The reason I offend you is because my whole-hearted belief in God and my actions, that are in line with his word, call out your watered-down, self-induced reasoning of why you DON’T follow his word… It is also why you don’t get the results, the joy, the power and the fulfillment that I experience daily. So keep making your excuses, keep watering down his word with popular opinion and keep your lukewarm lifestyle — and stay out of my way. I’m trying to reach the world for Jesus.
Does my arrogance offend you? That’s because what you see as arrogance is faith that moves mountains… but I get it, it’s easier for you to call me out than for you to live it out!
Im all about the Gospel… you are all about a self appeasing entitled excuse.
Gospel - Paul gives us 4 tenets of the gospel
1 Good news
2 It’s simple.
3 From faith to faith to faith to faith etc…
Go NOW - Jesus sends out the disciples to preach the good news… first MK. 9 then 10 (12 and 70) Go out and preach GK - *same word as when he cast out demons
4 And for everybody
5 Power
Jesus said to his disciples you will receive power when you preach the gospel that’s not just power for the words and for the message that’s power to be used in every area of your life!

Obedience
You better obey me, young lady or you will get eaten by alligators! That would seem ridiculous unless you know the future. The girls did not listen. They did not obey and they did get eaten by alligators.
Believing without obedience is the ultimate idolatry. We are saying without a doubt I am God I know best I will obey only me.
Garth, here is some encouragement in the Lord today. In Genesis 19, Lot is told by the Angels to flee to the Mountains and Lot pleads to be allowed to run to “this little city” called Zoar (19:18-21). Lot argued that he would be overtaken by the disaster and would not make it. He chose the path to Zoar because it was easier, rather than choosing the mountain, which seems logical.
In Hebrew Zoar means “insignificant”. If we step back and read this passage with that in mind, we see that Lot chose the easy path to insignificance rather than choosing the harder path that God had laid out for him. We will never know how his destiny and those of his wife and daughters would have been different had he chosen the harder path. Maybe his wife would have focused on the urgency to get up the mountain rather than looking back on a path with sure footing. Again we will never know.
Today, I pray that we follow and learn obedience in the path the Lord has set before us even if it is harder. I pray that this brings Him glory and that in the long term our families are blessed by these decisions… if not we might actually be choosing insignificance and like Lot… never be heard of again just like his story in the Bible.

WHY DOES sATAN HATE OBEDIENCE?
Obedience Brings Power, favor, increased authority - “the move of God”
Phil. 2:5
5 Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. 6Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. 7He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. 8. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal’s death on a cross. 9 Because of this, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2 Cor. 10:5We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
Punish GK ek-dee-kay-oh
Exact punishment to vindicate
Disobedience GK para-ko-ay choosing to disregard what you know/hear
Obedience GK - to hear and obey
Complete GK Play-ro-O
The verb "pléroó" primarily conveys the idea of filling something to its full capacity or bringing something to completion.
In the military who moves up in power? The obedient or the disobedient? Those who follow orders move up the ranks faster then those who don’t. AND WHEN YOU MOVE UP YOU MOVE IN POWER!
If you have heard me preach for very long you have heard me say this …
Rebellion is a false sense of Power. We live in a time where we reward disobedience, we publicize it and promote it in the media… it can slowly creep into our spiritual walk if we are not careful!
When we don’t obey God we feel powerless, so we disobey to feel a sense of power, but it is false, it is deadly. It is destructive.
However the more we obey God the more we sense his spirit and the more power we truly have.

Mental Effects:
- Increased Focus and Clarity: Some report heightened mental clarity and focus due to increased adrenaline and ketones.

- Cognitive Enhancement: Studies suggest potential benefits for cognitive function and memory.
Emotional Effects:

If you long for a deeper relationship with God or if you face a crisis or situation of special need, adding fasting to your prayer is a way God has given us to seek Him more earnestly. If you make fasting
a regular part of relationship with God, you will never regret it. For He has said, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13)

You must use your mind before you ever fast to walk through what you will be facing or you will fail.
You will be incredibly hungry, you will have a few hundred excuses, You will want to just start later in the month, year, lifetime…
You will have people give you food, invite you out etc…
You will want to quit…
KNOW ALL THIS AHEAD OF TIME AND PLAN FOR IT

