Take up your cross child of God.

A few weeks ago in our women’s support group, we had the chance to “paint and pray.” A lot of people are familiar with the term sip and paint but thanks to the creative collaboration of Faith and Tatayana we were able to pray for one another, our community, and nation while painting our own handheld wooden crosses. After the table of paints, quotes, scripture verses, paint brushes, napkins etc.…

We want to do what we want to do. We want to "think" we are in control of our circumstances and destiny. Yet, you can spend your whole life trying to take the reins from God, all the time hindering your progress to your God-given destiny. #followgod It's in the giving of our lives that we find true joy. Rather than pursuing our will, we surrender to His. Instead of trying to fill our lives with all that we want, we empty our lives to make a difference in the lives of others. #followinggod The death of the self is always the death of a lesser self so that a nobler and more glorious self might come to life. #followingjesus 38 Jesus said, "Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me."- Matthew 10:38 #followjesus 24 Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.- Matthew 16:24-25 #denyyourself 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].

Luke 9:23 Amplified

The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfilment. #selfdenial 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 #denyyourself For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.- Colossians 1:16 #godfirst For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.- Romans 11:36 #godcomesfirst 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?- Matthew 16:24-26 #seekyefirst 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.- Galatians 2:20 #denyyourself 33 Jesus said, "In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples."- Luke 14:33 #dietoself Then Jesus said to his disciples, 24 “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life25 will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?- Matthew 16:24-2626 #liveforgod Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.- 1 John 2:15-17 #dietoselfdaily 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .
