Luke 10:2-4 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few...Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

Luke 22:35-36 35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Ephesians 3:1-3 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is

given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery...that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel...
