book, there is a workbook and there's a

app you can see here and thousands of
people have already gone through the

kickstart package on the app and on the
app you can answer questions and there are

so many more things you find on the app
and many people all over the world have

by using all of this.

But much more about that later, see the
first lesson. God bless you bye bye

My name is Torben Sondergaard and i want to
welcome you to this first lesson out of

7 in this kickstart and disciple package.
I really believe that this can change

your life forever,
we have already seen,

how this simple teaching have changed
the life of thousands of people all over

the world
and i really

believe that God is going to do the same
thing in you.

He's going to change your life and you

are going to experience this amazing
life we read about in the bible.

As i said my name is Torben Sondergaard
and i'm from denmark and i did not grow

up in a christian family, i was baptized
as a baby in the lutheran church like

most people
here in Denmark, but it was just

traditions
but the 5th of april 1995

i heard the gospel of Jesus for the
first time,

i repented and i experienced God,
how the Holy Spirit came into me

and it became the beginning of a new
amazing life with God.

Since that time i've been working with
church planting in different cities in

denmark and i've been traveling around
the world teaching people and showing

people, how to live the life you read
about in the bible.

Some years ago i started something
that's called the last reformation, which

today is a movement, that is spreading
all over the world

and maybe you have seen some of our
movies or videos on youtube.

But enough about me. I really want to get
started with this kickstart package, so i

hope you are ready.
As i said before, i really believe that

these 7 lessons can change your life
forever.

Some of the things we will talk about in
these lessons is this:

what is a disciple,
how do you get born again,

baptism
with the Holy Spirit,

the gospel from the beginning to the end,
we're going to look at how to know God,

luke chapter 10 and how to eat the sick,
and how you continue to bear good fruit.

But before we are going to start with
this first lesson, i would like to pray:

God, we thank you for
for this opportunity, God to share this

word
and i pray for everyone, who is watching this

video, that you're going to use these
words to change their life,

I pray that this is going to be a new
beginning for them, a new beginning of an

amazing life with you, so come with your
Holy Spirit and help me to share this

and open people's ears and eyes
and hearts, so they can receive

everything you have for them and see who
you are. Come with your Holy Spirit in

the name of
Jesus amen.

So i hope you are ready,
as i said before, we will start

this lesson with looking at what a
disciple is, we will look at discipleship

and we are going to look at the word
christian and the word disciple,

but before we start, i want to start with
the bible, we're going to look at what

the bible is:
the bible

is 66 books,
that have come together.

We have 39
in the old testament and we have

27 in the new testament.
The new testament starts with the four

Gospels,
we have matthew,

we have mark, we have luke and we have
john.

After the four gospels in the new
testament we have the book of acts,

the book of acts,
the book of the apostles

is a historian book
and we're going to come back to that in

a short time, after we have the book of
acts, we have 21 letters,

where 13 of them is written by paul
and in the end of the new

testament we have the book of revelation,
or revelation

and that is the book of the end times.
What we are going to focus most on

now is
the book of acts.

The book of acts in the bible is a very

special book, of course all books or all
letters in the bible are very special,

but the book of acts is the only
history book we have, that actually show,

how the early disciples were following
Jesus.

In that way, that the book of acts is the
only book in the whole bible, that shows

how they walk around
and preach the gospel, how the early

disciples actually laid their hands on
the sick, so they got healed, how the

early disciples cast out demons and so
on

so the book of acts is a book, where we can see,
how people in the early church

heard the gospel and how they came to
faith and what they did, when they came

to faith
and we don't see that in any other book

in the whole bible.
We don't see that in any other book in

the new testament.
Why?

Because the four gospels
are all before the cross,

the four gospels that show about how
Jesus walked around and what he was

preaching and what he was doing and how
he called disciples to follow him.

