7 He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff: no bread, no bag, no money in their belts, 9 but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. 10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. 11 If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” 12 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. 13 They cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
Prayer Focus: Several chapters ago we saw how Jesus called twelve to be disciples. He gave them power to preach and to heal. Now here in chapter 6, Jesus sends the disciples out in pairs. But they are not to take anything with them. They are not to try to improve their accommodations if they are offered hospitality in a town. They are only to remain in places receptive to the message. Do you have that kind of trust that God will provide what you need to accomplish the ministry entrusted to you? Pray for that kind of faith today.
