"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. Ive lost almost 300 games. twenty six times I have been trusted with taking the game winning shot and I have missed. I have failed over an over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan
If I asked you how many times you prayed for the dead and they came back to life... what would be your answer? Probalby zero???
But there in lies the problem... we as Christians are afraid to fail... or as I like to think, we don't like to practice with our faith. The truth is I have had many lunches with men who tell stories of praying for lots and lots of people to come back to life and most of them have not... but they do have some adn those stories are remarkable. We often think that there is no failure in faith... we either have it or we don't. If we fail then we didnt' have enough faith or good faith or whatever you call it.
But the bottom line is this: you gotta practice your faith and God will never chastise you for trying and failing in your Christian walk. We have on record the disciples praying and failing, asking questions and not believing and Jesus never told them to give up. he would say "ye of little faith, and don't you understand yet, or even rebuke them for stupid conversations... but never, never did he tell them to quit trying to exercise their faith until they knew it was perfect.
Faith has to have some element of failure to it or it wouldnt' be faith... it would be fact. I know one thing about living for Christ- the word of God is fact, but living it out takes faith and with that faith comes failure.
If I asked you how many prayers you have had answered in the miraculous, you might say well those are not my gifts and Im not that good of a Christian... but I rarely hear, well I have prayed about 500 times for the miraculous... and I mean intense times of prayer - and nothing has happened. YEA, LIKE I SAID, I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT. but we don't even have that excuse because we fear failure in our Christian walk. Most of us live a safe faith... we don't push it... but is that really logical to say I have a faith in Christ if we can't prove that from our failure of trying to serve christ?
Remember what it takes to be a man? He may fall 7 times but he gets back up. i.e. he never quits trying. He never quits believing, he in fact may never quit failing... but there will be some shining moments in and amongst some of those failures.
Michael Bloomberg once said "If you told me you skied all day and never fell I would tell you to try another mountain". But isn't that what many of us do... we faith it safe... but again is that really a faith. Can you say you have a faith in Christ if you never exercise it? And by that I mean you have lots of stories of failures in trying to live it out.
Look I am not saying that the Christian walk is laborous - thoough at times it can be... but I am saying that it has to have its share of war stories mixed in with the triumph stories. If all you have is triumph stories - well my guess is that then they are quite few and mostly quite bland.

I choose to do this… I choose to do that… I chose this… I chose that… You gotta be careful when choosing… why?
Because its not a choice of action… its a choice of attraction.
Choose to steal a pencil - no you chose to become a thief.
Every choice is a choice you choose to become.
Steal - thief
Lust - adulterer or fornicator
Gossip - untrustworthy
But why is this important… well lets read Joshua 24
Joshua 24:15 But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
When Israel is forced to make a choice here it is not just about who you will serve but who you will become and who will enslave you.
If you choose to serve the gods of your ancestors…well then you will be slaves to their gods and you will become like them…
But again, its not about what you become - tho that is very important its who you will attract by becoming that.
So when you want a friend, or a husband or wife… you attract who you are, who you have become. You know why so many marriages are in crisis? Because you married you. I always ask in marriage counseling sessions… would you want to be married to you?
its a great question - especially if you answer it honestly. but it also shows us who we are and what we have attracted into our life.
you want to attract favor and blessing, then become a person of favor and blessing. I don’t know that I will ever run out of money or encouragement because I give it away freely. I want to become that by making that choice and by making that choice I will attract that.
What is the power of a choice? Its what you become and what you become is what you attract~!
oh… maybe you have heard it like this… whatsoever a man sows (becomes) he shall reap ( he shall attract)

