Notes
Transcript

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

PRAY
something i have always struggled with and if im being completely honest where i battle the most what gets attacked the most is my calling, now im not talking about being a worship leader, or a wife or mother or teacher, im talking about being attack with my purpose, my existence as part of a church body, there are times that we put in the work but don't always see the fruit, there are time where we give people our whole hearts and try to give them all of Jesus with in us but for what ever reason they still choose them selves or their sin.
as of lately I really struggled with how could someone know Christ and still chose sin or how could someone know how much Christ loved them enough to die for them and steal not choose Christ.
MARK

15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

as i was preparing for today the Lord told me a couple of things.
one of those things is( preach the gospel to yourself) when you are down when you feel like the work is heavy when you feel like everything is crashing down all around you preach the word to yourselves
throughout the bible you have God and even now constantly having to remind us we are still in need of Him, because we are flesh we are in need of constant reminder of Who God is and what He did for us in order that we could have eternal life.
preaching the Gospel to ourselves takes the focus off of our problems and situations and on to The cross
MARK

14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

the second thing the Lord told me is to not allow your faith to be weaken, we can not focus on God if we don't fully believe in him Jesus said it many times that in order to be saved we must repent and believe it requires faith to receive the free gift of grace, and it requires you to repent to receive Mercy.
now grace is getting what we don't deserve and mercy is Not getting what we do.
Matthew

37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

the third thing is and I'm sure husband will touch on as well and that's that in order to fulfill the calling you must please God by keeping his commands
what are Gods two most greatest commandments
Jesus showed the best example of this He loved the Father he was obedient regardless of what was asked he know what had to be done and he knew what had to be carried out, he was in complete submission to God, even as He himself was full God and fully Man. He knew that he had to die in order for us to be forgiven of sin in order for us to be able to have life abundantly an eternally life with Him. He rose again not leaving us alone or with out but leaving us with The Holy Spirit, someone who dwells with in us and gives us a heart to love people in ways that we were never able to before, so before you get caught up in everything going on around be at peace with Jesus being enough be at peace with him in full control trust God know that he who started a good work will bring it to completion
be at peace that God will work everything out, he is the author and the finisher
focus on the Him
follow him, strive to be like him, obey him most importantly love him, and make disciples, this should be the root of every ministry, this should be at the root of every heart to be pleasing to God by obeying the greatest two commandments love God and love people.
Matthew

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

as we go out to preach the gospel and teach the gospel,Jesus says in verse 20 that they observe all that he commands us, they not only need to hear but also observe us doing them as well, we should be walking out our faith for them to see. Jesus also commanded us to love God, with all out heart soul and mind. and to love your neighbor.
John

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

as we become more obedient to the Lord and learn to walk in His ways, our lives will change. The biggest change will take place in our hearts. The change we seek is done from the inside out, though the power of the Holy Spirit. we start to become less self-centered and more Christ-centered.
we are to share our faith and tell nonbelievers about the wonderful changes Jesus Christ has made in our lives, No matter what our maturity level is in our Christian life, we all have something to offer. So many times we believe the lie that we don't know enough or haven't been saved long enough to make a difference, but that is far from true. when we first got saved and experience the love of God we couldn’t help but tell everyone what had happened, we probably didn't know a lot of the word or what the bibles tells us but we had experienced the love and freedom of our Lord and savior, and that is what we need to share, we found that we were all sinners, lost in need of a savior and then we were found. i get reminded of

12  Restore to me the joy of your salvation,

and uphold me with a willing spirit.

I need to pray at times, Lord let me remember the joy i had when i got saved and help me just share that if i cant share anything else. people can say what they want but no one can take the experienced you got when you first felt the love of God.
one thing that would always get me down is the sin i would struggle with and the temptations i would get , i would tell myself im not worthy to teach or even preach, like im the last person to do any of those things, it would hold me back and i felt like my calling needed to be lesser then that. but i heard a preacher say “ don't let your compromise keep you from your calling, get rid of the compromise and go for the calling” (REPEAT) God has a calling in every single one of our lives. to teach or to preach but most importantly is spread the Gospel. Hebrews

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

let us lay aside every weight, every hindrance and sin in our lives and run the race set before us and most importantly keep our eyes on Jesus, because then we will never be led astray, he will never leave us nor forsake us, so if and when we slip and mess up because we all do, let us get back up and keep running the race till the finish, let us also help one another too, we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, look around at your brothers sisters let us love one another and help each other if we fall. John

35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
