Mark 6:6b-13
6b Then Jesus went out from village to village, teaching.
7 And he called his twelve disciples together and sent them out two by two,
with authority to cast out evil spirits.
Up to this point Jesus has been teaching the disciples God’s Word. He has been showing them what faith looks like and how to have faith and how to put their trust in Him. Now it is time for them to put their knowledge of scripture, faith and trust in Christ into practical application. They went out two by two because two are stronger than one. With two you have someone to have your back and someone as a companion with the same goal. There comes a time that you need to step out in faith and trust and apply the Word not only to your own life but to share that faith with others who need to hear it. You may ask “How do I know who I‘m suppose to share with?” The answer is everyone because you don’t know exactly who needs to hear but the Holy Spirit does. So just go and do.
8 He told them to take nothing with them except a walking stick —
no food, no traveler's bag, no money.
9 He told them to wear sandals but not to take even an extra coat.
10 "When you enter each village, be a guest in only one home," he said.
11 "And if a village won't welcome you or listen to you,
shake off its dust from your feet as you leave.
It is a sign that you have abandoned that village to its fate."The best way to learn a second language is “Total Immersion.” Sometimes you just need to go cold turkey and take that first step into faith. No money, no food, no luggage, no extra clothes or shoes and not even a coat. Total and complete trust in Christ and Christ alone.
12 So the disciples went out, telling all they met to turn from their sins.
13 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people,
anointing them with olive oil. (NLT)
So the disciples went out and did what Jesus asked them to do. Have you? Are you? God is glorified when we do what He asks us to do. Therefore go and glorify God your Father.
