00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:33.120 in a community like we're building a community now and one thing that i know is that um for 90 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:39.760 for us to get to where i want to go in the sense of family that i want to create uh one of the most 91 00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:45.840 uh important significant uh things that we need to be able to create 92 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:51.680 is we need to be able to create a sense of safety um so 93 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:59.920 i have this beautiful picture right in my head of a snail okay so just think about 94 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.360 Think about a snail right now when a snail is feeling safe right and it's 95 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.560 just having a great day it's got it's it's got its headphones in it's got it 96 00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:15.840 it's got its beats going bum bum bum bum bum snail is cruising along right it's 97 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.600 a sunny day all is going well that's snail is just it's having the best day 98 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:25.200 of its life it's like bum bum bum bum it's charging along and you know when 99 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:30.480 that snail is in its in its safe place in its sweet space you know it is fully 100 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:35.400 extended its antennae are right out every part of it is stretched out it's 101 00:10:35.400 --> 00:10:42.080 fully exposed it's like every part of it's just fully revealed but the moment 102 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:48.760 that that snail feels unsafe the moment that there's even a glimpse that its 103 00:10:48.760 --> 00:10:56.560 safety is in danger that snail just goes you know it just sucks itself it 104 00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:01.800 sucks itself back into its shell no Sandy's asking if I've been watching the 105 00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:08.040 movie turbo I don't think so but that snail it just retreats completely 106 00:11:08.040 --> 00:11:15.240 retreats within itself the moment that it's not feeling safe and the truth is 107 00:11:15.280 --> 00:11:20.320 we do that all the time you know when we when we go places we're looking to get a 108 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:27.040 gauge on is this a safe place to be to be real is this a safe place to be or 109 00:11:27.040 --> 00:11:34.080 authentic is this a safe place for me to be me and the reality is that a lot of 110 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:41.200 the time when we we go go to places or we experience relationships we we find a 111 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.160 lot of unsafe behavior all around us and so we find that we actually have to put 112 00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:50.840 these guards up and so every time we you know every time we feel like we 113 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.720 can't trust people or every time we feel like it's not safe or every time we feel 114 00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:01.480 like we're in a dangerous environment we actually put guards up and and those 115 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:06.400 guards are always about protecting ourselves and when we feel like others 116 00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:12.840 aren't going to protect us then we we take that role on ourselves and we 117 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.360 protect ourselves and unfortunately the the default setting that we usually use 118 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:23.600 is to protect that protect ourselves by creating creating a maybe a wall of some 119 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:28.440 sort or covering ourselves in some way but we what we end up losing that 120 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:34.120 process is we end up losing vulnerability but the opposite is true 121 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:38.720 as well the moment if we if we come into a place and you start experiencing a 122 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:44.920 sense of safety if you start experiencing unconditional acceptance 123 00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:53.480 if you start experiencing this the sense of total safety and if you start 124 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:58.240 sensing unconditional love and unconditional acceptance and 125 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.360 unconditional delight then oh my gosh all the walls start coming down all the 126 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.920 facades start coming down then all of a sudden you're free to be you in that 127 00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:12.040 sense that it's like wow I feel so safe to totally be me and that's what I want 128 00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:15.960 to create right here is that place where we as ourselves we can be like those 129 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:22.320 snails that come right out of our shells we're totally feeling totally safe it's 130 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.600 like man this is such a safe place this is such a safe community there's so much 131 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.520 unconditional love there's so much unconditional acceptance there's so much 132 00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:34.720 unconditional delight there's so much grace towards each other there's so much 133 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.880 forgiveness towards each other there's so much compassion towards each other 134 00:13:38.880 --> 00:13:43.160 and there's so much honor towards each other if we can create an environment 135 00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:49.640 like that that's the that's the environment where people begin to thrive 136 00:13:49.640 --> 00:13:54.400 and excel like never before and I think that's what heaven looks like I think 137 00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:59.000 that that's what it looks like to create divine family I think that's what it 138 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:06.840 looks like to reproduce authentic expressions of heaven on earth yeah 139 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:11.240 totally it's yeah so great comments coming in guys I love those comments so 140 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.240 here's what I want to ask us as we start this journey together here's

00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:51.440 and when you let us know what makes you feel safe we can be really intentional 147 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:57.520 about protecting those values and when we protect those values you're not going 148 00:14:57.520 --> 00:15:01.960 to have to put up that barrier you're going to feel 149 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.800 safe to be 150 00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:06.920 You so

