The third year of Bible Life University is called “Maturing: Year Three.” Jesus will be using it to build on the first and second years as He takes you to the next level of yielding to His life and ministry. This will be a time of using the Books For Successful Living program to help you and your friends be World Changers. It will also provide you with a devotional study where you will be walking with Jesus through the four Gospels.

Jesus will help you understand what He was and is trying to do in and through His people. He will further build on the attitudes, character, and presence He has, as He helps develop faith in all He is and all He provides the people of this world. He will take the full concepts of how to be a member of His Body and how to change the world for His glory and honor.

Our world is in horrible shape; it needs a lot of God-sized help and miraculous answers. Jesus was and is a World Changer; He started a system that has moved forward for two thousand years and has helped billions of people. He wants you to yield to His plan and allow Him to show you how to bring change to a desperate and dying world.

Jesus is the answer to all the people of this world and the answer to all their needs. If you allow Him to, He will flow through you to all who are willing to be blessed by Him. As He changes lives, many will share the changes He has made in them to those who need healing and transformation. You will learn Jesus’ system for reaching your world through an exponential growth system; He wants to make you into a World Changer.

During this year Jesus will be providing you with the explanation for why years one and two offer the systems they do. He will show you how to use your story, your experiences, your training, and your skills to start a Christian movement that will spread around the world. He will be encouraging you to expand His message and ministry without taking control over the lives of those you work with.

Jesus will explain why you have been trained to direct people into a close and intimate relationship with Him and their heavenly Father. You will see a way of connecting people to God so they can move forward in influencing their friends into the same relationship with Him that they have. He will show you that by you helping them start getting their training from Him, He will lead them into all truth. He will empower them to live it and share it with others.

If all Christian leaders will work with Jesus to build a close relationship with Him, people will be empowered to spread Jesus quickly around the world. But, if they build people around themselves, their ministry, and their organization, it will soon bog down and stop. If you help your friends learn how to get their spiritual growth through a close and intimate relationship with Jesus, then you won’t have to build strong organizations and structures that keep them locked into your programs. If your friends know how to go straight to Jesus for their answers and power, they will be able to spend their time seeking Him and working with Him as they reach out to THEIR friends.

Private devotions, personal devotions, small groups, home church gatherings, church meeting, and other Christian meetings will all only be for the purpose of helping everyone get their OWN PERSONAL relationship with Jesus. If they are properly led into this kind of relationship, then they will be able to keep growing and progressing through Him. Once a person is involved with such a ministry, the spread of Christianity will be like the structure of a tree.

As you look at the branches of a tree, you can see how Jesus intended for Christianity to spread. There is a trunk, large branches spreading out from that trunk, medium branches spreading out from the large branches, smaller branches spreading out from the medium sized branches, and twigs growing out of all those smaller branches. They are all connected so the food and resources can flow from the roots all the way to the smallest twig and leaf.

Jesus is our root system and trunk; as we grow in an intimate relationship with Him, we become large branches that work with all our friends; they soon become medium branches who work with all their friends; their friends soon become small branches who are working with their friends; their friends soon become twigs who will grow into branches so they can work with their friends. Gradually, as each person matures, they are empowered by Jesus to break off from you and connect to Him directly. The goal of every person is to grow spiritually to the place where they can connect to Jesus for themselves. It is your job to get them ready to be supernaturally grafted directly into the trunk of Jesus.

If you keep growing and praying for your friends, Jesus will be able to use you to help your friends, who will help their friends, who will help their friends, who will help their friends grow into a close and intimate relationship with God. As long as Jesus is being allowed to flow through you to others, life will flow into everyone you work with. You will never count, collect, organize, or take ownership of any of your friends, their friends, or any of the friends that come through them. You will always be available to pray for and futher train them in how to keep getting closer to Jesus; but, you must help them learn how to look to Jesus.

The more you teach your friends how to have an intimate relationship with Jesus, the more they will get ready for that special time when Jesus supernaturally grafts them into Himself. From there, they will be able to get other people ready to be removed from their connection with you and them and be supernaturally grafted into Jesus. You must not see them as yours; you must allow Jesus to lead them and train them. He will flow through you; but, it will be Him flowing into them as you yield to Him. Jesus must be their God, their Leader, their Trainer, their Mentor, their Minister, and their power to be a World Changer. Jesus’ METHOD will spread Christianity around the world; and, it will spread a TYPE of Christianity that God will be pleased with.
