Linked 07: Go: It's Not Where, But How

Last week we talked about how to “go” to your city. We’re city takers, remember, so how are we taking our city? By the art of giving. And what are we giving? We are giving love. In this continuing study on Luke 10, we are going to learn today how to give to our city. 

 

Luke 10 is filled with practical acts that we can do for our cities, in love. It’s also a good time for me to remind you to go back and listen to an earlier episode of Are You Real Linked, where I had guests George and Sarah Williams of City Light Church in Toledo, OH on the show. They have completely given their lives for the sake of going to their city. 

 

There are 6 categories of “Go”:

 

Reconciliation

Deliverance

Miracles

Faith

Your Calling or Destiny

Healing

 

 

Show Highlights:

 

• The “go” we are talking about isn’t going on a journey. 
• This “go” means to literally lead under. Who are we leading under? We are leading under the Holy Spirit. 
• To “Go” - it’s an action verb, so it requires action on the part of the sender.
• Jesus was clear about going and doing very practical things for our fellow city dwellers.
• This word “go” - always references a Divine partnership with the Holy Spirit.
• There are 2 components to Linked - prayer and support
• We are linking to the Spirit to engage in our community.
• Matthew 20 parallels Luke 10.
• Vineyard = kingdom

Jesus talked in parables. He gave us practical steps that are parallel to what he mentioned in the parable. Maybe he really wants us to put everything on the altar and be willing to sacrifice it for him. 

This “go” mindset forms in the spiritual and then extends into the natural. 

We have to have a kingdom mindset and be linked in the spirit and then we link with others to do good works so that others can be drawn to the spirit as well.
