WE TRANSFORM BY ABIDING
To understand these next few days it is so important that you listen to the first one called Jealousy. It sets the stage for the levels of abiding in God.
So after yesterday we talked about praise and worship… and next is the Word of God.
Prayer (Praying scripture, praying in tongues)
Making our requests known. Prayer of petition,
But the most powerful prayers are just conversations where you talk, and listen. Remember prayer is simply talking to God… but IT IS GOD we are talking to. So even though it is simple- it is profound and don’t forget that.
If you had the chance to talk to your hero…how much time would you want and how serious would you take it? lets treat prayer with God the same.
We call it prayer because it is to denote that we are conversing with a deity, but again it is just conversation.
What makes a good conversation? Ever talk to someone who just won’t shut up, who interrupts and the conversation is always about them?
Welcome to my prayer time - ok kidding, not kidding. We can make prayer all about us, but its really all about the Father in heaven.
He is our Daddy, we have open heavens to commune with him… so talk
Also prayer is never just a piece of my day- its the filler. Smith Wigglesworth said “I rarely pray more than 30 minutes a day, but I rarely go 30 minutes without praying”. What did he mean? Prayer is to be thought of as continual communion with Jesus through out the day. yes, we have set times of prayer, but he should always be a part of our thought process and conversation through out the day.
Finally what we have been really trying to get at is the idea behind abiding… and that is simply waiting.
You must understand that God does want to talk to you. He does want to be in your presence… but it comes down to waiting and how much do you want it, or him!
Waiting on the Lord is an act of faith.
Quiet your phones, cut out all distractions, quit praying, settle your soul and just wait on God. For his move, his word, his love. Remember he is a jealous God… give him your full attention and just wait.
I like to have a journal in hand, and a pen and I just wait. I don’t ask questions, I don’t sing, I don’t let my mind wander, I just say speak to me God… and you would be surprised at just how much he wants to talk to you.
John 7:38, 39 38Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’” 39He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.…
If you really believe in him, then you will make it a habit, a discipline to wait on him…. and Rivers of living water shall flow out of you- not just a river, but rivers… his spirit will touch every area of your life!

WE TRANSFORM BY ABIDING
To understand these next few days it is so important that you listen to the first one called Jealousy. It sets the stage for the levels of abiding in God.
So after yesterday we talked about praise and worship… and next is the Word of God.
praise and worship
we bring a sacrifice of praise… praise crucifies the flesh.
Psalm 100 we enter his courts with thanksgiving in our hearts we enter his courts with praise….
This is a Psalm about the sheep entering into the courts of the temple… news flash- the sheep entering into the course are there to be sacrificed.
Praise and worship is
A form of faith in and through obedience in all circumstances.
You praise him - regardless of circumstances (obedience)
You believe his word - “ “ “ (obedience)
You act on his word - “ “ “ (obedience)
You live his mission - “ “ “ (obedience)
The difference of Praise and worship
Praise is stepping on the flesh. You don’t feel like it but you put your flesh to death. We bring a sacrifice of praise. We surrender our feelings, our flesh and our surroundings.
We need to praise in order to move into the deeper parts of worship.
once we sacrifice our flesh only then can we truly be drawn into worship.
Worship is an understanding of being moved by his presence to WANT to worship him.
In the hebrew the word worship means lick or kiss
Barak - to kneel, fall down, worship him. To salute God! A total surrender.
We want to worship him! We need to worship him, it becomes our heart focus and desire.
So we praise him regardless of how we feel, we yell, sing, shout, get excited to be in his presence… WE MAKE OUR FLESH CONFORM TO HIS WORTH… HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED- TO SACRIFICE OUR FEELINGS AND FLESH TO BRING HIM WORDS OF PRAISE!
THEN WE CAN WORSHIP HIM…

