Hebrews 10:19-Therefore brothers and sisters, since we have condence to enter the
Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus.
of 6 27
Guys, I wouldnt trade the love I have for my wife now and for God now for my first
love for a hundred honeymoons.
Get rid of religious crap that says you grow away from people you love. that is not
true!
What terminology is so confusing? -draw near to God. -God came. -
Can you get holier than the blood of Jesus makes you? Then why are you trying so
hard? You are as holy as you are ever going to get.
Ephesians 2:14-16 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one
and has destroyed the barrier, the diving wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh
the law with its commands and regulations. his purpose was to create in himself one
new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both
of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
I am a new creation. I am not getting gradually saved. I got saved in one hit. No
other religion is an immediate death, bury sin, an immediate renewal, and an
immediate walk into new life. This is not like any other religion in history. We dont
try harder, learn more, grasp more to get closer to Jesus.
No one needs to scratch their head over this thing. God saw to it that this was noble,
understandable, and transferable. The image of God is relationships because God is
father, son, and holy spirit.
Satan is trying to bring bad relationships and rule over that, and God, Christianity is
bringing good relationships with God and each other.
How do you maintain good relationships? Repent quickly and continuously and
always exercise faith. Always exercise faith in Gods love for you that keeps
your relationship with God tight. Faith is a choice. (Job-even if he kills me, I will
still trust him. I know my redeemer lives and wont leave me in this condition. He
always exercised faith).
Ephesians 4:26-27 In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you
are still angry and do not give the devil a foothold. (tell me a people group, age
group, nation, ethnicity that doesnt understand the sun going down-God is good
and has made this accessible to all).
Sundown is only hours from wherever you are. So repent quickly. Repent
continuously.
Dont let the sun go down on your anger, lust, whatever. Always exercise faith in
Gods love for you that keeps your relationship with God tight.
You can keep that relationship with God tight and strong TODAY. You have to have
faith in your relationship with God. When do you do mess up, get rid of it quickly!
Deal with sin the same way. Always say I know you love me. I know you accept me.
You dont have to spend two minutes of your life in loose relationship with God.
Do not get stuck in a religious spirit. A religious spirit is doing things because thats
how weve done it, or because we have to.

listen to God.
Kill your religiousness (Phil 3)
God is totally holy and he is also totally relaxed.
Please get God out of heaven, sitting on a chair. Get rid of that. His throne is
speaking about his authority. The throne room is just a euphemism for his presence.
God has never been sitting on a chair in a room. Why is this view not ok? It makes
him less accessible. It makes him something we have to go through loops and liturgy
to connect with. God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden. He walked and
talked with him,
God goes on walkabout. God does not live at the church. He lives inside you, and he
walks with you.
God hates sin because its death, not because he cant handle it.
Where was God the day after Adam and Eve sinned? He was walking in the garden.
Adam was not seeking God, God was seeking Adam, Adam was hiding.
God has always taken the initiative to relate to us. It is not the truth that God
will not let you nd him unless you get desperate? What kind of a Father is
that? What kind of father makes you get desperate? God has always taken the
initiative.
Adam withdrew, God did not withdraw. He went looking for the sinner who screwed
up his entire plan. He had to be greatly disappointed but he looked for them.
When they left the garden, God went with them.
The first murderer was Cain. We have said God wont speak if you are in sin. What
was the first conviction of sin? God speaking. After Cain killed Able, God spoke to
him.
Do not twist the character of God when you teach people.
God walked and talked with a guy called Enoch. He walked and talked with a fallen
human called Enoch so consistently that he didnt die. The wages of sin is death
and Enoch didnt die.
God walked and talked with Job. How did Job know God so well? I know my
redeemer lives.
God walked with Noah and told him about something that had never happened
before-rain. He told him how to build a boat and how to get the animals. Noah never
went to church. Noah never went to a worship meeting that you think you have to go
to into to find God. Noah never heard a sermon.
How did Noah know God so well? God came to him. God revealed himself to him.
GOD COMES TO YOU. HE LOVES TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
He revealed himself to Abraham in a hideously witchcraft and sin filled culture.
God has always had a street address. He lived in a temple in the holy of holies. He
was not in the sky-he was in a human town on a particular street.
of 19 27
Then, at a particular time, God become one of us. Emmanual means God is us, one
of us.
Ive been chosen, in christ, before the foundation of the world. It was always the plan
that you would be in christ, whether jew, greek, male, female. You are chosen in
Christ.
I will not leave you alone. Humans have never been alone. God has always been
with us.
