Today’s episode is focused on Jesus binding us together in love with other believers.

Check out Day 3 which is about having eyes to see the connections that Jesus brings into our life.

The Jailer is an incredible story of an outsider-insider partnership of the Lord. As we consider outsider-insider partnerships in disciple-making, church planting movements, let's consider that all things work together for the good of those who love and serve the Lord. Check out today's podcast episode for more information about this theme. 

This week’s church planting movement principle is: Develop Outsider-Insider Partnerships. Listen in to Week 36 of the Disciple Keys Podcast for more information on this week's principle. 

Jesus Ias You are in the world, so let me be.

Jesus, here I am to praise you!

Jesus, make every disciple a fruitful disciple maker.

Jesus thank You for the measure of faith to minister!

“When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished, and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.” - Acts 4:13

Jesus, make me lean more and more on you.

Jesus, help me be willing to pay the price daily.

Jesus, help me press forward to finish well

Jesus, complete Your good work through me!

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

Jesus, for you I will endure.

Jesus, teach me to love my enemies.

Jesus, keep my eyes on Your joy.

Jesus, help me endure through suffering!

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4

Jesus, help me confidently launch new leaders!

Jesus, empower me to equip those qualified to reproduce Your life in me.

Jesus, let me walk in Your footsteps!

Jesus, help me model, assist, watch then launch as You did..

Pray for movement catalysts to model healthy leadership, assist new leaders, watch and advise new leaders, and then empower and release local leaders, moving (in God’s time) to peoples and places in greater need.

"Jesus, as I pour out, pour back in."

"Jesus thank you for remembering my work.."

"Jesus, help me humbly serve others"

"Jesus I want to learn to give."

Our Father in heaven is our great example of this movement principle; He is always extravagantly generous with everyone. Ask how you can generously give to others because He gave His one and only Son to die for you. Pray for lavish generosity and ample provision as disciples reach out to meet the needs of those around them.

"Jesus, may I be ready to do Your will."

"Jesus, you are my one desire!"

"Jesus, as You walk, help me walk like You."

"Jesus, transform me from glory to glory!"

In Luke 6:40 it says: “The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” So today ask God to continue to grow you up in the ways of righteousness so you can effectively model for others the life of Jesus. 

"Jesus, I want to trust you with all of my life."

"Jesus, show me how to live as you lived!"

"Jesus, I want to be child-like today."

"Jesus, help me simply trust and obey."

This week's movement principle is "Keep it Simple to Multiply". In Matthew 13:23 we read: “But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Listen in for the rest of this week's theme. 

"Jesus I ask, I seek, and I knock!"

"Jesus, show me the wide doors."

"Jesus, open the doors you want open!"

"Jesus let me know your true peace."

This week’s movement principle is: Look for Open Doors. God is the One who opens doors no man can shut and closes doors that no one can open. This week consider the sovereignty of God as you go out to plant churches. Ask God to open doors of opportunity to share the gospel and ask Him to close doors that are the wrong ones. There are many ways Christians face open and closed doors, some doors are closed because of warfare from the opposition and some are closed because God is leading you in a different direction. Through prayer, you can ask God to help you discern the open doors from the closed doors. Followers of Christ are often brought before kings and rulers as another way God may open the door. Remember Paul going to Rome before Pilate and Festus? Ask the Lord to lead disciple-makers to households who open their homes and their larger communities to the gospel.

"Jesus, show the true signs among through me."

"Jesus confirm your work with signs and wonders."

"Jesus show Your power through me!"

"Jesus, confirm the message of your grace!"

This week’s movement principle is: Pray For Signs and Wonders. In Acts 14:3, we read: “So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.” And in Mark 16: 20, we read: “The disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.” Wherever the disciples went proclaiming His Word, God confirmed the gospel message of the kingdom with with miracles of healing, demons cast out, the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, the dead raised, etc. In Luke 10:9, Jesus commanded them to “heal the sick.” All of these signs and wonders Jesus described as ‘destroying the works of the devil’. So as you go out to plant churches in your neighborhood or around the globe, ask God to confirm the Word of God you are sharing with powerful signs and wonders. Ask that, as disciple makers pray for those in need in the name of Jesus, God would answer with miracles, signs and wonders, and cause hearts to open to receive the Good News. Ask God to open your eyes and heart to new levels of faith in Him that will open the way for the Holy Spirit to work among the people you meet.

