-
Welcome to this video!
I'm so excited to talk about church here.
-
I have Justin, I have Brook,
and we have little Zion with us,
-
the youngest of four kids.
-
And we want to talk about church.
-
I have just come out with a new book
called "The Call of Jesus"
-
and I'm just excited about it. And I really
believe it's time to see a new movement,
-
when it comes to seeing new, organic,
powerful house fellowships start.
-
We will hear their story,
what they have seen.
-
I want to say that, many years ago,
when I got introduced to the house church,
-
organic church, simple church,
it has many names.
-
I was a part of a network of Simple church
in Europe, before we came to America.
-
There were many, many things
that were good,
-
but when I took a turn around,
much of this,
-
I felt there was something that was
missing
-
and some of the things I saw,
in some of those circles,
-
we talk so much about the importance
of having an organic structure.
-
And I believe in that.
-
But, we didn't talk so much about
the wine you put into the wineskins.
-
You can have a good wineskin, but
if you put a wrong wine in it,
-
it doesn't change anything.
-
And what I really see now,
I hope it will be clear in my new book,
-
it's really first and foremost about the life.
-
It's about the gospel, it's about discipleship,
it's about setting people truly free,
-
healing the sick, casting out demons
and all of that,
-
but when that is correct,
if you then put it in the old system,
-
you will break it.
-
But if you put it in the good structure,
you will multiply it.
-
And this is what we want to talk about here.
I hope you are ready.
-
You have an amazing story.
You experienced God.
-
You have been on a mission trip in Africa
and Nepal. You've been all over.
-
But 18 months ago you really started
with house fellowships.
-
The focus was not house fellowships.
The focus was: let's make disciples.
-
Can you say what brought you there
and then a little what have happened?
-
We noticed that there was lack in people,
in the body of Christ, actually, obeying Jesus.
-
That it was very knowledge based.
So we took it, kind of upon ourselves.
-
We felt the Lord was asking us to bring
people in our home for discipleship,
-
which later ended up forming into
actual churches,
-
which is great because the command
is to make disciples.
-
So, when we brought people in
we realized that there was a lack
-
in a lot of just a foundations
of the faith.
-
Not only people didn't understand
how to share their own faith,
-
they had not experienced parts
of the gospel themselves.
-
And so, one of the most important
things, that I think,
-
is needs to be discussed,
it needs to be brought up,
-
whether you're speaking with individual
or a group, a community of faith,
-
is the gospel itself.
-
To make sure that everybody has fully
walked through repentance towards God,
-
that they have received the Holy Spirit,
-
that they've cut off the old life
through water baptism, all those things,
-
and once they've experienced those things,
they become stable,
-
then you can begin to equip and train
to go out in ministry.
-
- So, you, actually, met with church people?
- Yes.
-
And you saw church people got what
they were lacking.
-
It could be repentance, for some people
it could be true baptism, lay down the old life,
-
it could be the Holy Spirit, or they walked
with unforgiveness and hurt in their lives
-
and they need to put it off
and they need deliverance.
-
And then you started to see people
get set free. Is that correct?
-
That's right.
-
And you started to meet
and it just started to grow?
-
Yeah, absolutely.
-
We started meeting with individuals.
Once they would get that foundation laid
-
and naturally the thing that takes
place after that is
-
they start to want to share
with other people.
-
And we encouraged that.
-
Like, now you freely have been given,
so freely go give out what you've been given.
-
You can't keep it for yourself.
-
So, we would teach and equip
on the things of practical ways
-
you can go and share what just
took place in your life,
-
and help them understand the gospel
and help them feel comfortable
-
on how to share that with people,
so it starts with family members
-
and friends, and things like that.
in the matter of weeks we were seeing
-
multiplication take place. And so that
person in this original group
-
that we started with, we would say:
Now it's your turn to take those people
-
into your home. Don't bring them back here,
so where we can become a big church
-
in a matter of weeks. Take them into
their home or into your home,
-
lay the foundation of the gospel,
make sure they're born again properly,
-
and then you start to lead them.
All you have to do is be slightly farther
-
than the person that you're discipling.
-
And if you don't know the question
they have, you have others who do.
-
So you come to them
and you ask questions.
-
The last 18 years you have started
nine fellowships and it's growing...
-
18 months.
-
18 months, sorry. So, in 18 months
nine fellowships and it's growing.
