Taking phrases from definition 3-6, orientation is a guide that helps one adjust to new surroundings, it gives one the ability to locate oneself in their environment in relation to true north or true position.
When we become part of Abba Father’s Kingdom family through salvation by Christ Jesus, the next step we take is to sign up for a season of orientation with Holy Spirit as our Guide. Holy Spirit trains us on what it means to be part of Jesus’ Family.
We adapt Jesus’ Family mentality so that we can think like Him, speak like Him, walk like Him, create like Him, love like Him, heal like Him, deliver like Him, have dominion like Him and for some, die like Him.
One of the terms used for Kingdom orientation is discipleship.
A disciple is a follower.
Jesus said:
28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”
Luke 9:23, Matthew 16:24
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].
Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world.
He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
Holy Spirit is the Teacher of Kingdom Family orientation. He will walk with you for the rest of Your life. You do not have to be an expert. Holy Spirit is THE Expert. As Jesus promised:
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
Have you received Jesus?
Would you like to forever belong to Jesus’ Family?
If YES, please pray the prayer at the end of this post:
