True disciples discipled by the Truth
We have been going over A Biblical Profile of a Disciple for a while now. I hope that you have had the chance to click on the link to check it out for yourself. If not, here is the link again. You can scroll down to the part titled “Worksheet” and go over what we have learned so far. I just think it is time to move on. I hope that you have enjoyed and learned as much or even more than I have. May we all be true disciples of our Lord Jesus and bear much fruit for His kingdom.
9 And this I pray, that your love may overflow still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ; 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:9-11 NASB
Father God,
How good, loving, patient and kind You are to Your children. We are so in awe of You. Your greatness amazes us. Thank You for always having time for Your children. Thank You for hearing our cries, carrying us when we are weak and walking with us so that we never have to be alone. Who is there like our God? There is no one like You. We praise and thank You for Your unending mercy. Thank You for Your great love. Help us to be the best disciples that we can be. Thank You for this study. Help us to remember and apply all of Your truths.
Please bring peace to Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Description of a disciple part 11
A disciple practices spirituality and demonstrates the fruit of the Spirit in His life, Galatians 5:22-23.
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
John 15:8 NKJV
Father God,
We ask that You transform us from glory to glory and that we would continue to grow in Your word. We ask that Your righteousness would shine through our submitted lives for we want to produce much fruit for You. Please bring our actions, attitudes and character under Your guiding hand. We want to be Christ-like in everything that we do. We know we can do nothing on our own, nor do we want to. All that we want is to one day hear You say, Well done thou good and faithful servant. You are so good to supply Your children with all that we need to live godly lives. Thank You could never be enough, but it is all that we have from hearts that are extremely grateful. Please draw us all closer to You.
We continue to seek Your hand of protection and peace over Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Description of a disciple part 10
A disciple honors God with his finances, 1 Corinthians 16:1-2
8 “Will a man rob God?
Malachi 3:8-10 NKJV
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Father God,
Your word says that You love a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). May we give joyously to You and out of our abundance have enough to give extra offerings as You lead us by Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for all of the wisdom that we receive from Your word. May we be doers and not hearers only (James 1:21) and may we be able to show others the truth about joyous, and selfless giving.
Please bring peace to Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:10-12 NKJV
Father God,
Please help Your children to be good representatives of Yours while we are on this earth. May our eyes see what You want us to see, who You want us to help, where and when the opportunities arise. We love You and always want to be in the perfect center of Your will for us.
Please bring peace to Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Description of a disciple parts 7 & 8
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV
Some synonyms for exhort are urge, encourage, call on, lean on, stir, incite, advise and warn.
A disciple is a regular attendee of church services, where his spiritual needs are met, and where he makes a contribution to the body of believers, Psalm 122:1; Acts 16:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Hebrews 10:25.
A disciple fellowships regularly with other believers, 1 John 1:3.
https://bible.org/seriespage/39-biblical-profile-disciple
We help each other with encouragement and admonition as we meet together. The Bible says that iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). We are sharpened by each other when we are at church.
Father God,
Help Your children to understand the importance of meeting together. I ask today that every one of us would find, stay involved in or be a part of Your growing body. May we all be at a church which is preaching and teaching the truth according to Your word. May Your Holy Spirit minister to us and through us.
Please bring peace to Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Description of a disciple part 6
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:20 NKJV
A disciple has a heart for witnessing, gives his testimony clearly, and presents the Gospel regularly with increasing skill, Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 1:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:4.
https://bible.org/seriespage/39-biblical-profile-disciple
Father God,
We ask for beautiful feet to share the gospel with others (Romans 10:15). May Your children have a heart for witnessing, be able to give our testimony clearly, and present the Gospel to anyone You have placed in our path. We ask for You to empower us to do Your will. We know our time on earth is short. We want to stay kingdom-minded and always be about Your business. Keep us conscious of eternity. What a wonderful day when we see You face-to-face.
We continue to ask for peace in Israel. Protect her from her enemies. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Description of a disciple part 5
A disciple demonstrates faithfulness and a desire to learn and apply the Word of God through hearing His word preached and taught, reading His word frequently, Bible study, Scripture memory, and meditation on the Scriptures, John 8:31; Acts 17:11; Colossians 3:16; 2 Timothy 2:15.
https://bible.org/seriespage/39-biblical-profile-disciple
We have to have more than head knowledge. At some point we have to have a heart knowledge as well. The heart knowledge will carry us to the actions. The heart knowledge will soften, mold and strengthen us.
Father God,
Please dear Heavenly Lord take away anything that is not of You, anything that would exalt itself over You, anything at all that would hurt You or cause a division between our heart and Yours. Create a clean and pure heart in us. We ask for Your Holy Spirit to reveal any area that we need cleaning in. You have full reign. Do what only You can do. We are willing and submissive to Your great call. Help us to show discipleship by how we apply Your word that we have studied and hid in our hearts. Change us to a better version. Help us as we continue to grow, that we would always point others to You.
Please bring peace to Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Description of a disciple part 4
A disciple has a daily devotional time and is developing his prayer life, Psalm 27:4; 42:1-2; Mark 1:35; Luke 11:1-4.
https://bible.org/seriespage/39-biblical-profile-disciple
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
Matthew 5:6 NKJV
For they shall be filled.
We have to get to the place where we hunger for the word of God to hear from Him and to be in His presence. We can then be a disciple whose very life shows others how to be a disciple by our devotion to the Lord and our hunger for His righteousness.
Father God,
Spending time with You in Your word is the very best part of our day. Your word is alive. You speak to our hearts with Your word. Your Holy Spirit reminds us of what You have said. You give us so much peace, joy and strength from the blessed pages of Your word. Help us to tune in daily for spiritual renewal, reviving and awakening. May we also be so diligent that others would see our desire to know You more and that passion would ignite a fire in them, as well. Thank You for the multitude of things that You do for us. We love You and are happy to be here learning what it means to be a disciple.
Please bring peace to Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Description of a disciple part 3
A disciple is committed to a life of obedience, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:22-5:5.
https://bible.org/seriespage/39-biblical-profile-disciple
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.”
John 14:23 NKJV
Father God,
Thank You is not enough but it is all that we have to offer You. Thank You for Your word. Thank You for living in our hearts! Thank You for the love that You have given us. Thank You for teaching us how to love. We choose to obey You with our life. We choose to obey You in our thoughts, words and actions. We give You our all.

Descriptions of a disciple part 2
A disciple is one who has made a firm commitment to the Lordship of Jesus, putting Him first in every aspect of his life. This commitment is for a lifetime, Matthew 6:9-13, 24, 33; Luke 9:23; John 13:13; 2 Corinthians 5:15.
https://bible.org/seriespage/39-biblical-profile-disciple
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
Matthew 22:37 NKJV
Love is more than an emotion (1 John 5:3). Love is more than words (1 John 3:18). Love is all (1 Corinthians 16:14). Love is complete. (1 John 4:17-19) Love is from God (1 John 4:7). Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8). Love is not fearful (1 John 4:18). Perfect love comes alive in a person the day that they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Father God,
We thank You for being at work in our lives. We thank You for showing and showering us with Your great perfect love. We ask that our heart, soul and mind would come under the Lordship of Jesus. We want Your Holy Spirit to guide us in all that we think, say and do. We want our will to align with Your will. We thank You for Your great guidance found in the blessed pages of Your Holy Bible. We want to show the world what a true disciple of Yours looks like. We can do it by Your great power at work in us. Help us as we continue to learn what being a disciple looks like. Thank You so much for the word today.
Please bring peace to Israel. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