-
One thing that really needs to be there,
is what we read in the Bible,
-
the early disciples were forbidden
to tell about Jesus,
-
but they said: We cannot stop telling
about what we've seen and heard.
-
The woman at the well, she ran down
and told everyone in Samaria:
-
Hey, I met a guy who told me everything,
who I am.
-
And there was excitement when people
really experienced that true life.
-
And that needs to be the foundation.
That is the wine - that true life.
-
And if you study the house church movement
in China,
-
I know that 90% of all of those,
when they started, many years ago,
-
they were like evangelists, because
they could not stop telling about it.
-
So, it's not like: Hey, now we take
church people and we need to just
-
whip them and say:
You have to tell about Jesus.
-
No, we take church people,
we get them soundly saved and born again
-
and excited about the life, and then
the growth, somehow, happens automatically.
-
So, how did the growth start to happen?
-
Is it from person to person,
relationships?
-
Yes. Many times through relationships,
-
but the thing I want to speak about also
is that...
-
In all of the excitement in the beginning,
when people were being set free,
-
in the fellowship church people
being set free, filled with the Holy Spirit,
-
delivered, all those things,
it's very exciting,
-
but once everybody is stable,
if you don't share this message
-
with your community, if you don't continue
to see the power of God work through,
-
becomes very boring, because your
eyes begin to turn towards yourself.
-
And what we've noticed is that, they had
a certain period of time after some months,
-
where everybody was stable, where we
had to make sure that
-
when we came together,
our focus was on Jesus Christ.
-
And when our focus was on Jesus Christ
being in our meetings,
-
He would remind us of the mission.
And that mission is not church.
-
Right? The church, actually, has a mission.
-
So, the whole goal is not for us
to just get together.
-
It's to get together so we can
encourage, edify and equip each other
-
in the presence of Christ and go out
and share the gospel with the world.
-
In the introduction in my book
"The Call of Jesus" I talk about three things;
-
I talk about the church, the mission
and Christ.
-
That very often we start with the church,
and our system, and our culture,
-
and traditions of men, and out of that
church building,
-
with everything that comes with it,
we think: Oh, we ought to do mission,
-
and in the middle of mission...
because it's in the box now,
-
we forget Christ.
-
But if we turn upside down,
and we start with Christ...
-
you can never look at Christ and say:
Oh, I have seen it all.
-
There is always excitement.
There is always something new.
-
And then it's about Him and obeying Him
and following Him,
-
and then we do mission,
not in our way, but in His way,
-
and we will automatically end up
with church.
-
And also what you said,
it was not like...
-
Jesus has not said: Go out, do church.
And maybe disciple those people.
-
He said: Go out, make disciples,
and I will build my church.
-
It was your focus in the beginning.
It was just like, how do we disciple people,
-
how do we build people up,
and you saw how Jesus was building
-
them as living stones together.
- That's right.
-
How did it look like? Can you come
with an example how one person
-
knew somebody, and knew somebody,
and how it forms?
-
We had a time where we started
with this group of five couples
-
and we were meeting together,
and we made sure they were born again,
-
and like you said: Christ was the forefront,
your relationship with Him,
-
and now you have a mission to go out
into the world and to make disciples of yourself
-
and then the church faith formed,
so once we had those three revelations,
-
it just naturally took place.
So, for instance, we had one couple
-
who started to share with their parents.
And their parents were like:
-
Okay, we want to know more.
So they had us come over.
-
And we shared with their parents
what was going on, and eventually,
-
their parents got delivered and born again.
And now in that group of people
-
those parents are meeting with their
children and they are now multiplying
-
and that person there were two parents,
they are in traditional church right now,
-
she's actually has a paid position
in the church and she's stepping down,
-
and she's actually taught sharing
her faith with her neighbor
-
and other people in the church,
and they're like: Tell me more.
-
And they're becoming interested.
And out of that a natural family is birthed,
-
in that place. So, that's hoped to happen
over and over again.
-
One family, we went into their home,
we started ministering and talking
-
to them about what is church.
Like, church is not a building,
-
it's not an event. You are the church.
So, why do you go to church
-
and do these rituals and these
traditions that nullify the Word of God?
-
You have to, actually, take what
you're learning in the Scriptures
-
and give it to other people's lives.
And they're like: We have seven couples
-
that I know would wanna do this.
