WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.520
So welcome to Sunday night activation, and we are here ready to get some things going.

2
00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:16.160
And so we're going to talk about something very important tonight coming off of the Supernatural

3
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.960
Saturday that we just had with regard to intentionality and taking action, making a plan, that kind

4
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.040
of thing.

5
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:31.040
And there's one variable in there that I want to talk about for a little bit so that we

6
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:35.740
could have some greater understanding.

7
00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:38.120
And so let me just do this.

8
00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:44.920
I start with prayer here just for a moment and let a few more people get on and we'll

9
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:45.920
get going.

10
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.160
Father God, we just thank you, Lord, for tonight.

11
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.480
We thank you for this time together.

12
00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:57.280
We thank you, Lord, that you've given us this ability to be able to connect, gather,

13
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.700
and to be able to hear your heart.

14
00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:03.040
We thank you, Lord, for all the truth that you're sharing to us.

15
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.640
We thank you right now, Lord, for all the downloads, all the inspiration, all the movement,

16
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:13.780
Lord, that's going to be able to take action from tonight and all the things that are going

17
00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:18.760
to get accomplished, the goals that are going to get set and ready to go.

18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.360
And we just thank you right now, Lord, that you've not forsaken us, that you love us,

19
00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:30.760
that you are still in our corner, that you are still have our back, that you still want

20
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.180
us to succeed, that you still want us to move forward, that you have plans and purposes

21
00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:37.180
for us.

22
00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:42.920
And we're glad that you have plans because when we screw up, it gets off a plan.

23
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.840
So you didn't just make one plan, you made many plans so that you could get us back on

24
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.780
course and you're really good at that.

25
00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:55.280
And so we humble ourselves, we submit ourselves to your work and to your way, and we just

26
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.200
thank you for this in Jesus name, amen and amen.

27
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.200
Hallelujah.

28
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.200
How many of you are ready, good, ready to go?

29
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:10.440
I want to tell you that this message is for you, but it's not just for you, it's for me

30
00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:11.440
as well.

31
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:19.360
I'm working through this message myself, and I want to be transparent in that.

32
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.720
I'll share some things a little bit later, Bob, but I just want to say that some of the

33
00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:31.680
best teachings and the best gifting is when you're going through something and you're

34
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.600
able to put that together and share it with somebody else.

35
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:41.400
So just like in your life, your testimony, your story, what you've gone through, what

36
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:47.000
where you're going, where you've come from, and then what is ahead of you, all those things

37
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.240
are very, very helpful and relevant to other people that are around you.

38
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.800
And so you should do that, you should share your life, you should talk, you should teach,

39
00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.200
you should, if you're given an opportunity to share in like a public setting or some

40
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:03.360
sort of like small group or whatever, you should take that opportunity.

41
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.640
Tell your story, even if you're afraid to speak, all you have to do is take some time

42
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.720
to get your thoughts together, write it down on paper and get some notes if you have to,

43
00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:13.720
and then share.

44
00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:21.240
And even if you share five minutes of an incredible story, you could take the opportunity to shift

45
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:22.240
someone's life.

46
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:28.480
And it doesn't even have to be a story about one of your best moments, it could be a story

47
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:30.560
about one of your worst moments.

48
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.720
And I'm telling you, God can just take what you give him and he can use it.

49
00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:40.400
And so I'm just telling you what, you know, so I'm going through this process myself.

50
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.160
And this question came to me many, many years ago when I was teaching.

51
00:03:44.160 --> 00:03:48.280
And this is the question I want to highlight tonight.

52
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.920
And I want you to pay attention very closely what I'm about to say.

53
00:03:52.920 --> 00:04:03.280
Because this question is the most important question in life.

54
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.400
It is the, it is that important.

55
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:15.160
It is the number one, the most important question that you can pursue to answer in your life,

56
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:20.040
on your journey, whatever it is.

57
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.560
So I'm going to talk about tonight the most important question that you can answer.

58
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.640
Now, this question is very simple.

59
00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:36.560
This question is both broad and narrow, so I'm doing my hands like this, broad and narrow.

60
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.080
You can ask this question for your life.

61
00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:50.000
You can ask this question for a moment, like in this moment, in this next five minutes,

62
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.560
in this next day, or a season, or you can ask it over all your life.

63
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.840
And you need to do that.

64
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.240
get good at asking this question and then answering this question.

65
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.840
How many of you don't want to know what the question is? And you're like, what is this

66
00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:16.080
question? Like, tell me this question. I'm not even going to ask you to put it in the chat

67
00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:22.000
and to see if anybody knows the question because that just goes awry very quickly.

68
00:05:22.640 --> 00:05:27.920
And so I'm not even going to go for feedback. But I'm going to talk about the question

69
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:35.120
and I want you to just take, before I reveal the question, I want you to take a moment. I actually

70
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.600
just take a second moment of silence, about 15 seconds here. I want you to close your eyes

71
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:48.240
and I want you to listen to me say the question and I want you to sort of like capture your

72
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:55.760
reaction. Okay. I want you to pay attention to what you feel and what you think about,

73
00:05:55.760 --> 00:06:03.200
what first comes to your mind when you hear this question. And then we'll do some explaining on it.

74
00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:09.200
So I just want you to take a moment, pause, get in a good space, a good feeling space.

75
00:06:10.640 --> 00:06:15.360
Think pleasantly about your life. Think about the good things.

76
00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:24.720
And the question tonight, the most important question you can ask yourself an answer.

77
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.680
Is what do you want?

78
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:43.920
I feel the anointing right there. What do you want?

79
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:52.080
And let me explain to you why this question is so important, because it's not a flippant question.

80
00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:00.400
You are not at Burger King and somebody's asking you, what do you want? Well, I want a hamburger.

81
00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:08.240
But no, that's not the question that I'm proposing to you tonight. I am asking you the question,

82
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:17.200
what do you truly want? And you can understand now that you know the question, how this question is very broad.

83
00:07:17.200 --> 00:07:26.320
Like, what do you want in your life? What do you want in this season? What do you want today?

84
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:31.280
What do you want in this season? What do you want today?

85
00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:40.000
And if you get good at giving yourself this opportunity, this permission, this blessing

86
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:47.440
to answer the question, what do you want? You will begin to reveal so much

87
00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:58.720
about your life and your purpose. Talk about intentionality. Proverbs 16.9 says a man's,

88
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:07.760
actually it says a man plans his way, man plans his course. But in some translation actually says a man's heart plans his course.

89
00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:14.960
I think it's interesting because in a very religious sense, you hear this like,

90
00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:21.360
man can make up all his plans, but God really has the answer. And that's really not the essence of the scripture.

91
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:30.880
The essence of the scripture is that a man's heart plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.

92
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.840
And I'm pretty sure that Jackie shared this scripture on Supernatural Saturday regarding intentionality.

93
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:51.120
But you can't get steps. You can't get intentional. You can't take action until you know where you're going, what you want.

94
00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:02.640
What do you want? If you could define that broadly, seasonally, and then daily,

95
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:12.000
you can really begin to get some clarity on where you're going, what you're doing, what is going to be next.

96
00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:19.840
What are things going to happen? And you say, yeah, but I don't know the future. And yeah, but I can't control this. And I can't do this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, none of that.

97
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.760
It has nothing to do with any of that.

98
00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:34.640
Remember Proverbs, it says a man's or a woman, anybody, his heart, her heart plans her course, her way.

99
00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:41.280
You declare, you have this moment. What do I want? I want this. And you begin to declare it. You plan that.

100
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.800
Okay. You say, this is my course. This is where I'm going. Because this is what I want. I'm going after.

101
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:53.200
And then God's like, thank you. Let me start giving you the steps. Let me start giving you

102
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:59.840
the cobblestones. Not what, like it is tasks, but think of it the

103
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.360
steps. It's like when you're planning a path. You know, when you're, instead of, I want

104
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:15.000
to go down the yellow brick road. This is a weird analogy, but anyway, the actual stones,

105
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:23.240
the actual things that you step on to go on the path, those are laid. You don't have any

106
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:30.920
involvement when you go down a path and laying those stones, they're laid before you. Am

107
00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:37.000
I correct? You're the one that's chosen to go down the path, but the path has already

108
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:44.760
been laid. And I'm telling you this tonight, that God, you plan your course. You've answered

109
00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:50.040
the question, what do you want? And God starts laying the stones, laying the path, laying

110
00:10:50.040 --> 00:10:59.240
the foundation of how to go. That's powerful, guys. Super powerful. So I want to say that

111
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:04.040
when you start dealing with this question, and again, this is not something you ask just

112
00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:07.560
once and then answer it. And then you're like, okay, that's what I want to do. That's it.

113
00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:13.280
No, no, no. This is a lifelong pursuit. This is a, this is about asking this question all

114
00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:17.720
along the journey. What do I want? What do I want now? What's going to happen next? What

115
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:26.360
do I want? Okay. And this, I'm going to reveal to you why this question matters so much.

