《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Fourteen
Advertisement
Day Fourteen.
Verses: "'Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.'" John 12:25-26
Yesterday I watched church and my church is doing a series called: "God never said that." Yesterday's saying that God never said was: "follow your heart."
I am sure at some point in your life, you have heard someone say: "follow your heart." It sounds sweet and encouraging, but it's not from the Bible, Jesus never said that, and it's not Christianity.
In the verse above Jesus clearly says: "follow me." We as Christian don't need to follow our heart. We need something greater than our heart. We need to follow Jesus. Let Jesus lead us and guide us, not our heart or our feelings. Because my dad always says: "feelings aren't fact." What our heart is telling us to do, is also not fact.
The person who does follow their heart, it can lead them to debt, will lead them away from God, and your heart lies. Your heart tells you things like: "if you eat Taco Bell everyday you won't gain weight." A lie! Because as my pastor says: "if you pull into Taco Bell after nine pm, I can promise you, God did not lead you there."
When I started this ministry, I knew it was from God because: one, it was going to be a lot of work to build a ministry and I didn't want to do that. Two, the Devil kept me trying to make excuses why I shouldn't start a ministry. Three, I knew it was God's voice when He told me.

If I would have followed my heart, there would be no Jesus Saves Ministry because I would have kept making excuses not to start it. But because I followed God's voice and not my heart, I am now building Jesus Saves Ministry.
I also didn't think I should be the one leading people to Christ because I felt so messed up and who would want to learn from me? But God told me, I am a good enough IN HIM. Not by myself or with the things that I have done but IN HIM, I can share my story, and hopefully lead others to Christ.
Ask yourself: who is leading and guiding you? It is God? It is your heart? Or is it your feelings?
Let God lead and guide you. God will show you the way. You just have to relax, grab His hand, and trust in Him.
Prayer:
Dear God,
I don't want to be lead by my heart or my feelings. So I pray, you lead and guide me. Show me which way to Lord and I will follow you. I know that you are God. I believe that you are King and my Savior. I just pray you come into my heart and help me Lord. I want to follow you and only you Lord.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

I hope you enjoy! Thank you for reading! I love you all❤️

Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
