Bible Reading: Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42Owen looked up from his fishing tackle box and saw his friend Caleb coming up the driveway. They were going fishing that afternoon. "Hi, Caleb," Owen said. "Just checking to make sure all the lures and hooks are in order. I already checked my rod and dug up a bunch of worms. Mom fixed a lunch for us, so let's go!"Owen's thoroughness in preparing paid off. He almost always came home with a string of fish, and that day was no exception. But when Owen entered the house, his mom noticed he was unusually quiet. "Is something wrong?" she asked."Well, when Caleb and I were eating the lunch you sent with us, he asked me why I always bow my head and close my eyes for a few seconds before I eat," replied Owen. "I told him I was praying, and he asked why.""And what did you tell him?" asked Mom."I told him I was thanking God for our food. Then Caleb asked me about God and church and all sorts of things, and I didn't know what to say! I never thought about how to explain why we go to church or how I know God loves me. I just know, that's all!" Owen was obviously feeling frustrated."I see." Mom was thoughtful. "Do you know what it means to be a fisher of people?" she asked."Sure," Owen answered. "It means bringing others to Jesus. We talked about that in Sunday school.""Before you go fishing for fish, you always check your rod and tackle and, in general, prepare carefully," said Mom. "We need to prepare to fish for people too.""How do I do that?" Owen asked."Well, let's talk about the things Caleb asked you," said Mom. "Thinking through them will help you figure out how to explain God's love for us and why Jesus died on the cross for our sins." "Okay," said Owen. "Should we look up Bible verses about it too?""Yes, we should. Becoming familiar with God's Word is part of preparing to be a fisher of people. So let's prepare, and then when the chance comes, you'll be ready with an answer for Caleb--or for anyone else who asks." -Deborah S. MarettHow About You?What will you say if you're asked why you believe inJesus? Or why you go to church or read the Bible? Being familiar with your Bible and knowing where to locate verses about Jesus and what He did to save us will help prepare you for unexpected questions. It will help you become an effective fisher of people--one who can introduce friends to the love and grace of Jesus.Today's Key Verse:If someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. (NLT) (1 Peter 3:15)Today's Key Thought:Be ready to explain your faith

Matthew 13:54-58,NKJV- When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55, Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? 56, And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?” 57, So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” 58, Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Familiarity really does breed contempt (Scorn, disdain, depreciate, disrespect)Think about it, in our culture today, information is a very slippery slope. We assume because we’ve acquired a little info that we know what we’re talking about. No humility = unteachable I can’t help but wonder how many of us are guilty of this very thing when it comes to Jesus? Let’s help each other to not confuse information with faith. Let’s stay teachable. Think about it, because of the people’s familiarity with Jesus they allowed contempt instead of faith, they couldn’t see Jesus for who He was, because they had already concluded who He was and it limited what He could do miraculously. Here’s where I’m going with this, can the all powerful, almighty God be limited? Listen to Paul’s instructions from 1 Corinthians 10, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, but with most of them God was not pleased.Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Psalm 78 makes it clear that those of us that walk with God are to tell the next generation of His wonderful works so they won’t be like this stubborn, rebellious generation, that refused to trust God. In spite of all the miracles. It also reminds us of God delivering His people from Egyptian bondage, only to take them through the wilderness. The wilderness is that place where unbelief is sent to die. And at the same time, it’s the proving ground for our faith. Psalm 78:40-41,NKJV- “How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel.” KJV, “they turned back” When God's people continually disregarded His guidance, not only does it grieve Him, but when we rebel with unbelief, we actually limit Him. Here’s the question we all need to consider; could our unbelieving, our ungodly thinking limit what God wants to do in our lives today? Obviously we all do this to some degree in our faith journey. v. 42 tells us that God's people simply forgot about His power that rescued them. Familiarity = contempt What if we started asking God to show us areas where we limit Him? Then believe Him for a new level of boldness and confidence to step into new areas of faith that He shows us. For most of us, this revelation starts with a willingness to change how we think. We serve a limitless God, so start thinking limitless thoughts. I promise you, God wants to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ask or think. Just like any parent with their children, God wants His children to succeed in their lives. These great examples we read of in the Bible weren't written just to show us what God use to do back then. Remember Acts 10:34, Peter says, "I see very clearly that God does not show favoritism." Truth is, God is counting on every one of us being more of a reflection of His greatness. King David said, "We are fearfully and wonderfully made." So let's make our minds up that we're going to believe that God will stretch us, or in the words of Jabez; 1 Chronicles 4, Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory... and God granted him his request. Our key text in Psalm 78 clearly shows us that God wanted to do more than His people allowed Him to. Think about it, He wanted to bring them into the promise land that first year, not forty years later. But because of their unbelief it limited God from bringing them into the promise land. Listen to Hebrews 3, Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, and they tested me in the wilderness. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. Remember, the wilderness is where unbelief is sent to die. Unfortunately, the children of Israel show us that when unbelief doesn't die, it thrives. And the result is still the same today, it limits God. Numbers 13:1-2, 26-33,NKJV- Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them. 26, Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27, Then they told him, and said: We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28, Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29, The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan. 30, Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it. 31, But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. 