Luke
  
8"Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as they are set before you.9And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’10But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,11‘The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’"


Do you pray for a certain town or village, and do you include your town in your continuous prayers? The spirit dwelling in the people of a town often decides whether to accept or refuse the gospel. Sometimes we find the people of a whole town hardened against the power of the ministers of the Lord. So do not strive for a long time, but make your way to other villages that are prepared for the gospel, where many commit themselves to Christ winning his everlasting life. Great capital cities are not often written in the book of heavenly life, contrary to some villages that are despised in our world but praised in heavens. Thank God for we sometimes find faith and godliness in some quarters, where there is paradise in the midst of corruption, while there are villages in which hell prevails. Be watchful when you preach trusting the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and do not be obstinate in your service. Go wherever the Spirit of God’s love may lead you.
