Part 2- 72 Disciples

John Wycliffe- The highest service that men may attain to on earth is to preach the word of God.

Luke 10:1 (ESV) 1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.

Penned Truth: You don’t need to be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, or teacher; you don’t have to have a formal ministry title to share the gospel of good news.

Mother Theresa often said: God has not called us to be successful, but to be faithful.

Luke 10:2-3 (ESV) 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

            •           THE HARVEST IS NOW!

            •           THE HARVEST IS RIPE!

            •           PRAY FOR THE HARVEST!

Pray For Laborers To Have Compassion

Matthew 9:36–38 (ESV) 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

Pray For Laborers To Have Opportunities

Romans 10:14–15 (ESV) 14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

Pray For Laborers To Have Boldness

Ephesians 6:18–20 (ESV) 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Warren Wiersbe- When we pray as He commanded, we will see what He saw, feel what He felt, and do what He did.

Penned Thought: Can we sincerely pray for the harvest if we are unwilling to work in the harvest?

John 4:35 (ESV) 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.

Penned Truth: The Church must understand that most of the world cannot be reached unless Christians go into the fields and do cross-culture evangelism.
