WEBVTT

1
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:48.000
and this is where we lay the foundation right the scriptural foundation for what we're going to be doing this week and in our ongoing series and so of course here we start with promises and then we talk about some biblical principles

2
00:00:48.000 --> 00:01:08.000
we pray, I leave you with a practice for that we can again we lay the scriptural foundation which carries us right into Thursday mornings and we are in the build like Jesus series, which also is part of the prosper leader membership

3
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:27.000
and of course this is just such a fun series that we're doing right now we've done different series but God really put on my heart what can happen in 12 weeks or with the bonus modules I think it's about 14 weeks

4
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:47.000
if we truly truly built our business like Jesus the way he built not a business obviously but the principles from building the ministry and building the kingdom of God so we go into that Thursday mornings at eight

5
00:01:47.000 --> 00:02:06.000
then we normally have office hours at nine where we start putting it into practice and applying it we will not have office hours this week it is a fifth week we will have build like Jesus but I've got a conference so won't have office hours this week

6
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:29.000
however we have some exciting news for office hours for the rest of the month and for this coming Saturday morning nine to ten thirty those of you that have been curious about subsack those of you who are tired of the social media hamster wheel

7
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:40.000
where you're posting something and that it's gone is lost in the feed and you start all over the next day and you're looking for a way to build

8
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:59.000
it's a whole fresh approach I've been so refreshed by what I've been learning and seeing over the last six eight weeks and excited to share it with you so that's a free masterclass Saturday morning nine to ten thirty

9
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:25.000
and you do need to register but it is free and then picking up from that we've got a lot of cool things I'm going to use office hours for the rest of the month of course I'm available if you have something in office hours you want to talk about we'll do it but we're going to make it a growth lab

10
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:44.000
for your subsack so and you can apply it to any other social media if you're not interested you'll get valuable things every office hours but for those of you that like what you see we're going to have a growth lab during office hour time

11
00:03:44.000 --> 00:04:10.000
so exciting things ahead I'm going to be doing another masterclass on the 10th and then for those of you that are founding members the prosper founders deep dive which has been really really juicy will be on the 17th so we're going to have an incredible October and so excited

12
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:35.000
that we're in this together as we grow together in the Lord in our business and all God has called us to so let's get started and today's power hour and father I just didn't bite your presence your sweet Holy Spirit to just flood this room let the words of my mouth and meditation in my heart be pleasing in your sight

13
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:51.000
open our spiritual senses open our spiritual eyes your spiritual ears our heart that we can see we can hear we can perceive what you're doing in the world and in our lives in this season

14
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:59.000
we just invite you here in Jesus name amen amen amen

15
00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:22.360
power hour called "Before Proven." Called "Before Proven." In other words, living from

16
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:32.740
who God says you are before the evidence appears. So let me ask you a question. How

17
00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:42.440
much evidence do you require before you believe what God says about you? How much

18
00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:47.720
evidence? How much you need to see in your conditions and circumstances before

19
00:05:47.720 --> 00:06:04.520
you believe what God says about you. So do we think that our identity comes after

20
00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:11.960
the proof? So in other words, when our business succeeds, then I'll feel

21
00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:20.100
successful. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Are you relating? Or when people

22
00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:30.240
respond, then I'll believe my message matters. Or when I'm confident, then I'll

23
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:41.200
show up boldly. When I get a client, then I'll believe I'm good at this. When I

24
00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:50.820
finally get it right, I'll finally believe I'm enough. Am I talking to anybody?

25
00:06:50.820 --> 00:06:58.000
Oh, it's been a journey. Thank you. Let's see in the comments. Yes, I'm an evidence

26
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.840
collector. Okay, thank you for your transparency. I think we all are. Can I

27
00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:07.120
agree that so many of us, I love the way you put it, I'm an evidence collector. Any

28
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:13.760
evidence collectors in the house? Or feedback I rely too much on feedback from

29
00:07:13.760 --> 00:07:21.760
humans? Yeah. Yeah, I've been, of course, you guys have heard me for so long. I've

30
00:07:21.760 --> 00:07:29.480
repeated this so many times that in order to rise in any kind of leadership to be

31
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:38.200
a thought leader, to make a difference. We have to unhitch from the opinions of

32
00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:43.200
people. That means we have to unhitch from the praise that we're not moved by

33
00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:48.200
the praise and we're not moved by the criticism. We can give thanks for the

34
00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:54.320
praise and thank God for the praise. And we can look for any truth in the

35
00:07:54.320 --> 00:08:00.960
criticism but we can't be moved. The Bible says the fear of man is a snare. That

36
00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:05.400
word snare is like the net that they used to catch birds in. So just picture

37
00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:13.160
that for a second. It's such a fitting, fitting picture. So this idea that identity

38
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:21.120
comes after proof is completely backwards, scripturally. Throughout

39
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:31.400
Scripture, God has an amazing habit of speaking identity before the evidence

40
00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:38.600
appears. We're gonna go through that. We're gonna look at what happens when we

41
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:46.240
stop allowing our circumstances to tell us who we are and begin receiving our

42
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:54.960
identity from the one who created it. Who's ready? Put ready in the chat. You guys

43
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:02.080
so busy taking notes. You can't put some in the chat. I see you. Okay, there we

44
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.440
go. Yeah, there's some redis. Okay. All right, let's go promise number one. We

45
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:11.560
always anchor in some promises. You can think about all week. You can meditate on

46
00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:20.480
and make them part of your being. Let the word of God get in you. Get stored in

47
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:28.280
your heart. So the first one happens at Jesus baptism and it's Matthew 3 16 and

48
00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:39.480
17. Who has that? Matthew 3 16 and 17. Tell us what translation you're reading

49
00:09:39.480 --> 00:10:01.520
from. I'm happy to take it. It's just I am using my

50
00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:04.080
It's NIV,

51
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.780
and

52
00:10:07.780 --> 00:10:12.860
verse 16, "As soon as Jesus was baptized,

53
00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:14.560
"he went up out of the water.