And I said: Meet with them,
-
break bread with them,
take communion with them,
-
speak about holiness, speak about
the gospel and see what will happen.
-
So, they brought them in and started
relationship with these couples.
-
And then they asked us to come in and lay
a foundation of the gospel, so we did.
-
And some of these people were like
deacons in churches.
-
And they are repenting for the first time
in their lives.
-
They're being baptized.
They're getting delivered.
-
And right there you have a group
of 20 people meeting together,
-
all set free, all filled with the Holy Spirit,
of one truth, and now they are multiplying.
-
That group, there's two couples in there
that are ready to make disciples
-
and they are staring their own groups
that we have nothing to do with.
-
Because we don't know those people.
Those people aren't gonna listen to us.
-
They don't know who we are.
So the people that are leading that group
-
are gonna help these disciples start
their own fellowship.
-
And that's how it naturally multiplies
and it starts slow in the beginning,
-
because of small in number, but
when multiplication gets bigger in number,
-
it's a mass number,
that comes to know Christ.
-
And these aren't just half-hearted
disciples.
-
They are fully sold out surrendered
people who are ready
-
to take the Great Commission
to the ends of the earth.
-
And it starts in one place.
So, it's exciting.
-
You said so many amazing things here.
I want to say, it started here, with...
-
- Obedience with two people.
- Two people.
-
Those two people had something
you don't have.
-
They had a relationship.
They had a circle of people around them.
-
But you had something those two people
did not have.
-
You have the know-how and knowledge.
-
And that became a beautiful contact point,
where they had the relationship,
-
you have the knowledge,
and you come together, and you go in,
-
and you impact their network.
Their network get influenced
-
and they get discipled at the same time,
because they see how you're doing,
-
and then they have a network.
And it's spreading from this.
-
I talk about that in my book.
-
I believe we are called to go out
and find a person of peace. Jesus said that.
-
But He also said: When you find
a person of peace, stay in their house.
-
- Don't move from house to house.
- That's right.
-
Because when we come into a household,
oikos or network,
-
we want to impact everyone in that network.
-
I believe in going out on the street, but
if you already have people
-
you are working with in your network,
don't leave them and go out
-
to try to build new relationships,
when you have people there.
-
Because out on the street
it can be difficult,
-
because there is that skepticism
and you first need to build that relationship.
-
- And it's not natural. - No.
- Relationship is natural.
-
So, I would say, work with what you have,
work with what you have,
-
but if you suddenly come to a stop
and there is no more to build
-
within that relationship, then you need
to go out and build new relationships.
-
But when you have relationship,
work with relationship,
-
from person to person,
from person to person.
-
And Jesus even says, like, look up,
the harvest is plentiful,
-
but the laborers are few.
So, find the laborer.
-
Where you're gonna find them?
In the harvest.
-
So you find that laborer, in the harvest,
you give them everything you have,
-
and that person will reap of the harvest
of 30,
-
and the next will reap the harvest of 60,
and of 100,
-
and it all goes to credit back to where
it started,
-
but no one knows where it started from.
-
But that's the beauty of multiplication.
And that's what Jesus would do.
-
If you just partner with what He's already
spoken and commanded,
-
He'll breathe life onto that
-
and that will become a movement.
-
But if we sit here, like:
What is my call? What am I called to do?
-
Okay, I got this special call.
God, come bless this call on my life,
-
that I came up with, He won't bless that.
-
Bless, get a partnership and get
doing what He already blessed.
-
And He said: Go make disciples.
You build the people, He'll build the church.
-
It's as simple as that.
-
Keep it simple in that way, like you said;
the gospel, the gospel every time.
-
The gospel. And then, what you said also,
it was good, go, meet with them,
-
break the bread, communion,
break the bread.
-
Have fellowship where you come
together, you eat together.
-
There is something in connecting people.
Jesus said: When you go to a house,
-
eat and drink what they serve.
But not only eating and drinking.
-
It's also a point where you really
focus on God and the mission,
-
why are we here, and then you start
to minister.
-
And you can do that. It went from...
-
How do you do it, because sometimes
you get many relationships, at one time,
-
but very often is also just one
relationship, and one relationship,
-
and one relationship, and then
you end up with many.
-
How did you see this go?
-
Lot of times that'll be with one person
or one couple,
-
and we'll continue to meet with them
one on one, or as a couple,
-
figuring out where they're at,
helping them to get on their feet,
-
giving them tools necessary to get
their foundations.
