Jesus sends forth his disciples to preach the kingdom of God(ALHY), but he also gave them power and authority over all demons, to cure diseases and to heal the sick. This is truly wonderful and amazing. To assure that the disciples were not giving people the wrong impression, they were not to bring anything with them on their journey. No staff, no bag, no bread, no money and no coats. So they did as they were instructed, but they were still spiritually young. They still had much to learn and understand about the kingdom of God. There is only so much you can learn from listening and reading; you also learn from doing. We need to try and not to be fearful. Unfortunately, we will make mistakes, but we shall learn from them. Our Father, please guide us in our journey as we travel to those who we meet, that we may also spread the message of your word, your way and your kingdom. Perhaps we are, or are not, able to have power over demons, to cure diseases or heal the sick; but if we shall, then please enlighten us, make us aware and may we understand how we can help. Thank you Father... please send forth laborers into your harvest and equip us with what we need to glorify your name. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen and Shalom
