You WILL GO OUT with Joy!

The blessing of the tribe of Zebulun is effectively a command: Rejoice in your going out... (Dt 33)

Joy is normally conditioned on returning safely with the goods: This requires confidence that what God has promised, God WILL do. 

That's why the great commission to GO and make disciples is structured like an Oreo cookie.

'All authority is given..' and 'I AM with you always..' create the framework of promised Authority and Presence so that regardless of the assignment, our joy is assured.

Zeb's additional directive is to summon people to the Mountain of God to worship with offerings AND to celebrate with abundance and treasure.

This is not religious: To call someone to The Mountain of God is to bring them into the Presence, Power, and Glory of the King.

But to what end? 

As the church, we've been adept at calling people to make 'right sacrifices' but frequently fail to bring them to feast and celebrate with lavish abundance.  

God is giving new assignments to go into the harvest field in frequently unfamiliar and unwelcoming environments. 

Our joy in going out is not anchored in the where, how, why details of the journey, but in the with WHOM.

We have authority, He is with us, and His promises are sure.

In this month linked to the tribe of Zebulun, ask for and walk in that anointing.

You WILL GO OUT with joy and the harvest WILL respond.

Stephen
