I have a thirst to evangelize, but how do I proceed?

In the Gospel of Luke chapter 10 verses 1 to 7, there is a mission for you. 1 After this the LORD appointed seventy others, and sent them before Him, two by two, to all the cities and places where He was about to go. 2 And he said to them: Indeed, the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few; Pray therefore to the LORD of the harvest to send workers into his harvest. 3 Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Take no purse, no saddlebag, no sandals; and salute no one on the way. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house. 6 And if there be a son of peace there, your peace will rest upon him; and if not, he will return to you. 7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they have; for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. Here we see the LORD JESUS sending His disciples before HIM to those cities. HE, he would be leaving soon after. Wonderful mission, but very risky. In the first two verses we see the commission. JESUS calls seventy disciples to precede Him. Were they before HIM. In the biblical vision 70 is a very important number:
a) To assist Moses in commanding GOD's people in the desert, 70 elders were chosen (Numbers 11:16);
b) In Elim there were 70 palm trees that served as shade for GOD's people in the desert (Exodus 15:27);
c) Israel's captivity lasted 70 years (Daniel 9:12);
d) Daniel's prophetic revelation refers to 70 weeks of years (Daniel 9:24). JESUS' instruction was that they should go two by two. It's better to be two. If one falls, the other will pick him up. One is discouraged, the other usually is not, and will then revive him. If anyone rises up against them, both of them will stand in this opposition. Here it is the wisdom of the LORD JESUS himself. In verse. 2 let's see JESUS talking about the need for intercession. The harvest is not small, but the harvesters are few. Pray, cry out to the FATHER Owner of the harvest to send harvesters. Where is the field, where is the harvest? The world! We need to win this generation of ours in our days, to Our GOD. Let's start at the very least, calling on the Owner of the harvest to send more servants so that together we can carry out his work. You can be that worker, here with us right now.
a) Does your heart burn for souls?
b) The harvest is there, it is the world.
c) In your home, neighborhood, business. JESUS now wants to raise harvesters for his harvest.
d) But don't forget to be prepared. Look at the danger of this job. The verse. says: Behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves. We are sheep among wolves. What happens if a sheep is in a pack? The wolves will have no compassion and will definitely want to devour her.
e) You don't want to take any risks, so don't obey this call. Keep to yourself, why obey the Owner of the Seara? My sister, but is this not an ordinance? Yes, go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature…
f) If there is cowardice, it is better not to go.
g) But if you want to follow JESUS, obeying HIM will suffer persecution. Fights will come, there will be oppositions. Our main enemy, Satan will rise up with devices, he will certainly use his allies. The world will rise against you. And after knowing all this, do you still want to answer this call? It is thorny, yet glorious!
h) There is tremendous urgency in carrying out this work. The verse. 4 says: Take no purse, nor scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way. Don't set priorities to stay on task, don't worry, because whoever sends you guarantees it. Don't worry about what it will be like, just trust the Provider. I repeat, HE guarantees. In this same verse the LORD JESUS will also say that you should not greet anyone along the way. Why this instruction from the LORD JESUS? We know that the Jews' greeting was delayed, and His disciples had to understand the urgency of the work. Don't get distracted by so many things. What could be distracting you? What has stopped you from doing the work of an evangelist? An evangelist is not simply someone who has this specific calling. You can say as an excuse: in my church there is so-and-so, so-and-so, there are so many evangelists, so I don't need to do the work. Compassion! Never say that my brother. This is the responsibility of all the saved.
i) Look to GOD for strategies to achieve lives. I have already gained many lives in their last moments of life on earth, hallelujah!
j) Verses. From 5 to 7 we will talk about evangelization in homes. … when you enter a house… say: peace be with this house. Don't enter homes criticizing images, or the way you eat, or anything else. We are sent to minister peace in homes. Peace we have in JESUS, the Prince of Peace. What a tremendous method to win homes and thus a society to be won for JESUS. Cells, houses of peace, worship in homes, I don't know what your congregation calls it, but be part of it! The early church used this method. Perhaps your neighbor will not come to your congregation upon receiving your invitation, but will come to your home. Now think about this: You arriving at your neighbor's house and saying: Peace be to this house! The world in conflict. This person is certainly in some conflict at home as well. Believe me, what this neighbor wants to hear most are these words. Let JESUS use you believer! Eat what they give you says verse. 7. Don't want to be in the rich house and not the poor one. Its main motivation is not people's goods but people themselves. Leaving the houses, enter the cities, but if the Gospel is rejected, woe to that city. The Word n ver. 11 will say that even the dust of your city, which clings to our feet, must be shaken off. However, know this: That the Kingdom of GOD has arrived! Vers. 16 says: Whoever hears you hears Me, and whoever rejects you rejects Me, and whoever rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me. There needs to be revelation, so let us pray before leaving for a house, neighborhood, city, or even for a service at your church. Pray that GOD reveals himself in a tremendous way to hearts.
