Discipleship Is Costly
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. Matthew 16:24 (AMP)
Jesus's disciples don't follow the crowd. Speaking in truth about the difficult road (No sugarcoating), we encourage the crowd to follow Him.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
⁵These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. ⁶Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. ⁷As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ ⁸Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
Note what Jesus' disciples are required to give freely give:
• Heal the sick
• Raise the dead
• Cleanse those who have leprosy
• Drive out demons
Those are the gifts that we commanded to share freely. No sporting events listed there. Albeit, even those gifts are only to be given in towns where "The kingdom of heaven is near" (i.e. message of repentance) is preached. Both messenger and message must be welcomed. It was absolutely never Jesus's will for His disciples be cast out.
Why then has there been no reward? Dishonor, due to miscounsel.
Jesus commanded His disciples to "Cast out evil spirits;" not people. Certainly not homeless, elder women of God. We are all evil to some degree: "For, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Yet, God did not cast us out.

REPENT!
"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." 1 John 1:8
Indeed, God already knows. But at the time of judgment, He will inquire not about the number of games you won; rather, He will ask how you treated your neighbors, particularly those who were in need among you.
This, I have seen...
2026 — Though they compass about me daily, not one person in this city, in four years, has opened their house to me in godliness. ["Write down what you have seen."]
