Behold, I say to you, lift your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored, and you have entered into their labor.
John 4:35b, 38 NAS
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few…” “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely you received, freely give.” Matthew 9:37; 10:7, 8 NAS
Read these familiar Scriptures over several times. Let them settle deeply on the inside of you, just as if Jesus was speaking them to you personally – He is.
There are some difficult questions to be answered by each of us, and we need to be grounded in an understanding of the above Scriptures and of our Blood-bought righteousness in Christ, before we can answer them without getting offended. We need to be secure in our understanding before we step out. If it means taking a few days to get grounded, that’s fine.