32, And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33, There we saw the giants ( the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight. Every time we give place to the bad report it effects our faith, not only limiting the power of God that flows through us, but hindering us from accessing things God has already declared to be ours. Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; I believe God is patiently waiting for believers that will not only acknowledge the promised life He has for us, but be willing to take the necessary steps of faith to possess it. Romans 8:29,NKJV- For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Psalm 78, How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. Did their familiarity breed contempt? Think about all they saw. So let’s not let the enemy deceive us into thinking that simply being born again is all there is to the Christian life. None of that generation got to go in and experience God’s promised land. Philippians 3:12-14,NKJV- Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. In a talk like this it’s very important that we emphasize and focus on the reality that we are under the new covenant.Which hangs under the banner of God’s love. Unlike under the old covenant, He’s not mad at us. That being said, its still up to us to step into what He’s promised. Remember our example with Jesus and the people’s familiarity with Him? they allowed for contempt instead of faith, they couldn’t see Jesus for who He was, because they had already concluded who He was and it limited what He could do in their lives.I can’t help but wonder how many of us are guilty of this very thing when it comes to Jesus?
49 In this episode, I continue to teach out of Joshua and pick up the lesson inGet access to the entire 12-part Christian Podcast Bible Study Lesson Joshua 6 :7-10And he said to the people, "Proceed and march around the city, and let him who is armed advanced before the ark of the Lord." So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the Lord advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. Now Joshua has commanded the people saying, "You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout! Then you shall shout."If you remember from the previous episode, Jesus came and gave Joshua his "marching orders" and He didn't say anything about the people having to be quiet.I believe Joshua knew his people and as their leader, he knew it would be best if they didn't open their mouths.He was using his experience from when 40 years earlier he was one of the 12 who was sent to spy out the lane.Numbers 13:1,2And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them."13:17-20And a return from spying out the land after 40 days. Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains, and see what the land is like whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds;whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.13:25 And they return from spying out the land after 40 days.13:27-33Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan."Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants) and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we were in their sight."

They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan. ” Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. Number 13:26-32
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” Number 13:30Where can we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.” Deuteronomy 1:28Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

The Impact of the Tongue. When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of forty days, they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh, and brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the land's fruit. They reported to Moses and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. But the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified (walled) and very large; moreover, we saw there the descendants of Anak [people of great stature and courage]. [The people descended from] Amalek live in the land of the Negev (South country); the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the [Dead] Sea and along the side of the Jordan.” Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession of it; for we will certainly conquer it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people [of Canaan], for they are too strong for us.” So they gave the Israelites a bad report about the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we went, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:25-33 AMPThen a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the [tassel] fringe of His outer robe; for she had been saying to herself, “If I only touch His outer robe, I will be healed.” Matthew 9:20-21 AMP --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pastor-lucy-paynter/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pastor-lucy-paynter/support

Jim & Shonda Davis Numbers 13:1-3 Spies View the Land13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, 2 “Send out for yourself men so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers’ tribes, every one a leader among them.” 3 So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran at the [a]command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel.Numbers 13:17-33 17 When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he said to them, “Go up [a]there into the [b]Negev; then go up into the hill country. 18 See what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many. 19 How is the land in which they live, is it good or bad? And how are the cities in which they live, are they [c]like open camps or with fortifications? 20 How is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? [d]Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.21 So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, [e]at Lebo-hamath. 22 When they had gone up into the Negev, [f]they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the [g]descendants of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)23 Then they came to the [h]valley of [i]Eshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs. 24 That place was called the valley of [j]Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.The Spies’ Reports25 When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of forty days, 26 they proceeded to come to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel [k]in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Thus they told him, and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.28 Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the [l]descendants of Anak there. 29 Amalek is living in the land of the Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.”30 Then Caleb quieted the people [m]before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.”32 So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its [n]inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. 33 There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”Faith + God + You = Enough
Pastor Jeffrey Cranford discusses that there is a certain point in every believer's life that necessitates the use of our gift to keep on maturing. We must all enter the "battle for souls." Numbers 13:30 - Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.”
