Jesus replenishes!

Let go, and receive!

Mark 10:28-31

²⁸ Then Peter began to speak up. “We’ve given up everything to follow you,” he said.
²⁹ “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, ³⁰ will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life. ³¹ But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

Jesus said if you give up your property, and family for Jesus and His kingdom, He will replace it now, on earth.. He will provide you with new people and property that replaces the things that you had to let go in order to follow Him better, to love Him more, and to do His will.. You will also receive with that persecution but that doesn't come from Him, that comes from the world. That comes from you taking that leap faith by really giving up your life for the sake of Him.. Once you take that step, be ready for both. Satan doesn't mess with people who are half living for God. Half in the door and half out of the door. He messes with people who are messing with him. Who barged through the door ready to get in his face..Ready to throw darts back..

Its like laying everything you have down at the foot of cross, at the altar because Jesus means that much to you. Jesus even said, you must bear your own cross in order to be a true disciple and follow Him with your heart and will. If you were to give everything you have up that doesn't line up with God in order to follow Him, would you? 


I say think it over, but if you are willing you have to do this with your heart. You must give up everything with your heart and will with pure motives.. Jesus is worth what you have, He is worth you sacrificing it all, He is worth you breaking down your strongholds.. He will give you an entirely new life, a new heart, a new family, a new spirit, a new freedom in Him, and will provide all you need..

This is why so many different Christians are on different levels in their walks.. Everyone starts out the same, but faith isn't just where it starts.. Its the entire process. It really matters at where you end. That is fighting the good fight.

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

Jesus said it, I didn't.. There will be the greatest and least in heaven.. Where do you want to be on that list.. I would rather be in a shack in heaven than in a mansion in hell, but why not shoot for a mansion in heaven while you still can..