Iran and the US is still seeking a deal for oil… Iran is upping its nuclear capabilities. War and now rumors of war with Russia and Poland and or germany. And if you haven’t been paying attention Putin has been marching through Africa killing and taking control much through aligning with other dictators, Kings rulers etc… Inflation is sky high, The US is torn between Republican and Democrat, pro life and pro abortion, Pipeline vs. no pipeline, etc… not to mention There is talk of WWIII on the lips of many. There are rumors of other wars swirling. There is talk of a new COVID variant, fuel prices are soaring, supplies are dwindling – the negatives go on and on. But we, as Christians, need not fear. The One who knows the end from the beginning has made us a promise:
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Jimmy Evans writes…
This is so comforting because we do not find the word “unless” in or following this great truth. That means that when the world is filled with uncertainty and fear, we have soundness of mind and no fear. That means that when troubles come that weaken the human spirit, we have power through the Holy Spirit.
So what do we do during this time?
Give more - Expect more - Trust more! Give more what? Money, time, give a stronger witness in sharing Christ.
Why? I want people to see Gods goodness, his protection and his redeeming power in the life of believers.
My wife and I had a conversation last week about tithing… and you know what it would be easy to not tithe in todays world… but we do. And this week it has been tight… but I walked into my office and someone had slid under the door an envelope with Cash stuffed in it, I had received another check for $300 and I got a check from my publisher for royalty on my books, then someone dropped of a gas card for $100 and another $125 came in - this all in 2 days…. and I want to brag to a world that is worried that God is my supplier, my redeemer - he snaps the jaw of the devourer and aligns rows and rows of good things for me to reap. Gain is my future as I continue to give to God in all areas of my life. Again, not so I get stuff back, NOPE the only motive I have is to make God look good in these times of panic, want and fear for the rest of the world.
Remember what Hebrews 13 says
Hebrews 13:5-6
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
Let your conduct be without covetousness… what is Paul saying? He is saying quit looking at what everyone else has and wether or not you have enough, or will have enough or how will things work out… Be content and rest in God… he got you bro!
The Lord is my helper GK God will run to you to supply your needs. LOL so we can run after things in a panic or we can just let God run to us to meet our needs. I hate running so I will let God run!
Look Scripture is crystal clear in times of trial: We don’t panic, we don’t worry, we don’t doubt, we don’t strive, we don’t fear - we simply trust God and allow his faithfulness to meet our need and to show off his goodness in our life as a witness to the rest of the world!
Give more - Expect more - Trust more!

Abishai: commander and most honored of the mighty men. He killed 300 men and the son of a giant.
Benaiah: Captain of Davids guard, he killed 2 of the Moabite heroes, and Egyptian giant, a lion and he helped David secure the throne.
Jashobeam: chief of the captains and he killed 800 men at once.
Eleazar: fought alone with David until his hand froze to the sword.
Shammah: he ended a plot of barley from an entire camp of Philistines.
Qualifications for /Davids might men.
300 who followed him, but 37 that really stood out as the elite fighting force.
Down and out, running from the authority, broke, no skills.
What made them mighty men?
Believe in a vision or calling (they believed David would be King and was innocent and had integrity)
willing to risk their life. If you are going to follow David you are saying you are against the King of Israel. You now are wanted dead or alive.
Willing to be under authority.
Willing to be trained.
Willing to step into battle regardless of the outcome or the situation. 300 vs. the whole army of Israel… Ballsy!
They served a greater purpose.

Look at dem bones!
EZ. 37
37 The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”
This is a prophetic word spoken to Israel and I don’t want to stretch the meaning or proof text this - but I do think there are things that we can glean from it.
First off, you may have things in your life that seem to have fallen apart and are dead…
hopes, dreams, jobs, relationships, business plans, health,
and it may seem in fact that these areas of your life are dried up…
You know sometimes in life we have things that we just don’t realize until much time has passed that “hey its dead, there is no life in this” - that is a great place to be, because God works in the dead spaces in our life when we give them to him.
What does it take to have a miracle? an impossibility… or a dead spot if you will.
Why does he bring dead things back to life? He says why… so that you know that I am God and in the chapter previous it is also stated so the world knows he is God. God loves to show off in our dead places. When you can’t take any credit, but to say “only God could do that”!
We also see that even when things come together, a plan a business a relationship an opportunity -whatever it is… without the Breath of Life- the breath of God in it, its still dead. How many of you have seen a corpse? Still has the skin, tendons, lungs, muscles, bones etc… but no life because it does not have the breath of life in it.
WHEN GOD BREATHS ON SOMETHING… THINGS HAPPEN. BUT EVEN IF YOU HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER AND GOD HAS NOT BREATHED LIFE INTO IT… IT WILL LAY DEAD FOREVER.
v. 9 come four winds and breath on these bones…?
The four winds are referred to in the context of extraordinary events or situations as foreseen by prophets, made known to select persons by God in the form of visions, or revealed by Jesus Himself to His disciples.
The four winds are sometimes associated with the four corners of the earth or the four quarters of heaven.
The power of the four winds of the Bible is tremendous, both figuratively and practically. It can churn the great sea, it can uproot and scatter powerful empires (Daniel 7:2, 8:8, 11:4, Zechariah 2:6). The combined power of the four winds of heaven was to be deployed against the nation of Elam, to scatter the people in all directions (Jeremiah 49:36).
On the contrary, in another situation of a positive nature, the four winds were called upon to gather together and breathe life into the slain so that they may live (Ezekiel 37:9). But of greater significance is the reference to the four winds in the events that would occur when the Son of Man returns in His glory (Matthew 24:31, Mark 13:27). He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other, or from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.
- The powerful NORTHERN wind (accompanied by lightning) that brings rain, growth, and increase,
- The warm wind from the SOUTH that brings peace, quiet, healing, and comfort,
- The strong and dry EASTERN wind that scorches, devastates, and separates, and
- The wind from the WEST that drives off the devourer and brings relief and the promise of ‘rain’ of blessing and transformation.
What is the point? You can speak Gods word over your life, over your dead spots and ask God to send his powerful breath of life, his powerful wind of life into your situation. Wether it is completely dead and strewn around in piles of dry bones or it is perfectly fit together but has the life of a mannequin because it has no life…
doesn’t matter - prophesy Gods word from scripture into your dead spots! Expecting him to act on his word and do what he says he will do!

