2 Corinthians 11:3

"But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." This is why Jesus said to have faith like a child, the brain is of this world, therefore it is corrupt and gets in the way of allowing Jesus to enter fully. "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it” Luke 18:17. I love this topic, it has been a major eye opener to me. I don't want my mind transforming the gospel to make it fit, it fits already! God is enough. Now, our speaker this week is amazing, he lives and breathes only Jesus. He has an insane amount of passion but enough compassion to cry when explaining his heart to us. The first thing he said to us was "I am honored to be your last speaker before outreach because that means I get to pour gasoline all over you and God gets to light the match and ignite you guys!" In two sessions I have doubled the notes I took allll last week. Crazy! But the topic is all over the place so I am going to post my notes word for word, the way they are in my journal. Spare with me, it might be really random and confusing but I assure you, it is what God wants me to remember and share. Here it goes:

We are to be the Word.    A light.    When you're burning you don't care what people think- you're on fire!    The easiest way to stop receiving God's love is to look back.    Jesus said "It is finished," that means it is finished!    Your heart should be bigger than your mind, otherwise you will lead with your mind.    Jesus's bad day is enough to make your bad day a good day.    We're to become a child-it's simple!

   Psalm 138:2.    Any problem we don't accept God's word on, becomes elevated above God's name.    Don't let feelings determine how much faith I have.    It doesn't say I have to feel God's love, it says "know God's love."    In the world we have to "feel love" to be accepted and worthy.    When you're born again your DNA comes from the Heavenly Father, it means we are "re-fathered."    The bible says "submit to God and the devil will flee from you."    Submission is all it takes.    Ephesians 2:6-seated in Him in heavenly places.    In Him I live, I am my being.    We're seated ABOVE the spiritual realm.    Walk by faith not by sight-no more of "I cant see..."    God loves people-not numbers.    Hebrews 1:3-when you see Jesus you see love.    When you know Him you become love, when you become love it's not about yourself, it's about God's love for people.    People followed Jesus because He is love.    If we don't have true love, we don't have Jesus, and if Jesus is everything then we don't have anything.    That's how important it is!    We believe enough to get to heaven but not enough to let heaven in us.    When there is faith in a seed, it grows!    It doesn't matter if the person doesn't receive it.     2 Corinthians 11:3.    Our minds corrupt Christ's simplicity (childlike faith).    Satan tricks Eve by creating doubt in her mind, by making it complicated.    DOUBT.    God put satan on earth so we can step on him.    Satan can enter a place of peace but as long as my mind doesn't dwell on it my peace will remain.    God told Jesus "You're my Son." Satan then tempted Jesus for forty days asking Him "if you're God's Son prove it." Jesus quoted scripture by saying "By the word of my Father..." How cool!    Qualifications to becoming a son/daughter of Christ: BELIEVE.    You're required to be uncomfortable, how else can you receive The Comforter?    "I want to step out on a branch (in faith) so far that it is bending, about ready to snap and I'm uncomfortable.     Your past has no ability to influence your future, unless you look back.
