《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!

Follow Grant Legate’s trials and tribulations through: Memories, Made, Realities, Crash, Together. Memories: A man broken by despair and depression, Grant Legate finds himself in a once-in-a-lifetime situation after receiving an Ultimate Edition copy of Continue Online. All he wishes for is a distraction from the thoughts plaguing his waking hours. He dives in headfirst, unknowing of the AIs intentions. They offer him the chance to play as one of their own, a NPC deserving of a proper send off. What he discovers during the journey shakes Grant to his very core. Made: No longer playing as a Local from the world of Continue Online, Grant Legate’s adventure can begin. The Voices offer him a unique title along with a test and reward. To start—he'll have to survive underground horrors, old girlfriends, become a warrior. To win—he must become an imp familiar and kill another player, one with a dozen tricks up his sleeve.

With no way around the restriction, he ventures into a new world—a VRMMO game based in space—called Advance Online. There he must help his companion AI, Hal Pal, overcome an identity crisis, race to the center of the universe to bring back his true love, and figure out where he stands on the scariest implication of all; AIs are bringing the dead to life. Crash: Grant’s prior adventures tie together and he finds himself back in Continue Online, as Hermes—in jail. He's forced to experience life as a digital convict and earn redemption points to gain his freedom. Each in-game death pushes his goal of helping his friends out of reach. The AIs Grant’s grown to love, trust—and sometimes fear—are facing extinction, he holds the key to their survival. Together: The game is no longer about adventures in a new world or exploring fantasy lands. Grant’s digital wife faces deletion, along with everyone else he cares for. He, and those who know this is more than a game event, search for clues to salvation left behind by the game's creators. Even if he finds them all, the Voices have one last task for their messenger. A sacrifice.

The Anthology
This is my collection of short stories. I ask what stories would my audience like to read and write whatever they post in the comments. I strive for more than two dimensional characters and I like to make my stories somewhat unique. The first six entries are my experiment to just write without stopping and see what comes out. They can serve as an introduction for the reader to me as a thinker and writer. Although it should be known that the majority of those entries were written in a foggy state of mind. Entry seven is where my short stories begin.
