00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.540
Welcome, Bible-Based Spiritual Equipping.

2
00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:13.980
We are on number three, call number three in the series, The Four Agreements.

3
00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:19.900
The subtitle I put, A Biblical Perspective, Discovering the Secret to Transformation.

4
00:00:19.900 --> 00:00:22.660
The Four Agreements is one of my favorite books.

5
00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:26.740
I've read it many, many times, and then on a trip recently, I listened to it, which just

6
00:00:26.740 --> 00:00:32.860
took it to a whole new level, listening to it on audio, but the reason I put Discovering

7
00:00:32.860 --> 00:00:42.780
the Secret to Transformation, I really believe that these four agreements, as we become conscious

8
00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:51.520
of them and begin to apply them, truly have the ability to undo all of these conscious

9
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:59.840
and unconscious, just thousands of tiny agreements we've been making, many without even realizing,

10
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.840
from the time we're four, five, six, seven, eight, some of you, your finances are still

11
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:14.000
being controlled right now by agreements you made back when you were like eight years old.

12
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.040
Some of you, your relationships are being controlled by agreements you made, and many

13
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:26.200
of you didn't even stop to analyze those agreements and say, is this truth?

14
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.600
Is it based on truth?

15
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:31.320
Does it even line up with God's will, God's desire for my life?

16
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:32.800
Does it line up with my destiny?

17
00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:35.000
Does it line up with my highest good?

18
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.200
Does it even serve me?

19
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.040
And so many times, we just take these agreements on, and we don't even stop to kind of put

20
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.160
them under the microscope and say, man, is this belief system, is this thing that I've

21
00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:52.280
agreed to, does it even serve me?

22
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:59.920
Some of you heard my story, you know, growing up in a very wealthy, gated community in Southern

23
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.160
California with horses and indoor swimming pools, but I saw so much craziness, you know,

24
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:10.720
my dad beating up my mom and tearing up the house and drugs and alcohol.

25
00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.800
I saw so much insanity, and my little brain didn't have the ability to process it and

26
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:25.080
make wise agreements, I just made the agreement, I didn't want any money, didn't want anything

27
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.760
to do with it, money made craziness.

28
00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:33.920
And later when my dad had a heart attack, very young, and we had to move and he'd have

29
00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:38.680
to fly back to LA for all of his business, he'd be gone all week long, I'd only see him

30
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.240
on the weekends, and then my little brain said, ooh, money took my daddy away.

31
00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:49.400
And so you can imagine the battle I ever had to have any money.

32
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:55.480
And so here's this unconscious agreement, and then of course in high school, I got introduced

33
00:02:55.480 --> 00:02:59.800
to a Christian church, and the teaching was that money was the root of all evil, and I

34
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.560
thought, yeah, I agree with you, sign me up, I don't want any.

35
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:08.680
Then you wonder why you struggle and struggle and struggle, and however much comes in, exactly

36
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:09.840
that much goes out.

37
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.240
I would propose to you that if the exact amount coming in goes out, you get a little blessing

38
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.320
and some money comes in and then your car breaks down and it just goes out and you're

39
00:03:18.320 --> 00:03:22.240
always just right there, I would propose that there's some agreements that you're not even

40
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.000
thinking about that you have around money.

41
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.160
While you've made these agreements around everything, around your femininity and sexuality,

42
00:03:30.160 --> 00:03:37.720
around money, around relationships, oh, so many areas, and the four agreements is a beautiful

43
00:03:37.720 --> 00:03:44.880
way to begin to break those thousands of agreements, and actually he talks about bringing

44
00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:46.200
heaven to earth.

45
00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:54.960
You know, Jesus talked about the kingdom of God, and that when we pray to bring the kingdom

46
00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:01.240
of heaven here to earth, to bring that into our reality to begin to live it, and I would

47
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:08.200
propose that God wants us to have kingdom living and to enjoy heaven and earth and to

48
00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:15.800
that life is actually supposed to be blissful and that you are the one, you, not God, not

49
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:22.720
the devil, not Obama, you are the one setting your point of enjoyment of your life and of

50
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.720
your circumstances and of the flow of your finances and of the people and things that

51
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:36.080
you're attracting into your life and of the blessings and of the curses, and as we teach

52
00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:41.440
the first of the four agreements, which is be impeccable with your word, any of you that

53
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:45.680
have been around Prosper and All Things or been around me any length of time, I mean,

54
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.600
you know, I will be talking about words, I have been talking about words for years and

55
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.280
I will be talking about words for years.

56
00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.000
It's actually a huge part of the equation of manifesting that which

57
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.800
you desire in your life. I talk about the mind, heart, mouth connection. There's this triangle

58
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.120
you can imagine. In fact, as you're listening to me, just kind of put your hand on your head,

59
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.920
your mind, your thoughts. Everything begins with a thought. The chair you're sitting on

60
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.000
begins with a thought. I've got this beautiful cherry wood desk in front of me. It began with

61
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.400
a thought. This laptop that I'm looking at began with a thought. The Delta E that I'm drinking with

62
00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:31.360
began with a thought. The Prosper oil that we've got wiped on began with a thought. Everything,

63
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.960
creation begins with a thought. And you get to choose the quality of those thoughts. And the

64
00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:43.760
quality of those thoughts then gets picked up by the different parts of your brain. The quality of

65
00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:50.880
those thoughts then, you are adding the emotions, the feelings around those thoughts. So I had the

66
00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:58.400
thought as an eight-year-old girl that money took my daddy away. Then for that thought to really

67
00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:03.920
manifest itself in my life that I don't want any money for it to become a belief system that I

68
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:11.520
live by, I needed to add the emotion. It would cause the electromagnetic frequencies to bring

69
00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:18.400
the law of attraction. It would speak to every cell in my body. It would speak over my finances.

70
00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:22.960
It would literally be a force that would push money away from me. I had to have the emotion.

71
00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:29.520
And so I would have this emotion of sadness, a low frequency emotion of grieving that, you know,

72
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:36.320
money takes my daddy away, etc, etc. And so you take this thought and now you bathe it. You literally

73
00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:42.880
water it with emotions. And then scripture says, out of the heart flow the issues of life. Scripture

74
00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:48.720
says that the mouth speaks out of what's in the heart. If you want to know, if you're not sure

75
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:53.600
about your subconscious mind, if you're not sure what it is that the thoughts you've really been

76
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.440
holding, maybe you've been disconnected, maybe you've been out of touch and you don't know the

77
00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:00.720
thoughts you're holding, you don't know what emotions you're wrapping around those thoughts,

78
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.720
all you need to do is get very keen on opening your ears and begin to listen to your words.

