Hebrews 13:7

In this life we can have three fathers. First we can’t be born without an earthly father, we can only come to life through a mom and dad. When we meet Jesus in our lives, God becomes our father and we His children. In this walk with the Lord it is important to have a leader. This leader is our spiritual father. As a father: he looks after us, taking care of whatever we are doing should be in God’s will and path. They have also walked more with Jesus, therefore they have more experience. This is important when we have questions or doubts because we can come up to them and have an answer. It is much better to follow someone who has already been through similar situations so that we can learn from them and don’t fall too. But if we fall God lifts us up and the leader is going to be there to support. The leaders won’t have a problem to share and pour out their knowledge to us, as they want us to grow with God as much as we can. So as when the time to call attention or encourage to change and do something they will wait in us obedience. What better than a obedient son/disciple, surely it won’t become a problem or a headache to the pastor. As sons/disciples we also need to have certain conducts towards them, such as: availability, being around, and obedience. It doesn’t matter how hard the leader tries to take care of His son, the son needs to be close and have a attitude of service to be able to grow. Overall humbleness in God’s calling and the leader’s example is what is going to make the job done. 

Application:

Talk to my leader about my situation after 6 weeks in ignite.

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
