"I'm sending you.." to do what?

As we enter into a new Poly and JC, we will once again enter into an atmosphere thats different from God's will. People will not have habits and cultures that we may be comfortable with. And there will be many situations where we(I) dont know how to respond. But God says in Ezekiel 2:6,
"Do not be afraid of them or their words."
"Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them."
Even if Christians are scarce there, and we are surrounded by people who can influence us with their ways, we will "not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around [us] and [we] live among scorpions."

(Ezekiel 2:7)
Instead, "[we] must speak [God's] words to them." He is sending us there to tell them what He says! Whether they listen or fail to listen, even if we think that they will definitely not, we must still speak His words to them.

(Ezekiel 2:8)
"Listen to what [He] says", "open [our] mouth and eat what [He] gives [us]." This means that we must feed ourselves from God's word-to be careful not to adopt others' behaviours!
