    TODAY’S MESSAGE

    PSALM 37:4-6 TPT Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and HE WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU WHAT YOU DESIRE THE MOST. 5 Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way YOU’LL FIND HE PULLED IT OFF PERFECTLY! 6… He will manifest AS YOUR JUSTICE, as sure and strong as the noonday sun.

    QUESTION

    At the end of the holidays,

    WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAVE EXPERIENCED,

    or how do you want to have benefited?

    PRINCIPLE

    Expenditures/gifts should

    HONOR the joy in relationships,

    not BE the joy in relationships.

    Gifts CELEBRATE relationships,

    not FIX relationships!

    FACT

    WHERE DOES STRESS COME FROM?

    Stress is rooted in our

    desire to control

    something or someone!

    _______________ PATH TO BEING STRESS FREE 1. SELF AWARENESS – ATTUNEMENT

    PSALM 77:6 KJV [Asaph said in a time of deep distress] … COMMUNE with MINE OWN HEART: and my SPIRIT made DILIGENT SEARCH.

    PRINCIPLE

    You cannot CHANGE,

    or FEEL DIFFERENTLY about,

    what you DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE.

    You have to NAME IT to TAME IT!

    PRINCIPLE

    Often we AREN’T BATTLING

    the OTHER PERSON,

    but our own WOUND-BASED NARRATIVE.

    • SELF-QUESTION #1 - “What does this person, group, event or environment DO TO ME?”

    • SELF-QUESTION #2 - “How long does it take me TO GET BACK TO ZERO after I have been with this person, group, event or environment?”

    • SELF-QUESTION #3 - “What JUSTIFICATIONS do I wrestle with?”

    • SELF-QUESTION #4 - “Why do I KEEP THINKING about this? Why do I get DYSREGULATED EMOTIONALLY with this?”

    • SELF-QUESTION #5 - “Is this GOOD STEWARDSHIP of my energies?”

    _______________ 2. DIFFERENTIATION – BOUNDARIES DEFINITION

    BOUNDARIES, in a broad sense, are the lines or things that mark a LIMIT, BOUND, or BORDER. Boundaries are the realization of our own person apart from others. This sense of separateness forms the basis of personal identity.

    PRINCIPLE

    GROWTH in BOUNDARIES means growth in…

    EMOTIONAL Intelligence

    SOCIAL Intelligence

    _______________ 3. LOVE – GENEROSITY OF HEART

    COLOSSIANS 3:12-14 TPT … Be MERCIFUL as you endeavor to UNDERSTAND OTHERS, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others. 13 TOLERATE THE WEAKNESSES of those in the family of faith, FORGIVING one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. … 14 For LOVE IS SUPREME and MUST FLOW THROUGH each of these VIRTUES. Love becomes the mark of TRUE MATURITY.

    HOW TO STAY HAPPY!

    REMEMBER WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT:

    LOVE is the answer to HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    _______________ CALL TO ACTION

    What is your ONE NEXT STEP that you need to take?

    • Begin soothing/spiritual/self-care exercises

    • Invite safe family/friends into your stress

    • Decide in advance what you want each event experience to be

    • Prepare to limit exposure to dysregulating experiences

    • Take the Science of Freedom Workshop to understand yourself

    • Trigger the energy of love generously flowing from the heart

    TODAY’S MESSAGE QUESTION #1 At the end of the holidays, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAVE EXPERIENCED, or how do you want to have benefited? FACT

    During the holidays

    Americans are notorious

    TO SPEND INORDINATE AMOUNTS OF MONEY

    on things that later

    INDUCE INORDINATE AMOUNTS OF STRESS!

    _______________ QUESTION #2 What is a HEALTHY PERSPECTIVE for relating with money that will support long-term emotional peace? PRINCIPLE

    Money will either be YOUR servant,

    or YOU will become money’s slave!

    PRINCIPLE

    Money will either be YOUR servant,

    or YOU will become money’s slave!

    ---------

    YOU get to decide!

    Matthew 6:21, 24 KJV(Jesus said) For where your TREASURE is, there your HEART will be also … 24 No one can SERVE TWO MASTERS; for either he will HATE the one and LOVE the other, or else he will be LOYAL (DEVOTED) to the one and DESPISE the other. You cannot serve GOD and MAMMON.

    SYNONYMS

    SERVE God, LOVE God, DEVOTE to God

    OR

    SERVE money, HATE (not love) God, DESPISE God

    REFLECTION

    Which of these statements

    create more anxiety in you?

