Fundamentals - Walking Out Of Pain - Part 1

Week 16 - Day 1

May 2, 2022 • Ryan Kibbe • Psalm 50:15, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Psalm 147:3, James 1:2, Psalm 9:9

Psalm 147:3 AMP
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their sorrows].

Understanding Pain
1. It’s rarely “The Problem” and almost always the symptom.
2. It will lead you to the problem’s source.
3. The level of pain doesn’t necessarily determine the depth of your problem.
4. Ignoring pain or avoid it leads to deeper problems.

STEP ONE - WALKING OUT OF PAIN
● Trust God.
● James 1:2 NASB
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

● God is a great place to hide.
● Psalms 9:9
The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
● He promises to rescue us when we are in trouble.
● Psalms 50:15
● Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

● God has a plan to get you through this, not around it.
● 1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.


Question To Ponder:
● Have you lived so long with your pain, that your pain has become a part of you? Are
you willing to submit this area of your life to Him, even if it’s a current mystery?

Fundamentals - Who Do You Think You Are?

May 13, 2022 • Ryan Kibbe • Matthew 6:22, John 5:22, John 3:17, John 8:15, 2 Corinthians 5:16

Matthew 6:22 (NASB) “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. 1. Let go of who we THINK we are, to see who we TRULY ARE! 2. The elephant in the room: a. What we THINK AND SAY b. What we actually experience and the disconnect between the two realities 3. We are COMPLETE IN HIM.. Our IDENTITY IS http://superman...not the earthen Clark Kent vessel that is fading away! ● To be fully aligned is to awaken to our true identity! ● I remember WHO I AM by surrendering who I am not! ● We need to SEE AS HE SEES….not as WE SEE???? ● If I am filled with judgment, it will cloud my lens and how I see.. John 5:22 (NKJV) 22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, John 5:45 45 “Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses will accuse you! John 3:17 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him John 8:15 15 You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone. 2 Corinthians 5:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; WHAT i believe about myself--and you --- IN THIS WORLD DETERMINES THE EXPERIENCE i WILL HAVE IN THIS WORLD… I will manifest the world I am most aware of. Fear or love? · AS HE IS SO AM I IN THIS WORLD!!! · WE LIVE LIKE JESUS IN THIS WORLD... HE'S IN http://us...of COURSE WE CAN.. · JESUS IS OUR http://model...he IS THE STANDARD.... · http://everything....everything...not JUST SOME OF http://him...all OF HIM!! · ALL OF HIM, GETS ALL OF ME!! · I’m on the earth to follow Him, to manifest Him, live what He lives, to follow Him by the power of His Spirit. Your concept of http://god...the Father will leak out THE FATHER IS NOT DISAPPOINTED IN ME!!! 1. The flesh LOVES GRIEVANCE and is ADDICTED TO NEGATIVITY….it feeds on it for survival 2. SURRENDER THAT LIE… We must confront our love affair for punishment: ● The punishment of others who fail ● The punishment of ourselves who fail Jesus told his disciples that authority works differently in the kingdom. On earth leaders try to scare people into obedience. In the kingdom, we serve people into relationship. FREEDOM-DONT GO BACK TO A PUNISHMENT MENTALITY Prioritizing rules OVER RELATIONSHIP creates religion AND REBELLION Prioritizing our relationships cultivates love. Rules do not cultivate love. When law is high, love is low! EXAMPLE: IRS ACTIVATION: SURRENDER THE FALSE IDENTITIES!!!

Fundamentals - Unpunishable - Part 1

May 12, 2022 • Ryan Kibbe • 1 John 4:16–19

1 John 4:16-19 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. 19 We love, because He first loved us. ● We KNOW - it means we experience and believe from experience of His love! Example: AMYGDALA ● It reacts to anger, fear, avoidance, defenstiveness. ● It prompts the release of adrenaline. ● When it GETS HIJACKED because of something in your ENVIRONMENT. The response is to protect! FIGHT OR FLIGHT.... ● When you are heightened, under http://duress....you begin to fight for your life!!! ● This is temporary to things that threaten us..... ● You DON’T want to live under constant duress. ● Our senses are designed to locate danger, not live in constant hostile environments at home, work, and relationships. ● I WILL ADOPT A fear reaction anytime I make the issue at hand larger in my mind than the reality of my God. HOW YOU VIEW GOD - -MATTERS!!! God is in a good mood! He is not threatened, so we don’t have to live threatened either. 1. Punishment is a form of control 2. Intimidation - fear of punishment - is often motivated by my desire to control you 3. If this is a tool in my parenting - I will hurt you if you don’t let me control you. 4. We can have an expectation and template that God does the same thing 5. When we get out there and break all of His rules - that is confusing? 6. Maybe He didn’t see that? LOVE PROTECTS HEART CONNECTION ● I can now shift to - this relationship with Him is held together by the way I manage the relationship to protect our relationship If I manage myself to avoid HIS PUNISHMENTS - I am learning SELF-PRESERVATION - I am not learning love!!! ● I am learning how to manipulate God and protect myself by learning the rules = like a good politician or lawyer - manipulate the system ---- ● The one who fears is not mature in love -- ● As long as I am steering my life ---to avoid PUNISHMENT --i REALLY stay very immature in my love..I’ll have lots of rules and painful consequences ● The Great Lie: ○ You need to be controlled We cannot BE who we are, unless we SEE who we are, stripped of the LIES that blind us. Question to Ponder: Where are you under the influence of ‘control’ because of ‘fear?

Fundamentals - Fearless - Part 3 Swing Your Sword

May 11, 2022 • Ryan Kibbe • Jeremiah 1:12, 2 Samuel 23:9–10

2 Samuel 23:9-10 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim for http://battle.then the men of Israel retreated, but he stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. Eleazar’s name literally means ‘WHOM GOD HELPS’ · His lineage is a family of WARRIORS...Fighters for God · He was WELL-VERSED, WELL-SKILLED in the combat arts—SPIRITUALLY TRAINED---- · In short—ELEAZAR WAS A JEDI!!! · Eleazar TAUNTED his enemy because he had confidence in His King and His sword · HIS HAND FROZE TO THE SWORD!!!! o Two things happened here: § The blood was so thick from the carnage that it dried around his hand where it became enmeshed § The grip was so tight his sword couldn’t be removed from him...... ELEAZAR—STOOD HIS GROUND AND SWANG THAT SWORD AND WRECKED HAVOC!!! · He studied – practiced with that sword · Knew every inch of the blade · Sharpened it---worked with it... · It was already an extension of him BEFORE THE BATTLE BEGAN.... ELEAZAR’S VICTORY was decisive---OTHER’S Picked up the spoils.... ELEAZAR WAS WEARY.... but God gave him the victory....... THE BIBLE says that THE WORD OF GOD is a WEAPON......A SWORD...... YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR SWORD!!!!—use http://it....but GOD WILL GIVE YOU VICTORY.... MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE... TREAT your Bible the same way as ELEAZAR treated HIS SWORD.... Jeremiah 1:12(AMP) Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it. ACTION STEP: ● Locate an area of your life you need to ‘stand your ground’ and ‘swing your sword.’ Google search scriptures that speak this and declare them over your life until you feel a shift.
