What Satan’s Counting On After You Say Yes to Jesus
The Rescue Was Just the Beginning
You were never meant to stay there.
If you’ve just accepted Jesus—don’t stop now. That moment of rescue wasn’t the end of the story. It was the beginning of something deeper, harder, and infinitely more beautiful.
Too many people treat salvation like a finish line. But in the eyes of Jesus, it’s a starting line. The Catholic faith doesn’t speak of a single “moment of salvation.” It speaks of a life—a daily “yes” to God’s grace, a lifelong surrender to the One who saved us. Saying yes to Jesus is something you do again and again.
And that’s exactly the kind of relationship He rescued you for.
💧 The Relationship You Were Created For
God didn’t create you to be a spectator. He created you for union—not just belief. You were made to be one with Him in heart, soul, mind, and strength. To receive His love and pour it back. To live with Him, walk with Him, and even become like Him.
That’s what you were made for.
But sin destroyed that unity. It poisoned what was pure. It defiled your soul, disrupted your thoughts, and bent your actions toward darkness. You became separated—not just from God, but from the life you were meant to live.
And yet Jesus didn’t leave you there.
✝️ You Saw the Cross as Rescue, Not Just Sacrifice
In the Rescue Encounter, you didn’t just learn about sin—you felt its devastation. You saw the wreckage it causes—not only in your life, but in the entire world. You saw how Satan mocks and enslaves, how even the smallest sin separates.
And you saw the Cross.
Not as a symbol. Not just a sacrifice. But as a rescue mission.
If you turned to Jesus with your whole heart, He responded. He saved you. Not just from hell. Not just from guilt. He saved you for relationship. He reached into the pit to lift you up…
But here’s the part we can’t forget: Jesus didn’t rescue you to leave you there.
🌍 The World You Return To: Satan’s Bazaar
The moment you walk back into your daily routine, it hits you: noise. Distraction. Busyness. Lies.
The Rescue brought clarity—but the world is still chaos. It’s like walking into a bizarre marketplace where everything is for sale—comfort, comparison, approval, indulgence. And Satan? He’s the salesman.
He’ll offer you anything… as long as you don’t keep walking with Jesus.
Because the enemy knows something most of us forget: A yes to Jesus means nothing if it isn’t followed by another one tomorrow.
👣 The Next Step: Walking Daily With Jesus
This is what the Discipleship Encounter is all about.
Jesus doesn’t just want your belief—He wants your life. He wants your mornings. Your thoughts. Your struggles. Your decisions. He wants to teach you how to walk—not once, but every day.
In the next Encounter, you’ll learn how to build a rhythm of prayer and Scripture. You’ll discover how to hear Jesus speaking into your real life. You’ll understand your mission, your identity, and how to live free—not just saved.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about obedience. It’s about waking up and choosing Him again. And again. And again.
🧍♂️ You’re Not Meant to Walk Alone
Even Jesus didn’t walk alone.
He called disciples. He lived with them. He trained them—through relationship. And that’s still His model.
Mentorship isn’t a program. It’s a person walking with you. Someone who helps you listen, stay focused, and keep moving. Someone who reminds you who you are when the world tries to drown it out.
You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to keep going.
🙌 Keep Saying Yes
If you finished the Rescue Encounter—thank God. If you accepted Jesus—thank Him again. But don’t stop there.
The next step isn’t extra. It’s everything.
Jesus is still walking. And He’s calling you to walk with Him—every day, in every moment, until the day He brings you home.
Come with us. Say yes again.