This is actually what my my life is just all about this constantly everywhere. I go working on creating 174 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:09.079 Authentic expressions of heaven and to create these places of authentic expressions of heaven 175 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.000 I always take it back to the Trinity 176 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:18.560 I was like just about everything I take back to the Trinity because they're the model for everything that a model for our 177 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:26.640 Identity they're the model for what heaven actually looks like and when we look at the Trinity what we see is an 178 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.160 unbroken cycle of 179 00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:37.560 Divine love each member of the Trinity receiving divine love perfectly and each member of the Trinity giving a perfect expression to divine 180 00:17:37.560 --> 00:17:44.320 Love it's an unbroken cycle of divine love and that is not like a low intensity love 181 00:17:44.320 --> 00:17:48.920 It's not a casual love that love is off the charts. That is an intense 182 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:51.480 radical of 183 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.560 fire-filled 184 00:17:52.560 --> 00:17:58.920 Dynamic extreme measure of love it's like in the face of the Lord is the fullness of joy in the face of the Lord is 185 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:04.880 The fullness of delight and in that fellowship of the Trinity there's extreme absolute maximum joy 186 00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:12.120 Maximum delight expressed towards one another and it's just it's popping. It's synergistic. It's explosive. It's dynamic 187 00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:16.920 It's the divine dance. It's all over the place. It's just wild. It's extravagant 188 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:21.160 It's death. It's definitely never reserved. You know the love of the Trinity 189 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:27.000 It's like someone who've got a massive stereo and they crank that bad boy up and then they room 190 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.480 Then it just got stuck on maximum volume 191 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.800 That's what the love of the Trinity is like just always always always stuck on 192 00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:40.520 Maximum volume maximum volume of love for you maximum volume of love for me and like whoa 193 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:47.320 Imagine that we imagine if our delight in one another got stuck on maximum volume 194 00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:52.840 How good would that be? How good would that be if we're in a community where? 195 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:58.320 We weren't we weren't orphaning out. We weren't living out of love deficits. We weren't so 196 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.720 Consumed with our own internal inadequacies and insecurities and emotional 197 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.240 Deficiencies and 198 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.200 Overwhelming negative feelings imagine if we weren't overwhelmed by all that 199 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.520 But we actually stepped into our sonship stepped into a place where we could 200 00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:20.040 Receive divine love perfectly because we received divine love perfectly. We lived in a love baptism 201 00:19:20.040 --> 00:19:27.160 We lived in a love overflow and it changed a lot of defect fault settings from a love deficit to a love baptism a perpetual 202 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:33.240 love overflow of delight stuck on on full volume and we're constantly 203 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:39.480 Perpetually like wow love on full volume love on full volume love on full volume. So I 204 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.000 Try to kind of analyze this 205 00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:49.240 Someone saying Michelle saying the cha-cha dancing inside out. So I try to imagine this try to ask myself 206 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.240 well, what would that look like and what I 207 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:57.080 what I always come back to when I'm working with our tribe is is 208 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:00.480 Heaven on earth looks like love 209 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.800 Love. 210 00:20:01.800 --> 00:20:04.240 And that's what the fellowship of the trinity looks like. 211 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.400 The fellowship of the trinity, they set the atmosphere for what heaven on earth looks 212 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:09.400 like. 213 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:11.280 They set the atmosphere for it. 214 00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:16.160 And everything in heaven, the whole atmosphere of heaven flows out of the fellowship of the 215 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.160 trinity. 216 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.800 It flows out of the fellowship of the divine dance. 217 00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:26.160 It flows out of this maximum volume love that's perpetually playing on full noise. 218 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:33.560 So what you have, what I think an authentic expression of heaven looks like is it looks 219 00:20:33.560 --> 00:20:35.480 like love. 220 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:39.600 And all of those beautiful values that have been coming out, I mean there were so many 221 00:20:39.600 --> 00:20:44.280 beautiful values that were just being poured out as we were asking what do you value, what 222 00:20:44.280 --> 00:20:46.600 do you think heaven on earth looks like. 223 00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:53.000 Well all those values that you were pouring out, they're all expressions of love. 224 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.440 In one way or another, all of those values are a derivative of love. 225 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.440 They're all a dynamic way of expressing love. 226 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:09.240 So for me, the question that I ask our guys in the process of building divine family is 227 00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:11.360 I say look at our values. 228 00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:19.080 You can sum up all of our values by asking this question, what does love look like? 229 00:21:19.080 --> 00:21:20.860 What does love look like? 230 00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:27.100 So I want to ask you the same question but in a different way and see what response, 231 00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:29.420 see what answers we get to this. 232 00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:35.500 So how about now, why don't you chuck out what does love look like for you in community? 233 00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:37.260 You might get the same answer, that's fine. 234 00:21:37.260 --> 00:21:39.900 If you might get different answers, that's fine. 235 00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:43.980 But what does love look like in a community? 236 00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:45.540 What does that look like to you? 237 00:21:45.540 --> 00:21:55.700 How about you chuck down your top three things of what do you think love looks like? 238 00:21:55.700 --> 00:22:03.500 For me, love looks like delight. 239 00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:05.940 To me, love doesn't look reserved. 240 00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:09.620 Love looks extravagant. 241 00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:10.620 What about you guys? 242 00:22:10.620 --> 00:22:11.620 I want to hear your thoughts. 