True Discipleship 01: The Terms of Discipleship

This is Lesson 1 in a series.  The class is based on the book True Discipleship by William MacDonald.  This is not a lecture/teaching class, but is more of a devotional time in which we allow the Lord to deal with our hearts.  We are reading the book together and take time to discuss, pray, and write down what the Lord is showing us. 
This first lesson begins with the first chapter of the book, where we look at some basic discipleship verses to find out what it really means to follow Jesus. 

Where the Spirit of the Lamb Comes Forth

We want Christ to come out of us, and the Lord wants that too.  If we ask Him for this, He will begin to put us into situations where we can release His nature.  It might not happen in the way we are looking for it to happen!  In my case, the Lord put me in a tight spot...

The Stilled Soul

How the soul spins up when the circumstances are unfair!  After this happened with Habakkuk, he was taken into the Lord's confidence and was privileged to hear a wisdom that mankind would not believe.  This caused his soul to react even more strongly.  But then something happened: he saw the Lord, and everything changed within him even though his circumstances did not.  What is this wisdom?  And how are we to come into alignment with the Lord?

Abiding in Christ When God Seems Absent

We have all experienced dry times when the Lord is not making His presence known.  We can still abide in Christ and enjoy the fruit that Oneness brings!  The other option is to break with the nature of Christ in us and trust our own judgments.
