Sharpening the Saw of the Soul — Episode 3

From Treading Water → Trusting Christ → Walking on Water → Doing Greater Works

Sharpening the Saw of the Soul — Episode 3

A man sharpening both his edge and his spirit—preparing for greater works in Christ.

Good morning, sons and daughters of the Most High.

This morning the Spirit repeated the same message to me:
Sharpen the saw.
Establish daily feedings—or watch the blade go dull and the soul go weak.

My daily feedings (now non-negotiable):

  • Move the body
  • OMAD with intention
  • Come Follow Me + daily Book of Mormon
  • Best books, recorded and applied
  • Daily publishing while the iron is white-hot

Yesterday Hormozi lit me up—not because I want to be Hormozi or Golden, but because it reminded me:

It’s time to stop following gurus and …

start being the son of God I already am.

I know the meaning of life.
You are offspring of the Almighty, here to prove His law by living it so fully that you inherit everything He has.

Laser-focused on His glory →
hearken to the Light of Christ →
receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost →
enter the fire of the covenant →
walk with constant companionship →
be perfected in Christ, one with Him as He is with the Father.

And that path includes doing greater works than Jesus Himself
not from ego,
but from faithful stewardship over the few things until we are given many.

Because by small and simple things are great things brought to pass.


This Morning’s Prayer (KRP)

19 Nov 2025 — 5:42 AM MST

The practices that keep the soul sharp and the covenant burning.

I prayed:

“Oh God… I am delighted to be alive and to prove Thy law… bless me to multiply talents, to publish daily, to be a stellar salesman and a stellar dad.”

And He answered:

“Kent, My son—consistency is power. Take care of your spirit and body first, and I will give you power to publish and impact nations. I am pleased. I endow you with ever-increasing domain and greater access to the powers of heaven as you live correct principles and draw near to Me. I am here.”

That isn’t theory.
That was this morning.


Life Was Designed to Be Easy — Why Do We Make It Hard?

Virtue garnishes thought; the Light of Christ sharpens the edge of the soul.

From my 10 Sept 2025 journal recording:

We take something ultra-simple and complicate the living daylights out of it—
because we’re trying to figure life out with our own muscle instead of surrendering to the One who already mapped it, planned it, prepared it, and paid for it.


Babylon vs Zion — One Sentence

Same sunrise. Two hearts. Two kingdoms. One built to get. One built to give.

Both build walls.
Both create beauty.
Both live laws.

But Babylon obeys to get.
Zion obeys to give—so there are no poor among them.

The rich young ruler kept every law from his youth—
yet walked away sorrowful because his heart was still on retainer for himself.

William Law’s dying merchant admitted:

“If I had spent one-tenth the energy on holiness that I spent on commerce, I would not be terrified of what comes next.”

Every guru, titan, and influencer eventually faces that moment when the lights go out.


What Actually Crosses the Veil With You?

Not your bank account.
Not your follower count.
Not even your six-pack.

Only:

  • Light and knowledge
  • Consecrated relationships
  • The love you gave away
  • The talents you multiplied for His glory

Everything else is Monopoly money the moment your eyes close.


The Law of Eternal Increase

Light cleaves to light; intelligence grows into greater intelligence. From spark → lamp → star → sun, the soul ascends in glory.

Small obedience → more light
More light → more stewardship
More stewardship → more power
More power → greater works

Say “I have enough” and watch it vanish.


From Treading Water → Walking on Water

Christ did not come to make us better swimmers—He came to teach us to walk.

Some are drowning.
Some learned to tread.
Some trained into Ironman swimmers with perfect form.

But even the best swimmer is still under the water.

Christ didn’t come to improve technique.
He came to call you above the waves.

Not by hustle.
Not by strategy.
By covenant. By surrender. By union.


A Merchant Awakens at the End

The moment when every man learns what truly mattered.


My Public Declaration — 19 November 2025

The invitation is always the same: Come.

I am sharpening the saw of my soul.
Daily.
Relentlessly.
Joyfully.

I will feed spirit and body.
I will publish while the fire is hot.
I will multiply every talent until the Master says, “Well done.”
I will live in the fire of the covenant until I, too, am fire.

And I will not apologize for declaring that the purpose of life is not a bigger house in Babylon—
it is to become joint-heirs with Christ and bring as many as will come.

If you’re drowning, He will pull you out.
If you’re treading, He will steady you.
If you’re swimming, He will call you up.
If you’re ready—He will teach you to walk.

Life is meant to be lifted.
And lifted people lift people.

Forward.
Upward.
Heavenward.
With Jesus Christ at the head.

The saw is sharpening.
The talents are multiplying.
The kingdom is coming.

See you on the water.
