How did Jesus equip his disciples for powerful work by taking away their material possessions?
Hello dear friends, I think Jesus never wanted the disciples to think of any other thing that would distruct them on the way to the mission.So was trainning them and on top of that he had given them authority to do miracles meaning that incase they would want food still they would do such a miracle.The issue hear is having the authority in Jesus you can change and create whatever you.So he didn`t want them to get distructed on the way by the worldly things and perhaps along the way Simon Peter would tell his friends to let him keep the wallet and be in charge of finance hence distructing the mission the went to.

How did Jesus equip his disciples for powerful work by taking away their material possessions?
jesus first of all equips the disciples with his authority, without which they could have done nothing except spread the word.but jesus knew that we humans need more than just the word to believe.he also equips them with the holy spirit after his death.jesus asks the disciples to give up all their belongings for them to depend fully upon God.God will provide for all their needs, and is it not easier to believe someone you can identify with?if they traveled as kings people would have found it difficult to believe in them who are living comfortably while they suffer.

By taking away their material possessions, the disciples had to put their complete faith in God. The only possession they had was a staff...staff representing God. For it is only He that can support us and help us on our way.

How did Jesus equip his disciples for powerful work by taking away their material possessions?
In taking away the material possessions of his disciples, Jesus equiped them with an unending faith in the power of God. For when we need possessions we become slaves but when we need nothing God can use us to do his work.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
Jesus gave the disciples the authority to cast evil spirits and sent them out two by two to spread God`s word and repent. One of the reason he asked them not to take anything with them is because they were supposed to trust and believe in God Who will provide their needs for lodging and food. This is the Mark of the beginning of the disciples` ministry in Jesus` name.

Jesus sends out the twelve
Jesus sends the disciples as ministers of the Gospel ought not to be a worldly minded men He ought to have their mind free from all solicitude and anxious concern, about a subsistence for themself and their`s, that so they may with greater and more close application attend to His ministry, to preparations for it, and the performance of it; and give up themselves entirely to the word and prayer, and not have their mind distracted with other things. Jesus was very much conscious about the wordly things, that these things may definetely give temptation and concern to the disciples. Hence Jesus equipped His disciples for powerful work by taking away their material possessions.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

He went around the villages teaching. He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics. He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there. Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"
They went out and preached that people should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
