Right now I am pumping the greens and Pre-workout and loving them both… Heres a secret “I’m on them right now as I do my podcast”.
He reprimanded me harshly and honestly and it cut me to the bone… but he did it in such a soft loving way, it broke me, humbled me and I loved him even more for his friendship.
How do we respond to sin?
2 Days ago an NFL player came out as being gay and there was a lot of chatter about it on social media… and Christians were not so kind.
Made me think about my response.
So I have a few gay and lesbian friends… they know I love them and they know I don’t agree with their lifestyle.
When I am asked from someone living in that lifestyle if I think it is a sin, I first clarify their question.
Are you asking me If I love you?
Are you asking me if I think you are a second class citizen?
Now, if you are asking me wether or not I think it is right… I then begin to explain to them that everyone lives their lives according to some rule, religion or mindset. I choose to live my life according to scripture… so scripture is clear that God has chosen a better way for you.
They often times want to debate me, hate me, berate me… I don’t fall for it. I just listen and love them. I do not get angry.
Look the truth is, we as humans do a lousy job of rating sin. Stealing is bad… unless you are rich and then if you steal it is really bad.
Lying is bad, unless it is a white lie then it’s ok, but if its a bad lie… well then its serious.
Murder is almost the worst
hurting or raping a child is probably top 1 sin… and of course Homosexuality is pretty bad as well….
This is nonsense.
Our sin separates us from God… that does not mean If I sin on a 1.0 level I am separated at a 1.0 level. It just simply means I am separated. PERIOD.
MY POINT… Whenever I tell someone about Jesus, or we disagree about sin, life, death, religion, sexuality etc… I make it my main point to love them.
I used to sit in a sauna every day and have conversations with a muslim man. VERY muslim, from another country… very anti america. We had many talks, I would pray for him and his family in the sauna. One day I saw him walking in the dead of winter and stopped to pick him up. His car had failed to start and he was walking home. He seemed baffled as to why I would pick him up. I told him I loved him and wanted to serve him. He was still baffled. Well a few years went by and we did not see each other for a long long time. One day I went in to a new gym to work out… it is a huge big box gym and that evening it was packed. I am at the desk buying a day pass and I see him making a B line straight to me… I am smiling, he is smiling, we greet each other and he begins immediately to tell everyone at the counter… this is a real man of God, he truly loves people, please treat him well… shocked me.
There was another guy at my gym (when I owned a gym) he was gay and we talked openly about our views. He would tease me and say that if I was gay he would go after me (of course to get a reaction out of me… I would tease him back) But one day he came up to me and said something along the line of this… You have me puzzled, I asked why, he said I know you don’t believe homosexuality is right, but I have never felt loved by someone or as accepted by someone as much as I do by you.
Look, as fare as I know my friend the muslim and my friend in the homosexual lifestyle are not yet living for God… but they have felt his love through me. Remember God said it is my his loving kindness that we are led to repentance… that kindness many times comes through us.

It’s one thing to know, it’s another thing to believe, and yet still it is another thing to actually live what you believe.
There is knowing, believing, acting on what you believe and then finally being what you believe. It is who you are, you cannot separate the two.
John G. Lake writes in his book…
Page.204 His life, his sermons, his boldness for faith
How many of us start out in our Christian faith wanting things from Christ -it’s natural. Then we want to be like Christ… but reality is that we should simply want to fully understand, recognize and embody his resurrection… not just resurrection power, but what the resurrection actually means to us as followers of Christ - it is the ultimate life alignment to all that God is.
Practically speaking… no matter how bad your life is, if you are a follower of Christ its not only all good, its all something you can use, glorify God in and have victory in.
When you see life through the resurrection… there is no doubt, there is no fear, there is no second guessing, there is nothing but excitement to see how God is going to use your life and circumstances to grow the kingdom and make Jesus famous.
How can anyone be a pessimist, a Debbie downer or have a bad attitude - I will tell you how- they do not have a full understanding of the resurrection and what that means to us as Christ followers!
Today may you wake up, smell the resurrection and may it fill your life with all that God is and has for you!

- Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)
7 possibilities.
Can I start with a quick comment: Most people do not believe nor operate in their God given authority due to 7 possibilities.
- 1 Fear of the supernatural - You must not be afraid of the Supernatural because we are called to live by faith (living in the invisible/ the supernatural)
- 2 Fear of peers / looking foolish - Woman at huge AG church. God gave me a word for her, I followed her out of the sanctuary… her family was weirded out.
- 3 Lack of results - Don’t give up.
Like the gym t shirt says:
crying is acceptable,
puking is acceptable,
bleeding is acceptable,
falling is acceptable,
pain is acceptable,
fear is acceptable
Giving up is not!
When have you ever tried anything and mastered it on the first try? Never!
Why should practicing the authority of God be any different!
- 4 Do not believe this is for today (Cessationists)
- 5 Lack of spiritual understanding
14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,
“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”
(1 Corinthians 2:14-16)
- 6 Desire for control - Sure fire disaster.
God will ask you to do some crazy things, speak some crazy things, go some crazy places… just go with it!
- 7 Confusion with the World - we don’t believe in psychics
Responsibility - Teach, preach, baptize, heal and make disciples = establish Gods kingdom.
Authority - We are under authority in order to have authority
Power - Given power from the authority
Walking in Authority - YOU NEED 2 THINGS
-1 LIFE FROM THE VINE
I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
(John 15:5)
This is the example Jesus used to illustrate the flow of God's power in the spiritual world. We are the branches that bear the fruit. Jesus is the vine. You do not produce the fruit, you just bear it (see John 15).
- 2 The power of the inherent word of God
The Greek word "exousia" means delegated power or authority under that which is adhered to by governing authorities and rule.
i.e. your power is given by written rule of the King!
CHRIST IN THE WILDERNESS TEMPTED BY SATAN
Spoke the word - used it as his authority!

I really want to give you a candy bar, I really want to give you a new house, I really want to give you a brand new 2021 Corvette… there is only one problem… and it is the same problem many of us have in life. I just don’t have it to give.
Acts 3
3 Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. 2 As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money.
4 Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. 6 But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”
There are 5 parts to this healing story…
1 - You can only give what you have.
2 - Prayer in the name of Jesus… your faith and expectation is in him. When someone I pray for does not get healed I leave it in Gods hands… but I also go back to point 1 - did I have it to give.
3- Action or testing
4 - Healing
5 - Opportunity to share the gospel.
Many people want the power of healing to look cool, or to prove their spirituality or even do a check engine light on their salvation. All supernatural acts of the spirit should be seen as an opportunity to share the gospel. You don’t have to preach a sermon like Peter did, but you should share the love of Christ!

Touch is the first of the senses to develop in the human infant, and it remains perhaps the most emotionally central throughout our lives.
Stunts: physical growth, emotional growth, social growth, healthy immunity,
Writing in 1928, John B. Watson, one of the originators of the behaviorist school of psychology, urged parents to maintain a physical boundary between themselves and their children: “Never hug and kiss them, never let them sit on your lap. If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning. Give them a pat on the head if they have made an extraordinarily good job on a difficult task.” Watson acknowledged that children must be bathed, clothed, and cared for, but he believed that excessive touching—that is, caressing—would create “mawkish” adults. An untouched child, he argued, “enters manhood so bulwarked with stable work and emotional habits that no adversity can quite overwhelm him.” Now we know that, to attain that result, he should have suggested the opposite: touch, as frequent and as caring as possible.
Did you know that just by rubbing your childs head and encouraging them verbally at the same time can cause an immediate spurt of brain growth, dendrites connecting, neurons connecting.
It lowers stress, anxiety and depression.
Luke 8:46 someone has touched me for power has gone out from me.
There is energy in me… good bad or static
Luke 6:19 The crowd sought to touch him for power would come out of him.
Do you realize that over 1/2 of the miracles that Jesus performed he touched them.
We don’t like to talk about touch and even more so we don’t like to touch in todays society because we are to afraid of being thought of as weird, creepy, we don’t want to get accused or sued for inappropriate touch etc…
Wow, satan has us just where he wants us. Here we see in total demonstration by Christ the power of touch and in todays world satan has coerced us and manipulated us to give up this part of our power.
Now I believe that we can pass on power and love and even Gods healing without people knowing by simply touching them. I believe we see it in scripture… maybe I take a stab at this in a more detailed podcast - but for now. Might I encourage you to start to understand the power you have in your own hand and through your own hands. Your touch not only can impact others physically, emotionally, mentally, socially… but also spiritually. I believe those who have daily intimate times with Jesus have an obligation to go out and appropriately touch others. Yes I touch men, woman, girls and boys appropriately. People, kids and even teens are starving for it.
This past week I was at a camp. I ended up sitting with some grade school girls… to cut to the chase one ended up asking me for a hug… well in seconds they all wanted hugs and from that point forward the rest of the week when they say me they wanted hugs. It did not go unnoticed by me nor did the power I was hoping to pass on to them. I wanted them to experience Jesus in each encounter.
Yes we need to have caution… but I would rather risk than miss an opportunity.
Angie and her Dad…
Well I guess until you step up and do your job, its’s up to me!

