" Because you are special* to me, and I love you, I gladly give up other peoples in exchange for you; They are trivial by comparison to your weighty significance. " _Isaiah 43:4* (The Voice)

{ Hope & Life Conf 13: "That girl is poison, Pt. 2" - Carl Lentz }

  • Never get uncomfortable with honor - It is normal to encourage people you love
  • Whenever there is honor, the presence of God falls a powerful way
  • Be in a service where God feels welcomed
  • When God makes demands in your life, it is for a really good reason
  • Jesus does not do options, is it only one way
  • God demands worship so you can keep your eyes off yourself
  • You can't preach life on the pulpit if you are living dirty off of it (The house divided will fall)
  • You can't make it on your own
  • You will stop fighting, and you will start running towards what He wants
  • Numbers 6
  • God is the source - You should only go to Him
  • He is about the new thing - Life
  • Do not get caught with looking back, go forward
  • Do not cut your covering, leave church and do this on your own - This matters
  • He has already placed demands as you already said you want it and be a part of it 
  • Start listening to the little demands and it gets bigger, and so will the fruit of your life
  • When God speaks to you, you got to act on it 
  • You learn from failing and not hearing the demand
  • Often the demand on your life is even not about you
  • Sometimes you read something, and it is to change someones life
  • You should start seeing things in things that you always see
  • He has life changing demands He wants to give to you, and put you in position to change people's life
  • When ask God ask you to go something you do not understand, do it quickly do it anyway and the results can be life or death
  • Luke 9
  • 1. Poison of comfort 
  • You fall in love with the position, it will drain your passion from your purpose
  • People often mistake rest for comfort
  • A relationship with Jesus with no passion will never work right. It is lifeless and weak. 
  • Life without passion is like a Ferrari in your garage, but you lost the keys, or eating a krispy kreme that is sugerless. "It is alright but it is not supernaturally amazing."
  • A Christian without passion is actually disrespectful. And when you are passionate in private and you will overflow in your public life and you will be a soul-winner
  • We want our passion to overflow
  • Beware of habits and traditions and relationships that put you to sleep
  • It is not about being in church, because you should be in church
  • Sometimes you have to run after the things that makes you the most comfortable and insecure
  • God only shows up in the deep end when you are drowning, so we will know what the supernatural power of God is like. 
  • We are here to access the presence of God
  • Get to the point where you can be in church, without traditions but the state of your heart
  • He is the moments where you can't understand. Go try it, He will show up. It might be uncomfortable but it is right. 
  • This thing has never been about comfort, and it is about Jesus. 
  • If He tells you where you go, you got to go. 
  • The day of people living comfortable it is over.
  • He is in the deep end. Do not get sophisticated. 
  • We serve a come as you are God and we are a come as you are church.
  • 2. Position called finality (Even if you think you lost it, you still got it because Jesus is with you.)
  • Judges 16
  • We are a generation that forget and stop dreaming - And the standards of their life starts dropping
  • If Jesus is with you, and He is, it is never over
  • John 16 - Because I have overcome the world. No matter how many times you have fallen and cannot fulfill that dream it ain't over
  • He is still in the fight and it ain't never over 
  • You can take everything from somebody, but nobody can take Jesus from you
  • He is with you just as much as He is with me - There are special people in the kingdom of God, we all are.
  • You don't want to live in regret and look back when something you think is really over isn't over
  • Much is given, much is expected
  • It is not just okay to just exist, we need you in this fight
  • The old is gone, and the new is here - Do not buy the lie, it ain't never over
