Problems and Solutions in Discipleship: Part II
Frank,
I just listened to the first two free messages of your online course: I surely wished I had heard such messages about the indwelling life of Christ long ago! These messages are very exciting and ignite a passion/fire that wants more of what the Lord wants to reveal! I will be recommending this course to others as this is a great tool to help the brethren gain a deeper walk with Christ.
When I left the church system, I was not all that concerned about getting the “ways of organized religion” out of me, since I had been balking at them to begin with: but I did not recognize that I was living mostly from the tree of good and evil. Thank you once again for hitting the ball out of the park! This is a great game changer and I appreciate all the time you put into these messages!
Best regards, Linda
Frank,
What I love about your Living by the Indwelling Life series is that Jesus takes center stage in the world and in our lives as He should. I am learning to live by His Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in me which is Christ in me. I am beginning to understand how to how to live the Christian life by letting him live in me. It is not about trying to be like Jesus or living up to some holy standard in the written word but relaxing and letting Him live His life in me moment by moment. In other words, there is a way to be set free from the mindset of self-effort and learning to discern and follow the leadership of the Spirit. This is how Jesus lived daily discerning His Father’s voice and followed Him. He seemed so relaxed in His earthly life, because He did not operate out of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil(self-effort)but in His own words, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever the Father does the Son also does in like manner.”
This is a more enjoyable journey for sure.