54
00:10:14.560 --> 00:10:16.480
"At that moment, heaven was opened,

55
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.560
"and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove

56
00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:22.680
"and a lighting on him."

57
00:10:22.680 --> 00:10:24.860
And a voice from heaven said, "This is my son,

58
00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:28.680
"whom I love with him, I'm well pleased."

59
00:10:28.680 --> 00:10:31.860
Beautiful, what do you get from that?

60
00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:46.400
I mean, just a beautiful moment

61
00:10:46.400 --> 00:10:51.360
where we actually see the intimate correspondence

62
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.360
between God and Jesus.

63
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.360
I think putting, I mean, maybe I'm giving to you

64
00:10:58.520 --> 00:11:03.520
descriptive, but often it's hard to think about three in one

65
00:11:03.520 --> 00:11:09.000
where the separation of like hearing God as father say,

66
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:15.360
help pleasing and just in that moment,

67
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.120
having that distinction.

68
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.200
Love that, yeah, you see the father's voice,

69
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.080
you see the spirit landing on a dove

70
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.720
and you see Jesus being baptized,

71
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.720
so you're absolutely right.

72
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:32.220
And he says, the voice from heaven, the father says,

73
00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:37.220
"This is my beloved son, in whom I'm well pleased."

74
00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:45.820
I want you to notice the timing of this.

75
00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:50.680
Jesus hasn't performed a miracle yet.

76
00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:55.120
He hasn't fed 5,000, he hasn't healed the sick,

77
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.440
he hasn't preached a sermon on the Mount,

78
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.080
he hasn't gone to the cross.

79
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:06.920
Before public ministry comes public information

80
00:12:06.920 --> 00:12:14.040
from the father, you catch that?

81
00:12:14.040 --> 00:12:17.520
The father doesn't say this will be my beloved son

82
00:12:17.520 --> 00:12:22.520
after he proves himself, after he performs well,

83
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:28.240
he says, "This is my beloved son."

84
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:34.080
And so here's the promise to stand on.

85
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:39.760
I don't have to earn an identity.

86
00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:41.700
God has already given me.

87
00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:49.640
Any of you were conditioned,

88
00:12:49.640 --> 00:12:51.600
like if you did the right things,

89
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.760
you would get a smile from your parents or a spouse

90
00:12:54.760 --> 00:12:56.760
or you would get love or,

91
00:12:56.760 --> 00:13:00.680
but if you do it wrong and I get it on both ends,

92
00:13:00.680 --> 00:13:05.760
I got that message from my parents early on,

93
00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:09.160
so strong performance based,

94
00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:11.640
but I get it even from my kids now.

95
00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:14.800
If any of you, like if I'm not doing what my kids think

96
00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:18.800
I should be doing, like there's a withdrawal

97
00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:21.560
of approval or love, any of you know what I'm talking

98
00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:22.400
about?

99
00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:25.560
Yes, school teachers, let's says, absolutely.

100
00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:32.760
So we have to go back and we're gonna talk about this,

101
00:13:32.760 --> 00:13:35.820
the two most important words, I am.

102
00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:41.920
And the truth is, I am a daughter of the most high God

103
00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:46.800
and there's nothing I am, I am dearly loved.

104
00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:49.840
I am held, I am, and there's nothing I can do to make God

105
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.200
love me more, make him love me less.

106
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.680
God is love, his inherent nature is love.

107
00:13:56.680 --> 00:14:01.520
And so we get out of this performance based,

108
00:14:01.520 --> 00:14:06.360
and really, when you look at the word religion,

109
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.360
it's based on performance.

110
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:12.420
The word religion, re-legio means back to bondage.

111
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.560
So it's when we get into thinking that our identity

112
00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:22.300
is something we have to earn.

113
00:14:22.300 --> 00:14:27.400
And so that promise is I don't have to earn my identity.

114
00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:31.200
God gave me that identity even when I was in the womb.

115
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.660
Like Jeremiah, he knew me, he called me.

116
00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:37.000
There's a plan and purpose for my life.

117
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.960
I mean, is it deaf-free to think about as a promise?

118
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.560
And so when you start judging yourself

119
00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:46.960
that you're not enough, as many of you've shared.

120
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.640
And I think with these darker warnings,

121
00:14:49.640 --> 00:14:51.640
the rest of the clan isn't here today.

122
00:14:51.640 --> 00:14:53.520
I think it's harder to get up in the morning

123
00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:56.200
any of you experiencing it, we're missing half our peeps.

124
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.520
But if you guys call them, text them,

125
00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:00.480
tell them to wake up and get over here.

126
00:15:04.640 --> 00:15:07.920
God has already given me.

127
00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:10.920
Okay, promise number two.

128
00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:14.760
And this is such a beautiful one.

129
00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:18.520
Comes from Ephesians 2-10.

130
00:15:18.520 --> 00:15:21.680
Ephesians 2-10.

131
00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:24.680
Who wants to read that one?

132
00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:41.840
Ephesians 2-10.

133
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.580
I can read it.

134
00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:48.680
It's also NIB.

135
00:15:48.680 --> 00:15:54.360
Or we are God's handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in

136
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.680
advance for us to do.

