It does COST to be A DISCIPLE of JESUS CHRIST

MAY 9, 2013 has come to teach me the power of HUMILITY without Humiliation; LOSS without Regret; FAITH without Favor and LOVE without Reciprocity.

TODAY, I can only PRAY Because of the NAME of JESUS.
BELOVED even though SALVATION comes at NO COST to us;
It does COST to be A DISCIPLE of JESUS CHRIST.

For 3 MINUTES; Let us NOW PRAY to the LORD such that a Resilient and Authentic Discipleship overtakes what has too often been
Recalcitrant.
Reluctant.
Reactionary church membership.

ETERNAL and SOVEREIGN SON of GOD;
Help us to endure this present suffering with GRACE and INTEGRITY.
Give us the Maturity not to repay evil with evil.

REFRESH us with Compassion and a Sense of Humor so that we don't become "weary in well doing".
Thank you for those who walk beside us to help hold up our arms.

Deliver us from senseless accusations, skillful misrepresentations, wicked rumors, familiar spirits and demonic assault.
In the NAME OF JESUS.

Provide for us a resting place along the JOURNEY.
Protect us from debt and financial distress.
Remove from us those persons who are parasitic, toxic, corrupt or reprobate.
In the Name of JESUS.

HEAL the wounds of those who have allowed "church hurt" to
cripple their faith, paralyze their gifts or deny their calling.
In the Name of JESUS.

Teach us what it means to "be angry and not sin!"
Grow us up GOD.
IN LOVE.
IN MATURE FAITH.
AND IN OUR PRAYING.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
