To every one of his disciples, he says, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me”. Luke 9:23What does it mean to be a radically saved follower of Jesus? To follow Christ you have to get rid of stuff that trips you up. Only you can decide what that is.Your life is a journey. Maybe you are a recovering alcoholic or addicted to drugs or pornography. Perhaps you were in an abusive relationship or recovering from a divorce. Maybe you were captivated by a gay lifestyle because the devil manipulated you into believing lies. Whatever it is if you radically run towards Jesus you can have victory over the demons in your life.
You first and foremost have to be willing to see that Jesus loves you and he desires the best for you, and that includes freedom from things that take you away from him or try to justify sin.Are you ready to follow hard after Jesus?PRAYER: I am so very thankful that I can be set free totally from messes in my past. I refuse to entertain negative thinking and saturate my mind with things of the Lord. Thanks for forgiveness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
