The World Needs Healing - Disciple Makers Series #10Sample
Jesus Sends Out the Disciples
Jesus sent his followers out several times – this time it was only to people in Jewish villages. Jesus sent them to people just like them; this is the easiest group of people to share with.
They show us how to reach out to our own people. Here it is:
-- release the truths of God’s kingdom to everyone
-- pray for everyone with needs – big needs or small needs
-- do it free of charge
-- they will help you and provide for your needs along the way (note: - the Jewish people knew that this was expected of them)
This requires that we know God’s kingdom truths, that we have God’s power available to us and we have the boldness to share both with others. Knowing God’s kingdom truth takes work – I have been sharing them with you, but you need to know them well. God’s power is available to all His children, but it requires an obedient heart before God entrusts it to us. So be diligent to know Kingdom truth, be obedient to this truth, expect God to release His power to bless others – and then use them boldly.
This is how to reach out to your world.
Time to Pray
Father, I know now why it is so hard to reach out boldly. I need to learn Your truths and walk in obedience. That takes so much diligent work. However, it is such a challenge for many of us because we are careless at studying and careless at obedience. Forgive us. Give us a heart that seeks simple obedience to truth that You reveal to us. Your truths are not complicated, but they do take diligence. Your truths are not a long list of things to learn, but they do take effort. So strengthen us today to walk in them – so we can release blessing on our world. In Jesus’ name I pray Amen.

Scripture
About this Plan
Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers. This is the tenth of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew. Jesus shows His disciples how to reach out to a broken world – their world. Then He sends them out to touch it with the Kingdom truths they have learned.
