How to Follow Jesus? Step 7

How to Follow Jesus?

Step 7:  Share Him & Serve Him

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19.

For I understand I will not be ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: 



Note: Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24. 

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 
1 Corinthians 15:58.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45,

You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. Deuteronomy 13:4.

Step 6: Love Him

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30.

How do I love God? With my entire mind. When I love God, I protect what I place in my Mind.

My Soul will be steadfast and loyal and always persevering. Not giving up.



Note: First, loving God requires knowing Him, and that knowledge begins with His Word. To know Him is to love Him. To love God is to worship and praise Him. 
It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. 

To love God is to put Him first. It’s an undivided love. God is our priority. If we love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, then we won’t allow other things to crowd in. 

Our love for God is manifested by loving people, but we do not love the things of the world. Earth has nothing to be desired.  

Its God that we desired.  We cannot love this present world and God at the same time (1 John 2:15); love for what the world offers can lead us astray (2 Timothy 4:10). 

To love God is to desire Him, to yearn for His righteousness, His Word, and His grace.

Step 5: Obey Him

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

Understand by accepting and doing and dwelling in his Love. Abide.



Note: Obedience is something that we do and apply with love; it is not nothing that is done to us.

It is written in John 14:15. “If you love me, keep my commands.

It is written in John 14:21. Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."

It is written in John 14:23. Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him

John 15:10

If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love.

It is written in 1 John 2:3. By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.

It is written in 1 John 5:3. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

It is written in 2 John 1:6. And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

Step 4: Believe in Him

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Understand a Believer puts their faith in the one they believe in by listening and responding.




Note: A Believer is a person who believes that a specified thing or someone is effective, with-out doubting.

Step 3: Listen to Him

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him, I am well pleased. Listen to him." Matthew 17:5.


He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Luke 11:28

Note: Listen- means to listen and to take in what you heard.

Jesus says Matthew 7:24, Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Step 2: Be a Person that Prays

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God. Luke 6:12.

Understand a follower does what a leader does.




How to Pray

Jesus said to us, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.” Luke 11:1-4


Note: Jesus taught, “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.

Step 1: Be Born Again

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. John 3:3.

Born Again- Means to become new. New Start

Note: Repent and turn around by Christ. Become New by Abiding in Christ.














Love God With All Your Mind

February 05, 2023

Love God with all your Mind- be careful what you put in your mind.

Protect your mind from unrighteousness. Always remember God lives in you and sin separates. Not everything is beneficial so don't defile your mind and don't affect your spirit.

Love God with all your Mind.

Quote: No One Knows What You Feel

February 04, 2023

 


No one else knows what we are really thinking or feeling.

It's easy to forget and important to remember this when you feel as though your lack of confidence is evident to others.

Jesus is My Lord

February 03, 2023

Reborn Again. I am truly alive. Away from the world’s misconceptions. I’m acknowledging the Lord, by hearing and reading the word of God with understanding and acting upon what I heard.


The Lord Jesus is with me. He saved me from the world’s delusions and corruption. Jesus is truth and He is the way of life, the life of substance, pure substance, and full of grace, Jesus is my Lord.


Jesus died for us taking our place in death, so we may live in His resurrection of righteousness. What do I mean by taking our place in death?


Because we had sinned (Past Tense for us who have been reborn again) and fallen short. Now through Jesus Christ’s resurrection of righteousness, I am now killing the means of sin.


Killing the means of sin. Yes, I am killing the means of sin. How? I am following Jesus Christ, Obeying his commands, and his righteousness. He is my coach. I believe in Him. According to his teaching, I will act accordingly.


Gaining life by losing the life that I once lived. What are you saying? Are you out of your mind Trey? You are gaining your life by losing the life that you once lived. Yes. I gained life by losing my life that sinful nature and the world’s misconception of life.


There is a way that seems right to mankind, but it is wrong and its leads to death and destruction. That’s the life I choose to lose. What I have gained is valuable and free by grace.


You. Why do you follow what you follow? Famous celebrity Idols of nothing, American dreams of nothing, useless activities of nothing. Wrongful acts of behavior of nothing. Machines and devices that can’t even love you back, that too is nothing, and anything you do without the righteousness of God is nothing.


Yes, What I have gained is the righteousness of Jesus Christ, which is valuable and free by grace. Yes. Jesus is my Lord, and I will follow him.


Sincerely, Trey Knowles

Everything Begins Now

January 27, 2023

Everything begins now. This is my journey. We don’t look back, we look forward. What do I look forward to? This question could be a mystery.

Why a mystery? Living on earth it's a mystery, but I look forward to the advent of Christ. This is my hope.

Living on earth is a mystery it totally impossible to understand. There was a time I thought I understood it, but I didn’t. All I saw were images of false idols and false living, learned behavior from television programs, and false perceptions taught to me from the world’s point of view.

At that point, I thought I understood the world because I became just as it was blind, at that time. I was really born into sin. Who is there to teach me? Who is there to save me? At that point in my life, I became a sleepwalker.

What is a sleepwalker? A person walking around that is not consciously aware of their sinful behavior. The direction of miss guidance. What am I learning in a school other than learning how to be a taxpayer?