116
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.360
That's, that's the big thing. It's like, okay, now we know this question. We see the beauty

117
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.880
in doing this. Like if we get clarity and then we start mapping up our, God's mapping

118
00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:41.000
out our steps, but we have to know why this question is so important. And let me tell

119
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:47.560
you that. Number one, if you're taking notes, write this down, it reveals identity. The

120
00:11:47.560 --> 00:11:54.080
question of what do you want is inextricably, that's a big word right there, tied to who

121
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:59.600
you are. You want to find out who you are, you got to ask, answer the question, what

122
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:10.040
do you want? It's directly tied to the question of the concept of who you are. Without knowing

123
00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:17.000
what you want, you will live life reactively instead of intentionally. Okay. So connecting

124
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:24.480
to supernatural Saturday, you cannot live life reactively. If you live life reactively,

125
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:31.400
you will always be carried away by every wind, every, every storm, every situation, every

126
00:12:31.400 --> 00:12:36.060
person, everything that's, that's puts a demand upon your life. You will be controlled by

127
00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:41.840
all of those things. You do not want to be controlled by those things. Some of you are

128
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.560
comfortable being controlled by those things because you have fear of taking ownership

129
00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:52.720
for your own life. But I'm telling you one, if you could even answer the simplest version

130
00:12:52.720 --> 00:13:01.400
of what do you want, you could get started to get excited about where you're going, because

131
00:13:01.400 --> 00:13:08.240
now you're tapping into the freedom of your life. And that will help you to overcome the

132
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:16.840
fear of having ownership in your life. Does that make sense? Okay. So number one, this

133
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:23.760
question, why it's so important is because it reveals identity. Proverbs 23, seven as

134
00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:31.600
a man, as a man thinks of his heart. So is he, so our desires shape our self image. And

135
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:40.720
we can talk more about, um, the desires of our heart. It's a moment. Number two, it exposes

136
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:56.320
the truth. It exposes the truth. So many of us live our lives in secret or in unrequited

137
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:04.640
passions. Uh, we live our lives in such a way we live our life vicariously through others

138
00:14:04.640 --> 00:14:10.280
because we're afraid or we're not sure of what it is that we want because we never asked

139
00:14:10.280 --> 00:14:17.640
that question to ourselves. So the, what do you want question gives you a sense of what

140
00:14:17.640 --> 00:14:24.360
is the truth. It peels back layers of social conditioning. It peels back the layers of

141
00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:30.000
people pleasing gets, gets rid of people pleasing. It gets rid of fear. It gets rid of false

142
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.000
humility. I used to ask this question all the time to my students in high school. And

143
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.720
these were Christian kids, you know, in a Christian high school and all this kind of

144
00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:40.520
all walks of life and different things. And I would ask them this question, guys, what do

145
00:14:40.520 --> 00:14:46.840
you want? I'm like, Oh, I just want what God wants. I just want the will of the Lord. I

146
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:51.080
just want to be good. And I just want to like giving all the right answers. And I was like,

147
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.600
that's a bunch of BS guys. That's not what you want. You want a new pair of tennis shoes.

148
00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:00.000
You want to play, you know, professional basketball. You want to like

149
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.240
I need you to identify with what you want, not give me the good answer.

150
00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:07.420
And so that false

151
00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:09.480
you mean that we do that as believers all the time, like, oh,

152
00:15:09.780 --> 00:15:11.920
I just want the will of the Lord.

153
00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:13.920
Like, well, of course you want the will of the Lord.

154
00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:16.280
We're not talking about whether you want to go out and do,

155
00:15:16.760 --> 00:15:19.320
you know, dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.

156
00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:21.420
You know, I'm talking about that.

157
00:15:21.420 --> 00:15:24.220
I'm talking about truly like, what do you want?

158
00:15:26.660 --> 00:15:28.960
OK, and so

159
00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:31.400
many people that are living their lives,

160
00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:35.900
they don't want because they've never been honest about that.

161
00:15:36.540 --> 00:15:38.940
So this gives you an opportunity to pose the truth

162
00:15:38.940 --> 00:15:40.800
and be honest about what you really want.

163
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:42.500
There's a quote by Earl Nightingale.

164
00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:44.280
You don't know who he is. I didn't know he was.

165
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:45.240
But I looked up his name.

166
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.940
He is like this motivational speaker guy way back in the day.

167
00:15:48.880 --> 00:15:51.180
I don't know if anybody knows that name, but he said a good quote.

168
00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:55.380
And he said, most people tiptoe through life

169
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.660
hoping to make it safely to death.

170
00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:02.300
Think about that for a second.

171
00:16:02.300 --> 00:16:05.160
How many of you just want to just make it safely to death?

172
00:16:05.800 --> 00:16:07.060
Like everybody's going to die.

173
00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:07.860
We all know we're going to die.

174
00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:10.440
I just want to make it. I just want to get there safely.

175
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.540
I'm like, no, I'm going to get there safely.

176
00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:17.800
No, you don't want to tiptoe through life.

177
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.240
We'll take life by the horns.

178
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.540
Do you want to have something to be have said of your life?

179
00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:28.680
Even if it's not super, super grand and for the history books,

180
00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:32.280
it's OK, you can live a big life and not be in the history books.

181
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.380
It's OK. But you've lived your full purpose.

182
00:16:35.380 --> 00:16:37.140
That's what you want, right?

183
00:16:37.140 --> 00:16:40.920
Number three, answering the question of what do you want?

184
00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:44.260
Creates direction.

185
00:16:45.260 --> 00:16:47.920
It creates direction.

186
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.160
Desire is the starting point of purpose.

187
00:16:50.660 --> 00:16:53.260
What do you want precedes?

188
00:16:54.560 --> 00:16:56.300
What should I do?

189
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.500
What you know when you when you when you get there in a moment

190
00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:03.360
where you're just having this like mental breakdown

191
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.300
and you're having a meltdown and you're just like, oh, my God,

192
00:17:07.300 --> 00:17:08.960
I don't know what to do.

193
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.339
That will because you don't know what you want.

194
00:17:14.280 --> 00:17:18.480
You're not in tune with the truth of what's in your heart like I.

195
00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:21.040
Oh, I don't really understand what I want.

196
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.319
And so therefore, I don't know what to do.

197
00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:26.940
That makes sense.

198
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.240
So it's helpful to like, oh, what do I really want?

199
00:17:31.340 --> 00:17:33.720
I don't want out of this situation.

200
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.160
Not what I want, like what I want out of life is too broad.

201
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.080
And that's a good question to ask when you're really thinking

202
00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:41.960
like really big 30,000 foot, you know, like I said, but I'm talking about

203
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.600
like, what do you want? Today.

204
00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:49.740
And more than just a cheeseburger, right?

205
00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:51.800
What do I want today? I want to accomplish today.

206
00:17:51.800 --> 00:17:55.000
I want to do day to day well, you know, they say in time management

207
00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:57.380
you can't really manage your time until you do one day.

208
00:17:57.380 --> 00:18:01.120
Well, whatever. It's like, what do you want today?

209
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.540
I have a list of 10 things I want to get accomplished today.

210
00:18:03.540 --> 00:18:04.340
That's what I want to do.

211
00:18:04.340 --> 00:18:07.280
You've written your plan and now God's giving you the steps to do that.

212
00:18:07.520 --> 00:18:11.580
And when you feel and you cross out that list, those of you that are list people,

213
00:18:12.020 --> 00:18:14.820
you're like, man, I really did something today. It's incredible.

214
00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:17.400
I did all the 10 things on my list. That's awesome.

215
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.960
I did that today. Well, so now what do I want tomorrow? Right.

216
00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:25.980
Maybe you're facing a situation with a family member, maybe a situation

217
00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:27.780
facing a situation at work.

218
00:18:27.780 --> 00:18:33.080
Maybe you're facing, you know, a problem that's relational in your life.

219
00:18:33.320 --> 00:18:35.820
Like, what do I want out of the situation?

220
00:18:36.820 --> 00:18:40.360
It's important for you to declare, you know, I want to face this problem

221
00:18:40.360 --> 00:18:41.400
that I'm having.

222
00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:46.200
And I want to like I want to call out this person because I'm having trouble

223
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.140
with them and I want to call this attention, but I'm afraid, but I don't

224
00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:53.920
want to lose the relationship, but I need to confront what's happening here

225
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:55.520
because it's hurting me.

226
00:18:56.360 --> 00:19:00.460
And so you call it out, but you can articulate part of that.

227
00:19:00.460 --> 00:19:02.620
You can articulate, you know, I want to call this out.

228
00:19:02.620 --> 00:19:06.400
I want to confront this person lovingly, but I also don't want to lose this

229
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.500
friendship that I want this to actually be an opportunity for us to go deeper

230
00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:11.600
into relationship.

231
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.940
You see how you declared what you want out of the whole what I want out of the

232
00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:21.880
what I want out of the situation is not just to get what I my hurts, my hurts

233
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:24.680
healed, but I want to go deeper in relationship.

234
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.820
So I'm declaring that to you.

235
00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:29.560
Hey, I want to have a conversation with you and what I want to get out of this

236
00:19:29.560 --> 00:19:32.720
conversation and what I have to say to you might be a little difficult, but in

237
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.060
the end, I really want us to go forward in relation.

238
00:19:35.060 --> 00:19:35.920
I want to be your friend.

239
00:19:36.120 --> 00:19:36.600
I like you.