137
00:15:56.680 --> 00:15:59.840
Okay, awesome.

138
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:04.120
Anybody else have a different translation?

139
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.840
This one's so beautiful and so many different translations.

140
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.320
You could read this one in 10.

141
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.920
I have the old King James version.

142
00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:12.920
Okay.

143
00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:19.040
For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before

144
00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:22.520
ordain that we should walk in them.

145
00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:25.520
Okay, beautiful.

146
00:16:25.520 --> 00:16:32.200
Anyone else have any other ones?

147
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:39.120
I think one of my favorite ones, and I didn't grab it, but I could grab it, where it says

148
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:50.000
for we are his workmanship, that word is poema, the word we get poetry from, poema.

149
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:56.080
It's also translated in many translations as masterpieces.

150
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.200
So we are his masterpiece.

151
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.560
You are his masterpiece.

152
00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:13.680
You are his poema created in Christ Jesus for works he prepared in advance, not that

153
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:18.880
we come up with or we think we need to do.

154
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:24.520
And so when you look at this workmanship, you look at this masterpiece, you look at this

155
00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:33.080
poema, you are not an accident that God is trying to figure out what to do with.

156
00:17:33.080 --> 00:17:38.360
Even if your parents thought you were an accident, like mine probably did, might be accidental

157
00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:44.040
parents but not accidental children.

158
00:17:44.040 --> 00:17:52.360
So there's intention with how he created you, your gifts, your personality, your experiences,

159
00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:57.680
your voice, your way of seeing things.

160
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:05.640
Even the things that God has redeemed through difficult seasons, your story.

161
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:12.600
This is going to become very important as I show you how to get off the hamster wheel

162
00:18:12.600 --> 00:18:19.520
of trying to get clients and trying to like just constantly be creating reels and constantly

163
00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:27.080
be creating posts and all of this and step back into the story and the message and the

164
00:18:27.080 --> 00:18:32.680
body of work that God wants you to create that doesn't get drowned out by algorithms

165
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.920
and doesn't disappear every day that you have to start out fresh.

166
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:46.920
So the promise to stand on for this promise number two is I am God's workmanship and put

167
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:58.000
it in different words, I am God's masterpiece, I am God's poema like let that settle in created

168
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:08.040
with purpose for that which he has prepared me to do.

169
00:19:08.040 --> 00:19:16.800
I have a divine purpose and I'm created for that divine purpose and I am the perfect masterpiece.

170
00:19:16.800 --> 00:19:23.120
This is why the people you're looking for are looking for you.

171
00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:29.800
You were specifically created, your story is specifically what they need to hear.

172
00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:34.720
You're overcoming scripture says we overcome by the word of our testimony and the blood

173
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:44.120
of the lamb, your specific overcoming is exactly what someone's been praying for.

174
00:19:44.120 --> 00:19:51.600
You were created for this moment and so think about what changes when you enter your day

175
00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:58.720
instead of thinking I'm not enough, I haven't done enough, I'm behind and all the other stories.

176
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.000
Silly, silly stories we tell.

177
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:17.040
Love it, Kaleh. This is so good to hear, she says.

178
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:27.840
Here's one more supporting promise, okay. Romans 8. Romans 8.

179
00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:41.120
And let's look at Romans 8, 15. And I'm just going to read, I kind of condensed it, you can go back

180
00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:50.320
and go deeper with it. What I want you to see in Romans 8, 15, is a distinction. There's a really

181
00:20:50.320 --> 00:20:59.600
clear distinction on one side, their slavery and fear. And on the other side, distinct from that

182
00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:07.600
is adoption, sonship. And he calls men and women's sons, okay. This means you could put in

183
00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:17.280
daughter if you're trying to put, but the word son means both. I could go deep on that.

184
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:25.360
He was already an atom when he created them, it says, before he even created, he said he created

185
00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:37.120
them, right. So there is this distinction between, over here is slavery. And if you've read my book,

186
00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:45.120
you know, I talked consistently about the slave woman and what I learned, the inner slave woman,

187
00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:53.680
right. So there's that distinction between that slavery, that perfectionism, that bondage of

188
00:21:53.680 --> 00:22:01.840
constant striving, that bondage of fear, that bondage of not being enough, that bondage of,

189
00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:11.280
you know, always feeling like you're behind. And what it means to walk in sonship and adoption.

190
00:22:12.080 --> 00:22:25.200
So Romans 815, just condensed, says, you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear.

191
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:35.520
You have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear.

192
00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:43.120
But you have received a spirit of adoption.

193
00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:52.000
There's so many verses that I could demonstrate this with. I think about Galatians

194
00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:01.520
where Paul says, who has bewitched you, you foolish Galatians, that which God began in you by grace,

195
00:23:01.520 --> 00:23:07.120
you're going to try to finish with works. Who has bewitched you?

196
00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:16.000
Like what's gotten into you that you think that which God has done

197
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:25.120
when he called you, when he pulled you out of darkness into light, when he filled you with his

198
00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:31.120
presence. And now you think, okay, okay, thanks for doing that. But now let me pick up and make

199
00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:42.480
sure I'm enough. So Romans 815 promises we don't build a slave trying to earn approval.

200
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.240
We build as daughters who already belong.

201
00:23:53.840 --> 00:24:08.880
So identity isn't something you achieve. Identity isn't something you achieve.

202
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:18.720
See, for so long I tied my identity to what I did.

203
00:24:20.320 --> 00:24:29.040
My identity, I wanted to be a perfect wife. I wanted to be a perfect mother. At 17 when I

204
00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:34.320
became a Christian, I wanted to be a perfect Christian. When I was a homeschool mom, I wanted

205
00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:39.920
to be a perfect homeschool teacher. You guys follow me? Any of you dealt with that?