Jesus Christ always lived in community. He travelled with 70 people. They lived
together, ate, told jokes, prayed, travelled-God lived in a human community. He ate
with sinners. This god loves to hang out with humans.
Where do you picture God to be right now? If we were worshipping in here, you
would think God is in here. But now that the lectures have started, you might think
that he left and will return when the worship starts again. You would be wrong.
God hangs out with humans. Thats his preferred place.
All he does in worship is manifest his presence so that we can feel it because he loves
us. He does it so that when were out there and not feeling it, we still know hes there.
Then Jesus said I will not leave you alone. He has never withdrawn since the day he
made Adam.
A lot of people think the HS wont come unless you do the right thing. Why did the
HS come? Because the Jewish feast of Pentecost came. Nothing to do with what the
humans did. The HS came because God had decided to send it. And he decided to
send it on the Pentecost. Most of the early Christians were Jews and God wanted
everyone to know that this that is happening is the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
because he is doing everything according to the Jewish calendar.
You dont have to wait for the spirit to come. No one has had to since Acts 2. We said
wait for the holy spirit (we need to say yield to the holy spirit) because the HS is
like air. You cant beat him to a place. He doesnt come and go.
The only reason we say come and go is because its a yielding to. Dont think he left
and that when you got your guitar out, he came back.
Anywhere you go on this planet, you can breathe. Anywhere you go, the HS is right
there.
ive been at some church services that I didnt think God was attending, and I was
surprised that he was. Its because I thought I knew what he felt like and what he
looked like.
God said to Joshua I will be with you wherever you go. Where does God go?
Wherever you go?
You have a wrong concept of this God. I WILL BE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
till the ends of the earth. Till the end of the age.
Spirit power (both holy and evil) move to and through humans according to their
amount of yielding.
of 20 27
Yielding: allow, surrender, open your heart to, seek after, to press in
Its all about having a lot of flow or a little bit of flow, according to the amount of
yielding.
Why do we close our eyes when we pray? when we kiss? It helps us yield.
Why do we go forward in meetings? Its an act of yielding.
Whats probably the most concentrated yielding we have in our weekly schedule?
Spirit power moves through you most according to your yielding. Worship is
probably the most concentrated deliberate yielding that Christians ever do.
You dont have to be that Christian to go to heaven. So dont try so hard.
We fast because we are yielded more.
What was the outreach that Jesus sent his disciples on? He gave them authority over
demons.
If you can do something just because you have the talent or the education, its
probably not ministry. If its not God working through you, its not ministry.
God gave them power over the hardest kind of ministry-dealing with the demonic-so
they would know that God is stronger. That the only things that really matter are the
stuff that only God can do through us. Its not about me. Its about the power of God.
If God is not with us, then ywam needs to shut down because were too dumb and
ugly to reach the world. Its not about you! Its about God through you.
The most important thing you can learn in your life is how to yield.
We shouldnt chop up DTS into worship, intercession and teaching time. Big mistake.
You should be just as yielded in lecture time as you are in worship time. You would
feel the presence of God just as strongly if you were more yielded. But you are not
because you are in the academic time.
Worship time is part of my learning! Learning does not start in lecture. some of the
most important things you are learning for life and ministry are in worship.
What are you learning in worship time? Youre learning to yield. Youre in a DTS and
part of that training is being done in worship. Were not just getting our hearts ready
for the learning, we are learning. We are getting trained to yield. Dont go into
another worship time thinking this is another prep time for lecture. Dont ever
worship without tuning into the HS. Thats where he talks the most clearly.
I always get the finishing touches on my message sitting on the front row in the
church during the worship time. I arrive at the church on sunday morning w/ a
particular message and during the worship time, god forms a new message in me.
Lots of what I have taught this week has come during worship or while speaking. Its
in the flow of the spirit that you get revelation.
Dont get these religious ruts that only praying for people after is the ministry time.
Ive got to coach you to listen to things like that. Listen for God doing something for
you individually while im up here in front of the whole group.
of 21 27
Dont put God in a box. Dont come to any part of your schedule less yielded than
another part of your schedule.
The history of God in two sentences::::
Everything God has ever done he has done by his spirit.
God does everything through yielded people.
The most important thing we will learn to do is to yield.
(what is the definition of obedience in the bible?)
The kingdom is not natural (eating and drinking) its supernatural good relationship,
supernatural peace, supernatural righteousness, supernatural everything.
The kingdom is a spirit thing. totally. totally. not natural.
If I could take you by the shirt and teach you something this morning, it would be to
never fight in the natural arena again. We are to never fight in the natural world.
How do you win the football game if you are on a different field from the other team?
You cant. Ephesians 6. What field is our opponent on? The heavenly realms, the spirit
world. How are you going to win over him if you never go there?
