165:5.2 " Yes, [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], I will [[speak]] to you about these matters of [[wealth]] and [[self]]-[[support]], but my words to you, [[the apostles]], must be somewhat [[different]] from those [[spoken]] to the [[disciples]] and [[the multitude]] since you have [[forsaken]] [[everything]], not only to follow me, but to be [[ordained]] as [[ambassadors]] of [[the kingdom]]. Already have you had several years' [[experience]], and you know that [[the Father]] whose kingdom you [[proclaim]] will not [[forsake]] you. You have [[dedicated]] your lives to the [[ministry]] of [[the kingdom]]; therefore be not [[anxious]] or worried about the [[things]] of the [[temporal]] life, what you shall eat, nor yet for your [[body]], what you shall wear. The [[welfare]] of the [[soul]] is more than [[food]] and drink; the [[progress]] in the [[spirit]] is far above the need of raiment. When you are [[tempted]] to [[doubt]] the sureness of your bread, consider the ravens; they sow not neither reap, they have no storehouses or barns, and yet [[the Father]] [[provides]] [[food]] for every one of them that seeks it. And of how much more [[value]] are you than many birds! Besides, all of your [[anxiety]] or fretting [[doubts]] can do nothing to supply your [[material]] needs. Which of you by [[anxiety]] can add a handbreadth to your stature or a day to your life? Since such matters are not in your hands, why do you give [[anxious]] [[thought]] to any of these [[problems]]?[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_6]

165:5.3 " Consider the lilies, how they [[grow]]; they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say to you, even [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon Solomon] in all his [[glory]] was not arrayed like one of these. If [[God]] so [[clothes]] the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is cut down and cast into the [[fire]], how much more shall he clothe you, the [[ambassadors]] of [[the heavenly kingdom]]. O you of little [[faith]] ! When you wholeheartedly [[devote]] yourselves to the [[proclamation]] of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]], you should not be of [[doubtful]] [[minds]] concerning the [[support]] of yourselves or the [[families]] you have [[forsaken]]. If you give your lives truly to the [[gospel]], you shall live by the gospel. If you are only believing [[disciples]], you must earn your own bread and [[contribute]] to the sustenance of all who [[teach]] and [[preach]] and [[heal]]. If you are [[anxious]] about your bread and water, wherein are you [[different]] from the [[nations]] of the world who so diligently seek such [[necessities]]? [[Devote]] yourselves to your [[work]], believing that both [[the Father]] and I know that you have need of all these [[things]]. Let me [[assure]] you, once and for all, that, if you [[dedicate]] your lives to the [[work]] of [[the kingdom]], all your real needs shall be supplied. Seek the greater thing, and the lesser will be found therein; ask for the [[heaven]]ly, and the [[earth]]ly shall be included. The [[shadow]] is certain to follow the substance.[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_12]

165:5.4 " You are only a small [[group]], but if you have [[faith]], if you will not stumble in [[fear]], I [[declare]] that it is my [[the Father|Father]]'s [[good]] [[pleasure]] to give you this kingdom. You have laid up your [[treasures]] where the purse waxes not old, where no thief can despoil, and where no moth can destroy. And as I told the people, where your [[treasure]] is, there will your [[heart]] be also.[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_12]
