Field Notes of Sanctification

 Volume I: The Relentless Pursuit

​Chapter 1: A New Hunger

​I didn't used to be this way. I used to hang out with everyone; I was more social, more outgoing. But now, I just seek peace and joy most of the day long. This pursuit is addicting. The Bible says God is a consuming fire and a jealous God. He won't settle for just some of you; He wants the whole thing. I’ve never experienced anything like it. No matter how I react in my flesh, He just keeps pursuing me and bringing me back in. There is simply no escaping God.

​Chapter 2: The Pain of the Wash

​Sometimes, the process of being filled by God is painful. When He starts the work of washing and sanctification, you will undergo a lot of pain. You begin to see things inside of yourself that you don't like. It is an uncomfortable reality to face, but it is the only way to be truly cleaned from the inside out.

​Chapter 3: An Overnight Change

​Something was cured deep within my bloodline. That is the only way to explain why I was able to quit drinking and doing drugs overnight without even trying. The temptation that followed did not overcome me; it was way easier than I ever imagined or anything I had ever seen. When God moves in your life, the things that used to hold you can lose their power in an instant.

​Volume II: The Mechanics of Freedom

​Chapter 1: The Taste of Freedom

​No one can truly want freedom until they taste it. You have to experience the goodness of God in certain areas of your life first. Only then do you truly begin to crave freedom. Most people think their habits are "okay" or "normal" because they aren't used to the things of God. They put a cap on Him out of pride, believing that because they’ve never experienced anything better than their habit, nothing better exists. They stay content in their struggle only because they haven't seen the truth.

​Chapter 2: True Satisfaction

​The freedom I am referring to isn't just a decision to stop a certain behavior, like quitting a substance. It is actually being so full of God and His goodness that you are completely satisfied. You don't have to go back to those old habits to be satisfied anymore because you have found something better. This is something you cannot describe to people unless they feel it for themselves; it is entirely different from anything else.

​Chapter 3: The Reality of Experience

​I know this from firsthand experience and wouldn't even dream of speaking on it if it wasn't really that good. Why would anyone put themselves out there for people if it wasn't good? That is the very essence of sharing your knowledge of God. You want them to see what you have seen and see how good it actually is.

​Volume III: The Ministry of the Overflow

​Chapter 1: The Strength of Joy

​The joy of the Lord is our strength. If this walk didn't produce joy, we would have no strength or motivation to share it with anyone. If it didn't produce results, we wouldn't crave them for others. Joy is the engine that keeps the walk moving forward and gives us the energy to reach out.

​Chapter 2: The Reason We Preach

​When somebody comes to you and preaches, it's only because God is doing something so amazing and rich inside of them that it produces a wanting to share. They want you to experience the same thing. It is a natural reaction to the work of God; the richer the experience inside, the louder the voice outside.

​Chapter 3: The Hand in Hand Walk

​You cannot truly grow in God and not want to help other people get free. Those two things go hand in hand. If you have no motivation or desire to see others set free, then you yourself are receiving very little from God. The keyword is "satisfied." When you are truly walking with Him, you find that you want for nothing, and your only desire is to see that same freedom in others.

The Challenges of the Walk

 The Challenges of the walk Field Notes Volume I: Mechanics of Transformation ​The Process of Sanctification through Suffering Transformation is not a decorative change but a mechanical one. It is the systematic death of the carnal mind—the part of us that seeks comfort and self-preservation. This is the Divine Filter, where every thought and impulse is passed through the spirit to catch the impurities of the ego. ​We move from the "Brain" (the seat of logic and fear) to the "Spirit" (the seat of revelation). This is often experienced as Drinking to the Overflow—where the presence of God is so abundant it bypasses the analytical mind and pours directly into the soul. In this state, one becomes a Scapegoat Genius, bearing the weight of communal friction yet possessing the supernatural insight to navigate it through the lens of the cross rather than the intellect. ​Field Notes Volume II: The Challenges of the Walk ​The Cross of Inconvenience The walk is defined by the...

The Architecture of the Cloud: Designing the Death of the Carnal Mind.

  Field Notes: The Divine Filter & The Dark Cloud Volume I: The Divine Filter and the Thick Darkness The Architecture of the Cloud In the economy of the spirit, we often mistake darkness for absence. Scripture reveals a different mechanics of transformation: God chooses the dark cloud as His pavilion. "The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was." (Exodus 20:21) To the carnal mind, the cloud is an irritation—an obstruction to the "brain" that demands logic. But to the spirit, the cloud is a Divine Filter. It is the "silver liquid" that shields us from a glory that would otherwise consume the unrefined self. The Lazarus Paradox Entering the cloud is the ultimate "inconvenience of the cross." It feels like a burial, a "Lazarus Paradox" where the senses report death, yet the Spirit is being quickened. In this white-hot fire of the dark cloud: • The Scapegoat Genius is silenced. • The Morni...