Even you see a great
thing, a lot of great things in the four

gospels about Jesus and who he was and
what he was preaching and how we should

follow him, the four gospels was still
before

the cross, before Jesus died and got
buried and rose up again, before

Jesus went to heaven and before the Holy
Spirit was poured out on earth,

so therefore you don't see the full
picture in the four gospels.

In the four gospels
you don't see how people come to faith

by getting baptized to Christ and
receiving the Holy Spirit as we are

today,
but much more about that later.

In the letters
we have the letters, written by paul,

peter, james and the rest,
is written to already Christians,

the letters are
written with, is teaching about the

church and church life and how we as
Christians, how we as disciples should

live,
so in the letters,

because they're already written to
Christians, you don't see in the letters,

how people actually
came to faith, you don't see in the

letters how the early disciple was
preaching the gospel, you don't see all

of that in the letters,
but you see that

in the book of acts.
The book of acts is a very special book

as i said before, the book of acts is
like a diary

of some of the first disciples,

the book of acts is like a diary, that
really give a good picture of how they

were living, how the early disciples was
walking

with the Holy Spirit now, how they were
serving Jesus, how they were preaching

the gospel, how they were continuing the
work Jesus started,

all of that you see in the book of acts
and if we believe, what the bible says in

hebrew 13,8 is true,
then what we read in

the book of acts is
also for us today,

because hebrew
13,8 is saying this:

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today
and forever.

Do you believe, that Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday, today and forever? If you

believe that Jesus is the same yesterday,
today and forever, then the Holy Spirit is

also the same today.
And what they experienced at that time,

what we read about in the book of acts,
what they experience, we can also

experience today,
so the book of acts is like a diary,

a diary of Peter, Paul
and you read a little about Philip and

some of the other disciples at that time
and

i want to introduce you to one of my
favorite verses in the book of acts.

In chapter 9 verse 10,
in chapter 9 in the book of acts, you read

about Paul and you read about how Paul
he met Jesus.

What happened was, that Paul he was
actually really against the disciples,

against those people, who are following
Jesus

and Paul he went to Damascus with a
letter to the synagogue in Damascus

where he

asked for permission to capture all
those, who believed in Jesus and bring

them back to Jerusalem, because he wanted
to throw them in prison.

So Paul, he was
on the way to Damascus with a big, big

hate in his heart for Jesus and everyone,
who was following him,

but there on the way to Damascus a great

light came from heaven
and when Paul saw that great light,

he fall down on the ground
and then he heard a voice say:

Saul, Saul,
why are you persecuting me?

and he said: Who are you, Lord? and the
voice said: I am Jesus, whom you are

persecuted

and after this, after Paul or Saul as his
name also was,

after that light and after he heard that,
he was blind and he could not see

anymore,
so that brought him

to a home,
where he was there fasting and seeking

God for three days
and then we come to this verse, verse 10

and there we read this:
And there was a certain disciple

at Damascus named Ananias and to him said
the Lord in a vision: Ananias and he said:

Behold, i am here Lord.
And if you continue reading, you can read

that God spoke to that disciple
called Ananias and God said to Ananias,

that he should go to the house where
Paul was

and we can go on reading, how he went
there to that house and he came into the

room, where Paul was
and he laid the hand on Paul

and Paul got healed and he could see
again

and then he was preaching the gospel to
Paul and Paul there got baptized in

water and received the Holy Spirit.
Maybe you think,

why the verse, we read before, was one of
my favorite verses in the bible and i

will tell you why i love this verse in
the bible:

What we read before was, we read, that in
Damascus, there was a disciple

called Ananias, the word disciple, this is
what i really love,

the bible doesn't say, that in Damascus
there was a big prophet

called Ananias or in Damascus, there was
a priest or somebody, who have a very

very special
calling,

but in Damascus, there was a disciple
called Ananias,

a disciple like you and me, who want to
follow Jesus,

a disciple like everyone else, who love
Jesus and is following him.

To that disciple
God spoke.

