Matthew 10: 1-7
Jesus summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the Twelve Apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus.
Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, "Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'"
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for the third birthday of Mahkenzie Booker.
I'm sure you've seen those emails that are passed around the internet that refer to telling someone how much you care for them today before it's too late.
God wants to start a similar email:
==
Subject: The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
From: God
To: My Beloved
Dear beautiful, beloved child,
My Son cried out to you,
proclaiming the Kingdom is here,
but the message fell on ears
that were not willing to hear.
So people went on living
and they thought life would go on
but what will happen in the end
when they find The Kingdom is gone?
For many will turn their faces
at the sound of this proclamation
choosing mere petty lies
over this merciful invitation.
Please go out and tell the world
of My Love and My Mercy,
and remind them that I AM just
so do not ignore my plea.
Love,
God.
==
Take care and God Bless.