243 00:22:11.620 --> 00:22:17.540 No, not judging, forgiveness, caring, compassion, kindness, yes, come on. 244 00:22:17.540 --> 00:22:24.660 I think love looks like people, when love matures in the context of community, receiving 245 00:22:24.660 --> 00:22:26.180 the other just as they are. 246 00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:32.860 I think love in the context of a community also looks like people operating in their 247 00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:41.340 fullness, being authentically me, caring and sharing, beautiful, generosity, absolutely, 248 00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:48.700 generosity, compassion, come on, alive, joyful, hopeful, beautiful, celebrating each other. 249 00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:51.500 Yeah, Dean, that's massive, celebration. 250 00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:55.260 I think celebration is off the charts, oh my gosh. 251 00:22:55.260 --> 00:22:59.380 Looking out for one another, overflowing, accountability, mutual trust, championing, 252 00:22:59.380 --> 00:23:03.900 togetherness, kindness, fearless, yo, come on, these are massive, these are amazing. 253 00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:09.020 Eyes that light up when they see me, yes, being authentic to oneself, oh my gosh, these 254 00:23:09.020 --> 00:23:10.020 are amazing. 255 00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:17.300 Yeah, party for everyone, oh, come on, oh, yeah, joy, laughter, unity, oh, come

00:23:29.540 I absolutely agree, I think this is what heaven on earth looks like, heaven on earth looks 259 00:23:29.540 --> 00:23:35.140 like love, all these vibrant, continuous joy, wanting others to grow, giving, true potential 260 00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:40.500 realized at total rest, yes, this is what love looks like, what heaven on earth looks 261 00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:43.100 like, come on, that is amazing. 262 00:23:43.100 --> 00:23:51.220 Wow, bright eyes, wide smiles, open arms, come on, that is amazing, what great feedback. 263 00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:56.260 Now I want to change, I want to transition a little bit, right, because this is a real 264 00:23:56.260 --> 00:24:02.820 process, like everything that we're doing is process, everything is a journey. 265 00:24:02.820 --> 00:24:08.540 Who thinks that a community that is like an authentic expression of heaven on earth, 266 00:24:08.540 --> 00:24:13.700 who thinks that is just like, boom, overnight it's just going to happen, whoa, transparency, 267 00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:14.700 beautiful. 268 00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:20.260 Do you think that, do you think, just give me a thumbs up, or a yes, or a no, or a maybe, 269 00:24:20.260 --> 00:24:26.860 but do you think that an authentic expression of heaven on earth is just going to pop up 270 00:24:26.860 --> 00:24:29.300 overnight in a community? 271 00:24:29.300 --> 00:24:33.900 What do you think? 272 00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:37.660 For me, I don't think so. 273 00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:45.740 For me, I don't think that authentic expressions of heaven just pop up like that, and I think 274 00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:53.700 that it's a real process actually, a real process to try and build trust, a real process 275 00:24:53.700 --> 00:25:00.020 to establish safety, a real process to... 276 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:09.680 Come to this place where I'm really, really happy to be vulnerable with you. 277 00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:15.840 I'm secure in my sonship, I'm secure enough to be vulnerable with you. 278 00:25:15.840 --> 00:25:22.920 Yeah, so this is a real process, just like our transformation journeys are a process, 279 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:29.120 it takes time to actually step into our sonship, it takes time to transition from the orphan 280 00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:34.480 illusion into the bliss of sonship, you know, that's a journey, for us so many of these 281 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.760 things are a journey. 282 00:25:37.760 --> 00:25:44.840 Now I'll tell you what, one thing that I do notice is, if I'm in a group of people, if 283 00:25:44.840 --> 00:25:48.760 I'm in a group of people who know who they are, if I'm in a group of people who are actually 284 00:25:48.760 --> 00:25:53.080 walking in sonship, now it's a different story if I'm with a group of people who are walking 285 00:25:53.080 --> 00:25:58.520 in sonship, because if I'm with a group of people who are walking in their sonship, it's 286 00:25:58.520 --> 00:26:03.880 instant, it's effortless, and it's perfect. 287 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:09.520 The issue really is, the thing that, you know, because, let me share with you again my definition 288 00:26:09.520 --> 00:26:11.440 of what sonship looks like. 289 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:18.800 Sonship looks like an unbroken, mature sonship, when we're walking in mature sonship, it looks 290 00:26:18.800 --> 00:26:26.080 like us receiving divine love perfectly and giving perfect expression to divine love. 291 00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:31.440 So if you've got like a hundred people who can receive divine love perfectly and give 292 00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:36.120 perfect expression to divine love, boom, for that group of people, for sons, it's going 293 00:26:36.120 --> 00:26:40.560 to be totally effortless, right, and that's where we're heading, that's where we're going, 294 00:26:40.560 --> 00:26:45.120 that's why we're running a school of sonship, an online school of sonship, schools of sonship 295 00:26:45.120 --> 00:26:49.240 all around the world, school of sonship in Te Anau, school of sonship everywhere we go, 296 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:52.760 that's why we do a school of sonship, because we're dreaming of this day, we're dreaming 297 00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:59.800 of getting it to this day, where we come to the place where it's effortless, you know, 298 00:26:59.800 --> 00:27:03.920 where the whole, there's a viral outbreak of sonship all over the world, and people 299 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:09.640 are walking in the fullness of their sonship, so every time the sons gather, you have effortless 300 00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:15.440 expressions, effortless and authentic expressions of heaven on earth. 301 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:20.320 But in the process, in the meantime, while we're still working out our junk, you know, 302 00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:24.520 when we're still dealing with our own sense of inadequacy, when we're still overcoming 303 00:27:24.520 --> 00:27:28.880 suicidal thoughts, when we're still overcoming shame, when we're still overcoming all of 304 00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:35.320 this junk that we're processing through, and we're stepping into the bliss of sonship and 305 00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:40.400 out of the orphan illusion, when we're in that process, every now and then, you know, 306 00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:45.920 every now and then, just sometimes, we don't quite express love perfectly. 