When Yeshua says "Follow Me" - His instructions and actions follow!

Mat 4:18 And Yeshua, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Mat 4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

Mat 4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

Mat 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

Mat 4:23 And Yeshua went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Mat 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Mat 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

ARE WE TEACHING, PREACHING AND HEALING IN HIS NAME?

Mat 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

Mat 8:20 And Yeshua saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Mat 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Rabbi, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

Mat 8:22 But Yeshua said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Mat 8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

Mat 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

Mat 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Rabbi, save us: we perish.

Mat 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Mat 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

Mat 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Mat 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Yeshua, thou Son of Elohim? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

Mat 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

Mat 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

Mat 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

Mat 8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

Mat 8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Yeshua:and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

ARE WE REBUKING THE STORMS OF LIFE AND DEMON NUISANCES IN HIS NAME? A PIG IS AN UNCLEAN ANIMAL - ESSENTIALLY DEAD FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, TOO, AND THAT WOULD PREACH!

Luk 9:57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Rabbi, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

Luk 9:58 And Yeshua said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Luk 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Rabbi, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

Luk 9:60 Yeshua said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of YHVH.

Luk 9:61 And another also said, Rabbi, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

Luk 9:62 And Yeshua said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of YHVH.

YES, THERE ARE TIMES LIFE THROWS US SADNESS AND SORROW AND DEATH - BUT MESSIAH STILL REQUIRES THAT WE FOLLOW HIM AND PREACH THE KINGDOM OF YHVH TO THOSE STILL WITH US!

Mat 9:9 And as Yeshua passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

Mat 9:10 And it came to pass, as Yeshua sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

Mat 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Rabbi with publicans and sinners?

Mat 9:12 But when Yeshua heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Mat 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

SO MESSIAH WENT INTO THE LOCAL PUB WHERE SINNERS AND PUBLICANS WERE...BUT WHO WAS ALSO THERE? THE PHARISEES!!! SOMETIMES THOSE AROUND US THAT LOOK LIKE THE LORD ON THE OUTSIDE ARE CESSPOOLS ON THE INSIDE - AND THOSE THAT LOOK LIKE CESSPOOLS ON THE OUTSIDE, LOVE THE LORD WAY DEEP DOWN AND NEED HIM THE MOST!
IT'S OUR JOB TO FOLLOW MESSIAH AND LEAD SINNERS TO REPENTANCE THROUGH OUR WITNESS AND TESTIMONY!

Mat 16:24 Then said Yeshua unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Mat 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

WE ALL WANT ETERNAL LIFE WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY THE COST OF FOLLOWING YESHUA, BUT HE MAKES IT CLEAR HERE - #1 DENY OURSELVES; #2 TAKE UP OUR TORTURE STAKE; # 3 FOLLOW HIM - BECAUSE TO GAIN LIFE, WE MUST SACRIFICE ALL - JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER TALMUDIM OF YESHUA!

Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Rabbi, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, YHVH: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Yeshua said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Mat 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

Mat 19:21 Yeshua said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Mat 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Mat 19:23 Then said Yeshua unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of YHVH.

Mat 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

Mat 19:26 But Yeshua beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with YHVH all things are possible.

Mat 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Mat 19:28 And Yeshua said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my names sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Mat 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

HERE IT IS AGAIN, THE COST...# 1 SELL EVERYTHING WE HAVE; #2 GIVE TO THE POOR; #3 GAIN TREASURE IN HEAVEN! WHO DOESN'T WANT THAT? BUT IT'S ANOTHER SACRIFICE MESSIAH COMMANDS US IN FOLLOWING HIM!

Joh 1:43 The day following Yeshua would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

Joh 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Joh 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Yeshua of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Joh 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Joh 1:47 Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Joh 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Yeshua answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

Joh 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of YHVH; thou art the King of Israel.

Joh 1:50 Yeshua answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

Joh 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of YHVH ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

FOLLOWING MESSIAH AS THE SON OF YHVH AND THE KING OF ISRAEL MEANS WE UNDERSTAND HE IS IN EVERY BOOK OF SCRIPTURE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION - AND WE LEARN THAT THROUGH STUDY, PRACTICE AND APPLICATION - ALL PART OF FOLLOWING HIM AND KNOWING WHO HE TRULY IS...BUT IT BEARS THE QUESTION - DOES HE KNOW US?

Joh 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.

Joh 10:25 Yeshua answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Fathers name, they bear witness of me.

Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Joh 12:23 And Yeshua answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

Joh 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Joh 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Joh 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Joh 21:15 So when they had dined, Yeshua saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Rabbi; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

Joh 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Rabbi; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Rabbi, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Yeshua saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Joh 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

Joh 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify YHVH. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