June 30, 2019 "Today is THE Day" Series: Ordinary: Finding God in the day-to-day Psalm 95: 6-8 Numbers 13:30-33 The Rev. Cole Altizer 6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; 7 for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice, 8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a] as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness, 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
Grasshoppers, Giants, & Gray Hairs! 11.13.18 Caleb - “Now, therefore, give me this mountain...” Joshua 14:12 There’s A Big Difference Between A Promise And A Possession. Everyone Gets God’s Promises, But Only A Few Ever Take Hold Of God’s Possession For Their Lives.How Did Caleb Possess God’s Mountain: He Overcame Grasshoppers - Numbers 13:31-14:4 (...I had to overcome grasshoppers once...)“...and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” Num. 13:33 (KJV) 31But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t...” (List Verses on slide: Table Is Only For Saving Space In My Notes)1raised their voices… wept 3Our wives and children will be taken…32And they spread among the Israelites a bad report…” 2All the Israelites grumbled… “If only we had died in Egypt!...”4“We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we shall surely overcome it.”Num. 13:30(What do you do With Grasshoppers… Georgia Grasshoppers…He Overcame Giants - Deuteronomy 1“And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants…” Numbers 13:33 (KJV) How Small Are You Compared To Your Giants? The OUTLOOK of FEAR! How Small Are Your Giants Compared To God? The UPLOOK of FAITH! Deuteronomy 1:28-31 (NIV)...Our brothers have made our hearts melt in fear. They say, ‘The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.’ ” 29Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. 30The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, 31and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” He Overcame Gray Hairs - Joshua 14:6-13 (NIV) Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb... said to him... 7“I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart. 8“Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the LORD my God fully. 9“So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God fully.’ 10“And now behold, the LORD has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today. 11“I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in. 12“Now then, give me this hill mountain about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the LORD has spoken.” 13So Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.*When God Makes A Faith Promise, He Will Give You The Strength To See It Become A Faith Possession.*Never Count God Out!

LIVING BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE SERIES BIO: The Biblical narrative implies that a normal relationship with God includes miracle interventions. This is promised through Jesus' teachings, creating a vision that "all things are possible" to those who walk with God. If the miraculous, rising above even impossible situations, is the normative for the Christian, then how are we to activate such realities? How are we to encounter God, live in greater freedom and see Bible-level miracles happen for us? This Sunday we begin a several week series of teachings that will inspire, impact and infuse God's great heart of hope. MATTHEW 17:20 NKJV [Jesus said] …for assuredly, I say to you, if you have FAITH AS A MUSTARD SEED, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU. MARK 9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, "If you can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS [ARE] POSSIBLE to him who BELIEVES." TODAY HEBREWS 4:1-3 TPT Now God has offered to us the same promise of entering into his realm of resting in CONFIDENT FAITH. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all EMBRACE THE FULLNESS of that PROMISE and NOT FAIL TO EXPERIENCE IT. 2 For we have heard the good news of deliverance just as they did, yet THEY DIDN’T JOIN THEIR FAITH WITH THE WORD. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply, for they doubted. 3 For those of us who believe, FAITH ACTIVATES THE PROMISE and we EXPERIENCE the realm of confident rest! NUMBERS 13:17-33 NIV 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and TAKE POSSESSION of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him SAID, “WE CAN'T attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a BAD REPORT (KJV – “EVIL REPORT”) about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored DEVOURS those living in it. All the PEOPLE WE SAWthere are of GREAT SIZE. 33 … We seemed like GRASSHOPPERS in our own eyes, and WE LOOKED THE SAME TO THEM.” VERSE 30 - KJV – “Let us go up at once, and POSSESS IT; for WE ARE WELL ABLE to overcome it.” NUMBERS 14:1 NIV That night ALL THE PEOPLE of the community raised their VOICES AND WEPT ALOUD. 2 ALL THE ISRAELITES GRUMBLED against Moses and Aaron… 10 But the WHOLE ASSEMBLY TALKED ABOUT STONING THEM. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people TREAT ME WITH CONTEMPT? How long will they REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN ME (KJV – “DESPISE ME”)…? …24 But because MY SERVANT CALEB has a DIFFERENT SPIRIT and FOLLOWS ME WHOLEHEARTEDLY, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it… 7 LESSONS LEARNED: The PROMISED LAND is a symbol of God’s greatest blessings. There will be OPPOSITION to receiving God’s promises. Don’t follow POPULAR OPINION when it opposes God’s Word. Cut the “DRAMA” and ask, “What did God say?” A DIFFERENT SPIRIT will create a different outcome. The FAITH PROCESS PROMOTES you to better opportunities. YOU can limit God, or YOU can turn God’s power loose. Psalm 78:41 KJV Yea, they TURNED BACK and TEMPTED GOD, and LIMITED the Holy One of Israel. TAKE ACTION / ACTIVATE: STEP 1: What IMPOSSIBLE things would you like to EXPERIENCE with God? STEP 2: How will you ACTIVATE GOD’S WORD so you can EXPERIENCE God’s Promise?
