    Fellowship with Jacqui

    Touched on qualification

    To do God’s Will

    *Snatched See spirit of soul

    Wade into mess

    of relationship (fellowship, spouse,…)

    You do not connect with a sad soul

    Like you connect with a fearful soul

    Like you connect with an angry soul

    Like you connect with a joyous soul

    Draw toward as comfortor

    Draw back from flames before calmly taming

    Draw up to uplift as you rejoice together

    *

    How dare I (connecting with the prideful soul)

    Question God’s choice

    On choosing the correct person

    To do His Will

    Do you think He does not know

    Who He created?

    Pause who is who?

    People you are trying to help

    People that are helping you

    People that are not helping you

    Unpause

    What he created?

    The situation

    The issue

    The solution

    Then

    Who are you?

    To question His desire

    God’s Decision

    Jesus’ Choice

    To pick

    To think

    To want

    To use you

    Do not question

    Why He chose you

    Question

    Why you are NOT

    choosing Him


    Title anchors me

    My writing digressions

    Loses where I came from

    Realizing you are worthy

    Because God chose you

    Careful not to get arrogant

    For your father choosing you

    As His favorite

    Realizing He has chosen many others

    But they have a different purpose

    Than the perfect purpose

    He has for you

    *snatched accordion time

    Spiritual attack: rushing to get things done this morning

    Negotiating

    interfering with morning routine

    To be efficient

    With my day

    No

    Do the morning routine

    No distractions

    Speed it up

    Do it faster

    Squish the time it takes

    On your life timeline

    Unless it is more important

    That the reason

    For the morning routine

    Keep to the routine

    Know your priority

    Civic duty to be at jury duty on time

    Morning routine

    New tasks

    Based off experience

    You know how much you can speed up

    Your routine

    To have space for new thing

    Yet be interruptible

    And know priority

    *snatched undercover Jesus

    **snatched playing accordion chess

    God allowed Jesus to live

    As any human would

    When He called Jesus to perform

    Knowing Jesus can draw out His time on earth

    If he healed in secret

    But with every miracle He performed

    He knew it drew Him nearer

    To His purpose

    He would have to leave

    Though He wants to stay

    And heal in secret

    He knows the Greater Good

    Of God’s Will

    Be fulfilled

    If He did large miracles early

    He would have still fulfilled His purpose

    Early

    And squished His time

    On earth

    He drew it out

    As long as He could

    To show mercy

    As long as He could

    **

    *

    Run from your purpose

    In fear

    Stretches your timeline

    Fear

    Step into your purpose

    Stretch the joy

    On your timeline

    It will feel tiny

    I am worthy

    Final initial thought

    VentiMish

    Parenting reveals as much as it forms

    Stewarding what God has always woven

    Parenting woven into the daily

    Shape along the way

    Cannot pass on what you do not possess

    Like 6:45

    Esph 6:4

    Reframe

    • From ownership to stewardship
      • God knows and loves them more than you
      • We are not author of their story
      • Steward of their beginning
    • Behavior to heart
      • Created distance from God to us
      • Inside out, not monitor behavior
      • 1 sam 16:7
      • May create a Pharisees
    • From control to influence
      • Over controlling parents would have worked
      • Maybe I can do better in controlling more
      • I cannot control who they become
      • Prov 22:5
      • Control produces robots
      • Cannot control outcome but can control environment

    Practical parenting

    • Presence over perfection
      • Emotionally, physically,
    • Conversation over correction
      • Get curious on what is going on the inside
      • Get them to process hard things on their own
    • Modeling over messaging
      • Do what I say, not what I do
      • Handle stress
    • Grace over performance
      • Heart of God
      • Luke 15 – prodigal son
        • Father never stops being ready for them to return home

    Days are long
    Years are short

    Final message

    Your voice will be in their head

    Can it be gentle, advocacy, encouraging

  • Manhood

    202604190932m3f6

    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

    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