240
00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:37.400
You like me.

241
00:19:37.860 --> 00:19:38.860
I'm having this issue.

242
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:43.500
You see how much that helps in getting that clarity to define that conversation.

243
00:19:45.280 --> 00:19:46.180
Super powerful.

244
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:48.380
OK.

245
00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:55.220
It creates direction, you know, you can't pursue something you can't go down a

246
00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:59.920
path if you don't know where you're going, and Jesus actually.

247
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.280
often asks people this question.

248
00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:12.400
And I'll get to that in just a moment. Number, my own four or three or what, what am I?

249
00:20:13.760 --> 00:20:18.240
Oh, that was a three. Three things that really, why this question matters is three things.

250
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.800
Reveals identity, exposes the truth, and creates direction. Okay.

251
00:20:22.800 --> 00:20:30.000
Um, it's very interesting. There's, here's another section. Okay. A new section.

252
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:38.560
Why people avoid this question. Can any of you imagine why people avoid this question?

253
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:45.600
There's usually a couple of different things here. Number one, fear of disappointment.

254
00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:49.280
You got it right. Jennifer Kavins is like fear, fear. Everybody knows fear,

255
00:20:49.280 --> 00:20:56.240
fear of disappointment. If I want something, and what if I don't get what I want?

256
00:20:57.600 --> 00:21:06.320
Right. Fear of disappointment, fear of selfishness. Is it wrong for me to want

257
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:13.680
more? Is it wrong for me to want what I want? You know, so many mothers, good, wonderful,

258
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:19.600
loving mothers, live their lives for their children and for their family, but they didn't

259
00:21:19.600 --> 00:21:26.000
live any of their life for themselves. And they come to a point, point, a breakdown later on in

260
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:31.360
their life. And they're just disappointed and distraught and wondering what happened. It's

261
00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:34.880
because you live your life for somebody else. And you never gave your permission to ask yourself,

262
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:41.680
what do you want? Okay. So it's not selfish to ask this question. It's very important

263
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.920
that if you're going to be your best, and you're going to do everything that you can do

264
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:52.400
with your life, you must ask this question to yourself. You have to, if you're going to shift

265
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.360
from one place to the next, from one level to the next level. And again, remind me guys,

266
00:21:57.360 --> 00:22:03.360
remember guys, I'm asking myself these questions today. I'm going through this process.

267
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:13.920
And if you don't get that level of clarity and get beyond the selfishness, then you're not going

268
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:19.200
to be of any good to anybody else. You're not going to be able to serve at your best. You're

269
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:24.880
not going to be able to live and love at your best, right? You have to answer this question.

270
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:31.920
You have to answer this question. The other reason that people avoid the question is lack

271
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:39.520
of clarity. I've never been taught to ask this question. I've never thought to ask this question.

272
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:46.080
I've never been given permission to ask this question. We're giving you permission today

273
00:22:46.080 --> 00:22:51.440
to ask this question. What do you want? Just what do you want? Just spit it out. Like, what do you

274
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:58.560
want? And I had some people were like, I want to do this. I want, you know, and I love that.

275
00:22:58.560 --> 00:23:05.280
And then people are like, well, I, you know, no, no, no. What do you want? I just, I want a new

276
00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:11.680
car. Okay. That's awesome. That's like a today thing, right? A seasonal thing, whatever. It's

277
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:21.760
not a lifelong thing, but it is getting clarity on what it is you want. Cultural and religious

278
00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:29.680
programming. This is the worst. We have all been taught that denying our desires, denying ourselves

279
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:36.000
is holy and godly, and that we should be desiring something deeper and that there's more, but it's

280
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:44.800
not about us. It's about him and all that. I'm like, yes, of course. Hello. Of course it's about

281
00:23:44.800 --> 00:23:51.920
him, but you're in him. You're part of him. And if you don't know what you want, then you can't

282
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:57.600
align into his plan because you're just going to be aimless. So you're going to be in this cell,

283
00:23:57.600 --> 00:24:02.400
like an amoeba in a cell of God. And you're just really floating around with no direction

284
00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:08.720
because you're in him, but you have no direction. You have no purpose. You have no clarity. You have

285
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:17.920
no identity. So it's powerful. It's most important that it's not denying. I mean, yes, denying your

286
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:24.000
flesh. I want candy. Candy is not healthy. Yeah, you should probably deny that. That's denying your

287
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:32.400
flesh. That's not denying what you want. I want to go do things that feed my flesh and that make

288
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.920
me feel good because I'm depressed and down and so forth and I'm just bored. Yeah, no, that you

289
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:44.720
may say that that's what you want, but that's not what you want. Again, we're not talking about

290
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:52.960
things that are wicked. We're talking about what do you truly as a son or a daughter of God

291
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:59.520
as a person living in this world, you want to do something? What do you want?

292
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.200
Okay, there's a lot of significance to this,

293
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:05.960
to some biblical things.

294
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:09.640
When I was talking about earlier in Mark 10, 51,

295
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.920
Jesus was dealing with blind Bartimaeus,

296
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:17.600
and he walks up to the blind guy, and what does he say?

297
00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:18.920
Does anybody know?

298
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:20.000
Walks up to a blind guy.

299
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.200
This is Jesus now, Jesus heals people.

300
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.280
He heals all the people.

301
00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:25.680
He has this miraculous power.

302
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.360
He is God.

303
00:25:27.360 --> 00:25:31.240
And God, in Jesus' form, walks up to this blind guy

304
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:35.040
and says what, right, in the chat.

305
00:25:35.040 --> 00:25:35.880
What do you want?

306
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.400
He says, what do you want me to do for you?

307
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.040
I mean, hello, it's a blind guy.

308
00:25:40.040 --> 00:25:41.800
Well, of course he wants to be healed.

309
00:25:41.800 --> 00:25:44.760
I mean, why would you ask this question?

310
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:50.280
Jesus asked this question because he needs the individual

311
00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:54.560
to begin to declare and to identify the moment

312
00:25:54.560 --> 00:25:58.640
and the situation so that Jesus can take action.

313
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:03.200
If the blind man said, hey, I've got this problem

314
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.320
with this person in my life, with my brother,

315
00:26:05.320 --> 00:26:07.560
and I really need that relation to be healed,

316
00:26:07.560 --> 00:26:10.040
and I really just want to get along with my family,

317
00:26:10.040 --> 00:26:12.000
and I want to go back home to my family

318
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.160
because I do have this blind thing and everything,

319
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.840
but I just really want that, Jesus would have been like,

320
00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:19.600
okay, let me help you with that.

321
00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:23.360
I think it'd be kind of cool if Jesus would be like,

322
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:24.880
oh, and by the way, I'm gonna heal your blindness.

323
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:25.720
That's kind of cool.

324
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:30.560
But at least he got the guy to align with what he wanted.

325
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.680
It just happens to be that he wanted to be healed

326
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.280
from blindness, and that's what Jesus did,

327
00:26:35.280 --> 00:26:38.360
and that's the miracle, and that's what happened.

328
00:26:38.360 --> 00:26:41.160
How much of his life, though, was changed

329
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:42.480
by just that one thing?

330
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.520
I want to be healed of blindness, and he got free.

331
00:26:44.520 --> 00:26:46.320
How much of his whole life was changed

332
00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:47.880
just by now his ability to see?

333
00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:53.520
The man at the pool of Bethesda, John 5,

334
00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:55.080
walks up to this guy.

335
00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:57.640
The main reason he's been there the longest

336
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.680
because he has no one to help him get into the pool.

337
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:02.360
You got in the pool, the angel comes down,

338
00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:03.840
moves the waters, he gets healed.

339
00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:05.040
Everybody knows this.

340
00:27:05.040 --> 00:27:07.200
So all these people are laying around this pool,

341
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:09.760
and when the water goes, only one person gets healed.

342
00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:11.720
Not everybody, just one, but you gotta wait

343
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:13.000
till the next time the water gets moved.

344
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.360
That's the story, right?

345
00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:15.240
This guy's laying there.

346
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:17.400
He's been there the longest of anybody,

347
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.400
and he's like, I have no one to put me into the water.

348
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.280
Jesus, the healer, more important than the water,

349
00:27:23.280 --> 00:27:25.360
way more power than the water,

350
00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:26.920
way more than this phenomena,

351
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.760
is standing right in front of him,

352
00:27:28.760 --> 00:27:30.480
and he's seeing this guy, knows his condition,

353
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.320
knows his situation.

354
00:27:31.320 --> 00:27:34.840
He goes, do you want to be made well?

355
00:27:34.840 --> 00:27:37.040
And the guy's like, of course I do.

356
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:40.800
But Jesus is like, well, I just had to ask

357
00:27:40.800 --> 00:27:42.920
because it's important why.

358
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:44.680
This question is, what do you want?

359
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.320
Can you, are you seeing tonight how I'm teaching this,

360
00:27:49.320 --> 00:27:52.000
like how important this is?

361
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.040
And why I started with like,

362
00:27:53.040 --> 00:27:57.640
this literally is the most important question in the world.

363
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.680
It's the most important question of your life.