November 22, 2017 | Wednesday Fellowship Service (+Abp. Ricardo Alcaraz) Topic: Contending For God’s Plans & Purposes For Your Life Number 13:30 – Then Caleb …
Numbers 13:1-33 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Send some men to explore the land of Canaan,which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders.” So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin as far as Rehob,toward Lebo Hamath. 23 When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs.24 That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. 25 At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land. 26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey!Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.” 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”Support the show (http://www.sanctuarychurch.nyc)
Click above to listen in iTunes... Russell Brunson, Justing and Tara Williams, Caleb Maddix, Emily Shai, Trey Lepelen, Jason Fladlien, Darren Stephens, and Setema Gali... What's going on everyone? This is Steve Larsen and you're listening to Sales Funnel Radio. This is day number two from Funnel acting live. These are the things that I learned, the things that I loved. You're going to get a front row seat here on some of the things that, behind the scenes, of the things that I thought were awesome during Funnel acting live day number two. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best internet sales funnels. And now, here's your host, Steve Larsen. What's so funny is that, we brought in so much energy. We wanted everyone to be in a state to receive, and to learn, and to be there, and to grow and develop that by day number two, my voice was already shot. It's actually been this way for several days. Anyway, it's slightly painful actually but that's okay. Okay, so the first day, if you haven't listened to it, I would go back and listen to it before you listen to this. Because there's a lot of foundational things that were said in day one. The conference was meant to build on itself. I would listen to day number one before you listen to this. We're just going to jump right into it. We get in there, we're all fired up and stoked up. They had me as a VIP badge checker. Just so you know, inner circle, certified partners, anyone else who's kind of in the VIP area, they sit in the front seats. And I was a bouncer. It was a lot of fun. I really, really enjoyed it. I got to meet tons of you guys again. I took a lot of selfies, it was a lot of fun. It was a fun time, guys. Just like I'd said in the other one, very touched and humbled by the amount of people who came up and said hi and thanks for the podcast. Guys, that fuels me. You know what I mean? This entrepreneurial journaling is not easy for anybody. It was really nice to hear that from you guys. It was just nice. It was very nice. Especially the guys who brought gifts. Man, that was just ... that put me on the floor. That was so nice of you guys. I really appreciate it. Anyway, man, today was so nuts. Or, day number two was. It was Wednesday, February 22nd, 2017. The day before was all about marketing strategy, and how to sell without selling. Day number two was all about the funnels. What we did is, we brought in all these experts in different industries. We know the majority of you guys are in MLM, or e-commerce, or you're an author, speaker, coach, consultant, or you're in retail, you're a brick and mortar. You fit in these certain categories, so what we wanted to do was bring in people who were using funnels in those industries that you could hear from. That's what day two was all about. What happened is Russell came up and we did a presentation called Follow-Up Funnels. We were thinking about what happens when somebody comes in to one of our own funnels. We had John, who does our traffic, he went in and he ran some numbers. We found out ... it was pretty cool, because Russel showed all of our actual numbers. He's like, "Okay, here's all of our funnels during the month of just this last December. Just two months ago." And he said, "Okay here, you notice ..." And he went through all these funnels and they're profitable, and they're profitable, and they're profitable. He was showing the actual numbers. Opt-ins, cash, revenue, profit on marketing a car and Funnel University, and all these different things on all the front-end funnels. What was so funny, we realized when we were looking at him, we were like, "Man, how does ... how are we making money?" We didn't ask that question. We obviously crafted this on purpose. This is just how we presented it. It's like, "Wait a second. We pulled in only like 17 thousand dollars in front end funnels on December." We're like, "What the heck?" And Russell goes, "Wait a second, are you telling me, Russell, that you're running a multi, multi, multi million dollar business, but you only pulled in 17 grand in December? How is that even possible?" You know what I mean? It's like, "What the heck?" We went through and we found out that for every dollar that we are gaining on those front-end funnels turns into 16 dollars in the back-end. We wanted to do this because we realized that a lot of you guys, what you're getting stuck on, is you go out and you build this tripwire funnel, right? This front-end funnel. You will expect it to make you beaucoups of money, right? That's cool. That's true. Somewhere though, the customer has to be bought. Whether it's with your time, you have to buy the customer, or actual money with ads and stuff like that, you have to buy the customer. Somewhere, a customer will be bought. What we do then, is those front end funnels is how we buy the customer. We call them break-even funnels. They're