Clara Butt one of the most world renowned singers in the late 1800’s early 1900’s traveled to Africa and after a concert went and found John G. Lake… Many of you know Lake was one of the greatest healing evangelists of our time. She had heard tell of a young 18 year old woman that was saved under John G Lakes ministry who would pray and then the presence of God would fall on here and she would play the piano and sing songs that were more pure, more pronounced than anything that anyone had ever heard. The lyrics were given supernaturally to this woman by the Holy Spirit and the notes that came out of her mouth were said to be more “pure”. If there is a middle C (and there is) she could sing an even more perfect clear, more precise middle C. The melodies and the vocal quality were like nothing anyone had ever heard before…
Clara asked John G Lake if he could set up a meeting with her… and he did. The outcome was purely dynamic.. the young woman began to sing and Clara found herself in tears… weeping. She said “I have heard that there is a perfect note and you my dear sing them all”. She said I have no understanding nor have I ever been in the realm you sing in and sing about. It was perfection.
Isaiah 61:1
The Year of the Lord’s Favor
1 sThe Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
because the LORD has tanointed me
to bring good news to the poor;1
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and uthe opening of the prison to those who are bound;2
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
In the OT the spirit of the Lord rested on only certain people… when Christ came it rested on him and we later see it resting on the disciples… almost as if they were renting the spirit while they were out on the town. But now that Christ has been born, died and resurrected….. Now its time for us to rest know that his spirit is not resting on us, but rather in us. But again, our job, our mission our goal is to enter into that space where his spirit centers us. We live in a realm of Gods victory… that sounds cheesy I know. But we rest, we live, we experience the flow of the Holy Spirit the way christ did.
When Clara heard this young 18 year old girl come into the center of who the Holy Spirit was the music was literally astounding - unmatched. That is our continual job- to push into and experience that centering every day… is it possible? Yes? Can I do it… yes, Have I done it? A few times, but that is where I must push in for a very very long time. Thats the goal… to live centered in the perfect note, in his perfect grace.

How do we live Godly in a Godless society?
Two quick thoughts.. don’t expect non Christians to live like Christians… heck a lot of Christians don’t live like Christians… and secondly you can’t argue someone into the kingdom of God…

This past week the NFL Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butler spoke at a commencement and took some heat for his remarks boldly proclaiming a pro-family, pro-God, and pro-life worldview.
The backlash was intense. There were furious columns and very angry tweets. It was discussed and panned by ladies on morning television. The NFL distanced itself from the speech, issuing a statement that “his views are not those of the NFL as an organization.”
And, most righteously, people thought he should be fired. A Change.org petition to “Demand the Kansas City Chiefs to Dismiss Harrison Butker for Discriminatory Remarks” had racked up more than 140,000 signatures by 5 p.m. Thursday (though it’s hard to tell how many are just 49ers fans).
WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST REACTION OVER?
He praised his wife and Mother for their role in Motherhood and the media trashed him… did they mention his Mother was a physicist… no. HE PRAISED HIS WIFE FOR BEING THE STAY AT HOME MOTHER WHO MAKES THEIR LIFE POSSIBLE. The The New York Post said “you would have a hard time in any locker room wether it be Muslim or Christian not agreeing with him…. And if you cut all of those NFL Christians and Muslims you surely wouldn’t have enough atheists to fill the rosters.
BTW - His NFL Jersey skyrocketed in sales.
In a snapshot this gives such a great picture and insight into what we are facing.
Middle of the road, conservative Xn views:
Cause an inflammatory response.
In a talk I give called the Power of Response I share the insight of Eastern Philosophy… Called
A Mind like Water….
Water always gives the proper response…

