Seventy Evangelism Team

2

However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20

3

Jesus appointed seventy people to evangelize others.

4

Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

5

Jesus told them, “Go, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” He said this because He sent them to unbelievers.

6

Jesus said this because many people do not like to accept God.

7

Jesus told them, “Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.” This means that when they evangelize, God will provide everything they need. They need to concentrate on their job, evangelism.

8

Jesus sent them out two by two to in many different places. They were uncertain of the place but they had a bold heart for evangelism.

9

They evangelized people in different places. They believed that God would help them. Did God really help?

10

Wherever they went, all the people gave them warm welcome. They did not prepare anything for them but God provided everything for them.

11

They told the people that the Kingdom of Heaven is near. And many of them decided to believe in God.

12

There were even miracles. When they prayed for the sick, they were healed.

13

Someone brought demon possessed men to the disciples. They shouted with faith in God, “In the name of Jesus, go out from this man.” What would happen to him?

14

Wow! It was a miracle! The demon was driven out from him. “Thank you, thank you.” Many people were amazed.

15

The evangelism team returned to Jesus. They were joyful. They started to talk about what happened to them.

16

“Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” They were so excited to report about the miracles.

17

Jesus told them. “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

18

“However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Being a child of God is the most wonderful miracle of all.

Now, Jesus is sending you out as a witness to the world like the seventy evangelism team. Try to be a witness to someone in your school. A miracles will happen and your friends will turn to God. I encourage you to have this wonderful experience.