WE TRANSFORM BY ABIDING
To understand these next few days it is so important that you listen to the first one called Jealousy. It sets the stage for the levels of abiding in God.
So after yesterday we talked about praise and worship… and next is the Word of God.
The word
Is a light,
is a sword,
is life, it is sustenance
is wisdom ITS WORK!
2 Tim. 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, WORKMAN that needeth not be ashamed.
Levels of reading Gods word
- 1 You just read to read, maybe it is discipline, maybe curiosity, maybe guilt, maybe habit… and it is basically head knowledge. We typically start there. Not a lot of work involved really… just reading.
- 2 Read and re-read. Looking for other scriptures that highlight and speak to the current scriptures you are reading. You read about sowing and reaping in Galatians, and you go check out Luke 8 on sowing and reaping the word, then you realize the verses on Gods family in 19-21 is about sowing.
- 3 Reading and studying with other books, and assistance from DVD’s, bible courses etc… Trying to understand the historical setting, the church background, the audience, the author and the greek behind the text.
- 4 Reading until you see Christ reveal himself in the word. Lets take our previous example of sowing and reaping… now you realize that Christ had to be a seed, and be planted in the ground, and die and then resurrect int life eternal for those of us to feast off of and have life eternal. All things begin to point to Jesus.
READ until God shows you insight, illumination and finally read until you are more hungry to spend time with God. When I read and pray and abide- I know it is working because it makes me want to spend even more time in reading, praying and abiding!
The great hero of faith, Smith wiggles worth, John G lake, Oral Roberts, Kathryn Kuhlman, John G Finney and the list could go on and on… they all were hungry for time with God and it became a habit and an addiction to where they would spend hours a day (and never miss day) with God.

WE TRANSFORM BY ABIDING
Psalm 91 91
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place, (ABIDE)
10
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
Ps. 91:1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
DWELLS - lives continually, this is where I do my business, this is my mindset, this is my calling, this is my hope, this is my framework. It’s where I live!
REST - Abide, like when an eagle rests on the winds underneath its wings.
PSALM 91:1 SECRET PLACE
What is the secret place?
Psalm 31:20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Ps. 91: He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide/wait under the shadow of the Almighty.
REST - Abide, like when an eagle rests on the winds underneath its wings.
How to wait
God is a jealous God.
Have you ever wanted someones attention, you actually deserve it- and they are distracted.
WE always think of jealousy as a bad thing… but it also can be a good thing.
It wants to protect, it wants to instruct, it wants you to recognize their love and intent for you.
Kim in our yard talking to the neighbor… she had a bikini top on with shorts… the guy next door would always want to talk to her on the fence - I was ticked, I told her not to walk over there and talk to him. I was jealous!
“For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God” (Deut. 4:24).
God wants all of you!
Turn off your phone- silence your soul and mind. Shut down your computer, maybe even turn off the praise music.

The Currency
Friday Jun 03, 2022
Friday Jun 03, 2022
What is the currency of intimacy with God?
What is the currency of power from God?
What is the currency for the anointing of God?
Do you have to be willing to be mocked?
Do you have to be willing to be stripped of some of your wants and desires? Do you have to be weird?
Well lets back up…
First the currency to be used by God, to be intimate with Jesus and to be anointed greatly by the Holy Spirit is simply this… you must be willing to spend time.
Time is a very valuable commodity - maybe the most valuable commodity… and you have to be willing to spend it. Cut out time from your calendar, your TV watching time, your friends, your hobbies, you must be willing to even isolate people because you choose time with God over time with others. You may have to say not to special projects, dinner with friends, time on hobbies or even just resting on the couch… you SPEND your time on God.
Now because of that you will be led in different areas, and used in uncommon ways and even minister in very odd and to some- disturbing methods.
Now because of that you will be mocked, you will be stripped of some desires and wants, you will be ridiculed.
Some people think being weird will bring the presence of God - nope. but having the presence of God will make you stand out for odd reasons.
There are times when I will be watching a movie with family and or friends and I have to leave to go pray. It might be that the movie disturbs me so much I have to leave and pray… and BTW by disturbing me I mean to most in a very mundane almost pedestrian way. like I leave because a woman is having an affair - not even sexual content, just the mention of it… to most it would seem benign - but anyway. Sometimes I just leave the movie or the room because I realize it is a waste of time and i could be praying.
Now because of those things, you will also be preparing yourself to be mocked (but you will be able to take it, because you have the intimacy to rest in) You will be ridiculed, you will be called a phony, you will be questioned on your theology, you will have family members lash out at you or even treat you with a smug and snideful attitude.
But then something strange starts to happen, you will gladly offer up your life, your interests, your goals, your time, your talent, your money all that is within you- you will say Take all of me God - and you will truly mean it. And yes, he may in fact take all of you and more!
But it is worth it!
Push in, pray, seek him and trust the process. Be willing to pay the currency of time to know him more!

