1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.600
court. All right, I'm going to give a second welcome because I didn't push for court. Thank

2
00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:11.760
you for your patience. It's okay. You guys can see I'm real. I'm real human. I make mistakes.

3
00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:18.240
Welcome to day one of Resurrect Your Spirit and Business. We're going to be together six days

4
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:26.480
all the way through Saturday morning leading up to Resurrection Sunday, the day that changed all

5
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:34.080
of history. And I believe this week has the hugest potential based on 10 years of leading this

6
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:41.840
with the upgrades has the potential to completely uplevel your spirit, your business,

7
00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.640
the way that you are living, the amount of clarity, the amount of peace, the amount of joy,

8
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:57.680
the amount of hearing the presence of God, feeling his lead, reconnecting. It's going to be very

9
00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:03.520
transformational. So turn off all distractions. Thank you for showing up live. It's most powerful.

10
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:09.840
We can interact in the chat. I'll probably stay for a minute after the recording and even answer

11
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:17.920
any questions if you want. So the biggest question that I think we face that changes the course of

12
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:35.680
our life is who or what is our source? Who or what is your source? My source. Today is about

13
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:44.080
life union. It's about returning to the true source. You see so often we make our spouse our

14
00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:50.160
source, our clients, our source, the government, our source, our own self, whatever it is.

15
00:01:50.880 --> 00:02:00.560
And what we think ends up being the challenge is I don't have enough time. I'm going to tell

16
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.080
you today it's not a time problem. I just don't know what to do. I'm going to tell you today it's

17
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:16.320
not a strategy problem. I'm going to bring a different angle. It is a connection problem.

18
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:22.160
You see, I believe that you're not tired because you're doing too much.

19
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:34.160
I believe you're tired because you're doing a disconnected from the source. So today is going

20
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:43.040
to be about reconnecting powerfully. I'm going to share some slides just to help you get the most

21
00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:55.360
from this. And I'm super excited to share this. So hopefully someone give me, Shaley, give me a

22
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.600
thumbs up if you guys are seeing this or Charla, I see you. Give me a thumbs up if you're seeing

23
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:04.960
the slide. Okay, beautiful. All right. So again, welcome to resurrect your spirit and business.

24
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:13.040
Today is about life union. It's about returning to the source. You see, you're not tired because

25
00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:21.440
you're doing too much. You're tired because you're doing it disconnected from the source.

26
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:28.080
And I think this is going to become more and more real for you as we go through.

27
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.880
So we're going to go through some scriptures to just anchor this. We're going to start with the

28
00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:42.480
book of John. And this is the Passion Translation. And just let this soak in. Put on a beginner's

29
00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:49.040
mind and just hear this for the first time. Just pretend that our Lord and Savior is just speaking

30
00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:54.480
to you right now, brand new. He's tapping you on the shoulder. He's whispering in your ear.

31
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:06.400
And I want you to hear this. He says, live in life union with me. I love the way in the Passion

32
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:13.200
Translated that that's hyphenated. Think about that word, life union. Jesus is calling us to live

33
00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:19.760
in life union with me. And then he goes into the metaphor of a branch, vine and branches.

34
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:31.120
And he says, for as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be

35
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:42.560
fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine. I want you just to think about

36
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:52.800
that, the contrast here of a fruitless life. Imagine going through your whole life and you're

37
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:59.920
a tree that's just designed to bear luscious, luscious fruit. And for the entire life.

38
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:11.880
life of that tree. There's no fruit. On the contrary, as you live your life in union with

39
00:05:11.880 --> 00:05:23.920
me as your source, this is a big word, source. Fruitfulness will stream up from within you.

40
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.360
Notice where this comes from. It just bubbles up. Rivers of living water flow out of your

41
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:35.640
belly. This fruitfulness doesn't come from outside. It's not trying to get or find or

42
00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:42.520
attach or anything else. This fruitfulness is going to originate within you. But when

43
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:55.180
you live separated from me, you are powerless. What a contrast. A life of fruit and power

44
00:05:55.180 --> 00:06:11.740
and a life of fruitlessness. This is a deep thought. Disconnected, powerless. Connected,

45
00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:29.500
fruit flows. Jesus went on to say that they may all be one. This is Jesus's last prayer.

46
00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:36.420
Last prayer before he was crucified. So we're backing up from resurrection and Jesus is

47
00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:42.420
talking to the father so intimately. He's so connected to the source, the father. And

48
00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:51.820
he's saying that they all, us, you, me, the disciples may be one just as you father are

49
00:06:51.820 --> 00:07:01.460
in me and I in you that they also may be in us. I want you to see this interweaving. He's

50
00:07:01.460 --> 00:07:12.340
saying you father, creator, God, you're in me. And creator, God, I'm in you. And they are all

51
00:07:12.340 --> 00:07:24.100
in us. I'm in them. There's this interconnected. Colossians 121 says although you were at one time

52
00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:38.580
estranged and alienated from him. You see, we were created by very nature. We were created for union

53
00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:46.420
and we hunger for that union. We crave it. We try to find it. We try to find it in a person.

54
00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:52.020
We try to find it in our purpose. We try to find it in career. We try to find it in

55
00:07:52.820 --> 00:08:00.660
in some kind of connection or recognition or promotion or we try to find it somewhere.

56
00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:10.340
But we were created for union. We were never meant to just figure this out. We were never

57
00:08:10.340 --> 00:08:20.980
meant to carry this alone. We were never meant to live in separation. And I want to tell you my

58
00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:30.500
experience is that most women that I coach and that I know and I see they're partially connected.

59
00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:35.700
I don't know. You can almost picture the vine in the branch and it's just kind of like you ever

60
00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:43.059
seen one of branches cut off and it's just it's just kind of barely hanging on. What do I mean?

61
00:08:44.020 --> 00:08:52.100
We pray. Oh God, just help me. God, I need you to come through. God, please let me know you're real.

62
00:08:52.660 --> 00:09:00.580
And then we walk away and we strive and we do it in our own strength and we push and we hustle

63
00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:14.500
and we fight. We connect and then we disconnect. We seek God and then we build alone.

64
00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:20.660
And this leads

65
00:09:20.660 --> 00:09:35.140
to fragmentation. It's a huge word. A huge word. Fragmentation.