I like this verse. Why?
Because God also want to speak to you

and me today.
This disciple Ananias,

that day in his life,
he experienced four things:

First he experienced,
how God spoke to him,

he also experienced, how he was led by
the Holy Spirit,

he also experienced, how he laid their
hands on Paul

and he was healed in the name of Jesus
and he experienced, how he could baptize

Paul in water and with the Holy Spirit.
You and me

can experience the same today,
because what we read here

with Ananias
is the normal christian life.

Who was Ananias
that experienced all of those amazing

things? The answer is: we don't
know.

The bible doesn't tell a lot about who
Ananias was,

but the bible says, that he was a
disciple of Jesus

like you and me,
like we are today.

The only reason we today know, that there
actually was a disciple called Ananias

and that disciple experienced those
amazing things, how God spoke

to him and how the Holy Spirit led him
and how he saw healing and baptism in water

and in Holy Spirit, the only reason, we know
that, is because we are reading about

Paul,
because we are reading Paul's diary.

If we didn't have Paul's diary
or the book of acts, that is mainly about Paul,

we will never know, that there was a
disciple called Ananias.

My question to you is:
Do you believe,

that the things, we read about there in
the book of acts

chapter 9, what Ananias experience,
do you believe,

what he experienced that day,
when God spoke to him, when the Holy

Spirit led him, when he lay hands on
somebody who got healed, when he baptized

somebody in water and with the
Holy Spirit, do you believe, that those

things he experienced that day was the
only time in his entire life he

experienced that?
No, of course not,

this was just one day in his life and
just because we don't read it in the

bible, because we are mainly reading
about Paul,

it doesn't mean, that Ananias did not
experience the same thing other days,

maybe not with Paul but with other
people,

i believe, there were many days in Ananias
life, where he experienced how

God spoke
to him,

where he experienced, how the Holy Spirit
led him, when he experienced laying hands

on the sick and they got healed, when he
experienced

the opportunity to lead people into
Christ, share the gospel, baptize in

Water, baptize with them the
Holy Spirit, i believe

Ananias experienced a lot of this,
i believe, we could write a whole book

about Ananias
like we have the book of acts about Paul

and some of the rest.
So what i believe is,

that if we had Ananias diary
and we will went through Ananias

diary, we will experience many beautiful
days like the day he had with Paul,

days, where the Holy Spirit led him, where
god used him,

i believe we could write a whole book,
like the book of acts about Ananias, i

actually believe, we could write a whole
book about the first

12 apostles we read about
or about the 70, they later got called, i

actually believe, we can write a whole
book about each of the 3 thousand, who

got baptized on pentecost
and by writing a book about them you

will see
some of the same things,

i actually believe that you and me, who
followed Jesus today,

should be able to write a book about our
life

and our life should
look

much like what we read in the book of
acts.

Of course today is very different
than the time

of Jesus,

because today we have cars and we have
airplanes, we have internet,

so there's a lot of things, we today can
do, they did not do at the time of Jesus,

but
the Holy Spirit is the same,

Jesus is the same
and the truth is, that what we read in

the book of acts should be the normal
christian life.

This is the normal christian life and

not what many of us grow up in
today when we grow up in religion.

You don't read in the book of acts, how
baby got baptized with a little water on

the head in an old, old church by a
priest,

who was saying different things. You
don't read

in the bible, how they after got baptized
that babies later got confirmed like we

today do in the lutheran church,
like i experienced in the lutheran church,

i got many experience with christianity
before i met Jesus,

i got many experiences with Christianity,

but it was
a religion

and it was so different from what we
read in the book of acts.

My life, i called myself a Christian, but

my life did not look like, what we read
in the bible. Can i ask you something?

To you out there, who believe in Jesus,
who call you self Christian,

if you should write a diary about your
life

and compare it with what we read in the
book of acts, will that then

look the
same?

I know, it's a challenging question, but
this is what we need to do!