-
But a lot of times, while we're doing that,
God will have another couple here,
-
and another person here, and here,
and then every single time
-
He will bring them together. Sometimes
there'll be relationships
-
we didn't even know they knew each other
three years ago.
-
So, when God brings this group together,
like, we're discipling,
-
and then He build, and He does it,
and He places it together.
-
I pray every single day Lord of the harvest,
at 10:02, Lord of the harvest,
-
sent forth laborers, and that prayer
is answered because He sends people,
-
we disciple them, point them to Jesus,
teach them how to obey,
-
and He brings them together.
-
And all we have to do is say: Yeah, okay.
-
And the beauty of when you bring them
together, you stir one another up to
-
a good work. Because if you come together
just to eat bread,
-
you don't go out want to save the world.
But we have one girl in our fellowship,
-
we did two nights ago, she said:
When I leave here,
-
I am ready to take on the world,
because I know I'm capable,
-
because I've been poured into,
I've been edified, I've been stirred up,
-
and now I need to go out make
a disciple on my life.
-
And my eyes are open: Who is ready?
Who is hungry?
-
And that person then reproduces
in someone else's life.
-
If you have a group of 100 people
in a traditional church and you said:
-
How many here want to be a pastor
in a megachurch? Up with your hands.
-
Work, administration, money,
responsibilities, stress.
-
95% of all pastors are getting stressful.
Who wants that job?
-
But if you then say: Who can find one person
and lead that one person to Christ?
-
I also say it very clear in the book.
You already know them, very often.
-
When you say to people:
You already know them.
-
They are in your atmosphere.
They are in your network right now.
-
Ask God: Who is it?
-
Sometimes it's a total sinner.
Sometimes is a believer who needs repentance.
-
Sometimes is a repentant person
who needs baptism.
-
Sometimes is baptized person
who needs the Holy Spirit.
-
And when you give them the missing piece,
-
it's spreading and life is growing.
-
The question will always be, and I think
that is the challenge
-
and we need to keep it simple, but
many people always want to know in details
-
like, how do you do it?
Our focus is not so much how we do it.
-
Our focus is not the details.
Our focus is the person...
-
and how do you bring that person
to life.
-
- That's right. To maturity.
- Yeah, To maturity.
-
Say a little more about how does
your life look like.
-
How does your week look like?
How does it look like practically?
-
And also, when you come together
and meet? How does it look like?
-
The number one thing, for us, personally,
is that we like to teach people.
-
When you come together
as a community of faith,
-
the main difference in the traditional
setting of church
-
and the meetings in the homes is,
as Paul teaches the Corinthians
-
and instructs them:
everybody has something to bring.
-
So, in that case, if you're not prepared
with your intimate relationship
-
with Christ throughout the week,
then you have nothing to bring to our group,
-
and then we all lack because the piece
of the puzzle is missing.
-
And so, for us, cultivating an intimate
relationship with Christ throughout the week,
-
we have four children, we homeschool
due all these things,
-
but we also have to learn how to be
in constant community with the Lord,
-
listening to Him,
praying throughout the day.
-
I need to say something,
because we talked about that.
-
What is important, when we talk
about everyone has something to share,
-
is in the context of believers now.
-
Because the problem is church has been
a place where many non-believers come
-
and if you let everyone share
where they don't have the Spirit...
-
It can go like that.
So, when we talk about church,
-
God spoke very clear to you
about the wolf and the sheep.
-
Can you share that also?
-
We had just come back from Norway.
I was very sleep deprived.
-
My good girlfriend calls me and says:
I'm having my baby nine weeks early.
-
So, I go to the hospital, jet-legged,
but sometimes when you're very depleted,
-
you're very sensitive to the Spirit.
I hadn't eaten a few days,
-
I hadn't slept in a few days,
and I'm walking to the hospital,
-
and I literally heard in my Spirit:
the wolves were never meant to be
-
invited amongst the sheep.
And I'm like: Lord, if this is You.
-
I need You to tell me what this means.
-
And about a day later, we're in the same
town, he's staying in a hotel
-
a couple miles away, while I'm helping
my friend in the hospital,
-
and He said: what do you think about
non-believers being invited into the church?
-
And I said: That's what that meant?
-
And so I start to dig through the Scriptures
and like:
-
What does it look like, Lord?
What, first of all, is church?
