Discipleship: A Return to Grace
Greetings!
It's me, Justin, celebrating God's call and the Lord's faithfulness...I'm very excited to share this word with you...thank you to those who have been praying for me in Christ! I'm just going to dive right in...
At Christmas, my pastor came to me, seemingly out of nowhere…one of those foyer encounters, and told me that the Lord had discipleship for us in 2011. So, of course, I started praying for confirmation and listening. The Lord is faithful. So I asked, Father, what do you have for us to do? Where do you want us to go? He made me wait…and in waiting…He called me to seek, to look and see all the ways and people he has been sending to me and working on me through and then He said, My child, this is what I’ve been preparing for us to do together…I trust He has already prepared the hearts of those who will join us in this.
I just left a powerful time of fellowship with some of my brothers and He just confirmed again and again, word after word, throughout the night…before I had even told them what He had put on my heart. So, I came home stoked out of my mind and couldn’t wait to send this out.
Grace and peace,
JNG
