Pastor Mark
How to win in life? đ
Matt 11:28-30 MSG
 âAre you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and youâll recover your life. Iâll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with meâwatch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I wonât lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and youâll learn to live freely and lightly.â
Unforced – not intend. Not irritated. Not frustrated
Godâs way is always unforced
Freely and lightly
1 John 4:16 NKJV
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Lives in love lives in God
The Training: My âWildernessâ Experience
passive active
God gives me, not i try to get it myself
Jesus died to give me, not I guard my body not to be sick.
It is not just new creation. We are a new being. We are not a sick being. We are a healthy being.
We do things in life intensively and we donât breathe.
Believing and working out is different

The Art of Slowing Down
Slow is smooth
Smooth is fast
Fast is deadly
Unforced rhythm of grace
Live in His love
Not just know but rely and believe in His love
Everything is not life and death
It is not a methodology but it is how to go back to Him and rely on Him
The detachment is because we donât see God in our life
In gym, the more relax, you can carry heavier
Pause. Pause first before doing
Calibrate your life
Breathe in and breathe out
Go back to the foundation. Everything go back to the grace. The unforced rhythm of grace
Live in God. Live in love
When you know you are loved, good mental health.
Play from the heart
We have Jesus. He came into our life and doesnât want us to burn out.
We are more than conqueror through Him who loves us
Habits is to always train yourself to think of Him
Everything change your identity first
Believe you are healthy first
The finished work tell us we already is healthy
We are in Christ
Life is walking with Him and enjoy Him
- The Call: Suddenly Facing Goliath
Enjoy the Lord in the process
A lot of times God always want us to have the right foundation first
Slow is smooth
We are more than conqueror through Him who loves us. It is not about the result. How we move with Him and walk with Him.
As my days so my strength is
The righteous will bear fruits in their old age
We are called to awake.
We have a spirit and mind and soul
We should walk the new creation in Christ
We got so much, we look forward more and more to life because we see Him!
We see ourselves in new creation
It is the mind that is important.
The Strategy:
The Spiritual Squat: Right Believing
Neuroplasticity: Rewiring Your Mind
Go back to foundation
Right living
Your body parts need to learn to be more mobile
We are called to be loved
Believe we are loved.
Believe we can walk with God together
Our heartbeat and mindset become restful
Renewing not removing your mind
We are not trying to get right living than right believing
In the new there is no old age
We will bear fruits
We donât conform to the world
Donât define yourself as old
Be kind to yourself
Good health happens to those who believe God loves them
Good future happens to those who believes God loves them
I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me
The race is not to the fast
Music: Called for More
So much more in our lives
The Lord has so much more for us
Stay in Him. This life will be awesome
Serendipity: When you know you are loved, good things happen to you
In everything challenges, go for holiday, you enjoy the moment
Everyday is precious
It is not the situation, it just exposes us. We are just irritated
Stay in love
There is much more in life
Good things happen
