    Mark 1: identity first, love first, before service

    Voices that inform me

    Are forces that form me

    Gen 3:16 first failure of manhood was passivity

    Eyes opened, shame enters

    They hide

    Who told you that

    Blame

    False voice says

    • Culturally says pride is strength
      • James 3:5 – God opposes the proud and grace to humble
    • Hiding brings safety
      • Cost of confession equates silence is a slippery slope
        • James 5: confess to one another
    • Dominate or disappear
      • Get big or small. Harsh or quiet
        • 2 cor 12:9 boast in weakness

    *Snatched James 5 give to God and trust.

    Anyone trying to save their life will lose it

    Be willing to lose it all

    Give it all to God

    Initiation ceremony

    Make it official

    Reject passivity

    City church

    Conform to the world

    Or transform by Jesus

    Default to conform

    Or participate to transform

    One dimensional salvation ticket to heaven

    (Greek) To be delivered, to be made safe, made whole

    Salvation saved in eternity plus changes current reality

    Def today: full work of God to forgive, restore , and transform us to be like Jesus

    Col 2:13

    Sin condemns and enslaved thru guilt

    Sin because of brokenness

    Not Sick because of the flu

    We have the flu because we are sick

    No will or discipline will fix sin

    Salvation is divine intervention, not self improvement

    Sin destroys what God loves most – people

    Cannot just ignore and

    ON the cross Jesus took what belonged to us for us to take what belonged to Him

    Sin made us homeless. Removed from Eden. Removed from the father’s house

    Lost their identity. Lost their inheritance. Lost the provision

    Saved from and what we are being saved for

    Jesus knew what he was saving us for

    Buy out of the marketplace

    Redemption not the goal

    Adoption was the goal into sonship

    Opened the door (better than forgiveness and freedom)

    Gal 4:7

    We all want to go Home

    Sojourn, yet seeking Home at the father’s house

    God is not done with you as a believer. He will finish a good work

    Phil 1:6

    You didn’t find God, God found you

    We are being saved

    Being transformed

    Until Christ returns

    While in the darkest day, Christ died for us

    So when we come to the Lord

    He will say you are already forgiven

    We are not trying to get into heaven

    We are trying to get heaven into us

    Prayed this morning

    That if I am putting the chariot before the horse

    If I am asking to do your will

    Before asking how to listen

    Before asking how to respond to you

    Slow me down

    To have a better relationship with you

    Before doing anything in your name

    Before doing anything for you

    To understand how you communicate

    With me

    Specifically

    Because I listen differently than anyone else

    The lense

    You affixed over my eyes

    See differently than anyone else

    Word of the day

    Isaiah 55:6 NLT
    
    [6] Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.

    I asked BflyMary gummy tolerance reset yesterday

    Then decided to double gummy today

    Double inhale

    Brought me slowly up to just shy of where I used to be

    With one inhale

    Yet perfectly

    To where I feel connected

    With all senses

    Sitting with Zen and writing this post

    Isiah breathed on my prayer

    Stop thinking volleyball mechanics

    Stop incessantly snacking

    Seek

    Ask

    I am here
    As I always am

    Final thought

    My actual thought I digressed

    This whole post

    Is to seek His face, before His hand

    Daily bread song

    I am eating yogurt on couch

    Zen next to be

    Anxiously fixated on my bowl

    God’s creation is constantly at work

    We ask for His disruption for our desire

    Instead of understanding His creation

    Walking along side it

  • Necessary movements only

    After being forgiven by my father

    I was thinking of dodging a bullet

    Dramatically

    Hit the deck

    Or necessary movement only

    Anyone aiming would target vitals

    They are not using a bowling ball sized projectile

    Only need to move vitals

    Super Saiyan

    Move with purpose

    Final thought
