Josh’s
Testimony was filmed live as part of the 5-Fold Ministers
Discipleship/Evangelism Gathering Session #9 As You Go....Heal the Sick
Discipleship/Evangelism That Works "Today" !!
What
is the most important part of Discipleship?
The
most important part of Discipleship is Commitment! Jesus could not have made
disciples had they not committed to follow him. The commitment Jesus asked for
was simple. Follow me! As people followed him they were discipled. They learned
to be imitators of Jesus!
The
strength of what we teach is also based on commitment! It is not as strong as
the 3 year commitment that Jesus required, but it has been proven very
effective. We have been able to effectively disciple a couple hundred people
over the last 3 years as a result of getting the following commitments!
We have found that, if a Christian will commit
to write out their testimony and commit to share it daily, that this commitment
sets the stage for the Holy Spirit to disciple them!
The
first thing we challenge people to do in our discipleship teaching is to commit
to write their testimony and be a part of a Real Life Stories Christian
Testimony Book or their own Testimony Flyer.
The
second thing we do is challenge people to carry 2 copies of the Real Life
Stories Christian Testimony Book or their Testimony Flyers in their
hand every time they leave the door of their home and every time they get out
of their car.
The
third thing we do is challenge them to ask the Holy Spirit to help them in the
giving away of the Testimony books
or Testimony Flyers!
The
forth thing we do is challenge them to practice what was taught in that
session. In session 2, we taught on As You Go: Hear and Obey the Voice of God.
The commitment to carry the Testimony Books or Flyers and the Commitment to
Hear and Obey the Voice of God, As They Go is joined with the commitment to ask
the Holy Spirit to help them. This sets the stage for the Holy Spirit to be active
in their life! If a person is always carrying the Gospel message with them in
the form of a Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book or Salvation Testimony and always
practicing Hearing and Obeying the Voice of God as they go, then they are
always trusting in the Holy Spirit to help them! This gives the Holy Spirit
total access to all their Time and Daily Life!
Sons and Daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God!
What
we accomplish during our 12 Discipleship Sessions is getting a strong
commitment from the person being discipled to allow the Holy Spirit to lead
them into Living a Witnessing Lifestyle!
When
the Holy Spirit comes upon us we will be His Witnesses! Watching the 12
Discipleship Videos is Good, but on their own it is not enough to make a
disciple! It is the joining together of the videos and the commitment to write,
carry and use your testimony that will help you to be a strong disciple of
Jesus! If you would like to know more about "Making Disciples" I
