00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Welcome back to GodTalks, Day 2, Asking God About God.

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:09.000
First, congratulations.

3
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.000
I'm really proud of you for showing up on Day 2.

4
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.000
So few people finish what they start, and I just want to honor you for taking the time

5
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.000
and the energy today to focus on your conversation with God.

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:32.000
Now, whatever happened yesterday, or on Day 1 for you, tackle today with a big expectation,

7
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.000
turn on your curiosity, and turn off your internal critic.

8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:45.000
Just as we did yesterday, find a comfortable place to either sit down or lie down,

9
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.000
and of course, something to write with.

10
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:55.000
Today, you're going to prepare your mind in the same way you did yesterday.

11
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:10.000
Now, just close your eyes and breathe in through your nose and out through your nose.

12
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Just relax and focus on your breath.

13
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Breathe in...

14
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.000
Breathe out...

15
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.000
Breathe in...

16
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.000
Breathe out...

17
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.000
Breathe in...

18
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.000
Breathe in...

19
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.000
Breathe out...

20
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.000
Breathe in...

21
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.000
Breathe out...

22
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.000
Breathe in...

23
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.000
Breathe in...

24
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.000
Breathe out...

25
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:16.000
Breathe in...

26
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.000
Breathe out...

27
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.000
Breathe in...

28
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.000
Breathe in...

29
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.000
Breathe out...

30
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:41.000
Breathe in...

31
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.000
Breathe out...

32
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.000
Breathe in...

33
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.000
Breathe in...

34
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.000
Breathe out...

35
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.000
Breathe in...

36
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.000
Breathe out...

37
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:16.000
Breathe in...

38
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.000
Breathe in...

39
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.000
Breathe out...

40
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.000
Breathe in...

41
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:36.000
Breathe out...

42
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.000
Breathe in...

43
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.000
Breathe in...

44
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.000
Breathe out...

45
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.000
Breathe in...

46
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.000
Breathe out...

47
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.000
.

48
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:06.000
Breathe in...

49
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:10.000
.

50
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.000
.

51
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.000
.

52
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.000
.

53
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.000
.

54
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.000
.

55
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:40.000
.

56
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.000
.

57
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.000
.

58
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.000
.

59
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.000
.

60
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:10.000
Peace. Just focus on your breath for a few more moments.

61
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.000
.

62
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:20.000
.

63
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.000
.

64
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:30.000
.

65
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.000
.

66
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.000
.

67
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.000
.

68
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:50.000
.

69
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.000
.

70
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:01.000
Now, as I did yesterday, I'm going to say a short prayer.

71
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:07.000
This is just an invitation. There's no formula or special recipe here.

72
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:14.000
It's just an invitation for God to speak while you listen. Let's pray.

73
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:23.000
God, thank you for being here. Thank you for joining me in this process.

74
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:31.000
Right now, I invite you to speak while I listen.

75
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:38.000
I choose to hear from you and you alone. Amen.

76
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:47.000
Now, you're going to ask God about God.

77
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:57.000
And then you're going to write down whatever you hear, see, sense, or feel without editing.

78
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:04.000
It could be anything. It could be a sight, a smell, a memory, a voice, whatever.

79
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.000
Just write it down.

80
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:13.000
Remember, this is day two, asking God about God.

81
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.000
So the first question you're going to ask is,

82
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:22.000
What lies do I believe about you, God?

83
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:29.000
And you're just going to write down whatever you see, hear, sense, or feel without editing.

84
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.000
So do that now.

85
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:37.000
What lies do I believe about you, God?

86
00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:01.000
What lies do I believe about you, God?

87
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:14.000
What lies do I believe about you, God?

88
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:24.000
What lies do I believe about you, God?

89
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:39.000
What lies do I believe about you, God?

90
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:54.000
What lies do I believe about you, God?

91
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.060
you

92
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.060
you

93
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.060
you

94
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:26.040
now in a moment we're going to transition to the second question but if

95
00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:30.240
you're still writing down answers to the first question that's fine you can

96
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:35.840
just pause the recording and pick it back up when you're done writing

97
00:11:43.520 --> 00:11:50.040
the second question is what is true about you God and as you did with the

98
00:11:50.040 --> 00:11:56.280
first question you're going to just write down whatever you hear see sense

99
00:11:56.280 --> 00:12:07.200
or feel again without editing what is true about you God

100
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:22.100
you

101
00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:52.100
you

102
00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:22.100
you

103
00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:52.100
you

104
00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:22.100
you

105
00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:52.100
you

106
00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:00.940
you

107
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.000
Now, you've got about 30 seconds, so just finish up writing your list, and if you're

108
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:14.720
already done, just take a moment to enjoy God's presence and the answers you've just

109
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.720
received.

