Entering the most dangerous place- the world! Luke 22:33-38

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
  In the 22nd Chapter of Luke, Peter tells Jesus he is with him all the way.  Then Jesus told Peter he would deny knowing Jesus 3 times before the cock crowed.  As we read on in the scriptures, in verse 35 Jesus tells the disciples "When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler's bag, or extra clothing, did you need anything?"  The disciples response was no!
   Then in verse 36 Jesus says, "But now, take your money and a traveler's bag.  And if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one! For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: 'He was counted among the rebels.' Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true."
   Look at Isaiah 53:11-12.
     Jesus reversed his earlier advice about how they were to travel (C9v3).  The disciples were to bring bags, money, and swords.  They would be facing hatred and persecution and would need to be prepared.  When Jesus said, "That's enough," he may have meant it was not time to think of using swords.  The mention of swords communicated the trials they would soon face.
   You face these trials today, as did the disciples.  Your "sword" needs to be the Bible, the Good News of Jesus Christ.  Pray before you go into battle, during battle, and after the battle.  Yes, when you woke today you engaged in a battle.  The spiritual warfare above your head is tremendous; the warfare you will have as you gander into the world today will be furious and you must stand strong in the Spirit, in the Word, and most of all in Jesus!
   Be slow to anger, quick to think, and slow to speak.  Let the Spirit guide the words that jet forth from your oral cavity we refer to as a mouth.  As the old saying goes, let you brain be loaded before you shoot off your mouth.  Be a good listener, don't be thinking about your reply, but about what they are saying.  The world does not like you, let Jesus be the tread you travel within.  Take time to think about who you are, where you are, and what you are doing today!  Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