IV. Power changes the rules of the game!
Matthew 28:1-
The definition of power is rewritten.
The betrayer gets paid
The masses turn on Jesus and shout crucify
The authorities succeed in killing Jesus (this is stressed)
The Roman guards push their macho narrative by belittling and beating Jesus
Satan flexes his chest when Jesus dies
The woman are crushed and in despair hopeless
But then something happens….
God's power shift is announced with an earthquake.
The betrayer commits suicide
The masses fall in love with Jesus
Powerless women now stand at the center of action, while the powerful guards faint.
The authorities panic and have to bribe the romans
The Roman guards faint look for help like lost little children
Satan is now under the power of not just Jesus but all that have him in their life.
RIGHT HERE we see a power shift…. from the power of muscle, military, money, politics and position… to the only power that really matters.
Gods power exercised in the Spiritual spiritual realm… the power that you and I both walk around with right now. So let God out of the box!
Yesterday we talked about authority over power…
But today we marry the two.
What brings power - obedience, obedience to Gods written word and his spoken word. You do what he has written and you do what he tells you to do.
And what brings authority - intimacy. The more time you spend with him, the more you know him. He loves when we get intimate with him… and his authority becomes easier to step into because we realize we didn’t earn it, we learned it. Intimacy means we have become more like Jesus… we have learned him to the point of becoming like him.
James 4:8 draw near to God….
Never before in the history of the church has there been an easier way to hear about God through social media, youtube, podcasts, online sermons…
But intimacy is actually turning all of those things off and simply talking to him and reading his word and listening.

LK 10:18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
I have a question for you tonight if you had all the power in the world what would you do?
I would never sweat over history tests again
My brother would clean my room forever
I would have billions
I would make that woman fall in love with me
I would make my husband put the seat down… whoa, hold on sissy… Don’t flex that power to much.
I. Jesus did not push his authority
How did Jesus show his authority? Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be
1JN 3:21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
v. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Jesus compares the disciples power versus their place. Power is great… but its not all that.
What do you really think this means? Be happy that we have a place in heaven… So let me ask you a question, do you think thats what its all about? Just getting into heaven?
I honestly believe it is about what having our name in the book of life actually means.
Let me put it this way… if I said be glad your name is on the bank account for Elon Musk. Would you be happy that you can go to the bank? Or would you be happy that it means you know Elon Musk, and you have access to all that Elon Musk has in his account?
I strongly believe Jesus is saying don’t just rejoice in your power BUT rejoice that your name is in heaven and what that means to you, don’t just rejoice that you have power… but rejoice that you have all that I have for you - from right now here on earth, to the rapture, to the work in the kingdom of God in eternity. YOU GET IT ALL!
UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE BY HAVING YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE!
LIFE ETERNAL… YOU HAVE ALL THAT HE WANTS FOR YOU NOW AND IN ETERNITY… FOREVER EVER EVER EVER
III. Do you know your power?
On July 15, 1986, Roger Clemens, the sizzling righthander for the Boston Red Sox, started his first All-Star game. In the second inning, he came to bat, something he hadn't done in years because of the American League's designated hitter rule. He took a few uncertain practice swings and then looked out at his forbidding opponent, Dwight Gooden, who the previous year had won the Cy Young Award.
Gooden wound up and threw a white-hot fastball past Clemens. With an embarrassed smile on his face, Clemens stepped out of the box and asked catcher Gary Carter, "Is that what my pitches look like?"
Clemens quickly struck out, he went on to pitch three perfect innings and be named the game's most valuable player. From that day on, he later said, with a fresh reminder of how overpowering a good fastball is, he pitched with far greater boldness.
Sometimes we forget the Holy Spirit within us and how powerful our witness can be. The gospel has supernatural power - when we speak it in confidence.

