Gods Kingdom is Here
Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
All of Israel was lost, in need of a shepherd at this time. But I wonder, how many realized they were lost? How many had given up on expectation of the Messiah. You know, about like the climate now. Its been years since the early church spoke of the end times, Jesus' soon coming! Many, because of our faithlessness, not Gods, have never heard the voice of God. Many just assume, GOD IS DEAD!
What amazingly fresh joy filled mission to be sent out by Jesus declaring the kingdom of God is now here! To heal the many sick with incurable diseases, to cleanse lepers, a death sentence by the way, even raise the dead! To cast out demons, if they even believed in demons or had any hope they could be free of them? Jesus told His disciples, freely you received of Him, freely give! Do your mission in the love of Christ! Jesus is the King of this kingdom and we are to showcase His amazing heart. And finally, Jesus saw them as lost sheep. He is the Good Shepherd! I remember how Jesus went out and found me! Im thankful unto this day, I am found. He did for me what I could never do myself. Freely and abundantly, He changed my life by His Spirit. I'm to freely and abundantly proclaim Him to a world as lost as I once was! LORD, I am Your Dulos, servant by choice!

Amen. Servants by choice because of His great love for us in sending Jesus to free us from our bondage. Free to live in the glory of His love and powerful presence in our lives. What an irresistible privilege. To touch others with His love and healing power is the most wonderful privilege in this life.
