245: It Takes All That Danny, Michael, Ezra, Chris, Cornell

Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content Seek first the kIngdom require as vital , Love the Lord YOUR GOD with ALL and what does it actually look like to give your whole self to something meaningful without it becoming performative or exhausting?” The call of Jesus was never about partial awareness or divided living. It was always an invitation into wholeness, into full surrender, full trust, and full union. Not because God is demanding performance, but because fragmented living keeps us from experiencing fullness. Jesus speaks often in the language of “all.” “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37 NASB This is not legalism, it is alignment. Love naturally wants fullness. “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” Luke 9:23 NASB Denying self is not self-hatred. It is letting go of the false self, the fearful self, the striving self, so the true life of Christ can emerge. “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field… and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Matthew 13:44 NASB Notice the language: He sells all, not because he is forced to, but because he discovered something greater. Awareness changes what we cling to. “So therefore, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.” Luke 14:33 NASB Jesus is not obsessed with possessions. He is confronting attachment. Anything we cling to more than love limits awareness. “He who loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:39 NASB The paradox of the Kingdom is this: When we let go, we awaken. When we surrender, we become alive. When we stop trying to preserve the false self, we discover the true self.

244: Kingdom Clarity Danny and Michael

What is Kingdom Clarity? Kingdom clarity is not about knowing everything ahead of time. It is about being undivided in heart and aligned with God in the present moment. In Gospel of Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” The word pure (Greek: katharos) means: * unmixed * undivided * clear Clarity in the Kingdom is not information, it is alignment. And in Gospel of Matthew 6:22: “If your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.” The word clear (Greek: haplous) means: * single * focused * whole So Jesus is saying: When your heart is not divided, your life fills with light.

243: Trust Formation Danny, Michael, Ezra, Zach

Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content How has God formed you in the area of trust? Romans 8:16 “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities, for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Ephesians 3:16–17 “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” 1 Corinthians 2:12 “Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.” Trust in God is rarely instant, it is formed through relationship, testing, and experience. Trust in God is formed through: 1. Lover Encounter 2. Testing 3. Obedience 4. Surrender Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

He claims it. “I will build My church.” The Church is not a human project, it is a divine work. Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. This I command you, that you love one another. Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com
