    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

    Word of God vs current reality

    Space of tension in the between

    Qvh

    Existing in faith

    Be bold to pray in faith

    Faith is being certain in the unknown

    Living in the space of tension

    Aka space of faith

    So used to dropping the other end of the rope

    Everyone has dropped a bit of faith in truth

    Everyone has dropped it for someone else

    Holding firm in two realities

    Stability … Abram GEN 15:6 is stable in faith in God

    Gen 12 to 15 is 14 years

    25 years of stable faith before the promise was fulfilled to have a child

    Abram waited 16 years after Ishmael for Isaac

    Sarai offered Abram the apple of control

    Abram chose to control the situation

    God does not shame or abandon Abram

    Still blesses Ishmael

    Still fulfills God’s original promise for Isaac

    Not perfect endurance

    Not perfection

    Return to trust

    Allow God to restore my dropping of the rope

    God give me strength to endure the tension I tried to get out of

    This is biblical faith

    Control is trying to resolve tension on your own

    Faith is allowing tension to resolve in trusting God

    When waiting feels unbearable

    We give up faith for control

    Without faith, it is impossible to please God

    Help me with my unbelief

    Shuffle Holy_Up playlist

    Ecstasy Infinity eternity by radical worship, Beach chapel

    Fun song

    Looked at lyrics

    *snatched Echo how to Sabbath

    What is Sabbath

    Rest

    Rejuvenating

    Spirit lifting

    Excitement (like to a nap)

    Relief

    Worshipping with your heart is Sabbath

    Looking up the lyrics to sing along is not

    Attentively listening to the song and responding is Sabbath

    Researching the band and where they are playing next is not

    Feeling into my sore muscles and relieving them of aches is Sabbath

    Learning what muscles names are to target the origin and insertion points to more effectively release the trigger point is not

    Isnotis

    **snatched picture a million words

    Academia says the right answer is lengthy

    Multiple choice

    If one is lengthy

    80% chance it is the right answer

    That is enemy dilution

    ***snatched Even the paradox of naming it “multiple choice”

    Many wrongs answer choices

    Only right answer choice

    You are learning the default

    There must be one right answer and everything else is wrong

    The illusion of choice

    Is trust in the illusionist

    In reality

    endless wrong ways

    Endless right ways

    To live

    ****

    A single word has potential to be powerful

    Spoken word

    *** snatched joke all words are spoken

    All noises out of your mouth are not words

    All words in your head are not created to be noise

    *iv* snatched tongues

    Thinking in colors

    Is still trying to communicate

    *iv**

    A symbol describes one idea

    Better than one word

    If many many words describe one word

    Like Peace

    The Word Peace

    Becomes a symbol

    Becomes a Goal

    It is one answer

    To many questions

    To many paths that lead to it

    *v* snatched single life ball thru space

    Like the sun

    Representing the existence of a single person’s life

    On a boring graph it is a single dot on top of endless reality

    Mine would travel from that single dot

    Forward 36 years

    Mom’s is 65 years long

    *vi* just crack the door

    Slowly encourage the opening

    Good grip

    Rip it open

    *vii* perpetual awe to the point of pain

    Feel the vastness and immensity of God

    Petrified by the gorgeous sunset

    Excitement of a fasted body by the scent of bread

    Tremble to your knees by the crushing waves of the ocean

    *viii* Annoyed sleepy Jesus comic

    He was napping! (MAT 8:24, MARK 4:38, LUKE 8:23)

    Woke Him because of the storms

    Dreary woke up

    *ix* Bruce Almighty and liar liar crossover movie

    Uncontrollable truth teller

    Each word literally creates

    Chair table

    Make you tall

    Squirrel comes by and says

    You are tall!

    *ix**

    Waved off the wave talking

    Back to sleep

    God rolls eyes

    Bro. Reckless usage of weather powers

    Jesus prayer admonishment from God

    We let Elijah have that prophet title

    You did not do anything wrong

    You have your own thing reliver

    *viii**

    Field of fluffy puppies wearing bandanas with flower tiaras playing with laughing babies painfully cute

    Unsustainable to function

    *vii**

    My vessel I have created

    Has cracks

    Plenty enough for Jesus’s Word to slip thru

    My choice to trade breaking off a large chunk

    Or allow the natural God paces growth

    And be slowly made new everyday

    By starting from the inside out