    ---------

    “There is no God?”

    “There is no money?”

    PRINCIPLE

    MONEY decisions

    are

    SPIRITUAL decisions!

    PRINCIPLE

    Expenditures should

    HONOR the joy in relationships,

    not BE the joy in relationships.

    _______________ QUESTION #3 To stay healthy do I have to commit to a SPENDING PLAN? WHAT IS A BUDGET?

    A budget is a SPENDING PLAN,

    rather than a SPENDING REACTION.

    A budget is FORWARD THINKING,

    NOT paying off PAST STUFF.

    WHAT A BUDGET IS NOT…
    • Having money left over at the end of the month.

    • Having the ability to pay my bills on time.

    • Having the ability to pay my credit card off every month.

    • Using the money I have today to spend on discretionary things when I know other large essential expenditures are coming due in the months ahead.

    _______________ QUESTION #4 To be healthy emotionally HOW MUCH SHOULD I SPEND for the holidays? AVERAGE CHRISTMAS SPENDING

    1.6% OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME

    (REASONABLE – DÉCOR, MEALS, GIFTS, ETC.)

    $25,000 = $400

    $50,000 = $800

    $100,000 = $1,600

    _______________ QUESTION #5 How do I manage the financial stress I FEEL RIGHT NOW? PRINCIPLES
    • Emotional self-care

    • Differentiation

    • Relational connections

    • Love/serve the less fortunate

    _______________ CALL TO ACTION

    What is your ONE NEXT STEP that you need to take?

    • Aggressively begin soothing/self-care exercises

    • Invite family/friends into your stress

    • Serve the less fortunate

    • Create a budget (before 2019)

    • Go to a Financial Peace Seminar

    • Begin tithing (10%), or start percentage giving towards 10%

    • Reduce debt by selling something

    • Get a second job (income stream)

    MERRY STRESSMAS

    • What stresses you out during the Christmas season?

    • What turns the celebration of Christ into an emotional meltdown?

    • Maybe it is schedules, budgets and/or toxic interpersonal situations?

    The good news is that there tools, principles and wisdom to rise above these situations. When we approach stress with a “victim’s mentality” we are vulnerable to biological, mental and relational viruses. However, when we approach stress as a challenge to overcome, we enter with the health of a Jesus-disciple.

    Join us for our annual holiday preaching series at LifePointe called, MERRY STRESSMAS, DON’T LET THE GRINCH STEAL CHRISTMAS. Discover with us how to reach the other side of the holidays being healthy, happy and holy!

    HEBREWS 8:6 NKJV … (Jesus Christ) is also Mediator of a BETTER COVENANT, which was established on BETTER PROMISES.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-25 NKJV …the Lord Jesus on the [same] night in which He was betrayed took BREAD; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and said, "Take, eat; this is MY BODY which is BROKEN FOR YOU; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner [He] also [took] the CUP (OF WINE) after supper, saying, "This cup is the NEW COVENANT in MY BLOOD. This do, as often as you drink [it], in remembrance of Me."

    HEBREWS 9:22 NKJV And according to the law almost all things are PURIFIED WITH BLOOD, and without SHEDDING OF BLOOD there is NO REMISSION (OF SIN).

    _______________ ADAM

    GENESIS 2:7 NKJV And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH OF LIFE; and man became a LIVING BEING.

    LEVITICUS 17:11, 14 NKJV For the LIFE OF THE FLESH [IS] IN THE BLOOD, … for it [is] the BLOOD [that] makes ATONEMENT for the soul. ... 14 for [it is] the LIFE of all flesh. Its BLOOD sustains its LIFE.

    _______________ CAIN AND ABEL

    GENESIS 4:2-5 NKJV …Now ABEL was a keeper of SHEEP, but CAIN was a tiller of the GROUND. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an OFFERING OF THE FRUIT of the ground to the LORD. 4 Abel also brought of the FIRSTBORN OF HIS FLOCK and of their fat. And the LORD RESPECTED ABEL and his offering, 5 but He DID NOT RESPECT CAIN and his offering.

