To Have A Different Spirit

[Mr. M]

Number 14:24 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully,

I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.

Joshua 14:

13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance. 

14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day,

because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel.

Not only did Caleb have that different spirit, but by his Hebrew wife Ephrathah,

he established the lineage that traces directly to King David,

who reigned for 7 years in Hebron, and was from Bethlehem Ephrathah, the city of our Lord's birth. 

 

Seek To Have That Different Spirit.  It is found here.

John 12:25 He who loves his life will lose it,

and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

Luke 14:

26 If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, 

yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 

27 And whoever does not bear his cross and comes after Me cannot be My disciple. 

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost,

whether he has enough to finish it;

29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 

30 saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish? 

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider

whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 

32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 

33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

The mark of true discipleship

Mark 10:

28 Then Peter began to say to Him,

“See, we have left all and followed You.”

29 So Jesus answered and said, 

“Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one

who has left house or brothers or sisters

or father or mother or wife or children or lands,

for My sake and the gospel’s, 

30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time

houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children

and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come, eternal life. 

31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

There needs to come a point when one asks,

"am I a disciple, or a sheep; or even a goat?"

Can it be said of you:

2 Corinthians 6:10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;

as poor, yet making many rich;

as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Time to soon remember Jesus Christ our Passover lamb and to reflect to consider if indeed  each of us is in the Faith.

[Know Jah]

Yes Jesus at Luke 22:19 state "Keep doing this in remembrance of me" Why did Jesus want us to keep doing this?
