VERSION OF MATTHEW 10:10 TPT AS SAID IN THE SCRIPTURE, "TRAVEL LIGHT AND DON'T EVEN PACK AN EXTRA CHANGE OF CLOTHES IN YOUR BACKPACK." INSTEAD, PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD, AS HE WILL PROVIDE FOR THOSE WHO WORK FOR HIM.
THE DIRECTIONS JESUS GAVE HIS DISCIPLES TO GO OUT AND TEACH, HEAL, AND DELIVER INTO THE WORLD. SINCE THEY WERE OFF ON GOD'S, NOT MAN'S, BUSINESS, THEY WERE ONLY ALLOWED TO BRING THE NECESSITIES WITH THEM. HOWEVER, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO SERVE HUMANITY BY INSTRUCTING THEM ON HOW TO ENTER THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM.
CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD ON THEIR BACKS WOULD ONLY HINDER THEIR ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE THE WEIGHT WOULD EXHAUST THEM AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO FOCUS ON THEIR MISSION. WHEN OUT ON GOD'S WORK, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO RELY ON GOD TO PROVIDE FOR THEM.
IN A SIMILAR VEIN, BELIEVERS HAVE A MISSION TO FULFILL—THAT IS, THEIR CALLING. KEEP IN MIND THAT ALTHOUGH WE ARE ALL HUMAN AND PLAGUED WITH DIFFICULTIES, WE ARE ALSO CALLED TO CARRY OUT GOD'S WORK—NOT TO POUT ABOUT OUR CIRCUMSTANCES WHILE WE ARE OUT IN THE FIELD. SEEING ANOTHER PERSON'S SUFFERING WILL EASE OUR OWN SORROWS, BUT WATCH WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BACKPACK. ARE YOU TELLING THE PERISHING SOULS OUT THERE WHAT YOU CARRY WITHIN YOU, OR ARE YOU TELLING THEM WHAT GOD IS SAYING?
GOD IS TELLING YOU TO GO LIGHTHEARTEDLY AND NOT TO BRING YOUR TROUBLES WITH YOU, AS WHILE YOU ARE WORKING ON HIS PROJECT, HE WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR TASKS. TRAVEL LIGHT AND CONCENTRATE SO THAT YOU DON'T GET ATTACKED BY THE ENEMY AND RETURN WITH MORE THAN YOU BROUGHT.
I HAD TAKEN MY SPOUSE FOR HIS ROUTINE EYE EXAMINATION; WHILE I WAS SITTING OUTSIDE WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OUT OF THE EXAMINATION ROOM, I HAD A STRANGE FEELING THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT FOR HIM IN THERE. IT WAS THEN THAT I GOT A MESSAGE ASKING ME TO PRAY FOR SOMEONE; I WASN'T SURE IF I SHOULD PRAY FOR MY SPOUSE OR THE PERSON WHO WAS IN NEED OF HEALING AT THAT CRUCIAL MOMENT. WITH A HEAVY HEART, I TOLD GOD, "I AM PRAYING FOR THIS PERSON." I GIVE IN TO YOUR HANDS, MY HUSBAND. AS TIME PASSED, HE CAME OUT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STAFF. THE FOLLOWING DAY, IN THE EVENING, HE STARTED CRYING OUT WITH SEVERE BURNING SENSATION IN BOTH OF HIS EYES. I HURRIED HIM TO THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT LOSING ANY TIME; THEY SAID IT WAS AN INFECTION AND GAVE HIM SOME EYE DROPS. BY THE FOLLOWING DAY, HE HAD IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY, BUT I STILL FELT THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE WRONG, BUT GOD HAD TAKEN CARE OF IT, AND IT WAS CONFIRMED AS THE FOLLOWING DAY, DURING OUR CONVERSATION IN THE EVENING, HE MENTIONED THAT HE HAD NUMBNESS IN HIS LIPS AND MOUTH, WHICH HE HAD NOT MENTIONED TO EITHER THE DOCTOR OR ME. PRAISE GOD, I HAD ONLY CARRIED THE NECESSITIES WITH ME, AND THAT WAS MY FAITH.
PRAYER: FATHER, MAY YOU TAKE CARE OF OUR WORK AS WE DO YOURS, MAY WE BE FILLED WITH YOUR WORD TO HEAL AND DELIVER, MAY WE BE FILLED WITH YOUR WORD TO SUPPORT US IN OUR HOUR OF NEED. WE PRAY IN JESUS NAME!!! AMEN AMEN & AMEN!
