Isaiah 43:10-13 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chose , so that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He, “Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me, I, even I, am the LORD, and there is no savior besides Me. “It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses” declares the LORD, “And I am God. “Even from eternity I am He, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?” Oh mighty God, we come together as the body of Christ-Your remnant-in agreement that You are Almighty and All-powerful. Move in the hearts of the lost in every nation. Build up those who are persecuted for Your namesake. Give them courage and strength to hold on to the hem of Your garment. May they be like a ring on Your finger-along for the ride. May they be so in tune with what the Spirit has to say. In Jesus’s name, Amen. 🙂 ❤️
Matthew 9:35-38 #TPT
Jesus walked throughout the region with the joyful message of God’s kingdom realm. He taught in their meeting houses, and wherever he went he demonstrated God’s power by healing every kind of disease and illness.
When he saw the vast crowds of people, Jesus’ heart was deeply moved with compassion, because they seemed weary and helpless, like wandering sheep without a shepherd.
He turned to his disciples and said, “The harvest is huge and ripe! But there are not enough harvesters to bring it all in.
As you go, plead with the Owner of the Harvest to thrust out many more reapers to harvest his grain!”

Matthew 9:10-13 #TPT
Jesus went to Matthew’s house and made himself at home. Many other tax collectors and outcasts of society were invited to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
When those known as the Pharisees saw what was happening, they were indignant, and they kept asking Jesus’ disciples, “Why would your Master dine with such lowlifes?”
When Jesus overheard this, he spoke up and said, “Healthy people don’t need to see a doctor, but the sick will go for treatment.”
Then he added, “Now you should go and study the meaning of the verse: I want you to show mercy, not just offer me a sacrifice. For I have come to invite the outcasts of society and sinners, not those who think they are already on the right path.”

1 Peter 3:8-12 #TPT
Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly love one another.
Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them —because a blessing is what God promised to give you.
For the Scriptures tell us: Whoever wants to embrace true life and find beauty in each day
must stop speaking evil, hurtful words and never deceive in what they say. Always turn from what is wrong and cultivate what is good; eagerly pursue peace in every relationship, making it your prize.
For the eyes of the Lord Yahweh rest upon the godly, and his heart responds to their prayers. But he turns his back on those who practice evil.
