Standing Orders   

 

"Next Paul and Silas traveled through the area of Phrygia and Galatia, because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in the province of Asia at that time." Acts 16:6 (NLT)

 

Paul had standing orders from the Lord to preach the Gospel throughout the world, and that's exactly what he did. Once Paul knew what God wanted from him he started sharing the Gospel immediately; he had no need to wait for another word from the Lord about where to go; God had told him to go everywhere. But, we see there were times as Paul went about preaching the Gospel that he was prevented by God form going to certain places. Paul went everywhere sharing the Gospel, not looking for any other direction, than that which had already been given him, varying his work and direction only when told to by the Holy Spirit.

 

Many of God's children are waiting for God to give them a special sign, or some specific instruction about going to share the Gospel with others, when in truth He's already given it. Jesus told His followers to go into the entire world preaching the Gospel! We have our marching orders, and they stand unless otherwise directed by the Holy Spirit! We don't have to ask if God wants us to go out, or where He wants us to go; He's already told us! We are to take the Gospel message everywhere, and we are to do it intentionally and purposely! We are to take the Gospel to our friends and family, to our co-workers, to the people in the market, and indeed to every nation! It is not only our responsibly to do so, but our honor! William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, once said, "'Not called!' did you say?' Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the face - whose mercy you have professed to obey - and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world."

 

"And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15 (NKJ)