79
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.840
Pretend you're someone else. Just step outside of yourself and on a daily basis,

80
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:17.280
just check in for a moment, get present, get in the moment and listen to what you're saying.

81
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:24.720
Both the chatter, the choir going on in your mind and the words that are actually coming out of your

82
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:29.920
mouth. As soon as you start putting that level of consciousness, as soon as you wake up that you

83
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:36.000
actually hear your own words, you will begin to understand what you've been storing in your heart

84
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.000
and what thoughts you've been really dwelling on and you're in the position to begin to make

85
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:49.760
changes and bring about total transformation. So you've got your hand on your mind where your

86
00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:55.440
thoughts are, now put your hand over your heart and understand that it is this that gives life

87
00:07:55.440 --> 00:08:01.920
to it. It is this that births it and that puts it into action and then put your fingers on your

88
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:10.000
mouth and as you speak that is your sickle if you think in terms of harvest. So the seed is the

89
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:17.680
thought in your mind and the water, the fertilizer is your emotions and your words are the sickle

90
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:26.640
that harvests those emotions. So just pray real quick, Lord I just ask that you open every one

91
00:08:26.640 --> 00:08:32.400
of our spiritual senses. I ask like Paul prayed that you'll open the eyes of our heart. I ask that

92
00:08:32.400 --> 00:08:39.919
you'll open our spiritual ears. I ask that you will open every sense, our taste that will taste and see

93
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:46.720
that you are good and our feeling and every one of our spiritual senses, open them to receive

94
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:53.520
the word today. I ask that we will be able to receive the word today, that it'll take root,

95
00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:59.520
that it'll bring about transformation, Lord. I ask for every woman and enlightened man listening

96
00:09:00.400 --> 00:09:07.200
on this call, Father God, that their words will become an instrument of blessing and that

97
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.920
their words will become an instrument of transformation and that they will discover

98
00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:20.640
the incredible power in words, that the power of life, the very power of life to birth something

99
00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:27.120
and death, to curse and destroy something. Be it the finances, the relationships, the health, we have

100
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:33.760
the ability to bring life to our bodies, life to our finances, life to our relationships or we have

101
00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:39.520
the ability to curse and bring death and cause them like the fig tree that you curse to shrivel

102
00:09:39.520 --> 00:09:46.480
up and disappear and no longer ever produce fruit. Lord what an amazing power you gave us when you

103
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:53.040
made us in your image. Lord today I ask that the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart

104
00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:59.840
will be pleasing in your sight. Bless this entire conversation in Jesus name.

105
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.560
Amen. So as we look at the four agreements we began in the first couple

106
00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:14.320
weeks we talked about transformation we talked about Romans 12 about not being

107
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:18.480
conformed and we said that's like a Jell-O mold that's like pouring Jell-O

108
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.480
into the Jell-O mold and it takes that shape and then you turn it upside down

109
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.320
you put it on the dish to put it on the table and the mold doesn't have to be

110
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:32.920
there anymore but that Jell-O took on that image and will always bear that

111
00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:40.320
until someone eats it right and we're being told not to allow the the

112
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:47.100
Amplified version of the Bible says the external superficial customs to to be

113
00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:53.200
that which we conform to in other words you got to look at whose mold whose mold

114
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:57.960
have you shaped yourself into what is it that is shaping you what's shaping

115
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:04.400
your decisions what's shaping how you go about your day what what is it that that

116
00:11:04.400 --> 00:11:08.400
if someone said oh I can see what pattern she followed after I can see

117
00:11:08.400 --> 00:11:14.160
what mold that she was poured into what is it that they will see in and so

118
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:21.480
description Romans 12 verse 2 says don't be conformed to the world but but the

119
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:27.520
opposite of that instead of being conformed be transformed not conformed

120
00:11:27.520 --> 00:11:33.960
but transformed and the word transformed the Amplified says changed completely by

121
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:40.760
the entire renewal of your mind all change all transformation becomes

122
00:11:40.760 --> 00:11:47.520
happens when you begin to renew your mind remember re means do again new make

123
00:11:47.520 --> 00:11:53.200
your mind new again go back go back and figure out what are these agreements

124
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.520
that you've had what are these belief systems you're holding on to and be

125
00:11:56.520 --> 00:12:01.640
willing to say you know what is this even true and number one is it true

126
00:12:01.640 --> 00:12:06.080
number two does it even line up with what God feels and thinks and does is

127
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:11.840
insane to me and number three does it even serve me we've got to step back and

128
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.720
look at this mold that we've shaped ourself into and then say wait wait wait

129
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:22.360
whoa I never even thought about my thinking most people go through life and

130
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:28.720
they never think about their thinking and this scriptures telling you to think

131
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.360
about your thinking it's telling you to be completely transformed to be

132
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:39.800
completely changed by renewing your mind having new ideals new attitude and it

133
00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:45.960
says right there so you can prove for yourself the good the acceptable the

134
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:53.480
perfect will of God for you you see there scripture Ephesians says that God

135
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.960
has a good life prepared for you even before the foundation of the earth there

136
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:04.040
is this amazing life that God wants to give you when we're told to make sure

137
00:13:04.040 --> 00:13:10.160
that whatever we speak and agree that it lines up with what is in the kingdom

138
00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:15.160
of God he said whenever two of you agree and and and you you say anything make

139
00:13:15.160 --> 00:13:18.600
sure it lines up with the kingdom of God well in the kingdom of God there is no

140
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:23.720
lack so if you're speaking lack if you're saying I'm broke if you're saying

141
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:28.760
I'm sick and tired if if you're speaking what you're speaking is not in line

142
00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:31.440
with the kingdom you don't have a kingdom mindset and you don't have a

143
00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:37.080
kingdom mouth and so you're actually out of the will of God and you've stepped

144
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:42.920
out of the good life the abundant life the overflowing life but the life of

145
00:13:42.920 --> 00:13:47.120
bringing the kingdom of God the kingdom of heaven on earth the life of enjoying

146
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:52.760
happiness and bliss you see I happen to believe that when God made Adam and Eve

147
00:13:52.760 --> 00:13:57.440
he put him in the garden and he put him in a state of bliss it says they were

148
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:03.720
naked they were unashamed they were tending the garden I believe God wants

149
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:11.520
us to experience bliss now not some ticket later and all that it takes is

150
00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:17.120
beginning to know the secret how is it that I can enjoy perpetual happiness how

151
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:21.960
is it that I can experience bliss the kingdom of God on earth how how is it

152
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:28.160
and it's like taking every moment you see you get out of bliss you get out of

153
00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:33.560
alignment with the kingdom of God when you dwell on the past because now you

154
00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:38.280
dwell on the past it's already gone you can't do anything about it you dwell on

155
00:14:38.280 --> 00:14:44.480
the past and now you've got shame and regret and all of these low frequency

156
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.960
emotions that are getting to get you all bound up in your head and they're gonna

157
00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:52.960
steal your joy and it'll take the kingdom of God right where you're not

158
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.880
experiencing it anymore there's no more bliss the other side of it is to go

159
00:14:56.880 --> 00:15:01.760
future focus so much and now you build in

160
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.200
anxiety and worry and concern and what-if and using your image maker, your

161
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:13.760
imagination and using it to image and create things that are in the negative.

