Luke 8:22-25

Jesus won’t invite, He will appear to us and say: “Come with me” (Matthew 4:19) or “Go”. It will be usually a command or an imperative action. To go with Him, means to go from point A to point B, from one status to another status, from sickness to health, from death to life. There is no doubt, that He will keep His promise: no matter what happens, He’ll be with us (and I will be with you till the end of the world). 

To walk, to go, to change, to speak and all of these things have a purpose and a timing in His perfect plan. He won’t invite us unless He knows we can make it through. In every situation and every circumstance, we have already been empowered (look for the verse). Therefore, we shall have no doubt that the spirit that lives in Him is in us; through Him nothing is impossible. 

The boat can refer to the acknowledgement of the gospel and faith, safeness with Jesus; the water around the boat can refer to the bunch of problems, sins and internal situations. The air/storms can refer to external difficulties. All of these are in our path. We have no promise that it is going to be easy, or that as we are christians difficulties won’t come our way. We need to know that as we could drown in the sea, we could drown with a glass of water. Although we should have never left the boat in first case; life ain’t easy but our faith needs to be in Him whom water and wind obey. He shall surprise us with his power and miracles at the end. 

For me I am in a boat right now, I received his call: “Come to ignite”. The most important decision of my life; it was wether finish my 3rd year of engineering or get to this unknown camp. The only thing I really knew is that continuing with my life I was going to end no where. I came here to encounter Jesus, find purpose and live for Him. 

Application:

Write 2 calls of Jesus that I have missed because of fear.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Hebrews 11:1

It seems that for all our lives and during every phase, we humans actually keep on wishing, wanting, and expecting  for something to happen or to come up to. Most of us will be influenced by the circumstances in our lives and the words of other people. It seems that we are constantly under pressure and bombarded with things that we don’t  even expect; like if we would become the person that the circumstances are dictating or what other people  are saying. Our expectations of life and the desires or hopes of our heart are biased to the wrong way.  Hebrews helps us define what faith really is, if we pay close attention. It is faith that is what holds all of these points, letting  us know what really is going wrong is our faith’s direction. We have the steering wheel of our own faith, it is us who  decide where we want it to be anchored or to whom or what we rely it on.  During my life I have been always a dreamer, having life goals, and constantly looking towards the

Luke 21:19

While I was thinking of standing still, a soldier was illustrated in my mind. When a superior calls a soldier to stand still, the soldier must leave whatever he is doing and come up firming his body. Then he has an attitude of listener, because the superior surely has something important to say. After the superior finishes his command, the soldier must wait until he has permitted to “relax”.  We can take certain points out of this illustration. The soldier has attitudes of obedience, service, and discipline. Jesus is our chief in command and we are his soldiers, we have to fight for souls. As any soldier, we need to look sharp and in shape. Otherwise we are going to die. We shall seek Jesus daily to know him more and delight ourselves in Him; so that our faces can reflect Him. Our ears need to be sensible to His voice, in a battle of so much noise and action, confusing a command from a different source will have terrible consequences. Our most important weapon is His word, sharper