-
And why are wolves are not supposed
to be in the midst of it?
-
And He said, He started took me to
the 1 Corinthians,
-
where he talks about the unbelievers
stumbling into the congregation.
-
And instead of, like, speak in tongues
and prophesy,
-
in hopes that man's heart would be
exposed,
-
that he'll repent and turn towards the Lord,
and I said: It said - stumble in,
-
not - invited in. And then I looked
at other scriptures that talk about
-
the church is for the believer to
come in and to be built up,
-
to be stirred up, to be equipped
to go out into the work of the ministry,
-
they share the gospel,
they evangelize,
-
and when that person receives the Spirit,
okay, it's safe to bring them in
-
and then equip them, and to edify them,
and to stir them up, and teach them
-
how to go out and do the same, because
if you invite all these different spirits in,
-
you've got a bunch of different spirits
entertaining each other,
-
that are not of Christ. And people get
confused of what is truly the Holy Spirit
-
and what is not.
-
What we want to see, what we really
believe in,
-
church is for believers come together,
edifying each other.
-
And there is so important to be edified,
that you need to learn
-
that everyone has something to give.
-
And you grow up and you build each other,
-
and the way you grow mostly is by giving
and doing.
-
And then you grow up.
-
If a non-believer... Let's say there is
somebody who invites a few people in,
-
it's fine, but then don't do what you
normally do.
-
Sit down with them. Share the gospel.
Say: hey, we have two people,
-
John brought two friends with him
today.
-
Hey, come in. Hey, hi! This is who we are.
This is what we are doing.
-
One day I came to a park, and a mom
was there, and the Lord said:
-
You're gonna talk to her.
So, I go to her. I started talking.
-
I said: Who are you? Who do you do?
She said: We've just moved here from
-
Delaware, because the Lord wants us
to start house churches,
-
or to be involved in one. And I'm like:
This is too easy.
-
She said: What do you and your husband do?
I said: Well, we start house churches.
-
And I said: We actually have one tonight.
You should come. So they came.
-
And we set them down, we broke bread
together, we took community together,
-
we sat down.
We said: Now, tell us your story.
-
And the whole fellowship's there.
-
And they shared their story.
I was 13, I got baptized when I was 14,
-
and I'm just kind of lived cool life.
I've helped in the church a little bit
-
here and there, my husband was
a youth pastor for a couple of years.
-
Now he is a construction worker.
-
I'm like: Did you ever received
the Holy Spirit?
-
And they're like:
What are you talking about?
-
And I said: Let us share our stories.
So, my mom shared her story.
-
She was in that fellowship.
-
You break the program and you focus
on them, where they are.
-
We share our story and then we get
into the Book of Acts 18 and 19,
-
where people had been repented,
but never received the Spirit.
-
And after that, they're like:
We have a lot to think about.
-
I said: Absolutely.
They're like: Can we read this first
-
and come back, and partake in
what you're talking about?
-
We said: Absolutely.
-
So, they did not receive the Spirit
that night, but they know
-
that they're lacking the Spirit.
And that they can't be for it
-
until they received the Spirit of God.
-
So, when they come back,
that'll be the next question: Are you ready?
-
It's for us to lay hand on you,
for you to receive the Spirit.
-
What I often do if we go to small setting,
I'm praying, God what do You want us to share?
-
But then, when you come there and
you see the people, sometimes you see,
-
okay, it's something else today.
Because those people came in.
-
Today it's just us. Let's break the bread.
Let's do what we do.
-
Because we are now together
to equip each other.
-
Now you have seen many fellowships
start, so your life is like
-
going from fellowship to fellowship
and help,
-
and some of them is now breaking
more off,
-
because they have grown to maturity.
Can you tell a little how does it look?
-
When we go in, our goal is not to make
them dependent on us.
-
It's, actually, give them equipping
and everything we can possibly do
-
to serve them, so they can get to a place
to where they are completely
-
dependent on Christ, the Holy Spirit
and each other.
-
And once they do that, then we want
to back off.
-
It's just like a relationship with
your children or parents and children.
-
Right? Eventually, you don't want
them to be dependent on you.
-
They need to be creating and starting
their own families. Same thing.
-
That could take three months with a group,
six months.
-
It came take over a year with a group.
It's different for every group.
-
So weekly we go in, Sunday to Sunday,
-
we meet with about five groups
right now.
