Before you chase your Gift or Anointing, chase Character, because if your Character cannot handle your Gift, you will shipwreck.
Jesus chose His Apostles first as Disciples, aka Disciplined ones. He chose His Disciplined Ones before He even thought about doing a miracle.
They followed Him without seeing one miracle happen. They followed Him for the Word, and for Discipline in doing the Word.
DISCIPLES Follow the WORD in a Disciplined WAY
Jesus had Disciples based on the Word BEFORE He did any miracles or gathered any crowds.
Before Jesus did one miracle:
– He had 12 disciples that were completely repented according to the Baptism of John.
– These 12 were following Him in repentance and being taught the kingdom.
False Prophets use miracles and crowds to get disciples INSTEAD of making disciples based on the Word.
False Converts won’t follow any Discipleship based on the Word UNLESS they first see miracles and crowds.

True Disciples follow Jesus for The Word.
John 6:
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Crowds follow the Provision (fishes & loaves).
Hypocrites follow the Talent (Luke 12:1).
Opportunists can follow the Anointing (Judas & Zealots).
Disciples follow the Word.
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.
