GROWING ROOTS

Accepting Jesus (or "starting a relationship with Jesus" or "inviting Jesus into your life"
or "becoming a Christian") is not the same thing as following Jesus.

It's just the first step in a lifetime of steps.

Sadly, some people never move past accepting Jesus.

They say "yes" to His forgiveness, enjoy the moment, and then set it aside.

Maybe they think "following Jesus" is like following someone on social media,

which is totally passive.

All you need to do is click a link, swipe a screen, or confirm a request.

But following Jesus requires us to be actively and intentionally connected to Him personally.

We can't just check in now and then, or mute his updates or ignore the notifications.

We need to make time to be with Him, to listen to Him, to learn about Him, and to learn from Him.

In these verses, Paul writes:

"Just as you have accepted Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow Him.
Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him.
Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught..."
Accepting is step one. Following is every step that comes after that.

TO THINK ABOUT

What's the difference between accepting and following?

What are some ways you can become a deep follower of Jesus
("let your roots grow down into Him")?

What does it mean for Jesus to be Lord of your life? ~ Young Life

rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith,
as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:7 NKJV

So many deliver the talk but lack the walk!

Praying for those!

For when the body of humanity removes its power from those who choose to be parasites
and pretend to be givers and leaders.

They will realize to late.

They seek to destroy others dreams or take over others dreams,
because they don't believe in their own abilities or work!

when you believe in your dreams, you work hard to manifest them.

When you are a believer you are about action and works!

When you are not a believer, you do not work, for you believe that your work
will not manifest your dreams.

In order to take action.

You must be awake!

Faith without works is dead!

The Kingdom is inside of you not in buildings of wood and stone.
Split a piece of wood and you will find me, lift a stone, I Am there.
~Gospel of Thomas

Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you.
For there is nothing hidden that will not become manifest.
~Gospel of Thomas

His disciples said, “When will the Kingdom come?”
It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying here it is or there it is.
Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth and men do not see it.
~Gospel of Thomas

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is within you,
what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

~Gospel of Thomas

We are in the time of the separation of the wheat and tares.
Who are the wheat and who are the tares?
We shall soon see!
Each of you are witnessing the tares or narcissists coming put into the open.
COMMUNICATION WITH A NARCISSIST IS UNHEALTHY...
Word salad is a part of narc speak...
the form of talking used by narcissist to redefine words,
to baffle, confuse, and control others.
Words salad works just exactly because you can find a way to answer it.
It goes along well with other forms of diversion, like:

1. circular conversations.

2. Repeating the same thing again and again to drive you crazy.

3. Condescending answers or smearing and attacking.

4. Projection (accusing you of what the N is doing).

5. Playing the victim.

6. Making excuses.

7. Lying.

The point of using all these together with word salad...
a mish mash of disconnected ideas and words....
is to give you a mystified sense of "what the heck just happened?".

Here's the most important point....
this is done INTENTIONALLY.

It's a manipulation, not actually random.

It's a tactic.

And, as a consequence, it shows that the narcissist always wants CONTROL you
and control conversations, not to resolve problems.

You wIll not resolve anything with a narcissist.

So, you have to ask yourself...can you live with that?
