Finally I am writing up my notes. I'm starting at the beginning. I'm putting my own ideas in red, not because I think I'm Jesus, but because...well because if I'm wrong, my theology or something, you won't think it's Bethel. You can blame me!

Day One:

Thankfulness: story of boy who was trying to dig to China, other mocked, he confessed he may not get there, but he opened up his hand and said, Look at all the treasures I found along the way!
Appreciating what God has done, and where you are because of it;
Contentment comes from your connection with Go throughout your day.
Who you are in God: Walking in it is like you are a song from Heaven; we all have our own song what is as unique as our DNA.
When you are being you and not trying to be someone else, you effect others to be themselves...you need to be you for them to be them, since we are a body
value one another's gifting; their gift makes your gift work
dont TRY to be amazing: be you! You are amazing!
watch out for envy
You don't have to push for your "big break"; God promotes based on faithfulness.
God highlights different people at different times for different reasons
Do the things in your life that God is highlighting you to do
have authority over the season you are in: sleeping through the storm, ie not letting the circumstances determine your ability to walk in authority and confidence in what God is doing

Bill Johnson:
The farther we go into God, the less we can take with us
He's not a tame lion, He's WILD

Thanksgiving is a responce to God's ACTS, praise is a responce to His WAYS. (Israel knew the ACTS of God, Moses knew His ways)
Commitment not to worship, but to HIM
Thanksgiving and praise are actions we can DO; we start here
Even if we don't feel like it when we start, once we do, we will!
To minister to Him we give HIm honor, and declair it! (Ps 115)
You always become like what you worship
You are the living sacrifce, more who you are than what you do
It is costly and not convenient
YET He desires compassion above sacrifice
"To exhalt"= to leap in the air with jumping and turning
A long time ago he didn't know thats what it meant, but in his quiet times he had started doing it because he read about David dancing and wanted to worship more like David. He suddenly felt like it jumping and turning! Next day he found out through his dad's sermon that's what exalt means.

Mark 5:2
"Legion" the most deamon possessed man in the bible WOSHIPED BEFORE HE WAS SET FREE
So, Satan doesn NOT have the power to stop our worship; only we do

When noone is looking we have encounters so that when everyone is looking you can be entrusted with encounters
David and lions(alone) David and Goliath (in view)
We choose His presence, the miracles, the healing because we choose HIM

Learn to live FROM the presence of God, not just from Kingdom principals (what God said, which is good, but not enough if void of realtionship)
When we turn our hearts, our affectinons to HIm His presnece manifests

The worship service must have: faith, compassion, and love for people

Worship is horizontal and vertical ( first a connection with God, then with the body)
Don't preach
Bring His presence
Look for the worship moment that accelerates the worhsip( that "key" that unlocks another relm of worship, the path that opens that you walk together further into the kingdom realities.)
