Job 33… just cuz your old doesn’t mean you know what you are talking about.
1 Tim. 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on your youth.
Despise - to regulate your behavior, to limit or put you in restraint of your behavior.
Test the spirits.
In the Bible, the phrase "test the spirits" means to be skeptical of teachings and to determine if they come from God or a demonic spirit. This is a command in 1 John 4:1, which says, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God".
Here are some ways to test the spirits:
- Confession of Jesus Christ: According to 1 John 4:2-3, spirits that confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh are from God, while those that do not are not.
- Love for God and other believers: Test if the teacher or leader lives in a loving, godly, and upright way.
- Accuracy of teaching: Compare the teaching to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles.
- Presence of the Holy Spirit: Test if the teacher or leader has the Holy Spirit in their walk.
- Righteous and holy conduct: Test if the teacher or leader has righteous and holy conduct.
The reason to test the spirits is that many false prophets have gone out into the world. The undiscerning can be victimized by these false teachers.

How to be a true disciple
- Hear the word - You hear between 12-16K words a day.
- Read the word - 4k images a day
- Study the word - How many hours a day do you study a day outside of school? Less than 2 minutes
- Memorize the word - almost zero things we memorize in todays world.
- Meditate on the word - We meditate more on social media than on any other thing
- Live according to the word - How can you live according to something you don’t know anything about? Only after all these can you truly be a disciple.

He has given all power and authority to them that believe. John 1:12
"To us ward who believe.-
primary thought of "belief." It has a twofold meaning,
"be," to live or exist; and
"lifan,"
which conveys the thought of accordance.
Thus to believe means literally "to live in accordance with"
its root leads us on to action; that which the mind accepts, the will must obey.
*PRACTICAL DAILY COMMITMENT
There is a daily acceptance of the fact that we sit at the right hand of God and exercise his authority.
Satan has no power over us…
Satan is The accuser of the brethren… The Brother.. the family… he accuses us so that we may not act with boldness and with authority.
What does accusing do to the person being accused…
What if I accused you - “You are fat!”…
You will start to employ comparisons from past, current, future possibilities - your confidence will erode, and faith to act will dwindle… all from an accusation.
**What did the older brother do??? He accused the younger brother… but he did it to the father.
When the enemy accuses you - tell him to go see your Daddy!
Luke 4:31,32 Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
NOT JUST IN THE SUPERNATURAL
It represents the authority given us through the name of Jesus.
It symbolizes the strength given us through the Holy Spirit to overcome temptation and sin.
It symbolizes the discernment to beware of the deceitful schemes of the enemy to draw us off course.
It gives us the confidence to pray faith-filled prayers.
The ring is symbolic of the source of our authority to live an overcoming life for God.

You are the kind of person that complains about the weather. You can’t do anything about it. And yet what you can change you still complain about, but do nothing to change. You my friend are the definition of a fools fool.
In Psalm 100:2, it says to ‘serve the Lord with gladness.’ Deuteronomy 10:12 says, ‘Serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.’ Joshua says, ‘As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord’ (Joshua 24:15). And Paul in Romans 12:11 also tells us to ‘serve the Lord.’
What we miss in these verses is the idea behind serve… it doesn’t just mean wash peoples feet or serve at the church… it is speaking of your whole being walking in alignment of who God wants you to be. You serve him in every area…
I recently had a couple in counseling and the man said “Would you please shut up, I am trying to communicate”. And there in lies the problem. You can’t even see what you can change thinking you are in fact changing that and at the same time practicing the exact behavior that you need to change.
What does it take to truly serve the Lord, to truly change… yes God, yes forgiveness, yes salvation, yes the Holy Spirit, yes prayer, scripture… but to change REALLY REALLY CHANGE… you have to honestly ask God what you need to change. Ask God to reveal to you what you need to change.
In my church plant years ago a young girl came to Christ… she was marvelously transformed at the Altar. We prayed and talked for a few minutes and one of her questions was about what to do now… I explained a few things about how to read and pray and disciple yourself… But one of the things I said was to ask God what you need to give to him in order to be more like him…. Or something like that.
The next Sunday she comes in with 2 big garbage bags and puts them up by the altar… I asked her what they were - she reminded me of our conversation last week and said she asked God what she needed to give to him and it was the majority of her clothing… she dressed very provocatively… so when God said you need to give me your clothes and your style etc… she assumed she should bring it to church and put it at the altar.
The innocence and desire to change…to do anything to change to be more intimate with Jesus… wow. I was totally convicted.
What do you need to change in order to change? Honesty with yourself and with God… I dare you to ask him to open your eyes and show you what you really need to change. And the conviction to act on it.