not to make money. What they're supposed to do is get us a customer, get them buying something, and then recoup costs by selling them products and/or other services... So, we break even on the front-end with these funnels, but then it's all on the back-end. It's all these huge follow-up sequences that we have going on. I'm not talking about email sequences. Okay, that's one of the elements. But massive, massive things that have everything to do with actionetics. All the stuff that we put in behind turns into 16 dollars after we bring in one dollar. Now, the hardest scenario for you guys to make a whole bunch of money in is by making a front-end funnel ... okay, listen to me ... is to make a front-end funnel only. Some of you guys are like, "Well, I'm making money, but not much." Well then you're done. Move to the next step. Make a webinar. Make an invisible funnel. Make something. Ascend them to the next level on the ... you know what I mean?... Don't try and make all this money from your tripwire front-end funnels. We call those break-even funnels. We only made 17 grand ourselves in December on that, but we turned all that money into 16 dollars per dollar, right? Ascend. Age and ascend. It's one of the most important elements of your strategy, okay? He went through and he started showing how we use all this stuff. We're like, "Hey look, if you're all in, you'll be able to kill it with this thing." It was so cool. People ran and sprinted to back before he was even done. He was like, "We're not like, hard-selling anything. Just so you guys know." I think he pitched one thing the whole time. That's not the point of these conferences. The point is not for us to make money, either. We barely break even on these babies. You know how expensive it is to through an event like this? It was massive. Oh my gosh, it was so massive. We barely break even on them, and it's to help all of you guys get the tactics down, the strategies down. He first went into fallout funnels, and we did kind of like a state of the union, and showed some cool things and new features that are coming out that are just ... oh my gosh, they're mind boggling. I'm sure we're going to have to come up with a list of all the cool things we talked about there, because there's no way I could do it here. I mean, it was like an hour presentation, and people were on their feet going nuts. It was the coolest thing. Oh my gosh... Then we had a little break. And then, Justin and Tara Williams came up, and they talked about podcast funnels. They talked about how their entire multimillion dollar business has been built using podcasts. I've talked to Russell personally about this before and he's like, "Dude, the reason why podcasts are so good ..." You're on it right now. The reason why podcasts are so good is because the kind of person that listens to a podcast is usually someone who's a more active, proactive individual in their life. If I was to put a YouTube ad up, typically people who congregate around YouTube, they only want things that are free. Or, they might not be action-takers. They just want to be purely entertained. If you're on a podcast, you are deliberately trying to accelerate your life, and I applaud you for that. That's what you're doing right now. I'm trying to give you guys some cool strategies and little insights on what happened in there. Anyways, they came through, and they ... like, "Hey look, we built our entire empire using podcasts. You've got to go in there and you've got to be able to deliver great value, but don't get hung up on it." They gave a lot. It was so good. My dad was actually at the conference. I was able to get in and get him a seat. He was like, "Oh my gosh, that was the coolest thing I've ever heard." He started a podcast before yesterday was even over. It was so cool. He had the first 20 episodes planned. It was super cool. Super cool. Then we had Caleb and Emily Shay come in. Just so you guys know, Emily is like eleven. She wrote her own book. It was book on how to have the perfect sleepover. She's a cute little girl. She calls herself princess of the pitch, and she was standing up. She had the whole crowd laughing. She was a total natural. My gosh, it was so cool. She was teaching us all about what this whole funnel game is really about. She wrote that book and then she sold it door to door and made 20 grand. What's your excuse?... I was like, "Oh my gosh." She's like, "I knew I could target people at car dealerships even better." So she would hang out at car dealerships and sell her book on how to have a perfect sleepover to all the kids that would come in. I was like, "Holy crap." Little marketing genius. That's amazing. What was I doing when I was twelve? I think I was picking my nose or something. I don't know. What the heck? Oh my gosh, she was great. She talked about it's not about making money. This about your power and your ability to make a difference. Sometimes you make a funnel, and sometimes the funnel makes you. Sometimes it just sucks, and sometimes it makes money. It's all about the repetition, and wanting it, and fighting for it. It was really ... I was like, crazy impressed with the amount of wisdom that came out. You're not too small for your dreams, and your dreams are not too big for you. It was really cool. I came in. I wrote down a whole bunch of things she was saying. I was like, "Do you know what you're saying? You're like twelve and you're killing it." You know what I mean? This is really really impressive. You and your kids are just one funnel away. That was really, really cool. Then Caleb came in and he smashed it. Caleb is an outstanding, just incredible speaker. I really, really enjoyed listening to him