66
00:09:37.140 --> 00:09:45.460
Fragmentation. It's an internal separation and division and it's an external separation

67
00:09:46.180 --> 00:09:51.140
and division. Fragmentation.

68
00:09:55.380 --> 00:09:59.860
So we live in this partial

69
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:09.380
connection, we pray, we go through our morning spiritual practice, we do what we

70
00:10:09.380 --> 00:10:15.300
can do, then we walk away as if nothing happened and we strive and we do it in

71
00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:19.800
our own strength and our own power. Put in the chat if I'm talking to anybody, am

72
00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:26.480
I the only one or am I talking to you? And so we have this this almost like

73
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.480
whiplash in our life. We have moments where we connect and then we disconnect

74
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.520
and we live under pressure and we we press into God and we know we need him

75
00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:44.840
and then we just go try to do it ourselves. Am I talking to anybody? This

76
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:52.920
is what we're gonna change this week. You see when we're fragmented and James 1

77
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:58.160
8 talks about being double-minded, this fragmentation. It talks about being

78
00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:04.320
divided and it says that when we are divided like that, when we're double

79
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:10.080
minded like that, it says that we're unstable in all our ways. This is what

80
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:15.560
we're experiencing as a culture, unstable in all our ways. We lack certainty, we

81
00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:20.600
lack peace, we lack clear direction, we're always trying to figure it out.

82
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:32.120
Right? And so what happens with this fragmentation is that we're divided

83
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:41.320
internally, what James 1 is talking about, and we're inconsistent externally. Our

84
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:52.080
results are inconsistent, inconsistent. And so this has a very real cost. This

85
00:11:52.080 --> 00:12:01.320
has a very real cost. And so in the spirit, what we see is that it becomes

86
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:15.880
harder. It's harder to hear God. We feel a distance. We feel dry. We feel

87
00:12:15.880 --> 00:12:22.520
unclear. And so it's affecting our spirit and our spiritual life. But it

88
00:12:22.520 --> 00:12:30.400
also is affecting our body. This is why we live so much in the sympathetic, the

89
00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:37.160
fight or flight, the high cortisol, the stress, the high blood pressure, the

90
00:12:37.160 --> 00:12:43.720
breakdowns. Because the cortisol is rising and we have the stress response

91
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:52.880
and we're in survival mode. And it affects our mind and our emotions. We're

92
00:12:52.880 --> 00:12:58.080
overthinking all the time. We're always trying to figure it out. We're anxious.

93
00:12:58.680 --> 00:13:06.440
We're in pressure. And it affects our business, ladies. It affects our

94
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:11.120
business. Good to see you, Amanda. I love having two Amandas. You guys got to

95
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:18.200
meet each other. It's so fun. All right. Affects our business. We're forcing it.

96
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:29.160
The hustle, the grind, the striving. Those of you that have read my book, and if you

97
00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:35.640
haven't, this is a good complement with this, my book, The Inner Slave Woman. It's

98
00:13:35.640 --> 00:13:41.440
affecting every area of our life, the inner slave woman. And so in our business,

99
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:47.600
we're forcing instead of flowing. We're second-guessing. We're jumping from

100
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.680
guru to guru. And we're jumping from, you know, tactic and strategy and platform.

101
00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:59.000
And we keep thinking that if we change something outside, that it'll fix it. And

102
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.520
so you can be doing all the right things, but you still feel like nothing is

103
00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:14.520
working. So here's the truth. Disconnection is not neutral. It has a

104
00:14:14.800 --> 00:14:22.640
cost. We're paying that cost right now. This level of disconnection, disconnected

105
00:14:22.640 --> 00:14:27.840
from God, disconnected from each other, disconnected from ourself, ladies,

106
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:32.880
disconnected. Our mind and our heart are no longer in coherence. We're

107
00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:38.280
disconnected. We're disconnected from our body. We have symptoms and we think that

108
00:14:38.280 --> 00:14:43.040
they're just random things. I'm telling you, the symptoms you're experiencing in

109
00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:50.280
your body, if you've never read Feelings Buried Alive, Never Die, or something

110
00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:58.080
similar, and you look in that glossary, I can tell you, coaching since 2012, this

111
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.040
disconnection is not neutral.

112
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.540
It has a cost and it's a big cost.

113
00:15:05.540 --> 00:15:07.180
It's a big cost.

114
00:15:07.180 --> 00:15:13.500
So let's look at the truth of what we really have this resurrection week.

115
00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:15.260
Why are we doing this course?

116
00:15:15.260 --> 00:15:17.940
Why are we spending this time together?

117
00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:19.500
What's possible?

118
00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:25.100
What can change in our life that can completely change the course of our health and of our

119
00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:29.620
peace and of our prosperity and of our relationships?

120
00:15:29.620 --> 00:15:30.900
What can change?

121
00:15:30.900 --> 00:15:32.140
It's this week.

122
00:15:32.140 --> 00:15:36.620
It's what happened Sunday morning when he rose again.

123
00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:39.340
So let's look at a couple of scriptures.

124
00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:49.780
Galatians 2.20 says, my old identity has been co-crucified.

125
00:15:49.780 --> 00:16:02.380
And now the anointed one lives his life through me.

126
00:16:02.380 --> 00:16:05.220
This is a different way of living.

127
00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:08.740
It's what scripture calls Christ in me, the hope of glory.

128
00:16:08.740 --> 00:16:13.580
It's the thing that separates Christianity from every other religion.

129
00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:14.860
It's the power.

130
00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:19.060
It's the greater is he that is in me that is in the world.

131
00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:21.420
We don't have awareness.

132
00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:24.540
He can be in us, but we're not living it.

133
00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:28.580
He's not living his life through us.

134
00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:34.420
And so this whole week, we're going to go through, scripture says that we're crucified,

135
00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:35.920
we're co-crucified.

136
00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:38.500
It says we're buried with him.

137
00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:41.100
It says we're resurrected with him.

138
00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:43.160
It says we're seated in high places.

139
00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:45.860
This is what you're going to go through this week.

140
00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:54.740
I'm going to lead you through very deep experiences, deep transformation of what this looks like.

141
00:16:54.740 --> 00:17:01.140
You're going to actually live it in your body, in your mind, in your heart, being co-crucified

142
00:17:01.140 --> 00:17:03.980
and experience him.

