10 – Perfect Order

19 – Faith

Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. Luke 10:19 NLT

Faith to Thrive\n

There is a great difference between self-preservation and overcoming. It\u2019s the difference between the wilderness and the Promised Land. A survivor is someone who suffers a terrible attack and lives to tell about it.\n

In the Kingdom of God, that\u2019s not good enough. An overcomer is someone who suffers a terrible attack, then rises up and defeats his attacker. Survivors are victims. Overcomers are victorious. Survivors have wounds. Overcomers have scars, like Jesus.\n

Survivors are peacekeepers \u2013 think United Nations Peacekeeping Forces \u2013 basically useless. Overcomers are peace makers \u2013 think the six-chambered pistol Samuel Colt forged that was used to bring justice and order to a lawless land.\n

You see, survivors go through the fire, then live life in constant reference to how they were burned. Overcomers go through the fire, and don\u2019t even have the smell of smoke on their clothes \u2013 think Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego walking with the Angel of God in the fiery furnace.\n

Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, \u201cBlessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king\u2019s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!\u201d \u2013 Daniel 3:28\n

Were they concerned about their own survival? If they were, they would have bowed down to the golden statue of Nebuchadnezzar. Instead, they refused to worship a false god. They honored the one true God by showing their evil king who the real boss was.\n

Yes, there is a big difference between survivors and overcomers. However, the biggest difference is in reward. In the Kingdom of God, survivors don\u2019t inherit the promises. Overcomers do.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Faith to Thrive

There is a great difference between self-preservation and overcoming. It’s the difference between the wilderness and the Promised Land. A survivor is someone who suffers a terrible attack and lives to tell about it.

In the Kingdom of God, that’s not good enough. An overcomer is someone who suffers a terrible attack, then rises up and defeats his attacker. Survivors are victims. Overcomers are victorious. Survivors have wounds. Overcomers have scars, like Jesus.

Survivors are peacekeepers – think United Nations Peacekeeping Forces – basically useless. Overcomers are peace makers – think the six-chambered pistol Samuel Colt forged that was used to bring justice and order to a lawless land.

You see, survivors go through the fire, then live life in constant reference to how they were burned. Overcomers go through the fire, and don’t even have the smell of smoke on their clothes – think Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego walking with the Angel of God in the fiery furnace.

Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!” – Daniel 3:28

Were they concerned about their own survival? If they were, they would have bowed down to the golden statue of Nebuchadnezzar. Instead, they refused to worship a false god. They honored the one true God by showing their evil king who the real boss was.

Yes, there is a big difference between survivors and overcomers. However, the biggest difference is in reward. In the Kingdom of God, survivors don’t inherit the promises. Overcomers do.

Jesus went to the cross and paid the price for all sin so I could live free and victorious. I was not saved to merely survive – I was saved to overcome everything and thrive. My life is abundantly filled with good things because He loves me.

10 – Perfect Order

18 – Life More Abundantly (+) The Bondage of Sin (-)

No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.” John 10:18 NLT

True Abundance\n

When I was a kid, I was a comic book freak. If the stories were stupid, there was always a great full-page ad to spark my imagination. Oh, how I wanted the sea monkeys, a hovercraft, and the little machines you could use to make counterfeit money. Charles Atlas wanted to beef me up to take on the bully with his 15-minute trainer. However, the one wonder I couldn\u2019t resist was the X-ray glasses.\n

These specs were advertised to help a young man full of testosterone see past all types of barriers. I wondered why everyone didn\u2019t have a pair, but quickly came to the conclusion it was because I was a visionary genius.\n

So, in 1979, I saved up a whopping $1.99 for my x-ray glasses and another $5 for shipping and handling. I also dedicated the next six weeks of my life to checking the mailbox each and every day to see if they\u2019d arrived.\n

After what seemed like an eternity, I got a very small package in the mail. Inside was a very lame pair of cardboard glasses. I was crushed. It was a scam. Who knew? I felt so cheated and stupid. It was my first taste of a dishonest world full of cheating schemes.\n

Thanks to the father of lies, our world is filled with scams, con artists, and just plain lies. Where do I run where I know I\u2019ll never get ripped off or disappointed? Jesus.\n

You see, the proof of authenticity is not just in the book, it\u2019s in the lives of all of us \u2013 believers who love the Lord and serve His people. We see miracles, live beyond what is reasonable, and shoot for limitless possibilities. We love beyond our capacity and live beyond our means. We choose to be battleships instead of cruise ships. What\u2019s real is the hope of Christ in us. What about you? Do you have this hope? If not, let the truth set you free.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus is faithful in my life. I spend time in His presence so His Spirit leads me into all truth. The things of the world that are not of Him have no hold on me. My life is filled with wonder as He unfolds His plan for me.

