Radically Passionate!

Luke Chapter 9 1-9 is Awesome check it out!! “When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them.” So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere. So when Jesus told them to go they went, with NOTHING but the truth he gave them and PASSION to reach out! They done the very thing Jesus told them to do and lives were forever changed! Some times Jesus may tell you to go and it might not make sense to you but from my experience with this every time we go he works and moves in a mighty way! We live for his purpose and not our own! We should wake up every morning ready to go to battle! I heard my best friend say something one time and it rocked my world! He said I’m going to not only be a willing vessel that vessel will be a BATTLESHIP! Wow! Folks if you’re a believer in Jesus Christ (John 14:6) you to are in a battle! Your ammo (Jesus) never runs out, Jesus is the author of the book and he knows how it turns out! Wow that rhymed! So in these verses we see sold out believers taking nothing with them and they went out and spoke the gospel to all cities everywhere! I’m sure they were not welcome everywhere they went and they had critics and jealous people on their case all the time! Sound familiar if you’re a Pastor or just a Sold Out Believer you can relate! We must never listen to people we know don’t love us! Love does not ENVY! We must never let criticism control our thoughts! If you do what God tells you to do that’s all that matters! Remember you will not stand before a committee or your critics, YOU WILL STAND AND ANSWER TO GOD ALONE! SO BE RADICAL!!!!!I Love everyone, yes even the critics remember they will one day stand before God as well! I’m out Jason!
