GO XI “Sent to Move”
Luk 10:1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. Luk 10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Luk 10:3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Luk 10:4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. Luk 10:5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ Luk 10:6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. Luk 10:7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. **Luk 10:8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. **Luk 10:9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’**Luk 10:10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, Luk 10:11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ Luk 10:12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.*
God sets up the plan and gets His people to act on it (Peter and Saul)
*Act 13:1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. Act 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Act 13:3 Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.*
Paul’s first missionary Journey
*Act 14:21 When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, Act 14:22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. Act 14:23 And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.*
*Act 14:24 Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. Act 14:25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia, Act 14:26 and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. Act 14:27 And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.*