"Jesus, let me be wise with what you've given me."

"Jesus, help me cultivate a lifestyle of generosity."

"Jesus, through me sow Your Word generously."

"Jesus, help me sow abundantly even in new creative ways.!"

This week’s Church Planting Movement principle is: Sow the Gospel Abundantly. In 2 Corinthians 9:6, it says: “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” As we go out to plant churches among the nations of the world, we are called to sow generously and as we have been given freely the gospel ourselves, so we freely give it to those to whom we are sent. Ask God to give you new insight into how to sow generously in every area where you are sent and in every way you can. Ask God for new strategies to give of all He has given you to those you meet along the roads of your life. Pray that all disciples abundantly share the Good News in their homes, workplaces, and communities. Ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up disciples who willingly go into new areas to bring the gospel.

"Jesus, let me preach to everyone I meet!"

"Jesus, shine through me."

"Jesus, bring Your rule and reign!"

"Jesus let me proclaim you!" 

This week’s Church Planting Movement principle is: Proclaim The Kingdom. In Matthew 10:7 Jesus says: “As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The Kingdom of heaven has come near.” Jesus is providing vital instruction to His disciples and to us as well. Listen in to this week's theme for Disciple Keys.

"Jesus , help each household be a lighthouse of the Gospel."

"Jesus I want to learn from your example today."

"Jesus open households to the Gospel."

"Jesus lead me to groups of people to disciple."

Shadow pastoring means coaching the believer and their partner to lead the Discovery Bible Study with their own network of relationships. They lead from the beginning. Groups are hearing and learning together. Listen in to this Week's Disciple Key theme.

"Jesus let me keep step with You."

"Jesus help me understand the times and know what must be done!"

"Jesus, help me be still in Your Presence and move at Your pace to multiply disciples."

"Jesus, let me be a diligent worker who is not ashamed."

This week’s movement principle is “Go Slow to Go Fast”. Listen in for more details…

"Jesus teach me to be humble and love others."

"Jesus help me effectively sow in others' lives!"

"Jesus help me find people of peace!"

"Jesus draw people of peace to the Father today!"

This week’s Church Planting Movement principle is: Find People Of Peace. No matter where you are or where God sends you to work you will always find people of peace. People of peace open their natural relationship network to the Gospel and become a bridge for the Gospel into their community and their families. People of peace can also be people who are placed in your path to love and support you along your journey and in service to the Lord. People’s hearts are prepared by the Holy Spirit--they become leaders of others who begin to follow and obey. Ask the Holy Spirit to prepare the hearts of those who do not yet believe. Pray for God to direct disciple-makers to those He is drawing to Himself. Ask God to show you the people of peace in your life and in your path as you go out.

"Jesus help me abide in you today."

"Jesus, Your good plans for me include Your ample provision!"

"Jesus give me contentment today."

"Jesus increase my faith in your provision!"

"Jesus, I want everything I do to please you."

"Jesus teach me to worship You through my work."

"“and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.” - Acts 18:3-4

"Jesus help me learn to run to you when I'm tempted."

"Jesus I lay down all my burdens today!"

"Jesus help me know you as THE Provider."

"Jesus I want to know you more!"

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6

"Jesus come quickly and let me use my time wisely before you do."

"Jesus teach me to seize today!"

"Jesus show me what gifts I have to offer others!"

"Jesus teach me to prioritize Your best in my life!"

UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF THE TASK

"Jesus help me seek the eternal."

"Jesus help me to consider the sparrow."

"Jesus, you are my provider!"

"Jesus help me revel in Your generosity and goodness."

TRAVEL LIGHT AND AVOID ENCUMBRANCES

Jesus help me submit to You and resist the Devil.

Jesus, make me alert, sober and able to resist the enemy!

Jesus, make me skilled in wielding the sword of the Spirit, Your Word!

Jesus teach me of your faithfulness!

Jesus, make me skilled in wielding the sword of the Spirit, Your Word!

"Jesus, let me be your witness to the nations!"

"Jesus, I want to obey you over men."

"Jesus, make me a servant!"

"Jesus, burn in me like fire!"

Jesus said, “Go into the world and make disciples”. He didn’t say “Go into the church.” We need to remember that obedience to Jesus means recognizing the Harvest that He is sending you to - your workplace, your school, your neighborhood.