364
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:02.920
And if you can get good at it,

365
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:05.040
and if you can get clarity and continue

366
00:28:05.040 --> 00:28:08.440
to ask this question at every moment, every season,

367
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.160
and even broader for your life,

368
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.600
you'll be able to get momentum on some things

369
00:28:15.600 --> 00:28:17.840
that you've not seen momentum on before.

370
00:28:17.840 --> 00:28:20.720
You'll begin to go from one level to another level.

371
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:23.440
You'll begin to see some answers

372
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:24.840
to the questions you've been having,

373
00:28:24.840 --> 00:28:26.720
other questions in your life, amen?

374
00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:32.600
And it activates your faith, okay?

375
00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:38.840
So Jesus asked this question repeatedly,

376
00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:42.680
asking a question,

377
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.000
any question really,

378
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.600
but obviously some questions are better than others.

379
00:28:50.600 --> 00:28:54.200
Asking a question activates your faith.

380
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:57.760
James 4.2 says, you do not have because you do not ask.

381
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:00.680
And lots of times we think of,

382
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.280
well, we're asking God for something.

383
00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:05.160
Well, that's just like one way of asking.

384
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:06.760
Sometimes you have to ask yourself.

385
00:29:06.760 --> 00:29:08.480
Sometimes you have to ask others.

386
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.320
Sometimes you have to ask God.

387
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.080
It's not just about asking God for something.

388
00:29:13.080 --> 00:29:15.960
It's about asking questions that then make you think,

389
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.800
make you search, make you get clarity,

390
00:29:18.800 --> 00:29:22.120
make you have identity, make you come into this next thing.

391
00:29:22.120 --> 00:29:25.400
So asking can activate your faith

392
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.280
in a certain situation or on a thing.

393
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:31.040
God honors authentic desire.

394
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:33.920
Delight yourself in the Lord,

395
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.000
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

396
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.200
Your desires are often the clues to your calling.

397
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.640
So in order for you to,

398
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:47.400
and I looked up that word delight.

399
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:50.600
It means to have just great pleasure in.

400
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:53.600
It doesn't mean to like,

401
00:29:53.600 --> 00:29:57.280
oh, give yourself over to the Lord.

402
00:29:58.560 --> 00:29:59.840
All of you.

403
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.800
and like be a servant to God and give up everything you want first.

404
00:30:05.300 --> 00:30:07.540
And then the Lord will give you desires of your heart.

405
00:30:07.540 --> 00:30:10.140
Because I think most people think delight yourself in the Lord

406
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.640
or when it's to give some sort of command, I think religiously.

407
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:16.680
I don't know about everybody, but I just you know, I get the sense of like when

408
00:30:17.020 --> 00:30:21.140
when the religious version of scripture is always

409
00:30:21.140 --> 00:30:24.520
you got to do something to get yourself right before and do this

410
00:30:24.520 --> 00:30:26.900
before God will do something right.

411
00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:28.900
We all understand that as human beings.

412
00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:32.020
And this scripture sounds a little bit lighter,

413
00:30:32.020 --> 00:30:35.740
but it kind of gives that same feeling if it's preached in religious context.

414
00:30:36.360 --> 00:30:40.320
But it's not pleasure yourself, like delight yourself in the Lord,

415
00:30:40.320 --> 00:30:45.700
like go and go like, my gosh, like, why would I do anything else?

416
00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:47.700
Why would I follow anybody else?

417
00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:50.420
Because God is so amazingly incredible.

418
00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:52.240
Like he has all the answers.

419
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.040
That's the kind of delighting that you come to the Lord.

420
00:30:55.040 --> 00:30:57.040
So do you like yourself in the Lord?

421
00:30:57.060 --> 00:30:59.140
And he will give you the desires of your heart.

422
00:31:00.320 --> 00:31:05.860
The desires where in your heart, the desires that what he already placed there.

423
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:10.620
So if you're talking about like, oh, I just want what God wants,

424
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.160
just find the desires of your heart, ask yourself the question, answer

425
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.960
the question, what do you want?

426
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.380
You identify the desires of your heart because you get honest,

427
00:31:18.380 --> 00:31:20.420
you get truthful, you clarity, you get direction.

428
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:25.460
And God's like, oh, I see this person's activating their faith.

429
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.140
They're asking this question.

430
00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:29.980
They're really they're they're they're want to get momentum.

431
00:31:30.340 --> 00:31:32.480
I need to help them.

432
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:35.560
And things start to pop off, things start to happen.

433
00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:38.020
All right.

434
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:40.820
But it is.

435
00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:42.740
OK.

436
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:48.120
How to answer the question, honestly,

437
00:31:48.120 --> 00:31:50.240
and this is part of getting into some of its activation.

438
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.080
Now, what I'm going to do is.

439
00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:55.880
I just want to make sure that I've got everything I wanted to go over.

440
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:59.040
There's one other thing I want to talk about in just a second.

441
00:31:59.040 --> 00:32:02.760
I'll just kind of briefly do this, but I'll do that in a second.

442
00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:08.720
But I want to share this link because I have a little activation guide

443
00:32:09.100 --> 00:32:11.720
that goes with this teaching that helps you start activating

444
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:12.760
this question in your life.

445
00:32:12.760 --> 00:32:14.760
So let me get it.

446
00:32:15.860 --> 00:32:16.600
And.

447
00:32:17.980 --> 00:32:20.100
Hopefully this works, because I think this is just a little bit

448
00:32:20.300 --> 00:32:22.960
hopefully this works, because I think this is just like a share link

449
00:32:23.580 --> 00:32:26.300
to Google Doc that.

450
00:32:29.060 --> 00:32:32.800
I put together and I'm going to share it in the comments.

451
00:32:34.060 --> 00:32:35.860
I hope that works.

452
00:32:35.860 --> 00:32:38.100
I hope you can grab that link.

453
00:32:38.100 --> 00:32:41.360
We'll try to make it available somewhere else, but it's just a really rough link.

454
00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:45.360
I put it there's a Google Docs and bring it up on your computer

455
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:48.040
if you can, if you want to, or you can do it later or you can.

456
00:32:48.220 --> 00:32:50.100
Hey, if you're old school like me,

457
00:32:50.100 --> 00:32:53.680
you can print it out and do things and like write on it and do stuff.

458
00:32:54.060 --> 00:32:57.680
So that's a little activation guide

459
00:32:58.360 --> 00:33:01.160
that we won't necessarily take the time to go through that.

460
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.860
But we'll get a sort of a mini version of it tonight in our activation.

461
00:33:05.860 --> 00:33:07.200
Is that OK?

462
00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:11.000
So the window here.

463
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:13.660
How many are getting something out of this?

464
00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:16.300
If you're getting something out of this, put yes in the chat.

465
00:33:17.300 --> 00:33:19.220
How many are beginning breakthrough?

466
00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:20.640
I mean, how many are you like?

467
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:21.720
I don't want you to just placate.

468
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.680
Seriously, I do not need the placating.

469
00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:27.940
I, I really want you to get breakthrough.

470
00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:28.940
I want you to get some.

471
00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:30.520
I want you to get freedom.

472
00:33:30.520 --> 00:33:32.020
I want you to get clarity.

473
00:33:32.020 --> 00:33:33.940
I was like, oh, my gosh, I never knew this.

474
00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:34.560
I understand that.

475
00:33:34.560 --> 00:33:35.560
Like, this is so important.

476
00:33:35.560 --> 00:33:37.820
Like, yes, I'm going to start doing this.

477
00:33:39.280 --> 00:33:42.280
That's the kind of good.

478
00:33:43.280 --> 00:33:43.860
So good.

479
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:45.960
Love it, love it, love it.

480
00:33:46.820 --> 00:33:47.320
All right.

481
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:53.000
How to answer these questions, honestly, keep on with the chat.

482
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.500
That's good.

483
00:33:55.540 --> 00:33:59.500
You have to, number one, I'm starting all these three points and everything.

484
00:33:59.500 --> 00:34:00.840
So if you're taking notes, it's all good.

485
00:34:01.380 --> 00:34:05.140
How to answer the question, honestly, what is the question is, what do you want?

486
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:11.760
You don't get to edit the question, the answer to the question.

487
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:15.860
By sounding what's acceptable.

488
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.980
Like, you know, you have to say out the thing that you're afraid of.

489
00:34:23.040 --> 00:34:24.280
You have to just speak it out.

490
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:26.560
Jackie and I, we both do this.

491
00:34:26.560 --> 00:34:27.639
We do it in different ways.

492
00:34:27.699 --> 00:34:30.159
And if you don't do it, I think you're crazy.

493
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:31.920
And that is talk to yourself.

494
00:34:32.380 --> 00:34:34.600
You have to talk to yourself.

495
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.920
Most people think that if you talk to yourself, you are crazy.

496
00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:40.760
I say that if you don't talk to yourself, you are crazy.

497
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.679
And I'm just saying that you got to talk this stuff out.

498
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.860
So if you're not wanting to write it down, if you're not a writer, if you talk or

499
00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:51.300
whatever, just be in the car or walking around your house or walking in a private

500
00:34:51.300 --> 00:34:55.699
place for lots of times, my prayers are literally just me talking to myself.

501
00:34:57.380 --> 00:35:00.020
You know, Jackie will walk out of the bedroom.