307 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:50.800 Every now and then, we don't quite receive love perfectly, and every now and then, we 308 00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:57.440 don't quite express love perfectly, so every now and then, when we aren't walking out the 309 00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:03.680 reality of our sonship, we experience a love deficit, and we might lash out at someone, 310 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:09.000 we might do something that is less than love. 311 00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:16.600 So in our family, one thing that we are really, really honest about is mess. 312 00:28:16.600 --> 00:28:23.320 Our family, it's like, our family's like an ecosystem, you know, like a forest. 313 00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:28.240 Our family here in Te Anau, our church family, our revival school family, our school of sonship 314 00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:29.720 family, it's like a forest. 315 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.520 You've got big trees, you've got some people who are really mature in their sonship, and 316 00:28:32.520 --> 00:28:37.880 those ones are like, they're like this constant manifestation of love, you know, nothing that 317 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.520 you do to them is going to cause them to lash out at you. 318 00:28:41.520 --> 00:28:45.480 If you cut them, they're going to bleed love, just like Jesus when He's on the cross, the 319 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:50.000 perfect demonstration, the perfect expression, the greatest moment that sonship was ever 320 00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.840 put on display, the greatest moment that the Father was ever revealed in the full extremity 321 00:28:54.840 --> 00:28:55.840 of His love. 322 00:28:55.840 --> 00:28:59.000 You cut Him, and He bleeds love. 323 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:03.480 So we've got, you know, we've got in our community some people who are like tall, coldy trees, 324 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.040 big trees, and you cut them, and they bleed love. 325 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.960 And then you've got other people who are just beginning their journey, and, you know, they 326 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:16.520 can sometimes have, like, anger issues, and sometimes we've got, you know, offense creeps 327 00:29:16.520 --> 00:29:23.800 in, and sometimes, you know, just different things happen in the community, and we make 328 00:29:23.800 --> 00:29:24.800 mess. 329 00:29:24.800 --> 00:29:30.160 Put a thumbs up, or put one of the things that you think are the most common types of 330 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:34.680 mess that we make in Christian communities. 331 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.000 What type of mess do you see all the time? 332 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.760 What type of things are, like, cyclical messes? 333 00:29:39.760 --> 00:29:43.440 You've been a part of a church split, or you've seen a pastor do something crazy, or you've 334 00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:48.400 seen a, you know, one of your leaders do something crazy, or you yourself have done something 335 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.320 totally crazy, you've orphaned out in church. 336 00:29:51.320 --> 00:29:55.440 What are some of the big messes that you've seen? 337 00:29:55.440 --> 00:30:00.080 What type of actions, behaviors, addictions, wounded souls, offenses? 338 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.360 Offence is massive, judging each other harshly and falsely, offence, yeah. 339 00:30:07.360 --> 00:30:08.360 What are these other things? 340 00:30:08.360 --> 00:30:15.800 Yeah man, offence is coming up big time, offence is like hitting the top, judging people, man 341 00:30:15.800 --> 00:30:23.520 that's so common, yeah, dishonour, yeah, more offence, it's like people are almost addicted 342 00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:29.000 to offence, yeah, lacking in love, control, yeah, manipulation and control is off the 343 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:35.440 charts, yeah, boom, Dean, you nailed it, manipulation and control is huge, yeah, insensitivity, 344 00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:44.440 more offences, yeah, gossip, you know, all of these things are an expression of mess. 345 00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:49.520 Now I want to get a little bit more vulnerable, yeah, verbal backlash and unloving, I want 346 00:30:49.520 --> 00:30:54.720 to get a little bit more vulnerable, I just want to ask you who's been like me, who's 347 00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:59.760 been like I have and who has been the cause of that before? 348 00:30:59.760 --> 00:31:05.120 I'm definitely saying yes I have, if I'm going to type in the comments on this, I'd be definitely 349 00:31:05.120 --> 00:31:14.200 saying yes, I have been the cause of this, this time, you know, on a number of occasions 350 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.880 as well, there's, I don't know how many times I've judged people myself, I don't know how 351 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:23.120 many times I've taken offence myself, you know, if I look back through my life, the 352 00:31:23.120 --> 00:31:29.160 amount of times where I've actually been the cause issue of, yeah, of unforgiveness, 353 00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:36.280 I've been the root issue of judging people harshly, I've been the root issue of gossip, 354 00:31:36.280 --> 00:31:42.600 I've been the root issue of bitterness, I've been the root issue of all of these negative 355 00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:47.840 things that you've been sharing up there, I'm like, oh yeah, totally guilty, like that 356 00:31:47.840 --> 00:31:53.520 is me, and yeah, not so much right now, not so much, I'm making some real good progress 357 00:31:53.520 --> 00:32:01.520 on that, but like absolutely, I have been there, I have done that, this is not about 358 00:32:01.520 --> 00:32:06.600 some other person, some other churches that don't have mess, some other people that don't 359 00:32:06.600 --> 00:32:15.400 have mess, I'm like, whoa, like I think I've caused most types of mess that you can cause, 360 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:24.120 so I've totally done that, now, who's made a mess, who's made a mess and then been on 361 00:32:24.120 --> 00:32:32.440 the receiving end of grace, who's been on the receiving end of grace and forgiveness 362 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:38.960 when you have made a mess, yep, I just wanna, you know, like, hands up, thumbs up, say, 363 00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:44.320 I have received grace, why don't you just put that down and say, I have received grace, 364 00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:49.960 I have received forgiveness, I have received mercy, if you have received that, then why 365 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.680 don't you put that down in the comments as well, saying, yep, I have totally received 366 00:32:53.680 --> 00:33:00.360 that, oh man, I have received that, I've been on the receiving end of grace, when I've made 367 00:33:00.360 --> 00:33:09.040 mess and that has been a massive game breaker, game changer, oh my gosh, receiving grace 368 00:33:09.040 --> 00:33:15.760 from one another, receiving forgiveness is like, oh my gosh, thank you everyone, not 369 00:33:15.760 --> 00:33:19.600 just grace from God, I mean, we've absolutely all received grace from God, but grace from 370 00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:26.940 each other, grace from God is awesome, but I mean, it's like, God's really good at giving 371 00:33:26.940 --> 00:33:31.480 grace and, but when you receive grace from other people, that's when you're kind of not 372 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.440 sure, you know, like, I'm pretty sure God's gonna extend grace to me in my failures, but 373 00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:41.400 what about the people in church, oh my gosh, what about the actual people that I upset 374 00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:47.360 and offended, like, oh my gosh, how are they gonna respond to this and are they gonna have 375 00:33:47.360 --> 00:33:54.360 mercy, so I think these are all like, massive parts to the process of us building a family 376 00:33:54.360 --> 00:33:58.320 here together, who wants to, who wants to build a family, who wants to build a sense 377 00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:05.160 of, who wants to work with me together, to co-labor together, to run together, to build 378 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:11.800 and to create, collectively together, an authentic expression of heaven on earth. 