Christians Being True Disciples of Christ in all Walks of Life!holy spirit, faith, LOVE, christianity, mercy, wisdom, salvation, truth, Jesus Christ, bounden duty, thank God, the BIBLE, unspeakable truth, catch our second wind, the power of the Holy spirit, halfway home, Wednesday Wail, to a glorious future with Jesus, not looking back at the past, not turning back, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, a personal relationship with Christ, disicples, so glad to be alive, hands on the plough, eyes fixed straight ahead, fishers of men, of the glory of God, to give the light of knowledge, the excellency of the power may be of God, the breath of life is still flowing through me, take up his cross daily and follow me, is not worthy of me, in the face of Jesus Christ, our second wind day, endure to the very end with Christ, our wonderful position in Christ Jesus, we preach not ourselves but Christ Jesus the Lord, the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us, a theological basis for holy living, an earthen ware jar depicts humanity in its weakness, the gospel is not a product of human genius, humanity in its strength, he that taketh not his cross, followeth after me, doing good work for Jesus, a dedicated learner, a student, one who tries to live according the the teachings of a leader, living according to the teachings of Jesus, a committed follower of Jesus Christ, Chrisitans striving to follow Christ's example, embracing whatever challenges that come our way, a custom for the condemned man to carry his cross, Jesus anticipated His mode of death, Jesus wanted a personal relational community, observe his way of life, Jesus trained the disciples to preach and to teach, to share the message of the kingdom of God, empowered them to heal the sick, to cast our demons, visible signs of God's work, to become fishers of people, drawing people to faith, to build the foundation of the church, the twelve tribes of Isreal, eyewitnesses to Jesus' resurrection, future leaders of the church, carry the Christian message worldwide, share the message of His good news, do extraordinary things in Christ's name, fish for people wherever we are, Jesus picked ordinary flawed people as His disicples, God works through unexpected people, flawed people like you and me, ourselves your servant for Jesus' sake, commanded light to shine out of the darkness, shined in our lives, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, today god dwells in the believer's heart, our bodies are not our own, we have been bought with a price, our bodies are the temple of the Holy spirit, live to glorify God in our bodies and spirits, the earthenware Jar, the gospel resides in men of clay, humans are fragile and brittle, experience an even more glorious future than we can ask or imagine, be wise and stick with Jesus to the end, the wisest decision a human being can ever make, being a true disciple of Jesushttps://randyobrien50.com/2026/09/15/the-overwhelming-importance-of-christians-believing-that-christ-is-strong-enough-to-help-them-overcome-persecution/SCRIP-BITSen2026-09-15T19:25:10+00:00The Overwhelming Importance of Christians Believing that Christ is Strong Enough to Help Them Overcome Persecution!holy spirit, faith, LOVE, christianity, mercy, wisdom, salvation, truth, Jesus Christ, Christians, the Great Commission, worry, the BIBLE, one of those days, easier said than done, Christ's ambassadors, make disciples of all nations, in god's eyes, hurry, Tuesday Mantra, the beloved of God, trust my friend Jesus, a true Christian, have overcome them, go ye therefore and teach all nations, teaching them to observe all things, lock stock and barrel, share His love with my neighbours, whatsoever I have commanded you, lo I am with you always, share the amazing love and friendship of Christ, come to know and love christ like we do, baptizing them in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost, letting all and sundry know to whom we belong, ye are of God little children, greater is he that is in you than he that's in the world, the time cometh, feeling like the weather, the indwelling strength of Jesus, stand steadfast and persevere, the decptive devil, surrender to his evil wiles, Jesus is indeed stronger than the devil, these things have I spoken unto you, ye should not be offended, made to stumble, cloudy skies trying to suppress the sunshine, put you out of the synagogue, whosoever killeth you, will think that he doeth God a service, Saul watched them stone Stephen to death, Saul was consenting unto Stephen's death, persecution against the church at Jerusalem, the people were scattered abroad, devout men carried Stephen to his burial, made great lamentations over him, Saul made havoc of the church, when they persecute you in this city flee to another, haling men and women, dragging of men and women, committed them to prison, those scattered abroad, went everywhere preaching the word, till the Son of man come, Philip went down to a city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them, the people with one accord, gave heed to what Philip spoke, there was great joy in that city, persecuted Christians didn't run and hide, keep their mouths shut, today's Christians are afraid to talk about Christ or His word, in fear of the unbeliever's reaction, too focused on their own comfort, be it sinner or saint, broached the topic of Christ to anyone, help bring unbelievers to Christ, unworthy of the name, responsible for administering Christ's earthly kingdom, advertises Christ both in word and deed
