10 Principles of Spirit-Filled Discipleship - Jack Hayford

I have been using these 10 Principles of Spirit-Filled Discipleship from Ps Jack Hayford recently in a range of ways.

Here is the complete list from his book, Living the Spirit-Formed Life.

THE FIRST DISCIPLINE: COMMITTING TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)


THE SECOND DISCIPLINE: LIVING IN THE POWER OF BAPTISM
“But Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness’.” (Matt. 3:15)

THE THIRD DISCIPLINE: THE RESOURCES OF THE LORD’S TABLE
“Take, eat; this is my body … Drink from it, all of you.” (Matt. 26:26,27)
........... living in the shadow of the Cross.


THE FOURTH DISCIPLINE: THE SPIRIT OF FORGIVENESS
“I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?” (Matt. 18:32,33)

THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE: FEEDING ON THE WORD OF GOD
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
(Matt. 4:4)

THE SIXTH DISCIPLINE: MAINTAINING INTEGRITY OF HEART
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matt.5:8)

THE SEVENTH DISCIPLINE: ABIDING IN THE FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT
“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38)

THE EIGHTH DISCIPLINE: LIVING A LIFE OF SUBMISSION
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”(Matt. 16:24)

THE NINTH DISCIPLINE: THE PRACTICE OF SOLITUDE
“Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” (Mark 1:35)

THE TENTH DISCIPLINE: THE LIFE OF A WORSHIPER
“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” (John 4:23)