Emergency: a sudden, urgent, usually unexpected occurrence or occasion requiring immediate action.
Crisis: A stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, especially for better or for worse, is determined; turning point.
A sequence… you see it and feel it coming! An emergency catches you off guard, but not a crisis!
What makes a crisis a crisis… you feel like you don’t have the power to change it, correct it, deal with it. And you feel like you don’t have anyone to turn to who can deal with it.
Total loss of control…
THEREFORE
Might I submit to all listening to this sermon that if that is what makes a crisis a crisis - we as followers of Christ are never in a crisis!
Part 3
Final thought: how do you see your own personal crisis?
Your health, job, finances, relationships, your failing entrepreneurial hustle, your goals, your dreams your desires… Maybe your crisis is just the blah or plainness of life, Maybe your crisis is just nothing ever taking off or making sense, Maybe your crisis is not knowing wether to go to college, what to take, or what job to go for!
Numbers 13: Moses said find out about the promise land
PROMISE LAND??? That is like calling it the promise spanking… the promise bootcamp!
But Moses says: find out if the land is good, if the people are big, small, easy to fight or warriors, if the cities are big, fortified? What is the soil like, what are the vegetables like, the fruit, the animals and the booty etc…
Moses was really asking go check out our crisis!
In 1959 the then president John F. Kennedy in a speech said…
The Chinese symbol for crisis is 2 symbols combined. The one symbol stands for danger and the other symbol stands for opportunity… and the masses have believed it for years…
WRONG -
THE FIRST SYMBOL DOES IN FACT MEAN DANGER…
but the second symbol does not in fact mean opportunity, but actually stands for crucial or critical point…
And I like that definition better… because that is exactly what a crisis is.
Crisis is a critical point of danger - make the right choice…
See the crisis with faith… Caleb and Elisha saw the promise land with faith… they did not see it as a crisis.
Funny that the other spies who only saw a crisis… their lives and their families lives ended in the desert.
Good idea to set the example to your family and your kids how to handle a crisis… handle it with faith…
**How do you see your crisis… How is your faith operating?

WHY A CRISIS?
*In a practical sense: because it was foretold. We knew a crisis was coming.
Luke 21:
8 And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. 9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
1 - GLORIFY!
- Crisis is ultimately to bring God glory.
2 - CLARITY
- It also helps us clarify what is most important…
WE have lived a pretty easy life in the USA. No matter who you are or what you may think… compared to the rest of the world we got it made. WE HAVE BOUGHT THE LIE THAT LIFE IS ABOUT BLESSING AND PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT.
if we are in the end times and I believe we are - my life more than ever is about bringing the gospel to those around me, every day.
Don’t be that person who talks Jesus, but does not share Jesus to those he is around.
Real quick: what is the gospel.
We are sinners - in need of a savior,
(we need a void filled)
We must confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord
We confess our sins
We give him control of our life
**Trust me, trust me trust me… someone, or some issue is going to push your buttons and you will become more concerned about that issue (even if its right, biblical, whatever) you will allow that issue to take up your time, mind, thoughts, energy… instead of the gospel of Jesus taking up that space during this time of crisis.
If we are standing outside looking up at an oncoming collision with a massive asteroid and I am upset at the guy who sold me a watch and that it is running late… Im missing the point. Time is important - but the sign of the times is more important.
Your power and your passion should be about the gospel during all times, but especially at a crisis.
TRUST ME: THERE ARE GOING TO BE MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS WHO ENTER INTO HEAVEN AND WITHIN A SPLIT SECOND REALIZE SOMEONE SOLD THEM SOMETHING OF LESSER VALUE TO BE FOCUSED ON…
WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GOSPEL
WARNING:
LOOK CRISIS CAN CREATE LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO FOCUS ON THE WRONG THINGS…YOU WILL ATTRACT PEOPLE WITH THE WRONG FOCUS…
Do you attract Crisis people or Glory people?
I do not attract people who are insecure, who are focused on issues, who lack personal power, politics, gossip… in a crisis I do not attract people who are into anything more than the gospel. Who do you attract?
Who would you like to attract and why don’t you?
WHY AM I BIG ON THIS…because we need to keep our eyes on the prize!
