Spiritual Discipline



Most people already live according to an informal rule of Spiritual growth, especially those who desire and want to grow more in love with Jesus. But most people do this informally and do not have an intentional thought process in the growth of becoming more like Jesus and less like the world. Many years of my Christian walk with Jesus were spent like this, growing or desiring to grow but without any intentional thought to it. This resulted in not much growth or transformation into the image of Jesus. Thanks to three mentors and an accountability partner, now I have begun to understand what it means to grow more like Jesus and do it intentionally. If we are to grow more like Jesus we are to act like Him and speak like Him.  Jesus did everything intentionally. The intentional disciplines and rules in my life include the following; accountability partner, community, confession, prayer, devotional reading, Communion, mentoring, prayer partner, Sabbath, unity, family, silence and solitude, stewardship, and finally worship.
