Discipleship Training Course

DTC- DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING COURSE
Accepting the Holy Spirit and walking in the Spirit means that we
allow Him to fill our spirits with His presence, allowing Him to control
our lives, so that every step we take in life will truly be a reflection
of godly character. We cannot be an effective disciple of Jesus
without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:9-11 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You
are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in
you. And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ
living in them do not belong to Him at all. And Christ lives within
you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit
gives you life because you have been made right with God. The
Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just
as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your
mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
How to keep the Fire of the Holy Spirit burning:
Hunger. A hunger is formed when a stomach is empty. Ask God to
cultivate a hunger within your belly for His power to be released in
your life. That will mean that you will have to concisely stop filling
yourself with ungodly things. For it is the things of this world that stills
the hunger for the Lord.
Renew your mind with the Word. Having the Word of God
ingrained in your heart daily restores and refreshes you in your
confidence in God and understanding of all Jesus has done for
you and for the world. Filling our minds with all that is around us
even religious activities clouds the very core of our sight from what
is true. Guarding your mind is like keeping the wood that you have
collected for the fire dry.
Cultivate a friendship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person.
We need the presence of God in our lives, so we need to spend
time with Him. As we make it a habit to spend time with the Holy
Spirit every day, we will learn to hear and see what the Father is
saying and doing.
Risk. Don’t be afraid to step out boldly for the Lord. As long as you
go out in love and humility. There is many expecting a touch from
God, and it could be through you. Don’t let your disobedience
