“And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.”‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus “gave them” the power over demons and to cure diseases and only to the twelve. There were many people who followed Jesus at this point for what He could do for them, but Jesus empowered these twelve to “proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal”. Jesus has all power and unless He “builds the house, the laborers labor in vain”. Please pray that we and our friends spend time with Jesus today and learn His purpose for our lives today. He will empower you to do exactly what He wants you to do. Please pray for Chris and Ryan’s group.
