    Bring your problems to Jesus

    Baptize them in the Living Water


    Not a fan of my neighbor’s mannerisms

    Yet love them

    Constantly question and test

    Even the pastor

    Pay attention

    God wink at mission church parking

    Frank and Michael relationship


    Empty the wraith from the cup


    Holy Spirit pray you help me see them

    Like you see them


    Do not react until you bring it to God


    Increase patience

    By baptizing your thoughts in God


    Repent/confession

    Rips out of your flesh

    And puts it on the alter


    Pray

    Unfulfilled desires and put it on the alter

    Pray

    Until I get peace that surpasses all understanding


    Continue to pray

    Not just one session

    Not just before eating

    Not just every morning

    Every moment until you get your answer


    The kingdom of God

    Is a living reality

    Not a framework

    Not equally yoked with darkness

    Nor sin

    Nor others that practice sin

    Not natural with my new nature


    Marriage

    The coming together of two worldst

    Two become one flesh


    Must serve someone else’s vision

    Work

    Scriptural

    You cannot take the kingdom by force

    Cannot only inherit it (Esau)

    Must be bestowed (Joseph)


    My selfish ambitions are dying at the alter

    That is Good


    Never let go what God has given you


    The more power

    The more authority

    The more responsibility

    The more trust

    Requires more patience

    Requires more humbleness

    Required more gentleness

    Requires more connection to the vine

    To produce the fruit of the vine

    To whom much is given

    Much is entrusteda

    And judged by the same rule


    Fear is beginning of reality

    Sincerity matters


    Mentally saw a gold dragon the size of the room paw up to the alter

    Like a dog on the window sill

    Jumped back to the church

    Then straight up the heaven


    Pastoring is more like crucification

    Zen

    We will grow into her name

    Sitting coffee beach pier

    [18] Ishmael’s descendants occupied the region from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. There they lived in open hostility toward all their relatives.

    Genesis 25:18 NLT

    Many of the exiles seem to be East of where they want to be

    Left from the right

    Go east

    Head to the right

    Head to the righteous

    Do not be left behind

    Do not be misguided in your own righteousness

    “The Great West”

    Is the human conquest to conquer and control

    Illusion

    Heading west is actually heading backwards on timeline

    Irony

    Evolving tech is taking many farther away from God and making our own golden calf

    Imagery

    Head home

    Whoever Jesus sets free is free indeed

    Vices by Isley

    Jesus set me free of my sins

    So I am free indeed to eat of the spiritual fruit

    Spirit lead me

    By influence music, Michael ketterer

    Gripped me

    And yeeted me into the air

    In gratitude

    Painful gratitude

    For God

    For Jesus

    For the Holy Spirit

    Trust in you even when I cannot see you

    Spirit lead me by influence music, Michael keeterer

    God showed my mind’s eye

    Myself crying alone in the middle of the night after my father left

    For my mother

    And she was sleeping in the closet

    Probably crying

    But I thought it was just to be away from me

    But I trusted her to be there

    At a minimum

    Oh Sendy

    If you knew what it meant

    That I do everything I knew how to do

    I am so sorry i did not know how to do it

    The way you wanted

    But I did not know

    How could I have known

    No one wanted to teach me

    They were there

    So I trusted them

    But no one wanted to teach me

    And I was so afraid of making any mistakes

    Why am I not allowed to make mistakes?

    You do not want to teach me nor allow me to make mistakes?

    So when I found a God who made everything

    That allows me to make mistakes

    And says He is always there for me

    Giving me the righteous rules

    Lightly admonishing me

    Unless I disobey

    Then firmly

    Unless I genuinely did not know

    Then mercily

    Unless I disobeyed when I did know

    Then passionately

    Unless I am a bent reed

    Then gently

    *snatched patience

    I thought I had it

    I was prideful

    I repent

    It was my strength in self denial, self control

    That shutdown my emotions and responses
