This is a shoutout to one of my listeners who has asked a special request – I hear she goes by the street name Security Sue and she has asked a message of me that might speak to some things that she is seeing and hearing when chatting with this and that. I say this and that because sticks and stones may break my bones, but names she never gave me. Now I am in a position these days, for the moment, whereby I can take special requests as long as they line up with the heart of this ministry. You can text me or email me if you would like to hear about a specific subject or would like some clarification on a subject already taught. As I have taught already from Matt’s book let’s go there again shall we. 

 Matt 13:19“When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

 It is vitally important to know and understand what you are learning and apply it, least you get a visitor, who will carry out one of his purposes which is to keep you God stupid. Is this not, how we continue to break off, into this and that denomination or non-denominational, eventually to become a Laodicean church entity? Yes it is. Somehow, we get “just God stupid enough” to actually believe that, it is in the plan of God, to divide His bride, and to send her throughout all the land. 

 Oh, what a mistake we have made to think we entirely know the mind and will of God, so much so, that we believe we and we alone have our boney finger on the pulse of God. The methodist, Calvinist, denominationalists, independent-ists, Ima-not-havin-ists, ha…enough!

Life Coach This - Well that’s it for today. Ha no just kidding...

So I am like flooded with ideas as to where to take this but in and through all that mind hubbub there is the core of the topic staring right at me. 

So a bit of history:

Life coaching formally emerged during the 1980’s and grew in popularity throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Some of the earliest life coaches focused on life planning, but the field eventually grew to encompass other life areas including relationships, finances, careers, health, and overall well-being. 

Now before I go down this road which may invoke an alien response, I should but tell you right out the gate what I just saw. Ok so as I was typing this def out which I got from Jayshettycoaching.com, I saw the counterfeit gospel. Now wait for you Christian life coaches. A counterfeit gospel gives the appearance of the benefits of the true gospel, and but in addition to that it births a new argument into the minds of the unsuspecting which is that hey if this here life coach can help me to get the Jesus Gospel benefits then why should I consider this Jesus guy at all?

Oh, this is going to be a real shaker. Ha, I guess I should start by saying that the word given was never lost as it would have happened anyway as Revelation says so. Now but the book of Revelation does not provide such details as where or when the one, the earthquake of earthquakes will happen. And if hearing the word earthquakes didn’t shake you to quit listening to this podcast, then good on you, as one of the greatest tragedies that will befall humanity will be intentional blindness. Somehow, somewhere, someone perpetuated this idea that it is better not to know when your time may be drawing near. They say if it’s going to happen, I don’t want to know about it, or they will simply wish the information away into the future. So, like it may be the thought, that will not happen in my lifetime so why worry about it? Now I personally don’t advocate worrying about anything, but I do advocate paying attention to what is being said and had been said about well the end for example. 

Now I believe almost every generation of Christian since even before we kids of God were called Christians, thought that Jesus would return back to earth right away and that this would be wrapped up before things got out of control. Oh, but if we could see as God can see we would be overwhelmed to death at what has happened on this earth since it’s creation.

Ah what a morning to say hello to God who as done so infinitely more than all his kids combined for all of history, and He did it out of a pure love for you in hopes you would want that kind of love in your life. No matter what has you by the neck today, know that it is powerless against the very active love that god has for you. The devil is a faker and stripped of his power. He is like a terrified bully on a playground that knows not how to deal with his fear. I don’t pray it off unless it does not line up with Gods will for your life. If he is there round about your neck and has no permission by way of unrepentant sin or broken fellowship with the Father, then I rebuke him in the most powerful name to have ever existed in all of eternity and command that he flee from your life in Jesus name amen. Oh He is a most holy living and very tangible knowable God. Say hello to Him today and dare ask Him how you may serve and minister to Him today. it’s the least we can do while living on this rock. 

 So hey I want you to know that I am really encouraged to know that many of you have been about more than just filling your heads with information, but that you are also doing the Word. That is healing the sick, raising the dead, and setting the captives free by casting out demons. This is how we first serve the kingdom of God, how we allow God to continue to add to the church daily those who are being saved, in order that we make disciples that last, in order that even we are disciples, so that we can equip the saints for the work of ministry. Yup it is the bride making herself reading, and I appreciate your responding to this ministry with such zeal and a heart to know God at a deeper level and out of that knowledge to obey Him in all things. I will speak more upon these things at the end of this message as this really is a pivotal message if you can hear it and see it which will be evidenced in your doing it. 

 Heb 4:12 - For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

On the front end of this message, I want you to know that I am really encouraged to know that many of you have been about more than just filling your heads with information, but that you are also doing the Word. That is healing the sick, raising the dead, and setting the captives free by casting out demons. This is how we first serve the kingdom of God, how we allow God to continue to add to the church daily those who are being saved, in order that we make disciples that last, in order that even we are disciples, so that we can equip the saints for the work of ministry. Yup it is the bride making herself reading, and I appreciate your responding to this ministry with such zeal and a heart to know God at a deeper level and out of that knowledge to obey Him in all things.

 So, now wow this is an, “I gotta hear this message” title right? Let’s form the basis:

John 16:33 - These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Mark 13:19 - For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

So Mark references the beginning, as in since the beginning, but for a different reason other than the creation of all things by the Word of God, who is Jesus and is God. Yup he compared the destruction of the beginning, by the tribulation that will come which really signifies or supports rather that we are about to come full circle. Oh how we could do a message on circles as you see the roundness in so many things. But maybe later.

