Short and not very sweet today guys. God is burning it in my heart for us to draw closer to Him than ever before. These were the instructions to the disciples (us) as Jesus sent them out to minister. This is what is required of us. Read it carefully.
MT is a powerful passage of scripture. We have to take all that God has told us and let people know. God uses everything in our lives for the good of His message if we will allow Him to. Don't fear people or the devil, we've already established the devil has absolutly no power over us. He goes on to say the sparrows have almost no monetary value and yet nothing happens to them that God doesn't know about. Believe me God cares more about you than a bird...trust Him. VS 32-33 tells us that if we deny Him before man He will deny us as well. We can't be ashamed of Jesus and expect to sneak in the back door of heaven. You think that's a strong statement? Keep reading. It tells us that if we put anyone, even family, before what God is telling us in our lives...we are not worthy of Him. Life is not what YOU make of it. Life is what you allow GOD to make of it. If we are not willing to give up everything for Him why bother pretending to be a follower at all. Yes, it means denying ourselves...He told you that! So you're either in or your out, it's up to you!

Matt 10:39 “He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.” This is what it is all about. We must kill our fleshly ways to find new life in Jesus. To be born again in him. I know this is not a quick, painless process but it must be a process, a journey that is constantly moving forward. Some times we go left or right but let’s all keep moving forward. As I like to say “Jesus take the wheel” It might be a Carrie Underwood song but its true, let him be in charge, have control, drive the bus. It doesn’t matter which bus your on, just relent and let him do the driving!
