The Difference between being a Disciple & being a Son

5/27/2020


“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.  Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20


We are commanded to do 2 things.
• Go
• Make Disciples of all Nations


We make Disciples by doing 2 things.
• Baptizing
• Teaching


Jesus works with us as we make Disciples.
• He also gave us His delegated Authority to do so.


‘And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” ’ Mark 16:15


• “Go” is “Go into all The World”.


Make Disciples of all Nations

We make Disciples.
• We make by functioning in the name God.
• We make new by functioning in the name The LORD God Almighty.
• Which name do we make Disciples in?
• This needs Discovery & confirmation.


We make Disciples of all Nations.
• What are Nations?
• Anyone who is not yet Israel is a Nation.
• Including all believers in Yeshua who have not yet become Overcomers.


Baptizing
• Baptizing comes before Teaching.


There are many Baptisms.
• Baptism into Repentance
• Baptism into Water
• Baptism into the Holy Spirit
• Baptism into Fire
• Baptism into Death (Separation from Sin, Self-Ego & Self-Government)
• Baptism into Glory
• Baptism into Unity
• Baptism into The Fathers


Teaching
• Teaching to do.
• Not just Teaching to hear.
• Specifically, it is teaching to do all that Yeshua taught The 12 to do.
• More specifically it is Teaching as a Forerunner / Apostle.
• Forerunners / Apostles teach Disciples who are not yet their Sons.


What does it mean to be a Disciple?
• Disciples follow Forerunners.
• Disciples are Baptized by Forerunners.
• Disciples are Taught to do by Forerunners.


What is the Difference between being a Disciple & being a Son?
Here is part of the difference.
• Disciples are made by Forerunners.
• Sons are begotten (created) & fathered by Fathers.


Here is another major difference.
• Disciples are Nations (plural).
• Sons are a Nation / One Nation (singular).
• Sons are Israel.


What does it mean to be Israel?
• Israel was Jacob before he was Israel.
• Israel is the 3rd generation from Abraham.
• Israel’s Sons became The Nation of Israel.
• The Nation of Israel is the 4th Generation from Abraham.


Generations from Abraham.
1. Abraham – First Father & Father of us All
2. Isaac – The Son of Promise
3. Jacob who became Israel – The Overcomer
4. Israel’s 12 Sons – The Nation of Israel


Israel was Jacob before he was Israel.
• Jacob prevailed (overcame) with God & man.
• Jacob was given the New Name of Israel.


Israel’s 12 Sons became The Nation of Israel.
• Israel had 12 Sons.
• Each became a Father of a House / of a Tribe.
• 12 Tribes became the Nation of Israel.


One Great Holy Nation of Israel.
• One – One God & Father of All
• Great – The Lord God makes our name Great & makes us a Great Nation
• Holy – The LORD God Almighty alone is Holy
• Nation – 4 Generations to become a Nation
• Israel – The Overcomer


Becoming a Son is a Journey.
• It includes The Baptism into The Fathers.
• It involves becoming The Son of many Fathers.


Father God has chosen to father us as His Son through many Fathers.
• Father God is a great delegator of training.
• His delegation of training began with The 7 Spirits of God.


Father God trains us as His Son through many Fathers.
• Many have gone before us.
• Some are Fathers in this life on Earth.
• We have many Fathers in Heaven.
• We have few on Earth.
• One at a time.
• One after another.
• Your final Father will train you up as a Son.


Father & Son are One.
• We grow into One with Father God by growing into One with our Father.
• Above all being a Son to a Father is being in relationship with a Father.
• Relationship involves doing what your Father is doing with your Father.
• Relationship is both beautiful & exceedingly difficult.


By living practical Oneness with your Father you become One with The Father.
• Being One is not merely a position / name.
• It is not theoretical.
• It is a living working relationship.
• You will come to work together as a Team.


What is the Difference between being a Disciple & being a Son?


Disciple
• Disciples are made by Forerunners.
• Disciples follow a Forerunner.
• A Forerunner is someone who is functioning fully in The Kingdom Age.


Son
• Sons are begotten & fathered by Fathers.
• Sons build their Father’s House with their Father.
• A Father is someone who is functioning fully in The Age of Melchizedek.


I have seen a repeated Pattern on my Journey.
• Over & over I have thought that I was further along than I actually was.
• Seeing is not becoming.
• There is much Journey in between Seeing & Becoming.
• There is also much Journey between seeing in part & seeing in whole!


Most of what I originally thought was fathering was actually forerunning.
Fathering is training to function in 5 names. (Read up from the bottom.)
• Son / Son of God
• Priest
• King
• Forerunner / Apostle
• Revealer / Prophet


Everything before this is Forerunning / Making Disciples.
