Sheath The Sword?

At the beginning of the Disciples ministry Jesus launched them out with instructions to take no provisions.  No money bag, no back pack, no extra saddles & so on.  They were launched into a small region with no provisions other than their faith and they were in need of nothing.  Their territory was small and their audience (as instructed by Jesus) was to their own people. 
However, before the arrest of Christ, their instructions changed.  Where once they were told not to have these things, now they were told to pick them up.  Why did Jesus change His mind?  Why were they told one thing one minute and one thing the next?  Simple!  Their mission changed!  Where once they were in the own territory, now they were being launched world wide! 
Don't get confused when what God told you to do in the past doesn't line up with your intended future.  It does not mean you misheard Him, it simply means that your mission has changed.  When missions change provisions change.  The disciples didn't rebuke Jesus for seemingly contradicting His previous intructions.  NO!  They applied their new instructions to their new mission.  
 Do you have "new" instructions from the Lord today?  Then get ready for a change of wind because your mission has just changed directions.
