My media channels all go to Garth Heckman starting today… Today I uploaded a clip of me unloading a 30 round mag in my new Glock 19X and then add some flavor to it with another weapon thrown in…
Text me 30 second interviews of you asking people “whats it take to be a man” (and send me yours as well) Please let people know this is not a gender question… just simply in each persons mind we have a simple theory of what it takes to be a man… I will post them on all my social meads channels… hey I would love to hear from women as well. There are no right or wrong answers… and I don’t just want christian men, so if a guy cusses we will edit it out if its really bad.
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.

Its more than a one time thing… its a forever thing, but the clause is quite restrictive… but I do believe worth it. Its all about healing, deliverance, provision.
The Truth About Divine Healing
Divine healing through prayer is as old as the race of man. The first book of the Bible, Genesis, records the healing of the wives of a heathen king in response to the prayer of Abraham. The second book of the Bible, Exodus, gives us the terms of a distinctive covenant between the nation of Israel and Jehovah Rophie.-“The Lord thy Healer.” In this covenant God not only agreed to heal the people when sick, but not to permit the sicknesses of Egypt to touch them. Its terms are: “If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight,
and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all his
statutes"-on this condition Jehovah agrees,-“I will put
（permit) none of these diseases upon thee which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord, that healeth thee"（Exodus 15:26). Under this covenant the nation, 12-tribed, lived without doc-
tors or medicine for 450 years, until the nation of Israel had an army of 1,100,000, and Judah an army of 500,000. Figuring on the same basis as the number of Americans in the army during the World War, this would give Israel a combined population of
between 25 and 30 million. King David gives the most extraordinary report that history records.David says:"There was not one feeble person among
their tribes"(Psalm 105:37). such historic data should go far to convince the world of a day that an absolute trust in God is not Only a safe policy, but a most scientific guarantee of national health.
Isn’t it interesting that as America has gotten farther and farther from a God based biblical belief system we have also gotten more sick as a nation… yes, food quality is worse, health habits are worse, exercise as a daily habit is worse… yes all that is true. But we still can’t deny that as a nation that turns its back on God it turns into a sickly, diseased filled cancer ridden existence.
Now I get it… I sit here as someone who has had 3 cancers, a brain tumor, 20 surgeries and more… and I love God. So I am not saying that if you love God you won’t get sick… but I would be so bold as to say if you love God and you get sick… you will stand a better chance of surviving it.
Years ago I was talking to Samuel Success… from Africa, and yes thats his real name. When I asked him why he saw such great healings in his churches out in the bush… he smiled and without hesitation said “Because the hospitals are to far away to get to in time. If we tried to make it to the hospital we would surely die before we arrived.”
In a sense it was their only hope.
I think that is part of the equation here in this verse. What else could the children of Israel do when in a time of physical need? They had to rely on God… Again I am not talking about moving so far away up in the mountains that you don’t have any other choice but God… however there is a seed here that needs to be planted in our minds and our spirits… and that is this… Yes medicine is good, doctors are great and all that western medicine has to offer is a blessing… but do I still have an urgent dependence of God rather than a doctor or a bottle of pills.
YES I will see a doctor, I will take some pills and even get a few surgeries, but is God still the number one priority and number one survival option… maybe thats the prayer for us today… God whatever comes my way, May I see you as the most important and vital ingredient to the solution.

Mark 4
Matthew 13
When wanting to become proficient in anything we all know that the basics must be first understood. Without a firm foundation of the basics in any subject you will never fully understand or even remotely become good at that subject.
When I studied greek in Bible college I quickly realized how bad I was at just simple English… I did not know what a verb was, a pronoun, a noun… I just somehow missed all this and still passed the tests and got graduated…
But when you go to greek class and you don’t have these basics under your belt… trust me on this.. you will suffer… it will set you back and you might even fail…
Jesus says something remarkable about the parable of the seeds….
Some fell on the rocks, some on weeds, some the birds ate, some the sun scorched, some on thorns and some on good soil….
What are the seeds?
Its gods word… so then Jesus says something remarkable about this parable because it is actually a parable about out this parable… you won’t understand anything if you don’t understand this parable. Let me dumb it down for you… If you don’t have a heart prepared to receive Gods word… you won’t understand anything. It all starts with a heart that will receive, conceive and achieve the potential for what the word is for.
You can read the Bible, go to church, listen to Christian music and even go to bible college… but if your heart is not prepared and open to understand Gods word… none of that matters.
What did it take to have good soil in the days of Christ… you had to prepare it with tilling, fertilizer, water and protection from weeds and bugs and animals… Let me spell it out for you… it took hard work to prepare you soil. It takes hard work to truly get all you can out of scripture. Prepare your heart how?
I would start out with confession… Ask God to forgive you of sins, wrong motives, bitterness etc..
Then tell God you need his help, Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, then till your heart by reading different translations, a few commentaries and even other scriptures that align with your topic. Work hard at it… if you don’t have a heart and a life that accepts scripture… nothing else will make sense.