as well. Very impressive individual. He's spoken with Gary V. and he's been on the news like crazy. He's fifteen. Just so you guys know, he's fifteen. He's killing it. He's written four books, been all over the news, he's done a TED talk. It was crazy cool, crazy cool. Been with Tai Lopez, hanging out with him. Been with lots and lots of huge people. For what he's done as a fifteen year old is insane. Most of it he did when he was fourteen. But a lot of it was because of his dad. He went through, and he showed how his dad wouldn't give him money for certain things he wanted, and instead taught him how to build a business, and get it that way. It's really, really cool. His dad wouldn't pay him for doing chores, and instead taught him how to do business stuff. It was really, really cool. It was fantastic. The first secret he gave to us was that you got to work your face off. Just work like crazy. Number two is give like crazy. He said, "Give your face off." Just give and give and give, and be charitable to all people. It's always about the individual. It's never about the money. It was cool to know that he was being genuine about it. It was so cool. Very inspiring. People were tearing up in the audience, man... It was really, really cool. Right now he said he's experimenting with doing the perfect webinar script, but inside of a game show. He's like, "You're not going to get kids inside of this webinar, just watching it." So, he's making a game show. It's really clever. Probably going to interview all those guys here in a second, and put them on the podcast. Anyway, really cool. Then we had Trey Lewellen come in. Gosh, if you guys know who Trey is, this guy made ... I don't think I'm at liberty to say the numbers. But, he is the person who's made the most money using click funnels ever. He also has the world record for offer that has made the most money in the shortest amount of time. There's been no offer ever, in the history of the world, that has brought in the amount of money. Insane, ridiculous amount of money. We're not talking just a million or two million dollars. This is a lot of money. I don't think I can say more than that. He came in and he showed us some really interesting numbers. He showed us funnelitics. He showed you, literally get a product in these price ranges. Aim for these types of conversions. Once you've got that, then you can do this. And then once you've got those conversions and these numbers, then it's time to implement these things. It was very tactile, very awesome. He basically gave the road map on how to make a million bucks. It was so cool... Something he said in there was very key, and I wanted to bring it up here. He said, "Any time you add another product to what you're selling, you immediately 12X the complexity in your business. Immediately." He said, "People say to me all the time, 'How did you make that much money? Do you just have like, thousands and thousands of skews and products, and things that you're seeling all the time?'" He's like, "No, we got like, 20." It's like, what? 20? That's it? He went through and he showed how simplicity inside of what you're trying to sell is better. Don't try and do this and this and this. He would build one funnel a week to just see what works. Just a little more of the backstory, because I know him. The guy is awesome. I've gotten to talk to him a lot, actually. He's the man. He said, "I would launch a funnel. One per week. Just to see what would work. Then, when one would stick, I'd abandon the ones that didn't work, and put all my focus and energy to the one that did break even." They would make it profitable with a few little tweaks that he showed us. That's how I'd blow it up. Then, I'd automate it. Get a little customer support in there. Then, find a relatable product that I could upsell them to after they got done with the first one. I'd build a funnel a week... It was really, really interesting. He's like, "Every time you do that though, you literally ... the number is, you will 12X the complexity and stress inside your business do to all the customer service, and support, and all the extra processing, and all the extra stuff that goes into a single product." I was thinking about it, and I was like, "Crap. I'm selling too many things. I know I am. I'd rather just focus on one or two, get extra good at it and then ..." I've got some big announcements after I'm done with this little series on ... Then, right after that, Jason Fladlien came in. Jason is the Amazon funnel expert. He has made over a 100 million dollars in the last couple of years using Amazon. You'd think, "What the heck? How does that even work?" It was so cool. I mean, it was so cool. He came through, and he showed us how he's taking ... He has his product on Amazon, obviously. He's like, "Guys, for every dollar that is spent on the internet, 25 cents of it is going through Amazon right now. Do you know how many buyers that is?" He's like, "I can make a million dollars selling ketchup, or something stupid." There's so many, and they go to Amazon with the intent to purchase... The stat right now is that like 83 percent, or something like that. It was huge. I think he said it was in the 80s. 83 percent of people make a purchase per month in the US. Isn't that crazy? 