The 5 weeks was an overview of what it means to have Jesus - his life, message, and kingdom - planted in our lives and overflowing into others.
"In" you, me, the church, our homes, ...and then outward into the city and those around us.
It's a simple idea, but has profound implications!
(PODCAST HERE)
Here's 2 ways you can grow in this:
1. Allow the person and message of Jesus to get sowed deeply in your heart and life.
Keep praying Eph. 3:16-17, and continually invite God by his Spirit to root Jesus deeply in your heart.
(Scripture you can reflect on: "Seed" in the NT letters, Message Texts)
2. Actively sow the message of Jesus in others.
Acts 11 gives us a picture of a city being impacted by the spread of the gospel.
Matthew 13 shows us how people respond to the gospel so we're more prepared in our role of spreading it.
100% of the seeds planted will bear some fruit
100% of the seeds never planted will bear no fruit
PRAY for one friend - everyday - until December 31.
I've been reminded over this series that God is the one who grows the gospel in people's hearts. I'm excited to fulfill my role, partnering with his mission, but the inner work of revelation and transformation depends on God.
Write down at least one person's name that you hope would discover Jesus and follow him: __________________________.
Can you commit to praying for them daily for the next 3 months?
- Pray God draws them to himself.
- Pray Jesus reveals himself to them.
- Pray for genuine love and concern for them, for an authentic growing friendship (not only for their response to Jesus).
- Pray for their well being, health, and relationships.
- Pray that you will reflect Jesus.
- Pray for opportunities and then boldness when you can speak about Jesus.
- Pray for an openness to the gospel.
I'll commit to praying for my friends, but also for yours! (you can even email me their name)
We'll believe together that God will work in them.
We'll believe together that God will work in them.
I dream of people and neighborhoods - a whole city - that is widely effected by Jesus in revolutionary ways that only his life and message have the power to make happen!
It can happen

There was a very real perception that bi-racial was much worse for the white than it was for the person of color. The liberal culture, which was designed and promoted with the god's tools to achieve their Apocalyptic goals, screamed racism when there was a very reasonable explanation for this reality::::
In this white punishment known as the United States the person of color has already adopted the disfavors/temptations intended for another race. But by associating/mating with a person of color the white is newly adopting the disfavors of another culture.
And this is the reason why people of color are not welcome in the United States. The gods control everything:::The perception they want to create, the thoughts they want you to have.
People of color can't recover from absorbing the temptations from two cultures. And why they become more and more like so many blacks in America:::Veterans at absorbing the temptations of two cultures.
To further illustrate this is why California's educational system/funding was ranked #1 when California was white:::Education being the basis of the affluent economic system. Now even public higher education has become unaffordable.
Don't forget the lessons the 'ole white preacher taught:::Dancing is a sin.
The gods used the liberal tool to ridicule away so many taboos, paving the way for the decay of society and ultimately the End Times::::::
Black behavior was controlled by the KKK. Men's behavior was controlled by marriage for thousands of years.
When married by 15 men never gained the taste of promiscuity. Once the gods used the budding liberalism tool the men set the tone for the deteriorating enviornment centered around their gross disfavor.
Women's relinquishing control of pre-arranged marriage will be what costs mankind everything in The End. It's all their fault. Men are pigs, essentially just primally responsive disfavored beings who if given the freedom will abuse based on the impulses the god's push them into. Whereas under pre-arranged marriage this behavior was contained now the promiscuous fraternity house epitomizes the pinnicle of what a "real man" should be like. And sadly the women fall into line.
Ronald Reagan spent the communist block into submission with defense buildup, and in the process increased the National debt from $1 trillion in 1980 to $6 trillion when he left office.
W charged both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to the national debt, honest numbers to come.
The gods used W to initiate the "Great Recession" with deliberate legislation/regulation changes, allowing the sub-prime fiasco and corporate irresponsibility/criminal behavior which led to the multi-trillion dollar stimulous package, pocketted by Republican friends and donors::::$5 trillion charged to the National credit card.
This corruption is one element of evil in the party of good. War mongering is another.
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't::::With the Democrats you subscribe to social decay via liberlism, which WILL lead to the Apocalypse. Republicans are being used by the gods to bankrupt the United States, ultimately motivating people to the point of "desperation prayer" once anarchy presides::::Punishment designed to correct your behavior.
The gods behave monsterously in the course of managing Planet Earth but they demand people be good if you are to have a chance to ascend in a future life.
Not only is doing the right things important (praying, attoning for your sins, thinking the right way:::accepting humility, modesty, vulnerability), so is avoiding the wrong things important as well:::"Go and sin no more".
You NEED active parents who share wisdom to have a real chance to ascend into heaven in a future life, and you MUST be a good parent as well to have that opportunity. Once your children have been raised something changes, something has been decided about you. This is exactly that.
