I Am A Disciple of JESUS the CHRIST: Counting the Cost of True Discipleship

I Am A Disciple of JESUS the CHRIST: Counting the Cost of True Discipleship

In this Create A GOD Day teaching, I share the transforming truth of true discipleship—living with an "I get to" heart instead of "I have to" obligation. Many are called, but few are chosen to be disciples willing to count the cost and lay down their lives completely for JESUS CHRIST. Through Job's story (Job 1:21)—losing everything yet declaring "The LORD gave, and the LORD taketh away. Blessed be the name of the LORD"—we see what it means to worship GOD, not HIS blessings. The teaching addresses John 6, where many disciples turned away after counting the cost, leaving only 12 who understood: "The spirit quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63). True disciples deny themselves daily, take up their cross, and follow JESUS—not leading HIM, but following HIS every directed step. This is the call to lay down our lives for the brethren, advancing the kingdom daily with willing obedience. Recorded LIVE on 3/5/26

Willing Obedience: The Key That Unlocks Every Door

In this powerful teaching, I share the key that unlocks every door GOD has for us—willing obedience. Our flesh profits nothing, but GOD's words are spirit and life. Many want GOD's promises and positions but refuse to be disciples first. True discipleship requires daily discipline, denying ourselves daily and following JESUS. Like Jonah, when we run from GOD's call, the whole boat shakes—our disobedience creates cracks in our foundation. Through Jeremiah 1, GOD declares "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee" and commands "Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee." I emphasize Isaiah 1:19, the golden key: "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land." I share my personal testimony of choosing willing obedience when GOD said "you're done" with my business.

From Rebellion to Obedience: Unlocking GOD's Doors Through Faith

Deb reveals that obedience is the key to unlocking every door GOD has for us. Through Jonah's story, I show how a rebellious spirit led him to run from GOD's presence toward Tarshish instead of Nineveh. Even if Jonah reached Nineveh but sat on the curb without walking, speaking, or stepping—20,000 people wouldn't have been saved from their wicked ways. Our hearts can be deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). Flesh leads to disobedience and distraction, but GOD gives us a new heart to seek HIS will. In community, one person's disobedience creates storms that affect everyone on the boat. No matter the cost, we must trust the process—even when it doesn't resemble the promise. Walk by faith, not by sight. Ask GOD daily: "What is YOUR will for my life today?" Then be obedient in the little things—not just speaking it, but doing it. Transformation takes obedience.

Step Into Stillness: Discovering GOD's Higher Ways

In this transformative Create A GOD Day teaching, I invite you to "Be still and know that I am GOD" as we discover HIM in the quiet and stillness. True discipleship requires commitment: "To be a disciple, you are being disciplined. You are living a life that is disciplined"—not just doing your own thing whenever you feel like it. Drawing from Romans 12:1, I challenge believers to become "a living sacrifice, wholly unacceptable unto you, LORD." Through Isaiah 55:9, we're reminded that "as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Colossians 3:22 calls us to serve with "singleness of heart, fearing GOD." Step out of your comfort zone—that's living by sight. "Step in faith. HE will catch you every time." Main Scriptures: Psalm 46:10, Romans 12:1, Isaiah 55:9, Colossians 3:22 Recorded LIVE on 3/2/26

Laying It Down: From "I Have To" to "I Get To"

In this transformative Create A GOD Day teaching, I share my personal testimony of finally surrendering my marriage and husband to GOD after years of trying to fix and control everything. GOD asked me, "Do you trust me?" and showed me that last year I finally laid it down completely—without picking it back up. I confess how I blocked my own blessings by trying to be the savior instead of trusting the Savior. The message is clear: stop clinging to old seasons, old ways, and old wineskins. GOD pours new wine into new wineskins—we must walk as the new man daily. As disciples, we come after JESUS, deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. It's not about busyness—it's about intentionality, clearing the table, and asking GOD daily, "What is Your will for my life today?" We don't "have to" serve GOD—we "get to" walk with Him and watch Him redeem our time when we surrender all. Key Scriptures: Acts 2:46, 1 Corinthians 14:26, Romans 7 Recorded LIVE on 2/27/26
