Hi friends I'm Annie F Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships, the

sacrifices, the meals, the miracles. So here is how it works. I'll read three

chapters to you. You can listen or read along in your own Bible or online and then I'll pray and that's it.

Today is day 11 and I'll be reading Luke chapters 10 through 12 from the new living

translation and if you got your let's read the Gospel's guided journal, we are on page 79.

If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand.

If they are not, the blessing will return to you.

Don't move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide.

Don't hesitate to accept hospitality because those who work deserve their pay.

If you enter a town and it welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you, heal the sick, and tell them the kingdom of God is near you now.

But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, we wipe even the dust of your town from our feet

to show that we have abandoned you to your fate and know this the kingdom of God is

near I assure you even wicked Sodom will be better off in such a town on