REGISTER NOW VIA EMAIL OR LOOK FOR OUR UPCOMING QR CODE ON OUR MEDIA… THIS WILL FILL UP FAST!

Those who have registered you will get your money back- but now is the time to prepare, and defend and attack for the sake of righteousness. WE must keep our families safe.
July 9th - Saturday - A Father Daughter/Son conference called PROTECTOR! Speakers on how to protect your son and daughter Emotionally, physically, sexually, socially and spiritually. Ages 10 and up if you feel your student is mature enough. Price $100 per family. At HillSpring Church New prague south of the Twin Cities
Just landed a speaker who will challenge you how to keep your kids safe from human trafficking… you say well my kid will never fall into that… oh not so fast. You obviously don’t know what you are talking about… so get ready to sign up!
So you wanna be used by God
Like a stand out, super Christian, handling temptation like a boss, praying and getting answers, healings, signs and miracles… but what do you gotta do? Know these 10 things…
- 10 Let your kids grow up loved, with a great example…. but let them be normal.
What is the toughest job in the world?
Being a girl in middle school high school
You think you know pressure? Just wait until you feel like you are truly finding your place in ministry and all of a sudden your kids decide to not follow your beliefs, or they rebel or they get pregnant or hooked on drugs or attract a very raw reputation.
There is a pressure few know until they go through this. And yes, I went through it.
First thought today on this last point is this: It took you years to get to the point you are at spiritually… don’t forget your kids are not there yet. They will need to go on their own journey. Love them through it. Just because you would never think about going to a Miley Cyrus concert doesn’t mean they don’t want to go - AND and you should BE THE ONE TO take them. Let your kids be normal. And besides when you are there, they must reflect on who you are, how they have been raised and wether or not this is truly the best atmosphere for them. Kids want to have the newest fashions, the newest kicks, the newest music… don’t make these things a wall, use them to build a bridge. Talk to your kids about their choices in fashion, food, music, media… and ask lots of questions. But realize you will get farther by talking then by telling.
When Ephesians tells children to obey their parents and to submit to them… it begs the question. Are your worthy of obeying? Is your example what they should be following?
Would you want them to have your prayer time?
Your time in the word?
Your instagram pages?
Your attitudes?
Should they value church as much or as little as you do?
Should they use the same language as you?
Should they have the same values i.e. comparing themselves in order to try to look better than others?
Should they have the same attitude towards your spouse (their parent) as you have towards your spouse?
I think we ask a lot of our kids sometimes in that we don’t do what we ask. Examples are better caught than taught right?
I have always wanted to know and hear Gods voice in a clear and distinctive way. Why? Because I grew up with a super spiritual hunger in my life? Nope… I have always wanted to grow up and work out and be in shape… because I am naturally gifted in athletics… nope.
I have always wanted to read and know my bible… because I want to impress people with my scholarly knowledge? Nope.
I have always wanted to have an amazing relationship with my boys growing up… because I am worried they won’t grow up to men of success and maturity? Nope.
I wanted to have a vibrant successful marriage… so I would look good and be able to tell others how to? NOPE.
I wanted to hear Gods voice - because I saw my mom hear his voice regularly.
I wanted to read the bible and know it inside and out because I saw my Dad do it.
I wanted to work out and be healthy Because I saw my dad do it.
I wanted to have an amazing relationship with my boys because my parents had one with me.
I wanted to have a great marriage because my parents showed me how to have a great marriage.
The only thing worse then your kids rebelling and making stupid choices - is kids doing this in the absence of strong parenting and a biblical example. Kids will follow your example- period. Make sure its a good one.
Yes let them be normal with caution and lots of conversation about what normal is and if it is safe or even worthy of their attention, but also love them verbally, physically, financially, write them notes, text them… may they never go a day without knowing that you love them.

