Who needs to have the most influencein your life?
THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST
Luke 6:46- Is Jesus Lord of your life?Every follower of Jesus must submit to His Lordship in their life.
Peter’s example-1.) John 1:40-42- First encounter with Jesus
Peter’s 1st response= He followed Jesus2.)Mt. 4:18-20- Second encounter with Jesus
Peter’s 2nd response= Left his nets and followed Jesus3.)Luke 5:1-11- Third encounter with Jesus
Peter’s 3rd response (THE DECISIVE POINT)= Called Jesus Lord, left everything and followed Jesus
Conclusion: John 21:1-3- Peter wasn’t following Jesus again!John 21:19-22, John 12:26- You MUST FOLLOW JESUS!
It’s a process!Have you called Jesus Lord?Are you following Jesus?

THE CALL TO FOLLOW
Big Picture- A world at war (Not conventional) Ephesians 6:12- Spiritual warfare
1.) Two Kingdoms- Luke 4:5-8-Satan tests Jesus’ commitment to the Father-Already given to Jesus- Psalms 2:1-91.) Kingdom of God (Allies)2.) Kingdom of Satan (Axis)
What are wars generally fought over? Land This war is different…
2.) Spiritual Battle Field- Luke 11:21-221.) Strong= Satan 2.) Stronger= Son of God3.) Spoils= Souls of men
Jesus and Satan are fighting over the souls of men and women.
3.) The Key Battle- Matthew 4:18-20- “Follow Me”1.) Spend time with Jesus= QT2.) Learn from Jesus= Mentor, Fellowship3.) Become like Jesus= Become a fisher of men
Are you following Jesus in these 3 areas?

Introduction: Generally speaking, when the book of Revelation is brought up, what is the first thought? End times! I agree that Revelation does discuss the end times, but I think we overlook something very important in the first three chapters of the book.
