"I love it when we negotiate with God. We always lose, but you know."- Ken Fish

Ken and Grant discuss many events that have transpired at IHOPKC (International House of Prayer-Kansas City). Many of the people involved have been guests on the GINAT podcast. Ken has also participated in mystery events with IHOP leaders from time to time. Although this is a complex subject layered with a long history, Ken feels impressed to speak about IHOP.

"We don't want to fail to acknowledge that victimization occurred at IHOP." -Ken Fish

"I concluded that Mike would never return to ministry." -Ken Fish 

"When the 'love bank' as they refer to in marriage counseling, or the trust reservoir goes dry, it takes a very long time to build it back up." - Ken Fish.

 "We have to be scrupulous about how we live, knowing that it isn't always easy and that temptation is real; if we aren't going to do that, I don't know how we are ever going to present any sort of witness to the World." -Ken Fish 

"God can heal, and people do not need to be ruined for life." -Ken Fish 

"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." -James1:19-20 (ESV)

"Fleeing is preferable to failing." -Ken Fish 

How should we think like a Christian and pray in these times? 

1.    Pray for healing for those who were victimized because God can heal! 

2.    We should pray for mercy for those who have made the mistakes. 

3.    We have to pray for our hearts to remain soft and guarded so we do not fall away from our faith. 

4.     If you find yourself in a situation of temptation - FLEE! Cut the lines and run. 

 [BH1]I just discovered that Ken’s book is outside the OM site registration/login portal!  Here’s a link direct to that page. 

Ken and Grant will talk with Winston Wu, a Christian light in the marketplace who works in financial services. Ken and Winston have been friends for around ten years. Winston started his relationship with Jesus at age 10, and he has a long legacy of believers on his mother's side. Winston followed Jesus for a couple of years after his salvation, and like many of us, he drifted. During the 2008 financial crisis, some new friends brought him back to Jesus. Winston left his job in finance to become an entrepreneur - all while honoring Jesus in the particularly cutthroat environment of Wall Street.

1.    I learned how to redefine success. 

2.    God's timeless, ecstatic presence surrounded me and taught me not to settle. 

3.    God affectionately danced over me in intense love. 

Were you told anything by anyone of the Trinity of what is to come? 

1. I went to heaven in 2012 and saw a coming anarchy. 

2. The Father wants to release His affection on the earth.

This week, Grant interviews Ken about his current ministry trip to Romania. The team's scheduled R&R was canceled due to the need for ministry time, and each prayer ministry session ranged from two to five hours long for the investment into the lives of others. Ken and Grant discuss the structure of an Orbis Ministries trip because rather than being mini-vacations, they are actual working trips, albeit with a bit of sightseeing thrown in.

"Effective prayer takes time" - Grant Pemberton.

BOOK SUGGESTION: Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman 

BOOK SUGGESTION: Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have." – attributed occasionally to Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and others

"I don't endorse the concept of self-deliverance. There are times of sovereign deliverance when the Spirit of God comes on people and sets them free of demons. This does happen but is not the norm." - Ken Fish. 

The biblical model for deliverance is Jesus or one of the disciples casting demons out of people. There is no place in the scriptures - not a single place where it says, 'Go cast demons out of yourself' or 'Teach others how to cast demons out of themselves.' " - Ken Fish

“The seven we listed are not exhaustive but foundational tents of reformation.” - Ken Fish 

“We need to move away from the pastor doing all the ministry to the church doing all the ministry." - Grant Pemberton

Constantine’s conversation is in 312 A.D., Christian emperors still promoted Ancient Roman Gods for another 75 to 100 years after his conversion. 

“Just people act justly. Righteous people live righteously.” - Ken Fish 

“If we are Christian people, we should not be able to be bought.” - Ken Fish 

“We need to bring the righteousness of God wherever we exist.” - Ken Fish 

Tenets of the Modern Reformation:
1. Heartfelt Spirituality-Salvation is by Faith alone.
2. The Bible is the Center of all Things
-The Bible governs our thinking, believing, and leadership.
-The Bible is a benchmark for what's in-bounds and out-of-bounds, not only doctrinally but also behaviorally.
-What does the Bible call for?
-What's normative in the Bible, and are we doing it?
-The Bible is over church tradition.
3. No More Financial Excess
-Removing ties to conflicts of interest.
-We can't demand anything from the Lord, but we can ask.
-People cannot be viewed as a means to an end, but we are to view people as made in the image of God.
-No more manipulation.
4. No More Sexual Excess
5. The Christianity We Articulate Needs to be Consistent with Historic Christianity
-Fight for our historic forms of Faith.
-How was the Faith practiced?
-Continue to lift up the supremacy of Scripture as we keep our eye on tradition.
6. The Priesthood of all Believers
-The Holy Spirit is distributed to each one.
-The gifts of the Holy Spirit are distributed to each one.
-Everyone can be involved in ministering or ministry.
-We need to get away from the idea that everything is pastor-centric.
-It is equipping the saints for the work of ministry.
-There is still order and roles to play within the church.
7. The Lack of Political Entanglements
-The church did not have much political power in the first 300 years of existence.
-In the first 300 years, the church participated in the political process, which is not the same as holding political power.
-We can't forcibly bring down the Kingdom of God.
-We absolutely do want Christians in politics, with the idea that they will lead righteously and justly.
-How we lead has to be consistent with the things of God.
-We can't legitimize immorality.
-Every time the church gets involved in politics, it becomes corrupt because it begins to side with its own self-interest rather than siding with God.
-We need to vote as Christians.
 "God wants His church back." - Lonnie Frisbee
