Does it mean Discipleship Training School? Maybe But what does it really mean? There has to be something deeper Maybe it means Die To Self? I think that is what the true meaning is Die To Self what a simple statement Simple yes, but full of revelation Simple to understand? Yes But to follow through with? NO! Dying To Self Good Idea But how? I know what is right I know what is wrong I don't do what is right But I do what is wrong. Why? I want to do right I want to please my Heavenly Father I want to do what he wants me to do In the end I want to hear "Well done, my good and faithful servant" But I do not do what is right I do what I know is wrong I hear His voice warning me I hear him pleading with me to stop I hear him crying as I ignore the voice I know I am hurting the one who Loves me I feel little or no remorse or regret Why? Because my spirit is weak, but my flesh is strong I say I will go to the ends of the world for you I say I will die for you I say I will do what ever you want me to No matter the cost But it is easier to go to the ends of the earth It is easy to be brave for God To stand up in the face of persecution Yes even to be a Martyr for Christ is easy But to Die To Self, that is the hard thing To Die To Self is a daily thing To die every day is hard To fast is hard to pray and read the Word is hard To spend time with God is hard This all goes against self How do die to self? Can you die to self? Yes you can! How? You need to starve self Do not exercise self Daily read the Word Daily spend one on one with the Father Fast and pray make your spirit strong Then you will Die To Self But do not stop feeding you spirit Because if you do not you will not die to self If you do keep your spirit strong, You will Die To Self -Isaiah O'Connor-This poem or series of thoughts, what ever you want to call it was inspired after I had stumbled after my Discipleship Training School in 1998.
