Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 211 – 1 John 4:13-17 – Given Us His Spirit – Growing As Disciples

And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.  Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.  All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God.  We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.  And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 1 John 4:13-17 (NLT)

Live In Me

You should have no doubt that I live in you and you live in me. Why is that? You have made a good confession. You have acknowledged my Son, Jesus Christ, as your Savior and Lord. You have welcomed Him into your life. You have left your old life behind. You have received His forgiveness of all your sins and cleansing of all your unrighteousness. You have been made clean. You have been filled with my Holy Spirit who is guiding the course of your life. You are now living the new life you have been given to live. You are allowing my word to change your heart and transform your mind. You are loving and following and serving me. You are thinking my thoughts. You are speaking my words. You are doing my deeds. It is your passion and joy to do what is good and right and pleasing to me. Do I need to say anymore? Do you have any doubts? Would you have chosen this way, would you have lived this kind of life, if it were not I leading and guiding you every step of your way? No, I could not have imagined or dreamed up the life I am now living. I am following you to where you lead me. I am going and doing all that you ask of me. And all of this I am doing willingly, under no compulsion, with joy overflowing my heart. It would be a true statement to say that I am placing all my hope and trust in your love. And day by day, you are changing me, you are molding and shaping me. You are making me to be like your Son. Do I wish my progress was quicker? Do I wish that I would be changed more instantly? Am I a little impatient with my progress? Without a doubt. But that does not diminish my trust in you. You are faithful. You will complete the work that you have started in me. I love you and look forward to the day that I will see you face to face. Then your work will be complete. Will that be a scary day? Do I fear judgment? Not in the least, because of all that your Son has done for me. He has made me righteous in your sight. He has helped me to become like Him. You do live in me and I live in you. Yes, I do. Yes, you do. Thank you, Heavenly Father. 

Heavenly Father, I have put all my trust in your love. You are my God. Your Son is my Savior and Lord. I will confess His name and all He has done for me. Thank you for giving me your Spirit and making to be like your Son as I love you with all that is within me. Amen

Key Question… What proof do you have that God is living in you and you are living in Him?

Living It Out… Put all your trust in the love of God as He makes you to be more like Christ.

Seeing It Happen…Have faith that God will make you more like Christ as you place all your trust in His love.

See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.  And this is what he promised us–even eternal life.  I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.  As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit–just as it has taught you, remain in him.  1 John 2:24-27 (NIV)

Been Taught

What have you heard? What have you been taught? What are you remembering? What are you putting into practice? How are you remaining in me? What will keep you from being led astray? What will keep your life on course? Why do you have no need for anyone else to teach you? Why can you be confident that I will teach you? You have asked me a lot of questions. Yes, but I have not overwhelmed you. I have not asked you questions that you cannot answer. Do you know why that is? Yes, I do. Tell me why you know that I have not asked you questions you could not answer. You have already taught me the answers to these questions. I’d like to hear more on this subject from you. Go ahead, answer my questions. You have taught me to remain in you. You have taught me to live my life in an intimate relationship with you. You have taught me to listen attentively to you. You have taught me to receive your instruction and follow your guidance. You have taught me to rely on you rather than on myself. I can trust that you will teach me. I can trust that you will guide me. You will keep my life on course. You will prevent me from going astray. I will not be deceived as I keep my heart and mind and life sharply focused on you. Why do I know all this to be true? This is what you have been doing for me as I have loved and followed and served you. Have I learned all these lessons perfectly? Have I made no mistakes? Have I taken no missteps? Have I not sinned against you? Yes, I have done all these things. Yet, you forgive my sin and cleanse my unrighteousness. You allow me to begin again. You keep on drawing me back to you. You draw near to me as I draw near to you. As I walk with you through life, you have been, are now, and will be my teacher. I have no doubts about you and your goodness to me. I’m listening attentively to you. I am walking through life with you. I am following you to where you lead me. I am doing what you ask of me. I am holding on to you as you hold on to me. Thank you for being my teacher. I will keep on putting your word into practice in my life. That is very good. You have answered my questions well.  

Holy Spirit, thank you for being my teacher.  I will hear, receive and learn all you want to teach me. Help me to remember and hold on to, and put into practice, all you have taught me. Keep my life on course, not going astray, as I love, follow and serve the Lord. Amen

Key Question… How are you listening attentively to allow the Holy Spirit to teach you what you need to know?

Living It Out… Listen attentively to the voice of the Holy Spirit teaching you as you love, follow and serve the Lord.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that the Holy Spirit will be your teacher as you love, follow and serve the Lord.

