Many believers have found their identity in a denomination, a label, or a doctrinal creed. But are you a disciple above all else, first? A disciple imitates his Rabbi, and is willing to follow in His footsteps even when it doesn’t make sense. We are called to be disciples of Yeshua, but how often do we find ways to do what “we want”, instead of doing what our Messiah did? How often have we fought against following certain aspects of our Messiah’s walk, simply because they don’t fit our personal paradigm or doctrinal understanding?
To be a disciple means to surrender what makes sense to us, to give up control of how WE think things should be done…and simply – without argument or debate – imitate Yeshua by doing the same things He did.
Yeshua began the process of bringing His Father’s Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven, and then commissioned us to continue this process up until His return as King. Will you give up control and step outside of your comfort zone so God can use you to bring His freedom and light?

PD, this message was very timely. I’m reading Watchman Nee’s book “A Life That Wins,” and he speaks of the same things, yielding to God and then believing. With man it is impossible, but with God, all things are possible. Thank you!
Praise God! Happy to hear it blessed you, Robin.
