“Seven lessons for the seventy” (Luke 10:1-20) 

1. “TWO” - the MENTORING of multiplying.

1. “After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go…”  
2. YOU NEED A TIMOTHY. Paul always took a younger disciple with him to train him in his “ways.”

2. “HARVEST” - the MANDATE for multiplying.

1. And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” (Luke 10: 2)  
2. We have to focus our eyes on the harvest:

3. “PRAYER” - the MOTIVATION of multiplying.

1. “Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest (Luke 10:2). WHEN PEOPLE START TO PRAY, GOD STARTS TO SEND THEM OUT.
2. The word “Send forth” is really “cast out” (like “cast out” demons). We do need to “cast out” demons, but we really need to “cast out” some laborers who are hanging around the bunkhouse!

4. “FAITH”- the MONEY of multiplying.

1. “Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road…” (Luke 10:4).  
2. “Faith” is also critical in mobilization for the harvest.

5. “HOMES” - the METHOD of multiplying.

1. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. (Luke 10: 5-7)  
2. House of peace”—The church must move outside the building. The laborer must find a home, a headquarters, in which to base their ministry.

6. “HEALING” - the MIRACLES of multiplying.

1. “Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ (Luke 10:9)  
2. Healing is a KINGDOM
3. Everywhere you go, you should be praying for the sick. You should be building your faith for miracles. One miracle can open an entire city.

7. “AUTHORITY” - the MASTERY of multiplying.

1. “The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you AUTHORITY to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the ABILITY of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you” (Luke 10:19)
2. “Authority”-The last element of multiplying is “authority,” power over Satan. “AUTHORITY OVER ABILITY.”