162
00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:18.760
But when you can take each moment and commit to stay in that moment and you

163
00:15:18.760 --> 00:15:24.040
can look at that moment like a container. Think of a giant, I have a giant

164
00:15:24.040 --> 00:15:27.800
measuring cup whenever I make brownies or cookies or anything it's really like

165
00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:33.240
a bowl. It's such a huge measuring cup and I tend to picture each moment like

166
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:40.520
that measuring cup and I get to choose what I put. If I'm making brownies

167
00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:46.240
I get you know this amazing gluten-free dark chocolate you know base to start

168
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:52.120
with and put that in the cup you know and then I get some really nice organic

169
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.760
vanilla to kind of complement the chocolate and I'm wondering if I'm

170
00:15:55.760 --> 00:16:02.480
making you hungry this morning but you know I get to pick all that I put in

171
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:09.600
that cup and that becomes what I eat and scripture says that the power of life

172
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:15.040
and death is in the tongue and we eat the fruit thereof. Well we take this

173
00:16:15.040 --> 00:16:19.840
thing called the present which is a present and I want you to imagine it

174
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:26.280
every single moment in your life imagine that giant measuring cup every

175
00:16:26.280 --> 00:16:32.120
single moment the present which is a present imagine this giant cup this in

176
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:37.640
this giant container this giant bowl whatever works for your brain imagine

177
00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:41.160
that and understand that you get to choose in this moment what you're going

178
00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:46.840
to put in that cup. Now you could put gratitude in there and gratitude is a

179
00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:53.920
frequency that very much connects you with with your creator it very much it's

180
00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:59.120
it's a very high frequency thankfulness praise gratitude anything along that

181
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.600
line you put that in this moment and you're going to be on the frequency up

182
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.119
there with your with your creator you're going to feel connected to God you're

183
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:10.000
going to feel high frequency and remember anything above a 200 when you

184
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.319
look at frequencies of emotions is going to be strengthening your body so you're

185
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.960
going to find health increasing you're going to find your energy increasing

186
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.400
you're going to find the life force increasing in you you're going to find

187
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:27.359
the results just by simply choosing in that moment what you put in that cup you

188
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:32.760
could put in that cup shame which is the lowest frequency that we know of and

189
00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:36.600
you're going to find that frequency is going to affect every part of your body

190
00:17:36.600 --> 00:17:41.320
and now in that moment you're going to see your whole body weakening remember

191
00:17:41.320 --> 00:17:46.120
everything below 200 the body weakens you're going to find the EMFs you put out

192
00:17:46.120 --> 00:17:50.400
the law of attraction is going to be repelling every good thing from you now

193
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:56.320
scripture says that God prepared this good life for you to walk in he said it's

194
00:17:56.320 --> 00:18:02.720
an abundant life it's a life of overflow and you choosing to step into that has

195
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.840
to do with what you choose each moment and as we're talking about the four

196
00:18:06.840 --> 00:18:11.640
agreements we're speaking specifically in the words what words are you going to

197
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:17.240
bring into this moment when you wake up are you thanking God for the day are you

198
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.720
thanking God for new life you know I'm sitting here at my big beautiful desk at

199
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:26.760
home I'm looking out the window and there's a maple tree really bright green

200
00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:32.080
big palm tree next to it and I know that's a weird combination but it's kind

201
00:18:32.080 --> 00:18:36.520
of neat together and the sun is just shining and the leaves are all different

202
00:18:36.520 --> 00:18:40.520
colors of green and and if you just stop for a moment and get in that state

203
00:18:40.520 --> 00:18:44.840
you can just feel God's love just speaking to you and in that moment you

204
00:18:44.840 --> 00:18:51.280
can pour love you can pour gratitude you can pour joy you can choose to make you

205
00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:55.960
can you can choose like scripture says this is the day the Lord has made I will

206
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:04.480
rejoice again look at words re do again joys joy I'm going to re do again the

207
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.960
joy I'm gonna bring back the joy into this moment and you what the next moment

208
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.200
I'm going to rejoice again I'm gonna bring the joy back again and the next

209
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:16.400
moment I'm gonna read you I'm gonna keep reminding myself of the joy and I'm

210
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:20.760
gonna count my blessings and I'm gonna thank God for all the things that he's

211
00:19:20.760 --> 00:19:24.720
given me in this moment we are going to attract more and more and more of that so

212
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:30.080
we have this idea of not being conformed and thinking about our thinking and I've

213
00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:34.840
talked about in the past couple weeks about how our beliefs are formed you're

214
00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:40.880
just walking around with all these beliefs and some of them are no longer

215
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.360
serving you and you're gonna have to have the courage to begin to let go of

216
00:19:45.360 --> 00:19:50.880
those beliefs that are no longer serving you and be willing to embrace new

217
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:57.800
beliefs by trying on a new set of clothes you know Judy's on the on the

218
00:19:57.800 --> 00:20:01.960
line I heard her say hello when she got on the line

219
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.080
line and there's an interesting thing that happens when you step over this line of courage

220
00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:11.680
and you step over this line of transformation and you begin to have new beliefs and you

221
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.960
begin to get a hold of your power and Judy's been focusing on this and she's been getting

222
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.280
a hold of her power and she's watching her words and she's changing the things that she's

223
00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:26.560
saying and her new words are attracting new things to her and literally you're watching

224
00:20:26.560 --> 00:20:32.000
her body transform and what happens as you change your vibration like this, you're going

225
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:35.480
to find that maybe some of the people you used to associate with, they can't be in your

226
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:40.120
presence anymore and you can't be in theirs anymore and there's an energy shift and now

227
00:20:40.120 --> 00:20:42.120
you have to be in a different environment.

228
00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:46.360
You might have to be in a different home, you might have to be around different people

229
00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:50.160
but you're going to have this energetic shift that happens as to who you can even allow

230
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:56.920
in your life and your body's going to respond and things that used to be symptoms which

231
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:01.240
was your body's reflection of what was going on in your subconscious begin to drop away

232
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:06.000
and you begin to stand different and speak different and well a natural reflection of

233
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:13.040
that is you begin to look different and Judy recently went to an image consultant and she's

234
00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:17.120
got a whole new hairdo, she's got a whole new look, those of you that were at the event

235
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:23.160
on Saturday, she just looked cute in her purple shirt and her beautiful skirt and her hairstyle

236
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:27.960
and she just looks like a completely different woman than I saw two years ago and you see

237
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:33.600
this is letting go of the beliefs that no longer serve you and taking on the ones that

238
00:21:33.600 --> 00:21:34.600
you do.