Like a stand out, super Christian, handling temptation like a boss, praying and getting answers, healings, signs and miracles… but what do you gotta do? Know these 10 things…
- 8 Perseverance is underrated - satans greatest strategy is patience and perseverance… we should outlast him!
What happens when you pray and nothing happens, you sacrifice and nothing happens, you give extra and nothing happens, you believe big and nothing happens. Do you give up? Make excuses? Change your theology and scripture to match your experiences?
Or do you realize that it is a simple test to push in. God is calling you deeper into him… beyond the exploits and into his presence!
We give up in our culture way to easy… Im glad farmers don’t give up. We would all be eating dirt.
In David Bodanis’ biography “Einstein’s Greatest Mistake” Bodanis explores the fact that Einstein was a genius, but only after his remarkable perseverance and curiosity. He had the attitude of “what it” as in “well that didn’t work, but what if I _____________ Did it again, tried something different, tried harder, what if I just didn’t give up?
In our journey of spiritual maturity and exploits in the faith, It would be good to cultivate that same mindset of what if… and just keep persevering.
James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Full affect… what exactly does that mean? It means to persevere just a few times and then give up is not enough. You persevere until it has its full effect - a break through, an answered prayer a miracle… whatever is needed keep persevering!
So that you get the full affect
So that you are perfect
So that you are complete - in every area
So that you lack nothing - not left behind… others seem like their lives are more fruitful, blessed, anointed etc… Because they persevered!
- 9 Loving people is hard
Do it anyway.
Jesus said
31Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
People won’t love you back - love them anyway
People will tear your reputation apart - love them anyway
People will take advantage of you - Love them anyway
Look people are mean, stupid, angry, deceived and hopeless… most will never change - love them anyway.
And that is why this is the hardest thing to do! and now we know why jesus is so amazing.
Be like Jesus and love them anyway.

- 6 Just because your ministry is growing doesn’t mean you should do more.
Bankruptcy comes quickly in todays spiritual world, especially if you treat your life as a ministry.
When I have a wave of supernatural experiences in my life I tend to push in more and see more to do and to pray for… sounds good right? But it is?
A famous violinist named Joshua Bell once played for 45 minutes in a Washington DC Metro station. Though he played a $3 Million violin and had sold out a Boston theater just two nights before, only six people stopped to listen to his music. And only one person recognized him and talked to him and thanked him.
"Maintaining a complicated life is a great way to avoid
changing it."
- Elaine St. James, Author and Simplicity Guru
I might look at that statement like this… having a successful ministry and doing more might be a great way to avoid what God wants to do in you.
See sometimes we focus more on what God wants to do through us then in us! That is the horse before the cart. And isn’t that the case especially if our ministry right now seems like it is growing and moving and fruitful.
We can do so much in ministry that
It can put you to sleep while people are dying and going to hell.
- 7 Just because your ministry is NOT growing doesn’t mean you should do more.
So if your ministry is not growing what should you do?
First ask some simple questions: is your heart right? Is their undealt sin in your life? Are relationships right in your life? If your ministry focused on bringing glory to God or making you look successful and spiritual? Remember in all things MGLG!
Then try these
Focus on more prayer
Meet with new voices in your life
Put more time into what is working and where your gifts are at
Here is a novel idea… enjoy the slow times or the times when your ministry is in a lull…. ask God what do you need during this time from him.

