GO YE

Have you considered how many times Jesus tells Believers to GO YE? We do not have to ask anyone if this is the will of God. Jesus already said it is. If you are a Believer, this commission is to you.

GO YE and tell someone about Jesus and the plan of salvation for their soul. As Jesus chose the disciples, He said they had been fishing for fish, but they were going to become fishers of men. This is still the God given mission for followers of Jesus Christ today. Please consider the following scriptures.

Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Mark 16:15-20 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and into the uttermost part of the earth.

Luke 24:45-49 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

Jesus told the disciples to tarry at Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high (the Holy Ghost and Fire). They obediently 'tarried' 10 days in the Upper room. Then they were filled with the Holy Ghost! Immediately they went to work obeying the Great Commission. Three thousand (3000) souls were added to the church (saved) the first day. They continued obeying the Great Commission every day, going house to house, preaching the gospel of the kingdom; and the Lord worked with them confirming HIS WORD with signs following of salvation for the soul, body, mind and finance.

God's Plan has not changed. He gave His only begotten Son because He loved the world so much and knew this was the only way to redeem souls back to Himself for all eternity. It is not God's will that any (not even one soul) should perish. This is God's heart... His passion. It should also be the heart and passion of every Believer.

The Great Commission has not changed. When we obey the Great Commission, souls are added to the church. Souls are healed, delivered and set free from the captivity of satan because it is the Lord working with us that Believe, confirming the WORD with signs following.

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 laborers into his harvest.Luke 10: 2. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14:23.


Lord open our eyes to see your heart and your passion for souls and to have the same heart and passion. Give us souls, O Lord. Help us to be up and about our Heavenly Father's business and to carry on the Great Commission daily.
