COT:
There are some crazy stories in the Bible! Sad hell, God‘s anointed king ends up. He just got distracted by his own kingdom. We have to be careful not to do the same. The only way is to abide in Christ!

“Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” He said, “Bring up Samuel for me.” When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul.” The king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.” He said to her, “What is his appearance?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul answered, “I am in great distress, for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do.””
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭28‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

““I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[virtuous-leadership-school] Q1.4 The Jester: A tough one to face

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Borg
PAX: Spinner, Spellcheck
FNGs: None
COUNT: 3
WARMUP: Prayer and hot coffee!

THE THANG: The toughest Q point yet, it hits the weaknesses we cannot make go away. We can only prepare and fail forward.
– We started off Subject because we discussed “How to step in to help a confusing or over-engineered Q?”
– The Jester – The tempataion of the flesh – “The Grind of Everything.”
– Law of Addition – If you add something good in spite of everything else being the same, then you are getting better.
– But the same can happen if something bad is added in by rationalization and the slippery slope begins.
– There are no plateaus!!
– Accelerating requires timing, strategy and patience – Prepare, Assess, Position yourself, hold, hold, hold, go.
– “Before you even do it, just don’t.”

Exercise: Name 1-3 people who you are impacting because you are where you are, now, instead of in the fantasy world of who you could have been.

COT: Got distracted, no prayer, and no picture. The Jester strikes again.

COT: “The proud person always wants to do the great thing. But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.” Kierkegaard

Pride and Self-Reliance leads to disaster, not trusting God. The irony is when we accept absolute dependence on God, then we find the strength.

Shame and Fear keep us paralyzed or stagnant doing nothing, but they stem from the same lack of trust and dependence on God.

Self-will leads to failure.
Shame keeps us stuck.
But reliance on the Holy Spirit transforms us into who we were meant to be.
When we walk in the Spirit, God enables us to go higher, endure more, and accomplish what we never could in our own strength. This is exactly how Jesus lived, how much more do we need to?