I once asked my wife to do something… quite hard for her, and maybe even selfish on my part… but she smiled and obeyed… it was at that moment that I realized all the obedience on my part had created a oneness that we had never had up to that point… and in that oneness came a deep power to work, live and minister together….
In the middle of the night, there was a pastor in Chicago who was awakened from his sleep. He heard the Holy Ghost tell him to go down to the Chicago train station and preach the Gospel. He thought to himself, “that’s silly. Why would God ask me to do that?” So he rolled over and went back to sleep. The same thing happened again, and then a third time, until finally the man gave in and drove to the train station.
When he arrived no one was there, but he was obedient and preached a basic Gospel message and even gave an altar call even though it seemed no one was even listening. Afterwards, he went home.
Years later that same pastor went to a Billy Sunday meeting where the great evangelist gave his testimony of how he received salvation. He said, “I was down at the Chicago train station, and there was a man preaching the Gospel, and even though I couldn’t see him nor did I know where the voice was coming from, he led me to the Lord that night!” Billy Sunday reached millions of people with the Gospel through his ministry.
Handstand at the slurpy machine.
Obedience is a fancy term for faith.
You can’t have one without the other.
Obedience is a muscle.
The more you practice it the stronger it gets.
Obedience brings power - If I can trust you I will give you more power. The talents… you get more.
Obedience is not always understood by you -
So many times I have scratched my head and asked God why? And all he replies is just do it. Many times later I understand and see why.
Obedience is uncomfortable
Most of the time… but I will say this, the more you practice obedience the easier it becomes… never completely a walk in the park, but definitely easier and easier.
Obedience is not understood by the masses
Radical obedience will never be understood by the lukewarm and the lost.
Obedience is the first domino
Once you obey in the small things… the big things open up to you.
Obedience and its fall out many times happens later - Obedience is like compound interest. At the 16th year your interest just about matches your investment. At year 40 it is more than 3X’s your investment. I.e. if you invest 185k, in 40 years it will be worth over 800K.
Obedience is the greatest interest you would ever want to reap.
Obedience to those over you is just as important as
Obedience to God
If you can’t obey those in power over you, it will be almost impossible for God to use you in obedience to him.

2 Chronicles 2:5 “The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods. 6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
(6) But who is able.—Literally, who could keep strength? (See 1Chronicles 29:14.)
The heaven . . . cannot contain him.—This high thought occurs in Solomon’s prayer (1Kings 8:27; 2Chronicles 6:18).
Who am I then . . . before him?—That is, I am not so ignorant of the infinite nature of Deity, as to think of localising it within an earthly dwelling. I build not for His residence, but for His worship and service. (Comp. Isaiah 40:22.)
To burn sacrifice.—Literally, to burn incense. Here, as in 2Chronicles 2:4, used in a general sense.
We are blessed to have the Holy Spirit living inside of us… but lets not kid ourselves… we still cannot fathom the potential and the depth of who he is. Yes he lives in us, and yes we house the Holy Spirit… but his spirit has not yet been fully revealed nor the potential experienced by us mortal humans…
Thus I still come back to a simple understanding… even though I have his spirit living inside me… I am still on my own seen as a place of sacrifice. I may not be able to house and experience everything the Holy Spirit is… but I can still continue to live as a dwelling place for his sacrifice. Might I be a sacrifice unto the Lord daily… my body, my emotions, my mind, my soul… i.e. my wants needs desires… they are all housed in me to simply be sacrificed for his greater good. Remember what Romans 12:1 says: I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship… His spirit abides in us and we worship that spirit by daily sacrifice… Again what Did 2 Chron. 2 say… all this temple is good for is sacrifice…
And because WE cannot possibly house all that he is… we CAN sacrifice all that we are.

Luke 15 The prodigal…
The Fathers Response:
Shut up… Bring the BEST ROBE
Best GK - Protost - The best, the chief, influencer, the robe of position.
It was the Fathers robe passed down to the first born… but this kid was not the first born.
The oldest kid did everything right… and was quite ticked that his younger brother came back and that his dad threw him a party… but the robe too?
Thats just not fair….
Here is a secret… forgiveness is not fair!
When you are upset at someones forgiveness and the blessing they receive from God… it simply means you are not aware FULLY of how much God forgave you.
It would be like arguing over which deadly disease the doctor cured you from…
What you cure him from stage 4 liver cancer… but you only save me from stage 4 lung cancer… thats not fair.
Another reason Why the older brother had a hard time with this? He was earthly minded.

