ROI - Return on Intimacy
God wrote a plan in the heart of every person on earth. People come with their own guarantee of success in their metron. If we help them find their land and stay in their metron, they will be fruitful beyond expectations. It’s not the genius of my leadership or marketing; it’s a principle of the Kingdom – the way God wired all of us.
Sons go through stuff... It's normal. If something goes wrong, we assume we're wrong somehow and experience "shame." Deaths and resurrections are normal pathways for God to reveal His glory in His sons. Not pleasant, but afflictions will lead you to your purpose if you let them/Him. Jesus "endured" the cross for the joy set before him and despised the shame of it all. Purpose is what pulls us through disease, discouragement, and difficulty.

Where is the door, and what does it open? Jesus said it’s the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Get it? “Heaven” – That’s what sons do. They “go” to their Father’s house.
We usually translate communion as remembering the sacrifice of Jesus’ blood in the context of our personal forgiveness. We think of the drinking unworthily as coming to communion carrying unforgiveness against other people. We check this box by extending forgiveness other people before we take communion. We think of the bread in terms of participating in His Body – we check that box by going to church or being part of a small group. Not so fast – “bread” implies something much deeper.

Plastic smiles – We all know the rules, and we all know how to put on a happy face when the rules get broken. We also know what our hopes and dreams look like and we know how to hide the pain of their demise under the same happy face. The happy face looks about the same even when things go right. The only problem is future. Most of our hearts are well trained to expect mediocrity or worse. We can’t get too enthusiastic because that’s not the reality of our personal history.

We’ve heard a lot over the last few years that our identity is in Christ i.e., that we know who we are by understanding what Jesus did for us and can do through us. It’s all good, but few have a practical grasp on what that means. Most people interpret Christ in me as the flagship of God’s ability to work through us and empower us – Also good, but our hearts translate it as though the Father is doing the works or Jesus has finished the works and I don’t need to show initiative or have a plan. That would be too independent!
The truth is that we are all known by what we do. I was raised on a ranch in Montana and worked for a career as a chemical engineer. You can’t know John (anyone) unless your aware of what he does. The same is true in the spirit. We are known in heaven by what we do, not just what we’re called to do or think, or preach, or prophecy.

We are in a season where God’s people understand that His will can be found in the desires of our hearts. That’s how we define a King (connected to his/her heart’s desires). Traditionally, doing God’s business was always presumed to be sacrificing my will and picking up the cross of His will, laying down my life, dying to self, surrendering, emptying, more of you – less of me, etc. That mentality presumes an evil heart and sets us up for a lifetime of religious self-sabotage that drains our spiritual vitality. The Kingdom of God is within you (so is the Father, Jn. 14:10). We’re created in God’s image with specific unique gifts and talents for a specific assignment in the Kingdom. We’re already wired for our destiny. When we connect with what God has written in our hearts, we find a natural synergism with Jesus’ Kingdom, and we enter a new realm of fellowship with our Father.
Servants try to motivate, discipline, and hold themselves accountable to operate outside their hearts. We may start there as babes in Christ, but real maturity is finding the Father’s heart overlapping our own heart’s desires. It’s fun, it causes us to feel alive, and we can grow from one glory to the next for the rest of our lives into greater levels of fruitfulness.

We’ve developed two online courses to bring prophetic and practical clarity to your purpose, vocation or business and a success path to seeking the Father in the courts of heaven and the council:
These are the stories that came out of the first Heart Plan Online Course.

We are all adept at making excuses. Excuses have power because they are rooted in some aspect of truth or reality. They often stem from spiritual accusations. When we verbalize them, they sound prophetic in the same way accusations have a prophetic tone that is spoken over us, not just by us. Excuses are the spiritual language of those under the captivity of a victim mentality (that’s how they think). But I want to suggest it’s deeper than what we think. We are under a covenant from a prior compromise. The accuser doesn’t just throw out accusations randomly (he has a legal basis), and we don’t make excuses by accident (we’re stuck in unbelief and accept them). Inside the excuse, there is a thread that goes back to generational compromise that is undone in the Courts of Heaven. We don’t have to accept excuses! Sprinkling in a better attitude and a positive confession doesn’t address the root cause of excuses and accusations. That is accomplished in the courts of heaven.
Num. 13:33 – And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. KJV
Num. 14:6-9 – Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them. NIV
Amos 2:9 – I (the Lord) destroyed the Amorite before them, though he was tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below. NIV

Knowing your identity has been all the rage for the last few years because “who we are” is the foundation for what we believe and do. Although it is true, it’s not the whole story. Who you are (identity) is partly shaped by what you actually do. The theological and practical debate is well framed in the different translations of one verse;
In one camp, we are instructed to be like Mary instead of Martha and rest at the master’s feet and enjoy His presence (be in His house). Either He will do the works, or the works were finished at the cross. Us doing works is painted as a bit carnal, beneath the dignity of those who are truly spiritual. In the second camp, we are invited to co-labor with Him. It even goes one step further: intimacy is rooted in co-laboring with Him! You are my friend if you do what I command (Jn. 15:14). Great works and exploits are celebrated as fruit in this camp. They have jobs and businesses and a vision to bring heaven back to earth. Sons contend for nations.