143
00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:08.140
Christ in me, the hope of glory.

144
00:17:08.140 --> 00:17:13.099
Christ in me, not striving.

145
00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:15.579
Christ in me.

146
00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:23.740
And so what I want you to get from this is that fruit, and there's an inner fruit that

147
00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:24.980
we all desire.

148
00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:26.619
It's called the fruits of the spirit.

149
00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:29.980
There's an inner fruit, love, incredible love.

150
00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:43.340
When you know that you are so loved, that that love is in you, that you are love, peace,

151
00:17:44.060 --> 00:17:52.260
peace that passes all understanding.

152
00:17:52.260 --> 00:17:55.740
There's an inner fruit, love.

153
00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:58.340
You're not looking for love outside of yourself.

154
00:17:58.340 --> 00:18:01.620
You feel so loved.

155
00:18:01.620 --> 00:18:06.860
You know moment by moment that love is in you.

156
00:18:06.860 --> 00:18:10.740
The creator of the universe, God, God is love.

157
00:18:10.740 --> 00:18:17.140
You are aware of this presence of love and you're so aware of peace.

158
00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:20.740
Jesus said, peace I give you not as the world gives you.

159
00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:25.780
So there's this inner fruit of love and peace and joy.

160
00:18:25.780 --> 00:18:27.860
What's happened to the joy?

161
00:18:27.860 --> 00:18:31.740
The joy of the Lord is my strength near at Maya 810.

162
00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:38.060
So what we're doing this week is about an inner experience, an inner fruit.

163
00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:39.740
It's also an outer fruit.

164
00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:42.540
I don't separate those.

165
00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:45.460
The outer fruit is income.

166
00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:47.460
It's true prosperity.

167
00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:55.260
It's where you're prospering in all things, physically, financially, spiritually, relationally.

168
00:18:55.260 --> 00:18:57.060
It's impact.

169
00:18:57.060 --> 00:19:03.780
And so what I want you to get is that fruit is not produced by effort.

170
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:09.740
Fruit flows from connection.

171
00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:18.980
And so I open with the question, who or what is your source?

172
00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:24.420
What's the first thing you turn to in hard times?

173
00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:25.420
Where do you go first?

174
00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:28.100
You suddenly get a symptom in your body.

175
00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:31.140
You suddenly get a medical scare.

176
00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:34.740
Where do you go first?

177
00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:38.260
You suddenly get a financial scare.

178
00:19:38.260 --> 00:19:40.700
The pressure is high.

179
00:19:40.700 --> 00:19:42.260
Where do you go first?

180
00:19:42.260 --> 00:19:46.100
These are clues as to who or what is your source.

181
00:19:46.100 --> 00:19:48.060
You're scared.

182
00:19:48.060 --> 00:19:50.380
You're lonely.

183
00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:51.460
You're in pain.

184
00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:52.900
You're hurting.

185
00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:56.500
Where do you go first?

186
00:19:56.500 --> 00:19:59.860
Who or what?

187
00:19:59.860 --> 00:20:00.860
These are clues as to who or what is your source.

188
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.760
your source. Because here's what I want to tell you, that whatever

189
00:20:00.860 --> 00:20:01.860
You're scared.

190
00:20:01.860 --> 00:20:02.860
You're lonely.

191
00:20:02.860 --> 00:20:02.860


192
00:20:06.760 --> 00:20:13.140
you're sourcing, determines wherever your sources determines

193
00:20:13.140 --> 00:20:16.360
your energy, it determines your clarity, it determines your

194
00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:22.560
results. So, you know, fear is going to lead to pressure self,

195
00:20:23.040 --> 00:20:26.360
if we're relying on ourself, which there's a whole movement of

196
00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:34.560
relying on ourself, it's twisted. It's not me. Jesus said

197
00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:37.440
apart from me, you can do nothing, you're powerless, we

198
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:46.800
open with that verse. But with me, ah, yes. Power, power, power

199
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.080
leads to flow. So fruits not the reward of an effort, it's the

200
00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:57.840
result of connection. And so when you're disconnected from

201
00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:04.400
God, your body knows, your mind knows, your business knows, your

202
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:11.280
finances know. And so today, I wanted to lay a foundation.

203
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:18.920
Today, I want to return to this union to this connection. And of

204
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.880
course, transformation always starts with awareness. So we're

205
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.880
starting with awareness. And so when I teach when you've heard

206
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:36.720
me teach about a daily spiritual practice, this is non

207
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:45.200
negotiable. To not have this is to go through life without food.

208
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:50.080
Right? They were always looking for food in the Bible, they were

209
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:53.440
looking for bread. And Jesus would say, I bread you don't

210
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:57.520
know of. He said, I am the living bread, I am the living

211
00:21:57.520 --> 00:22:05.240
water. So it's tapping into an endless, eternal, immortal,

212
00:22:05.280 --> 00:22:12.760
unlimited, unfathomable source of nutrition for your soul, for

213
00:22:12.760 --> 00:22:19.960
your body, for your mind. And to disconnect from that is to

214
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:27.160
live disconnected. And so that's why I created the prosper daily

215
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:33.000
planner. And if you don't have this yet, this is a starting

216
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:39.160
place to putting your life back in order and not scattered. The

217
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:43.320
daily routine in here has worked for me and countless,

218
00:22:43.320 --> 00:22:50.320
countless, countless women. I don't miss a day. I live by

219
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:58.080
this. This is how I do my days. I know I'm not making it straight

220
00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:03.520
that you can see it. But you get the idea. This is how I see if I

221
00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:08.560
can open it straight. Anyway, you guys get the idea. And the

222
00:23:08.560 --> 00:23:14.640
top of it is what we're talking about today. Okay, which is the

223
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:20.560
morning spiritual practice, the golden hour. And those of you in

224
00:23:20.560 --> 00:23:24.040
business, I've taught you the magic where you go from the

225
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:29.480
golden hour to the overflow hour. That was in the multiply

226
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:34.800
without striving masterclass. If you miss that, it is the

227
00:23:34.800 --> 00:23:39.440
simplest strategy for building your business. We're getting

228
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.560
women's income higher than they've ever been faster. What

229
00:23:43.560 --> 00:23:48.040
used to take a year is taking 90 days to grow the income, we're