110
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:53.640
Now, it's time to recode your mind and your internal software with a new positive contract,

111
00:15:53.640 --> 00:15:59.080
a new positive belief system that will change your future for good.

112
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:07.080
Right now, either sitting or standing, your choice, just take charge and rewire your thinking.

113
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:12.400
Take your sheet of paper or your notebook and get your body and your voice into it.

114
00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:15.600
First, you're going to release the lies.

115
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.560
Say, I release the lie that . . . and fill in the first lie that you wrote down.

116
00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:27.800
Then I release the lie that . . . and the second one . . . and repeat it for each lie

117
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:29.360
until you're done.

118
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.360
Do that now.

119
00:16:42.400 --> 00:16:43.400
. .

120
00:16:43.400 --> 00:16:44.400
.

121
00:16:44.400 --> 00:16:45.400
.

122
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:13.400
.

123
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.400
.

124
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:15.400
.

125
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:16.400
.

126
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.400
.

127
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.400
.

128
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.400
.

129
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.400
.

130
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.400
.

131
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:22.400
.

132
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:30.480
Next, and this is my favorite part, say I receive . . . and then fill in each new truth

133
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.600
and keep doing that until you're done.

134
00:17:33.600 --> 00:17:37.600
Do that now.

135
00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:38.600
.

136
00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:39.600
.

137
00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:40.600
.

138
00:17:40.600 --> 00:17:41.600
.

139
00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:42.600
.

140
00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:43.600
.

141
00:17:43.600 --> 00:17:44.600
.

142
00:17:44.600 --> 00:17:45.600
.

143
00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:46.600
.

144
00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:48.600
.

145
00:17:48.600 --> 00:17:49.600
.

146
00:18:16.600 --> 00:18:28.040
Keep going.

147
00:18:28.600 --> 00:18:32.360
Rewrite your software with new positive contracts.

148
00:18:32.360 --> 00:18:37.800
And if you're done, feel free to add any new beliefs you'd like to add to the list.

149
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:43.640
Okay, when you're done, you can sit down with a smile on your face.

150
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:47.320
You did it. Great job. Whatever happened.

151
00:18:48.040 --> 00:18:53.800
Listen, sometimes people have radical, transformative experiences in these first

152
00:18:53.800 --> 00:18:59.960
two exercises. And sometimes, you know, it's not much. Whatever happened, however,

153
00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:06.840
I want you to know it's perfect for you. This is all part of the journey. It's all part of

154
00:19:06.840 --> 00:19:12.840
understanding and learning to hear from God. It's the perfect stepping stone to build a

155
00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:18.120
relationship, to cultivate a divine intimacy that will last a lifetime.

156
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:24.680
Now, just like yesterday, you might find that that old belief system begins to come back.

157
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:29.400
You might need to go back and release the lies and choose to believe what's true.

158
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:35.000
And that's okay. You just completed day two. Congratulations. You did it.

159
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:41.960
But remember, these aren't one and done exercises. Revisit them as often as you need to.

160
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.880
Make sure you set time aside in advance to do your God Talks.

161
00:19:46.520 --> 00:19:50.440
You'll quickly find that it becomes the most important part of your day.

162
00:19:51.320 --> 00:19:54.520
One last thing. This is a seven-day challenge.

163
00:19:54.520 --> 00:19:58.280
I strongly encourage you to complete the process with it.

164
00:19:58.280 --> 00:19:59.960
Read his book, God Talks.

165
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.400
How to have a friendship with God, even if you've made a million mistakes.

166
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:10.120
Go through all seven exercises of His all the way to the end.

167
00:20:10.120 --> 00:20:14.840
You're going to discover some incredible power in each of the exercises, and you're going

168
00:20:14.840 --> 00:20:21.000
to find you're becoming a new person in a great way as you're learning to speak to and

169
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.720
hear from God.

170
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.720
Okay?

171
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:29.560
In case you haven't realized it already, you've started something extraordinary in your life.

172
00:20:29.560 --> 00:20:35.960
Keep it up, come back whenever you want, and blessings to you and to yours.

173
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.320
Bye now.