So what, does this vision come by way of a new set of fancy pants glasses Ken? Ha nopey dopey. But you will see that by the time we are through with this one that you will agree it makes sense to call it none another than 40/40 Vision.

Now I’ve got to excuse myself and read the book of John, and any associated scriptures that will shine a light on this reading chart. I will be back in a minute.

Ok so I am back and wait until you see, well hear, what I found in that great treasure book called the very breath of God. Well, ok so but it doesn’t actually say that, I more or less made that up. Let’s get going before I make some more stuff up.

I recently did a shorty titled “what do you want! Exclamation point not a question but a fist pounding hey what do you want. Now it was not at all meant to be the least bit condemning but to stir you to ask yourself, as no one else will and mean it, what do I want? What do I want from my relationship from God. Oh so I feel like going into that message again as it is the question for our generation. Wherever you are in life right now, right now be it school, living with mom and dad, college in some strange town, at a dead-end job, unemployed, homeless, lost in purpose and life, even for some I know you are at the end of your rope, and I know this because I etched my name in it several times myself. Tie a not in it and wait upon the Lord. I mean this figuratively. I don’t want to be driving down the road and see you hanging on to a rope telling the gawker’s, Ken told me to stay right here and tie a knot in this here rope. No

And on a more serious note, if you feel like putting that rope around your neck, you ought to think about where that will place you for all of eternity. Nothing is so bad on this planet as to make that mistake and have to live with the consequences of that decision for all of eternity. If you not sure I am being truthful with you, stop, pick up a bible, I am old fashion I like turning the paper pages, go somewhere quiet, of which I am sure you are probably already in that space, and read it for yourself. Don’t let a rope make the decision for you, don’t let drugs make the decision for you, don’t let a car or a gun make the decision for you, and by all means, do not under any circumstances allow the devil to make that decision for you. No, we humans don’t always understand what each other is going through, but I assure you we each have our stuff, but good on you because Jesus went through all of what you could possibly go through and oh so much more and yet I tell you that He did it for you so that you wouldn’t have to. So put the rope around His neck and get on with getting on. He has it and He has you. I do see you, I see you.

I had a listener who was listening to my message Self-Denial leveling up and mentioned wanting to hear God more. This message is dedicated to him and I know that it was God who prompted me to leave the other messages I was working on this morning and to prep this one for him. His desire and request was to have open spiritual ears and eyes. Well here it is my friend. 

So, you know me by now I try and just shoot straight. I heard this in fact when I was just setting up another message titled Broken Fellowship. It seems as though I cannot keep up with all the God has to say to us in these broken days. In these vacant days without His presence. I see people everywhere who are believers but not in the sense that there activity would prove this to anyone, and as they are walking along in life I see a vacancy sign posted in them. So what do you want? More of the same guessing if God is with you? Should it be that we Christians should concern ourselves with anything but His presence and fellowship? What do you want? Going from one day to the next wondering if you are saved today or if you ever were?

So this shorty message came to me as I was thinking about self-denial and what it is that I deny myself for, to, and from, for the benefit of myself or others. My answer may sound like yours but maybe not. In truth I do not have this area mastered yet. 

So, like I have a very structured life so as to leave room for this ministry, work, working the property, and reading. Everything else fits within this time-space continuum. Hey Ken, what about fishing or vacationing. Well, I usually tie my vacations, which are few, to ministry. And fishing is not done very often anymore. Right now, as far as I am concerned it is perfect. Now I say this having the expectation and hope that the ministry will grow and that I will have many 1-billion view messages. But even more important than that is that my relationship with God is perfect, strong, and active.

Now I should but start this one off with an apology, except that it’s high and heavenly time someone say something, as there will come a day when we will be in way over our heads; too deep for us to see a way out but by Gods help. Corrections should be made before you have to explain why? I will be doing a future message on What Is Christianity, in which we will explore how far off the mark we have gotten. For many, todays Christianity is very normal and in line with what they know about God. And therein lies the trap. If you compare today’s Christianity with bible Christianity, you can then see we have an ocean in between what was and what is. And whether it is fair or not in terms of whether we have solid Christian examples or not you know so we can emulate them, is kind of irrelevant. Because the Bible was given us to ensure consistency in how each and everyone of us can learn and apply what is in between its pages same as any other person. The same translator, the Holy Spirit, is available to us as much as he was back in any other time in history. If you let people talk or teach you out of biblical truth then that is on you, given you have the same Word living in you that wrote the Word. Now I understand that Christianity is not as clean nor as simple as this because of the many oppositions we have working against us, but I tell you by my witness, it is us that is most spiritually lazy that does more to impede our growth than anything. How many times has someone stated that’s not true, that’s not true, and when asked why, they say because my pastor stated so, or my denomination stated so, or whoever, but ask them to point to the where it says that it the Word, and they come up short. If there is anything I could say to you in this entire ministry, it is this. Don’t rely on anyone else for your spiritual growth but by the Holy Spirit. Yes, you can be taught, as I am doing that now, but you have got to develop your own personal relationship with the Word least you be led astray, and many, I say many have taken this route.