239
00:21:34.600 --> 00:21:40.720
In fact, I went yesterday, yesterday was the first day of the second half of the year and

240
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.840
it's almost like New Year's, it's like a New Year's gift that you get now the second half

241
00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:48.640
of the year, anything that you didn't do the first half, you still get it, any thoughts

242
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:55.160
you need to adjust, anything you want to create, now you get to do it and I felt so strong,

243
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.000
I actually called Doretta, my hairdresser and I said you got to do my hair today and

244
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:04.320
I've never done this to her before and she was like really scrambling, she didn't have

245
00:22:04.320 --> 00:22:07.760
any appointments and she's like what about tomorrow and I'm like no, I just feel it,

246
00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:12.320
I'm supposed to do it today and it was like so strong in me and I just kept pushing and

247
00:22:12.840 --> 00:22:17.080
pushing and she finally, like I've never done this in all the years I've gone to her and

248
00:22:17.080 --> 00:22:20.920
she finally changed some things around and got me in there and I went and I did a completely

249
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:26.400
different look, when you guys see me, my hair is really different and I did this completely

250
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.640
different look and I said I just had this feeling, it's the first day of the second

251
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.640
half of the year and I'm supposed to do it and she says you know that hair is one of

252
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.920
the things we change when we're going through a transformation and I went that's why I'm

253
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:44.920
feeling it so strong, that old hair look didn't work for where I'm going now and my

254
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:50.160
spirit is lighter and I have a lot of joy and I'm just at a higher level of frequency

255
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:55.420
and this hair needed to reflect that and so this is what happens as we're changing because

256
00:22:55.420 --> 00:23:01.200
you see originally when we were young, we didn't think about it but someone, our parents,

257
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:08.200
our clergy, our teachers in school, they hooked our attention and they domesticated

258
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:14.920
us and they taught us how to dream, how to think, how to live and they created this belief

259
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:19.560
system and they domesticated you, they taught you when you were a good girl and when you

260
00:23:19.560 --> 00:23:23.880
were a bad girl, they gave you rewards and punishments until they no longer needed to

261
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:28.080
do it and now you do it to yourself, they don't have to be anywhere nearby, you're giving

262
00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:34.800
yourself your own rewards and punishment but what we saw last week is that a lot of these

263
00:23:34.800 --> 00:23:39.800
do not agree with the word of God, they don't agree with God's will for your life, they're

264
00:23:39.800 --> 00:23:46.320
not even God made, they're man made and so we put these things on ourselves, these beliefs

265
00:23:46.320 --> 00:23:52.560
on ourselves and they have nothing to do with God and yet they shape our life and we blame

266
00:23:52.600 --> 00:23:58.600
God for our circumstances and it has nothing to do with God, it is 100% the thoughts you're

267
00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:05.400
thinking and the belief systems you're holding on to. I can remember just crying so many

268
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:12.400
nights because I had this belief that came out of my dysfunctional childhood and the

269
00:24:12.520 --> 00:24:18.520
opposite, my response to the craziness I saw was that I was going to be the perfect wife

270
00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:24.840
and the perfect mom and the perfect Christian and the perfect homeschool mom, etc. etc.

271
00:24:24.840 --> 00:24:30.960
And so I had this belief system that of course is an impossible standard, drove myself to

272
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.920
exhaustion and symptoms in my body and depression, all these things that I drove myself to had

273
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.960
nothing to do with God and then the funny thing is I look at my prayers, I would go

274
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:47.200
in my bathroom at night and I would sit there and cry and cry and cry and I would ask God

275
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.400
to help me to be able to do these 12 dozen things that no human being should be able

276
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.600
to do at once and here I was just wondering why God wouldn't help me to be able to do

277
00:24:57.600 --> 00:25:00.000
these things. It wasn't God's idea!

278
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.040
first place do you understand? I was conformed by a false belief system. I was living a lie and I'm

279
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:11.040
asking God to bless this and then people go God just doesn't hear me he's not blessing me he's

280
00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:15.840
not answering what I'm asking him and you're asking something that's so out of alignment

281
00:25:15.840 --> 00:25:21.840
with his will for you and the abundant life that he has for you it's your own man-made craziness

282
00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:29.440
self-inflicted nonsense sin right that we are putting on ourselves that has nothing to do

283
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:35.920
with God and yet we're begging God and wondering why God's not answering our prayers well in Mark

284
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:41.600
7 we saw that with the Pharisees they were all stressed out man they were not going to eat food

285
00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:47.520
unless they'd gone through the whole washing ceremonial purification you had you hung your

286
00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:52.880
arms upside you know down and you from the elbows and had to go down I had to do it this many times

287
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:59.760
and yada yada yada and then what happens after you get a belief system it hooks your attention

288
00:25:59.760 --> 00:26:05.200
you come into agreement with it so it becomes yours then the next thing that happens as soon

289
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:12.720
as you agree is you get the judge the internal judge and now this internal judge is speaking

290
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:18.240
all the time and it's judging others harshly in fact the more harshly you're judging yourself

291
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.640
the more harshly you're judging others the more harshly you're judging others the more harshly

292
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:28.640
you're judging yourself and so now you end up judging those around you and here's the religious

293
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:36.400
leaders of the time the Pharisees in Mark 7 in verse 3 it said the Pharisees and all the Jews

294
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:44.000
don't eat unless they wash their hands and we scroll down to verse 8 in Mark 7 verse 8 Jesus

295
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:52.160
says man in the amplified version you have a fine way of rejecting the amplified says thus thwarting

296
00:26:52.960 --> 00:27:00.960
and nullifying doing away with the commandments of God in order to keep your own traditions your

297
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:08.240
own human regulations so here's the leaders of the people the religious leaders that people

298
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:13.680
were following and doing what they said because they were the religious leaders and it had been

299
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:19.840
going on for generations and they're doing what the religious leaders say and following a belief

300
00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:25.120
system that really had nothing to do Jesus is going you're doing your own human deal this is

301
00:27:25.120 --> 00:27:29.120
your deal you're putting on yourself I didn't say you had to be sick and tired and broke

302
00:27:29.840 --> 00:27:36.640
I didn't say that you had to do 552 regulations to try to earn the approval of God I didn't say

303
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:42.560
you had to make your life complicated this has nothing to do with God and yet these are the

304
00:27:42.560 --> 00:27:49.440
religious leaders he's saying man you have a heck of a way of just putting aside what God really does