83 percent of people make a purchase per month in the US on Amazon. That's nuts. That's so many buyers. He's like, "And, it's increasing." It's the most insane thing ever. He's like, "So I totally hacked Amazon. What I do, is I take the image of the product that I'm selling. I put it on top of a ..." He showed us the exact strategy. He showed us the seven strategies that he's using. He walked through all seven funnels, showed exactly how they're working. I was like, "Holy crap. I've never even heard of this." It blew my mind, and I'm pretty immersed in the funnel world. I was like, "This is the coolest thing ever." He went through, and he showed how his product is on Amazon. He takes an image of it and he puts it on a click funnels page. He basically sends people to it. He sells it a little bit, but he said, "The less copy on selling physical products through Amazon actually converts higher than more copy." I was like, "Oh, that's a cool tip. Thank you." He's like, "And it's easier, which is awesome." He's like, "So then what I do is I say, 'Hey'..." He acts like it's a product launch. When people go there, there's a coupon code they can download... Well, when you click download coupon code, a pop-up with an opt-in form comes in. That's how he gets your email address, right? Because, Amazon keeps all the emails. So, when they put the email address in, the second page has the coupon code. He just walks people through how to buy the product. So, they take the coupon code. They'll go to Amazon. They'll search for the product, which boosts his ranking like crazy inside of Amazon's algorithm. Then, they'll go inside there, search for the product, pull it on up, buy it with the coupon code, and it scratches so many backs, it's ridiculous. Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe what he was doing. He's like, "Now I got their email for follow-up purchases of the same type of product or same product. It's the craziest thing on the planet. Amazon fulfills it. If they got Amazon Prime, it's like free shipping. I don't have to worry about that crap. It was really cool. He's leveraging what Amazon's doing. That was worth it all just right there. He showed seven different variations of strategies of when to use which. It was really cool. That was awesome. Then, Darren Stephens stood up, and he showed us event funnels, and how he throws events like crazy. Just so you guys know, you may not know who Darren Stephens is. He has helped author some of the best selling business books on the plant. Darren's a very impressive individual. One of the most well-connected individuals I've ever met in my life. Just insane, what he does. I'll stop there on that. But, he has gone and made, several times, one to two million dollars at a live event with only 80 people in the room. Think of the numbers on that. So, what he did is he goes through ... Okay, one to two, even 2.5, I think was the biggest one he did, million dollars in a couple days with only 80 people in the room. Think of the numbers that that takes. That's insane. He went through, and he showed the strategies that he uses. Very subtle cues and techniques. Ways to keep the brain engaged while you're talking to a live audience. Very subtle, little things that you do. They may not seem that big, but he's like, "They make all the difference in the world. Because I get them with me before I'm even pitching anything." It was cool. Then we had a little break. Then we had Setema come up and share ... Gosh, if you guys don't know Setema, he won the Superbowl with the Patriots. He showed some really fantastic stuff. He went through, and he started showing. He's like, "Okay. My job here is to show you guys how to implement, and to get things done in your life." And he said, "Number one, you've got to get clear about what you want in your life. You gotta declare it." He showed some really powerful examples. He's like, "I'm not just telling you to say, 'Well, I want to make money.'" He's like, "No, you've got to get clear. When you're clear, you don't go hang out with your buddy, okay? You make your business happen. When your clear, you give up a little bit of time here, you know? You start doing ridiculous sacrifices." He gave some very powerful, tear-jerking examples... I won't lie, I don't cry. But man, there was like three times at this event I was like, "Holy crap." Not just with Tony Robins. Setema is one of them. I want to go learn from him. I'm actually going to go find ... I don't know if he's got a course or what. But, I want more of that. It was cool. He said, "Number two, the story I believe most about myself is the story that I tell most to myself." He's like, "If you want to change yourself, just change the story you keep telling yourself." He's like, "That sounds really simple. And, it is, but it's harder to implement than I'm saying." Meaning, I'm too slow, I'm too fat, I'm too this, I'm too that, I'm too scared, I'm not good enough on the camera, I'm not good enough to do a webinar, I'm this. He's like, "Then you're never going to freaking do it." You have to change the story that your telling yourself. Really cool. Number three was have a holy cause, right? Just take ridiculous, imperfect actions. Stop trying to make it perfect. The things that he was saying were so ... I mean, it was good. It was really, really good. It was calling to a very entrepreneurial ADD person like myself. Really awesome. I got to keep moving a little bit faster here. The day's almost over. Then we had Two Comma Club awards. These are the people who made a million dollars inside of click funnels. Just think about this ClickFunnels is only a two or three year company, right? We've had about 100 people make a million dollars in a single funnel with ClickFunnels. You don't have those types of ratios in any other industry. MLM doesn't give that to you. Nothing else gives that to you. Really interesting. Just do what Russell says. You look at all the people that were standing up there getting a Two Comma Club award, they were doing what Bran and Caleb did. They paused the video. They did what Russell said. Then, they played