About I'm Following Jesus

I'm Following Jesus is not-for-profit cyber-missions inspired by the following Scripture, Jesus Said: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." - Matthew 28:19,20. I am going into all nations, teaching the Gospel of Christ, instructed by none other than my Lord Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit. 

What I Believe & Teach on This Website

 What I believe and teach can be verified through the King James Bible.

1. The Scriptures

 I believe that the sixty-six books of the Bible are the written Word of God. The Bible is divinely inspired and free from error throughout, in that holy men of God were directed by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." - II Timothy 3:16,17. I believe that the Authorized Version of the King James Bible is His Word Preserved and the only True Bible for the English language.

2. The Trinity

 I believe that there is Only One True and Living God; One God in three Persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable.

God the Father: God, as Father, reigns over all of His universe with providential care and is all powerful, all loving, all knowing, and all wise.

God the Son: I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, is the eternal Son of God, whom became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. He accomplished this redemption by voluntarily giving Himself as a sinless, sacrifice on the cross, thereby satisfying God's righteous judgment against sin. After the accomplishment of that redemption and justification by His bodily resurrection from the grave, He ascended to the right hand of His Father, where He intercedes on behalf of those who trust Him

God the Holy Spirit: I believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Person who convicts the world of sin; that He alone brings new life to those who are spiritually dead; that He baptizes (or places) all believers into the one true Church, which is the Body of Christ; that He indwells them permanently, seals them unto the day of final redemption, bestows spiritual gifts upon them, and fills those who are yielding to Him. Every believer is called to live in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit so that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh, but will bear fruit to the glory of God.

3. Creation

 I believe that man was created directly by God and in His image and that He created the heavens and the earth, including all life, by direct act in six literal twenty-four hour days about 6,000 years ago.

4. Man

I believe that although the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve, was created in the image of God, their fall into sin is the basis for the necessity of salvation for mankind. Death, both physical and spiritual entered into this world subsequent to and as a direct consequence of man's sin. This is true of all men; and all men are sinners, inherently from Adam and individually by choice and are therefore subject to God's wrath and condemnation. Except a man be born again by the Holy Spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

5. Salvation

 I believe that salvation is the gift of God's grace alone and is expressed in the individual's repentance, recognition of Christ's death as full payment for sin, and acceptance of the risen Christ as as Savior. Salvation cannot be gained or made more secure by meritorious works, but is freely bestowed upon all who put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary. All who so trust the Savior are forgiven of their sins and born into the family of God by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. Freedom from the penalty and power of sin is available to man only through Christ's sacrificial death, His shed blood, and His complete and bodily resurrection from the dead. Those who do not believe in Christ are subject to everlasting punishment. Believers enjoy eternal life with God.

6. The Devil - Satan

 I believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin, a liar and the father of lies, and the reason for the fall of man, and is destined to the judgment of an eternal punishment in the lake of fire. He is the personal spiritual adversary of both God and man.

7. Atonement For Sin

 I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe on Him are redeemed by His shed blood. I believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ and in His ascension into heaven; He is our High Priest and Advocate.

8. Eternal Security

  I believe that Christ keeps those who are truly born again, once one accepts Him into his/her life, he/she receives eternal life.

9. The Christian Walk

  I believe that we have a holy calling to walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, and so to live in the power of the indwelling Spirit in order that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. The flesh is never eradicated in this life. Individuals must choose to keep the flesh in subjection to Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, or the flesh will surely manifest its presence in life and dishonor our Lord.

How This Website is Inspired by God

  This website is truly inspired by God. The Holy Spirit has been directing me with this from the start. Here is my testimony.

1. The Name

 Here I am on a Thursday morning, June 5, 2009 5:30am, praying to God to give me direction on how He wanted me to serve Him using the internet. I already had a website promoting the Gospel, but thought there was something not quite right. Then all of a sudden this name pops in my head, readytofollow.com. The name sounded catchy and too good to be true and I actually thought, "No way?", but I did not disregard it and when I got up I checked to see if the domain was available. First think I thought Praise God, He gave me a name!

2. The Finances

 I am a self employed website designer who has been hit very hard by the economy, I can go weeks without getting work. I had no way to pay for the domain name to get the website going. I prayed for the money and got just enough work to buy the name after giving God His part.

3. Instant Access

 I created a few pages off of a free website builder first, I purchased the domain name and the second I clicked finish the website was alive. It can normally take up to 48 hours for a website to go live.

4.Quick Search

 I registered the domain name with Google the next day, usually a website takes about 3 weeks for it to get picked up by the search engines. Within two days it could be found on the Google search, within two weeks it was listed at number 44 in the search. Within a month it was listed on the first page.

The amazing and wonderful power of God! without Him, this site would not exist. I believe that God will use this site in a great way to help not only get many of the lost found, but to also provide wonderful encouragement and inspiration to keep all Following Jesus.