206
00:24:42.560 --> 00:24:52.640
And in 2012, when I went through a very painful divorce, suddenly all the roles that defined me

207
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:59.920
that I had put my identity in were no longer there. And I had to go

208
00:25:01.520 --> 00:25:06.760
And many of you are in different seasons.

209
00:25:06.760 --> 00:25:11.720
You've held different roles, but your identity

210
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.000
is no longer being a mother.

211
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.600
I tied my identity into being a good mother.

212
00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:21.080
That's a role, it's not my identity.

213
00:25:21.080 --> 00:25:24.520
I tied my identity into being a corporate founder.

214
00:25:24.520 --> 00:25:28.240
That was a role, it's not identity.

215
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:29.760
You guys get this?

216
00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:31.880
Separating that out.

217
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.920
So identity isn't something you achieve,

218
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:39.000
it's something you receive and learn to live from.

219
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.680
So here's the principle.

220
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.020
We went from the promises to the principle.

221
00:25:45.020 --> 00:25:50.920
Today's principle is God speaks to who He created us to be

222
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:59.040
before our circumstances look anything like it.

223
00:25:59.120 --> 00:26:09.600
Let me say that again, God often speaks to who He created us to be

224
00:26:09.600 --> 00:26:15.680
before our circumstances look anything like that.

225
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:22.080
He speaks to who He created us to be.

226
00:26:22.080 --> 00:26:27.680
Before our circumstances look anything

227
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.560
like that.

228
00:26:29.560 --> 00:26:33.840
Let me show you some examples of scripture.

229
00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:35.360
Let's look at that pattern.

230
00:26:35.360 --> 00:26:38.440
Let's look at Gideon.

231
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.320
Y'all remember Gideon?

232
00:26:41.320 --> 00:26:47.140
If you don't remember Gideon, he was hiding.

233
00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:50.800
We see a lot of hiding in the Bible, by the way.

234
00:26:50.800 --> 00:26:54.720
I could do a whole study on hiding.

235
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:56.600
Any of you that have been hiding.

236
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:02.720
So Gideon's hiding and Israel is oppressed.

237
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:10.640
And Gideon describes himself as the weakest member

238
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.560
of the weakest clan.

239
00:27:14.560 --> 00:27:21.040
So we got the tribes, 12 tribes.

240
00:27:21.040 --> 00:27:24.640
Gideon says, I'm the weakest of the weak.

241
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.200
My tribe is the weakest and I'm the weakest among them.

242
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.400
Now, there was some positive thinking, right?

243
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:40.000
And yet the angel meets him where he's hiding in Judges 6, 12

244
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:46.680
and says, the Lord is with you, mighty warrior.

245
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:57.000
I'm in the habit, godly men in my life that I respect.

246
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:03.000
I often address them as mighty men or mighty men of God.

247
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.440
I speak that.

248
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.920
What would happen if we speak that into the men in our life

249
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:10.800
who are scared, who are hiding?

250
00:28:10.800 --> 00:28:16.160
And it's interesting how it turns around.

251
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.480
They often address me as mighty woman, mighty woman of God.

252
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.800
What if our lips began to speak God's truth

253
00:28:22.800 --> 00:28:24.560
to the people around us?

254
00:28:25.120 --> 00:28:29.080
If I was married or had a man in my life,

255
00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:30.480
that's what I would call him.

256
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:35.400
What would happen if you started calling your husband that?

257
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:36.800
Linda, how would Jeff look at you?

258
00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:38.800
Would he look at you, cross side?

259
00:28:38.800 --> 00:28:41.080
If you think, good morning, mighty man.

260
00:28:41.080 --> 00:28:46.960
- It's a little bit, it's a little bit.

261
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:49.240
I remember when I usually like, did you lose it?

262
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.240
Are you okay?

263
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:52.760
You know, Colleb, what would your husband do?

264
00:28:53.040 --> 00:28:55.280
(laughing)

265
00:28:55.280 --> 00:28:59.840
Darlene, knowing you, you probably already do that, don't you?

266
00:28:59.840 --> 00:29:02.080
What does that one feel like?

267
00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:04.720
- When you ask me, my husband would think I'm not.

268
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:06.000
- You think you're not?

269
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.760
Maybe something we need to try out.

270
00:29:09.760 --> 00:29:13.760
By the way, there's a lot of givians in our households.

271
00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:16.360
There's a lot of men, they may not show it,

272
00:29:16.360 --> 00:29:18.720
they may act strong, they put on a cover,

273
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:20.960
but inside they're scared.

274
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:22.400
They're scared of aging.

275
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.240
They're scared of their fatality.

276
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.200
They're scared of not being able to provide

277
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:28.680
or keep up financially.

278
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:30.720
They're scared of return, trust me.

279
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:35.880
I have a lot of male friends that trust me and share,

280
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:37.040
and they're scared inside.

281
00:29:37.040 --> 00:29:38.520
You don't know that.

282
00:29:38.520 --> 00:29:40.760
If you see them out in the business meetings

283
00:29:40.760 --> 00:29:44.240
or on the dance floor, you don't know that, they're scared.

284
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.920
And we as women can play a powerful role.

285
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:51.280
The scripture says the power of life and death is in the tongue,

286
00:29:51.280 --> 00:29:53.640
and we reap the fruits thereof.

287
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:55.920
What kind of fruit do you want in your marriage,

288
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:57.720
in your relationship?

289
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.480
Well, we reap the fruit if we don't like the fruit.