Get Ready To Share… Share with another person or your small group what the Holy Spirit has been teaching you.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 208 – 1 John 4:7-12 – Love Comes From God – Growing As Disciples

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.  But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.  God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.  This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.  Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.  No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.  1 John 4:7-12 (NLT)

Full Expression

That’s what I want from you. That is what I will do in you. That is what I will do through you. Alright, you have aroused my curiosity. What is it that you want from me? What will you do in me? What will you do through me? I will answer your questions more directly after I ask you a couple questions. What have I done for you? How have I demonstrated my love for you? You sent your Son into this world to live and die for me. He paid for my sins by His sacrificial death on the cross. He shed His innocent blood for me. He made it so I could be drawn to you to confess my sins to you. He made it so I could be forgiven of all my sins and cleansed of all my righteousness. He broke down the barrier that stood between you and me. He made it so I could give my life to you. He became my Savior and Lord. In Him, I have a brand-new life to live. He made it so you and I could live in an intimate relationship with you. He made it so your Holy Spirit could come to live and dwell inside of me. He made it possible for me to come to know and love and follow and serve you. He made it so I could become like Him in all that I think and so and do. This is what you have done for me. This is how you powerfully demonstrated your love for me. Yes, I have done all these things for you. Now, I am ready to directly answer your questions. By my Spirit, I have come to live and dwell inside you. By my Spirit, I am molding and shaping your life. By my Spirit, I am making you to be like me. So, I want my living in and through you to fully express my love to others. Just as I have loved you, so I want you to love others. I want my love that is living in you to draw others to me. That is what I want from you. That is what I will do in you. That is what I will do through you. Have I fully answered your questions? Yes, I have no remaining questions. That’s good. Will you allow me to love others through you? Yes Lord, I will. I welcome this good work of yours in and through me. That is very good.

Lord, thank you for loving me. You powerfully demonstrated your love for me by sending your Son into this world to live and die for me. You forgave my sins. Help me now to love others just as you have loved me. Help me to be a full expression of your love. Amen

Key Question… How has your love for others grown as you have come to better know God?

Living It Out… Allow God living in you to fully express His love to others through you.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that God will use you to fully express His love to others through you.

Get Ready To Share… Share with another person or your small group how God has used you to fully express His love to others through you.

Prayer To Bless Others… May you love others just as God has loved you.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 204 – 1 John 3:1-3 – We Will Be Like Him – Growing As Disciples

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.  Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.  And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3 (NLT)

I Love You 

Do you see it? Can you perceive it? Do you know it? You are going to have to be more specific. Do I see what? Can I perceive what? Do I know what? Do you know how much I love you? That is a very good question. I want to see and perceive and know how much you love me. Sometimes, I think that something is wrong with me, in that I don’t know how much you love me. It is the desire of my heart to know much more, how you love me. I have no doubt that there is no limit to your love for me. But my seeing and perceiving and knowing your love for me is muted and blurred, I could say it is not crystal clear. Let me ask you a question. I’m listening. You have my full attention. What is the best that I could do for you? If I could demonstrate my love to you, how could I do it? If you could ask me for anything, what would you ask? I would ask you to be my Heavenly Father. I would ask you to make me to be your child. I would ask you to help me to know and love and follow and serve you with all that is within me. I would ask you to help me to live in an intimate relationship with you. I would ask you to help me to hear your voice leading and guiding me through life. I would ask you to forgive my sins and cleanse my unrighteousness. I would ask you to make me as pure and as white as snow. I would ask you to be my Savior and Lord. I would ask you to make me to be like you, day by day, as I love and follow and serve you. I would ask you to one day, when I see you face to face, to make me to be just like you. I would ask you to have a place in heaven where I could one day come to live with you forever. You have asked well. Let me ask you two more questions. If I have been and will continue to do all these things for you, would you better see and perceive and know my love for you? Yes Lord, I would. Will I not do all these things for you today, tomorrow and forever? Yes Lord, I know you are doing all these things for me. Then your knowledge of my love for you is not as muted and blurred as you think. But you are correct, you do not see crystal clearly. But one day you will see clearly, when we meet face to face. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your love for me. I will wait with eager expectation the day when I will be completely changed in your presence. That is very good.

Heavenly Father, thank you for loving me and making me to be one of your children. Thank you for helping me to be more like Christ. It is my eager expectation that one day I will fully be like Him when I see Him face to face. Help me to be pure as He is pure. Amen

Key Question… How is your eager expectation of becoming like Christ helping you to be pure as He is pure?

