Prayer Walking - A Preparation for Jesus’ Visitation Luke 10:1-20 SIGNIFICANCE OF SENDING 72 MISSIONARIES - They will have a Divine boldness. • I call this "saturation preparation". • The 36 teams went to do specific preparation for Jesus' visitation to these towns. • Jesus gave them a specific strategy to follow. • They were sent like lambs among the wolves. - They will enjoy Divine protection. • It seemed like madness to do this. - It seems like madness for God to use us! • Take no purse, bag or sandals. - Faith venture, keep money out of it. Strategy #1 - Pray • Jesus even told them what to pray. - They were not to only pray for converts but for converts that will become workers. • Locked-up in our community are many people that are still going to be workers in the harvest fields of God. - Pray for their salvation and release. - Like with Joshua, you must see the fruit of the future. 34 Strategy #2 - Be the agents of peace. • Do not get involved in arguing. Don't waste your time with fruit that is not ready. • "Man of peace" literally means "a man searching for peace and willing to receive it" • This person may be the means whereby you could reach the whole "oikos" (household). Strategy #3 - Identify with your community • Eat and drink what is set before you. Identification. - In many cultures eating and drinking is the sign of your love for them. • Spiritual pride will damage all your efforts. • Do not move around from house to house. - You can fall into the trap of looking for more comfort. Be content. - People must know where to get you. Strategy #4 - Be an agent of healing to your community. • Satan is destroying people. They don't need your judgment.