"Jesus, show me how you do things." Today's episode is based on the Scripture, "As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.” - Acts 13: 2

"Jesus, make clear my path forward." Today's episode is based on the Scripture, "...they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia... but the Spirit didn’t allow them... When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them." Acts 16:6-10.

"Jesus, as I speak Your will by faith, remove those mountains ." Today's episode is based on the scripture, "Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done." - Matthew 21:21

"Jesus, reveal Your strategies to us." Today's episode is on Wise Guidance. Based on this scripture, "for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors." - Proverbs 24:6

This week’s movement principle is to Participate in Strategic Planning. Lifting up our eyes to see as God sees gives us deeper understanding of the field to which we are sent. Spirit-led research then is submitted back to God as we wait on Him. Listen to today's episode to hear more. 

"Jesus, teach me to wait on you today."

"Jesus, tune my ears to hear You and obey."

"Jesus, connect me to those who pave the way Your Kingdom coming."

We want to see as the Father sees. Listen today for some key ideas how to accomplish this as His disciple.

This week's Church Planting Movement principal is: Pursue Spirit-Led Research. We ask the Lord to give us His wisdom as movements research gaps and try to understand the spiritual realities in their regions. Listen in to hear more about this week's theme. 

"Jesus, equip me to be an effective ambassador for you everywhere you are about to come."

"Jesus direct my steps today to where You will come that I may prepare Your way there."

"Holy Spirit, tune my ears to hear and prepare my heart to instantly, joyfully obey Your voice."

"Jesus, send me ahead of You to proclaim Your Word and confirm it with signs and wonders following." We want to work with Jesus and the Spirit to fulfill the Great Commission. 

This week's movement principle is: Go Where He Is About To Come. A very important principle of church planting movements is to listen to the Holy Spirit and obey where he sends you to go. Listen to this week's theme today.

"Jesus, let me be one with you!" Our heart cry should be that we are one with the Son as He is with the Father. The Trinity is the perfect example of unity in diversity. We need to understand this core value of Christianity in order to have grace and patience with our ministry partners, our colleagues, our friends, and our family. Jesus said to "Be at peace with all me." Listen to today's episode to hear some encouragement in this area.

"Jesus, show me my tribe!" How often do we feel alone in our calling from the Lord? We need to ask for eyes to see those around us who the Lord has placed in our lives to be partners in the call. Listen in to today's episode to hear some ideas on how to accomplish this idea of finding your tribe.

"Jesus, teach me your Unity!" We want to be consistent followers of Jesus. So great is the power, the ability to do, of mankind when working together toward a singular task that God Himself said "nothing" would be impossible for us if we were united.

"Jesus, match me with Your hand-picked partner and send us out two by two!" Today's podcast will focus on what how to recognize the God given partner to go with you in ministry. 

This week's movement principle is: Go Out Two by Two. Throughout our lives we are tempted to go alone, to go without God and without our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. This important movement principle can be found in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10: ”Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." Listen in to today's podcast to hear more about this week's movement principle. 

"Jesus be my example in everything." If you have kids then you know that you've got them mimicking you as a parent in one way or another. Children are open to learning and imitating their parent's behavior. We are called to like little children when it comes to our faith and following Jesus' commands. He wants us to be open to learning and changing and imitating Him because His ways are better than our own. 

"Jesus, I commit all my ways to you today!" Jesus called us as His disciples to be light in the darkness and salt to the unsalted world we live in. We stand out because of the One who lives inside of us. 

"Jesus, let your light shine in me today!"  "Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:15-16

"Jesus show me the mercy you've given me and let me show that mercy to others!" Today's podcast episode is focused on having the Spirit's patience. We cannot, apart from the Spirit empowering us, flow in the fruits of the Spirit. Lean into the Father today and let His patience surround you.

"Jesus, take all of me, to glorify yourself." Today's podcast is focused on whatever we do, we should be glorifying the Lord. There is a common misconception among believers that we have to have a "quiet time" or just go to church on Sunday; but actually, Jesus isn't just available for relationship in a "quiet time" or during church. He's with you as you're driving to work, picking up the kids, cooking dinner, or heading to bed. Jesus' presence should be like a fragrant perfume that you wear no matter what you are doing. Our everyday actions should be glorifying to the Lord. For more information about Disciple Keys or to follow along the Devotional Companion, visit DiscipleKeys.world.