502
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.640
Sometimes she won't even know that I'm there

503
00:35:01.640 --> 00:35:02.320
and she'll be talking.

504
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:03.160
I'm like, who are you talking to?

505
00:35:03.160 --> 00:35:04.800
She goes, oh, I'm just talking to myself.

506
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.120
And she's just talking about, she's

507
00:35:06.120 --> 00:35:07.960
like a whole blue streak of just whatever.

508
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.720
And sometimes she's actually on the phone

509
00:35:09.720 --> 00:35:11.880
and I don't even know that she has the phone there.

510
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:13.280
So she's always going.

511
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:17.040
But you don't want to say and answer

512
00:35:17.040 --> 00:35:19.280
the question of what do you want with just acceptable.

513
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:20.560
What's acceptable?

514
00:35:20.560 --> 00:35:21.400
What's OK?

515
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:21.960
What's right?

516
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:22.880
What's the right word?

517
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:24.840
No, no, no, there's no right answer.

518
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:26.320
This is one of those questions where

519
00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:29.480
there is no right answer.

520
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:32.200
This is one of those questions where you're like,

521
00:35:32.200 --> 00:35:33.400
just spit it out.

522
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:36.080
Just get it out.

523
00:35:36.080 --> 00:35:38.240
And if you're a writer, that's one of those people

524
00:35:38.240 --> 00:35:41.360
that just writes constantly and gets that stuff out.

525
00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:42.160
That's awesome.

526
00:35:42.160 --> 00:35:43.920
But those of you that are not writers,

527
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.080
I want to encourage you to actually be a writer.

528
00:35:47.080 --> 00:35:49.160
Literally just like, don't worry about grammar.

529
00:35:49.160 --> 00:35:51.320
Don't worry about like, nobody's going to see this.

530
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:52.840
Just write.

531
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:54.640
Just write.

532
00:35:54.640 --> 00:35:57.560
And if you don't like writing, just talk.

533
00:35:57.600 --> 00:36:01.640
And then when you talk, make sure you record it.

534
00:36:01.640 --> 00:36:04.640
So talk it into your phone and record it so you have it.

535
00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:06.640
Because it'll be important for you

536
00:36:06.640 --> 00:36:12.000
to go back to your answer of what do you want

537
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:17.560
and hear your voice saying and declaring, I want this.

538
00:36:17.560 --> 00:36:18.240
I want that.

539
00:36:18.240 --> 00:36:20.520
I want peace and freedom.

540
00:36:20.520 --> 00:36:22.520
And then like, well, what do you want peace in?

541
00:36:22.520 --> 00:36:24.200
What do you want freedom from?

542
00:36:24.200 --> 00:36:27.400
I want freedom from whatever.

543
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.000
I don't want to put words in your mouth

544
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.920
because I want you to really just say it all.

545
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.960
And if you want to start categorically, you can.

546
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:37.440
That's a really good way to do this.

547
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:38.680
You can start with categories.

548
00:36:38.680 --> 00:36:42.160
Just talk about what I want in my relationship.

549
00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:45.800
What do I want in my spiritual life?

550
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.040
What do I want in my career?

551
00:36:49.040 --> 00:36:52.560
What do I want health-wise?

552
00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:55.200
What do I want for my legacy?

553
00:36:55.240 --> 00:37:00.680
Like, when I am older and I'm at the end of my life

554
00:37:00.680 --> 00:37:05.880
or even past beyond my life, how do I want to be remembered?

555
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:07.880
And not only that, but what do you

556
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:11.160
want to leave as a legacy to your children,

557
00:37:11.160 --> 00:37:12.400
your children's children?

558
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.120
What do you want to leave as an inheritance?

559
00:37:15.120 --> 00:37:16.560
Maybe it's not money.

560
00:37:16.560 --> 00:37:19.000
Money would be great, but a legacy inheritance

561
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:21.320
is not always money.

562
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.800
You can have a faith inheritance, a faith legacy

563
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:25.320
that you have left to your children

564
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:28.720
because you prayed for them and you broke through for them.

565
00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:33.800
And my children, I believe, are a legacy of my prayers.

566
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:40.000
I am certainly a legacy of my mom's prayers.

567
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.680
And I think that because my mom's generation,

568
00:37:42.680 --> 00:37:46.440
my aunt was the one who brought Jesus to our family.

569
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:48.200
Those generations before, we don't really

570
00:37:48.200 --> 00:37:49.640
know if they were believers or not.

571
00:37:49.640 --> 00:37:52.920
But we believe that somewhere in our past generations,

572
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:56.120
there was somebody praying for generations of people

573
00:37:56.120 --> 00:37:57.960
they would never meet.

574
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.760
And they left an inheritance, a legacy.

575
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:02.520
So how do you want to be remembered?

576
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:12.440
And some of the next level questions that go along

577
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:17.640
with what do you want, there's a bug flying around here,

578
00:38:17.640 --> 00:38:22.600
might be, well, why do I want that?

579
00:38:22.600 --> 00:38:23.240
What do I want?

580
00:38:23.240 --> 00:38:24.120
Oh, I want this.

581
00:38:24.120 --> 00:38:25.400
Oh, well, that's kind of weird.

582
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:26.320
Never heard that before.

583
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:28.480
Or I was afraid to admit that, but I said that.

584
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:31.200
Now I'm going to explore, why do I want that?

585
00:38:31.200 --> 00:38:32.720
Maybe there's something in your life

586
00:38:32.720 --> 00:38:35.280
that you've always internally felt like, this is what I want.

587
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:37.320
And then you say it.

588
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:39.240
You answer the question.

589
00:38:39.240 --> 00:38:43.320
And then like, why do I want that?

590
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:48.400
Oh, I want that because that's what my mom wanted for me.

591
00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:51.840
Or that's what so-and-so wanted.

592
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:55.000
And I've identified that with them.

593
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.280
That's not really what I want.

594
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:01.520
And then you go back to, what do I want?

595
00:39:01.520 --> 00:39:03.680
See how beautiful that is?

596
00:39:03.680 --> 00:39:06.600
See how wonderful that is to be able to get clarity?

597
00:39:06.600 --> 00:39:10.280
Because it causes you to just be honest and introspective.

598
00:39:13.200 --> 00:39:15.440
And another question, next level question,

599
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.800
goes with what do I want is, who told me I couldn't have that?

600
00:39:22.120 --> 00:39:23.880
Lots of times you're answering the question,

601
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:26.760
what do I want, honestly.

602
00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:29.680
And then you feel like, eh, and then the voice comes in,

603
00:39:29.680 --> 00:39:32.080
like, ah, you can't really have that.

604
00:39:32.080 --> 00:39:33.080
Why did you say that?

605
00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:34.240
Don't answer that question.

606
00:39:34.240 --> 00:39:35.080
You can't have that.

607
00:39:35.080 --> 00:39:37.440
And then you're like, OK, who is that?

608
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:40.280
Who's telling me that I couldn't have it?

609
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.280
What's that voice in my head that's telling me

610
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:44.960
I couldn't have what I want?

611
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.840
Again, I just want to make this clear.

612
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:49.920
We are not talking about wicked things.

613
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.080
We are talking about the true intentions of your heart.

614
00:39:53.080 --> 00:39:55.920
We're talking about the true passions and the desires

615
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:59.800
that God has given you in your heart that are aching and

616
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:01.360
desiring.

617
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.360
hiring to come out.

618
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:05.520
And quite honestly, everybody around you

619
00:40:05.520 --> 00:40:11.280
is aching and waiting for those desires to come out of you.

620
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:13.880
Did you know that?

621
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:15.280
Did you know that there are people

622
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:18.800
around you that are waiting for you to be your best self?

623
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:21.000
Talk about being directly connected

624
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.200
to your spirit mate.

625
00:40:23.200 --> 00:40:24.760
Hello.

626
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:27.560
What if you start answering the question, what do you want?

627
00:40:27.560 --> 00:40:29.220
And this just starts coming out of you.

628
00:40:29.220 --> 00:40:31.580
You start actually being this person that you want to be.

629
00:40:31.580 --> 00:40:33.940
And then all of a sudden, the person

630
00:40:33.940 --> 00:40:35.980
that you've been waiting for, your spirit mate,

631
00:40:35.980 --> 00:40:39.660
comes out of thin air.

632
00:40:39.660 --> 00:40:42.340
What a novel concept.

633
00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:48.180
What an incredible, mind-blowing truth and reality.

634
00:40:48.180 --> 00:40:49.420
Talk about doing the hard work.

635
00:40:55.020 --> 00:40:57.060
Here's another question.

636
00:40:57.060 --> 00:41:04.100
What am I afraid of will happen if I pursue this?

637
00:41:04.100 --> 00:41:07.460
If I get clarity on what I want, and then I get it written down,

638
00:41:07.460 --> 00:41:09.340
and I start making plans, and then God

639
00:41:09.340 --> 00:41:13.460
starts showing me the steps, and I start going that direction,

640
00:41:13.460 --> 00:41:18.760
what am I afraid of will happen if I do this?

641
00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:20.980
My world will get turned upside down.

642
00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:23.500
You'll turn other people's worlds upside down.

643
00:41:23.500 --> 00:41:25.740
And I know that can be scary.

