Hello Ladies of ATC, 

Kayla and I have led the financial and business affairs of KM Briggs, LLC since we were 20 years of age when we first got married.  Our businesses are an extension of our family unit.  From the very beginning we have always credited Jesus our savior and king as the reason for any success we have had over the last 16+ years.  The biblical virtue we have always held as the foundation of our house is order and cleanliness (Seder).  

The simplicity of cleaning and keeping things as ordered as we can is the root of our enterprises.  Kayla and I over the years never know what will come our way but one thing we always have a great deal of control over is the ability to honor God by keeping what he has gives us clean, orderly, and in good condition.  Our diligence to take care of the things God has given us allows him to send down more to us.  As the bible says, He who can be trusted with little can be trusted with much.  Therefore if we take care of the little more will be given.  This is a simple principle that Kayla and I have witnessed prosper the company since it's conception more than 15 years ago.  

Now I ask that you take the last week of October as an opportunity to prepare for the holiday season that will start after Halloween all the way through the first week of January.   Take this opportunity to clean your spaces as a offering to God to communicate your desire for a blessed holiday season and Christmas =)  

God bless you, 

Sincerely, 

Martin

Four Cups of Transcension: Reclaiming the Biblical Potential of Human Physiology

A history of phenomenal human ability is recorded in the Bible.  In ancient times, people were living supernatural lives!  We often focus on the spiritual journey of our biblical ancestors but very rarely, if ever, speak about the incredible human feats of physiological strength and stamina God gave to his closest friends on earth:  

- Ruth walked with Naomi from Moab to Bethlehem, approximately 50 miles
- Sampson was a one man army more powerful than the combined strength of 100 men
- Elijah ran at a full sprint pace for approximately 30 miles starting from the top of a mountain  
- It is said that Paul walked over 10,000 miles on three separate occasions
- Jacob wrestled with the angel of God for nearly an entire day
- Job lived an entire lifetime and then God blessed him with another 140 years of life on earth in the same body
- God first told Abraham at the age of 75 that he would have a baby with his wife Sarah.  They did not have that first child until they were 100 and 90 years old
- King David was a shepherd, often fighting off wolves and even lions. He then later became one of the greatest warriors of the Old Testament, which meant training drills and long durations of hard living
- Moses was almost 80 years of age before God began using him as his leader to save the people of Israel from the tyranny of the Egyptians.  Keep in mind that Moses climbed all the way up a mountain, did not eat or drink for forty days and then walked back down carrying two huge stone tablets

Are these abilities myth, legend, or reserved just for our ancient biblical heroes. Is it possible that God has a plan today that would allow ordinary people to accomplish extra-ordinary things.

A strong relationship with God leads to greater health outcomes

A tightly woven or well-formed relationship between God (spirit), our body, and soul is the key factor to seeing today what was witnessed thousands of years ago, throughout bible times

Four Cups: God's Timeless Promises for a Life of Fulfillment a book written by Pastor Chris Hodges explores the hidden gift of transcending.  Regaining our superhuman prowess requires that we move from where we are today in spirit, body and soul to where we were thousands of years ago (a stronger connection to our God and our own human functioning).  The Four Cups is another name for what is referred to as Seder, Passover, or Pesach which is the process by which we are able to become greater.  Pastor Chris explains the process to transcension is unlocked by tapping into the spiritual power of the four cups: the cups of salvation, deliverance, redemption, and fulfillment.  

Transcend: Process to Outcome
From a fitness perspective we take the concept of the Four Cups one step further, moving from process (salvation, deliverance, redemption, and fulfillment) to outcome.  The cups continue to provide separate functions in us but the cup names shift based on outcome from the process of the Four Cups as follows

CUP 1 salvation to purity
CUP 2 deliverance to strength
CUP 3 redemption to restoration
CUP 4 fulfillment to protection
  
Understanding and practicing the Four Cups of Fitness will not only bridge us toward achieving our short term health goals but also catapult us to transcend as a people to higher heights.

Scripture References: 

8 He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations, 9 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac. 10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant. Psalm 105:8-10 NIV

This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:28 NIV

“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them.  Mark 14:24

In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:25 (NIV)

Four Horns Scriptures: 
Exodus 27:2; ex 30:1-3; Rev 8:3-4; rev 9:13; Leviticus 16:18; Ezekiel 43:20; Leviticus 4:7, 16:18

Good explanation on Torah style Jewish wedding proceedings:

...The young man prepared a Ketubah, or marriage contract (or covenant) which he presented to the intended bride and her father. Included in this was the " Bride Price ", which was appropriate in that society to compensate the young woman's parents for the cost of raising her, as well as being an expression of his love for her.

"To see if the proposal was accepted, the young man would pour a cup of wine for his beloved and wait to see if she drank it. This cup represents a blood covenant. If she drank the cup she would have accepted the proposal and they would be betrothed (engaged). The young man would then give gifts to his beloved, and then take his leave. The young woman would have to wait for him to return and collect her."

Before leaving the young man would announce, " I am going to prepare a place for you ", and "I will return for you when it is ready". The usual practice was for the young man to return to his father's house and build a honeymoon room there. This is what is symbolized by the chuppah or canopy which is characteristic of Jewish weddings. He was not allowed to skimp on the work and had to get his father's approval before he could consider it ready for his bride. If asked the date of his wedding he would have to reply, "Only my father knows." Meanwhile the bride would be making herself ready so that she would be pure and beautiful for her bridegroom. During this time she would wear a veil when she went, out to show she was spoken for (she has been bought with a price)