Living It Out… Allow your eager expectation of becoming like Christ to help you to be pure as He is pure.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that you will become more like Christ now and continuing until that day you see Him face to face.

Get Ready To Share… Share with another person or your small group how the Lord is helping you daily to become more like Him.

Prayer To Bless Others… May your eager expectation of becoming like Christ keep you pure as He is pure.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 203 – 1 John 2:7-11 – True Light Is Already Shining – Growing As Disciples

Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before.  Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.  If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is still living in darkness.  Anyone who loves another brother or sister is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.  But anyone who hates another brother or sister is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness. 1 John 2:7-11 (NLT)

Love Others 

Have you heard from me? Are you listening attentively to me? Have you heard the message that I want to convey to you? Do you understand how I want you to think and speak and act in the darkness of this world? Do you know how I want to use you to break down darkness in this world? Do you know how to stand out and shine brightly for me in the darkness of this world? Before you attempt to answer any of my questions, there is something that I want you to know. What is that? You can see the darkness of this world by the way people treat each other. How so? You can gauge the darkness of the world by the lack of love and the amount of hate you can see in it. So now, go ahead, answer the questions that I have asked of you. It is my desire to hear from you. I am listening attentively to you. I do believe I have heard the message you want to convey to me. I think I do know how you want me to think and speak and act in the darkness of this world. How so? You want me to follow your example. You want me to think and speak and act like you. You want me to become like you. You want me to love like you loved. You want me to serve like you served. You want me to give like you gave. If I think and speak and act like you, I will shine like a star in the universe. By loving and serving and giving, I will stand out, I will be different, I will be countercultural. People will be drawn to you, because they will see your life being lived out in and through me. Is that what you want? Yes, that is what I want. That is the desire of my heart. I want to bear fruit for your kingdom and bring glory to your name. I want people to be drawn to you. I want people to one day come to live forever in heaven with you. That is true fruit, that will last for eternity. Yes, it will. Now, I know that this can only be accomplished by becoming like you, following your example, and doing what you did. That is true. That is what I will do, I will love others, with your help. That will be very good. You will have my help. Thank you, Lord. 

Lord, I will listen attentively to you. I will hear what you have to say to me. I will listen to your message. I will follow your example. Help me to love others just as you have loved me. Help me to love others and break down the unloving darkness in the world. Amen

Key Question… How is the love of Jesus Christ shining through you breaking down darkness in the world?

Living It Out… Make every effort to follow Christ’s example to love others, even those who seem unlovable.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that the Lord will help you to love others to break down unloving darkness in the world.

Get Ready To Share… Share with another person or your small group how you are extending love to seemingly unlovable people.

Prayer To Bless Others… May you love others and break down darkness in the world.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 205 – 1 John 2:12-14 – Word Of God Lives In You – Growing As Disciples

I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.  I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father.  I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 1 John 2:12-14 (NIV) 

My Word

What has been written for you? What has been sent to you? What message do I want you to take deep in your heart and mind and soul? You want me to know that you have forgiven my sins and cleansed my unrighteousness. You want me to know that you have secured a new life for me to live. You have charted a new course for me. You have made it my desire to love and follow and serve you with all that is within me. You have made it my delight to go and do whatever is good and right and true. You have made it my passion to do what is pleasing to you. Yes, this is all true. These are thoughts and words and actions that I want to you to think and speak and act upon.

Have I given you any instructions? How will you know if you are living your life according to my will? How will you know if your life is on course? What will help to run strong and finish well on the course that I have laid out for you? How will you be made strong and able to overcome attacks from the evil one? Most of all, how can you be sure that you will come to know and love me with all that is within you? You have given me instructions. You have made your will known to me. You have charted a course and laid out a map for me. Not a map, in the traditional sense. But your word is a roadmap of how you want me to live my life with and for you. What will you do with my word? I will meet with you in your word. I will listen attentively to all that you have to say to me. I will allow your word to live within me. What will my word do for you? Your word will guard and guide me. Your word will comfort and encourage me. Your word will keep me on course. Your word will help me to run strong and finish well. Your word will strengthen me and make me able to overcome every attack from the evil one. As I meet with you in your word, I will come to know and love you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. Yes, you will and that will be very good. Thank you, Lord. 

Lord, I will allow your word to dwell in me. I will take your word deep into my heart and mind and life. I will allow your word to change my heart, transform my mind and guide my life. I will allow your word to make me strong and able to overcome the evil one. Amen

Key Question… How are you making it your daily practice to allow the word of God to live in you?