    HEBREWS 11:4 NKJV BY FAITH ABEL offered to God a MORE EXCELLENT SACRIFICE than CAIN…

    _______________ ABRAHAM - ISAAC

    HEBREWS 11:17-19 NKJV By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten [son], 18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," 19 concluding that GOD [WAS] ABLE TO RAISE [HIM] UP, EVEN FROM THE DEAD, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

    _______________ MOSES

    EXODUS 12:5, 7-8, 11-14 NKJV 'Your LAMB SHALL BE WITHOUT BLEMISH, a male of the first year. You may take [it] from the sheep or from the goats. ... 7 'And they shall take [some] of the BLOOD and put [it] on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 'Then they shall EAT THE FLESH on that night; roasted in fire, with UNLEAVENED BREAD [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it. ... 11 'And thus you shall eat it: [with] a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It [is] the LORD'S PASSOVER. 12 'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD. 13 'Now the BLOOD SHALL BE A SIGN for you on the houses where you [are]. And when I see the BLOOD, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy [you] when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 'So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall KEEP IT AS A FEAST to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.’

    PSALM 105:37 NKJV He also brought them out with silver and gold, And [there was] NONE FEEBLE among His tribes.

    _______________ JESUS

    GENESIS 3:15 NKJV (God said to the serpent, Satan) And I will put enmity Between you and the WOMAN, And between your seed and HER SEED; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."

    1 PETER 2:22, 24 NKJV (Jesus Christ) Who committed NO SIN, Nor was deceit found in His mouth; ... 24 who Himself BORE OUR SINS in His own body on the TREE, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by WHOSE STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED.

    1 PETER 1:18-19 NKJV …knowing that you were not REDEEMED with corruptible things, [like] silver or gold, from your aimless conduct [received] by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, as of a LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH and WITHOUT SPOT (Exodus 12:5).

    _______________ BLOOD COVENANT = PROMISES = ESTABLISHED FACTS _______________ TIME TO ACTIVATE

    Read/Pray/Live the PROMISES as COVENANT FACTS with God!

    _______________ COMMUNION TABLE

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-25 NKJV …the Lord Jesus on the [same] night in which He was betrayed took BREAD; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and said, "Take, eat; this is MY BODY which is BROKEN FOR YOU; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner [He] also [took] the CUP (OF WINE) after supper, saying, "This cup is the NEW COVENANT in MY BLOOD. This do, as often as you drink [it], in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this BREAD and drink this CUP, you PROCLAIM THE LORD'S DEATH till He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks [this] cup of the Lord in an UNWORTHY MANNER will be guilty of the BODY and BLOOD of the Lord. 28 But let a man EXAMINE HIMSELF, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an UNWORTHY MANNER eats and drinks JUDGMENT to himself, NOT DISCERNING THE LORD'S BODY. 30 FOR THIS REASON many [are] WEAK and SICK among you, and many SLEEP (HAVE DIED).

    DEUTERONOMY 28:1-2, 15, 20-22, 25 NKJV (God said) If you FULLY OBEY the LORD your God and carefully follow all his COMMANDS I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these BLESSINGS will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

    4 Have a fertile womb; crops and livestock will be blessed

    5 Your business will be blessed

    7 The Lord will protect you from your enemies

    8 You will be blessed in bank accounts and other storage houses of blessing; the circumstances of economies won’t matter to you

    9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.

    13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail.

    _______________

    DEUTERONOMY 28:15 NKJV However, if you DO NOT OBEY the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his COMMANDS and decrees I am giving you today, all these CURSES will come upon you and overtake you:

    • The Hebrew language, the original text here, does not have a “causative” verb but only a “permissive”. It should say, “God will allow…”

    • Since the directive is clear, YOU hold the power to initiate blessings and YOU have the power to initiate the cursing. God ONLY allows what you and I initiate.

    17 You won’t enjoy your work/labor

    18 You won’t be able to get pregnant, and you will struggle in both finances and vocational successes

    20 You will lack of peace, wisdom and clear decision-making and have no safety or protection or security of future

    21 You will have sickness, disease and physical weakness

    23 Nothing will be easy, no favor, no momentum

    24 Opportunities will be hard, impossible, and hopeless

    25 Shame, regret, oppression will be the norm along with fear, faithlessness, question, skepticism

    26 You will experience isolation, aloneness, separation

    28 You will have darkness, confusion, mental and psychological breakdowns

    29 You will have complete failure and be victimized with nor oversight or justice

    30 Your spouse will be given to sexual rape.

    31 Your dreams will be taken from you

    32 You will experience literal and spiritual child abductions

    34 You will find yourself meditating on your regrets and intense emotions of injustice

    36 Your religion will not make sense but be forced upon you

    37 You will have embarrassment, shame, rejection, humiliation

    38 Everything will be against you and nothing will work out for you

    39 Unforeseen, pest-like things will spring up. When you do everything right, something will happen to undermine it.

    40 You hopes will begin to get up. But in the last minute you will have them crushed.

    GALATIANS 3:13-14, 29 NKJV CHRIST has REDEEMED us from the CURSE OF THE LAW, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed [is] everyone who hangs on a tree"), 14 that the BLESSING OF ABRAHAM might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith. ... 29 And if you [are] CHRIST'S, then you are ABRAHAM'S SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE.

