Denying Ourself

Start ignoring, rejecting;
Those carnal desires;
Not feeding our flesh;
Starve of all, it requires.

Where are the Equipping Churches?

We’re not equipping the saints
For the work of the ministry
Instead our focus, polished preaching
Yet, we’re not coming to His unity.

Thine Not Mine

Now put on, the Lord Jesus;
Not my feelings, inner surges;
For so quickly, so easily;
We succumb, to carnal urges.

Not Converted but Completed

Came to realize, I’m not converted;
Believing Jesus, is my Messiah;
Now instead, I’m completed;
My heart circumcised, as God requires.

Our Imprinting, as a Believer

We must seek, God will lead;
Learn from mentors, start partaking;
Equipping us, for this ministry;
Obey, go forth, disciple-making.

Have Churches Lost Their Way?

Instead of Jesus’ plan, ‘Go forth’;
Most churches center, on us sitting;
Disciple-making, so neglected ;
Jesus’ Commission, largely missing.

A Jewish Testimony

So now a Jew, complete;
A circumcised, new heart;
No longer striving, to keep laws;
Messiah fulfilled, on my part!

Rabbinical Misunderstanding of Messiah

For as with Talmud, Rabbis wandered;
Kept adding their interpretations;
Failed to take, God at His Word;
His prophecies, His clear intentions.

From Orthodox Rabbinical, to Messianic Jew

Saw Torah prophecies, all fulfilled;
Jesus’ atonement, our true Messiah;
By His blood, our sin cleansed;
Be raised with Him, our God’s desire.

“The Church of Equipping” : Disciple-Making

With the goal, to build up others,
All be accountable, committing,
All be equipped, for work of ministry,
Not just passive, pew sitting.