Im going to do something I rarely ever do…
Im’a talk about me tonight.
Make it fast and then allow for some questions.
Shake
Break
Awake
Everyone has to be shaken…
I never thought my life would be shaken… I grew up in the perfect home.
I married the perfect girl
I love Jesus with all my heart…
WHAT COULD GO WRONG???
I am human… my life will be shaken.
- Abraham -Was old.
- Elijah – Was suicidal.
- Joseph – Was abused.
- Job – Went bankrupt.
- Moses – Had a speech problem.
- Gideon – Was afraid.
- Samson – Was a womanizer.
- Rahab – Was a prostitute.
- Samaritan Woman – Divorced.
- Noah – Was a Drunk.
- Jeremiah – Was young.
- Jacob – Was a cheater.
- David – Was a murderer.
- Jonah – Ran from God.
- Naomi – Was a widow.
- Peter – Denied Christ three times
- Martha – Worried about everything.
- Zacchaeus – Was small and money hungry.
- The Disciples – Fell asleep while praying.
- Paul – A Pharisee who persecuted Christians before becoming one.
Everyone has to be broken….
Everyone wants to be used, great, accomplished…
but no one wants to be broken.
You will never be greatly used -unless you are greatly broken.
Awake…. Like a flower that comes to life…
The beauty of having a son who was a prodigal
A wife who was suicidal
A marriage that started out as a dumpster fire
Bankruptcies, 3 cancers, brain tumor, 20 surgeries…
I have learned to trust deep
I have more clarity
I have more power
I have more anointing
*The secret weapon in my life has been this…
I learned early on to serve God for one reason.
HE IS WORTHY…
LIFE ON EARTH IS SIMPLY BOOTCAMP
LIFE AFTER EARTH IS WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT…
Last two thoughts:
*When we get to heaven we will quickly realize our suffering or our blessing does not compare to heaven.
*WE WILL SERVE IN HEAVEN ACCORDING TO OUR SERVICE TO GOD ON EARTH

5 Steps to Transition a Free Country to Socialism
Disclaimer: The following information is presented as a theoretical framework and does not advocate for any specific political system. It's important to note that real-world transitions to socialism are often complex and involve a variety of factors.
1. Centralized Economic Planning:
- Government Control: The government takes control of major industries and resources, determining production, distribution, and pricing.
- Reduced Private Enterprise: Private ownership of businesses is restricted or eliminated, leading to a decline in market competition.
**We see this with big Pharma, the global warming movement, the FDA and free speech on social media platforms…
2. Nationalization of Key Industries:
- Government Ownership: The government acquires ownership of essential industries like transportation, energy, healthcare, and education.
- Public Services: These industries are then operated as public services, often providing goods and services at subsidized rates or for free.
3. Welfare Programs Expansion:
- Social Safety Net: The government expands social welfare programs to provide financial assistance, healthcare, housing, and other benefits to citizens.
- Reduced Inequality: This aims to reduce economic inequality and create a more equitable society.
4. Labor Union Empowerment:
- Collective Bargaining: Labor unions are encouraged or mandated to negotiate with employers on behalf of workers.
- Worker Rights: This promotes worker rights, such as fair wages, safe working conditions, and job security.
5. Political Reorganization:
- Democratic Centralism: The government may adopt a system of democratic centralism, where decisions are made collectively by party leaders and then implemented throughout the organization.
**this has been this whole past presidency… President Biden has not been in charge… it has been a behind the scenes collective power brokerage of decision making ‘minds that be”… who are those minds? I have my guesses, but I will bite my tongue for now.
- One-Party Rule: In some cases, a single political party may come to dominate the government, leading to a reduction in political pluralism.
It's important to note that these are general steps and the specific path to socialism can vary significantly depending on the country's unique circumstances and historical context. Additionally, the effectiveness and desirability of these steps are subjects of ongoing debate and discussion.
But all this is sped up and empowered by what we call Crisis fatigue. A government creates crisis after crisis and creates a social DNA in their people that is overwhelmed with division and distraction until finally the majority just give up and say… “I just wish the government would take care of me and everybody would just be equal”….. Can someone just take care of me, im overwhelmed.
The key to this is don’t see it as a crisis. Covid… I never saw it as a crisis. Grocery shortage, no TP, Retirement fund going under, investments crashing, climate change, Political unrest, Vaccine mandate, influx of illegal aliens… Younger generation going nuts, LGBTQ, Trans agenda, BLM, racism… none of it is a crisis.