Pauls thorn in the flesh…
2 Cor. 12 the Apostle Paul speaks of his thorn in the flesh… for years this has been a verse where people state an opinion of “See God doesn’t heal everyone, not even the apostle Paul was healed”.
People think this is a sickness…
He writes in big bold letters and people say see…!!!
He in one of his letters says “I know you would pluck out your own eyes for me” and again People say see…!!!
He had ophthalmia - nonsense.
First off, do you ever write in your own handwriting or in text with capitol letters? Did anyone ever text you in caps and you thought… OMG they have an eye disease.
Has anyone ever said to you “I would give my arm to do such and such”… Do you think he must be thinking of those who who are amputees?
These statements have always been common in vernacular to emphasize emotions. Don’t take them for anything more than what they mean on paper. Also God says to Paul - after he asked 3 times to have it removed - that God answered him “my grace is sufficient for you”.
That to me means his request was taken care of by God. His request was answered. I am not sure, but I do know the word sufficient means “to be more strength than needed, to be possessed of unfailing strength”.
So what’s the point? All through scripture when we hear the term a thorn in the flesh it refers to people who get on our nerves. Study the life of Paul and you know it was the Pharisees and judaizers who made life a living hell for him. These people were against him from the beginning of his ministry to the end. But God gave him sufficient strength to overcome these people.
My goal here is to help you understand that in life right now while I speak there are about 15 different people groups that seemingly are making America a living hell. They are against everything, everybody and every cause that does not line up perfectly with their cause.
Gods grace has got this!
I think the dark world we live in and the spiritual forces would love for us to see this verse simply as a physical malady that Paul is going through - but the truth is, its about people. And we need Gods grace more than ever regarding people. People are not the problem, the forces of evil behind it are. And Gods grace is the answer… it is by Gods grace we are saved… it is by Gods stripes we are healed. This is not speaking of healing, it is speaking of seeing those lost people groups saved.

Why do bad things happen to good people…
If you have read the book of Job you probably have a gist of what its about… maybe. Job was a good dude, he loved God and served him faithfully. Then out of seemingly nowhere he gets slammed, his finances are gone, his family is gone, his health is gone and finally his wife says curse God and die and then she is gone.
How many bad things do you have going in your life? probably not as many as Job…
And what does Job do? he blames God… not so much blames him in an accusative tone, but rather a tone of “oh well if this is what God chooses, then so be it”.
HOLD THE PHONE… The book of Job is written 155 years before Moses. Job had no notion or understanding of satan, demons, spiritual warfare etc… so when we read Job 2:7 that says satan left Gods presence and struck job with disease and pain from head to foot. - Its understandable that Job blames God.
What is your excuse? Look you know the verse that satan comes to steal, kill and destroy… so why are you blaming God?
Remember Jesus comes to give life and life abundantly. Bad things happen to everyone - not just sinners, not just saints.
Matthew 5:45 so that you may [show yourselves to] be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on those who are evil and on those who are good, and makes the rain fall on the righteous [those who are morally upright] and the unrighteous [the unrepentant, those who oppose Him].
And bad things happen because we are stupid people. We do dumb things and make unwise choices and quick decisions. Sometimes we just simply make sinful choices due to our lusts, greed, impatience and pride.
What am I getting at?
simply this: whatever is good, it is from God. Whatever is bad it is from satan or yourself. So if you deal with satan and your bad choices… everything is good.
…ok, I can’t just cut satan out of the picture, but I can keep him from having his way. What is the saying, Martin Luther said, “You cannot keep birds from flying over your head but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair.” You can't keep the Devil from suggesting thoughts, but you can choose not to dwell or act on them.
Do you have weaknesses that satan can attack? Then deal with them, and at all times give thanks to God for all the good things in life. It is a great way to keep focus and build worship into your life… where you worship- God dwells!

