Follow Me

“Be careful who you allow to mentor you… because you become like them…

The main call of a mentor is, “follow me,” do as I do… this was the call of Christ to His disciples… ‘I will show you how to love God and men more fully’… and this was the call of Christ to us… we can trust Him…

Jesus’ disciples had a choice to follow Him or not…

Reject sensualities control within our lives…
Devotion to the gratification of bodily appetites; free indulgence in carnal or sensual pleasures… Those pamper’d animals… unbridled lust, excess…
When our desires become the standard of truth then there is no standard…

Consistency in our walk with God…
To serve God as He should be served is not a decision made once and done, but everyday of our lives…

Let God determine your direction…
God’s calling is not simply to bless ‘our’ plans, but that His plans would become our own…
Following His will lead us up to transfiguration and eventually Heaven… the reward is far greater than the sacrifice…

Discipleship here is a picture of repentance… Turning from [deny] turning to [daily, follow]

Literally is He more important to us than our own lives? He should be…

Grace as defined by one author is, “the space given in which God gives us to figure it out.”

God’s calling us to so much more, but when we miss it His grace is sufficient… God’s grace is best seen in the process of our lives in daily dying…

If you’ve missed it in the past don’t allow the enemy of your soul to get you to believe Jesus has given up on you…

Confession came before transfiguration…
Faith gives us seeing eye’s, “seeing eye’s” don’t give us faith…

Stop waiting on a sign to believe, ‘holding out’ isn’t going to manipulate God… the point of a step of faith is that you don’t know what the outcome will be, but you trust the one calling you to step…

I don’t know what the outcome of my life will be (my ministry, marriage, children) but I trust the one to whom I’ve been called…

Will you go after Him, deny yourself and take up his cross daily and follow Him? Will you live as God has called you to live?”