644
00:41:25.780 --> 00:41:27.940
Some people are like, yeah, burn it all down.

645
00:41:27.940 --> 00:41:28.500
Let's go.

646
00:41:28.500 --> 00:41:29.100
Let's do it.

647
00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:29.940
That's cool.

648
00:41:29.940 --> 00:41:31.340
Some of you are bold like that.

649
00:41:31.340 --> 00:41:33.780
Other people are like, oh my God, I don't know.

650
00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:36.180
I can't upset the apple cart.

651
00:41:36.180 --> 00:41:38.860
What will people think?

652
00:41:38.860 --> 00:41:39.700
Another old song.

653
00:41:39.700 --> 00:41:42.900
What will people think if they find out I'm a Jesus?

654
00:41:42.900 --> 00:41:44.340
OK.

655
00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:45.860
What are people going to think?

656
00:41:49.340 --> 00:41:50.580
What's so-and-so going to say?

657
00:41:50.580 --> 00:41:53.580
Who cares what so-and-so says?

658
00:41:53.580 --> 00:41:54.340
I love them.

659
00:41:54.340 --> 00:41:56.220
God bless them.

660
00:41:56.220 --> 00:41:58.540
But they're not you.

661
00:41:58.540 --> 00:42:00.580
And they may not be answering the question,

662
00:42:00.580 --> 00:42:03.140
what do you want?

663
00:42:03.140 --> 00:42:04.380
But you are.

664
00:42:04.380 --> 00:42:06.260
You're asking the question, what do I want?

665
00:42:06.260 --> 00:42:06.900
What do I do?

666
00:42:06.900 --> 00:42:08.300
Where do I go?

667
00:42:08.300 --> 00:42:09.900
Where do I want to be?

668
00:42:09.900 --> 00:42:11.340
Yes.

669
00:42:11.340 --> 00:42:14.100
And get excited about it.

670
00:42:14.100 --> 00:42:16.780
OK, living into the answer.

671
00:42:16.780 --> 00:42:20.100
So wanting something is not enough.

672
00:42:20.100 --> 00:42:22.380
You must align your life with it.

673
00:42:22.380 --> 00:42:24.140
And so when you're answering this question

674
00:42:24.940 --> 00:42:28.660
and doing the work to work through this question,

675
00:42:28.660 --> 00:42:30.020
it creates action.

676
00:42:30.020 --> 00:42:33.140
And it creates alignment, not wanting.

677
00:42:33.140 --> 00:42:35.260
It creates action in your life.

678
00:42:35.260 --> 00:42:40.940
And it brings you out of wanting into action-taking, OK?

679
00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:45.060
It helps you to desire.

680
00:42:45.060 --> 00:42:48.700
Excuse me, it helps you to shape your goals and your habits.

681
00:42:48.700 --> 00:42:52.860
So out of the what do I want question

682
00:42:52.900 --> 00:42:53.900
comes a lot of things.

683
00:42:53.900 --> 00:42:56.860
Well, if I want that, then I'm going to have to do this.

684
00:42:56.860 --> 00:42:59.060
And so I've declared that I want this.

685
00:42:59.060 --> 00:43:00.740
There's a certain level of excitement.

686
00:43:00.740 --> 00:43:02.660
And God's creating these steps for me.

687
00:43:02.660 --> 00:43:04.620
And so now I've got to take these steps.

688
00:43:04.620 --> 00:43:06.740
And so those steps create habits.

689
00:43:06.740 --> 00:43:11.020
They create goals that I want to take so many steps.

690
00:43:11.020 --> 00:43:12.900
I want to take 100 of these cobblestones

691
00:43:12.900 --> 00:43:14.100
that God's put in front of me.

692
00:43:14.100 --> 00:43:15.260
I want to do 100 of them.

693
00:43:15.260 --> 00:43:18.220
Because when I get to 100, then it

694
00:43:18.220 --> 00:43:19.500
means that I've done something.

695
00:43:19.500 --> 00:43:20.780
It means I've lost the weight.

696
00:43:20.780 --> 00:43:22.620
It means that I have found the person.

697
00:43:22.620 --> 00:43:25.340
It means that I have accomplished the financial goal.

698
00:43:25.340 --> 00:43:27.940
It means that I have done X, Y, Z, right?

699
00:43:27.940 --> 00:43:29.740
So it creates this habit.

700
00:43:29.740 --> 00:43:30.860
It creates goals.

701
00:43:30.860 --> 00:43:32.060
It creates boundaries.

702
00:43:32.060 --> 00:43:35.660
It creates focus for you.

703
00:43:35.660 --> 00:43:37.820
And it creates prayers.

704
00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:41.060
Because now you have something to pray into.

705
00:43:41.060 --> 00:43:43.060
I've declared what I wanted.

706
00:43:43.060 --> 00:43:44.380
I've written it down.

707
00:43:44.380 --> 00:43:45.540
I'm getting clarity on this.

708
00:43:45.540 --> 00:43:46.460
Now I can pray into it.

709
00:43:46.460 --> 00:43:49.820
Like, Lord, I just said that I wanted this.

710
00:43:49.820 --> 00:43:53.460
And then what's beautiful about this process

711
00:43:53.460 --> 00:43:58.380
is that sometimes we don't answer the question just

712
00:43:58.380 --> 00:43:59.220
exactly perfectly.

713
00:43:59.220 --> 00:44:00.740
We get out like, I want this.

714
00:44:00.740 --> 00:44:01.860
I want a red sports car.

715
00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:03.140
I'm like, OK, that's cool.

716
00:44:03.140 --> 00:44:04.860
We can go after a red sports car.

717
00:44:04.860 --> 00:44:07.060
But Holy Spirit's like, but what about, you know?

718
00:44:07.060 --> 00:44:10.620
And then He lovingly telling you, that's cool.

719
00:44:10.620 --> 00:44:12.460
And then one day, you all of a sudden desire,

720
00:44:12.460 --> 00:44:16.220
you're like, I really don't want a red sports car.

721
00:44:16.220 --> 00:44:17.460
Maybe I want a blue one.

722
00:44:17.460 --> 00:44:18.540
No, I'm just kidding.

723
00:44:19.340 --> 00:44:21.460
I'm just saying, Holy Spirit has a way

724
00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:24.220
of helping you then get that focus and get that direction.

725
00:44:24.220 --> 00:44:25.220
But you got to be moving.

726
00:44:27.900 --> 00:44:28.580
What did they say?

727
00:44:28.580 --> 00:44:29.780
You can't steer a parked car.

728
00:44:29.780 --> 00:44:32.500
You can't steer a jet ski.

729
00:44:32.500 --> 00:44:34.220
It's not moving in the water, right?

730
00:44:41.140 --> 00:44:45.420
And I want you to have courage.

731
00:44:45.460 --> 00:44:49.620
I want you to be encouraged.

732
00:44:49.620 --> 00:44:57.340
I want you to get wind in your sails by taking on this message

733
00:44:57.340 --> 00:45:00.380
and realizing the truth of this message.

734
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.440
because I want you to feel like,

735
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:08.240
wow, this could be a game changer.

736
00:45:08.240 --> 00:45:13.400
This could be something like I could be a different person.

737
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:18.280
I'm excited about accomplishing something now.

738
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:24.320
I've tried it a million times and everybody was telling me,

739
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:25.840
and I watched all YouTube videos,

740
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:27.680
and TikTok, and Instagram,

741
00:45:27.680 --> 00:45:29.640
and everybody's got a plan for this and a plan for that,

742
00:45:29.640 --> 00:45:31.920
and how you do this, and how you do that.

743
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:34.760
I've tried to do it and I failed every time,

744
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:37.680
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

745
00:45:38.040 --> 00:45:42.040
Maybe it's just because you've never answered the question,

746
00:45:42.040 --> 00:45:45.680
what do I want? You internalized it,

747
00:45:45.680 --> 00:45:47.560
like you internalized,

748
00:45:47.560 --> 00:45:48.840
oh, I want to get fit,

749
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:50.480
and then you watch a video on it,

750
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.160
and then you try to do it and you failed.

751
00:45:52.160 --> 00:45:55.840
But maybe you never articulated the desire.

752
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:57.000
Maybe you never spoke it out.

753
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:58.800
Maybe you never prayed into it.

754
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:01.440
Maybe you never really got clarity on it

755
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:04.240
because you just thought it was, oh, that was just me.

756
00:46:04.240 --> 00:46:06.080
I was feeling terrible about myself,

757
00:46:06.080 --> 00:46:07.800
and so I just thought I would get fit,

758
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:09.400
but no, it doesn't work.

759
00:46:10.600 --> 00:46:13.880
I actually said one time way back a long time ago,

760
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:15.360
someone invited me to the gym,

761
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:16.840
and I was going and everything.

762
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:19.440
I was young, and I just didn't like it.

763
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:22.560
I didn't get into it, and I wasn't declaring what I wanted.

764
00:46:22.560 --> 00:46:23.560
You know, I really wasn't into it.

765
00:46:23.560 --> 00:46:25.960
I was just going just because they told me to,

766
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:27.720
and I said, bro, that's why, you know,

767
00:46:27.720 --> 00:46:30.760
working out, it just doesn't work out for me.