290
00:30:01.800 --> 00:30:02.840
"Are we complaining?

291
00:30:02.840 --> 00:30:04.440
"Are we nagging?

292
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:06.940
"Or are we speaking life?"

293
00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:09.780
And to those people around him.

294
00:30:09.780 --> 00:30:11.880
I mean, obviously this is true for our children.

295
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:13.920
It's not just relationships.

296
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:16.680
So here he is hiding.

297
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:20.380
He describes himself as the weakest of the weakest clan.

298
00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:23.660
And the angel appears and says,

299
00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:26.600
"The Lord is with you mighty warrior."

300
00:30:29.600 --> 00:30:34.060
Imagine Gideon, look around, like who are you talking to?

301
00:30:34.060 --> 00:30:36.240
(laughs)

302
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.600
Who's some mighty warrior here?

303
00:30:38.600 --> 00:30:40.360
Who are you talking to anyway?

304
00:30:40.360 --> 00:30:47.640
But God wasn't limited to Gideon's current circumstances.

305
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:50.560
I could show you this time and time and time and time

306
00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:52.280
again in scripture.

307
00:30:52.280 --> 00:30:55.900
He could see what Gideon could not yet see.

308
00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:59.400
I'm gonna talk a lot about this when we do

309
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:00.920
just for our clients.

310
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:05.360
Scripture talks about pulling the gold out of people,

311
00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:10.360
seeing in them what they couldn't yet see.

312
00:31:10.360 --> 00:31:14.040
And speaking that, I'm seeing many of you

313
00:31:14.040 --> 00:31:17.520
that I'm coaching, oh my goodness, you're coming alive.

314
00:31:17.520 --> 00:31:21.240
You came thinking you had this much to bring

315
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:24.840
and now you're showing up with this much to bring.

316
00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:28.000
God had it in you all along.

317
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:33.000
But sometimes as a coach, we call that out in other people.

318
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:35.440
Let's talk about David.

319
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:36.560
So we talked about Gideon.

320
00:31:36.560 --> 00:31:38.040
Let's talk about David.

321
00:31:38.040 --> 00:31:43.920
So Samuel comes to Jesse's house

322
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:46.600
to anoint the next king.

323
00:31:46.600 --> 00:31:52.640
So he's coming in, Jesse's got all these sons

324
00:31:53.560 --> 00:31:58.380
and he's gonna anoint the next king.

325
00:31:58.380 --> 00:32:04.160
And of course, Jesse brings the most impressive,

326
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.080
the tall, the buff, the good looking ones,

327
00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:10.000
brings them forward.

328
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.840
And David, who is the younger, young guest,

329
00:32:14.840 --> 00:32:19.480
who actually the Bible describes as being ready.

330
00:32:21.080 --> 00:32:26.080
So history says he may have been a redhead,

331
00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:31.800
freckled in a room full of men with a lot of melanin

332
00:32:31.800 --> 00:32:39.360
who are just buff and he is not even invited

333
00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:44.720
even though he's one of the sons

334
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.920
and Samuel said, "Bring all your sons."

335
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.080
David wasn't even invited.

336
00:32:49.080 --> 00:32:50.360
He was overlooked.

337
00:32:50.360 --> 00:32:53.200
He was out with the sheep.

338
00:32:53.200 --> 00:33:03.520
And Samuel goes through one after another

339
00:33:03.520 --> 00:33:06.480
until he saw all of those.

340
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.280
Says, "Do you have another son?"

341
00:33:09.280 --> 00:33:12.000
The Lord's not speaking about any of these.

342
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.120
You have another son?

343
00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:15.920
Oh yeah, I mean, there's David,

344
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:18.120
but I mean, David's out with the sheep.

345
00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:24.120
And in 1 Samuel, 16, 7, he says, "People look at the outward appearance,

346
00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:44.320
but the Lord looks at the heart."

347
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:52.400
People look at the outward appearance,

348
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:57.720
but the Lord looks at the heart.

349
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:07.800
So again, David is the one that gets anointed.

350
00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:09.520
We know the story,

351
00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:14.520
but he gets anointed king long before he sits on the throne.

352
00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:19.000
You need to catch this.

353
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.159
In fact, he's got a lot of living.

354
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.560
He's got a lot of trials between that moment

355
00:34:25.560 --> 00:34:29.920
and the time that he rules Israel and sits on the throne.

356
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.800
Got a lot of challenges, a lot of hiccups.

357
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:37.920
The king at that time going against him,

358
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:42.920
him raising a mighty army of ragtag warriors

359
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.159
who turn against him.

360
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.199
I mean, he studied David's life.

361
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:51.560
He's anointed king long before there's any evidence.

362
00:34:51.560 --> 00:34:53.239
He could think he heard wrong.

363
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:56.159
He could think Samuel made a mistake.

364
00:34:56.159 --> 00:35:00.160
His environment doesn't yet match his culture.

365
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:18.920
your ministry, your marriage, your health, your whatever speaking career, it may not match

366
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:21.360
all that God has put in your heart.

367
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:27.300
All that he's probably given you dreams about or a vision, or you have this inkling that

368
00:35:27.300 --> 00:35:31.400
there's more.

369
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:38.340
The environment doesn't match it yet.

370
00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:44.960
So we have to learn to see, not from a place, I've talked about this before, not praying

371
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:53.460
from a place of problem-centric prayers, not seeing from a problem-centric, "What's wrong,

372
00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:57.260
where am I behind, what's not working, what's missing?"

373
00:35:57.260 --> 00:36:04.940
We've learned to be very problem-centric, but instead to be purpose-centric, to be vision

374
00:36:04.940 --> 00:36:10.940
and possibility-centric, as God is.