17 – Overcoming Victory

When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” Luke 10:17 NLT

Force for Overcoming\n

The power of upgrade moves you from the cheap seats to box seats in a given area of your life. This is in direct proportion to your willingness to move forward. The key to upgrade is when God grants you a breakthrough, you must be prepared to go to the next level again and again and again without stopping. The Kingdom is not for people who fear change and pine for the good old days. The Kingdom of God is transformational, and so are the people who go through it with momentum.\n

\u201cAnd from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.\u201d Matthew 11:12\n

If you\u2019re not sure what Jesus was saying in this text, maybe this newer translation will help you sink your teeth into it: \u201cFrom the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.\u201d Matthew 11:12\n

Be forceful! Go after that thing you want for the Kingdom.\n

Do you want to start a new ministry? Take that first step. Are you hoping to adopt a child or start an orphanage? Go for it! Are you looking to start a new business venture to make money to give to missions? Jump right in! Have a heart for the homeless? Follow that vision! BE INTENTIONAL!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

I am an intentional follower of Jesus who is forcefully taking new territory for His Kingdom. I am not a wimp who shrinks back. When He prompts my heart, I go to work on what He tells me He wants me to do. Life is exciting in the Kingdom!

16 – The Love of God

“This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.” Hebrews 10:16 NLT

Love Brings True Justice\n

If you\u2019re talking to snakes, I have this advice for you. Stop it! Why? Because the voices in your head telling you to say this, do that, or turning you paranoid against people who love you, are the voice of the enemy himself.\n

You know what I\u2019m talking about. When you relive past hurts by practicing a conversation you really shouldn\u2019t have. Why am I telling you not to get some of your own back \u2013 a little revenge to get even for wrongs committed against you?\n

Because they don\u2019t belong to you! They belong to God. Your Father is in charge of handling the people and situations that lay you low, not you. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. He will battle for you.\n

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God\u2019s wrath, for it is written: \u201cIt is mine to avenge; I will repay,\u201d says the Lord. \u2013 Romans 12:19\n

You see, the Father is uniquely equipped to bring the weapon of redemption onto the battlefield. When redemption is applied to the situation, revenge becomes justice! Isn\u2019t that awesome? Justice is when the poor have opportunity and the widow has security. Justice is when the orphan has a name.\n

The Bible tells us the devil is a liar and a thief. He loves to steal your job, security, relationships, opportunities, reputation, and your territory for the Lord. If he can take your ministry, your friends, or your family, he\u2019s got you on the ropes.\n

Cry out to your Father, the righteous judge, for justice. He can return what the thief stole and bring truth where lies once ruled the day. Let Him fight for you because the reward is justice: restoration \u2013 getting back what was taken \u2013 and restitution \u2013 getting compensation above and beyond the offense!\n

Call on a just God today and keep calling until He renders judgment in your favor.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” Romans 10:15 NLT 

Warrior Walk\n

For my dad\u2019s 66th birthday, I took him on a 500-mile tour of historic Texas battlefields. We went to the old Coleman house, where Elizabeth Coleman and her oldest son were killed by 300 raiding Comanches. We saw the battle site at Brushy Creek, walked the hallowed ground of the Alamo, and breathed in the sweet smell of freedom at San Jacinto. Washington on the Brazos and San Fillip also made the list.\n

I dubbed our tour \u201cThe Way of the Warrior.\u201d You see, my love of battlefields isn\u2019t just from my Brewer blood. It\u2019s also from the bloodline of Jesus. Jesus is a king. But make no mistake \u2013 He is a warrior king!\n

\u201c\u2026But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars\u2014they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.\u201d\u00a0 Revelation 21:8\n

– We are not spectators. We are warriors. We don\u2019t listen to stories of God\u2019s power. We tell them.\n

– Comfort kills! Jesus says He\u2019s sending us out as lambs among wolves, not potatoes upon couches. We are not on vacation, and life is not a perpetual spa experience.\n

– We are called to be peace-makers, not peace-keepers. UN peacekeeping forces have stood by and watched the slaughter of millions. I would rather be a Texas Ranger. The Rangers used pistols called peace makers \u2013 they didn\u2019t make deals with monsters or negotiate with the enemy. They put the enemy down!\n

We do not have to be defeated by a defeated devil. We can discourage him by our faith, demoralize him with our joy, and depress him with our endurance. What you might not realize is that there is more victory attached to you than you can even imagine. Pull on your boots and take a step on the warrior way!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

10 – Perfect Order

14 – Generational Promises & The Fear of the Lord

When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. Mark 10:14 NLT 

Wholehearted Seeking\n

Do you have promises you hold on to when the devil bombards you with lies about your life? If you don\u2019t, I encourage you to make a list of promises He has given you.\n