I remember many years ago,
i got hold of the bible,

and now i started to read
through the bible,

about what Jesus was preaching,

about how Jesus was living, how he called
people to follow him as disciples,

i continue reading, how the Holy Spirit
came over the first disciples and how

they were walking around and continued
Jesus work and preaching the gospel and

healing the sick, being led by the Holy Spirit
and i was reading through the bible

and then i had my life there
and my life looked very different

from what i've read in the bible.
I called myself a Christian,

but my life was nothing like what i read
there.

So there must be something wrong
someplace

and we know, it's not the bible there's
something wrong with, it must be there

and it's somehow hard to come to that
understanding,

that in many ways we have been deceived
by religion, i was deceived by religion,

but i started to understand it, i started

to change and now my life and the book
of acts look so much the same.

We need to understand, that the bible is
the truth,

never build the truth, let's say like
that, never build on experience,

because experience can change from day
to day, never build on tradition, we need

to build on the bible, the bible is the
truth and we need to understand,

that what we read in the book of acts is
not about being an apostle like Peter,

Paul, being a big prophet, no it's all
about following Jesus, it's all about

being a disciple of Jesus like Ananias,

to be a disciple
like many other

is to live amazing life
and this is what God

called you for.

It's about Jesus, it's about the gospel,
it's about learning to live the life we

read about in the bible, it's about the
Holy Spirit in us

and how we in everyday life
obey Jesus as his disciple.

If you start to walk this life, you can
experience exactly the same thing Ananias

experience, the same thing i
experienced and the same thing many

other people all over the world
experienced with God.

You can experience, how God will speak to
You,

you can experience, how the Holy Spirit
is leading you,

i had many amazing experiences of that,
how God had been speaking, how the Holy

Spirit is leading and i'm going to share
more experience later,

you can also experience, how
you

go into a house like Ananias and you lay
hands on the sick there and they get

healed like Ananias, how you are
preaching the gospel and you are

baptizing people in water and the Holy
Spirit like Ananias,

you can experience that, because i have
experienced it and other people are

experiencing it,

you can see some experience like
that in our movies the last reformation

the life or some of the youtube videos
we have out there,

so Jesus is the same yesterday today and
forever and it's not about us, it's about

him, it's about
what he did and that we are willing to

follow him and show the world, who he
really is.

So you can also experience all of this
with laying hands on the sick and they

will get healed in the name of Jesus,
you can experience,

how the Holy Spirit is leading you and
how you are doing it, how you are

baptizing people in water and with the
Holy Spirit, so i hope you are ready to

start this amazing life,
i hope you are ready to learn to live it,

live the life
and write your own diary,

that will look
like the book of acts,

because this is the normal christian
life.

I would like us to look at two words in
the bible.

The first word is the word christian
and the other word is the word disciple.

Do you know that the word christian

is only written three times in the whole
bible? And Jesus never used this word,

the first time, we actually see the word
christian being used

is 11 years after Jesus was here on
earth.

We read that in book of acts 11,26
And the disciples were called Christians

first in Antioch.
So it was in Antioch,

the disciples first time were called
christians and that was 11 years after

Jesus was on earth.
So the word christians is only written

three times in the whole bible,
but the word disciple is written over

250
Times.

Maybe we should stop using the word
christians

like jesus never used the word Christians.

Why? Because it's a word, that have been
so misunderstood today.

Maybe you have heard people say like
this:

I am a Christian,
but i really don't live it,

oh i'm a christian in my own way,
oh i'm a christian, because

i go to church and try to live a good
life, i've heard many people say like

that,
but tries to say like this:

I am a disciple of Jesus, but i really
don't live it

oh i'm a disciple of Jesus in my own way,
i'm a disciple of Jesus, because i go to

church and try to live a good life or
say i'm a

disciple of Jesus in my own way.
It sounds wrong,

it doesn't make sense, because we know, that
to be a disciple of Jesus to follow him,

you cannot, you don't become a disciple
of Jesus, because you go to church and

try to live a good life and you cannot
be a disciple of Jesus in your own way.