100 different games on the price is right… Plinko, high or low, Spin the wheel… but they all have one thing in common… all 100 deal with this one issue. How much does it cost.
You know God makes the game simple. He tells us the price, the cost and he tells us the reward.
Matthew 16
21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.
22 But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds. 28 And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”
The price Jesus life.
The cost our life.
The reward is not just heaven but also according to our deeds.
The price Jesus life - No way you can pay that back. The ultimate price.
The cost our life. Yes we must now pick up our cross and lay down our life…. But in comparison to what Jesus paid, we got nothing to complain about. What an example he set for us. He never asks us to do something he didn’t also do.
In the series “the last dance” the Michael Jordan story of his last year on the Bulls. There is a scene well into the series…. Maybe episode 7 where they are talking about how tough MJ was on his teammates… MJ gets emotional and says there is a price to pay for greatness, there is a price to pay for championships… he tears up and he says “they can say whatever they want to say about me, but They can never say that I ever asked them to do something that I didn’t do.
Jesus never asks us to do something he never did… and he did it to the ultimate degree.
The reward is not just heaven but also according to our deeds.
All through scripture we see salvation, rewards and job placement in heaven due to our commitment to an all in mentality lifestyle in picking up our cross.

The world will more and more think the church is out of its mind as we near the end times.
We see whats happening
We know whats happening
We understand why its happening
We understand that Spiritual Warfare is key…
We understand there are demonic influences
We understand that others will deny and mock
We understand that the battle is real, eminent and embraced by a lost world… and yet many so called christians are upset at what is happening as if God hadn’t already told us.
The war is in our head.
The ammunition is simply lies…
The only and primary defense is the truth and prayer.
NOTE: we see both must be in relationship with Gods spirit.
The beautiful thing about warfare is that you truly don’t know who you are or know what you need to work on until you choose to go to war. A man does not know who he is until he faces temptation. A woman does not know who she is until she faces the pull of insecurity or bitterness.
Warfare forces us to choose make a choice:
My opinion
The worlds opinion
OR
Gods truth
I find it interesting that many Christians get mad when you point to current issues as if you are making fun or those dying or being persecuted or in wars across the world. As if to say God is a God of love and he is not in favor of this story line. God is a god of love - but love includes justice, judgement, truth, punishment, discipline and we don’t get our way in Gods love…. Now… the truth and we may even call it the ugly truth is that God has preordained much of the suffering that is taking place and will take place. When someone naively says God would never do that… all one has to do is start reading Revelations and see what is starting to unfold right now in history… and more is to come.
(Read judgements)
Warfare is not pretty wether physical or spiritual.
Eph. 6 18 seemingly
The armor drops out of sight… but not the idea behind warfare!
Ephesians 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
THE NAS says with this view
Idea is… we know and see what is coming so pray up!
IN THE SPIRIT -
“in the spirit is being in gods empowering presence”
I PRAY BEST WHEN GOD CONTROLS MY TONGUE AND MY MIND. In his presence.
I as a human with limited understanding want Love and peace and joy and good times and flowers and milkshakes and corvettes for everyone and a skinny sexy wife the rest of my life and for everyone…. Ok a little over the top, but the point is - If im practicing living in Gods empowering presence… and I know the end that is coming… I see and understand things he sees…. There is not always an immediate happy ending.
We are closing in on the start of the final days, end times, rapture… whatever you want to call it… but its here. Its happening real time…. So what do we do?
V.18 PRAYING
Praying… Pray with all manner of prayer
Pray with all kinds of prayer
Pray with all kinds of prayer that are available
formal, silent, vocal, secret, public, petitionary, explosion’ary - sudden emergency, congregational.
PRAYING ALWAYS… GK at each and every occasion, at every opportunity, every time you get a chance, et every season or at any possible moment.
Pray… and why? So that we might aline ourselves up with Gods plans, his desires, his ultimate will. If you are upset at the war going on… then aline your life and actions to god… simply put- win someone to Christ… Now thats warfare.
And how can I speak this with such frankness… because the very next verse is Paul asking for prayers to continue to preach the gospel.