305
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:57.360
believe for your own human regulations so we make agreement with these things and as soon as you

306
00:27:57.360 --> 00:28:04.400
really believe it it becomes faith it becomes your trust and this becomes your life and so this

307
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:10.640
internal judge then begins to pose sentence on each other and that's what they were doing the

308
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:16.080
pharisees saying hey Jesus how come how come your peeps aren't washing their hands they just go over

309
00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:23.200
and start eating what's up with your peeps and we do the same way you might have been raised in a

310
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:29.120
church or religion that women didn't wear pants I have friends that's the case now they see a woman

311
00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:35.680
in pants and they think that person's less holy and they're setting up a whole system of judgment

312
00:28:35.840 --> 00:28:39.520
there's another church that I'm familiar with that you don't wear any jewelry

313
00:28:40.560 --> 00:28:47.280
and now you're looking at people with a lot of jewelry and I was part of that for a while in

314
00:28:47.280 --> 00:28:52.400
high school and so now you see people wearing jewelry and oh boy you really judging their

315
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:57.360
relationship with God and the quality of their life and all kinds of things or makeup there's

316
00:28:57.360 --> 00:29:03.600
some about drinking there some will see someone have a have a glass of wine and now they're

317
00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:08.960
completely judging the spirituality of that person so isn't it interesting all these agreements and

318
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:18.160
now we set up judgment and we judge others and then Romans 2 2 says this that imposing as judge

319
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:25.520
and passing sentence on another you condemn yourself because you who judge practice the

320
00:29:25.520 --> 00:29:30.720
very same things it's very likely that the thing you're most judging in others is that thing that

321
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:37.360
you're judging in yourself it's that thing that you have fear around in yourself and now you're

322
00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:42.560
judging everyone else well the four agreements says there's just thousands of agreements that

323
00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:49.280
we've made with ourselves with other people with our dream about life with God with society with

324
00:29:49.280 --> 00:29:54.880
our parents with our spouse with our children and the most important he says are the ones you made

325
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:59.920
with yourself the ones that you really think about how you feel and you believe

326
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.280
and how you behave that's what we call our personality that's what we say

327
00:30:05.280 --> 00:30:10.540
that's that's who I am this is who I am and that's when we decide what's

328
00:30:10.540 --> 00:30:15.300
possible and what's impossible what we can do and what we can't do how much

329
00:30:15.300 --> 00:30:21.540
money we'll ever earn how much health we can have how we feel about our body and

330
00:30:21.540 --> 00:30:27.140
we just begin to see these agreements you know it's real funny my brother and

331
00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:32.240
I are real opposite I mean just as opposite as two can come and you know

332
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:39.800
I'm 90% of the time you know the vegan gluten-free you know whatever and you

333
00:30:39.800 --> 00:30:44.600
know drinking alkaline water and taking all my supplements and he is you know

334
00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:50.300
energy drink and doughnuts and chips and he'll joke he'll go the more chemicals

335
00:30:50.300 --> 00:30:55.920
the better like his body he says is designed for chemicals and zero thought

336
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.620
about what he's putting in his body and the level of health that he's gonna walk

337
00:30:59.620 --> 00:31:04.820
in and um and you know he's losing his hair a little bit and I said you know

338
00:31:04.820 --> 00:31:08.880
you don't have to that's just you know some DHT going on in your body you could

339
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:13.740
easily do you know some supplements we've got Prostalon and get that DHT out

340
00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:17.100
of your body and you'd stop losing your hair you don't have to go bald and no

341
00:31:17.100 --> 00:31:23.580
this is the way I am and isn't that the comment is it really the way he is is it

342
00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:28.240
really the way you are do you say that kind of sentence this is the way that I

343
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:33.960
am have you accepted things that are far like the Pharisees far from God's heart

344
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:41.160
he had no desire for eating to be such a burden and he had no desire for so many

345
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.160
regulations and rules and laws you know that's the thing that most people have

346
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.840
trouble with religion they think of it as a bunch of rules and regulations well

347
00:31:48.840 --> 00:31:53.160
that wasn't even God that's not a God God is not about rules and regulations

348
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:57.720
he's about relationship and so what ends up happening is that these

349
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:03.340
agreements if they're fear-based if they're not love based then what ends up

350
00:32:03.340 --> 00:32:08.900
happening is it really becomes energy leaks and we begin to use up our

351
00:32:08.900 --> 00:32:13.820
personal power to maintain these agreements and then we wonder why we're

352
00:32:13.820 --> 00:32:20.100
so exhausted all the time so these four agreements we're still on in the first

353
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.480
we're gonna spend 12 weeks about three weeks in each of the four so this is the

354
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.840
last that we're going to be doing on be impeccable with your word that's the

355
00:32:28.840 --> 00:32:35.120
first agreement be impeccable with your word which of course we defined him means

356
00:32:35.120 --> 00:32:42.780
not Pekka means sin so it means being without sin in your word and and then

357
00:32:42.780 --> 00:32:48.000
this particular book I like the way that he brings out not sinning against

358
00:32:48.140 --> 00:32:53.660
yourself you know I was riding I was riding with someone that was helping my

359
00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:59.700
brother move yesterday in the day before and he was talking about you know he had

360
00:32:59.700 --> 00:33:04.580
a drinking and using problem and so he was separated from his wife and yet he

361
00:33:04.580 --> 00:33:08.620
wanted the marriage to get back together again he had this hope in his heart and

362
00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:13.860
he was staying in a recovery home he wasn't at home and he was saying that

363
00:33:13.860 --> 00:33:17.820
this girl had started kind of hitting on him and saying hey can we go to a movie

364
00:33:17.820 --> 00:33:22.000
together there's a movie theater right near you how about and he was saying you

365
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.320
know I I'm tempted I mean it's nice that she's asking me he said but I I really

366
00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:33.040
don't feel right about it because I'm married and I'm hoping that I can get

367
00:33:33.040 --> 00:33:38.920
back together with my wife and he'd been married 17 years and I said don't violate

368
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:44.640
yourself that's what this means this impeccable don't sin against yourself

369
00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:49.700
not by doing those things which you don't feel good about doing if what

370
00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:53.580
you're doing doesn't make you feel good if it's not a high-frequency emotion

371
00:33:53.580 --> 00:33:58.380
don't do it if it violates your sense of right and wrong don't push through it

372
00:33:58.380 --> 00:34:02.780
and do it anyway and of course he talks about sinning against ourself when

373
00:34:02.780 --> 00:34:08.500
you're talking about your words are you using your words to tear yourself down

374
00:34:08.560 --> 00:34:15.000
do you say things like I'm so stupid I'm so fat I always I never get it right I

375
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.400
mean I can't do this I'm broke you know I'm sick and tired are you

376
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:26.320
violating my are you calling your diseases my cancer my heart disease my

377
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:31.360
diabetes are you violating yourself with your word and I just kept saying to him

378
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:38.239
dude be impeccable with your word don't don't violate yourself don't go against

379
00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:43.860
yourself don't sin against yourself with your word and that's a question you can

380
00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:49.100
put down for thinking about that you can journalists and in what ways am I

381
00:34:49.100 --> 00:34:54.659
sinning against myself what belief systems are am I holding on to that no

382
00:34:54.659 --> 00:35:01.780
longer serve me what words am I speaking what things am I doing I

383
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.240
I go to a job that I just feel I'm supposed to leave but I don't have the courage to leave.

