24th Strategy.
Jesus Speaks.
​

• Pray for God to open your heart to hear a new word from Him today.
• Read the entire passage.
• Re-read only the words that are written in red. These words signify words that were said by Jesus Christ, himself. Aloud. In this world. Granted the entire Bible are His Words. He, through His Spirit has spoken them. But, these are just a bit different.
• As you re-read the words spoken by Jesus imagine He is speaking and you are there.
• Then read the passage surrounding those words.
• Ask God to show you what He wants you to see.
• Now re-read the entire passage one more time.
• Don't forget to thank Him for being with you.
• Don't forget to thank Him for answering.

9. As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector's booth. "Follow me and be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.

10. Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners.
11. But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with such scum?"

12. When Jesus heard this, he said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor — sick people do."
13. Then he added, "Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to show mercy, not to offer sacrifices.' For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
Matthew 9:9-13 NLT