Do we actively resist the devil? How often do we say I resist you satan in the name
of Jesus
Guys, nobody is standing in front of the enemy. We are just having meetings and
saying wasnt that a lovely service?
You need to take a deliberate step as a result of the teaching this week to determine
that you are going to be a regular, deliberate participant against the powers of
darkness in the spiritual realm.
My job is to get you more busy and aware in the spiritual realm. Resist the devil and
he will FLEE from you.
Luke 10:19///He gives us power, authority over all the power of the enemy.
How many goals can a team make if they are the only team on the field? As many as
they want?
You develop another step in your discipleship if you decide that today I will stand in
front of the enemys strategies and say No way.
in my name, you will drive out the devil. Who will drive him out? me. can we do it
without God? nope. Start taking your responsibility to rule. Thats why you were put
here.
Satan is trying to hard to take me out. Hes trying so hard. Ive been consumed with
my own broken heart and hes systematically taking me out by breaking me down
from the inside. Hes fed me so many lies of hatred for myself.
The enemy knows my potential more than me and he is actively resisting me. do I
resist him back? Get angry. Say no more. I have such a calling and I HATE that Satan
has opposed it.

August 22nd
In our discipleship we have to be committed to hearing. Jesus only did what he
heard God saying.
Everyone who interacts with God has to do so through spirit and truth (which doesnt
mean the bible-weve made that into a god) (the word truth there means reality)
John 8:28 then you will know that I am he ad that I do nothing on my own but speak
just what the Father has taught me.
When Jesus said I am the way, the TRUTH-he means the reality. Touch me, get to
know me.
You live the life of Jesus through your personality. I dont just believe in Jesus. I live
the life of the resurrected son of god through my unique personality.
Seriousness is not a fruit of the spirit
Grace does not cover sin, blood washes sin away. God doesnt look at us through
grace colored glasses so he doesnt see how sinful we are. Grace enables us to reign
in life.
I can reign in life over sin, over loneliness, rejection, fear, without money. I can reign
over any circumstance with an abundance of grace.
They that worship him must worship in spirit and reality.
Noah preached righteousness for 120 years (imagine God preaching to the whole
area since 1896)
Ask these two questions the rest of your life.
1. How is the spirit world affecting me right now?
2. How can I affect the spirit world? Start noticing so you can have faith and be
more deliberate about how you can affect the spirit world.
We have been affecting the spirit world anyways, but not noticing it. When we do it
deliberately, we are doing it by faith.
Psalms 149:6 may the praise of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword
in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to
bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron.
Everywhere you go in the christian world, you will come across worship and teaching.
Its not about emotionalism but its about spirit flow. Where did we learn to just sing a
song?
spirit empowered worship and use of the word is what is drawing people to God.
Dont just get knowledge of the word. Open the bible and ask God for a sprit of
wisdom and revelation. Dont have a quiet time to just fill the hour and say I have a
quiet time. Dont have one then. If you have a quiet time yielded to the spirit.
I will not have a quiet time, do worship, read my bible, have a quiet time without
yielding to the spirit.
of 23 27
Worship affects the nations (psalms 149:6) and so its important we get into it and
that we affect the spiritual realm.
The closeness of a relationship is determined by humility.
Whenever you worship the Lord you kick the devil.
You have been binding the enemy our entire lives, we just werent as aware of it.
The word in psalms 146 is declarations. There is power in the word of God coming
through you.
1 Timothy 4:14///
Worship in faith. pray in faith.
Christians never simply say prayers. Christians always pray in faith and in the spirit.
characteristics of prayer for every religion except ours:
1. amount of time, 2. intensity 3. amount of prayers prayed 4. sacrifice in prayer
Every religion except yours believes those four things are what gives you merit, favor
with God or gods.
Matthew 6:7///for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not
be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Christians do not pray for merit. Nothing you can do human gives more merit or favor
than God than the blood of Jesus has already given.
Why is God having favor on you? totally and completely because of what Jesus did
for you. Not of works, less any man should boast.
The word grace means favor.
I dont have to gain favor with God. He already likes me before I do anything. Im
totally acceptable based on what Jesus did for me. If I never pray again for the rest
of my life I will still be acceptable to God.
Guys you do not get christianity if you think God will love you more if you pray to him
more.
The only thing that makes you acceptable to God is what Jesus did for you. Nothing
you do makes God accept you more.
If we get this, we will be more spontaneous and will break out in praise more than
you ever have. youll be worshipping before they even start their keyboards.
