Going to Disciple School

[Elijah's Mantle]

I know we must all know some where in our young or old ole knowers
There is no greater privilege than going to school
not just regular old boring school (not a one wants to go back ) Any One ? not me

How about DISCIPLE SCHOOL
where JESUS is the teacher since my hand is first raised
the first school lesson of disciple is

"""" If any one thinks they know anything , they know nothing as they ought to know """
(hand goes down very quickly)
Master Teacher Jesus resumes class is in session........

This is the Characteristic of an Ideal Disciple
Disciple is the word those who followed Jesus first received
Disciple means Learner

They entered the school of Faith and of Life
and so should we enter the school of Faith and of Life
I wager it is NOT going to be as any other school in the universe
and at the same time ....irresistibly exiting

The word from which Humility comes is derived from Latin
It means """ Near the ground"""
we know were still there because....."' none of us has yet wrestled the wings from our Guardian Angel and flew off to heaven yet """

A VERY OLD WRITER SAID
""" There is two safe places """
In the Universe
The Heavens and the Dust
Of these two (2)
The dust is the safer place ( we were formed from what? ) refer to Genesis .....not giving answer that's cheating in class ( you get whacked Im not gonna )

For there have been those who fell out of heaven
But who ever heard of any one falling out of the dust ?
where could he fall ?

and that's how ridiculous Jesus see's our fear and concern over whether or not Jesus is going to fall out of Love with his fearfully and wonderfully created children He is not going to ever forsake his beloved children and furthermore he did in fact put us in the safer place ..... ( unlike our enemy) who surely did take a great Fall ) ......

when the consciousness of humility goes into the heart The GRACE OF HUMILITY GOES OUT
life is for learning ( not making excuses and looking at my circumstances ) or looking to opt out
Jesus says that's a NO NO any how

There is no greater privilege than entering the school of FAITH where Jesus is the teacher
all he requires is a surrendered heart
a humble obedient student
a great willingness to spend much time alone with Jesus
because he first Loved us and has never fallen out of Love with us and never will
Jesus said .... """' I go to prepare a place for you that where I am you may be also """
so
who wants to go to school Now ?
I hope every hand goes up
and please give your input

[Elijah's Mantle]

Its truly a great relief to know and begin to see how Jesus see's things
and also quite humorous

we have a enemy who did in fact fall from heaven
he cant make us fall out of the dust

the learned part of the lesson is
when the enemy attempts to tell you you have some how fallen far far and away from your creator
just know he did put you in the safer place of the universe
dust your self off
and write some words from Jesus on your heart

Wonderful thread, bro. God has really been touching you and teaching you. It blesses my heart! And what He shows you helps us all.

[Elijah's Mantle]

I had hoped so brother Matt

I wanted to make it fun because Jesus is more fun than imaginable
he does not see things from our limited vision
which is awesome

He desires that every one knows him personally
and Jesus first loved us and should become to all of us
our first love

Imagine when we get to post graduate school
we will be talking to Noah and David and Solomon
Mary and Joseph quite hard to realize now
but Jesus is coming soon I believe

paul told about the power of the mystery of reserection
we will get to learn that also
I dont feel over whelmed any more
Just very exited for the next thing Jesus wants to teach