The next time you believe things will never get better, ask yourself, \u201cWho told me that?\u201d It wasn\u2019t Jesus! There is always hope in Jesus and the book of Hebrews says He is the God of better things. Jeremiah agrees. \u201cFor I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the\u202fLord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.\u201d \u2013 Jeremiah 29:11\n

This is one of the most beloved promises of God, but there are conditions. Keep reading through verse 14.\n

\u201cThen you will\u202fcall upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will\u202flisten to you. \u202fAnd\u202fyou will seek Me and find\u202fMe,\u202fwhen you search for Me\u202fwith all your heart.\u202fI will be found by you, says the\u202fLord, and I will bring you back from your captivity;\u202fI will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the\u202fLord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.\u201d – Jeremiah 29:12-14\n

You have a responsibility to seek Him, pray, and come to Him. God wants to lead you out of the captivity of thinking \u201cthings will never get better.\u201d You have to let Him!\n

If you are following Jesus, He is leading you into better places \u2013 green pastures and still waters. But don\u2019t discount the \u201cvalley of the shadow of death,\u201d which everyone passes through. It is here you fear no evil because He is with you! You see, better does not mean easy. Better things are always harder.\n

While you battle the mindset that \u201cthings will never get better\u201d deploy the weapon of truth: God\u2019s promises for your life and the confident expectation that sustains you.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Wholehearted Seeking

It is here you fear no evil because He is with you! You see, better does not mean easy. Better things are always harder.

While you battle the mindset that “things will never get better” deploy the weapon of truth: God’s promises for your life and the confident expectation that sustains you.

I follow Jesus and make sure nothing in my heart will stop me from being closer to Him. I seek Him with my whole heart so I can live free from the bondage of past pain and sin. Things just keep getting better!

Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the

requirements of God’s law. Romans 13:10 NLT 

His Good is Great\n

Let\u2019s get this out in the open \u2013 I don\u2019t want your house. I don\u2019t want your woman, your anointing, your ministry, your connections or your relationships. I don\u2019t want your success, your job or your money. What do I want? I want what no man can give me. I want what God has for me.\n

\u201cFor I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the\u202fLord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.\u201d \u2013 Jeremiah 29:11\n

Do you want what God has for you, or are you still hung up on what others have? If you are not convinced that what God has for you is the best, let me invade your soul with God\u2019s promise for your life. Stay with me here!\n

Did you know that Israel and horses don\u2019t mix? In its 3,000-year history, Israel has never had a cavalry. It never had horses in its army except for a brief time when one of the kings aligned himself with an ungodly nation.\n

It didn\u2019t go well. So, why doesn\u2019t God allow Israel to have horses? Because Israel was not to be a conquering nation in conquest of other nations.\n

In other words, God didn\u2019t want them looking at Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, or Egypt and saying, \u201cI want what they have. Their stuff is nicer than mine!\u201d Their job was to conquer and occupy the land God had given them. Believe me, it was a full-time job!\n

This is God\u2019s plan for your life: Your job is to occupy the territory He has given you. This includes your family, your job, your circle of friends, your ministries, church and even your thought life. You are supposed to conquer this territory for HIM and His glory. Just as it is for Israel, it is a full-time job and one only you can accomplish! It\u2019s time to cure the pattern of, \u201cIt\u2019s not fair!

For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. Hebrews 12:10 NLT

Perfect Conforming\n

Forfeiting your upgrade because you refuse to conform your life to match God\u2019s will is a huge mistake, and one that many of us make without ever realizing it. Look at King Saul. He disobeyed a clear and direct order from God so he could do things his way. It cost him everything!\n

Know this: Forward is not in the confines of what we are used to. Forward needs to be learned, pursued, and conformed to.\u00a0 Moving forward after kingdom upgrade requires you to work with teams when you\u2019re naturally a lone wolf individualist. It requires you to go through some things alone when you wish you could party with your friends.\n

Better will require you to lay down what you think is a big deal and prioritize what you haven\u2019t really cared about before. You may have to lay down something you\u2019ve always considered precious \u2013 relationships, mindsets, and habits which are holding you back from fully following Jesus. You know what they are, so write them down.\n

If you are going to move forward and advance into upgrade, God says you have to be \u201cthat guy.\u201d In fact, He says you already are that guy! You just have to chisel away the parts that don\u2019t look like Him!\n

Take that list and lay down the things keeping you from reaching your purpose. When you do, it\u2019s called wisdom. It\u2019s what Saul rejected and Solomon asked for. Wisdom is a huge part of your ongoing move into better, so be wise. Get rid of the foolish things in your life.\n

\u201cThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.\u201d Proverbs 1:7","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

Being closer to the Lord is the most important thing in my life. I can move forward, be better, have greater abundance and peace only when I follow the ways of Jesus. Laying down everything that tries to pull me away empowers me to live fully in the Kingdom so my life looks more like Heaven than it does like hell.