384
00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:09.480
I'm in a relationship that's been dead for 10 years.

385
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:11.080
It's making me sick.

386
00:35:11.080 --> 00:35:16.440
It's causing damage to my children and yet I keep staying because I have a belief system

387
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.280
that this is what I'm supposed to do.

388
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:23.220
What are you doing that you're sinning against yourself and you're violating yourself?

389
00:35:23.220 --> 00:35:27.720
So this talks about being impeccable with your word.

390
00:35:27.720 --> 00:35:32.400
And this is probably, I can see why it's number one because you have to understand

391
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:36.640
your word is the power you have to create your life.

392
00:35:36.640 --> 00:35:40.200
It's through your word that you manifest everything.

393
00:35:40.200 --> 00:35:44.840
Can someone read Proverbs 18 verse 20 please?

394
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:53.120
Proverbs 18 verse 20.

395
00:35:53.120 --> 00:35:55.560
Proverbs was written by Solomon.

396
00:35:55.560 --> 00:35:58.880
He was considered the wisest king in history.

397
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.920
And let's just kind of start with this.

398
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:08.640
Proverbs 18 verse 20 actually and 21 is actually the one that I'm really interested in.

399
00:36:08.640 --> 00:36:09.640
20 and 21.

400
00:36:09.640 --> 00:36:24.640
A man's body shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth and with the ingredients

401
00:36:24.640 --> 00:36:25.640
of his book shall he be filled.

402
00:36:25.640 --> 00:36:26.640
Not the life or in the power of the tongue.

403
00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:29.480
And they that want it shall eat the fruit thereof.

404
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:30.480
Thank you.

405
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:31.480
Who is that that just read that?

406
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:32.480
Is that Candace?

407
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:33.480
Yeah.

408
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:34.480
Okay.

409
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:35.480
Thank you.

410
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.480
They're just kids that are originally made.

411
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:37.480
Thank you.

412
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:41.240
Sometimes I'm not sure if your voice is as nice for me to know.

413
00:36:41.240 --> 00:36:46.840
So here he says that a man's self is filled with the fruit of his mouth.

414
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:53.440
You need to understand your tongue, your mouth, your words produce fruit.

415
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:54.440
Understand that.

416
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:56.400
The results in your life.

417
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.120
Think of the results as fruit.

418
00:36:58.120 --> 00:37:01.160
You've got a tree and it starts with a seed.

419
00:37:01.160 --> 00:37:06.160
It grows into a full tree and the culmination in the right season usually sometime around

420
00:37:06.160 --> 00:37:09.240
summer if it's persimmons early fall.

421
00:37:09.240 --> 00:37:15.400
You get these fruit that grow all over the tree and that's why you grew it and now you

422
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:18.720
get to go out and you get to eat this fruit.

423
00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:20.640
Well our life has a lot of fruit.

424
00:37:20.640 --> 00:37:25.040
It has financial fruit, relational fruit, spiritual fruit, peace fruit.

425
00:37:25.040 --> 00:37:28.440
It has fruit and so you stop and you look at the fruit in your life.

426
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:30.800
How's your financial fruit?

427
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.320
How's your relationship fruit?

428
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:33.920
How's your health fruit?

429
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:38.000
You start looking at the fruit of your life and scripture's real clear on this.

430
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:45.040
If the fruit has bugs or brown spots or it's diseased or there was no fruit, scripture's

431
00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:51.280
really clear that when you see the fruit you need to look if there's a problem you need

432
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:53.840
to look at the root.

433
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.560
It's not the fruit that's the problem.

434
00:37:56.560 --> 00:38:01.600
The disease, the spots, the bugs did not originate in the fruit.

435
00:38:01.600 --> 00:38:07.840
They originated in the root and the root is your thoughts, your emotions and your words

436
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:13.440
and so here it says that your self is filled with the fruit of your mouth.

437
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:20.840
Your mouth produces fruit and the Amplified says to make it plain, the consequence of

438
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:23.400
your words.

439
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:25.000
Words have consequences.

440
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:26.160
Words have fruit.

441
00:38:26.160 --> 00:38:34.720
Words produce results and it goes on to say he must be satisfied whether good or evil.

442
00:38:34.720 --> 00:38:35.720
So you know what?

443
00:38:35.720 --> 00:38:39.200
If you're not liking the consequences of your word, you need to be satisfied because you

444
00:38:39.200 --> 00:38:40.200
spoke them.

445
00:38:40.200 --> 00:38:41.400
You have the choice.

446
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:44.120
No one makes you speak any words.

447
00:38:44.120 --> 00:38:45.920
This is your conscious control.

448
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:50.280
You're either going to make a decision to bridle your tongue or to just let it flap

449
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:56.960
and say whatever it wants and it says in verse 21, death.

450
00:38:56.960 --> 00:39:01.280
Think of death, destruction, withering, no life, right?

451
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.480
No vitality, death or life.

452
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:11.320
Think of the opposite, joy, peace, fruit, death and life are where?

453
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:13.840
Where does it say death and life are in the power?

454
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:14.840
There's that word power.

455
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:21.560
Death and life are in the power of what?

456
00:39:21.560 --> 00:39:31.160
Death and life, your choice, are in the power of the tongue.

457
00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:34.400
There's power in your tongue.

458
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:39.320
Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they who indulge in it, you get to indulge

459
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:41.140
in your tongue.

460
00:39:41.140 --> 00:39:42.920
You're going to eat the fruit of it.

461
00:39:43.040 --> 00:39:46.280
If you don't like the fruit, look at the root.

462
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:51.200
So let's go through the scripture and really look at an aspect of words.

463
00:39:51.200 --> 00:39:55.880
I want to show you how this began all the way from creation as part of how we're made

464
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:00.000
in the image of our creator and I want to take you through a number.

