"Follow Me"

. 19 And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" 

This verse really struck me. It's really simple the way of ministry. ( and we all have a ministry) It's really simple. Just follow Jesus.

How do you do that? You spend time with Him. As you spend time with Him you get to know Him.  His presence is not only with you always but He dwells in you in the Holy of Holies in your resurrected spirit, as the new man in Christ. In those that have  shared in the new birth.

Take a moment to let that reality set in. Just sit and take it in. You never leave His presence. His presence never leaves you. Just sit still and be quiet. Open up the written word and let Him speak to you with it."those that seek they shall find." If you don't know where to start, start reading the Gospel of John, or maybe the letter to the Romans. The Psalms are a good place to begin reading and waiting on the Lord.  Then as you follow Him you will be "fishers of men". He will lead you in "paths of righteousness"

Remember this, the Holy Spirit doesn't play mind games. He does not play hard to get. In fact He is the "other Jesus". He is the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. He and Jesus are one. And, The Holy Spirit , Jesus , and the Father are one.

As we follow Him Jesus makes something out of our lives. Not some formula or a program some preacher comes up with. Our faith doesn't rest on a formula or program Our faith rests on Jesus blood and His righteousness. Don't get sucked in to somebody's program or interpretation of the Bible where they and they only have the true way.

All I'm saying is follow Jesus. If your not sure just seek His will in everything and He will let you know.

I'm really sorry to have run on, but to me Christian life is about fellowship. And part of that fellowship is sharing one with another. Most what I said above was from learning the hard way. Can you believe that?
