I have been thru discipleship and have discipled hundreds over the past 20 plus years. I was not discipled by my Church or youth pastor; like most I heard a lot of "Good" messages and was told a lot about what was "Right" and "Wrong", but, as a youth, nobody took the time to make me look like they did...

Paul says in 1Cor 4:14-16 in other words, "we have a lot of good teachings or teachers, but know one who says, 'watch my life, do what I do and you will be Godly; you will look just like me – there is know one who wants to take the time to Father"!

What a great responsibility; as pastors, teachers, parents, mentors – we have to have the confidence, the conviction, the integrity to not just lead, but impart life! 1Cor 4:16 – "Therefore I urge you to imitate me." For some reason we think it is ok to teach a generation that it is about right and wrong, not life and death. That thru 1Cor 12, 13 and 14, Eph 4 and Rom 12 we have Manifestation and Redemeptive gifts and that we are responsible to demonstrate and edify the body of Christ with the "Gifts" that God gives us freely!

This past week in the Philippines I ran into 51 twenty - something year olds that, as a whole, had not heard many truths that are in the bible. This World race team that Lisa and I are coaching for the next 11 months are excited about what God is showing them.

Like dozens before them over the years; many of them the past few days came to me in tears... "my pastor, my youth pastor, my parents never told me that we have the responsibility to be Jesus on earth; that we get to receive and release the Kingdom of God, right now, today, every where we place our feet! I never new about Luke 10 and that I have authority over demons; I have to impart what I receive and get to do more then Jesus did"! "I never was told the truth about John 4:24 that true worshipers have to embrace Spirit and Truth".

After over 50 hours of teaching the word of God; after hours of sitting one-on-one, many hours of team and individual debriefs, demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit and a lot of just hanging out; they started to believe.

This generation just wants truth; they are sick of being lied to and they are looking for people that they can look like. Read Emily Rhea's blog – she wants to look just like Lisa! Look at Bev Rhoades blog – she received an impartation and now she is releasing it on humans that really need it!

Discipleship 101 – "Know God as I know God; believe what His word says and turn it loose on a sick and dying world" we might just get there...together...
