Week One Mar 11 2025
Sisters and Brothers in Christ, this is a simple message, put simply, plainly, prayerfully not perfectly. "So if you read this to get perfection, oops, you'll miss mercy" . Sure, you can think on that, but meanwhile we are being ushered by Holy Spirit to leave Smoky Mountain. Horeb is an experience of eyes being opened. Prayer is just one way, they are. Prayer builds into it the term "Next," which is God 101 for anybody wanting to disciple to Christ. "GO" in Matt 28
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
is poreou, pronounced, por-yoo'-om-ahee, it means depart from, way, WAY, different than leave. When you depart you know where you are, when you leave where you are isn't the issue, you're leaving. Depart means you carry with. Disciples who make disciples carry Jesus to people and help them learn to depart. Departing isn't easy- no matter what we think we know, departing is never easy. Wish we had more earth time (catch that?, you're eternal, lost folk are too, as Pastor Terry Hughes has made clear (He's on YouTube check 'm out) we need to share a great joyous eternity with them) to delve more into this, but Holy Spirit is on me to hear Him, obey Him, honor Him, follow Him, be devoted to Jesus, love God and prayerfully get your engines running. Maybe you're well educated, don't let that stop you. Maybe you are short on time, don't let that stop you. Maybe you have a flock of thousands, don't let that stop you. Maybe you're pursuing wealth to bless others with that gift from God- don't let that stop you- follow the Word, Jesus gave it to you for that reason. Matthew 4 18-22. Read it.
Note- where Jesus is, note that in terms of, who's there, oh we seldom consider the people around Jesus, what is going on, it's not ever just fishing, when is it happening, mornings are different than mid day, these are desert folk- they stir when? Note those items about vv. 18-22 prior to proceeding.Regard who Jesus is, as who Jesus is talking to, my feeling is your first inkling is them, true, but He is talking to you.
Write down what you believe is happening. My sense is your first impression will be the gospel image, but the canvas my loved ones is always larger- hence our area of bringing disciples starts small and simple, but read Matt 28:20
Note when in Jesus's ministry this happens- it's not the first item, is it?
Now prayerfully seek why?
This might shock you, be sure to notice- they're brothers- there are four of them.
This might throw you, but, it's about focus- put a dot on the wall, put rat shot in your shotgun, back off twenty feet, shoot at the dot, you might hit it. Take a .45 caliber don't back up, shoot; are you gonna hit the dot? Focus- 4, four initial disciples. Four, so Holy Spirit is laying on your heart, right now, four. Write their names down. Pray to Christ over them.
You've been shown you're first hermeneutic fundamental, "sitz em lieben"
German, life situation. Simply is 5 friends, who, what, when, where, why/how. In giving these friends to people, bad uninformed, limited thinking teachers (Probably why James says 3:1) fail to point out, wwwww, is a matrix- thus:
W- wwwww
w- wwwww
w- wwwww
w- wwwww
w- wwwww
W- wwwww
w- wwwww
And so on, see the pattern? Of which each main element, then is applied the five w's again, and again of each until the main element no longer will support sub elements, they've all been asked and answered. Is this tough- you bet it is, will you get to know Jesus more deeply?
Do you we, need to?
Next week we'll take it deeper if you'll allow such and my prayer back to Holy Spirit in our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth is, that you'll prayerfully do this. His promise to you is, an amazing, absolutely amazing journey into Him, Jesus; Who we confess our sins to, repent of them, and Go! Obsecramus Christ emphytos tora in suus muneris Amen
