Welcome to Follow The Leader FTL

I want complete victory over sin in my life. I want to see the dust of Jesus foot all over the serpent's face. Where desire is gone and I have total peace in that area of my life. Like Paul, I want to be a shocking testimony to those around me. That even when sin's fangs sink deep into my heart and life, I can shake off its evil desires all to the glory of God. And this, to the astonishment of those around me will give glory to God for the change they are seeing in me. Not I,

I want complete victory over sin in my life. I want to see the dust of Jesus foot all over the serpent's face. Where desire is gone and I have total peace in that area of my life.

Lord, help me to stay in the boundaries you gave established so I can experience true freedom. It is when I venture out in my own feelings and pursue my own selfish desires that I box myself in. Away from the nourishment of Holy Spirit I become enslaved to sin and pleasure. You gave me your law so that I can see that I am a sinner in need of grace. And that grace covers me, allowing me to rebuild your boundaries that I have torn down in my heart and mind. I must guard my hear

I see a huge ship sailing on the high seas. I smell the salt water as it splashes wildly onto the ships deck. Now listen quietly. Hear the raw power as the ship creeks making a wide turn in the opposite direction. It's amazing how these large structures turn majestically even in such heavy and coarse waters. To think, what helps these large ships turn is the smallest of instruments called the rudder. It takes strong winds to move a large sailing ship, but the captain uses onl

Oh Lord to see you stand up from your throne in my direction. The glory and splendor of just one peek into the beauty of your holiness. David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."'Since David himself called the Messiah ‘my Lord,’ how can the Messiah be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with great delight. What a sight to see when Jesus was taken into heaven after his

The Old Me. Sometimes I want to go back to the old me, but I don't know him anymore. The person I once was is no more. He wouldn't want to hang with me anyway, I am so different now and I don't even understand myself sometimes. But I still try looking for him, just to get a shoulder to cry on. I see remnants here and there of him but the old me has disappeared into the past. What happened in the past is being washed away by the coming tide of the present. And through the proc

Lord, forgiveness is a process I must go through, I understand that now. Its just like death which is a forgiveness we all must accept. We must cry it out, and when ready, seek life after death in Christ. What does it mean to be forgiven of my sins? What if I struggle with sin, is my forgiveness still valid? Jesus, your death on the Cross was a process. You suffered a lot absorbing the wrath of sin's punishment. You could have had angels come and spare you from false accusati

You. You have no control of your spirit. You throw reckless words around and you give the truth without love. Your hot anger is poured out like a broken open spout with no one able to stop it, not even a mention of God will slow it down. Always leaving a mess for others to clean up, leaving behind a wreckage of torn down trust mixed hopelessness. Yes, You are a glutton in everything, with your desire never satisfied. You walk around with pride, as if everyone should do what y
