Todays podcast may hit a few of you in the face, because you made it happen, you pushed some buttons, you got on my nerves… you always have an excuse, you can’t seem to get it right… and I am here to speak to you today. 

 

What does it take to serve God?

Prayer?

Bible reading?

Meditation?

Anointing?

Church attendance?

 

All of those are simply great and necessary… but there is one thing missing in todays world. 

Its the ability to quit being a wussy… you can say that with the letter P at the beginning if you want, 

quit being a whiner, 

insecure, 

quit making excuses

quit always making it someone else’s fault.

BUT A LOT OF BOYS IN THEIR 20’S, 30’S, 40’S AND 50 60 70’S HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THEY CAN’T SEEM TO GET BEYOND THEIR OWN ineptness and self absorption….

The problem is you - not the system.

 

Luke 14:15 - 20

The banquet… no one can come into Gods presence because everyone is busy…

God is ticked.

he says none of you will taste of my kingdom. 

 

he then says in the next 2 verses… if someone is not willing to hate his father and mother and sister and brother and yes even their own life… if they are not willing to carry their cross they are not worthy of me…

 

Hate… to think far less of oneself. Meaning you don’t matter anymore.

YOUR excuses don’t matter any more… no one cares! 

I can’t seem to pray… or read the bible or go to church or pray for people… and I DON”T CARE about your excuses and NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

You do it anyway! 

I hate when a team folds at the end of a season to try to move up in the draft pick… 

I hate when a person calls them a Christian and has excuses as to why they can’t serve him, love him, seek him… why they keep sinning….

 

Imagine you just won a billion dollars, but you won’t enjoy it because you just found out that you will only live a few more months because you are smoking. now if you quit smoking immediately - you will live, in fact another 50 years… but you just don’t want to quit smoking…

(whine…. you can’t quit smoking) 

and if thats you you are an idiot.

Of course you can quit…. you just love your excuses, you love being a wussy, you love being a whiner, a loser a narcissistic blamer…

*but you could quit if you really wanted to… you could enjoy that billion dollars… but you just don’t want to. 

NEWS FLASH ITS NOT WEThER YOU WANT TO… ITS WETHER YOU WANT IT! YOU JUST DON’T WANT IT. SO SAVE US AN EARFULL AND JUST OWN UP TO IT im not talking about the billion- im talking about you just don’t really want to live all out for Jesus, thats why you make excuses… ok, I can respect that. 

And if you have excuses as to why you are not living for God - you are the same idiot who won’t quit smoking so that he could enjoy the billion dollars over the next 50 years of life.

 

But… if you did want to quit being a wuss… you need to 

Build a plan of resilience:

Choose 2 things a day that are hard to do and do them.

    -  Take a 5 minute freezing cold shower

     -  Go without lunch and pray during that time

  -  Get up and do 100 push ups

     -  Give money you don’t have to a person in need

  -  join a boxing gym and get punched in the face

Learn to do hard things..

Take responsibility immediately for everything in your life.

 

Also

Read a David Goggins book or any biography of a BAMF

Read the OT in real time

Hang with guys who love jesus and are certified bad mamma jamma’s. 

*Imagine what your life would be like if you were a 100% sold out for Jesus… now look at all the things keeping you from them. Then look at what your life would be like if you were a 100% sold out for Jesus now look at all the things keeping you from them…. and continue to do this.

Feel the pain, see the pain of not being that man of God.