Mark 4
Matthew 13
Its not enough to pray to God
Its not enough to just seek God
Its not enough to read his word…
You gotta study his word… study the intricacies, the whole bible. What does that verse you just read mean in the context of salvation, creation, sin, redemption…
What do other verses speak of regarding this topic…
In Bible college Pastor Harry Schmitt played a tape of an old southern -down deep southern pastor from a small tiny church… the pastor was preaching about King Solomon’s wealth and got to the verse in 1 Kings 11 where it talked about all of his wives and concubines…
300 combines…
Rev. 3:16 I want you either hot or cold…
So many bad sermons on that verse…
I read, study, study, pray, read etc… and here is a secret I have learned… my insight does not come from all the books but rather from the searching…
2 Timothy 2:15
Be zealous to be a proven hard worker that is shows in every area of your life. That you made a pure clean cut in your handling of Gods word… and his truth now makes a divine manifestation in your life.
By simply being a hard working zealous pursuer of Gods truth you are changed and blessed… maybe more than the actual truth at some times.
Back to what I was saying a minute ago… my insight, my blessing, my illumination is a gift from God from my hard work of handling his word properly.
Look peeps, get your bibles, get your concordances, get your study helps, your greek text and Hebrew text and study…
Yes pray
Yes memorize
Yes Read…
But don’t miss out on Studying Gods word… that goes a long way past simply reading.

Roy, hope you had a chance to check out the podcast… its always great talking to you.
Acts 2:44 and they gave sacrificially - maybe that was part of the secret to such power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
Is it worth the sacrifice?
I was just talking recently to someone who said “I heard a person say that listening to secular rock music can invite demons… and it led into a great conversation in which I shared not only that, but also what you watch on TV, what images you put in your brain, who you hang out with and even jewelry or clothes you wear…
I told her that in fact most of this is seemingly harmless… even yoga can be demonic and invite a presence of evil that you are unaware of.
She had a hard time with what I was saying and then I stopped her and asked….
BUT EVEN IF IT SEEMS QUITE BENIGN - WOULDN’T IT BE WORTH IT TO EXPERIENCE EVEN MORE OF HIS POWER AND HIS PRESENCE?
And thats really what the Christian walk comes down to… sacrifice seems sometimes silly… but its worth it. Look if you told someone “quit listening to Slayer and Meshugah… its demonic and it hinders your walk with God”… you probably would not get much push back from most Christians… even those who listen to such music…
But if I said, don’t wear that chain that has a yin and yang symbol on it… you might just smile and let it go and think Im overreacting… but what if I am not. What if its worth it?
Today is not about all the weird, crazy, things we hear about what is and what is not demonic. For a long time Christian music was an idol for me… and I gave it up. At one time Working out was an idol for me and I gave it up…
Are these demonic? Yes and no. Not for you but maybe for me… maybe just for that season, but its demonic if it hinders what God wants to do in my life.
I know this…as I have read and studied the men and woman who are used the greatest by God… and I mean raise the dead, heal the sick, words of prophecy and words of knowledge… those people hold themselves to a much higher standard than the rest of us…
They do weird things like not shaking hands with certain people. Not walking into houses that have secular artists and art on the wall. Not even walking into stores that have secular music playing and even stranger stuff to most of us… and yet they promise me that its the standard by which God has called them to if they want more intimacy and power.
I think of it this way… my wife and I are best friends. We can be at a mall, shopping, eating, background music playing, friends with us, buying stuff we probably don’t really need and really enjoying ourselves… and we are intimate.
But not like when you strip all that away and its just us, in bed, no music, no clothes on, just feeling each others body heat and talking … even whispering our intimate secrets, whispering what we want the other person to know, whispering our love for them.
So you say… well yeah I would take that over the other as well.
Than I would challenge you the reason you don’t want to sacrifice things out of your life for God, isn’t because you think its too hard, but rather you have never experienced that deeper intimacy and realized “its worth it”.
To give up time with friends, food, money, laughter, shopping… is easy when I know how much more powerful true intimacy is… I will give it up in a heartbeat every time. She’s worth it… and so is God.

Handling the word of God…
Sword play
Study to show thyself approved unto God…
Scripture calls the word of God a two edged sword for a reason.
It was sharp, deadly and to be practiced with.
Question: Who wins in a sword fight? The one with the sharpest sword? The one with the biggest sword? The one who has the longest sword? The one who has the fastest sword?….
NOPE its the one who practices the most with the sword?
Read Your Bible Regularly
Study the Word of God Faithfully
Believe and Proclaim God’s Truth
Evaluate Your Life in Light of God’s Word
Put the Word of God into Action
