   *XI. MATTHEW 9:35-11:1 CHRIST'S METHOD OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL*


 *A. 9:35-10:5a ENLARGEMENT OF THE MINISTRY: DIVINE STRATEGY*

*1. 9:35 TEACHING, PREACHING AND HEALING DEMONSTRATION*

Kai pe-ri*E*gen ho I*e*SOUS tas POleis PAsas kai tas K*O*mas [2968],

*And :Jesus went about all the cities and the villages,*

diDAsk*o*n en tais su-na-g*o*GAIS auT*O*N,

*teaching in their :synagogues,*

kai k*e*RUSs*o*n [2784] to eu-agGEli-on [2098] t*e*s ba-siLEIas [932],

*and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,*

kai the-raPEU*o*n [2323] PAsan NOson [3554] kai PAsan ma-laKIan [3119].

 *2. 9:36-10:1 COMPASSION ON SHEEP - LABORERS COMMISSIONED*

*a. 9:36 PITY: JESUS REACTS TO SHEPHERDLESS SHEEP*

I-D*O*N de tous OCHlous, e-splagchNISth*e* [4697] peRI auT*O*N,

*But seeing the crowds, he was moved with pity for them,*

HOti *E*san e-skulMEnoi [1590] kai e-rimMEnoi [4496],

*because they were distressed and scattered,*

h*o*SEI PROba-ta [4263] m*e* Echon-ta poiMEna [4168].

*as if sheep having no shepherd.*


 *b. 9:37 NEED OF PEOPLE EMPHASIZES NEED OF LABORERS*

TOte LEgei tois ma-th*e*TAIS auTOU, Ho men the-risMOS [2326] poLUS,

*but the laborers are few.*


 *c. 9:38 PRAYER: THE SOLUTION FOR THE NEED OF LABORERS*

de*E*th*e*-te [1189] oun tou KuRIou tou the-risMOU [2326],

*Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest,*

HOp*o*s emBAl*e* [1544] erGAtas eis ton the-risMON auTOU.

Kai pro-ska-leSAme-nos [4341] tous D*O*de-ka ma-th*e*TAS auTOU,

*And he called to him his twelve :disciples,*

Ed*o*-ken auTOIS e-xouSIan [1849] pneuMAt*o*n a-kaTHARt*o*n [169],

*and** gave them authority over unclean spirits, *

H*O*ste ekBALlein [1544] auTA,

kai the-r*o*PEUein [2323] PAsan NOson [3554] kai PAsan ma-laKIan [3119].

*and to heal every sickness and every infirmity.*


 *3. 10:2-4 NAMES OF THE TWELVE*

T*o*n de D*O*de-ka a-poSTOl*o*n [652] ta oNOmaTA estin TAUta:

*Now the names of the twelve apostles are these:*

PR*O*tos, SIm*o*n, ho leGOme-nos PEtros, kai AnDREas ho a-delPHOS auTOU;

*The** first, Sim**on, :called Peter, and Andrew his :brother;*

kai IAk*o*-bos ho tou Ze-beDAIou, kai I*o*An*e*s ho a-delPHOS auTOU;

*and James the son of :Zebedee, and John his :brother;*

PHIlip-pos, kai Bar-tho-loMAIos; Th*o*MAS, kai MathTHAIos ho teL*O*n*e*s
[5057];

*3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;*

IAk*o*-bos ho tou AlPHAIou, kai ThadDAIos;

*James the son of :Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;*

SIm*o*n ho Ka-naNAIos, kai IOUdas ho I-ska-ri*O*t*e*s, ho kai pa-raDOUS
[3860] auTON.

*4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas :Iscariot, who also delivered him up.*


 *4. 10:5a SENDING OF THE TWELVE: CHALLENGE*

TOUtous tous D*O*de-ka aPEstei-len [649] ho I*e*SOUS, pa-ragGEIlas
[3853]auTOIS, LEg
*o*n,

*These :twelve :Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying,*



 *NOTE**:* 9:36-10:1 - In Hebrew thought, human emotions are linked with
body parts. Deep feelings of pity and compassion are linked with the
intestines (e-splagchNISth*e*). This is easy to see. When we see an animal
being hit and wounded by a car on a road, many people feel an inner pain of
hurt or pity. This is what Jesus as Son of man felt for the shepherdless
people of His day.