230
00:23:48.040 --> 00:23:53.000
actually hitting six figures. I mean, I've got some women now

231
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:58.920
hitting 15 16,000 in two months, even it's like it's condensing,

232
00:23:59.040 --> 00:24:02.880
because it's building the way Jesus built. And so in there, we

233
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.520
go from the golden hour, which is what we do each morning,

234
00:24:06.520 --> 00:24:10.800
which we're doing some of this here this week, so that you have

235
00:24:10.800 --> 00:24:14.560
a new habit, you've set aside time. And we go when we're

236
00:24:14.560 --> 00:24:19.280
filled up and we're reconnected. And we're operating from that

237
00:24:19.280 --> 00:24:22.840
place of wholeness and not fragmentation. We go from there

238
00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:28.400
and we spill out on social media and in our email, and we just we

239
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:31.760
just gush rivers of living water flow out of us and we just spill

240
00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:35.680
out on our clients and they're magnetized and they're blessed

241
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:41.240
and your business grows and they join you. And so there's a daily

242
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.600
spiritual practice that's listed in there. And you can just check

243
00:24:45.600 --> 00:24:48.440
it off. And it doesn't matter how many minutes if you're brand

244
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.320
new, do a few of them and do one minute, I don't care, start

245
00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:55.960
somewhere and then work up to five minutes. But be consistent

246
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.720
work up to 10 minutes. This is non

247
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.600
goshable, okay?

248
00:25:02.600 --> 00:25:05.280
All right, I wanna do a practice.

249
00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:07.080
I'm gonna go through a few things

250
00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:09.960
just to let you experience some of the morning practice,

251
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.640
some of the things I do that just keep me on fire,

252
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:17.760
keep me alive, keep me prospering internally and externally.

253
00:25:17.760 --> 00:25:20.920
I wanna do some of those with you today,

254
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.100
and we're gonna end with a powerful meditation, okay?

255
00:25:25.020 --> 00:25:29.820
So I wanna start with breath,

256
00:25:30.780 --> 00:25:35.780
and I can't remember if I had a slide for that,

257
00:25:37.340 --> 00:25:38.820
but if I don't, it doesn't matter.

258
00:25:38.820 --> 00:25:41.540
Let's see, let's see if I'm on track.

259
00:25:41.540 --> 00:25:46.540
Okay, in him we live and move and have our being.

260
00:25:47.860 --> 00:25:52.220
In him we live and move and have our being.

261
00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:54.580
Yes, here it is.

262
00:25:54.580 --> 00:25:58.340
I want you to understand a concept in scripture.

263
00:25:58.340 --> 00:26:03.340
The same word for spirit and breath, ruach, ruach,

264
00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:14.180
spirit, Holy Spirit, ruach, is the same word for breath.

265
00:26:15.780 --> 00:26:17.340
And if you think about our life,

266
00:26:17.340 --> 00:26:22.340
if you think about creation, God breathed into Adam

267
00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:25.020
and he became a living soul.

268
00:26:25.020 --> 00:26:28.620
And when we die, we breathe out our last breath.

269
00:26:28.620 --> 00:26:31.940
When a baby is born, breathe in that first breath.

270
00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:34.380
So breath is life.

271
00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:36.260
Breath is spirit.

272
00:26:37.340 --> 00:26:39.980
And we in our culture,

273
00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:42.180
we don't understand the importance of breath.

274
00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:43.820
We don't breathe.

275
00:26:43.820 --> 00:26:45.300
We're hunched over.

276
00:26:45.300 --> 00:26:48.260
We're looking at stuff in computer all the time.

277
00:26:48.260 --> 00:26:50.060
We don't keep airways.

278
00:26:50.060 --> 00:26:53.100
We don't know how to breathe deep.

279
00:26:53.100 --> 00:26:57.060
We don't know how to use breath to calm our nervous system,

280
00:26:57.060 --> 00:26:59.180
connect with God.

281
00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:01.980
And so one of the first things you can do to reconnect,

282
00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:06.980
that's so simple, no matter where you are, is breathe.

283
00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:08.940
Breathe.

284
00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:10.780
So I want you to put your feet on the ground

285
00:27:10.780 --> 00:27:14.860
and I want you to experience that, okay?

286
00:27:15.780 --> 00:27:19.460
The first thing I want you to understand is timing.

287
00:27:20.380 --> 00:27:24.300
God has created it that when the exhale

288
00:27:24.300 --> 00:27:27.780
is longer than the inhale,

289
00:27:27.780 --> 00:27:32.540
it activates your parasympathetic, your rest and digest.

290
00:27:32.540 --> 00:27:34.100
It lowers the stress.

291
00:27:34.100 --> 00:27:36.540
It lowers the cortisol.

292
00:27:36.540 --> 00:27:39.940
It just, there's so much that happens in the body.

293
00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:41.700
So if you do nothing else,

294
00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:45.940
make sure the exhale is longer than the inhale, okay?

295
00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:49.540
So if you were gonna breathe in to a count of four,

296
00:27:51.420 --> 00:27:52.860
practice this with me,

297
00:27:53.820 --> 00:27:56.500
then breathe out to a count of six.

298
00:28:01.180 --> 00:28:04.340
So do that again with me.

299
00:28:04.340 --> 00:28:06.620
Breathe in to a count of four.

300
00:28:09.820 --> 00:28:10.660
Hold it.

301
00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:15.300
And then breathe out to a count of six.

302
00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:22.420
One more time.

303
00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:39.260
That just reset your body.

304
00:28:40.260 --> 00:28:44.700
Now, this is how I start by reconnecting.

305
00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:48.460
And one of my favorite things to reconnect

306
00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:51.460
is what we're reading, that Jesus said,

307
00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:55.180
that he's in us, that we're in him, that we're one.

308
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.020
And so I like to breathe in

309
00:28:58.020 --> 00:29:01.020
and just imagine God just filling me.

310
00:29:01.020 --> 00:29:04.420
And I say, you are in me.

311
00:29:05.300 --> 00:29:07.820
And I just imagine breathing it in.

312
00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:13.340
And then I say, I'm in you.

313
00:29:13.340 --> 00:29:17.340
And I lean forward and I just imagine,

314
00:29:17.340 --> 00:29:21.300
the Bible says we're hidden in Christ, right?

