Disciplers

     When you walk with God as your Heavenly Father you need to pray about your choices. It takes awhile to get into this pattern of thinking but it is essential.
     The world has many preachers but it needs more "Disciplers", I'm making that word up but I don't really know any other word that would fit what i'm trying to say here. There are many people that tell the unbelieving world that they need Jesus, but they don't tell them what to do with Him once they have Him.
     I'm not telling all of the things that you need to do with Him now, but I am telling you that you need to take your life to Him in prayer. Not part of your life, but all of it.
     When you choose to believe in Jesus and to be His follower that means that you have moved into a new realm. You are no longer in the realm of the world, you are now in God's realm! You probably will think one realm looks a lot the same as the other, but that's because it's a change in the spirit part of life not the physical.
     We are spirit beings with a physical body (quote from CS Lewis, because I can't say it any better!). You have to accept that or how can you truly accept Jesus? With that understanding covered, you are now ready to see that you are in a new spiritual realm! and now the Holy Spirit has come to live within you. The Spirit has not come to just walk with you, but to actually live within you! How amazing is that?
     The next thing to try to grab hold of and understand is that you are a "work in progress", you are now a disciple of Jesus. The definition of disciple is "a person who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of another; follower". So your job now is to learn the doctrines of Jesus, and follow them!
     That brings us back to needing more "Disciplers", we need more people that are helping others in their pursuit of following Jesus.
