Three Ways to Follow Jesus in 2019

Three Ways to follow Jesus Christ in 2019

  1. Intensely reconsider all church traditions.
  2. If the Spirit shows you how one of his servants are not following Jesus Christ stop following him. Paul said “Follow me as I follow Christ”, not “follow me because you like and trust me” or not “follow me because I’m the one in charge.”
  3. Respond thoroughly and rapidly when you know the Lord is showing you new things. Never disregard and blow him off like other authority figures.

Deny Self ? Deny Jesus?

“If anyone would come after me, let him DENY HIMSELF and take up his cross and FOLLOW ME”

Mark 8:34 ESV

“And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.””

Mark 14:30 ESV

In our lives someone WILL BE and MUST BE denied EVERY SINGLE day. Self or Jesus Christ.

We cannot follow Jesus and put self #1.

To put Jesus #1 and follow him is to put self (with his/her desire for pride of life and status and pleasure and ease and honor and money) in his proper place …daily…repeatedly.

The Way

Where I’m in Control

“He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”

Psalms 23:2-4

We can’t be stubborn and hope get anywhere with the Lord. We can trust that He is taking us somewhere we should be.

“But the quiet waters are on the other side of rough turbulent waters.

The path of righteousness looks uncomfortable and terrifying and I really don’t like the other people on it.

The valley of the shadow of death looks creepy why would Gods take me there?

No I’ll stay here… where I’m in control.”