Oh I did it… and it was embarrassing… but the truth is I wasn’t there… Oh I was there… but truth be told, I wasn’t truly there.
Doing a wedding… for the first 5 minutes the couple seemed uncomfortable…
I was reading my wedding script… and using the names from the couple I had married a few weeks before…
Gunther - Gebel Williams one of the all time greatest animal trainers ever was asked what is the most important advice he could give his son who is following in his footsteps… getting ready to pursue a career in lion taming. He simply said “be there”. What did he mean… he meant be there not just physically, but mentally. When you are in the ring with literally man eating animals… you can’t get caught up with the crying kid in the 4th row, the good looking woman in the provocative red dress in the first row. You can’t let the lights, the sound the the yelling vendors to distract you.
NOW what if we took this to our world. Where ever you are don’t let it distract you mentally and Spiritually.
When you are at church you can be happy and satisfied that you are there… you made it. But are you there mentally? Are you there spiritually? Are you THERE! What does God want to do right then and there…
Isaiah 43:18-19“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Eph. 5:15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
Careful/how you live - GK distinctly and with exactness perceive to discern… but for what? To know how to live…
That seems pretty important!
What if you simply asked God to start to teach you what is going on… in every area, every day, every way.
Ask yourself God help me discern with exactness what is going on in politics, Israel, College Campus’s.
Help me perceive what is going on in my son’s life. My wife’s life, my boss’s life.
Help me understand and perceive with distinct detail why I think and feel this way about my pastor, my father…
Help me understand why I am afraid of this… why I have a low self esteem, or feel volatile or I lash out….
As God starts to show you with exact detail and insight you can than begin to ask him to help you change… You can ask him how this can make you more like his son.

*They said it couldn’t be done… but I did it.
USCCA
Helping write and create a program for them for churches… I will get to do some traveling for them, get some more great training… make some money… but I also get to preach the gospel and create a system for other churches to preach the gospel.
1 Cor.11
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [d]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [e]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Do this in remembrance of me…
The disciples are confused at best at this point.
But once Christ is crucified it starts to make a little more sense.
When they are called to give up their life….. Hold that thought.
What do you think of when you take communion?
It is a blood ritual… you are signing on to give up your life for Jesus just like Jesus did.
This is the blood of the new covenant… Jesus said, your new life is dependent on my death… I must spill my blood in order for you to be forgiven… and in doing so - if you accept this new covenant you will be also accepting the right of death to follow him.

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
The Sword of the Spirit…
The sword is furnished by the Spirit of God. You can have the word of God… but it takes wielding of the Holy Spirit to make it the sword of the spirit.
How much is this basketball worth in my hands?
A wilson official NBA game ball is worth about $200
How much is it worth today in Lebron James hands? 75 Million.
How powerful is the word of God in my hands?
How powerful is the word of God in the HS hands?
WE ARE GURDED WITH THE LOINBELT OF TRUTH. IT HOLDS THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT…
CONFUSED? Is the belt OR the sword the word of God?
The key word here is TAKE UP GK = Dek-om-ay
To receive or welcome
Receive and welcome God’s word in the hands of Holy Spirit…
The belt is Gods word…
The Sword is Gods word spoken by the Holy Spirit
WE SEE GREATER CLARIFICATION IN HEB…
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
TWO EDGED GK di-stomos
Di - two
Stomos - mouth
TWO MOUTHS
2 PEOPLE SPEAKING…?
We allow Gods written Word in which we have taken in to be used by the Holy Spirit. We welcome it, we expect it to become a Rhema word. And we see here that we welcome it to divide our thoughts, emotions, will and plans…
Its like this… it is one thing to have your sister tell you to clean up your room. Its a good sentiment, and she means well but it has little impact on you. There is no true motivation to follow through. These are her words… but if she comes into your room and says I just got off the phone with Mom and she said she will be home in 10 minutes and she expects your room to be cleaned or you are grounded… well now there are two mouths speaking. Your sister and your mother. And you guessed it, you will clean your room.
The more I take in Gods word, the more the Holy Spirit can use it in my life and in my battles. Dolnt walk around with a sheath that has no sword in it for the Holy Spirit to wield. TAKE UP, WELCOME AND RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO USE.