So Jesus never used the word christian
and maybe we should stop using it,

because it's a word, that have been so
misunderstood today.

But if you look at the word disciple
what do that actually mean today

today? The word disciple is a word we
only use in the churches.

If you go out on the street
today and say hey: hi, i'm a disciple, they look

at you and say: what are you?
But at the time of Jesus the word

disciple was a very common word, Jesus
had disciples, John the baptist had

disciples, the pharisees have disciples,
Moses have disciples, there were different

people who had disciples.
So the word at the time of Jesus was a

very common word and people knew what it
meant. So if we should try to use another

word instead of disciple today, who
explain what it really is about,

then
the word disciple is like apprentice,

discipleship is like a apprenticeship,
let me explain:

Many years ago i started a
apprenticeship as a baker in a bakery,

let's say like that i started a
discipleship

as a baker in a bakery, because
apprentice and disciple is somehow the

same word
and here you can see a picture

and it could actually be me on this
picture who are standing working in the

bakery, but this is not me,
but i started apprenticeship or

discipleship many years ago as a baker.
When i started in the bakery

as apprentice as a baker, i actually did
not know anything about making cakes or

doing all of those things.

I didn't know anything about it, but i
came in

and there he was my master
and my master, who was the baker,

he was there to train me, he was there to
show me, so i could learn and do the same

as him.
And i actually learned

to bake bread, i learned to make cakes, i
learned to make wedding cakes and i

became better and better and better and
i started to look more and more and more

like my master.
And yes it was very hard in the

beginning to learn to bake bread and all
of that, because it was new, everything

was new for me, i've never done it before
and there was times in the beginning i

thought, i'm never going to learn this
like this is too,

this is not easy, because there was a lot
of new information all the time.

But
i learned

and after a short time i
became better and better and better and

in the end i was almost like my master,
of course he was always better than me a

little or much sometimes
and faster than me, but in that period of

discipleship those three and a half
years i was there,

in this period of discipleship or
apprenticeship as a backer i learned and

i became so much better, i also make many,
many, many mistakes,

and but you know what, that is somehow
part of the job

and my master, he knew that, when he took
me in, because every apprentice before me

have also make mistakes, that is part of
learning.

I say it like this: it is okay to make mistakes,
but it's not okay, if you don't try.

So now you and me
are not apprentice

in a bakery,
we are apprentice

at Jesus, we are his disciples
and the same way i said yes to

apprenticeship as a backer, in the same
way somehow we now say yes to our

apprenticeship with Jesus.
We start to follow him,

where we are going to learn to live like
him,

where we are going to grow
daily or weekly and become more and more

and more and more like our master every
day and this is, what Jesus is saying

in
luke

6,40, where Jesus is saying this: A
disciple or apprentice is not above his

master but everyone who is fully trained
shall be like his master.

Try to
Imagine, that i was working as a baker

or working as apprentice in a bakery,
but after three and a half year in my

apprenticeship i have still not learned
to make cakes, so if the case was that i

after three years have not learned and
was only looking at him do it or look at

some of the other people doing it, there
was something wrong,

there's something wrong with that
workplace, there's something wrong with

the apprenticeship, there's something
wrong with my master, something wrong

with me. Why? Because the whole reason i
started my apprenticeship was after a

few years to be like him,
to be

a real baker, i was not an apprentice
anymore, i was

a baker and i was supposed to learn to
do like him. In the same way i want to

say,
that there is something wrong,

if you have been a christian or disciple
or apprentice

and after 10 and 20 years still don't
know, how to do what Jesus called

you to
do,

then there's something wrong with where
you are, there's something wrong with you,

we are called to be like Jesus,

we are called
to walk like him,

to speak like him,
to be led by the Holy Spirit like him,

to heal his sick and cast out demons
like him,

to serve like him,
to love like him

and the list just go on and on.
So there's something wrong, if you have

been a disciple or christian for 10 or 20
years

and have still not learned how to do,
what Jesus called you to do.