379 00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:16.920 If you're like, yeah, boy, I'm in on that, I want to build an authentic expression of 380 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:20.880 heaven on earth, then just be like, just, yeah, I'm seeing lots of thumbs up and loving 381 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:25.480 going on, but just like, boom, just say, yeah, I'm in, just type in there, like, I'm in on 382 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.320 that, I'm in on that, yep, we've got some thumbs up, just say, yep, I'm in, I'm in, 383 00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:36.000 I'm in on that, I am in, me, I'm in, I want, and I'm so happy to be doing that with you 384 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:42.520 guys, it's like, yes, what an ultimate crew, whoa, what an ultimate crew to be with, to 385 00:34:42.520 --> 00:34:52.280 be building heaven together, come on, that is awesome, so, whoa, come on, we are in, 386 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.280 so that's just, that's amazing, I mean, there's so much agreement, I'm getting so much agreement, 387 00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.760 so much buy-in, so much. 388 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:10.280 Heartfelt agreement on this desire to collectively work together to create an unbroken cycle 389 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:11.280 of divine love. 390 00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.720 To collectively work together to bring heaven to earth. 391 00:35:14.720 --> 00:35:19.360 Now bringing heaven to earth is not actually a matter of signs, wonders and miracles. 392 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:21.800 It's definitely not a matter of big buildings. 393 00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:27.040 It's definitely not a matter of big numbers because you can have big buildings with big 394 00:35:27.040 --> 00:35:33.840 numbers and even signs, wonders and miracles full of orphans and full of these love deficits 395 00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:39.840 and full of the inability to receive divine love and the inability to express divine love. 396 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:45.560 But if we want to bring heaven to earth then what we have to be able to do is create a 397 00:35:45.560 --> 00:35:47.880 context, a community. 398 00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:49.960 Bringing heaven to earth happens in relationship. 399 00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:56.120 It happens in this place of divine family where I express divine love to you and you 400 00:35:56.120 --> 00:36:02.000 receive that expression of divine love and you express that divine love back to me and 401 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:07.800 back to the others and so we have this unbroken cycle, this divine dance happening among us. 402 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:13.840 Not just among the trinity but actually an authentic expression of the divine dance reproduced 403 00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.360 among us. 404 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:16.720 You and I dancing. 405 00:36:16.720 --> 00:36:19.600 You and I perfectly expressing divine love. 406 00:36:19.600 --> 00:36:22.200 You and I mirroring. 407 00:36:22.200 --> 00:36:26.880 You and I mirroring, mirroring, mirroring, mirroring, mirroring, mirroring. 408 00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:29.600 That is such an ultimate key word. 409 00:36:29.600 --> 00:36:35.600 It's you and I together in our relationship mirroring what the trinity are putting on 410 00:36:35.600 --> 00:36:42.560 display for us to reproduce, to replicate, to recreate, to mirror. 411 00:36:42.560 --> 00:36:48.960 We're called to mirror an authentic expression of heaven which is an unbroken cycle of divine 412 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:49.960 love. 413 00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:52.600 It's mirroring the divine dance or perichoresis. 414 00:36:52.600 --> 00:37:00.400 It's mirroring the divine dance in our relationships, mirroring the divine dance in our relationships 415 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.880 and that is a process. 416 00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:10.080 That requires a journey and that's such a high bar. 417 00:37:10.080 --> 00:37:11.600 That is a high standard. 418 00:37:11.600 --> 00:37:17.880 You can't get a higher standard in a community than saying, okay guys, the standard is what 419 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.880 does love look like? 420 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:28.280 And for us when we've got, actually I've got some here, one second, I'll chuck this out. 421 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:33.960 But here for our church, right, our church we have this thing here, it's called our DNA 422 00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:39.400 and if you flick through this book here of our DNA, you see some pictures, hey, there's 423 00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:45.840 our guys and then it says our values, look at this, let me just read this, our values, 424 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:52.480 our values, it says this, the source of our values is our image of God. 425 00:37:52.480 --> 00:38:02.760 We believe that God is love, God is good and God is a trinity perfectly united in love. 426 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.240 As a result, our core value is love. 427 00:38:07.240 --> 00:38:16.280 We regularly ask ourselves and train others to ask this question in every context. 428 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:20.920 What does love look like? 429 00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:25.820 Whatever love looks like, that's what we value. 