THE "GO" OF UNCONDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION

September 28, 2017 & 2018

THE MISSIONARY’S “GO”

A series of preparation for fulfilling the Great Commission

THE “GO” OF UNCONDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION ~ Abandonment

“One thing you lack…

come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

Mark 10:21

From my interests to His interests!

Personal holiness; being a good person never causes Jesus to call a person! 

Wanting to be perfect like Jesus is a wrong reason to want to follow Him.

The rich young ruler had kept the commandments all his life and thought he merited reward…

Jesus gave him a very hard word that hit the truth of his heart. 

“Sell all…and come follow Me!”

It was not the young man’s goodness or riches that kept him from following Jesus…

it was his Love of them!

Jesus requires absolute unconditional abandonment. 

There can be no other allegiance to anyone or anything!

Very few of us know this life of following Jesus! 

It is not about salvation, but about unconditional identification…
“I am His!”

Those who follow Him, must go the road He went…it led to Calvary and death! 

It also led to Resurrection and a New Life!

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore if any man be in Christ,

He is a new creation; old things are passed away;

behold, all things are become new.”

“My sheep know My voice, and I know them,

and they follow Me.”  John 10:27

Lord, I do see more clearly about abandonment.

Absolute means everything that would keep me from my very best for You.

Thank You for making me debt-free and

for "the new thing" You are doing in my life.

I am excited about every day. ~Betty