Living It Out… Allow the word of God to dwell in you so that you will be able to overcome the evil one.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that the word of God dwelling in you will help you to overcome the evil one.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 202 – 1 John 2:15-17 – Do Not Love This World – Growing As Disciples

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.  For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.  And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. 1 John 2:15-17 (NLT)

Love Me

You have two choices before you. Just two choices? Yes, only two choices. What are my choices? You can love the world and everything in it. You can pursue comfort and pleasure. You can seek after awards and accomplishments and accolades. You can revel in the applause of others. You can try to acquire an abundance of possessions. You can be filled with pride with what you have and what you have accomplished. You can crave what you don’t have or haven’t done. You can be on a constant, never ending, unsatisfied search for more of the latest and greatest best thing. You can have your heart and mind and life entirely focused on this world and all it offers. Wait a minute, what you have already outlined seems like way more than two choices. I haven’t even gotten to your other choice yet. Everything I have outlined so far is part of one choice. I want to hear more about the other choice that is before me. That’s good. 

You can love me. That is my other choice? Yes, that is your other choice. Are the two choices in opposition to each other? That is a very good question. You can’t love me and love the world. They are two different desires. They are two different courses. One leads away from me. The other leads toward me. If you love me, you will draw near to me. You will come to know and love and follow and serve me. It will be your joy and pleasure to live a life of doing what pleases me. You will go wherever I guide you. You will do whatever I ask you. You will live and walk through life with me. You will live in my presence. You will hear my voice leading and guiding you through life. My hand will be on you. You will bear fruit for my kingdom and bring glory to my name. You will one day come to live forever in heaven with me. All of this is part of the other choice that is before you. I see, now the two choices before me are quite clear. What is your choice? You know my choice. You knew my choice before I was even born. That’s true. I still want to hear you say aloud, what is your choice. I will love you. I will follow you. I will serve you. I will live my life with and for you. All that I have, all that I am, all that I hope to be, is yours. I am giving myself to you, with all that is within me. That is very good. 

Heavenly Father, I will not love the world and all it offers me. I will not be filled with pride over what I have or have done. I will not seek comfort and pleasure. I will not crave what I do not have. Instead, I will love you by living a life that is pleasing to you. Amen

Key Question… How is your love for God putting an end to your love for the things of the world?

Living It Out… Do not love the things of this world rather love God and live a life of doing what is pleasing to Him.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith that God will help you to love Him by living a life of doing what is pleasing to Him.

Get Ready To Share… Share with another person or your small group how you are living a life of doing what is pleasing to God.

Prayer To Bless Others… May you love God and live a life of doing what is pleasing to Him.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 201 – 1 John 1:5-10 – Living In The Light – Growing As Disciples

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.  So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.  But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.  If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.  But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.  If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts. 1 John 1:5-10 (NLT)  

Fellowship With Me

Do you want to live in fellowship with me? Do you want to live in an intimate relationship with me? Do you want there to be no barriers between us? Yes, I want to live in fellowship with you. Yes, I want to live in an intimate relationship with you. I certainly do not want there to be any barriers between us. These are all passionate desires of my heart. I could want and ask for nothing greater than to live my life in an intimate relationship with you. How can this desire be fulfilled in my life? That is a very good question. There will be no mystery in the answer. When you gave your life to me, when you asked me to be your Savior and Lord, you told me that you would leave the darkness of your old life behind you. You said that you wanted to live and walk in the light with me. You said that you would keep your heart and mind and life focused on me. Yes, I did say all these things to you. Yes, and that was and is very good. Keep on leaving your old life of darkness behind you. Keep on living and walking in the light with me. Keep on focusing your heart and mind and life on me. Follow me to where I lead you. Do what I ask of you. I will do all these things with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. I will keep on loving and following and serving you with all that is within me. That is very good.

Now, there is one more thing that I want you to do. Name it, and I will do it. Come and confess your sins to me. Never think that you are without sin. Make it your daily pattern and practice to confess your sins to me so that you can receive the forgiveness and cleansing I have for you. Then you will live in an intimate relationship with me. Then there will be no barriers between us. Then you will live in fellowship with me. It will be my joy to confess my sins and receive your forgiveness and cleansing. That will be very good. 

Lord, a couple things are absolutely certain. One, I am a sinner. I have sinned in my thoughts, words, and deeds. To think otherwise would be foolish, self-deception. Two, you will forgive and cleanse me of my sins as I confess them to you. That I will gladly do. Amen