315
00:29:21.300 --> 00:29:25.100
So I'm in you.

316
00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:31.260
You're in me.

317
00:29:32.260 --> 00:29:33.820
You're in me.

318
00:29:33.820 --> 00:29:34.660
I'm in you.

319
00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:36.060
I'm sorry, I said that backwards.

320
00:29:36.060 --> 00:29:37.340
You're in me.

321
00:29:41.020 --> 00:29:42.180
And I'm in you.

322
00:29:48.140 --> 00:29:49.260
We are one.

323
00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:53.340
Get that visual, do it again with me.

324
00:29:54.300 --> 00:29:55.420
You're in me.

325
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.000
I'm in you.

326
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:08.880
We are one.

327
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:16.440
You can also say, I love you.

328
00:30:20.120 --> 00:30:22.120
You love me.

329
00:30:22.120 --> 00:30:24.120
We are one.

330
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:31.880
You love me.

331
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:35.480
I love you.

332
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.600
We are one.

333
00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:44.360
How many of you

334
00:30:44.520 --> 00:30:45.640
already

335
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:51.160
feel something different just doing that? If that's all you did in the morning to remind you,

336
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:57.400
put in the chat if you feel something different there.

337
00:30:59.560 --> 00:31:01.560
Now,

338
00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:07.000
what else can we do in the morning that makes such a difference? We can start with breath.

339
00:31:08.600 --> 00:31:10.600
And if,

340
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:13.400
if,

341
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:18.440
let me just see what's buzzing everywhere. I want to get rid of that. Hold on just one second. That's gotta go.

342
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.440
Okay, there we go. Let me come back to you. Okay.

343
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:24.920
So,

344
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:31.320
if you've been disconnected, every day is brand new. God is saying return to me. There's no judgment.

345
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:36.680
There's no condemnation. I want you to think of the word Jesus used so often, which is

346
00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:39.080
repent.

347
00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:42.920
Repent. It just means make a spiritual U-turn.

348
00:31:44.120 --> 00:31:46.120
Make a spiritual

349
00:31:46.600 --> 00:31:52.600
U-turn. And so you say, where have I been doing life without you?

350
00:31:54.360 --> 00:31:58.920
God, I, I, I repent. I make a U-turn. No, we're in this together.

351
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.600
It's like a husband and wife, which is the closest thing

352
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:06.140
God could come when you have a husband and wife that are truly united.

353
00:32:06.520 --> 00:32:10.940
We see what happens when a husband and wife are separated. It's kind of hell, honestly.

354
00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:18.380
But when a husband and, and, and wife are operating as one, it's a model of what Jesus wanted to do. And so

355
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:23.180
sometimes, it's like I was talking to a woman last night at salsa and

356
00:32:23.900 --> 00:32:28.700
I can see they're just going separate and it's not looking good. And I said, just pull back.

357
00:32:29.340 --> 00:32:31.340
Maybe take a trip.

358
00:32:31.420 --> 00:32:32.620
Get back

359
00:32:32.620 --> 00:32:34.300
to each other.

360
00:32:34.300 --> 00:32:37.020
Remember, the Bible says, remember your first love.

361
00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:41.420
What is it that made you fall in love with God in the first place?

362
00:32:42.520 --> 00:32:44.520
Remember your first love.

363
00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:53.840
And so now this is the time and in the daily spiritual practice, you have some time to read scripture.

364
00:32:54.780 --> 00:33:02.800
This is like receiving. It's living water. It just, it just fills you and it doesn't have to be a lot, even a paragraph.

365
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:06.880
Sometimes God's going to lead you to the same thing.

366
00:33:07.600 --> 00:33:15.840
Over the past months, I've been reading Psalms 91 and Psalms 23, just dozens and dozens and dozens of times.

367
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:18.400
Sometimes just one paragraph at a time.

368
00:33:20.800 --> 00:33:22.800
He who dwells

369
00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:26.400
in the shelter of the Almighty

370
00:33:27.600 --> 00:33:29.600
will find rest.

371
00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:31.600
Rest.

372
00:33:31.600 --> 00:33:36.240
You just think about that. He who dwells. What does it mean to dwell?

373
00:33:36.800 --> 00:33:43.360
Like you chew like the cud of a cow. That's what meditate means. You're chewing like the cud.

374
00:33:44.080 --> 00:33:49.680
And you're just chewing on a verse. Better to digest a verse than eat a whole steak or a whole cow.

375
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:53.760
Okay, just a little bit. And then

376
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:59.220
one of my favorite morning things to do as we commune. Think about communication.

377
00:34:00.620 --> 00:34:02.080
Commune.

378
00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:05.380
There's two things I do to just really have a conversation

379
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:07.360
with God.

380
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:09.360
One is journaling.

381
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.440
Okay, and I consider, you know, there's the rhema,

382
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:19.440
revealed word of God. There's the logos, written word of God. So when you're reading the Bible, it's logos.

383
00:34:19.520 --> 00:34:24.480
You're reading the written word of God and we treasure it. It has life. It has breath. Okay.

384
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:27.780
And then the rhema is the revealed

385
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:35.600
word of God. And so I use heartbound journals. I've got these on my shelf

386
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:40.239
because this to me is rhema. It's also the word of God.

387
00:34:41.120 --> 00:34:44.179
Scripture talks about when people would get revelation,

388
00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:51.780
like Mary, and she'd get revelation from the angels or they'd hear from the Holy Spirit and it would say they would store these

389
00:34:51.860 --> 00:34:53.860
things in their heart.

390
00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:59.380
What are you doing with the revealed word? What are you doing with what God shows you?

391
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.200
So here's how I do journaling.

392
00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:07.000
Do you notice there's two colors?

393
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:11.760
So the pink, that's me talking to God.

394
00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:16.220
And it's asking questions.

395
00:35:16.220 --> 00:35:19.380
And it's just rich.

396
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.440
What do you want me to know in this situation?

397
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:24.400
What do you want me to be?

398
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:25.400
What do you want me to do?

399
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:27.760
What do you want me to understand?

400
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.240
And I can ask very specific questions.

401
00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:35.240
Then I change pens and I use a purple pen and I write.

402
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.840
And when this is first new, it might feel a little,

403
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.000
just don't judge yourself.