As a kid, I knew nothing, without love there is nothing. I mean the true meaning of love. No one knows anything if not taught the foundation of love. It does not matter if Mother and Father are present. If Mother and Father don't know what love is, how can it be taught? If schools not teaching what love is, and the world is teaching that love equals sex. Then there is a problem.

At that time what was good for me became bad for me. The happiness of the world was lust. Love equals sex. A Hollywood tail of lies. What are we chasing in this world? There got to be more to life than money and sex which is not love but pleasure. The Idols of Hollywood gave me these lies. Age six, thirteen, twenty-one, thirty-three.

Who is there to save me, who is there to rescue me, I am lost. I am not dead yet. It is not too late. Is there somebody out there who is willing to show me the truth? God. Who became my Father in heaven. Teach me, Lord. I will accept, I will listen.

For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son whom he receives. God’s chastening is, at its core, His treatment of us as His children. For the first time in my life, I am being taught, and loved, guided by something that cannot be replaced once you have it. That is the love of the Lord my God Jesus Christ. He saved me, He saved me from death, with his life, and gave me his character and showed me grace.

What do I look forward to? Living for Jesus. Idolizing Jesus, Following Jesus. Everything begins now. This is my journey. We don’t look back, we look forward.

Sincerely Trey Knowles


 


What Are You Being Exposed To?

January 27, 2023

Have you ever wondered what is wrong with your government? 

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; Psalm 1:1  


Tobacco and alcohol use and abuse is witchcraft, sorcery from manufacturing companies who produce products of mind control witch craft of destruction. Increasing media messages and images is direct advertising, they are normalizing and glamorizing the use of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. This is like the Garden of Eve where Satan tempted Eve. We see that tricks still continue with deception.


Tobacco manufacturers spend $6 billion per year and alcohol manufacturers $2 billion per year to entice youngsters into consuming their products. Content analysis has found that alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs are present in 70% of prime-time network dramatic programs and half of all music videos.


 The prominence of alcohol in prime-time television applies to all characters, including adolescents, where negative characteristics are often applied. However, many adults shown to consume alcohol have positive personality characteristics. Popular movies, frequently shown during the “family hour”, often show the lead or likable characters using and enjoying tobacco and alcohol products. In addition to programming, children and adolescents view approximately 20,000 advertisements each year, of which nearly 2,000 are for beer and wine. 


For every public service announcement, adolescents will view 25–50 beer commercials. Research indicates that the combined 8 billion dollars that the tobacco and alcohol industries use every year to pitch their product to the American public has a significant impact on adolescents' beliefs and attitudes about smoking and drinking and may influence their consumption as well. 



Correlation studies have shown a small but positive relationship between advertising exposure and consumption. Furthermore, advertising exposure appears to influence initial drinking episodes which in turn contribute to excessive drinking and abuse. The evidence, however, of increased consumption, is strongest regarding cigarette advertising and promotions. A recent longitudinal study found that an estimated one-third of all adolescent smoking could be causally related to tobacco promotional activities. Your Government doesn’t care and why. Comedy and Public Speaker Trey Knowles explains why in his allegory comedy C-SPAN TV.

Protect Your Mind From Television

January 22, 2023

 Television Violence and Aggressive Behavior:


Young people view over 1000 rapes, murders, armed robberies, and assaults every year sitting in front of the television set or playing video games. Recently published, the three-year, National Television Violence Study examined nearly 10,000 hours of television programming and found that 61% contained violence. 


Trey Knowles


Children's programming was found to be the most violent. In addition, 26% (of the 61%) involved the use of guns. Portrayals of violence are usually glamorized and perpetrators often go unpunished. Another venue in which a significant amount of violence is portrayed is in rock music videos and Rap music, which are viewed heavily by adolescents. 


In a comprehensive content analysis of these music videos, DuRant et al showed that 22.4% of all rap videos contained violent acts, and weapon carrying was depicted in 25% of them.


Numerous studies, including longitudinal research, have shown a relationship between children's exposure to violence and their own violent and aggressive behaviors. Many studies have documented the role of television in fostering violent behaviors among children. Two recent meta-analyses investigating the relation between violence viewed on television and aggressive behavior in children concluded that exposure to portrayals of violence on television was associated consistently with children's aggressive behaviors.


This why Trey Knowles's Oratorical Message We Are Charging You With A Hate Crime is very important to watch. Love does not delight in evil. We must protect our mind's from what is evil.

Sanctification

January 19, 2023


Sanctification is God’s will for us to be set apart from sin. 


(1 Thessalonians 4;3).

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 

For God has not called us for impurity but in holiness.


Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.


Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.


 The word sanctification is related to the word saint; both words have to do with holiness. To “sanctify” something is to set it apart for special use; to “sanctify” a person is to make him holy. Be devoted to God.


Disconnect from sin: To live a sanctified life, you must disconnect from sin. Sin will never go on its own. If you don't rise up against it, it won't go. You can wait from now till eternity for sin to go; but until you rise up against it, it won't. This is because it is determined to destroy your destiny.
