• Mark 4:
• The keys to the Kingdom of Heaven are in earth.
• God has called us to take the invisible things and cancel out the things that are seen (“your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”)
• Matthew 13:10-23
• The difference between the church and the rest of the world is what we see. We see something that other people cannot see.
• Money will not help if thinking does not change.
• To whoever has, more will be given.
• All you have to bring to God’s table is a willingness to change and He will do the rest.
• Every war in your life is a fight over the word. The enemy comes immediately to steal the word.
• Something breaks when you’re all in.
• Any storm that you can sleep through, you have dominion over. If the storm has you up, it has you.
• If you’re sensitive and touchy, you will never make it.
• What are you doing for yourself? Stop worrying about the responsiveness of other people.
• Trouble comes for the WORD’S sake; quite taking it personal.
• Make sure you protect the thing that you hear from God.
• It’s going to get worse the closer you get to your destination.
• Give the enemy resistance with everything he throws at you.

• If you don’t know what you fell from, you don’t know what you’ve been redeemed to.
• The principles of this kingdom are different than the world, so you have to do things differently.
• What works in the world will not work in the kingdom.
• Everything that is seen came from the invisible realm; everything that is unseen is higher than what is seen.
• Mark 4:1-12
• God is not fair; He is just
• Reasons why God doesn’t make Himself plain/easily seen
• When you see God, you can’t help but worship, but He wants to be chosen
• Matthew 11:1-11; 25-27
• When you shift, your best last year becomes your worst this year.
• The way to always hear from God is to have a child-like heart posture.
• If you understood everything you wouldn’t need your mind renewed.
• Romans 8:16
• You don’t read the Bible, the Bible reads you. How you respond to it locates your heart.
• Children have to embrace directions without understanding.
• There has to be a choice. That is why you have distractions every time you try to pray.
• The pursuit purges you.
• (Women need to be fought for. They get their value from being fought for)
• Becoming “as a child” means that you tell God that you are trusting Him without question. It doesn’t mean that you throw away your mind.
• In the old testament you had to stay away from sin (didn’t touch leprosy), in the New Testament, Jesus touched those with leprosy and He changed them.
• PRAYER: God, give me a reality of my righteousness.
• Luke 4:16-22 (their spirit bore witness to what Jesus said, but then the sin of familiarity kicked in)
• The reason people resist light is that they do not want to change.
• When I find myself not hungry, I ask God to make me hungry.
• Even people who do not serve God know that something happens when you commit.
• Five Things That Will Come At You When You Try To Serve God:
• Persecution, affliction,
• Getting married makes it harder to stay on track, not easier.
• Just because you didn’t see it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been revealed
• Sometimes God will give you the package you need, other times He will tell you to grow up and take it in whatever container it is given.
• God expects you to grow up and tune into wisdom and the anointing, not the package.
• WATCH WHAT YOU LISTEN TO!
• God allows you to be His judge for you in your life. However you receive Him is how He can work in your life.
• It’s how you think that determines what you see.
• God never gives you anything finished. You have to learn how to grow things. If you don’t learn how to grow things, he will give it to someone else.

• Only that which is beyond your present understanding is positioned to renew your mind.
• God will put what you need in a container that you have an aversion to so that you can get over the container (if you need a special cup, you are a baby).
• You don’t choose your church, you discern it.
• If I’m mad at someone on the body, I’m mad at Jesus.
• Every denomination represents someplace God was and the people camped out there.