My Mentors are Ray Johnston, Tom Scarella, Tom Flahrety, Patrick Bet-David, Tom Stamman, Gary Palermo, Paul Marzahn, David Hohimer, My father and a few others… these have been in and out of my entire life
I am also mentored by books. I try to read a book a week and listen to podcasts that are almost 99% informational and instructional, my favorite is The Huberman lab…
But I don’t just want mentors, know that I need mentors. I am constantly looking for Mentors.
- 5 Mentors are not optional
You cannot grow without mentors, accountability partners and leaders in your own life. Find those who are more spiritual than you, more biblical than you, smarter than you, more like Jesus than you, more on fire than you and more in tune with his spirit and gifts than you and soak up what they got.
If you want to immediately get ahead an additional 30-50% in any area of life within a year - find a few mentors! It is really that simple!
You know a world class athlete has had up to 15 different coaches in their life to get them to that level. Coaches on nutrition, speed, agility, weight training, coaching for their position, their sport and for the mental aspect of the game. AND THATS JUST SPORTS… we are in the game of spiritual warfare - take it seriously and get a mentor, coach, partner!
A great mentor will add
specific insight and advice to your Spiritual needs
Encouragement
Short cuts
wisdom from his experience
Encouragement
Stories
How do you find a great mentor? Pray, seek out those who stand out to you, ask them but most importantly don’t waste their time. do what they say, stay hungry, be on time, listen as if your life depended on it.
Entrepreneur Jim Rohn put it well: “Don’t take the casual approach to life. Casualness leads to casualties. Seek out the mentors that you need that will lead you to greatness in your field. If you’re not willing to learn from others, who are you willing to learn from?”
Socrates mentoring Plato – Plato mentoring Aristotle
Steven Spielberg mentoring J.J. Abrams
Warren Buffett mentoring Bill Gates
Steve Jobs mentoring Mark Zuckerberg
Last Secret to mentorship - not only find a mentor, be a mentor. There are lots of opportunities for you out there, just start looking.

- 3 Strategy is as important as mission and vision
Like anyone who writes Goals… who cares until you write out a strategy to do those goals. Goals are just imaginary wish tales from fairyland unless they have actual steps in place to get them done.
If you don’t know how to implement a strategy you will fall into the trap of continually changing the vision, mission, purpose or smoother buzz word… but if you CAN implement a strategy you will get a lot done in the kingdom of God regardless of what you call it. WHAT DO I MEAN EXACTLY… God is not random. He wants you to have his plan and strategy for ministry and not just a “letter rip” attitude. How many evangelists I have seen who are mighty, and powerful… but have not strategy. How many Godly men who are respected and loved and are making a difference in peoples lives, but still no strategy. Here is a thought when considering strategy… are you working a plan to recreate yourself? Are you putting money aside for when times get tough. Are you planning out your next 1 year, 5 year and 10 year plan for your gifting, talents and leadership ability. Do you have people right now you are training up under you? What is your strategy to train them up? When you read the gospels… read them again but with an eye for jesus strategy. You will be surprised just how detailed it was.
- 4 You will be tempted to cheat on your family because you love God and are being used by him. When I was a teenager we had a guest speaker come to our church who I loved. As a teen ager I looked up to him, he was funny, a great preacher, fun to be around and was a major player for Jesus with the supernatural. He came into town for some meetings and at one of his services in our church he started out by saying that he had to confess that the last 8 years he had been having an affair… oh no, not this guy- and even if you did, why tell anyone… But he went on… My mistress was named ministry… I cheated my wife, my kids and myself by putting more into her than the others. It got me thinking…. and then there was the evangelist who
I worked for who was known through out North America and parts of the world. He spoke to millions, he recorded dozens of albums, he led millions to Christ and his family is a farce. None are truly living for God and even more insightful is that none of his kids get along with each other. Truly disastrous…. but he would tell you right up front that ministry was more important than family… and to him it was… unfortunately his family paid the price and is still paying the price.
My Dad used to say “if Jesus already died for my family… why should I crucify them again over ministry”.
So you want to be used by God…??? your family doesn’t have to pay the price. In fact they should only reap the benefits from it and never feel cheated.
