TRAINING AND DISCIPLINING ONESELF TO RUN THE RACE

2 Timothy 2:3-5 New King James Version
3 You therefore must endure[a] hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in well for warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!!
I'm not sure if you realize this guys, but we are in a battle, as well as running a race. And in order to win this battle, and run and win this race properly, we need to learn how to run and fight properly, and that's where God's Word comes in. I think that's why I find it so important to make sure that we’re truly following God and His Word and not some speaker/teacher, preacher, or some denomination. I want to make sure that my heart, mind, and yes my body are in tune with what God has for me, not man, and in order to do that, I need to make sure that my training regimen, is based on God's Word ONLY.

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this morning scripture, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will show you how important it is to live a life that is truly disciplined in Christ Jesus. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to train and discipline yourself in Christ Jesus, so that you can run the race well for Him! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they will challenge your heart and mind, to want to live a disciplined life for Christ.

Where is it most difficult for you to discipline your heart, mind, or body?

How do you sense God inviting you into deeper discipline?

I pray that you ask God to show you any area in your life where you find it the most difficult for you to keep disciplined, and ask God to help you not only discipline yourself in that area, but to continue training yourself in Him, so that you can run the race that God has set before you, and run it with honor. Remember guys, we're not just in a race, but we are also in a spiritual battle. A battle for the hearts and souls of every person out there, and Satan will try any trick he can to come at us who are God's redeemed, so we need to make sure that we are training properly in the use of the spiritual weapons that we've been given, and also training properly for the race that we are running. When we let God discipline our heart, mind, and body we learn to continually keep our eyes and our attention fixed on him, even in the midst of trials or distractions.

UNTIL WEDNESDAY:

HAVE A TRULY TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
