DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS

DISCIPLESHIP BYTES Can we learn to hear God's voice more clearly? Jesus, our Lord, is the perfect example. He did nothing on His own initiative, He only did the Father's will. (John 5). Whatever He saw the Father doing, only that He did. He heard the Father speak and spoke only what He heard. For most of us, this kind of experience is next to impossibility. But this is exactly the kind of relationship the Lord wants us to have with HIM. The problem is not on His side, but it is on our side, we have not developed a closeness with Him. (John 10, Heb 5). We would rather be close to people than to HIM. We would rather be religious than relational with HIM. We would rather prefer to attend gatherings multiple times in a day than spend time in His PRESENCE everyday seeking to KNOW Him. We would prefer prominence than His PRESENCE.  It says in Exodus 33:11 "And the Lord spoke unto Moses face-to-face, as a man speaketh unto his friend." Moses was so desperate for this kin...

  DISCIPLESHIP BYTES How did the Ecclesia grow series Acts 2:6-8 "Master are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time? You don’t get to know the time.

The SECRET POWER for fulfilling our divine assignment was given - it was not a date of His coming, a strategy, or more knowledge, but it was the BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT . The ONE THING we as an Ecclesia need the most is a deep hunger for the BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT . HE is ENOUGH. HE empowers us for our ASSIGNMENT.

DISCIPLESHIP BYTES The purpose of GRACE is not only to bring us into PEACE with GOD and to give us the GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS. More importantly   GRACE gives us ACCESS to the RICHES of HIS GLORY within us, so that we may EXPERIENCE His indwelling life. CHRIST in us, the KINGDOM of GOD within us should increase our EXPECTATION for His PRESENCE to be MANIFESTED through our lives. ( Romans 5:1)

DISCIPLESHIP BYTES Do you know that waiting in SILENCE and fixing your eyes on the Lord can STRENGTHEN you? We are familiar with Isaiah 40:31. However, as we continue reading into Isaiah 41:1, we discover the SECRET of the SECRET PLACE : waiting in SILENCE  before the Lord . Discover and PRACTICE waiting in HIS PRESENCE in SILENCE. It is here that deep intimacy with Him is cultivated.