404
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.480
Don't go back and correct it.

405
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:44.440
Just allow, ask the Holy Spirit to write through you.

406
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:49.400
The Bible says that our pen can be a mighty instrument.

407
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:54.400
And so you write and I don't even read it until I'm done.

408
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.440
And you might come to a stopping place and you say,

409
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:00.560
is there more Lord?

410
00:36:00.560 --> 00:36:03.000
And you write some more.

411
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.380
And then here's what's really powerful and beautiful.

412
00:36:05.380 --> 00:36:08.620
You could read it that day, but here's what I encourage you.

413
00:36:08.620 --> 00:36:11.760
Read it like a week later, like that Sunday,

414
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:13.320
go back through, you notice I have things

415
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.740
that are underlined and highlighted.

416
00:36:15.740 --> 00:36:17.320
Because this is the rhema word of God.

417
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:20.600
I go back, I forgot God even said that.

418
00:36:20.600 --> 00:36:23.060
And a week later, I go back a month later,

419
00:36:23.060 --> 00:36:25.060
I go back a quarter later.

420
00:36:25.060 --> 00:36:26.740
It's like, oh my goodness,

421
00:36:26.740 --> 00:36:30.100
the Lord was setting me up completely.

422
00:36:30.100 --> 00:36:34.160
Like revelation knowledge flows freely through you.

423
00:36:34.160 --> 00:36:36.620
So journaling is a powerful part

424
00:36:36.620 --> 00:36:39.980
of your morning spiritual practice, okay?

425
00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:44.080
Another powerful part of morning practice is gratitude.

426
00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:50.460
And gratitude actually just raises our frequency.

427
00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:53.140
If you understand energy,

428
00:36:53.140 --> 00:36:55.360
everything that God created is frequency.

429
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:56.500
Don't get weirded out.

430
00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:58.060
Frequency means wavelength.

431
00:36:58.060 --> 00:37:00.360
There's like slow wavelengths.

432
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:03.500
There's very fast and high wavelengths, okay?

433
00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:05.860
And everything has a wavelength.

434
00:37:05.860 --> 00:37:09.980
Things that have a very low lead to disease and death.

435
00:37:09.980 --> 00:37:12.000
Things that have a very high lead

436
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:13.420
to the fruits of the spirit.

437
00:37:13.420 --> 00:37:16.980
The highest frequencies are love, joy, and peace, okay?

438
00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:18.060
This is science.

439
00:37:18.060 --> 00:37:19.400
This is Bible.

440
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:23.600
And so one of the ways to raise your frequency

441
00:37:23.600 --> 00:37:24.960
at any given moment,

442
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:29.160
you can do this throughout the day, is gratitude.

443
00:37:29.160 --> 00:37:31.440
And you just like from the time you wake up,

444
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:34.680
instead of waking up and, oh, I hate that alarm.

445
00:37:34.680 --> 00:37:37.040
And waking up in the spirit of lack,

446
00:37:37.040 --> 00:37:38.840
oh, I don't have enough time.

447
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.960
I don't have enough money.

448
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:41.320
I don't have enough energy.

449
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:42.160
I didn't get it.

450
00:37:42.160 --> 00:37:45.340
All lack-based statements that put you in low frequency.

451
00:37:45.340 --> 00:37:49.120
Instead of that, you wake up in a high frequency.

452
00:37:50.100 --> 00:37:53.300
And you just say, thank you, Lord, for my bed.

453
00:37:53.300 --> 00:37:55.380
Thank you for sleep.

454
00:37:55.380 --> 00:37:58.660
Thank you for my body, so wonderfully created.

455
00:37:58.660 --> 00:38:00.060
Thank you for a home.

456
00:38:00.060 --> 00:38:02.060
Thank you for provision.

457
00:38:02.060 --> 00:38:03.980
Thank you for food in my belly.

458
00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:06.380
Thank you, most of all, for your presence.

459
00:38:06.380 --> 00:38:07.700
Thank you for the air.

460
00:38:07.700 --> 00:38:09.900
Thank you for the sunshine.

461
00:38:09.900 --> 00:38:11.260
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

462
00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:12.780
You just find.

463
00:38:12.780 --> 00:38:16.100
And if you could write that every single day,

464
00:38:16.100 --> 00:38:18.420
it's in your Prosper Daily Planner.

465
00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:20.020
You can, I just, there's one line.

466
00:38:20.020 --> 00:38:22.980
I just write all the way across to thank you for my health.

467
00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:24.020
Thank you for my home.

468
00:38:24.020 --> 00:38:24.980
Thank you for friends.

469
00:38:24.980 --> 00:38:27.860
Thank you for my, I just write across that line every day.

470
00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:33.020
And then we start to, so we're changing our state.

471
00:38:33.020 --> 00:38:36.900
The scripture, the journaling, the prayer,

472
00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:41.500
the gratitude is starting to change our state.

473
00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:44.940
Okay, but that's not enough.

474
00:38:46.300 --> 00:38:50.460
We also want to begin to change

475
00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:54.460
and step into our true identity.

476
00:38:56.100 --> 00:39:00.260
Our identity is not what you do.

477
00:39:00.260 --> 00:39:02.500
I'm a coach, I'm a mother, I'm a wife.

478
00:39:02.500 --> 00:39:05.140
That's not an identity, that's a role.

479
00:39:06.020 --> 00:39:09.940
But who are you in Christ?

480
00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:14.540
And so this is where we do our I am statements.

481
00:39:14.540 --> 00:39:17.980
And so when I start a new journal,

482
00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:22.260
I always, I have a journal template if any of you want that.

483
00:39:22.260 --> 00:39:27.260
And I always start, I put the desires of my heart

484
00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:31.620
on the first page, writing your top three desires is huge

485
00:39:31.620 --> 00:39:33.420
and looking at that every day.

486
00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:36.500
And then I put my I am statements

487
00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:40.540
and I add to them all the time and I review them.

488
00:39:41.780 --> 00:39:43.780
And we're stepping into that identity.

489
00:39:43.780 --> 00:39:48.140
I am loved and I am love.

490
00:39:48.140 --> 00:39:52.940
What would your life be like if you believed I am love?

491
00:39:52.940 --> 00:39:55.020
And I have scriptures for everything, okay?