 Notice next that He immediately offered a practical solution. To His
disciples He said, *Pray the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth
laborers into his harvest. *Straightway He commissioned His 12 disciples
with *authority* to do the same miraculous ministry of healing and casting
out demons that He did. As *we* pray to the Father in Jesus' Name -
*He*will raise up leaders like the apostle Paul in these last days!


 Judas too received authority in this way, but it did *not* guarantee his
salvation. Instead, he fits into the passage in Matthew 7:15-23 of *false
prophets*, who felt because *they prophesied in Jesus' name, cast out demons
and in His Name did many mighty works*, that He would surely receive them!
But He called them workers of lawlessness, of whom Judas was one, and some
of the professing evangelists of our day.


 Be not deceived - all that glitters is *not* gold; and all professing
Christians will not make heaven's pearly gates. *We* often lower the bars of
the Kingdom of heaven to encourage goats in. But God's Kingdom rules *refuse
* the goats, and only receive true sheep. Jesus advised us to make our
calling and election *sure*. We should *not* just hope so - we should press
in until we *know so*! He who endures to the *end* shall be saved - *Jesus*'
words! J.A.W.



 *“A HIGH RECOMMENDATION FOR A BOOK PURCHASE”*

“*WARFARE BY HONOR” - A Protocol Handbook*

*by Qaumaniq and Suuquiina*


 *The power of protocol *has not been lost so much as it has been ignored.
Protocol is not simply etiquette or manners - it is doing what is right
between people. It is about honor, dignity, place, space, history,
achievement, wisdom and caring. By choosing the path of honor, we are
actually engaging in *warfare by honor* and are restoring the power that
true protocol has.


 An Episcopal priest used protocol to honor a local Jewish congregation.

It resulted in a new relationship between that congregation and church.

They remain in a vibrantly increasing relationship today.


 A Messianic Rabbi used protocol to honor two provincial mayors in Malawi,
Africa.

They both said this had never been done before.

The mayors opened doors for the rabbi and his congregation all over their
provinces.


 A Canadian Grand-Chief led 96 First Nations people to the Knesset in Israel

and used protocol to honor President Avrim Berg.

He gave them his blessing and protection,

and imparted authority to them to “do in Israel what you came here to do.”


 *This is the power of protocol. *Within these pages you will learn the many
aspects of protocol. You will learn about honor and how to practice showing
it to others. So prepare to be both challenged and encouraged through one of
the most important books you will read this year - *Warfare by Honor.*


 *Suuqiina and Qaumaniq* travel across North America and internationally
conducting Protocol and Healing the Land seminars. As equal partners in this
ministry, it is their calling as believers to stand for justice and release
believers from the effects of oppression. They model through their
partnership in ministry, oneness and equality between the genders. Suuqiina
and Qaumaniq serve as directors of Indigenous Messengers International, a
restoration ministry. They also serve as the North American Representatives
for Emmaus Way, a Messianic ministry in Tel Aviv, Israel, and are founding
members of The Indigenous Christian Association. They reside in Alaska and
California and have 4 children, 18 grandchildren and one great grandchild.


 In July 1st of 1995 at Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

37 countries came for “The Gathering of the Nations”.

Here I saw my first example of Protocol.

Freda Cooper, granddaughter of a Coast Salish Chiefton

led some 20 tribes of the First Nations People in a vertical restoration
relationship with God.

But first she welcomed some 2000 of us to their land in a Protocol Ceremony.

Then representatives from Great Britain, the United States and Canada

knelt and apologized and asked forgiveness from these 20 nations

for the way our countries had treated the aboriginal peoples.

David Mainse of 100 Huntley Street said

it was the outstanding day of his life in which he witnessed Protocol
enacted.


 Then in August of 2009 I was keynote speaker in Vancouver, Washington

for 90 representatives of the 4 major cities of Cascadia , the Pacific NW -

Vancouver/Portland, Seattle/Tacoma, Vancouver, BC/Victoria, and Spokane.

In a Protocol ceremony, a representative of the First Nations People

welcomed us to the land, and gave me as the keynote speaker

an Indian necklace, plus a book by Richard Twiss.


 Thirdly I was invited to a meeting in Tacoma with speaker Suuqiina.

As an elder, he gave me Protocol honor for the work I am doing,

which both surprised me, yet honored me in an unexpected way. - Jim Watt
