21 Persecuted for Good?
This is the part about Jesus that offends our modern lifestyle. Or we employ unwise strategy, and claim we are being persecuted for good. More and more we are seeing evil called good, and good called evil. Anytime our Holy God has had significant impact on humanity, an outpouring of signs & wonders, people added ... persecution typically follows. A really good villain in a movie convinces those around they are good. Evil is still fighting for its life. We can endure, and if evil takes our life, we have a very great reward in Heaven.

The Bible is Weird. What are The Watchers, Nephilim, giants, angels, seraphim, cherubim, archangels, ophanim, behemoth, leviathan, talking animals, demons, dragons, UFOs, healing, walking on water, multiplying food, water to wine, floating metal, the sun stopping, the end times, Revelation, references to the Book of Enoch, etc... Many things will never be settled, or will we ever truly know, but we will never know if we just ignore these parts of the bible.
Today's Challenge: Select one of the "Mystery" events and get curious about it.
24 Invite Some Trouble
Creating community has incredible rewards. People all coming together for a common cause is Heaven on Earth. To get to Heaven and take a group of people together, may mean you will invite some trouble. Everyone has a perspective and opinions. Our culture has lost the art of slowing down & just having a meal together with no agenda except to get to know more about the other people ... without judgement.

25 Subtle Perversions, Lies
Words have been twisted and perverted to lead us off in the wrong direction.

Evil has been twisting truth so that we are unable to operate like Jesus to do the greater things Jesus said we would do.
Today's Challenge: Select one of the "Truth" events & get curious. Discover the original truths.
26 Take Massive Action
Faith is a muscle. Just because you pray, or command a demon to stop and it doesn’t stop, doesn’t mean you don’t have authority over it, it just means you haven’t developed the muscle for it yet. Develop faith muscles within 1 to 6 months.
Today's Challenge: Make a group or join a group of friends that are willing to take massive action, make mistakes, and build muscles of faith together by taking on the "Basic" events.
27 Fear is Worship
What we fear, we worship. We are told in the Ancient Book to “Fear only the Holy God”. The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom”. Demons have limited resources, so a nice easy way for them to steel from God & man is fear. Develop the muscle of fearing only the Holy God.
Today's Challenge: Take note of all the things you fear, or have anxiety about. Then ask, "Is God smaller than this fear & do I lack the confidence that God will defeat this fear?"
28 God, Spirits, & Eternity
The Bible is a spiritual book, & the Spirit realm is more real than the natural one. Think about this. The earth or our natural world is limited, but there is still infinite things to discover. The Spirit realm is even more real than our natural realm because it will outlast the natural. Theology & science both bump into the spirit, and it makes them both uncomfortable. There is a fear of asking questions or consider theories because of a fear of heresy. Holy Spirit is a big boy, and wants to help us discover the secrets of the spirit Kingdom. Jesus said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God, and God's righteousness, (your rights in this Kingdom) and all the natural needs are taken care of. Let's go discover and be humble enough to recognize we are all heretics, once in a while.
Today's Challenge: Select one of the "Discovery" events.
29 Really Good News?
People normally rush to take advantage of good news. Run the price up on a good investment, sell out a good opportunity. Tell all their friends about a good adventure. Stop everything to pursue a good spouse. Multiple offers on a good house. Pay incredibly high prices for a good event ticket. What are we missing when it comes to Jesus? Why did Jesus come and do what He did? Rediscover why what Jesus Christ brought us is "Good News".
Todays's Challenge: Select one of the "Good News" events.
30 Comfort Kills
Nothing significant happens in your comfort zone. Get uncomfortable. For some reason I’m always having the idea of retirement in a great climate, with paid off real estate, and passive income coming in as a goal. We have been created for so much more than a rest in this life. We build muscle through resistance. Rest deteriorates. We have a great job to do, and there are people crying out for us to live life more abundantly.