Whats your greatest temptation… mine? Simple and its not sex… My wife is good to me. It is a Chocolate cream filled donut… I believe its a Bavarian creme type… the donut itself is chocolate dough, the frosting is chocolate and the filing is white cream filled… I really don’t know the actual name of this donut… but I will eat them at any time, any where and any place.
Matthew 4 Jesus was tempted by satan…
Satan tempted Jesus… why?
Did he really think he would win this fight with Jesus… he would actually pull one over on Jesus… why again… why would he even try?
We hear often that Jesus laid down his humanity and became man. He then lived a sinless life by relying on the Holy Spirit. What am I trying to say? satan’s behavior agrees with this. He sees Jesus as a man, vulnerable… just like any other human… he believes it is possible to get Jesus to sin… Look he didn’t tempt him in heaven? But when he sees that he truly laid down his God nature, gave up his deity while here on earth… satan was like “game on”.
And satan threw everything including the kitchen sink at him.
He was tested body, soul and spirit…
Body - his fleshly appetite
Soul - His ego his reputation
Spirit - who he would worship
Hebrews 4:15 says Jesus was tempted in every way….
Again I just can’t get over how ballsy it seems to tempt satan… but my mind struggles to see Jesus as human… but he was. With this truth in mind… my excuses as to why I sin, struggle and fall are up in flames… Jesus was a man… Im a man…
Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit and was sinless
Garth depends on the Holy Spirit and is kinda, a little, well trying… ok, Im not sinless. Im not saying it’s not impossible… but I also honestly know I don’t always rely in all areas on the Holy Spirit like I should.
My point is this - Jesus was a man just like you.
You are a man just like Jesus.
Jesus lived sinless by dependance on the HS
You and I can live sinless by dependence on the HS

I don’t like being confronted…
I love being confronted…
What do I mean… well most times when people confront you they are being highly emotional and they are trying to bully you… They attack you and not the topic, they try to push your buttons…
But then there are other times when I love confrontation… let me explain.
There is no story, there is no miracle there is no God moment without a confrontation.
There is no miracle without a confrontation…
The red sea - confronted with a decision…
Do we fight? Surrender? Swim?…
The feeding of the 5000… do we just eat the food, do we send the people away…
Peter chained in prison.. do I quit preaching… Do I deny my faith…
Elijah and the prophets of Baal (after jezebel killed gods prophets)… do I let the children of Israel serve Baal, Do I give in, do I throw down
Samson blind and mocked… do I just take it
The blind man yelling at Jesus… does Jesus reprimand him, does Jesus keep walking…
The prostitute at Jesus feet… Does Jesus call her out, don’t touch me,
The samaritan begging for crumbs…
Whats your confrontation…
Is it a marriage issue?
Is it a child issue?
Is it a money issue?
Is it a health issue?
Is it a work issue… or Boss issue?
Is it an issue of your beliefs on abortion, the USA, the Bible, guns, LGBQTRXYZ crazy.
You know how you hate confrontation with others… its never fun, its always a little uncomfortable… but it can be a great tool in growth.
However today you are the one confronting you on what you believe and how you will act.
And if you are serious about it- it should be just as uncomfortable -
So this year I have been confronted with issues regarding my ministry… my health, my marriage…
When I am confronted with a decision of trusting and moving forward or choosing option BCDEF….
At that moment of confrontation I must ask myself one simple question: Do I want to be more free (DO I WANT TO EXPERIENCE MORE FREEDOM IN MY LIFE) or more enslaved.
So I Create a case in my head of what happens if I do not respond to this confrontation correctly and in a Godly way?
Put yourself in a spot where you realize I MUST LEAN INTO GOD AND TRUST HIM THROUGH THIS CONFRONTATION.
One of the best exercises one of my professors did in Bible college was to have a class of men write out what happens if you are confronted with the option of having an affair… and you say yes.
I wrote mine out in 5 minutes… handed it in, he said not good enough. You didn’t think it through… so I went back and the HS gave me a download of that confrontation…
I PROMISE YOU… I PROMISE YOU… after that I knew I would never have an affair… I saw I tasted what enslavement would be like in that decision.
But here is the kicker when you look at most confrontations in scripture and your own life… others are looking on at how you will handle confrontation.
EX. 14 The Children of Israel scream at Moses… you brought us all the way out here to die… we could have stayed back in Egypt to die…
Moses basically says… God will use this confrontation to not only free us, but to eradicate all of our enemies who are pursuing us.
