Disciple part 1

I touched on this yesterday, but I want to really dig into it for the next few days. What does it mean to be a disciple? Well, we kind of need to start with answering the question, "A disciple of what?" Or who? So let's make it plain. "A new commandment I give unto you, That yelove one another; as...

To know, and to be known. That's what this life is all about. To know that we are loved, and to be known of love. To be known BY our love. That's literally what Jesus says in John 13:35, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." Because, let's be honest,...

Knowing and believing. That's the Divine Order of things. Because you can't believe what you don't know. Because faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word (which is Jesus, which is love) of God. You hear that Word--that God is love and He loves you--and it gets past head knowledge and...

Here's the thing about knowing when it comes to God (love)--its a two way street. Now let me quote my Scripture before I try to explain this. Galatians 4:8-9, "Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather...

In knowing, we can believe. In believing, we can experience. And that's the whole point of the whole thing, isn't it? Jesus came to give us life, and that more abundantly. But where I think we get it twisted a lot of the time, is that we try to live Jesus' life. When nobody can live Jesus' life...

I always say "knowing and believing" is the Divine Order of things. Because you can't believe something you don't know. Faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word (which is Jesus, which is love) of God. You have to hear it before you can have faith in it. You have to see someone sit in a...

Our faith connects us to Jesus. And His faith gets things done. Anything we ask for in His name--with His nature--we find that He has already given us. In a word: Love. And we experience this love that we have already been given... by giving it away. So, in believing, we are really just receiving...

Faith without works is dead, but faith is what makes everything work. In believing, we experience what God has for us. What God has given to us. Look at Matthew 9:28-29, "And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?...

Here it is, as simple as I can make it: "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" (Matthew 21:22). And this doesn't mean we can ask for any old thing, say we believe it, and it'll happen. You can't say, "God, can I have a million dollars?" "Believe" it, and...

In believing the truth, we make it true... for us. Because the truth is the truth. Always has been, always will be. But if you don't know it and believe it, you won't be able to experience it. And look at 1 John 4:16, "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he...