430 00:38:25.820 --> 00:38:34.360 The value of love acts as a compass to us, always giving us clear direction for our next 431 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:45.160 step in the midst of many dynamic situations, challenges to overcome and people to relate 432 00:38:45.160 --> 00:38:47.520 to. 433 00:38:47.520 --> 00:38:54.720 So for us as we're going forward as a family, this is what I want us to kind of base our 434 00:38:54.720 --> 00:39:03.720 value on, to base our culture on, is on this belief that the trinity is love, God is love. 435 00:39:03.720 --> 00:39:07.280 1 John 4, God is love. 436 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:18.360 Boom, God is love, the trinity is love and our image of God, it becomes our value, that's 437 00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:24.200 what sets up our values and so for us going forward in this process of building heaven 438 00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:28.760 or bringing heaven to earth, it's this process of asking what does love look like and I don't 439 00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:33.840 think that there could be a higher standard in a culture or in a community than what does 440 00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:34.840 love look like. 441 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.800 It's like that's the highest standard that you could get and if you've got a high standard 442 00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:47.000 like that, if you've got a high standard like that, then you're probably gonna like every 443 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:50.760 now and then stuff it up. 444 00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:56.200 It's just possible, it's just possible that every now and then you might operate, you 445 00:39:56.200 --> 00:40:00.080 might do something that is just marginally less than love. 446 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.500 Now, if we've got a community that the standard is love, our value is love, 447 00:40:04.500 --> 00:40:06.800 if we're all protecting that, right? 448 00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:09.600 If I'm protecting that standard, if you're protecting that standard, 449 00:40:09.600 --> 00:40:12.900 if we're all working hard together to protect that standard, 450 00:40:12.900 --> 00:40:18.000 the standard of love, then what we get is we get a safe place. 451 00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:19.800 And the moment that you've got this safe place, 452 00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.700 the moment you've got this place of unconditional acceptance, 453 00:40:22.700 --> 00:40:25.600 unconditional love, unconditional delight, 454 00:40:25.600 --> 00:40:28.600 we create the context, the family 455 00:40:28.600 --> 00:40:31.400 that where we can thrive and excel like never before. 456 00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:36.600 And I just want to say to you like this is what you need to be the best you. 457 00:40:36.600 --> 00:40:41.300 To be the best you, you need divine family. 458 00:40:41.300 --> 00:40:46.400 To be the best you, you need divine family. 459 00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:50.300 This place where you can thrive and excel like never before 460 00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:54.300 in the context of divine love, 461 00:40:54.300 --> 00:40:59.100 you are going to thrive and excel like never before. 462 00:40:59.100 --> 00:41:00.100 So what about this? 463 00:41:00.100 --> 00:41:04.700 What if we were a community that made a commitment? 464 00:41:04.700 --> 00:41:06.500 And so whether you're watching this live 465 00:41:06.500 --> 00:41:11.500 or whether you're watching this in delayed coverage, 466 00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:15.600 then what I want to suggest to us is that this should be, 467 00:41:15.600 --> 00:41:19.600 this should be the standard for us. 468 00:41:19.600 --> 00:41:23.500 And I want to ask you and I want to actually kind of make it a bit of an appeal now 469 00:41:23.500 --> 00:41:25.900 and just say I appeal to you, would you? 470 00:41:25.900 --> 00:41:29.300 And for a lot of us that's what we already, 471 00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:30.700 it's already the desire of our heart, 472 00:41:30.700 --> 00:41:34.200 but I want to ask you would you make an agreement? 473 00:41:34.200 --> 00:41:41.000 Would you make a commitment to the standard of what does love look like? 474 00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:44.000 And if you are willing to make that agreement, 475 00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:48.800 just I just want you to say I'm in or like I agree. 476 00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.700 Just say I commit anything along those words. 477 00:41:51.700 --> 00:41:53.600 It's like or sign your name. 478 00:41:53.600 --> 00:41:55.800 You could put an autograph to it. 479 00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.300 But what I'm really hoping to get is buy-in, 480 00:42:00.300 --> 00:42:03.400 is buy-in to build this family together. 481 00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:07.200 To me what we're doing here at the School of Sonship is about way, 482 00:42:07.200 --> 00:42:12.100 way, way more than just a couple of like some interesting teaching. 483 00:42:12.100 --> 00:42:17.300 You know, I want this to be way about way more than just interesting teaching. 484 00:42:17.300 --> 00:42:22.800 I want this to be, I really want to build Divine Family 485 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:27.000 and out of Divine Family I want to see giant slayers raised up 486 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:30.500 who can shape nations and write history 487 00:42:30.500 --> 00:42:34.500 and influence the seven mountains of influence in the nations. 488 00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:39.200 I want to see unprecedented revival breakout of this place of Divine Family. 489 00:42:39.200 --> 00:42:43.000 I want to see a viral outbreak of Sonship breakout 490 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:45.500 that changes normal on the face of the earth forever. 491 00:42:45.600 --> 00:42:47.900 Out of this context of Divine Family, 492 00:42:47.900 --> 00:42:53.700 I want to see a viral outbreak of dreams that literally shape nations. 493 00:42:53.700 --> 00:42:55.800 Come on guys, thanks so much for your buy-in. 494 00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:57.200 Thanks so much for your agreement. 495 00:42:57.200 --> 00:42:58.200 That's amazing. 496 00:42:58.200 --> 00:43:01.400 So whether you're watching it live or whether you're watching it in delayed, 497 00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:03.500 I just want to encourage you jump on board this. 498 00:43:03.500 --> 00:43:04.600 Come on, that's amazing. 499 00:43:04.600 --> 00:43:07.600 I'm in, me personally, I'm a hundred percent in 500 00:43:07.600 --> 00:43:11.400 to this process of building Divine Family. 501 00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:15.200 And because I'm a hundred percent in and I'm a hundred percent committed to the value, 502 00:43:15.200 --> 00:43:17.500 I'm going to do something else as well. 503 00:43:17.500 --> 00:43:20.400 What I'm going to do is if I stuff it up, 504 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.000 if I mess up the standard, 505 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:24.700 the standard is so high. 506 00:43:24.700 --> 00:43:26.600 The standard is what does love look like? 507 00:43:26.600 --> 00:43:29.400 So, you know, if you're feeling insecure, 508 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:31.200 the standard is what does love look like? 509 00:43:31.200 --> 00:43:33.400 If you're feeling backed into a corner, 510 00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:35.400 the standard is what does love look like? 511 00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:36.800 If you're having a bad day, 512 00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:38.900 the standard is what does love look like? 513 00:43:38.900 --> 00:43:43.500 If you're feeling not so good or if your attitude is not so good 514 00:43:43.500 --> 00:43:46.100 or if you're feeling grumpy or feeling angry, 515 00:43:46.100 --> 00:43:48.200 the standard still remains, 516 00:43:48.200 --> 00:43:49.600 what does love look like? 517 00:43:49.600 --> 00:43:51.500 So what I'm going to say is, you know, 518 00:43:51.500 --> 00:43:53.800 if I drop the ball in this process, 519 00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:55.400 if I stuff it up, 520 00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.400 if I'm like, oh man, I like I messed that up, 521 00:43:58.400 --> 00:43:59.700 I dropped the ball, 522 00:43:59.700 --> 00:44:01.900 my actions there, my words there, 523 00:44:01.900 --> 00:44:03.400 that was less than love. 524 00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:04.500 I'm going to do something. 