it and they paused the video. They did it. It's very, very cool. Then Russell did a presentation about how you're only one funnel away, and he brought us through his actually story from college. All the intense ... Oh my gosh. I already respected Russell like a brother. I've told him that many times. I look up to him like that. It's cool to sit next to him. Really cool. But man, you guys, that man cares about you. I already knew that, but I listened to what he went through to get where this all is right now. He doesn't share the whole thing much. I don't know if there's a dry eye in the audience. It was very humbling to realize that I got to sit there. I already was humbled knowing that, but I mean, everyone else in the audience was thinking the same thing. It was so crazy. Then after that we had a ... All I'm saying is, if you were at the event, please tell Russell thank you. Even on social media. I got a few gifts from you guys that you wanted me to bring to him. That's really nice of you all, so I'm obviously going to do that. But, just say thanks to him. The guy obsesses over your success, and I don't know any other business with a CEO that does that. Please show who that is. Then we had a sweet hackathon. It was very similar to the roundtable before. I was out there mapping out stuff with you guys, and answering some of the questions. It was so freaking fun. You guys are my people, man. You hackathon people. Oh my gosh, I love it. We got an even in Boise. A new even in Boise. I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag a little bit, though. Just watch social media, you guys will see what's happening. I'm really stoked, because you guys get to come hang out with Russell and me for three days, and we build out your funnel with you. By the time you're done, and by the time you leave, you have an entire webinar done. The script, you've actually done it live. You have the entire funnel complete. You have several variations that you can get it done. We've recrafted the entire message. It has nothing to do with the product, like I was saying in the previous episode. It has everything to do with the way you put the message together. We rewrite your message. Russell is an expert copy writer. He doesn't always it himself. Actually, he does. Never mind. He does do all the copy. I forgot about that. I'll go through, and I'll write it, and usually ... I'm getting better at the copy writing part. He actually doesn't tweak as much of my stuff now, but he is a great copy writer. We go through. We write it all. We put it all together, and it's three days. Very soon here, you will have to do that before you're even allowed to get into the inner circle. We're taking the whole inner circle through this course, because we realized that the inner circle was struggling with the same sets of things, which is the whole reason we created the event. In the future, whether or not you go into the inner circle, you'll have to go through it as a lock gate to even apply. He's going to be able to elevate what he does within a circle even higher. It's going to be awesome. Giving you even more stuff. Anyways, guys, that's day number two. Thank you so much for sticking around, I know this is a lot of stuff. You guys are all awesome. Appreciate everything you guys are doing. Again, go get the ticket for next time. Day one was all about market strategy. Day two was all about the funnels. Day three is all about personal development. It will be a shorter podcast next time, because I don't even know how to capture the things that Tony Robbins taught us. I had never seen him before, and I know that everyone rants and raves about him. I was going with an open mind. I was like, "Cool. This is going to be awesome. I'm sure it's going to be great." But, I had no idea the level. I'm going to do that for the next episode, here. That's kind of my run through on all these amazing dudes. All right, bye. Thanks for listening to Sales Funnel Radio.

Faith Speaks – You're a Mountain Mover1. Faith Speaks - Operating in the God Kind of FaithMk 11:20-23 Now in the morning, as they passed by and saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.Heb 11:3 By faith we know that the worlds were made by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.God said what he believed and wanted and he saw what he said We are made in God's image and this is how He expects us to operateGen 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over all the earthRom 10:10 “The word is in your mouth and in your heart” (this is the word of faith we preach) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (No devil in hell can stop this powerful combo)2. Faith and Speaking Were Designed By God To Change ThingsProv 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongueMatt 12:36-37 For by your words you will be justified (released), and by your words you will be condemned (remain in Bondage).”We are living today in what we said yesterday, and tomorrow is waiting to hear what you say today Its not what others say that is the deciding factor, its what do you sayThe spirit of faith speaks and calls things that don't exist into existenceRomans 4:17 “I have made you a father of many nations” in the presence of Him whom he believed God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they already existed Josh 1:8 This Book of instruction shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may obey all that is written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.Be very careful for those negative reports, satan is trying to get his evil report of unbelief in your heart to destroy your futureNum 13:30-31 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored.