492
00:39:55.020 --> 00:39:56.420
So you could look up scriptures.

493
00:39:56.420 --> 00:40:00.180
Romans 5, 5 says he's poured his love into my heart, right?

494
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:13.560
So, I am a chosen vessel, I'm open, this is so important, I'm open, I'm receptive, right?

495
00:40:13.560 --> 00:40:19.680
This is so important, I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit, I am the daughter of the Most

496
00:40:19.680 --> 00:40:27.920
High God, I am abundant and I am abundance, I prosper in all things, I am healthy, I am

497
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:35.760
youthful, I am energetic, I am sound-minded, I am wise and I make wise decisions, right?

498
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:45.200
I am a miracle worker, I have the mind of Christ and you can go on and on and it's stepping into

499
00:40:45.200 --> 00:40:51.600
who God says you are, not who the world says who you are, not who your stinking thinking says who

500
00:40:51.600 --> 00:40:59.920
you are, it's your new identity and so from now we've raised our frequency and with the gratitude

501
00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:06.640
we've stepped into our true identity and now the morning spiritual practice, we go into the I

502
00:41:06.640 --> 00:41:16.960
wills, I will, these are our declarations, these are our aligned action and again, this is all

503
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:30.400
each day, it's already written out in the top part, okay? So, it's just that check-off list

504
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:36.080
in the top part, there's the place for the I wills, it's got the place for the I'm grateful for,

505
00:41:36.080 --> 00:41:42.240
if you've written your word for the year, it's got a place for your intention and I'll go later

506
00:41:42.240 --> 00:41:48.400
into using some of the others but I will is your aligned action. So, I want you to understand this

507
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:57.600
is not just a routine, this is not just a habit, yes, we want to make it a habit but this, this is

508
00:41:57.600 --> 00:42:07.920
how you return to source every day, this is how you connect. So, I want to do a little meditation to

509
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:14.960
just kind of bring this home and it's a, it's a two-part meditation and so if you could just put

510
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:19.840
your feet on the ground, put everything, like all distractions, we're going to finish on time,

511
00:42:20.640 --> 00:42:28.320
just breathe and let, let yourself experience this because the mind doesn't know any different

512
00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:36.960
actually than real experience and so doing these kind of meditations are very transformational.

513
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:43.840
The first part of this is based on a real experience I had when I was pregnant with my

514
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:51.280
middle daughter, Kristen, she was born premature and she was born six and a half weeks early

515
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:57.760
and when she was in ICU, I did not want to ever leave her, I insisted that I wanted to breastfeed,

516
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:02.800
they said I couldn't and I did and there was a nurse that worked it out that there was an

517
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:09.760
empty room right by the ICU, this room had no windows, it had no circulation,

518
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:16.640
I was in a room that didn't have any windows and I'm going to share my experience in this meditation

519
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:24.800
so that you can feel viscerally what's possible and then I'm going to combine it with a meditation

520
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:31.280
from a scripture we read today, okay? So, go ahead and close your eyes, put your feet on the ground,

521
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:37.200
relax your hands on your lap and we're going to start by breathing again,

522
00:43:37.200 --> 00:43:39.280
we're going to breathe into the count of four,

523
00:43:43.120 --> 00:43:43.680
hold it

524
00:43:46.560 --> 00:43:52.800
and then breathe out a long exhale, just let it go, relax your whole body,

525
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:58.720
oh my god, so fill our lungs with the breath, the Ruach of God

526
00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:05.840
and then let it all go,

527
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:14.320
this is why we sigh when we're stressed, it's a body way of healing, one more time,

528
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:24.160
so

529
00:44:26.720 --> 00:44:28.560
as you're sitting in your chair,

530
00:44:30.720 --> 00:44:36.800
I want you to imagine you're in a theater, you're in one of those big overstuffed,

531
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:42.000
comfortable theater chairs and you're so relaxed and you're so comfortable,

532
00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:45.840
you're so at peace,

533
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:48.960
everything's calm

534
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:55.440
and you're looking at the screen, the huge screen in front,

535
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.360
And you feel yourself almost walking into the screen.

536
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:11.720
And you find yourself in a room, and it's dark.

537
00:45:15.120 --> 00:45:18.320
There's no light.

538
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:19.240
There's no windows.

539
00:45:22.600 --> 00:45:26.200
There's a tiny bit of light coming in from under the door.

540
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:38.040
It just feels so cold, so alone, so dark.

541
00:45:38.040 --> 00:45:43.440
And so guided by the light under the door,

542
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.920
you kind of feel against the wall,

543
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:52.480
and you make your way to the door.

544
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:54.800
And you open the door.

545
00:45:54.800 --> 00:46:03.800
And there's the light of the building,

546
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:07.720
but it's still kind of a yellow light.

547
00:46:07.720 --> 00:46:12.080
And you feel called to keep walking to another door.

548
00:46:12.080 --> 00:46:15.160
It's the double sliding glass doors

549
00:46:15.160 --> 00:46:19.440
that when you get to them, they just burst open.

550
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:27.880
And you step outside, and you feel for the first time

551
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:35.880
in so long, you feel the cool air on your skin.

552
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:40.960
And it's contrasted by the warm sun on your skin.

553
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.880
And the brightness is almost overwhelming

554
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:49.400
after the darkness of being isolated and separated

555
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:54.360
in a dark room, trying to feel around with minimum light,

556
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:55.960
using your hands.

557
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:59.760
Suddenly, it's like you can see.

558
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:07.280
And the sky has never felt so beautiful, so blue, so clear.

559
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:09.880
And the white clouds.

560
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:13.240
And you look around, and the green in the trees

561
00:47:13.240 --> 00:47:14.600
is so green.

562
00:47:14.600 --> 00:47:16.240
And the grass is different.

563
00:47:16.240 --> 00:47:19.360
You notice the different shades of green.

564
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:21.640
And you catch the flowers.

565
00:47:21.640 --> 00:47:25.160
And there's purple ones, and there's pink ones.

566
00:47:25.160 --> 00:47:27.960
And you feel the breeze.

567
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:31.280
And you remember Ruach, the breath of God.

568
00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:32.600
And you take a deep breath.

569
00:47:36.200 --> 00:47:45.040
And as you breathe, you notice a tall vine right next to you.

