Get Involved

 Mark 6:6 (KJV) And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

It’s easy to follow and watch and be amazed but one can never learn until they do it themselves , make their mistakes. A person in training needs to do more than run back and forth to the toolbox getting screwdrivers. They must get involved! Jesus is about to send these disciples out 2 by 2. He will give them instructions and what they need to do what He had taught them to do. Are they are Ready? 

Mark 6:7 (KJV) And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

Mark 6:8 (KJV)  And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 

Mark 6:9 (KJV) But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

Mark 6:10 (KJV) And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 

Mark 6:11 (KJV) And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Notice what they were doing.

Mark 6:12 (KJV) And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

That men should do what? Do the best they could? Give more money to the  synagogue! No! REPENT! Webster say that REPENT is to express sorrow for something past.  To change the mind in consequence of the inconvenience or injury done by past conduct.

Repentance is a change of mind, or a conversion from sin to God

2 Corinthians 7:10 (KJV) For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

2 Corinthians 7:1 (KJV) (KJV) Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

These disciples went out and Preached Repentance.

Then they Helped  

Mark 6:13 (KJV) And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

These disciples preached, this is how you can go to Heaven, Repent. But if you don’t repent we are still going to help you. That is what the Churches and Christian people are doing today. Many Churches open their doors to help those in need. They fed, give medical help, legal help, clothes and on and on Never requiring anyone to repent. Why would anyone do this? “the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?Romans 2:4 (KJV)

One can lead another to water but can never make one to drink.
