1. Fellowship is the very life of God. It is the eternal nature and infinite being of God. His nature is fellowship. He is a God of loving, joyful, spontaneous, delighted communion. It is through fellowship that we know Him.

2. Get obsessed with one thing in scripture. Know it. Think about it. Talk about it with your friends. Pray it. Sing it. When you’re bored, pull it up in your mind and turn it over and over, examining it. Apply it when it’s challenging. Return to it in scripture again to read it. Write about it. Do that one thing really well in every day life. This what Biblical meditation on Scripture is. This is what true Biblical knowledge is. This is the beginning of delighting in the Lord and knowing him. This is abiding

Luke 8:4-15

How to Develop Good Soil in Your Soul:

1- Good soil revolves around four movements: hearing, holding, obeying, and persevering. If I'm honest with myself how well do I do these four things?

2- Thankfulness is the weed killer in the garden of your life. We tend to not want to bless those who are ungrateful, and how you know if you're ungrateful is if you focus more on what you don't have than what you do have. Remove the weeds of discontentment, superficiality, and never having enough. The grass is not greener somewhere else, it's greener where you water, and take ownership of anything that has stolen the nutrients necessary for it to grow and thrive.

3- You must take ownership of the condition of the soil of your soul before you can ever produce fruit from the seed of God in your life. Don't be mad the seed isn't producing, practice awareness of asking yourself if there if there is something in the soil of my humanity that's not allowing the seeds of God to grow and into mature fruit. Growing weeds is easy, growing fruit is hard.

How to step out of hiding and walk in the gift of repentance:

1. Bring Yourself — Trust is revealed by your willingness to come to Him. Maturity does not mean you will need Him less and less, because if you could’ve sanctified yourself, He wouldn’t have needed to sacrifice His son. It’s a gift to need Him.

2. Be Seen — Face the “risk” and give Him access to your deepest thoughts, doubts, feelings, desires, temptations AND sins. The deeper that’s revealed, the greater He can heal.

3. Be Known — As He shows you who He is, let Him remind you who you are.

4. Be Loved — Let Him draw you into deeper relationship.

5. Yield Fruit — Watch your depth of relationship yield the fruit of His Spirit and change the desires of your heart. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness—His very power being made perfect in You.

3. Rooted, Centered and Strong are always connected to my Rhythm’s, Routines and Relationships.

4. Everyone has a bad day. I must learn to fall on my KNEES and not my BUTT.

Reminders of What It Means to Build His House

1- When I build His house, He builds my house.

2- When His house endures, my house endures.

3- When His house is strengthened by my hands, my house is strengthened by His hands.

4- When His house is the subject of my faithful generosity, my limited supply is placed into the hands of the one who has unlimited supply.

5- Holy is when people, place, an city merge into one. A holy people, building a holy temple to God, that would redefine existence into a holy city of God. A tent that becomes a temple, a temple that changes a city, an enduring house of God.

Matthew 15;35-37

The Process of Restoring the Poison of Greed in the Pot of Our Lives:

1- There is a taking of what is in our hands and a placing of it through direct/repeated action into God's hands.

2- There is an internal shift toward gratefulness and thankful contentment that produces a joy around our practice of generosity.

3- There is a breaking of the view of what it means to have and possess items of this world that leads to a heart that he multiplies from and through.

Ephesians (5:1-21)

How to Confront Limitations in Your Pursuit of Imitation:

1- If your imitation of Jesus is not making you into a fragrant aroma of sacrifice for those around you, you're gonna smell funky. You cannot claim the name of Jesus and contradict what he lived, and died for. Sacrifice is the aroma of righteousness and sanctification, and we become the aroma of heaven when we imitate the one who brought heaven to earth. We need less axe body spray and more Sauvage by Dior.

2- You exchange the inheritance Jesus purchased for you every time you imitate the fallen mans pursuit of immorality, impurity, covetousness, and idolatry. The pursuit of the aroma of life in God comes from imitating Him in the fullness of all the Bible says, and the Spirit leads. When we choose to partake in a life of fallen living we sacrifice the inheritance we have in our risen Savior. Wherever there is distance there will always be longing.

3- The truth about light is that it is for both discovering and uncovering. We think it is only about the discovery of God, but it is equal parts about uncovering the parts of me that are not in line with God, and His will for my life. Imitation is the goal, but your flesh and character limitation and deficiency is where the starting line is. Salvation is unto sanctification and transformation. But we must confront the old before we can ever walk in the new.

Mark 2:1-12

How to Be a Person That Won't Allow Those Around You to Stay the Same:

1 - The Bible says the friends climbed, removed, dug, and let the friend down. There is effort and uncomfortability in the process of seeing a miracle come to pass. If you're not willing to climb over any obstacle, dig out any barrier, and remove any hindrance... your effectancy will be limited, The hard work is often the heart work, and the costs we are willing to pay often deteremine the levels we are able to climb.

2 - Are you a "seeing their faith" person??? Jesus' response was based on the disposition and devotion of the friends who knew what their brother needed... who then made a conscious choice that they would not allow themselves to quit until they exhausted every possible avenue for him to be healed. People who get close to you should not be allowed to remain the same just by your mere presence around them. You're either gas or water, and your habits, disciplines, and rhythmic walking with God are what determines that.

3 - Your souls formation is foundationally connected to miracles taking place... it is the closeness and fullness that we walk in that gives us the strength to remove the obstacles, and carry others to the feet of Jesus. The spirit must be in us, for others to get close through us. My life is an overflow of my time and attention. If he has both those characteristics of my personhood, a byproduct is a person who tears off roofs, and lowers people to the feet of the One that we gaze upon, and rhythmically follow... beholding is becoming and proximity develops potency.
