Welcome to Follow The Leader FTL

I could go pray loudly in a public place standing with arms stretched out, or on the street corner to make sure I am seen by men. But I choose to go in isolation, an upper room, or a closet and pray for mercy, grace and peace. Confessing my sins and giving praises to My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am determined to open the windows of Heaven through devoted prayer, so I can have God's blessings continually blowing in my life. I do this by personal prayer by my spiritual wi

If only I could purchase wisdom for myself. To download the instructions and know the mysteries I cannot solve. Like an app you can purchase and have confidence that you have all you need for life and godliness. Man, if I could know how to heal the sick from any disease. Or be able to bring life back from the dead. What if I knew how to keep peace within our world. Wherever I went I would be able to give wisdom and help those who lack understanding. And there is the problem

Staying in faith is not about intensity but about duration. The biggest thing God is doing in your life is learning to trust Him. There was a movie I watched recently where a boxer was down in the ring and was about to be counted out. Right at the last final counts where he had to get up or lose. The fighter gets on his knees and begins to pumple the ground punch after punch, shocking the fans and his opponent. It looked like he was going to stay down but found the will to s

Many times we must share our testimony of the Gospel to a place we don't want to go to, to share a personal message we don't feel comfortable sharing, to people who don't want to hear what we have to say. But I have to go, people are going to eternity without God. To the weak I must become weak, that I might win the weak. I must become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. Oh Jesus if someone should wander from the truth I pray you use me to bring the

Open up a bottle to drink and let God take the first sip. You will realize you don't want all of it anymore because it's technically his, now that his lips have touched it. Also, you are amazingly so much more eager to share with others after God's first sip. You are supernaturally content with the rest of the drink feeling fuller. God in Christ knows how to take your thirst away. He took on human form and drank the cup of wrath against us. He has given us pure living water t

A baby is born in tears of pain into this world. A believer is born in tears of joy into Heaven. Passing from death to life into the Hands of our Heavenly Father. Oh Jesus, no one can come to you unless the Father who sent you draws them; and on the last day you will raise them up. You came to your own and they did not receive you. But as many as do receive you, you gave the right to become children of God. I was not born with special blood ties, or by the will of the flesh,

Do not run away from your problems, take your problems to God. When you run away you run with no direction, no purpose. You find inadequate covering in high places and hide in small exposed crevices and spaces. There is no rest for the wanderer that is running away from the devourer. From the disasters and dangers that are chasing them. The plan to runaway will lead you to total darkness. In this darkness of reasoning you will be ensnared by your own desires and fall into tra

Oh Jesus how can I give when I have so little to spare? You say of what I have to give, let it be my first and my best. Then you will multiple it in my life and make me content. It seems to me the more easily you get wealth, the sooner you will lose it. The harder it is to earn, little by little you make it grow, my Lord. Because of my personal sacrifice you are able to use my little for much fruit to your Kingdom. You desire mercy over sacrifice. The Father desires to give t

Have you ever walked still enough where you can hear your own steps? It should remind you that the only reason you are able to walk is by faith. You started to crawl at an early age. Little by little by faith you stood on two legs and never looked back. You now walk trusting in each step planted because of your growth in Christ. You crawled out of your sins and gradually were able to stand in faith. Through relationship with Jesus each step becomes stronger, more confident in

I lived the life of a vampire sucking the life out of people and living in the darkness of my sins. My only daylight was the forgiveness I received from others mature in Christ. I harbored a long list of unrighteous behaviors like malice, jealously, slander, heartlessness and ruthlessness. I was dead inside cold with no Holy Spirit flowing inside me. No heart for people, no care for nobody but my own beatless heart. Thanks be to God that the dead come back. Dead people will c