465
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.280
of scriptural examples to really hone this in deep. I've given you, I've laid the

466
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.760
foundation, you understand where I'm going with this, now let's see what the

467
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:12.960
Word of God says about it. So turn to Genesis, right the very beginning, Genesis

468
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:19.240
1, 1. We're going to start, just open your Bible on the left side and you know the

469
00:40:19.240 --> 00:40:24.560
very first chapter, the first verse, this is easy to find and it starts with in

470
00:40:24.560 --> 00:40:29.160
the beginning, so we're starting right at the very beginning. There's a law when

471
00:40:29.160 --> 00:40:32.720
you study scripture, the law of first mention, so if you can find when things

472
00:40:32.720 --> 00:40:36.200
are first mentioned, you can get a bigger understanding of whatever that thing it

473
00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:39.880
is that you're looking for. So if you want to understand something, look at the

474
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:44.560
first time it's mentioned in scripture and that will give you some insight. So

475
00:40:44.560 --> 00:40:51.640
in this case, in the beginning, in verse 1, God prepared, formed, fashioned, created the

476
00:40:51.640 --> 00:40:56.920
heavens and earth. It says that the earth was without form, it was just before it

477
00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:02.040
was without form, it was an empty waste. I want you to circle that in your Bible,

478
00:41:02.040 --> 00:41:08.760
without form. This is the stuff that makes up life. In other words, the earth

479
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:13.960
consisted of this, it's now called the matrix or the divine matrix, it

480
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:20.560
contained a substance, but it was without form. The substance had not been

481
00:41:20.560 --> 00:41:28.040
manifested into a form, a tangible thing that we could feel, touch, see. Right now

482
00:41:28.040 --> 00:41:33.880
it was still just the matrix, it was just still this stuff. We now know that all

483
00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:42.560
the empty space in the solar system and beyond, all of that space is not

484
00:41:42.560 --> 00:41:48.680
actually empty. We now know it's all interconnected. We know that by a number

485
00:41:48.680 --> 00:41:53.080
of experiments and it's this substance, it's real, it's just it's

486
00:41:53.080 --> 00:41:57.600
substance. And so here you have the earth when it was still substance, it was an

487
00:41:57.600 --> 00:42:03.360
empty waste, there was no light, darkness was upon it in the great deep, but then

488
00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:09.600
you see the Spirit of God was moving. So you've got two things going on. You've

489
00:42:09.600 --> 00:42:16.480
got this substance, this divine matrix, and then you've got the Spirit, the life

490
00:42:16.520 --> 00:42:22.520
force, the very Spirit that brings nothing into something. And you've got

491
00:42:22.520 --> 00:42:28.120
these two things just hovering. What's gonna make it turn into something? You've

492
00:42:28.120 --> 00:42:34.320
got substance, I would call that potential. Potential to be shaped in any

493
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:38.720
direction. This is true of your life. Watch how creation occurred and

494
00:42:38.720 --> 00:42:43.840
then understand how to be a creator in your own life. You've got substance all

495
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:48.840
around you and then the Spirit of God is moving. The Spirit of God is moving

496
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:52.920
in you, through you, upon you. So you've got substance and you've got the Spirit

497
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:56.760
of God. Now what's going to be formed? What's going to bring form? It says the

498
00:42:56.760 --> 00:43:02.560
Spirit of God was hovering, brooding. I would say over your substance, your

499
00:43:02.560 --> 00:43:09.520
unformed substance, I would say that your dreams are unformed substance. Your

500
00:43:09.520 --> 00:43:15.280
thoughts are unformed substance. Your future finances are unformed

501
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:21.680
substances. And so the Spirit of God is just hovering and brooding over this.

502
00:43:21.680 --> 00:43:31.640
And then it says in verse 3, God said. Highlight said or circle said. God said.

503
00:43:31.640 --> 00:43:38.160
How did creation move from formless darkness void and turn into

504
00:43:38.160 --> 00:43:47.280
something tangible that we could see, feel, hear, touch? God said. God spoke. Let

505
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:54.800
there be light and there was light. How did light come about? How did light, how

506
00:43:54.800 --> 00:44:00.240
did we go from darkness and no form, empty waste, to light? How? What would

507
00:44:00.240 --> 00:44:09.920
cause light to happen? Yep, God's Word. He spoke and then God saw the light was good.

508
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:18.680
He approved it and he then named it. You see, after he spoke it, now we got to

509
00:44:18.680 --> 00:44:25.720
categorize it. Verse 5, nomenclature, giving names to. Now God called. He gave

510
00:44:25.720 --> 00:44:31.680
it a name. The way you take dominion over your substance, you speak it and

511
00:44:31.680 --> 00:44:37.920
then you name it. And God called the light day and the darkness he called

512
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:43.960
night. And there was evening and morning one day. And then you see in verse 6, he

513
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:51.760
does it again. And God said, let the firmament, the expanse of the sky, in the

514
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:56.840
midst of the waters, let it be separated from the waters below. Let the waters

515
00:44:56.840 --> 00:45:01.960
above and the waters below be separated.

516
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:10.400
See this whole process going all the way through everything from creating the animals to the stars, the fish, all of that, the trees, the vegetation.

517
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:14.800
You get to verse 26 on the highest of God's creation.

518
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.520
God said, how does this happen again?

519
00:45:17.520 --> 00:45:28.840
God said, circle that in verse 26, let us, the Amplified says, Father, Son and Holy Spirit make mankind in our image.

520
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:32.400
So all of creation is made until we get to mankind.

521
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:34.680
Now there's a whole new twist on it.

522
00:45:34.680 --> 00:45:38.440
Man is made in God's image.

523
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:48.280
You are made in God's image after his likeness and part of being made in God's image.

524
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:52.240
It says, let them have complete authority.

525
00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:56.040
Let them have dominion over the earth.

526
00:45:56.040 --> 00:46:02.320
You see, now you are given, you've got this substance and there's lots more besides what God made.

527
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.800
That's why Jesus said, greater things will you do than I do.

528
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:06.400
There's all this substance.

529
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:08.000
There's all this potential.

530
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:09.760
The world is filled.

531
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:16.840
Our earth is filled with potential, potential for resources, potential for love, potential for joy.

532
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:21.480
There's just all this potential.

533
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:23.520
And you're given dominion.

534
00:46:23.520 --> 00:46:28.040
You're given authority to rule over your potential.

535
00:46:28.040 --> 00:46:35.200
You get to do or not do whatever you want with your void, formless substance.

536
00:46:35.200 --> 00:46:39.640
It's just the substance of the earth that you get to speak into.

537
00:46:39.640 --> 00:46:41.240
You get to name.

538
00:46:41.240 --> 00:46:44.800
You get to take dominion of and create what you want.

539
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:56.400
If your belief system is such that you want to create poverty or loneliness or lack or you want to create joy and bliss and peace and love and resources, it's up to you.

540
00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:58.080
It's your potential.

