DISCIPLESHIP
Discipleship
is one of the most blessed ministries that a believer can
be involved with, but it is also one of the most neglected
areas as well. I have been blessed to be involved with
sharing my faith in a variety of settings for 35 years.
These settings have included places like Hollywood
Boulevard, LA beaches, the Rose Bowl Parade, parks, homes,
and laundry mats. One things is always constant in all the
people that I’ve talked with is the gross ignorance of the
plan of restoration that was originated by Adonai and
shared on Earth by Yeshua. It is a great blessing to be
able to share these eternal words with people and to
assist in their seeing the light of His truth. But equally
important is the opportunity to see these souls mature
spiritually.
Many people believe that
the work of discipleship is over at the point of
commitment to Yeshua. The truth is that this is just the
beginning. The path to spiritual maturity is a life-long
process that is in fact, a tremendous adventure. What
could be a greater adventure than discovering the nature
and ways of the Most High, who created all things? Not
only did He create all things but this magnificent and
incomprehensible being wants to have a personal
relationship with each and every person on this planet.
Discipleship, put in the
simplest terms, is getting to know our Father in all His
glory. The role of the person that disciples others, is to
guide another person into this knowledge of the Father.
They are facilitators that work in conjunction with the
Ruach HaKodesh to bring the specific plan that Adonai had
for that individual to fruition. Discipleship doesn’t
require one to have any particular degree but rather, just
the requirement to be able to share the knowledge and
personal experiences that they have acquired. Everyone can
qualify in this regard. Also, it will take a commitment of
time in order for the person being discipled to see the
truths of Adonai modeled before them. The benefit of
giving this time is the depth of fellowship that you will
experience and the joy of walking as your Father desires
you to walk.
If you are not afraid to be
open and vulnerable about your faith; and you are open to
learning and growing as you share your faith; then we
invite you to join the ministry of discipleship. We will
provide a variety of tools to assist you in this very
important ministry. We have short teachings that will help
you to give answers to difficult faith questions; we will
offer more detailed teachings on faith issues for your
spiritual growth and for the spiritual growth of the
person being discipled; and we will provide a means to
communicate with us regarding any questions that you would
like to have answered or to share with others any
experiences that you have had in the discipleship process.
We all need encouragement in this area so let’s team up
together for the glory of our Father.
Blessings in Yeshua,
Steven Goodenough
