FOUNDATIONS

When we pray to receive Yeshua/Jesus as our Lord and Savior a radical exchange takes place and we’re “born again” (John 3:3) into the Kingdom of God. (Col. 1:12-14)  We’re then like spiritual infants who need to grow into toddlers, children, teens, and finally mature adults.  Our maturation process comes through studying and memorizing the Word of God, while asking the Holy Spirit to help us apply the Word to our lives.

We’ll all go through hardships in life and it’s during those times that our application of the Word to any given situation will do a great work in us to mature us as God’s children.

On the Mission Discipleship website are missions (teachings) to help disciples grow and mature. Discipleship is a life long process.  There are no “quick fixes.”  The bottom line is that being a mature child of God takes a lifetime.

We’re here for you along your journey as you go and make disciples. 

When we first launched the website the Lord put seven topics in front of us as top priority “missions.”

  1. Love
  2. Worship
  3. Being a Doer of the Word
  4. Fruitfulness
  5. Fellowship & Community
  6. Destiny & Purpose
  7. Evangelism & Discipleship

This website has free resources on all the above topics…and much more. 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to carve out regular time in your schedule where you’ll be faithful to spend time with the Lord learning about these things and then sharing what you’re learning with someone else.

Grab a journal and prayerfully write down the things that inspire you that you’d like to share with others.

Here’s your first mission:

GOD’S PROMISES

God’s Promises

Our words have life-changing power because we are made in the image of God! 
God spoke creation into existence and so do we. . . 

As disciples, we must be attentive to every word we speak and stop making negative confessions over our lives. Not only that, we must combat the natural course of things (to move toward the negative) with the confession of God’s positive affirmations and truth.  If you let your lawn go without any care, thorns and weeds will grow.  It’s the same with our words.  So let’s start boldly declaring God’s promises over our lives, and the lives of our loved ones!