768
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:33.680
And, well, pun there, a little joke.

769
00:46:33.680 --> 00:46:34.520
I don't know if you got that.

770
00:46:34.520 --> 00:46:35.960
Anybody who's listening,

771
00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:38.360
working out is not working out for me.

772
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:41.320
All right, so I'm just saying,

773
00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:44.720
if you tried it before and failed a million times,

774
00:46:44.720 --> 00:46:45.720
maybe this time's different

775
00:46:45.720 --> 00:46:47.800
because you're really, truly asking yourself,

776
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:49.200
what do I want?

777
00:46:49.200 --> 00:46:51.600
Like, what do I really, really want?

778
00:46:51.600 --> 00:46:53.760
Tell me what you want, what you really, really want.

779
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:55.880
Tell me what you want right there.

780
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:56.880
There's that song.

781
00:46:59.160 --> 00:47:02.120
So I guess in the chat, here's our activation,

782
00:47:02.120 --> 00:47:05.120
our mini activation for,

783
00:47:05.120 --> 00:47:07.920
yes, everything is a song with me, that's for sure.

784
00:47:11.080 --> 00:47:13.960
In our small activation, we've got eight minutes left.

785
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:18.000
I want you to take some time to just articulate,

786
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.040
like, hopefully you have the guide.

787
00:47:20.040 --> 00:47:21.520
We'll try to make that available somewhere else

788
00:47:21.520 --> 00:47:22.640
if you don't have it or whatever,

789
00:47:22.640 --> 00:47:24.680
you can email in and we'll try to,

790
00:47:24.680 --> 00:47:27.200
but hopefully you can grab it from the chat there.

791
00:47:28.240 --> 00:47:30.520
And, but I want you to give one small thing.

792
00:47:30.520 --> 00:47:31.760
What's one small step?

793
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:35.800
What's one, what's the first step, you know, for you?

794
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.040
What do you want?

795
00:47:37.040 --> 00:47:41.280
What's one thing that you can do today or tomorrow that,

796
00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:42.880
and I'm not talking about the big plan.

797
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:44.480
I'm not talking about like, oh, I'm gonna do this,

798
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.240
and I'm gonna get like the big idea.

799
00:47:46.240 --> 00:47:47.200
I'm not talking about the big idea.

800
00:47:47.200 --> 00:47:52.200
I'm just like, what's one action that you can take?

801
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:58.600
Today or tomorrow and put it in the chat.

802
00:47:58.600 --> 00:48:00.360
Yeah, baby steps, I like that.

803
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:03.600
My parents.

804
00:48:09.240 --> 00:48:13.200
Yeah, talk about intentionality.

805
00:48:13.200 --> 00:48:14.960
What's one small step?

806
00:48:16.560 --> 00:48:18.760
You know, Jesus Cares Board is really cool.

807
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.080
That's why it's an activation.

808
00:48:23.080 --> 00:48:25.160
It kind of goes along with this, you know,

809
00:48:25.160 --> 00:48:26.520
the Jesus Cares Board.

810
00:48:26.520 --> 00:48:29.880
A lot of you have done those because it begins,

811
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:33.440
it's a way of visually representing what it is you want.

812
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:36.520
So maybe you get your Jesus Cares Board back out again.

813
00:48:36.520 --> 00:48:37.760
Maybe you start putting sticky notes

814
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:41.520
on your bathroom mirror all over the place.

815
00:48:41.520 --> 00:48:43.760
But I don't want you to do a million things.

816
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.560
Like, ladies, you're famous.

817
00:48:45.560 --> 00:48:46.480
Like, oh, I'm gonna do this.

818
00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:47.320
I'm gonna do that.

819
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:48.160
I'm gonna think of like a hundred things.

820
00:48:48.160 --> 00:48:49.000
Like, no, no, no, no.

821
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.160
Just do, just think of one thing.

822
00:48:54.080 --> 00:48:56.560
People are gonna pray about what I want,

823
00:48:56.560 --> 00:48:59.040
taking the time, spending more time with God.

824
00:48:59.040 --> 00:49:01.400
I love, Lauren, I love that, spending more time with God,

825
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.200
but I feel like that's too broad

826
00:49:04.200 --> 00:49:06.680
because I feel like it's like,

827
00:49:06.680 --> 00:49:08.600
I'm going to like, I'm gonna spend some more time.

828
00:49:08.600 --> 00:49:11.000
No, I'm gonna get up at 7 a.m.

829
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:13.560
and I'm going to do 15 minutes of really thinking about,

830
00:49:13.560 --> 00:49:17.440
like, be very specific in this step, guys, okay?

831
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:18.880
Be very specific in this step.

832
00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:23.880
What's one step of an action that you can take today

833
00:49:26.160 --> 00:49:31.160
towards dealing with this question, what do I want?

834
00:49:34.600 --> 00:49:37.920
I mean, truly, the first step really is asking the question.

835
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:40.560
You know, that's really the first step.

836
00:49:40.560 --> 00:49:45.200
First step is literally, okay, what do I want?

837
00:49:45.200 --> 00:49:46.440
That's really the first step.

838
00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:50.320
So first step for everyone should be, what do I want?

839
00:49:52.200 --> 00:49:53.040
Okay?

840
00:49:54.680 --> 00:49:57.960
And then taking the time to really process that.

841
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.720
Hopefully, the asking, the journal guide or the work guide that I shared with you will

842
00:50:05.720 --> 00:50:13.320
help you to process through that question.

843
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:16.400
Spending 10 minutes a day, spend the course, good.

844
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:19.840
Commit to posting something on social, good.

845
00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:22.520
Going to drive, lift three nights a week.

846
00:50:22.520 --> 00:50:23.520
Pay down your debt, good.

847
00:50:23.520 --> 00:50:28.280
Baby steps at the airport, a place to try to intentionally smile at people, that's cool.

848
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:32.200
Intentionally smile at people, look at them in the eye and become more approachable, available.

849
00:50:32.200 --> 00:50:33.200
I love that.

850
00:50:33.200 --> 00:50:35.160
I'm going to redo my Jesus Care Board.

851
00:50:35.160 --> 00:50:37.720
After I get up, declare praise verses and what I want.

852
00:50:37.720 --> 00:50:42.280
Pray with revelation, remember, memorize, meditate, relate, because I know my problem.

853
00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:43.280
I want to be debt-free.

854
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:44.280
I love that.

855
00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:45.280
You just declared it out.

856
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.680
Anybody going to declare what you want in here?

857
00:50:47.680 --> 00:50:52.100
I like the action steps, but I see now some of this thing, I want to be debt-free.

858
00:50:52.100 --> 00:50:53.960
So today, I paid a big portion of that off.

859
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:54.960
Wow, that's awesome.

860
00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:55.960
Look at Robin.

861
00:50:56.320 --> 00:51:01.320
Record, talking to myself, that's good, love that, getting myself more structure in my

862
00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:02.320
day.

863
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:11.240
Eliminate one strike, these are growing by so fast, you guys are, be in bed by 10.

864
00:51:11.240 --> 00:51:15.360
I love that, a goal.

865
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:16.360
How do you get the work guide?

866
00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:20.280
Somebody, yeah, put it, posted it right under there for you, it's a Google Docs, I shared

867
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:21.280
it with you.

868
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:24.280
I need to do a Jesus Care Board, yes.

869
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:27.320
Make one t-shirt design, love it.

870
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:30.640
I want to fall in love, absolutely.

871
00:51:30.640 --> 00:51:34.480
I declare I will be married.

872
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:42.040
Pray for what I, pray for what I want daily, I think that's what that says.

873
00:51:42.040 --> 00:51:45.560
You invited a guy at church to your birthday party next month, does that count?

874
00:51:45.560 --> 00:51:47.880
Of course it does.

875
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:50.480
Any action towards what it is you want counts.

876
00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:53.480
How many people we have on here right now?

877
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:56.480
100, is that 106?

878
00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:57.480
Awesome.

879
00:51:57.480 --> 00:51:58.480
160.

880
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:01.480
Oh, 160?

881
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:05.480
166, praise God.

882
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:09.480
This is so good, it's all, this is good stuff, guys, I really appreciate you getting into

883
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:10.480
this.

884
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:12.480
Start conversations with people you don't know.

885
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:14.480
Wow, that's powerful.

886
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.480
Most people are afraid to do that.

887
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:18.480
In the world we live in today, it's crazy out there.

888
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:21.480
You don't know, never know what you're going to get.

889
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:23.480
Start conversations with people you don't know.

890
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:25.480
Make a plan to kick that in the butt.

891
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:27.480
New job.

892
00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:29.480
Schedule a meeting with the estate lawyers.

893
00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:33.480
Finalize documents, yeah, you got to get on that, it's good.

894
00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:35.480
Any action toward what we want, yes, counts.

895
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:39.480
Keep on praying, declaring, dropping, hanky, yeah.

896
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:42.480
Physically fit.

897
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:46.480
Believe motherhood, a great marriage for me.

898
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:53.480
I want to take business mentoring to expand my business, love that.

899
00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:57.480
Yeah, love that, Kim, it's like actually working through the question, yeah, that's huge.