375
00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:15.700
To see like God sees, let's do one more, and then we'll go into prayer.

376
00:36:15.700 --> 00:36:16.700
Peter.

377
00:36:16.700 --> 00:36:17.700
Peter.

378
00:36:17.700 --> 00:36:18.700
Peter.

379
00:36:18.700 --> 00:36:34.380
Jesus meets Simon, and he asked him a question, "Who do people say that I am?"

380
00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:40.100
He goes through a long list, something, you're this, something, you're that, something, you're

381
00:36:40.100 --> 00:36:47.140
Elijah returns, some think, and then he looks at Peter, and he says, "Peter, who do you

382
00:36:47.140 --> 00:36:48.140
say that I am?"

383
00:36:48.140 --> 00:36:54.340
He says, "You're the Christ, the Son of the Living God."

384
00:36:54.340 --> 00:37:06.100
And he says, "Blessed are you, for flesh and blood is not revealed as to you, but my

385
00:37:06.100 --> 00:37:24.940
Father." And in John 142, Jesus says, "You are Simon, Son of John."

386
00:37:24.940 --> 00:37:35.460
You will be called Cephas, which translated is Peter.

387
00:37:35.460 --> 00:37:47.660
So Jesus sees Simon, he also sees Peter, the rock, upon whom he says, "I will build my

388
00:37:47.660 --> 00:37:51.660
church upon this rock."

389
00:37:51.660 --> 00:38:02.260
So he can see what Simon is today, and what grace will form in him.

390
00:38:02.260 --> 00:38:09.940
God is perfectly aware of what he sees today, but God is the author and finisher of our

391
00:38:09.940 --> 00:38:11.420
faith.

392
00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:16.180
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

393
00:38:16.180 --> 00:38:23.020
He already sees the Poema, the masterpiece.

394
00:38:23.020 --> 00:38:26.060
He already sees the marriage.

395
00:38:26.060 --> 00:38:35.020
Do you know how many friends I have counseled that their marriage was on the rocks, not

396
00:38:35.020 --> 00:38:41.460
making it no life, and they make it through that hard point, and they're on the other

397
00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:44.300
side now?

398
00:38:44.300 --> 00:38:49.700
And I've said those words to them, "You don't know yet what this can become."

399
00:38:49.700 --> 00:38:51.300
And they're living that now.

400
00:38:51.300 --> 00:39:00.020
Now, not all made it, and maybe not all were meant to make it, but I've seen this enough

401
00:39:00.020 --> 00:39:06.700
that God sees, and we're going to explore this more tomorrow and build like Jesus, because

402
00:39:06.700 --> 00:39:12.420
it tells us something profound about how Jesus saw other people.

403
00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:17.380
So we're going to get into that as we build our business, and we live this out tomorrow

404
00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:24.400
and build like Jesus, but today I want to just stay with us and the promises as it relates.

405
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:31.180
And I want you to understand that there is this identity, but also here's something not

406
00:39:31.180 --> 00:39:33.940
to overlook.

407
00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:41.900
Immediately after Matthew 3 that we read about Jesus' baptism comes Matthew 4.

408
00:39:41.900 --> 00:39:48.200
Immediately after Matthew 3 comes Matthew 4, "The Father has just said, 'This is my beloved

409
00:39:48.200 --> 00:39:50.300
son.'

410
00:39:50.300 --> 00:40:00.020
And then in Matthew 4, the temperature comes and says, 'If you are the son of God.'"

411
00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:04.860
cast yourself here.

412
00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:08.020
If your son of God turned the stone into,

413
00:40:08.020 --> 00:40:11.940
in other words, prove yourself if your son of God,

414
00:40:11.940 --> 00:40:13.980
prove yourself right now.

415
00:40:13.980 --> 00:40:20.980
Goes back into works and questioning.

416
00:40:20.980 --> 00:40:25.280
So our identity gets tested.

417
00:40:27.420 --> 00:40:32.420
So the attack goes directly after what God has just declared.

418
00:40:32.420 --> 00:40:39.940
And this is where it becomes intensely practical

419
00:40:39.940 --> 00:40:41.820
for our lives.

420
00:40:41.820 --> 00:40:46.420
When the client says no, when the launch doesn't work,

421
00:40:46.420 --> 00:40:49.420
when nobody responds to the post,

422
00:40:49.420 --> 00:40:52.780
when your bank account doesn't look like what you prayed for,

423
00:40:52.780 --> 00:40:57.260
when you make a mistake, when somebody misunderstands you,

424
00:40:57.260 --> 00:41:00.060
what happens next?

425
00:41:00.060 --> 00:41:05.460
Do you evaluate the result?

426
00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:10.320
Or do you turn the result into an identity?

427
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:16.020
There is an enormous difference.

428
00:41:16.020 --> 00:41:17.820
Get this, if you get nothing else,

429
00:41:17.820 --> 00:41:22.820
there is an enormous difference between that strategy,

430
00:41:23.260 --> 00:41:28.260
didn't work and I'm just terrible at business.

431
00:41:28.260 --> 00:41:32.620
I'm just stupid, I'm just not cut out for this.

432
00:41:32.620 --> 00:41:41.580
Loving your comments, outstanding word, I love this.

433
00:41:41.580 --> 00:41:42.980
Thank you, Darlene.

434
00:41:42.980 --> 00:41:46.500
Lindsay, fire, so good, wow.

435
00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:50.900
Thank you for your, so let me tell you,

436
00:41:52.060 --> 00:41:57.060
successful people, the failure is not even.