But don't worry!
We are here to help you, i'm here to help

you, the reason we are doing these seven
lessons

is to help you on your way,
to help you to start

not only believing Jesus, but start
live with him,

to live as apprentice of Jesus, to live
as a disciple.

We are here to help you to get, so you
can write your own diary

and your diary will look like what we
read in the book of acts,

so we are here to help you to learn to
live the life Jesus have for you,

but
you need to be willing to obey,

we cannot obey for you, that is something
you need to do,

we can give you teaching,
we can give you training,

but you need to obey it,
you need to step out

and start living it.
When i started as a baker,

starting baking
cakes,

as i said i make many, many, many mistakes
and sometimes my master he was angry,

sometimes he was really angry and
things was flying to the room and he was

shouting and i was like oh no i messed
it up one more time,

but you know that was somehow part of
the job,

it is part of the job to make mistakes,
but i actually learned also through the

mistakes i did,
i tried,

i made mistakes,
i tried again,

and i became better and better and i
learned, i learned and i learned

and the same way
with Jesus, the same we see with Jesus

and his disciples in the bible.
There were times where Jesus disciples

could not
get the job done,

where they didn't do what Jesus wanted
them to do.

One example is in matthew chapter 17,
where there was a man who brought his

son
to Jesus disciples, because

he wanted Jesus disciples to heal him or
set him free from a demon

and we read
the text here in matthew 17 from verse

16.
The bible says this:

I brought him to your disciples, but they
could not heal him and Jesus replied you

unbelieving and perverse generation, how
long must i be with you? How long must i

put up with you? Bring him to me.
And then we read that they brought the

boy to Jesus and Jesus healed him right
away, he set that boy free.

What Jesus said here you unbelieving and
perverse generation,

Jesus did not say that to the boy, who
needed deliverance, he did not say that to

the father who came with the boy,
he said that to his disciples,

because he was frustrated over them,
because they did not do, what they were

supposed to do.
And here you almost,

when i read this, i almost think of my
own example with my master,

there was times, where i messed it up, i
forgot to put things in the bread or i

forgot to take things off out of the
oven and suddenly he was shouting and i

came to him and he said: Torben, how long
time shall i keep up with you, you should

have learned by now and he
rebuked me and he was angry.

But
i learned,

i also learned by that and i
became better and i become better and i

become better.
So our goal is

of course to be perfect, but we are on
our journey and you will make mistakes,

it's part of life
and i always say like that: it's okay we

don't look exactly like Jesus now,
but it's not okay we don't look more

like Jesus now than we did last year. Why?
Because we are here to grow,

so when a person say yes to Jesus, that
person is actually saying yes

to apprenticeship
or discipleship,

an apprenticeship where he was supposed
to learn to walk

like Jesus and do like him.
You don't say yes to just go to church

two hours every sunday and sit there
year after year and after many years

still don't know how to do the things
Jesus called us to do. That is religion

and that is not what Jesus came with,
Jesus came with apprenticeship,

with discipleship, with the power of the
Holy Spirit.

So the first step of course is, that you
need to be born again,

we cannot walk like Jesus and do like
Jesus, if we don't

have the Holy Spirit in us, if we are not
born again. We need the power of the Holy

Spirit to do that. I remember there some
years ago, i was on a tv program on

danish tv and in the program there was a
famous muslim, a famous jew and that was

me and it was like a debate program,
where we are talking about different

things. After the program i sat down with
that muslim, that very famous muslim in

denmark and i said to her:
Tell me about your faith,

tell me about your faith, what God is
doing in your life

and she was surprised of my answer so
this muslim said: oh, yeah

it feels good, when i'm reading quran and
when i'm going and praying in the mosque.

Okay, tell me more: How do God speak to
you?

It feels good, when i'm reading the quran
and when i'm praying and going to the

mosque. Tell me more: How do God
give you dreams? How do God lead you?

