A Disciple of Christ: Luke 9:23

 And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

What is a Disciple? A disciple is a student, or learner, or a follower of Christ and His teachings. The twelve were called Jesus’ disciples, so is all Christians are called disciples of Christ. This is because all believers have committed him/herself to the teaching and life of Christ.

Being a disciple of Christ is a lifestyle and lifetime commitment to the study of the Bible truths and teaching them to others as well as applying them to our lives daily.

Is there a cost to Discipleship? Yes, there is, because there is a lifestyle change. The change includes a transformation from the heart; denying him or herself of the pleasurable things of life that we use to do especially if they do not align with God’s morals.

Being a disciple of Christ is a blessing in that we are the light of the world shinning bright the glory of God.

  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Our nation, our world, is in chaos and needs healing, so join me in a worldwide prayer asking God to heal our land. There is so much devastation. Everywhere you look, there is devastation, flooding in one area, fires burning out of control, hurricanes recking havoc that will take months if not years to recover. This scene is on display throughout the world. I receive notices of flooding in other parts of our world. Hunger and diseases are ravaging the country, fighting in other parts of the world.  People, we need to turn back to God.  We are members of the human race created in the image and likeness of God; therefore, let us pray for and love one another. This nation has many sins it needs to be forgiven for; therefore, let us humble ourselves before th...

Cry Out To The Lord: Luke 18:35-43 KJV

  And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36   And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37  And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38  And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 39  And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.   And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41  Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42  And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 43  And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. The story of the blind man indicates many in our world today crying out for help; the questi...
