What ifs will get you. Peter had to address the what ifs.

He had to tell people that he did not follow fables, he followed what he saw and heard and is telling to us that we might believe it to.

He is so convinced about Jesus being God, he is about to die for it. He answered the what if's so that you do not have them.

Interceding for others is good, yet it also keeps you in the Spirit and keeps your fire going.

It is a ministry in and of itself if you have the will power for it.

While you are interceding please keep this ministry in your prayers.

Discipling, prayer teaching, Bible Studying, witnessing, testifying, praise these are all things that have fallen by the wayside.

We must rediscover the joy of our salvation and live it as AS we teach it.

Do you realize that this also applies to your Spiritual Children? They just do not inherently know to pray, praise, read the Word, it's not automatically instilled.

The Christian life is a habit, just like everything else you must work to make it work.

In Matt 6 Jesus teaches the disciples to pray.

In Discipling it is so very important that we teach by word and then we show how important it is by doing it ourselves.

Be the role model you would want to have. Be the Spirit filled leader you wished you would have had.

The power of prayer, do you show how much you believe in it? Or do you just talk of it?

The church is a church for an hour a week, after that? it is a building. The world can't find us, we do not reach out to them. No discipling or teaching.

Remember the Jesus movement? The movement of people searching for a way to worship but the church didn't do it that way so we let it pass by and eventually die out?

If we do not make a point of remembering, we will forget.

Make a memorial for others to ask you what is that date?

That is the date God delivered me from bondage and captivity.

The Garden loved His presence. Mount Sinai? Scarred to this day from His presence.

Oh the difference sin makes!

We are not facing death or jail time for witnessing. Yet we can not be compelled to do so for fear of a dirty look from someone.

How we have failed our God, our Savior by allowing them to shut us up, shut us in.

People are dying for Christ can we live for Him?

Israel messed up, Moses got angry, and the Israelites had to drink the golden calf
