Of the apostles it is written, "They went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following." Mark 16:20. As Christ sent forth His disciples, so today He sends forth the members of His church. The same power that the apostles had is for them. If they will make God their strength, He will work with them, and they shall not labor in vain. Let them realize that the work in which they are engaged is one upon which the Lord has placed His signet. God said to 600 Jeremiah, "Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee." Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched His servant's mouth, saying, "Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth." Jeremiah 1:7-9. And He bids us go forth to speak the words He gives us, feeling His holy touch upon our lips.

Der står skrevet om apostlene: "De gik ud og prædikede alle vegne. Og Herren virkede med og stadfæstede ordet ved de tegn, som fulgte med." Mark. 16,20. Ligesom Kristus udsendte sine disciple, således udsender han i dag sin menigheds medlemmer. Der tilkommer dem den samme kraft, som apostlene havde. Hvis de vil gøre Gud til deres styrke, så vil han virke sammen med dem og de skal ikke arbejde forgæves. De må forstå, at det arbejde, som de er beskæftigede med, er et, hvorpå Herren har sat sit segl. Gud sagde til Jeremias: "Sig ikke: Jeg er ung! men gå, hvorhen jeg end sender dig og tal alt, hvad jeg byder dig. Frygt ikke for dem, thi jeg er med dig for at frelse dig." Derpå rakte Herren sin hånd ud og rørte ved sin tjeners mund, idet han sagde: "Nu lægger jeg mine ord i din mund." Jer. 1,7-9. Og han byder os gå ud for at tale de ord, han giver os, når vi føler hans hellige berøring af vore læber.