Long-term fasting, typically defined as lasting 24 hours or more, can have profound effects on various aspects of a person's well-being. Here's a breakdown of the potential impacts:
Physical Effects:
- Metabolic Changes:
- Ketosis: After depleting glycogen stores, the body starts breaking down fat for energy, producing ketones.This metabolic state, known as ketosis, can lead to weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity.
- Autophagy: Cellular repair and regeneration processes are enhanced, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
- Hormonal Changes: Growth hormone levels may increase, while insulin levels decrease.
- Potential Benefits:
- Weight Loss: Can be significant, but sustainability depends on post-fasting lifestyle.
- Improved Blood Sugar Control: May benefit individuals with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.
- Reduced Inflammation: May alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions.
- Potential Risks:
- Nutrient Deficiencies: Especially if not properly planned or supplemented.
- Muscle Loss: The body may break down muscle tissue for energy.
- Electrolyte Imbalance: Can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and heart problems.
- Refeeding Syndrome: A potentially fatal condition if refeeding is not done carefully after prolonged fasting.
Mental Effects:
- Increased Focus and Clarity: Some report heightened mental clarity and focus due to increased adrenaline and ketones.
- Mood Changes: Can vary; some experience improved mood, while others may feel irritable or anxious.
- Cognitive Enhancement: Studies suggest potential benefits for cognitive function and memory.
Emotional Effects:
- Sense of Accomplishment: Completing a long fast can boost self-esteem and confidence.
- Emotional Regulation: Fasting may promote mindfulness and self-awareness, potentially improving emotional regulation.
- Increased Stress: The body perceives fasting as a stressor, which can exacerbate existing anxiety or stress.
If you long for a deeper relationship with God or if you face a crisis or situation of special need, adding fasting to your prayer is a way God has given us to seek Him more earnestly. If you make fasting
a regular part of relationship with God, you will never regret it. For He has said, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13)

Start the year with fasting… church wide.
I fast quite regularly… 1 day, 3 day, 7 day
Every few years I will do an extended fast of 2-3 weeks, and I have fasted as long as almost 30 days.
This fast was 21 days…
Just some immediate random thoughts on my fast.
I don’t want to lose weight
It is not for health reasons
I do it to show my body I have control not it.
I do it to crucify my flesh
I do it to spend more time with Jesus
I do it for the future impact on my life
I do it for my family and church
I do it to put my ego in check
I do it for supernatural reasons
How I do into my fast…
I eat a huge meal the night before and for the first few days I only drink water and a pot of coffee… after about 5 days I only drink one cup of coffee and just water with electrolytes and creatine
You must use your mind before you ever fast to walk through what you will be facing or you will fail.
You will be incredibly hungry, you will have a few hundred excuses, You will want to just start later in the month, year, lifetime…

Joseph had the coat of many colors…. It meant so much. But what did his brothers do? They dipped into GOATS blood to signify his death. There’s gotta be blood. Jesus died to redeem your vision for your life. He sets up the perfect grid: you are the fathers favorite. You get a dream. I have redeemed it for you. You will be tested to bring you into favor with man and intimacy with me (God) and you will receive a new coat of authority.
…But Joseph got another coat from Potiphar (Gen. 42:41, 42) It symbolized his dream. One of power, authority and prestige- but he had it all taken from him by a false accusation, a woman of desire and lust… I wonder if he thought, well that was my run. Not bad, but now its back to slavery for me… Obviously he hung on to the dream God gave him.
But Joseph was actually helping Potiphar achieve his dream, his cause at least. That can happen to us… I think Joe would have been ok with that - but God had greater plans.
.
Family will be jealous of your dream and purpose
V. 24. They threw him into a well that was empty. No water… Water signifies life. This is a precursor of Jesus being thrown into the grave and he died.
V. 31 They kill a goat. This is before the understanding of sacrifices… but God knew that there has to be a sacrifice for the benefits to be paid for. Jesus was our sacrifice for the benefits he provided for our purpose/vision/Goals
Chp. 39
V.12 She grabbed his robe - this was Potiphar’s blessing on him. He ran from it. He would rather honor God and forfeit any blessing from a man then from God.
He loses his “position”.
V.23 He still prospers in prison. No matter what the world throws at you, if you continue to trust God with your PGV you will be blessed.

The early years… Josephs father Jacob was a manipulator,
Joe came from a family of 4 moms, 13 boys, His grandfather Laban was a sheister/manipulator. His brothers Simeon and Levi killed an entire village, his oldest brother Reuben slept with his fathers concubine… Jacob openly loved Joe more than the others. The women in the house did not like each other… wonder wonder!!!
When Benjamin was born His mother Rachel died and everything just got worse.
Equation Passions, skills, talents, gifting + Godly choices + his purpose = an unstoppable PGV.
But he was given a dream - 2 actually. BUT THE DREAM WAS NOT THAT HE WOULD BE THE SECOND IN COMMAND OF THE WHOLE WORLD…
Gen. 37 - His father says go check on your brothers…
I believe Dad recognized Joes leadership and integrity!
V. 2 He is a young man of integrity. He tells his father that his brothers are up to no good. When you see their hearts you can imagine that they really are scoundrels.
V. 3 Dad loved Joseph more than the others. He gave him a coat. What did it resemble? PARENTS SOW THAT INTO YOUR KIDS! DREAMS, EXPECTATIONS, VSIONS. SPEAK INTO THEM. The coat represented: all of Gods attributes,
You hold a special place of authority
it signifies his position of favor in the family
and signifies he will receive the greatest inheritance.