Rise Above the Evil\n

My life as a pastor has taken me to some amazing places. I\u2019ve cried out to Jesus at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, seen Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, the Amazon and, yes, Graceland!\u00a0 But a major player on my geographic bucket list was Mount St. Helens in Washington State. The wonder of my childhood, it\u2019s most notorious for its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980.\n

I was 13 years old, and it was a game-changer for me. That was the year I really started reading because I couldn\u2019t get enough information about what had happened, especially the landslide, the largest in recorded history, where a mountain moved 17 miles and took 57 people with it. Yes, I was attracted to the devastation and the death toll.\n

Our flesh is naturally attracted to \u201cbad\u201d and is fascinated by evil. There is something about us that is impressed with it. I\u2019m no psychologist, but I suspect it has something to do with our survival instincts and how we want to understand the things we fear.\n

Whatever it is, it causes traffic in the northbound lane to slow down when there\u2019s a wreck in the southbound lane. It causes ratings to skyrocket during disasters and scandals, and the tabloid racks to empty when a celebrity gets divorced or when a grandfather decides to become a female sex object.\n

What\u2019s more amazing is when we can\u2019t get enough impressive bad things to look at, we invent new forms of evil to entertain us. We throw in a little sensuality and turn these monsters into romantic attractions. Face it – we love bad, and that\u2019s not a good thing.\n

\u201cAnd do not be conformed to this world\u2026 Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.\u201d Romans 12:2,9\n

It\u2019s important to learn to no longer love what the world loves. Hold tight to goodness instead of evil. Knowing Jesus and following Him is simply this: love what God loves and hate what He hates.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

10 – Perfect Order

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

John 10:10 NLT

Perfect New Order\n

I love food, but would I want to eat the same thing every day for 40 years? Not really. For 40 years, the children of Israel didn\u2019t eat anything but manna and quail. They all got tired of it. They grumbled, but they ate. For 40 years. Yikes!\u00a0 It took them a long time to learn to trust God. Once they understood, the first thing they did when they got to the Promised Land, was to raid someone\u2019s garden.\n

\u201cAnd the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the Israelites no longer had manna\u2026.\u201d Joshua 5:12\n

The manna ceased. Can you imagine that for 40 years, there was a certain way something worked? For 40 years, you had something to count on \u2013 it was there every time? I wonder what they thought when they woke up and there was no manna on the ground.\u00a0 Maybe they thought it would come back tomorrow, but it didn\u2019t. God just said, \u201cSwitch!\u201d He\u2019ll do that with you, you know. If you\u2019re going to leave the old thing, God says, \u201cBehold, I do a new thing. Can you wrap your head around it?\u201d\n

With every new upgrade comes a whole new way of relating to God, of experiencing Him \u2013 of Him providing for you, and speaking to you. Are you going to rely on your methods or are you going to rely on Jesus? If you rely on your methods, you\u2019ll go back to the wilderness to relearn that lesson. I don\u2019t want a trap door to fall out from under me! I don\u2019t want to fall back into the wilderness. If that\u2019s you, get with the program! God will change your thinking, job, friends, church, and even the place you live to get you on the same page as Him. Embrace the big switch! It\u2019s your gateway to the Promised Land.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

“And the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the Israelites no longer had manna….” Joshua 5:12

The manna ceased. Can you imagine that for 40 years, there was a certain way something worked? For 40 years, you had something to count on – it was there every time? I wonder what they thought when they woke up and there was no manna on the ground.  Maybe they thought it would come back tomorrow, but it didn’t. God just said, “Switch!” He’ll do that with you, you know. If you’re going to leave the old thing, God says, “Behold, I do a new thing. Can you wrap your head around it?”

With every new upgrade comes a whole new way of relating to God, of experiencing Him – of Him providing for you, and speaking to you. Are you going to rely on your methods or are you going to rely on Jesus? If you rely on your methods, you’ll go back to the wilderness to relearn that lesson. I don’t want a trap door to fall out from under me! I don’t want to fall back into the wilderness. If that’s you, get with the program! God will change your thinking, job, friends, church, and even the place you live to get you on the same page as Him. Embrace the big switch! It’s your gateway to the Promised Land.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

I love that my God is a creator and that He brings new, wonderful situations and ways of doing things into my life. I never worry about having what I need because He has always been faithful. I stay open to different ways so I don’t miss a thing He has for me.
