Welcome to Messiah’s Colt

PAGE 3B — For the New Believer: How to Walk the Ancient Pathway

For those who have believed — and now want to grow.

You have taken the first step.
You have turned toward the Light.
You have asked the Father to open your eyes,
and He has begun to do exactly that.

Now comes the most misunderstood part of the journey.

Most churches stop at salvation.
Most believers stop at forgiveness.
Most pulpits stop at grace.

But Scripture never stops at the doorway.
The Ancient Pathway begins there.

Because the Father who saves you
now calls you to walk with Him.

Not as a fearful servant.
Not as a church attendee.
Not as a ritual performer.

But as a child learning the voice of the Father,
the example of the Son,
and the leading of the Spirit.

This is your path now.

1. You Were Saved by Grace — But Saved For Something

You may already know Ephesians 2:8–9:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
not as a result of works,
so that no man may boast.”

This is the beginning.
This is how you enter the family of God.

But almost no one teaches the very next verse—
the verse that tells you why you were saved:

“For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand
so that we would walk in them.”
(Ephesians 2:10)

Grace brings you into the family.
Obedience matures you within it.

Not to earn salvation —
but because you belong to the King now
and the Son shows you how to walk like a true heir.

2. Learning the Father’s Voice

You cannot walk the Ancient Pathway
if you do not know whose footsteps to follow.

And most believers today
have been taught about Jesus
while never being taught the Father.

But the Son did not hide the Father.
He revealed Him.

He taught His disciples to pray:

“Our Father…”
(Matthew 6:9–13)

He declared:

“The Father… is greater than I.”
(John 14:28)

He obeyed:

“I do nothing on My own initiative…
I speak just as the Father has told Me.”
(John 12:49–50)

He modeled what it means
to be a Son under a King.

This is why He often withdrew to pray —
not because He lacked divinity,
but because He left His authority behind
and came as a man
who needed the Father’s instruction
day by day,
night by night,
step by step.

You must learn to live the same way.

Not assuming.
Not guessing.
Not feeling.
But listening.

3. The Spirit Is Not Emotion — He Is the Instructor

When Yeshua was baptized, something happened
that had never happened before in all of Scripture:

“The Spirit descended upon Him and remained.”
(John 1:32–33)

Mark uses a word found only once in the entire Bible:
impelled — driven by the Spirit under the King's command.
(Mark 1:12, NASB)

This is not emotional impulse.
This is instruction.

A military term.
A royal command.
A divine direction.

The Spirit did not come to make you “feel spiritual.”
He came to make you obedient.

He leads.
He teaches.
He convicts.
He guides.
He restrains.
He illuminates the Scriptures.
He shapes your conscience.
He conforms you to the image of the Son
by drawing you back to the authority of the Father.

This is the Ancient Pathway.

4. The Scriptures Are How You Are Washed and Regenerated

You cannot walk with God
if you are not daily washed by His Word.

This is not poetry.
It is spiritual physiology.

Scripture says plainly:

“Washed…
regenerated…
renewed…
by the Word of God.”

You are not transformed by willpower.
You are not transformed by emotion.
You are not transformed by positive thinking.

You are transformed
when the Word of God
cuts, heals, instructs, and reorders your life
with the same authority that formed creation.

Open the Scriptures.
Let them speak.
Let them correct you.
Let them confront your assumptions.
Let them reveal the Father you never knew.

Every page is a doorway into truth.

5. The First Steps on the Ancient Pathway

A. Return daily to the Scriptures

Even one chapter.
Even one paragraph.
Light enters slowly, then suddenly.

B. Ask the Father to teach you

He will.
He promised He would.
He delights to.

C. Follow the Son’s example

Humility.
Obedience.
Prayer.
Submission to the Father’s will.

D. Yield to the Spirit’s correction

When He convicts, do not resist.
When He prompts, do not delay.

E. Commit to a posture of repentance

Repentance is not one moment.
It is a lifestyle.
A constant returning to the Father.

6. What You Can Expect as You Grow

  • Clarity

  • Peace

  • Conviction

  • Hunger

  • Joy

  • A new seriousness

  • A new discernment

  • A new ability to recognize truth from error

  • A new awareness of the Father’s presence

  • A growing distinction between the Father, the Son, and the Spirit

  • A hunger for prophetic understanding that is rooted in Scripture alone

This is the journey from infant to disciple.
From believer to follower.
From saved to obedient.
From wandering to walking with God.

You are no longer at the doorway.
You are inside the house now.

And you are ready for more.