437
00:41:57.060 --> 00:42:00.820
So they do a big launch, you know,

438
00:42:00.820 --> 00:42:04.820
I mean, Elon doesn't rock it and it crashes or a car

439
00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:08.460
and the whole test falls apart and he's sleeping on the floor

440
00:42:08.460 --> 00:42:10.380
trying to turn that company around.

441
00:42:10.380 --> 00:42:13.540
Like I could go example after example,

442
00:42:13.540 --> 00:42:17.180
they don't see that as their identity.

443
00:42:17.180 --> 00:42:21.820
They separate what's happening right now in the business

444
00:42:21.820 --> 00:42:25.580
and who I am, we don't blend those lines.

445
00:42:25.580 --> 00:42:30.580
I am not what's happening but we blend that

446
00:42:30.580 --> 00:42:36.020
and we make it about us.

447
00:42:36.020 --> 00:42:41.020
I guess I'm just not blank enough, cut out for,

448
00:42:41.020 --> 00:42:46.180
know enough, have enough.

449
00:42:46.180 --> 00:42:48.540
All this stuff, there's a big difference

450
00:42:48.540 --> 00:42:51.060
between that strategy didn't work.

451
00:42:51.060 --> 00:42:56.500
Linda has been by my side for a long time.

452
00:42:56.500 --> 00:43:00.380
I adore her best gift I can ask for

453
00:43:00.380 --> 00:43:03.260
and how many times, Linda,

454
00:43:03.260 --> 00:43:06.780
did we think something was gonna go one way

455
00:43:06.780 --> 00:43:11.380
and well, that didn't quite work out like that

456
00:43:11.380 --> 00:43:17.260
and I could have just laid down and given it up.

457
00:43:17.260 --> 00:43:21.860
Like in my early years when I was in network marketing

458
00:43:21.860 --> 00:43:26.860
in my 20s and my team left and went to another company

459
00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:29.020
and I laid on the couch and cried and said,

460
00:43:29.020 --> 00:43:30.900
I guess I'm just not cut out for this.

461
00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:35.900
Yeah, I started that way but I've learned to separate.

462
00:43:35.900 --> 00:43:40.220
We must as we walk in spiritual maturity,

463
00:43:40.220 --> 00:43:43.420
separate who we are and what we do

464
00:43:43.420 --> 00:43:48.420
and what's working or not working, business is iterations.

465
00:43:48.420 --> 00:43:52.540
Look, I have some eight figure coaches that I've coached with.

466
00:43:52.540 --> 00:43:54.820
I've coached six and seven figure coaches.

467
00:43:54.820 --> 00:43:57.140
I've been coached by eight figure coaches

468
00:43:57.140 --> 00:44:00.900
and I've watched, as I watched growing up with my father,

469
00:44:00.900 --> 00:44:02.900
business is a bunch of iterations.

470
00:44:02.900 --> 00:44:05.380
You try this, it doesn't work, you adjust.

471
00:44:05.380 --> 00:44:07.740
So I go into the moon, it's not straight.

472
00:44:07.740 --> 00:44:12.420
You adjust, you adjust, it's a lot of iterations.

473
00:44:13.420 --> 00:44:16.180
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

474
00:44:16.180 --> 00:44:20.740
Sometimes you pay money, you didn't get what you hoped

475
00:44:20.740 --> 00:44:23.020
you were gonna get, then they're done that.

476
00:44:23.020 --> 00:44:24.820
We've gotta separate this out.

477
00:44:24.820 --> 00:44:27.220
You guys get that message there?

478
00:44:27.220 --> 00:44:32.220
So between the client said no and coming to the conclusion,

479
00:44:32.220 --> 00:44:36.980
nobody wants what I offer or between,

480
00:44:36.980 --> 00:44:41.300
I don't know how to do this yet and I'm not capable.

481
00:44:42.300 --> 00:44:46.220
Results are information.

482
00:44:46.220 --> 00:44:51.220
Results are information, they are not identity.

483
00:44:51.220 --> 00:44:56.220
Results are information, they tell you what to tweak,

484
00:44:56.220 --> 00:45:00.140
they have nothing, absolutely nothing to do with your identity.

485
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:22.000
The slave victim says I'm powerless, I can't, nothing works for me.

486
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:40.000
The overachiever self righteous says I'll prove myself, I'll work harder, I'll push harder, I'll make this happen, I'll strive, different behavior, same problem.

487
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:51.000
Yes, Clad, I wish every person could hear this too, invite them, invite them to come as a guest, absolutely. Sisters need to hear this, invite them to my sub stack, yes.

488
00:45:51.000 --> 00:46:02.000
So different behavior, same problem, both are trying to establish something the father wants us to receive and step into, not make happen.

489
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:09.000
Identity is not something you push you strive, you make happen.

490
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:19.000
So right in the middle of those extreme slave victim self righteous overachiever, right in the middle is partnership, partnering with God.

491
00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:41.000
The P, Chapter 1, partner with God, a P. And so I know who I am, I know who's I am, I listen, I act, I learn, I adjust, I don't need outcome to tell me my worth.

492
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:53.000
Someone says no to me, my relationship, my identity is not shaken, someone criticizes me, it stings, nobody likes it.

493
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:59.000
But my identity is not shaken, I know who I am, I know who's I am.

494
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:18.000
And that's learning to profit with peace. So let's go into prayer. And tomorrow in Bill like Jesus, we're going to do some very immersive exercises to really begin to make this real and deepen it.

495
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:30.000
Okay. All right. So, darling, just, you're new, the way we work in here, everybody prays as their lead, and then I usually close us out. Okay.

