God pops bubbles- Every encounter with God involves a material challenge, costs you, drains, frightens- When saved, you are given the Holy Spirit; it is not to be kept but given out...- What you have you did not earn, so give freely, distributing Jesus wherever you go- A really good meal (ex. Italian) becomes poison to the body after 72 hours- If you try to hold on to this, you poison yourself- God is a God of right now. Move on and do what God wants you to do today- The Gadareans didn’t want to move on... were shepherds but became keepers of pigs- When will you do something that makes you uncomfortable?- We get nesting and resting confused... if you rest too long you begin to nest- God is asking you to give something up or away, or to do something... are you willing?- Everybody is being conditioned; your bubble is about to burst- Untold blessings await people whose bubbles get popped- A happy church is an uncomfortable church