570
00:47:45.040 --> 00:47:50.040
And you just feel the desire to lean on it.

571
00:47:50.040 --> 00:47:55.440
You put your whole weight on it.

572
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:59.120
And it's so strong.

573
00:47:59.120 --> 00:48:02.680
And you feel so solid.

574
00:48:02.680 --> 00:48:10.880
And as you lean into it, you suddenly

575
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:14.080
feel intimately connected with it.

576
00:48:14.120 --> 00:48:21.040
It's like you and the vine are one.

577
00:48:21.040 --> 00:48:25.080
It's like all of a sudden, you feel a surge of life,

578
00:48:25.080 --> 00:48:30.200
like a life force is coming from the vine into you.

579
00:48:30.200 --> 00:48:34.440
And it's making you even more alive than the sun,

580
00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:36.480
and the breeze, and the colors.

581
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.720
It's a different kind of life.

582
00:48:38.720 --> 00:48:41.600
It feels like every cell in your body

583
00:48:41.600 --> 00:48:45.320
is suddenly getting life and vibrating to a frequency.

584
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:51.600
It feels like you're just born anew.

585
00:48:51.600 --> 00:48:54.360
It's like the circulation is happening.

586
00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:56.400
And the energy is circulating.

587
00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:58.400
And the breath is circulating.

588
00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:01.840
And it's like a fresh flow of life

589
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:06.960
that's so delicious and so energizing.

590
00:49:07.040 --> 00:49:12.520
And all of a sudden, it's like your eyes are opened.

591
00:49:12.520 --> 00:49:17.560
And you see that that vine you're leaning on is Jesus.

592
00:49:20.120 --> 00:49:26.000
And he's looking at you with such love and such compassion.

593
00:49:30.040 --> 00:49:31.920
And all of a sudden, you realize this

594
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:34.720
is what you've been missing.

595
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:40.040
And you never again, you know what it is to be separated.

596
00:49:40.040 --> 00:49:42.080
You know what it is to strive.

597
00:49:42.080 --> 00:49:44.800
You know what it is to do in your own strength.

598
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.880
You know what it is to try to figure it out.

599
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:52.280
And all of a sudden, it's as if there aren't even any questions.

600
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.440
There's only life.

601
00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:56.920
There's only love.

602
00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:58.120
There's only peace.

603
00:49:58.120 --> 00:50:00.320
There's only joy.

604
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:08.160
There's only hope, there's only goodness, there's only energy, and you realize you

605
00:50:08.160 --> 00:50:19.720
were you were born to be in this communion, and you look into Jesus' eyes

606
00:50:20.680 --> 00:50:29.000
and you repent, you say, I'm sorry, I tried to do it my way, I'm back.

607
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:39.560
And he just hugs you tighter, and as he hugs you, his wraparound presence of his Holy Spirit

608
00:50:39.560 --> 00:50:48.760
just completely surrounds you. It's like you feel the Creator, and you feel the Holy Spirit as a

609
00:50:48.760 --> 00:50:58.200
wraparound warm blanket of life and love, and you feel that somehow there's this oneness,

610
00:50:58.200 --> 00:51:03.000
and you remember what Jesus prayed, this is what he was praying for.

611
00:51:06.680 --> 00:51:13.320
I'm in you, you're in me, we are one.

612
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:21.880
Wow, that's what the book of John was talking about you think about.

613
00:51:24.520 --> 00:51:31.880
And you can feel it, you can feel yourself hidden in him, completely protected, sheltered,

614
00:51:32.600 --> 00:51:38.600
and you feel him in you. You understand what it means to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

615
00:51:38.600 --> 00:51:43.800
There's life in you, there's the mind of Christ in you, there's resurrection life,

616
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:48.840
it's the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, and you realize it's in you.

617
00:51:52.200 --> 00:51:53.720
And there's no separation.

618
00:51:53.960 --> 00:52:06.280
This is your source, this is your life, you are whole, you are complete, you lack nothing.

619
00:52:09.240 --> 00:52:11.080
And you just relish in that goodness.

620
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:20.280
And you make a decision, you make a choice.

621
00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:28.920
You never, ever, ever again want to be that separated branch that's fruitless,

622
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:32.760
that you never want to strive, you never want to be driven by the slave woman.

623
00:52:33.640 --> 00:52:41.320
From this day forward, you will live your life with an awareness, with a consciousness of oneness,

624
00:52:41.320 --> 00:52:48.440
and you know that any moment that you start to drift out of habit, that the only thing you have

625
00:52:48.440 --> 00:52:55.000
to do is to whisper a prayer and say, Lord, I want to be one with you again.

626
00:52:56.360 --> 00:53:03.800
My only hope is to be one with you, Creator. My only desire is to be one with you, and out of

627
00:53:03.800 --> 00:53:09.800
that one, I know, will spring rivers of living water. Out of that oneness will come abundance,

628
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:17.080
inner and outer prosperity. This is the resurrected life.

629
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:25.640
And you say, I choose this, today and forevermore.

630
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:32.920
Jesus heard your prayer, the Holy Spirit heard your prayer, the Father heard your prayer,

631
00:53:34.120 --> 00:53:38.680
and said, it is finished, child. We are one.

632
00:53:39.080 --> 00:53:52.280
Walk this way. Live this way. Draw from me. I am your source. I am your life. I am your peace.

633
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:59.000
I am your healing. I am your abundance. I am your joy. I am your wisdom.

634
00:53:59.240 --> 00:54:09.960
I am your joy. I am your wisdom. Drink, child, drink. Drink to the fullness. It's sweeter than honey.

635
00:54:13.560 --> 00:54:15.800
And the gratitude just wells up in you.

636
00:54:17.560 --> 00:54:25.400
You know you are changed forever from this moment. You will never forget this moment,

637
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:32.280
and you will return to it every time you need. This is life.

638
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:44.440
And so, as you start to come back to yourself, you wiggle your toes, you wiggle your hands.

639
00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:59.320
I want you just to take one minute to just reflect. Write something down to remember this moment.

640
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:11.440
Write something down to remember this moment.

641
00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:16.440
This is the day.

642
00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:24.840
First day of Resurrection Week, this is the day your new life begins.

643
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:29.040
Welcome.

644
00:55:29.040 --> 00:55:31.200
I'm going to turn the recording off.
