Find True Identity Discipleship: neXt stepX

neXt stepX provides teachers and students the opportunity to deepen their relationship with Jesus; coming to know the fullness of God more intimately (Ephesians 3:19; Galatians 5:1, 22-24). Specifically, a true and surrendered Believer learns to live from Jesus' Life through seven realtional truths—the 7 L's. And yes, these seven are fitted into the five—the 5 P's of basiX. Designed to bring help and healing to the soul. 
 

God's POWER & PLAN

The first three L's of neXt stepX flow from the first three P's of basiX: God's POWER & PLAN... and are as follows—

...coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as my:   

  • Sovereign Lord: i.e., responding to Jesus in the obedience of faith—both in the:
    • ‘getting saved’—i.e., captured by repentance & faith… and the—
    • ‘living saved’—i.e., continuing in repentance & faith 
(Romans 1:5, 16:25-27; Hebrews 11:28) 
 
...coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as my:  
  • Forgiving Lamb: ...atoned by—being ‘at one’ with—Jesus in His forever forgiveness; which prompts and motivates the true and surrendered Believer to learn to live forgiven and forgiving
(John 1:29; Ephesians 1:7; 4:32; Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 4:10)
 
...coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as my:  
  • Saving Life: ...this new Life matures into a total commitment to living a surrendered Life—an exchanged Life—i.e.:
    • learning to live from God's saving Life within... i.e.—
    • learning this isn't my life to live; rather, it's Jesus' Life to live in and through me​​​​​​​​
(Galatians 2:20 and its OT twin Isaiah 40:31; 2 Corinthians 5:17 & 21) 
 

God's PERSPECTIVE  

The second two L's of the seven flow from the third P—God's PERSPECTIVE; however, we must pick up with the third L above—coming to know Jesus as our saving Life. We already understand we are called to a total commitment of living a surrendered Life— an exchagfned Life. Now, let's take a look at how we might dive deeper into knowing  and experienicng Jesus as Life...   

...coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as:  

  • Saving Life: living a surrendered Life by embracing Jesus as:
    • my true identity... and—
    • my true intimacy
As Jesus lives His Life in and through me and I intentionally live from Him (yes, its all about relationship!). Holy Spirit prompts me, more and more, 
towards right living; towards the freedom of obedience.
 
(Romans 6:15-23; Philippians 1:6; 2:12-13; 3:7-11; 4:7-8; Colossians 1:27; 2:13-14; 3:1-4)

..coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as my: 

  • Rescuing Liberator: learning to live in step with our new nature, our new identity, and our new destiny; learning biblical strategies for both biblical recovery and discovery... which are:

    • Recovery: the real help and healing of God’s Life that produces significant and lasting change (a divine exchange) from life-shattering addictions and betrayals, and from false intimacies to Jesus’ Life of freedom and wholeness 

    • Discovery: by studying God and others, myself and my struggles from the absolute authority of God’s Word, in the power of Holy Spirit

Romans 8; Galatians 5; Ephesians 4:17-5:21

..coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as my: 

  • All-Wise Leader: learning to follow Jesus, moment by moment; yes, learning to live from His purpose and fulfillment—i.e., God's good, God’s delight, God’s desire for me; lost in Eden, regained in salvation, and  experienced as Jesus lives His Life in and through me...
(Genesis 3:6; Luke 9:23-27; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 1:27) 
 

God's PRESENCE & PEACE

The last two L's of the seven flow from the fourth and fifth P's—God's Presence and Peace. Above we ended with what is entailed to follow Jesus. Now we begin with how to rest in God's PRESENCE & PEACE.

...coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as my: 

  • All-Wise Leader: learning to rest in Jesus's Presence—resting (trusting) in Jesus as my Lord, my Lamb, my Life, my Liberator, and my Leader... so, I may enjoy His goodness, His delight, and His desire for me ..which leads me into—

Ephesians 1-6 (1:6; 4:17-5:21) 

...coming to know Jesus more deeply and intimately as my: 
  • Light-Source of Grace & Truth: learning the purity of walking in Jesus' Life, Light, and Love! 
Colossians 3:1-17; 1st, 2nd, & 3rd John (1 John 3:1-3)
 
...so ultimately, I may know and experience Jesus Christ as the:
  • Perfect Lover of my Soul: basking in the surrendered Life to God—learning and receiving true intimacy from Jesus, our Husband—our Eternal Life and forever Companion!
Jeremiah 31:3; Psalm 23; Song of Solomon 1:7, 2:4;  John 17:3; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3:7-11; 1 John 5:20-21; Revelation 1:5)