525 00:44:04.500 --> 00:44:07.200 Okay, here's what I'm going to do if I stuff it up. 526 00:44:07.200 --> 00:44:09.600 If I stuff it up, 527 00:44:09.600 --> 00:44:12.900 I'm just, I'm just going to say sorry. 528 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:14.300 I'm going to say sorry. 529 00:44:14.300 --> 00:44:17.500 If I stuff it up, I am going to say sorry 530 00:44:17.500 --> 00:44:19.200 and I'm going to ask for forgiveness 531 00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:22.300 because in doing that and asking for forgiveness 532 00:44:22.300 --> 00:44:23.500 and saying sorry, 533 00:44:23.500 --> 00:44:27.800 I actually restore the standard. 534 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:32.900 I actually restore the standard. 535 00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:36.300 So that's just such an awesome key for us, 536 00:44:36.300 --> 00:44:39.600 you know, because in the process of, 537 00:44:39.600 --> 00:44:43.500 in the process of building, 538 00:44:43.500 --> 00:44:44.400 building family, 539 00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:46.900 in the process of going after Heaven's finest, 540 00:44:46.900 --> 00:44:49.900 in the process of dreaming for nations 541 00:44:49.900 --> 00:44:51.500 and dreaming of writing world history, 542 00:44:51.500 --> 00:44:55.000 in the process of dreaming for a viral outbreak of sunship 543 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:56.600 and a viral outbreak of dreams 544 00:44:56.600 --> 00:44:59.300 and dreaming for the wildest things that we can dream of, 545 00:44:59.300 --> 00:45:00.000 in that process, 546 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.720 Every now and then we stuff it up and personally as a leader, I live with the sense of failure 547 00:45:06.720 --> 00:45:07.720 all the time. 548 00:45:07.720 --> 00:45:13.600 Now, it doesn't define me, but I think when you are always doing new things, when you're 549 00:45:13.600 --> 00:45:16.800 always trying, when you're always having a go, when you're always chasing crazy dreams, 550 00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:21.040 when you're always jumping out of the boat, when you're always extending yourself and 551 00:45:21.040 --> 00:45:25.880 go, I'm going to try and do the impossible, you stuff it up. 552 00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:26.880 You feel like you fail. 553 00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:34.280 For me personally, I feel like I'm apologizing a lot in my life and that's okay. 554 00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:39.600 The reason I apologize a lot is because just the reality is I just make mistakes. 555 00:45:39.600 --> 00:45:41.200 I make mistakes. 556 00:45:41.200 --> 00:45:45.400 A lot of them are things that I'm not intentionally doing, seldom is it something that I've gone 557 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:50.960 out of my way to intentionally harm someone, but every now and then, even with one of our 558 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:56.600 awesome leaders in our church this week, I messed up, I forgot to do something, I said 559 00:45:56.600 --> 00:46:01.200 I was going to do, I was like, oh no, and it was really important and I had the moment 560 00:46:01.200 --> 00:46:06.280 to do it and it just slipped my mind and that mind I forgot to do it, I was like, oh no, 561 00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:10.680 and it really hurt then that I hadn't done it, and I was like, oh, what a bummer, and 562 00:46:10.680 --> 00:46:12.880 I felt this massive sense of failure. 563 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:16.880 Now, the good thing about knowing who you are and being secure in your identity is that 564 00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:21.720 you know that that failure doesn't define you, you don't take failure as fatal, you 565 00:46:21.720 --> 00:46:26.120 just take failure as feedback, it's like, okay, right, we can change this around, we 566 00:46:26.120 --> 00:46:38.160 can shift this around, so for us going forward, if we, if we stuff it up in any way, what 567 00:46:38.160 --> 00:46:44.920 I want to encourage us to do is be like, hey, let's restore the standard by asking for forgiveness 568 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:51.640 from one another, let's say sorry if we do that, and then at the same time, I think all 569 00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:56.200 of us said we know what it's like to be on the receiving end of grace, so those are the 570 00:46:56.200 --> 00:47:02.240 moments when it's like, yeah, I've received grace, you know, freely you have received 571 00:47:02.240 --> 00:47:08.000 freely, good, so boom, we just, massive grace to each other in the process, massive grace 572 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:14.400 to each other in the journey, and I hope that that's going to be, going to help really set 573 00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:22.000 us up for building just such an awesome, awesome sense of, sense of family and going 574 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:26.080 somewhere that, you know, potentially for some of us, we've never gone before in a level 575 00:47:26.080 --> 00:47:31.000 of safety that you feel in this group and a level of vulnerability that you can have 576 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:36.320 in this group and a level of connection that you can have in this group because you feel 577 00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:39.800 so safe, so that's what I'm going after, that's what I'm dreaming of, that's why I want to 578 00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:46.080 just lay that foundation tonight of divine family, bringing heaven to earth through divine 579 00:47:46.080 --> 00:47:54.000 family, that's what we're going after, and so, what I'd love us to do, you know, we're 580 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:59.480 just going to wrap it up, just going to wrap it up now for tonight, but give me a thumbs 581 00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:03.720 up if that's been really valuable, if you like that, if you kind of like that way to 582 00:48:03.720 --> 00:48:08.520 start the journey together, if it's been like, yeah man, let's go after divine family, let's 583 00:48:08.520 --> 00:48:15.520 create a safe place, let's be people who commit, commit to the standard of what does 584 00:48:15.520 --> 00:48:21.520 love look like, let's be those that if we stuff it up, if we fail in the process, we're 585 00:48:21.520 --> 00:48:26.760 those that we go and we tidy up our mess, and we're not afraid of mess, we're not afraid 586 00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:30.600 of failure, we don't have to hide mess, we don't have to hide failure, we can be totally 587 00:48:30.600 --> 00:48:36.560 vulnerable about our mess, totally vulnerable about our failures, and we can ask for forgiveness, 588 00:48:36.560 --> 00:48:45.200 we can ask for, we can say sorry, so I hope that's really valuable for you, for me I've 589 00:48:45.200 --> 00:48:51.360 implemented this process over and over again, and it has been like the number one thing 590 00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:56.840 that is basically the number one catalyst for radical transformation and accelerated 591 00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:01.800 transformation that we see as this divine family, in Māori, in New Zealand, the Māori 592 00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:06.960 word that I use is whanau ngatanga, it's like the core of our, it's the core of our 593 00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:11.480 community, it's the core of it, so whanau