The World Needs Healing - Disciple Makers Series #10

DAY 5 OF 6

The Harvest is Plentiful but the Laborers are Few

This is the beginning of a passage where Jesus sends His disciples out into the towns and villages.  

It starts with Jesus showing them how He ministered in the towns and villages – healing and preaching.

Jesus challenges them to see what a big harvest there is out there – but they cannot do it themselves.  They must pray.

Harvest time does not start with work, it starts with prayer.  It asks God to release people in every place to start sharing His good news.  That needs to be our prayer first as well.  Start with prayer.  Ask God to open hearts around you to hear.  Ask God to show you who these people are – and how to share the Good News with them.

Time to Pray

Father, we start with wanting to do rather than wanting to pray.  Why is that so hard for us?  I know that I need to pray more for people to hear.  You are speaking to the people of my community and I pray that they will have ears to hear and a heart to listen and obey.  I pray that I will have eyes to see those who want to hear Your Good News.  Then give me a boldness to share.  In Jesus’ name I pray Amen.
