Pastor Todd has started a 4 week series called "Get it Together: Reviving your Marriage". This series is unlike any marriage series that you have heard before. He takes us on a journey through scripture and also into Holy Spirit revelation about God's design for marriage. The most important issue in marriage today is that we don't understand the roles of husband and wife. 90% of the problems in marriage come down to one thing. The design is wrong. Once we understand how marriage was designed to work it becomes easier to have a successful marriage.

Today's message is part 1 in the series. Pastor Todd digs into Ephesians 5 verse by verse showing us how we may have misunderstood God's design. Husbands this is going to be uncomfortable at first until you grasp your role and purpose but it will transform your marriage into something that you love again.

Pastor Todd reminds us of the story of the Canaanite woman who came asking Him to heal her demon possessed daughter. She has likely tried many other things already. She is desperate for healing her daughter. She knows that as a non-Jew she doesn't have any right to come to Jesus.

She knew that there would be crumbs, leftover from the table of the people of God. Jesus recognized her faith through her desperation.

Have you ever been on your knees so desperate to beg Jesus for His help? Do we fail to consume all of what the "bread of life" offers us? Are there times when things are going so well in our lives that we do not cry out to God?

One of the most difficult things for Christians to do is to admit that they are mad at God. Yet every Christian encounters some of the challenges of life and wonder where God is in the midst of it. The pain and the hurt can make us question God's goodness. We can become angry and bitter against God. Pastor Todd, Pastor Massey and elder Kimo share these times have happened to them and how they dealt with them. Some people are mad at God and don't even realize it. Kimo encourages us to ask the Holy Spirit to do a heart check in us. He leads us to look into this.

Pastor Todd begins with the story of Daniel being cast into a den of hungry Lions after being falsely accused. We observe that the King did not want this to happen to Daniel but some accusers among his staff indicted Daniel for not following the law. We also see that the next morning nothing has happened to Daniel because of God's protection. Then the King throws the accusers in with the Lions. Pastor Todd points out a parallel in our time where we have an accuser in Satan. We have the idea that Satan, the father of lies, is trying to convince God of something terrible about us. We know that God could not be convinced like this and so we see that Satan wants to accuse us directly to undermine our faith in our own salvation and justification.

God is capable and able to do more and provide more than we are asking for. This is actually more that we can even think of or imagine. Eph 3:20. Our mental capability cannot even comprehend what He is able to do. Pastor Todd reveals many instances from scripture where God goes beyond what He is asked for. Then he points out that too many Christians live as though salvation is all we get in this life. Instead we need to realize that God has given so much more than we can ask or imagine.

Let's listen in to find out more.

Pastor Todd asks the questions, "What difference does it make that I am in the Kingdom of God?" and "What difference does it make in the Kingdom of God that I am a believer?". It can be very easy for us to make the Kingdom of God about rules. Do these things. Don't do those things. These can give the believer a reason not to depend on the Holy Spirit. This is religion. Surprisingly, people actually love rules even though many say that they don't. The truth is that rules will make you externally guided. A harder truth is that rules are for immature believers. Rules are necessary when understanding is not present.

Pastor Todd explains this.

Last month Pastor Todd spoke at the Truth to Power conference sponsored by Self-Evident Ministries at Revive church in Stuart, Florida. We have the honor to listen to this message that clarifies many questions about how God views government, what the church's relationship to government is and how the Christian should respond to government.

He reminds us that all authority on earth and in Heaven has been given to Jesus and all government is on His shoulders (Is 9:6). Pastor Todd teaches us that we need to understand scripture, especially Romans 13 from God's perspective. We are to be subject to authorities as they are ordained by God. That is the authority structure. That is not necessarily the same thing as individual people occupying positions of authority. He wants us to understand how to operate under authority and what that means. Tip: It may not mean what you think it does.

Where does our intellect fit into our experience of joy in the faith? Can we understand the Word without having the experience of joy in the Spirit? The intellectual person can read scripture, even about the experiences of people of faith, without actually having such experiences themselves. Faith is the conviction of things not seen. Intellectuals want to see things before they believe. Other people what to have an experience without understanding. This can lead to confusion. Pastor Todd leads us to understanding the need for both intellect and experience.

We all walk out our lives according to the pictures that we carry in our minds of how our lives should be. From childhood we have had these pictures imagining what our future lives will be like. Pastor Todd shows us how God does this with us also. He gives us pictures of what is possible in our lives. Pictures of His plans and purposes for us.
