1 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.
5 But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.
7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
10 But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 ‘The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’

Four Things that Jesus Declared
++The Harvest is Great
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
What was it that made the harvest so great?
What was it that made the harvest so great?
This Harvest is not yours.
This Harvest is not yours.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
The Harvest is not yours
++It is a physical principle
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
The Principle includes
++Seed time
++Harvest
++The Harvest is dependent on the seed
++Your harvest is connected to your seed
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
The Harvest is not yours.
It is a physical principle
++A physical law
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
The Harvest is not yours.
It is a physical principle
A physical law
++The blessing of God
And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not… Joshua 24:13.
Four Things that Jesus Declared
The Harvest is Great
++We are inadequate for the task
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
We must
++Recognize that it is God’s work
++Realize our weakness
++Request for God’s Help
Four Things that Jesus Declared
The Harvest is Great
We are inadequate for the task
++Not everybody will receive what you have
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Four Things that Jesus Declared
The Harvest is Great
We are inadequate for the task
Not everybody will receive what you have
++Don’t take it personal
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
Just Go
Just Go
Thy Kingdom Come
++Blessing & Miracles
++Warning and a Curse
++Because of a reception
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