900
00:52:57.480 --> 00:52:59.480
That's not minimal.

901
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:03.480
Like actually working through the question, because I feel like I truly don't know what

902
00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:05.480
I want in any area of my life.

903
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:07.480
That's so powerful.

904
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:10.480
Like just taking it seriously.

905
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:17.480
Some of you have been like, here's my first step, I'm just going to take this seriously.

906
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:20.480
That's a huge step.

907
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.480
Love that.

908
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:27.480
Clean out my closet, love it.

909
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:29.480
Organize my room.

910
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:32.480
Yeah, lots of times you just get your space cleared out.

911
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:37.480
Then you can say, I find it difficult to really have clarity and very clear thought and in

912
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:42.480
a cluttered, messy environment and space, you know.

913
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:47.480
Cut my hours back at work, not get discouraged, keep going, meet new people, go through your

914
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:50.480
workbook, want to be retired, love that.

915
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.480
That's perfect, like want to be retired, so what's it going to mean?

916
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:56.480
What's it going to take for me to be retired?

917
00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:59.480
Start writing my five top dreams.

918
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:03.480
Printing the document, scheduled trip.

919
00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:06.480
Schedule the vacation, schedule the trip.

920
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:09.480
I want to go someplace I've never been before.

921
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:12.480
Okay, got to get a ticket.

922
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:14.480
Schedule the ticket.

923
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.480
Make the plan.

924
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:17.480
Decide where the place is going to be.

925
00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:20.480
Maybe you already have it on your wall, like I want to go to Hawaii, I've never been there.

926
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:22.480
I want to go to Greece, I've never been there.

927
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:23.480
How am I going to do it?

928
00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:24.480
I don't have the money to do it.

929
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:26.480
Well, this is when you start articulating.

930
00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:28.480
God's like, all right, let's get the plans going.

931
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:31.480
I want to create these steps.

932
00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:37.480
That's what his word says.

933
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:38.480
Hallelujah.

934
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:39.480
Apply for a passport.

935
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:42.480
Yeah, if you're going to go international, you can't go without a passport, so you got

936
00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:43.480
to get a passport first.

937
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:46.480
Love that.

938
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:49.480
Ah, so good.

939
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:51.480
All right.

940
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:57.480
We are right at one hour, guys, and I'm going to be honorable to that thing.

941
00:54:57.480 --> 00:54:58.480
It's supposed to be an hour.

942
00:54:58.480 --> 00:54:59.480
I hope you really have enjoyed this.

943
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.640
I really enjoy teaching it, talking about it.

944
00:55:03.640 --> 00:55:05.960
We're talking about this for some time.

945
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:07.680
I've been bothering Jackie with it.

946
00:55:07.680 --> 00:55:10.640
And you're like, just write down the notes.

947
00:55:10.640 --> 00:55:13.200
But just while you're going to teach this,

948
00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:14.960
teach this to the people, all right?

949
00:55:18.080 --> 00:55:21.880
I have another one called Unworthy but Chosen.

950
00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:24.440
It's so good.

951
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:26.600
You can think, I'll just give you a little teaser.

952
00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:29.960
Um, this was the thought.

953
00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:32.760
You can maybe do this a little research on your own,

954
00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:34.360
this thought.

955
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:38.320
My thought was is, it's really weird.

956
00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:39.840
I felt unworthy.

957
00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:41.400
I still feel unworthy times.

958
00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:43.000
I know everybody's felt unworthy.

959
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:44.640
Like, you just don't feel like you deserve it.

960
00:55:44.640 --> 00:55:45.840
You don't feel worthy of it.

961
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:48.800
You don't feel like you can do it.

962
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:50.520
You just don't feel worthy.

963
00:55:50.520 --> 00:55:52.720
You feel unworthy.

964
00:55:52.720 --> 00:55:53.840
I was curious.

965
00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:55.640
And I asked myself this question.

966
00:55:55.640 --> 00:56:02.120
I said, every person, every character that's in the Bible

967
00:56:02.120 --> 00:56:09.040
that found themselves in front of the angel of the Lord

968
00:56:09.040 --> 00:56:13.480
or found themselves literally in front of God, like Moses,

969
00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:17.720
or found them before Jesus, or even found themselves

970
00:56:17.720 --> 00:56:20.480
before a disciple or a prophet or an apostle,

971
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:22.000
one of those, they found themselves.

972
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:24.600
There's many stories and instances in the Bible

973
00:56:24.600 --> 00:56:27.160
where a regular human being like you and me

974
00:56:27.160 --> 00:56:31.400
found themselves in front of this person

975
00:56:31.400 --> 00:56:35.920
and literally fell on their face and said, I'm unworthy.

976
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:40.960
John the Baptist said, I'm unworthy to even untie his laces

977
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:42.720
when he was in front of Jesus.

978
00:56:42.720 --> 00:56:44.680
Here's the dude that was the most radical believer

979
00:56:44.680 --> 00:56:45.640
you could ever be.

980
00:56:45.640 --> 00:56:47.080
If you want to be the most radical believer

981
00:56:47.080 --> 00:56:50.560
you ever could be, John the Baptist is your guy.

982
00:56:50.560 --> 00:56:53.240
And he's like, I'm unworthy to untie sandals.

983
00:56:53.240 --> 00:56:57.880
But in every instance, in every instance

984
00:56:57.880 --> 00:57:00.920
where the character is finding himself unworthy

985
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:05.680
before in the presence of Jesus, God, an angel, all this,

986
00:57:05.680 --> 00:57:11.560
none of those superior beings, God himself, Jesus, an angel,

987
00:57:11.560 --> 00:57:16.480
a prophet, an apostle, none of them,

988
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:21.960
none of them agreed with the person.

989
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:25.000
Think about that for a second, that for a second.

990
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:28.000
Jesus, somebody came before Jesus and said, I'm unworthy.

991
00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:29.960
Jesus didn't go, that's right, you're unworthy.

992
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:31.080
I'm Jesus.

993
00:57:31.080 --> 00:57:34.360
He didn't say that.

994
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:37.160
Matter of fact, when they called, oh, you are good,

995
00:57:37.160 --> 00:57:40.400
Jesus, he goes, why do you call me good?

996
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:43.760
Father's the only one that's good.

997
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:45.880
And this is a whole teaching, but you

998
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:47.640
can explore some of your own.

999
00:57:47.640 --> 00:57:50.400
I want you to answer the question yourself, why?

1000
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:54.280
They affirmed, they didn't say, oh, yeah, that's right,

1001
00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:55.080
you are unworthy.

1002
00:57:55.080 --> 00:57:58.520
They said, get up from here, stand up.

1003
00:57:58.520 --> 00:58:01.840
Well, not in a hateful way, like, hey, what are you doing?

1004
00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:03.640
Just stand up, talk to me.

1005
00:58:03.640 --> 00:58:05.520
I'm here to give you a message.

1006
00:58:05.520 --> 00:58:09.640
I'm here to reveal something to you.

1007
00:58:09.640 --> 00:58:12.720
Not one of them were rebuked for saying

1008
00:58:12.720 --> 00:58:14.920
I'm unworthy or agreed with.

1009
00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:16.720
They were actually encouraged to stand up,

1010
00:58:16.720 --> 00:58:18.760
to rise up, to be something, to be elevated,

1011
00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:21.040
to be exalted, to be honored.

1012
00:58:21.040 --> 00:58:23.160
Matter of fact, when Jesus' disciples

1013
00:58:23.160 --> 00:58:25.920
were arguing themselves, talking about who's

1014
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:28.880
going to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven,

1015
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.920
Jesus didn't rebuke them about wanting to be great.

1016
00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:36.240
He showed them how to be great.

1017
00:58:36.240 --> 00:58:41.400
And he said, being the servant of all or being the servant

1018
00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:45.200
is the greatest thing, right?

1019
00:58:45.240 --> 00:58:50.040
Notice how God never agrees with you in your unworthiness.

1020
00:58:50.040 --> 00:58:53.000
He always calls you up higher.

1021
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:55.600
So that's something you want to think about, Sean,

1022
00:58:55.600 --> 00:58:56.720
and ask about that.

1023
00:58:56.720 --> 00:58:58.640
The whole teaching about that's really good.

1024
00:58:58.640 --> 00:58:59.480
God bless you guys.

1025
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:00.640
I love you all.

1026
00:59:00.640 --> 00:59:03.160
Hope you got a lot out of this tonight.

1027
00:59:03.160 --> 00:59:05.840
If you missed the download in the comments,

1028
00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:08.440
just email into us, and we can maybe share that link with you

1029
00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:09.600
or somewhere, I don't know.

1030
00:59:09.600 --> 00:59:12.040
Maybe you can put it in the app or something.

1031
00:59:12.040 --> 00:59:15.440
Go back and listen to Supernatural Saturday

1032
00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:17.120
if you didn't get it, and connect

1033
00:59:17.120 --> 00:59:20.280
that with the teaching tonight, the full scope of that.

1034
00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:22.480
We'll see you on the next live and whatever it is.

1035
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:23.080
God bless you.

1036
00:59:23.080 --> 00:59:23.880
Love you.

1037
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:26.800
Have a great, great night.

1038
00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:28.880
Thank you, Dee.
