Go!
Jesus commissions us in Matthew 28:19–20 to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey His commands.
What I have learned over the years through trial and tribulation is that He doesn’t want you to go empty-handed. If it is God doing the sending, He is sending you to be a blessing. This shines on the importance of doing what Jesus said: “Seek the kingdom, and everything will be added to you.”

What is added to you is so you can travel safely. The book of Nehemiah comes to mind one of my favorites. We need the atmosphere of heaven that Jesus has restored, so we can go and be the witnesses we are expected to be when we are sent to be a blessing. Our seeking prepares us for the journey, yet into the wilderness with the good news from Jesus: “I have overcome the world so you can overcome.”
It’s all coming down to my song “Dream No Small Dream,” using what has been placed in my hands for the building of the kingdom here on earth.
People are crying out for help, and God is not ignoring it, but he is having a hard time getting us to do what Jesus said. God is still looking for laborers who are more willing to be prepared than to go.
With Love and Light
