A Christ Follower: The Journey

  Please review "What Does It Mean" Parts One and Two: What Does It Mean: Part Three? Seven Powerful Life Changing Words! “Take up The Cross and follow me.” Here are seven words: What do they mean? Answering this question, for yourself, will change your life, “IF” you let it happen, and “IF” you deny yourself, and you are willing to leave the world, the flesh and the devil behind. “IF” you are willing to turn from your law breaking, of habitually breaking God’s liberating limits -- God’s Ten Commandments -- which you cannot keep on your own. Indeed!   phenomenal things will happen for you, and to you, “IF” you “take up the Cross and follow Jesus.” Taking up the Cross, and following Jesus requires the turning away from all the things previously discussed. It presupposes letting go of being in charge of your life, and it involves letting God be involved in your life, as you surrender your life to God through Jesus His Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. It necessitate...

 On October 26th, I began this journey regarding "What Does It Mean?"  Please go back and review Part One before reading this on in order to be fully aware of God's vital truth for Christ Followers. What Does It Means: Part Two? “Let him deny himself” Letting Self Denial Happen “If” we want to be Jesus’ Disciple, He begins by saying we are to be men and women who Let something happen: We let self-denial happen. In other words, we choose to deny ourselves. What does it mean to deny ourselves? Denying ourselves means to turn from the ways of the world the flesh and the devil -- or the ways that let me run my life apart from the Lord and His ways -- and we let the Lord run our lives.   It’s key to let it happen. If we don’t make the choice to let it happen, then God’s transforming power, and His grace cannot be involved. Our choice is to give up our lives, as we have been living them, and deny those ways as a part of our lives, is imperative. What Does This Involve?...

 Loved “Good Morning 🙏 🌄 ☺  Vicki slept well 😌 and is up and about today. She seems a bit stronger.  We are continually yielding all our sickness or suffering, one day at a time, trusting God, through His Son, Jesus, by The power of The Holy Spirit, to fulfill all four parts of of the Ancient prophecy He proclaimed through Isaiah, in Isaiah 53:5. And that He do so in both of us and in any of you who may be sick or suffering.  We know God makes all of this possible because of the obedient work of Jesus The Messiah. Jesus IS our Savior, our Sanctifier, our Healer and our soon coming King. ” I pray, Christ Follower, that Jesus would truly be your Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Soon Coming King.

 Dear Christ Follower Community, We need your prayers. I have been away for a while because TLOML has been ill, and she is in the hospital.  Please pray that all parts of  Isaiah 53:5 will be fulfilled in her life: Almighty God, We praise you today, that Jesus, in obedience to The Father, you were wounded for our transgressions. You were bruised for our iniquities. You sacrificed your body and shed your blood receiving our punishment for our sins, and therefore, you provided us peace with God. HALLELUJAH! You also received whip lashes on your back. And as you promised, by your stripes, we are healed. We fully embrace Isaiah 53:5 by faith. And we trust all parts of this fulfilled ancient prophecy will be accomplished in my wife's life, including the complete healing of her physical body. In Jesus Name 🙏 Amen 🙌 

  What Does It Mean: Part One? Then Jesus said to His disciples , “If anyone will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Matthew 16:24   A Profound Teaching of Jesus Jesus, in this teaching, is making profound statements: He is spelling out clearly what He expects of people who wish to know Him as Savior, and also know Him as Lord; therefore, it is vital we, who want eternal life, be clear on precisely what Jesus means as He declares this big “IF” that makes possible for human beings to truly be Christ Followers and reap the glorious benefits of Eternal Salvation. In the coming blogs, we will share together what this big “IF” means. We will discuss what denying ourselves means, and then we will look at what following Him means, and how important it is to really understand what His teachings say to us in Matthew 16:24. What Is the Big Deal About These Six Words? Jesus is talking to men who are in the process of leaving their ol...

It won’t happen. If the Lord is not, Himself, guarding it, and protecting it,   and people try to be the guards, they will fail miserably. IN MY LIFE: In my life, I have learned the importance of abiding in Christ, and He in me. Jesus describes this relationship, with Him, as being like a branch that is a part of a vine. The branch absolutely cannot be alive, nor can it produce fruit, apart from the vine. Therefore, Jesus strongly declares absolute truth: “Apart from me you can do NO-thing!” Something to Consider Consider this, in light of building a home, a life, a relationship, a family, a church, a nation or a culture: Based on the Jesus “ Vineyard Principle ” above, and the emp...