    UNBREAKABLE PROMISE - NEW PREACHING SERIES

    • What is your promise for life and eternity?

    • What does God think about you?

    • Does God change in moods and seasons?

    In UNBREAKABLE PROMISE we discover the power of a COVENANT. While contemporary ideas of a “promise” express future intentions, God has taken us back to the Cross of Christ where He swore by Himself. What that means is God isn’t bolstering hope around what He intends to do; He has committed His entire being and existence in what He has already done. For God to change His mind about you - about your future, or your daily nurture, or your freedom – He would have to self-destruct.

    The power of this COVENANT, that Jesus has invited us into, is that we never have to question God’s will for our protection, health, strength, prosperity and contentment. The CALL on our lives will lead us to uncomfortable and inconvenient places, often surrounded with sufferings in obedience to God. However, the COVENANT has forever established our welfare as we fulfill the CALL. This series will change the way you think of God, yourself and the provisions He has generously provided!

    THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN

    The primary work of the Holy Spirit WITHIN YOU is to SUPPORT you in your own personal life; guidance, joys, peace, refreshment, help, counsel, comfort, etc.

    JOHN 14:16-17 KJV [Jesus said] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 … for he dwelleth with you, and SHALL BE IN YOU.

    2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 KJV [Paul said] …as God hath said, I WILL DWELL IN THEM, and WALK IN THEM; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

    1 JOHN 4:4 KJV [John said] … greater is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the world.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT UPON

    The primary work of the Holy Spirit UPON YOU is to EMPOWER you in WITNESSING Christ to your network of relationships. One of the most provocative, profound and heart-hitting statements used in Scripture about the Holy Spirit is “baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

    ACTS 1:4-5 NKJV And being assembled together with them, (Jesus) He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the PROMISE of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly BAPTIZED with water, but you shall be BAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

    MATTHEW 3:11-12 NIV (John the Baptist said) I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will BAPTIZE you with the HOLY SPIRIT and with FIRE.

    ACTS 2:1-4 KJV And when the DAY OF PENTECOST was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it SAT UPON each of them. 4 And they were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, and began to speak with other tongues, as the SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE.

    Here we have another expression, “FILLED with the Holy Spirit,” used synonymously with “BAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit.”

    ACTS 10:44-46 NKJV While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit FELL upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been POURED OUT on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.

    Peter himself describing this experience in Jerusalem, told the story in this way…

    ACTS 11:15-17 NKJV And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit FELL UPON them, AS UPON US at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be BAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit.' 17 If therefore God gave them the SAME GIFT as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"

    Here Peter distinctly called the experience which came to Cornelius and his household, being “BAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit.” Thus we see that these expressions are all synonymous.

    • “…FILLED with the Holy Spirit…” (ACTS 2:4)

    • “…the Holy Spirit FELL…” (ACTS 10:44)

    • “…BAPTISM with the Holy Spirit…” (ACTS 11:16)

    • “ …God gave them the SAME GIFT…” (ACTS 11:17)

    Other expressions are also used to describe this blessing, such as …

    • “…RECEIVE the Holy Spirit…” (ACTS 2:38; 19:2-3),

    • “…the Holy Spirit CAME UPON them…” (ACTS 19:2-6)

    • “…the GIFT of the Holy Spirit…” (HEB 2:4; 1 COR 12:4, 11, 13)

    • “I send THE PROMISE of my Father upon you…” (LUKE 24:49; ACTS 1:4)

    • And “CLOTHED WITH POWER from on high…” (LUKE 24:49)

    BENEFITS OF “TONGUES”
    1. It is a distinct communication with God

    2. Insightful praying about God’s plan for life

    3. Builds up, sharpens and edifies the inner life

    4. Expands worship to God

    5. Stimulates faith

    Along with several more spiritual benefits.

    HOW TO ACTIVATE
    1. Genuinely desire all that the Holy Spirit is (no prejudice).

    2. Ask God for the baptism in the Holy Spirit and all His gifts.

    3. Take steps of faith to encounter Him (like you see in Scripture).