496
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:44.000
So feel free can be, there's no performance here can be a sentence that God has on your heart can be a full on prayer, we can pray the prayer requests, and we can pray about this identity for ourselves and for our sisters.

497
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:58.000
Praying, whatever God puts on your heart. This is where we come together the power of two or more in agreement, where God is, and then I'll close us out. Okay.

498
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:09.000
Okay. Our precious father. Just thank you for this word today. You knew exactly what I needed to hear and my identity is in you and out of the world.

499
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:15.000
I just thank you for working through Brenda delivering this message that all all of our ears needed to hear and to receive.

500
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:40.000
And I just thank you for this perfect timing right now in my life, and I thank you for this. I'm prosper by design in which you have blessed her to deliver unto us. And I just asked for all the per request and all the women that are here, that I've met and have not met and just, you know, their hearts, you know, their desires, father, God, let there will be done in your life. Amen.

501
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:46.000
Okay.

502
00:48:46.000 --> 00:49:04.000
Lord, we just praise you for this time that we can be rooted and reminded on the fact alone that we are your masterpiece that we are created with great purpose. Great.

503
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:17.000
Significance, regardless of our striving Lord, we just, I thank you for the wisdom and the delivery that you were able to share through Brenda.

504
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:41.000
I pray that each of us as we go into our days into our weeks that we would be raising our chest higher Lord, where the enemy tries to kill and steal our joy, our purpose Lord that you would absolutely give us your perfect peace.

505
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:58.000
These words in this truth that we are, we are yours and created with great purpose. I pray for each and every sister here and those that are not here Lord and just pray for covering of their health their family's health.

506
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.000
And pray that you would just

507
00:50:27.040 --> 00:50:32.880
Father God, I ask for healing for every woman here and every woman that listens to this after

508
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:39.920
this morning. I ask for you to fill in the cracks of the foundation that you have created in us,

509
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:45.200
the ones that might be keeping us from moving in the directions that you were opening up for us.

510
00:50:45.200 --> 00:50:54.960
Father God, I ask that you lead us, boldly lead us. I call it the neon sign. Give us the neon sign,

511
00:50:54.960 --> 00:51:01.120
make it clear to us the direction that we should go and fortify us so that we walk

512
00:51:01.120 --> 00:51:08.320
one step at a time towards those things. Father, I also ask for the prayer request to be fulfilled

513
00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:17.840
for healing, for collets, daughter-in-law, and for healing, for Matt and Kaylee and also my husband

514
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:24.240
is not feeling well. I ask that you put a head to protection around us because Lord, we know that

515
00:51:24.240 --> 00:51:29.760
when we step out boldly and faithfully for you, the enemy determines to stop us in any way that

516
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:35.760
they can. And so if we can be stopped, we will be so Lord and sure that we cannot be stopped.

517
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:41.760
Help us to be bold for you in your name. We pray. Yes. Thank you.

518
00:51:42.560 --> 00:51:45.600
Thank you.

519
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:18.320
Father God, I thank you for your word that is life and spirit. And I ask that you seal this word,

520
00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:32.000
that it takes root in our hearts, that we can know and we can live out the truth

521
00:52:34.720 --> 00:52:49.280
of who you say we are, your masterpiece, your poem. And Lord, for what you're building in and

522
00:52:49.280 --> 00:53:02.400
through us to touch lives, for all the women who like us here today and like myself have often blurred

523
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:11.840
the line between being and doing, between who you've said we are and who we try to perform to be.

524
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:24.000
Pray that line will become distinct again. Our conditions, our circumstances, our business,

525
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:31.600
our relationships do not define us. They are roles in our life and may we walk out those roles with

526
00:53:31.600 --> 00:53:40.000
love, with grace, with mercy, with anointing, with wisdom, but may they never shake the foundation

527
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:44.320
of who you've created us to be and what you've called us to do.

528
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:57.200
Let this word go deep. We are your masterpiece. We are your poem. You loved us.

529
00:53:59.120 --> 00:54:04.960
Before we even knew to love you, you called us when we were still sinners, before we could

530
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:14.320
perform or even know to perform, you called us first. And for that grace, for that mercy we give

531
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:24.080
thanks. And may we extend that grace and that mercy. May our words contain life.

532
00:54:25.600 --> 00:54:34.880
May we speak life to those you bring into our midst. May we speak life and hope and vision.

533
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:44.800
And Lord, I pray that you prosper. The prosper sisters, for all those that are not here today,

534
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:51.760
Lord, whatever they're going through right now, touch them in the recording, let them know they're

535
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:59.920
missed. We love them. Bless them. Bless the work of our hands.

536
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:22.720
We love you, Lord. We thank you in Jesus name.

537
00:55:27.120 --> 00:55:34.240
All right, ladies. Blessings. Blessings. We'll see you tomorrow morning, 8 a.m., and again,

538
00:55:34.240 --> 00:55:42.240
remember the sub-stack free training 9 to 10 30 on Saturday. If you have not registered,

539
00:55:42.240 --> 00:55:53.040
I think the link is bit.ly. Let me put it in here, sub. I think it's sub-stack training.

540
00:55:54.080 --> 00:56:00.160
I will put it in just in case I don't have it in front of me. I think it's bit.ly, sub-stack

541
00:56:00.160 --> 00:56:06.480
training, the S is capitalized, and the T in training is capitalized. Try that and see if it works.

542
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:13.920
If not, I'll put the link in the email with the replay, and we'll see you Saturday. Blessings

543
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:18.800
to each one of you, and we'll see you tomorrow as well. Bye-bye.

544
00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:20.800
You
