Being a real disciple, .........
So, first..... lets qualify "REAL"
Everyone who is born again, has become a disciple.
This is like, everyone who has joined the army, gets a uniform, and learns how to march.
A disciple of God and Christ, "works out their salvation", not to stay saved, but because you already ARE SAVED, if you are born again.
So, to work it out, is to learn the spiritual principles involved regarding being born again into the Kingdom of God.
To be REAL., as a disciple, is all about utter devotion.
This is a disciple who is sold out, 100% committed, .... all in.
This is a disciple who filters thoughts all day long, and is available to God at all times.
This is a Christian who understands that TIME is LIFE, and if you are wasting your TIME, you are not giving it to God, which is to waste your life.
Reader, do you ever think about what you are thinking about, and filter it through the idea that God is in you, watching you from the inside where your motives and intent live ???? And we are to please God with all of us, including what we THINK about and what we don't allow ourselves to think about.
Are you THERE?
Is that your mind? Are you controlling your thought life ?
You should be in that mind from the day you are born again till the day you get your new body, as a REAL disciple filters choices all their life, day by day.
Choices like, "what am i thinking about right now, and why".
This real disciple makes practiced discerned decisions regarding what they do& what they think, .....all of this, based on holiness, love, and pleasing God.
This MIND should be in you, and turned on, all the time.
Let me give you a little cleaner thought, that will show you something that will help your holy walk.
Its this..
God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, are IN YOU.
Right now.
What does that mean?
It means that if you watch porn, they are right there also.
If you watch filthy cable TV, ........then realize that God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are right there with you, while you do.
So, we have to realize that if we get into some darkness, then we are taking God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit into it with us, every single time.
Are they pleased?
Are you making them happy, if you do that to them?
Give that a few thoughts as It'll do you good the next time you reach for that "R" rated movie that has your favorite actor in it, or that "Rated MATURE" TV show that is going to have some sexuality in it, same as the last 50 episodes.
God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are right there IN YOU< should you turn on that program or look as SITES online that are not for God's EYES, nor Yours.
Do you have a position, job, or similar, that allows you to be any type of administrator? Do you ever use this position to do something spiteful, or hateful, or vengeful, knowingly..... to someone you dont agree with or you don't like?
If you ever do this to a born again child of God you have just done it to Christ, who told you that what you do to the least, you have personally committed against Him.
Who are the "least"? Its everyone who has no ability to stop you.
Be careful of playing that game, as Jesus will rebuke you for it .
Fair warning.
So, a REAL Disciple......will find you """in the world but not of it."""
Saint, if you are real.... then You're not going to fit in, and you will be made to feel that you are the problem.
And the reason that happens, is because The world is Dark, Spiritual darkness, and wants it that way, and we the born again are LIGHT.
Light, possesses Heat.
Heat in the Kingdom of God, is righteousness and conviction and truth.
The world wants none of this. The world wants to bathe in decadence and pretend its moral.
The world wants 2 "married" homosexual men to adopt baby boys as a "civil right".
The world presents wrong as right, and dark as light.
Spiritual Darkness is the Devil's Light.
And Jesus gives us a warning that is found in Hebrews 13:9
Jesus tells us to be careful that the light that is in us, is not darkness. Luke 11
This means that a believer can become deceived, and their deception to them, is the truth.
That's a bad situation, and a difficult one to escape.