Say Our Father meaning you have that relationship before you did anything. You
start this interchange with God by saying Father. That means something was
accomplished completely before that prayer started. I always say Lord.
We never pray lots of prayer never for merit. Always to yield. ALWAYS
TO YIELD. Why do we sacrice? Why do we pray 24 hours? Why do we
fast? Why do we pray with intensity? TO YIELD.
All of those things give us a greater flow of the spirit through us.
Jericho: does any amount of walking around walls take them down? no. But they
were yielding to God. The more they walked around, they were yielding to God
of 24 27
more and more and when enough of God was yielded through he could smash the
walls.
God is unlimited in his power, but he flows his power through people, and through
yielded people.
God would have never knocked the walls down if the people hadnt marched.
When you start with father, you are admitting you are already in favor. Father,
Husband. Start with an assumption of place of where you stand in the kingdom.
God is our Father as much as he is Jesus father.
We are heirs of God and joint heirs. We should have as much confidence to approach
him as Jesus had.
I believe all of this. But why then, when I have tried to yield soo much to Godwhy
has it been so hard? why have I gone through so much heartache? Why was it so
hard?
Christians should always pray in faith, and in the spirit.
True or False: An hour of prayer pleases God. -false An hour of prayer with faith
pleases God-true.
Hebrews 11:6///faith is what pleases God. Anyone who comes to him must believe
that he exists (and that he is that he is that he is-that he is this kind of a God. He has
this character, and unchangeable character and nature), that he is my father and
husband and that he loves me a lot and he will respond to me asking him.
Seek (in blue letter bible): 1. to seek out, search for. 2. to seek out, investigate
scrutinize, 3. to seek out for ones self, beg, crave, 4. to demand back, require.
I will never pray again without expectation.
spend your prayer meetings expecting reward.
Christians always pray in faith and spirit and it is to yield.
NEVER PRAY WITHOUT EXPECTATION
Praying in the spirit is a biblical absolute. Prayer in the greek includes what you call
worship.
The bible doesnt know anything about categories like pentecostal, baptist, etc.
pray for something to happen.
God deliver me from fatalism. You have not believed for daily bread when you
have prayed for daily bread that because God loves you, he will automatically meet
your needs and that asking doesnt change anything.
Do I really believe something actually changes when I pray for daily bread?
Fatalism is one of the strongest, most demonic things on this planet.
You will accept Satans strategies if you have a fatalistic mindset.
Ephesians 6:11///This verse tells you what evil looks like. This verse tells you why you
put on the armor of God. SO THAT you can take your stand against the schemes of
the devil. Satan does nothing by himself. He only does things when we let him do it.
of 25 27
What about when im not strong enough? This just seems like it should have worked
better these last years
Satan never stops doing things automatically. He only stops doing things when
Christians demand him to in the name of Jesus.
(what if I dont realize its the devil? Why has it been SO HARD to figure out what the
devil is and what the will of god is?
Satan-stop condemning me in the name of Jesus! Stop stealing joy in the name of
Jesus!
Stand against the schemes of the devil.
If you dont like what is going on in your life, in your finances, in Iraq-then stand
against something.
Having a ying/yang view that each life is supposed to have a little bit of suffering is
buddhism. That would be a cute philosophy if there is no devil, but when the devil
hears you say I accept the bad with the good, hes going to give you bad.
DONT ACCEPT. STAND AGAINST.
Yes God is sovereign. But there is Satan and he lies to you. Cast down imaginations.
God wants to restore. He wants to restore. He wants to restore. He wants to restore.
He can restore. He can restore. He can restore.
Satan and demonic beings talk to every human mind every day. (why am I so
susceptible to it?) so notice it. Analyze your thoughts. Why am I thinking this negative
thing? Why am I thinking no one accepts me in the Newcastle base.
Some of you have habits of listening and believing all of your life. Start noticing. (I am
so angry. So angry. So angry)
2 Corinthians 4:4///The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that
they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of god
The god of this age blinds minds.
We cannot argue people to the truth.
evolution, hinduism, marxism started as one thought. dont tolerate the bad
thoughts in your mind.
Thats why people who are smarter and more educated than you believe things that
make you laugh.
mans problem is never simply a lack of information. Its a problem with darkness.
Why hasnt a lot of times talking with god changed my heart more? Why hasnt it
made a difference? Why is my heart so slow to change?
Push back the darkness, pray down light (revelation).
before next quiet time, before next church service, pray for Iraq,
Get out of the natural world only and start noticing what the spirit world is doing, but
the spirit of God which reveals.
Getting to know god is yielding to all of god that is available.

So often God has told me stand up!
obedience is yielding to Gods goodness. Amen.
