The Best Is Yet To Come
J.W. Arnold

The Best Is Yet To Come
•	The biggest, greatest, best, and the purest churches are yet to be built
•	The greatest saints are yet to walk this planet
•	The greatest sermons are yet to be preached
•	The greatest miracles are yet to come
•	God wants to change us and change us for the better

Continual Confrontation 
•	When God confronts you, He means to help you
•	God always deals one-on-one
•	God convicts; He pricks, and He digs 
•	Confrontation is the extension of Jesus
•	He spent His whole life confronting people

Confrontation Continued
•	Because He loves us, He digs deep and checks for the debris
•	He wants to set us free from stuff 
•	When He confronts us, His presence always accentuates our flaws
•	It brings quickly to our mind the remembrance of our failures

The Confrontation Process
•	When God deals with you, there is only room in that circle for two - You and Jesus
•	God will keep confronting you until somehow you get inspired with a desire to change

Our Vision Affects How We Behold Him
•	Out of every Divine confrontation you will always have a divided response
•	Some say He is the prophet; some say He is the Christ; others say it couldn't be the Christ

God’s Stance Is Confrontation
•	God is seeking worshipers, and it requires confrontation, exposure, and revelation
•	Don't become impatient with God's multiple confrontations with your life 
•	It is God's great desire, because He builds for eternity, to dig out debris and deal with the trash until finally we come clean
•	Confrontation is God's way to deal with the false in the flesh, for God forces us to face Him, to face ourselves, and to face others

Conviction Is Necessary
•	Confrontation usually produces conviction
•	Conviction is necessary for change
•	The purpose of confrontation is change; change that will produce true worship
•	Why would you want to change if you were never informed that you needed to be changed? 

The Result Of Confrontation-Confusion
•	"The Offspring of Confrontation is Always Confusion" 
•	God is not the author of confusion, but He becomes the revealer of our confusion
•	In the realm of confrontation with God and conviction with God, confusion always follows on the heels of confrontation because our concepts are not always right

No Basis Of Comparison In The Spirit Realm
•	You cannot build anything higher without a foundation
•	You must always progress from what is known to the unknown
•	In the spirit realm, we lack the basis of comparison
•	We must believe that He is what He has revealed Himself as

Confusion: The Birthplace Of Faith
•	Confusion is the birthplace of faith
•	Concepts confronted with the absolute truth will cause confusion
•	Confusion is never caused to bring delusion; the confusion is caused to bring deliverance from incorrect concept
•	Jesus confronted the Jews, and they clashed with Him because Jesus exalted people over precepts and practices 

Admit And Adjust
•	Because the Jews refused to admit and adjust, conflict arose and caused them to hate and hunt Jesus
•	Their rejection of Him did not change the truth 
•	As He confronted them, He confused them because He revealed their errors and their unwillingness to change

Be Open To Confrontation
•	Ask God to challenge and confront your concepts
•	If confusion comes with His presence, it means He is leading you beyond where you are

The Word Must Abide In You
•	Truth was a person before it was a precept
•	God is truth and has always been truth
•	He didn't change when He put His truth on printed page nor did He diminish