The cool people are busy, hustling, grinding and slaving away… they are multi tasking while they hustle and grinding while they super set…
Its cool to be busy…
Me.. meh, I don’t want to be busy, I want to be productive.
Lets look at what Jesus did.
He taught
He ate
He hung with people
He prayed
He traveled
He ministered
Seems like an interesting job description… but yet he was effective. We don’t see Jesus really messing around and running after things that had no real value.
Now before I get into this - I am not saying if you play summer baseball or like to hunt or fish it is a waste of time. Its not how much time you use for other things but it is what fills that time… you might say what is the difference?
Well lets look back at Jesus. He did only a few things but he did them well. And in all that he did he was kingdom centered first. He goes to get water- he tells a woman about the Kingdom, he goes to eat with the disciples - he straightens out the Pharisees, He is on his way to Jerusalem and he prunes a fig tree… ok, he curses it but he is teaching in the middle of it, He goes sailing and he builds the faith of the disciples in and through a storm.
He was focused on the kingdom no matter what he was doing.
I recently read a blog by Ed Latimore… he tears into todays hipster generation about how they are all busy… But he calls it out as foolishness because they are not productive. He says you know the difference… but you do it so long you even fool yourself. You fall into the trap of thinking “wow, I am busy, I must be important and making a difference”.
So are you busy with kingdom work or are you productive with Kingdom work. Before you answer just ask yourself this one question…
Are lives being changed? Are people coming to know Christ in a deeper way?
What am I saying??? Are you getting results!
Now step 2
here is a clue as to how to be more productive in Kingdom work:
Use your spiritual gifts daily. (what are they? take a test to find out)
Develop your gifts daily/ weekly.
Only do things that use your gifting’s.
Cut out useless work and busyness unless it uses your gifts or talents for the kingdom.
Finally, are your results starting to gain supernatural exponential growth?
See when you start to use your gifting for the kingdom and really truly focus… the growth of your results goes from just a few to thousands.
When I started to learn to play guitar I loved it. I learned fast. I immediately started to teach other kids in order to multiply my worship team…
God saw my heart, took my passion, my gifting and hooked me up with Hal Leonard corporation to write, travel and teach… my results were supernatural… along with the money I made.
so lets recap
Busy vs. productive
Harder vs. Smarter
Frantic vs. focused
Naturally vs. supernaturally
Extra ordinary vs. Extraordinary
Perfectionism vs. Productivism
Grind vs. growth
Hustle vs. Fertile
As I get older I have learned to cut back, focus in, rest smarter and expect God to do the rest. It is amazing the results you get when you quit being busy!

Believe it or not people used to tell me my Father was fake… he was a pastor so this always came as a surprise to me… and of course he was my Dad. but they would say, no one is always that happy, joyful and confident… Now i saw my Dad 24/7 and I could attest that yes in fact he was all that and more… but what seemed to bewilder me is that they were mad that he was always happy…
Galatians 2
4 Even that question came up only because of some so-called believers there—false ones, really—who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations. 5 But we refused to give in to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the gospel message for you.
The Truth = authenticity
Religious people hate authenticity - they can’t be real with themselves and they hate the fact that you believe and trust fully on the gospel message.
What is that message? God saved you through Christ death on the cross. You can’t earn it, Your sins are forgiven past and present and future…
You simply walk in it and receive it… even when you blow it again and again… you don’t strive to work harder you simply accept the free gift of forgiveness and push forward.
V. 5 Preserve the truth? How many people want to add their own rules to the gospel?
You accept Christ… but then you have to
dress a certain way
Act a certain way
live a certain way
stay away from certain people
You have to try try try try
Hate comes from weakness, envy and fear.
Look it takes faith and courage to live your life according to scripture and not mix in any of your works or feelings into it. People will envy you for your courage to live the truths of scripture. It takes vulnerability, faith and risk… most people will never take that path.
And when they lack the courage they feel inadequate and in turn need to make excuses for their lack of courage. Hate is sometimes easier than excuses.
Remember first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they hate you and in time they secretly want to be like you.
Your presence in your in your walk with Christ and the true identity he has given you is like an alarm clock to many around you… its irritating, it reminds them they are not walking in the freedom that Christ has afforded them.
V. 5 5 But we refused to give in to them for a single moment.
Don’t give in
Keep accepting gods grace, his forgiveness, his mercy his kindness his love and his call on who you are supposed to be.

Free…
2 Corinthians 3:16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
