what does discipleship look like: 2

I first want to appologize for not posting this more promptly. Grace and I have been on the road for 2 weeks now and I have not had internet access. So right now I am sitting in the prayer room here in KC and have a brief moment to bring up some questions and thoughts. I hope that this proves fruitful in our lives. I thank all of you for you love and commitment unto the Lord.

Jesus said… “Go and make disciples. Teach them all things”

my first thought is what is “all things” and are we teaching “all things” in our churches.

I look at the ministry of Jesus, God incarnate and I ask what did Jesus do? Why did He do the things He did? What did His disciples do? Why did the do the things they did?

Jesus: Preaching the Kingdom, Casting out evil spirits, healing the sick

disciples: Preaching the Kingdom, casting out evil spirits, healing the sick

This is what His disciples did because this is what He taught them, and what He told them to do.

I see that there is great opposition in the western church when addressing these areas of faith, but I fear that the church in the west is not functioning as Jesus declared we are to be.

We have the most churches, seminaries, teachers, etc… here in the west, but we do not have one single transformed community. We have gathered knowledge, but we have yet to encounter on a corporate level the TRUE KNOWLEDGE of GOD that leads us into an encounter with the eternal One.

It is my desire with these posts to stir up a conversation of brothers and sisters who realize that something isn’t right and we must get back to the gospel that Jesus came to preach. The gospel of the Kingdom.

I pray that we would not be a people who “deny the power of God” (2 Timothy 3.1-5) but that we would be a people who desire to see God come in His glory and heal our land. That we would be a people who submit ourselves to His word and His Spirit. That we would see the greatness of His power released in our lives and in our land.

God reveal to us Your heart in the precious name of Jesus we ask… lead us into truth.