-
There's two groups that are becoming
very mature
-
and so we only meet like once a week.
Once a month, twice a month, right now.
-
And so, eventually, they're actually
doing their own thing
-
and they're actually obeying Christ
on the weekly basis,
-
on the daily basis, living in holiness,
-
and they're multiplying on their own.
-
So, weekly that's what we do.
-
Somebody asked us the other week,
like, do you get exhausted with what you do?
-
I said:
We've cut out everything in our lives
-
that have nothing to do
with the Kingdom of God.
-
So, all that we have left in this life
is to pursue the Kingdom,
-
to seek first the Kingdom of God
and everything will be added to us.
-
So, our finances are added to us,
-
our endurance is added to us,
our strength is added to us.
-
and the ability to actually do something
that is bearing fruit,
-
not just in this life,
but in the life to come.
-
I don't want to go empty handed,
you know.
-
So, that's kind of what this life
has looked like.
-
It has Jesus provides, because we no longer
can work, because we're so busy
-
advancing the Kingdom. But He's
provided the home,
-
He's provided vehicles, He's provided
sum of income for us to live off of,
-
not so that we can become wealthy
and seek the things of this world.
-
This is the last thing I want.
I'm detached from that stuff.
-
But that I can still live, and there's
tools and resources
-
to advance the Kingdom of God.
-
When we look at Luke 10, where
Jesus said:
-
Don't take extra purse with you,
laborer is worth his wages, all of that,
-
you can testify that also?
- That's right.
-
And you actually don't need to have
a website and a ministry, all of that.
-
But the resources are often
in the harvest.
-
When we start to lead people to Christ
and start to see people build up,
-
there is provision, there are resources,
there is what we need.
-
And also, what they say, I think it's
important,
-
I talk much about church as a family,
-
now he is a young boy, you have
four smaller kids,
-
I have kids who are now 15 and 18.
And I have grandkids.
-
If we look all the levels,
there are times where there's more work.
-
There are times, of course, when
you don't get so much sleep in the night.
-
But, the whole reason we're getting kids
is not for them to remain like that.
-
It's to build them up. And then
there is time where you have more fun with them,
-
when you have fun with them and do
funny things,
-
and they are independent.
That can actually be of help.
-
Like your son is already helping with him.
-
And then there is time where I'm in,
where they are really independent, in many ways,
-
and you need to let go.
And it was hard with our son,
-
because I want to be with my son,
but I just know that
-
for him to be independent from me
I need to let go.
-
And the Bible says, we know
it's not good for man to be alone.
-
He needs to leave his mom and dad,
but I can turn around,
-
it's not good to be with mom and dad
for the rest of your life.
-
So, there is that letting go,
and now our son has his kids,
-
and I love our grandkids.
I miss them and it's so fun.
-
I'm in the funny place with my grandkids,
oh, they are so cute,
-
like him, and so on, but then...
(smelling a poop)... oh...
-
And then they care of it.
-
And I think, as it is in the natural,
we see it in the spiritual.
-
In the natural there is a period
of 18 years and they move from home.
-
In the spiritual, I think, it depends
on people,
-
it depends on the background,
if people come from very destroyed background
-
there is something, they need, of course,
deliverance, can happen,
-
but renewing the mind and building up,
it takes longer time,
-
or they come from another background.
But you say like a half year, a year,
-
and then they are ready to move on.
-
Oh yeah. If you're going too long,
there is no reproduction.
-
We would have to trust them.
This is the same as you...
-
If your children were 16 years old,
still living in your basement,
-
you would address that, because it's not
what's naturally supposed to take place.
-
If you have an apple tree out there
and it hasn't bore fruit one year
-
or two years, you start to prune it
down, you have to work with it,
-
something is wrong, if it doesn't continue
bearing fruit, or starts to bear fruit,
-
cut it down and plant a new one.
-
That's right.
-
That is biblical.
-
It's so beautiful to hear what God is doing.
I want to say that this is for everyone.
-
This is the call of Jesus.
This is what He has called us to,
-
is what He has called you to.
-
If you are a disciple of Christ,
to be a disciple is to deny ourselves,
-
take up the cross and follow Him.
-
It's to repent, get baptized,
receive the Holy Spirit
-
and being taught to obey everything
He has commanded us.
-
And everything is everything.
And this is what we see here.
-
And I really want to encourage you
to go for this and live this life.
-