ngatanga, it's what we're all about, and that's 594 00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:16.920 the Māori word, and we're all about whanau ngatanga, it's just like how our culture, 595 00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:20.040 it's what our culture is founded on, it's what our family is founded on, it's what we 596 00:49:20.040 --> 00:49:26.400 spend all of our time investing into and building into, so if you're feeling safe, and if you're 597 00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:32.040 feeling like yeah, come on, I want to do this, I want to really ask you to get a little 598 00:49:32.040 --> 00:49:38.280 bit vulnerable in the group, I want to just challenge you as well, hey how about you step 599 00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:45.360 out in that level of vulnerability, and how about we start to get to know each other, 600 00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:51.760 start to let the facades down, start to kind of open up our hearts, start to be courageous 601 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:56.000 in letting people see our hearts and seeing who we are, so one thing that I'd love to 602 00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:59.920 do, just to start that is, how about you jump on 603 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.380 do a short live you know maybe like a three minute live a live video so it's 604 00:50:06.380 --> 00:50:10.240 pretty easy to do a live video if you haven't done one of those before you can 605 00:50:10.240 --> 00:50:15.680 just grab your phone and at the top of the the comment section where it says 606 00:50:15.680 --> 00:50:21.120 there's an opportunity to give a post you can you actually it says make at the 607 00:50:21.120 --> 00:50:24.440 top it says make post or a photo or there's the option is like a little 608 00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:28.080 video camera it says live video so you can just boom click that fella there 609 00:50:28.080 --> 00:50:33.480 live video and you can set yourself up for a live video what I would love to 610 00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:39.600 see is I would love to see see us sharing maybe like a three minute entry 611 00:50:39.600 --> 00:50:43.160 so it's a little bit deeper than we do in a 60 second intro that we that we 612 00:50:43.160 --> 00:50:47.240 normally do but maybe a three minute intro to you and I want to spice it up 613 00:50:47.240 --> 00:50:50.920 I want to kind of be a bit of an icebreaker as well a bit of a funny 614 00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:56.760 thing where you let's maybe talk about some like some embarrassing moments 615 00:50:56.760 --> 00:51:01.560 right maybe why don't you talk about an embarrassing moment that's just going to 616 00:51:01.560 --> 00:51:04.080 get like a bit of icebreaker stuff because that's pretty funny I think 617 00:51:04.080 --> 00:51:09.200 people love laughing so many values so many good reasons to laugh so why don't 618 00:51:09.200 --> 00:51:12.880 you jump on and do a live that introduces yourself and in that include 619 00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:16.880 you know an embarrassing story not one that's going to leave you in shame or 620 00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:19.120 anything like that but just something that's a little bit of embarrassing 621 00:51:19.120 --> 00:51:21.800 that's going to be pretty funny everyone's going to get a bit of a laugh 622 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:27.120 and then some ice breaking and some connecting and then also why don't you 623 00:51:27.120 --> 00:51:34.240 share in that three minutes as well why don't you share one thing that's kind of 624 00:51:34.240 --> 00:51:38.080 vulnerable kind of deep about something that you've overcome you know a struggle 625 00:51:38.080 --> 00:51:41.640 that you've had you struggled with it you fought with it you battle with it 626 00:51:41.640 --> 00:51:45.520 was deep it was personal but you actually overcame and you were victorious 627 00:51:45.520 --> 00:51:49.280 in that so I'd love to hear that from you guys I'd love to hear any more 628 00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:54.240 questions

00:53:08.720 we've never seen before would you give us ears to hear what we've never heard 640 00:53:08.720 --> 00:53:17.760 before would you give us hearts to receive what we've never received before 641 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:23.920 and even right now I can feel it so strongly so powerfully in the spirit 642 00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:27.480 right now I can I can feel it I can sense it I can even have a picture of 643 00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:31.480 him doing it but there are things that you need to receive right now there's 644 00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:36.000 people right now and you're in a place we like man I need you've just got some 645 00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:39.840 needs on the on the demand list of like what not not that you're demanding from 646 00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:44.240 God but just needs that you things you really need to receive from God and not 647 00:53:44.240 --> 00:53:47.840 physical things yes so I mean it's physical things as well I just want to 648 00:53:47.840

over 650 00:53:57.200 --> 00:54:03.080 you in every way but I think that really what I'm seeing that the Lord is 651 00:54:03.180 --> 00:54:08.320 releasing to people that they that they really need to receive is I see people 652 00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:13.640 receiving a new image of who He is I see people receiving a new revelation of the 653 00:54:13.640 --> 00:54:18.100 goodness of the Trinity I see people receiving a new revelation of the safety 654 00:54:18.100 --> 00:54:23.200 of the Trinity I see people receiving new revelation of how trustworthy the 655 00:54:23.200 --> 00:54:27.840 Trinity is I see people receiving a new revelation of what love looks like I see 656 00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:31.680 people receiving a new understanding that it's in the fellowship of the 657 00:54:31.680 --> 00:54:37.400 Trinity that they're gonna thrive like never before so Papa I thank you that 658 00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:42.240 you're depositing that and I thank you that you're sealing

our ears begin to hear the volume, the intensity, 663 00:55:04.520 --> 00:55:09.600 the extravagance, the awe, the wonder, the delight that's in your love, that our ears 664 00:55:09.600 --> 00:55:14.120 we would hear it like a stereo stuck on full volume, that your delight in us 665 00:55:14.120 --> 00:55:21.800 would be stuck on full volume in our hearts, in our minds, in our heads. 666 00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:26.080 Papa, I thank you as we just finish tonight. Thank you for wrapping up every 667 00:55:26.080 --> 00:55:30.600 person in your love, your kindness, your tenderness, your goodness, and I thank you 668 00:55:30.600 --> 00:55:35.680 for giving every single person a revelation of your face, like Psalm 1611 669 00:55:35.680 --> 00:55:40.960 says, in the face or in the presence, in the face of the Lord, is the fullness of 670 00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:47.760 joy. Release that right through our whole being, Papa. In Jesus' name. Boom. Amen. 671 00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:52.080 Love you guys. I'm gonna end this live and then I'm gonna jump on myself and do 672 00:55:52.080 --> 00:55:57.200 a three-minute embarrassing moment live and also give you something that was 673 00:55:57.200 --> 00:56:02.840 deep, vulnerable, that I overcame by the grace of God. Love you. Catch you all soon. 674 00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:05.560 Ciao.