It feels good, when i'm praying and
reading the quran. Tell me more: How do

people get healed through you? How do you
set people free?

And again: it feels good, when i'm reading
a quran and when i'm praying, that was

the only things she could say. Every time
i ask questions, tell me about your life

with God, tell me about your relationship,
tell me about what God is doing in your

life, the only answers she came with was:
oh, it feels good, when i do this and this

and then she asked me,
but what about you, tell me about your

life with God!
And i started to explain, how i met God,

how the Holy Spirit came into my life,
how God spoke to me about this and God,

the Holy Spirit led me and how i came
to a house and people get healed

and set free from demons, how i got
dreams and how i got pictures and i

started to tell about my relationship
with God,

tell about my walk with Jesus and what i
have experienced

and we were sitting there and talking
one and a half hour and she was just

asking question after question after
question

and for me that day it became very, very,
very clear, that there is a big

difference
between religion and relationship.

she
what she had was just a religion,

what i had was a relationship with God,

but the sad thing is, that christianity
for many christians is also a religion,

if i ask many Christians, who believe in
Jesus, who believe in God, who go to

church: Tell me about your life, how do
God use you? It feels good, when i'm

praying and going in the church. Tell me
about how do the Holy Spirit lead you? oh

it feels good, when i'm
praying and going to church. Tell me how

do god heal through you? It feels good, when…
Their answer would be like her answer,

It is just religion and i want to say what
Jesus came with was a relationship

and there is a big difference between
religion and relationship,

this is what Jesus said to some of a
religious leader

at his time.
He said this:

Woe to you teachers of the law and
Pharisees, you hypocrites!

You clean the outside of the cup and
dish, but inside they are full of greed

and self-undulgence.
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside

of the cup and dish, and then the outside
also will be clean.

Here you see
a big difference between religion and

relationship.
True christianity

is from inside and out,
true christianity is cleaning you inside,

is changing you inside, religion cannot
do that,

true christianity is a relationship,
true christianity is to be born again, it

is to become a disciple of Jesus, it is
to be transformed from inside and out,

where it become visible for everyone
around us that we follow Jesus,

but it starts with the inside,
it starts

with we getting born again,
so the true christianity is a

relationship with God and the Holy
Spirit, it is to become a new creation in

the inside and to experience freedom
from sin

and start to live a holy life like Jesus
called us to, a supernatural life, where

we are led by the Holy Spirit, where we
experience miracles, dreams and vision as

we read in the bible,
true christianity is alive, it's 24/7,

where we are the church, we are the
temple of the Holy Spirit, who is inside

of us.
As i said before,

some years ago i was sitting there
with the bible in one hand and my life

here
and the bible looks so very different

from how i was living, it was not the
same,

but then i did something about it, but it
was a long journey, but today my life

looks so much like the book of acts and
the same for you out there, it is going

to be a long journey for some of you, but
it's going to be an amazing journey,

so to end up,

i hope you are ready, i hope you are
ready to follow Jesus as his disciples,

as his apprentice.
Jesus did not use the word christian,

he used the word disciples, apprentice
and this is what we are called to do,

the normal christian
life is to be a disciple of Jesus,

it is not just to go to church sunday
after sunday and sit there and listen to

a sermon, but it is to live the life we
read about in the bible, the life we read

about in the book of acts,
our diary as i said should look the same

like we read in the book of acts,
because this is the normal life as a

disciple of Jesus.
So the way we come in and live this life

is by obeying what Jesus is saying in
his word.

Yes in the beginning we will do many
mistakes

and we will learn from those mistakes
and we will grow and grow and grow, so i

hope you are ready to follow Jesus and
learn to live the life he has for you, to

experience amazing things with him, our
everyday life as you read in the bible,

but first you need to be born again,
you need to be born again

and you need the Holy Spirit because
without that you cannot live this life

and this is what i'm going to talk about
in the next lesson. So I hope, you're ready

for the next lesson. God bless you and
see you in the next lesson.
