. We are to go! That is what God wants us to do. Check out what Paul says in 1 Cor. 2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
That is what we need to do and the way we need to do it. Today pray for God to give you a gospel partner and that God will lead you to that person who you need to share the gospel with.