541
00:46:58.080 --> 00:47:01.080
No one's going to do it for you.

542
00:47:01.080 --> 00:47:02.840
This is not waiting on God.

543
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:03.800
God's waiting on you.

544
00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:05.560
He says, let me show you how this works.

545
00:47:05.560 --> 00:47:07.600
I made you in my image.

546
00:47:07.600 --> 00:47:09.120
I put you in the garden.

547
00:47:09.120 --> 00:47:10.840
I will provide for you.

548
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:14.200
I'll give you provision, but I'm going to teach you how this works.

549
00:47:14.200 --> 00:47:17.160
I'm going to give you dominion over it now.

550
00:47:17.160 --> 00:47:19.600
The only thing you don't have dominion over is other people.

551
00:47:19.600 --> 00:47:28.320
Each person has dominion over himself, but what you have dominion over is all that you see on the earth and all the unformed substance.

552
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:34.000
And so verse 27, God creates man in his image and the image and likeness of God.

553
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.600
And now you see the final step to it.

554
00:47:36.600 --> 00:47:38.760
He called it.

555
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:39.920
He named it.

556
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:41.640
He took dominion over it.

557
00:47:41.640 --> 00:47:44.840
And then verse 28, here's the final step.

558
00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:49.120
And God blessed them.

559
00:47:49.120 --> 00:47:55.400
You're going to see the pattern that the creator used to create.

560
00:47:55.400 --> 00:48:00.160
And then he made you to be a co-creator using the same pattern.

561
00:48:00.160 --> 00:48:03.160
And the final stage of this pattern is blessing.

562
00:48:03.160 --> 00:48:05.000
Now he speaks blessing over it.

563
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:09.080
He takes the substance and he defines it, he names it, and now he blesses it.

564
00:48:09.080 --> 00:48:11.560
And now he says, be fruitful.

565
00:48:11.560 --> 00:48:15.880
Multiply, fill the earth, subdue it.

566
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:22.800
The Amplified says using all its vast resources in the service of God and man.

567
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:24.520
There's your potential.

568
00:48:24.520 --> 00:48:32.560
Vast resources, unlimited resources that you get to use for service of God and man.

569
00:48:32.560 --> 00:48:37.440
Have dominion over it, over every part of it.

570
00:48:37.520 --> 00:48:43.480
And so now he's created Adam, and now he wants Adam as a co-creator to experience the same

571
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:44.480
thing.

572
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:50.480
So if you turn the page to Genesis chapter 2, you see that now out of the ground the

573
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:55.480
Lord God formed every wild beast, every living creature, every bird of the air.

574
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:59.160
And now he brings all of them to Adam.

575
00:48:59.160 --> 00:49:05.520
He's going to involve Adam in creation because Adam needs to understand he's a co-creator.

576
00:49:05.600 --> 00:49:08.480
Adam needs to understand who he is, whose he is.

577
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.200
Adam needs to understand the authority.

578
00:49:11.200 --> 00:49:13.560
Adam needs to understand the power of his tongue.

579
00:49:13.560 --> 00:49:15.200
So God's going to involve him.

580
00:49:15.200 --> 00:49:18.200
He's going to say, Adam, come over here.

581
00:49:18.200 --> 00:49:20.640
And now he says he brings them to Adam.

582
00:49:20.640 --> 00:49:22.600
God didn't name all the animals.

583
00:49:22.600 --> 00:49:26.120
God didn't name all the creatures, all the birds, all the fish.

584
00:49:26.120 --> 00:49:30.200
He lets Adam, the first man, do that.

585
00:49:30.200 --> 00:49:34.720
And he says he brought them to Adam to see what he would call them.

586
00:49:34.720 --> 00:49:42.320
And whatever Adam called every living creature, that was his name.

587
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:47.360
You know, I homeschooled my kids all the way through until they went to college.

588
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:52.920
And one of the things I would teach them is you can have mastery of any subject, son,

589
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:53.920
daughter.

590
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:58.080
You can have mastery over mathematics, over physics, over chemistry.

591
00:49:58.080 --> 00:50:00.080
You can have mastery over any subject.

592
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.840
let me tell you the first step to mastery is understand the language

593
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:09.600
understand the vocabulary of that which you want mastery over

594
00:50:09.600 --> 00:50:13.920
the secret to mastery is understanding the vocabulary

595
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.840
do you want a faith-filled life understand the vocabulary of faith faith

596
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:22.880
has a vocabulary so does fear do you want to have financial freedom

597
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:28.480
and financial abundance you need to understand the vocabulary

598
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:32.720
do you think that wealthy people have a different vocabulary

599
00:50:32.720 --> 00:50:36.400
than uh than people that don't have anything

600
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:40.000
people that are are broke and homeless do you think there's a different

601
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.880
vocabulary

602
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:46.720
do you think they use the same words or do you think they have a different

603
00:50:46.720 --> 00:50:52.240
vocabulary what are your thoughts

604
00:50:52.240 --> 00:50:59.200
i think they're totally different they're totally different faith has a

605
00:50:59.200 --> 00:51:04.240
vocabulary fear has a vocabulary love has a vocabulary fear has a

606
00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:09.040
vocabulary understand that wealth has a vocabulary poverty has a

607
00:51:09.040 --> 00:51:13.840
vocabulary health has a vocabulary sickness and

608
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.520
dis-ease have a different vocabulary so the

609
00:51:17.520 --> 00:51:21.680
first step to mastery of any area in your life

610
00:51:21.680 --> 00:51:27.920
is looking at the vocabulary and so in verse 29 we see adam does it

611
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:33.120
he gives names to everything and he begins to have dominion

612
00:51:33.120 --> 00:51:38.880
over language gives dominion well just like god now he's going to

613
00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:42.320
teach the final step to man he's going to teach man

614
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:46.640
look i need to teach you about blessings and i need to teach you about

615
00:51:46.640 --> 00:51:50.240
curses the power of word you can use to bless

616
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:53.520
the power of the word you can use to curse we've

617
00:51:53.520 --> 00:51:59.200
lost this we do not understand how to speak blessings over ourself

618
00:51:59.200 --> 00:52:02.640
we don't understand how to speak blessings over our future

619
00:52:02.640 --> 00:52:07.360
seed unborn and born we don't understand how to speak blessings over

620
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:12.880
our children we've completely lost touch with the power of blessings and

621
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:17.360
curses so turn to genesis chapter 12 we're

622
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:22.160
staying in genesis for a few minutes as you see the origin of how god

623
00:52:22.160 --> 00:52:26.720
creates how he takes dominion and how he makes us co-creator and how he helps us

624
00:52:26.720 --> 00:52:32.400
have dominion so turn to genesis chapter 12

625
00:52:32.560 --> 00:52:41.760
and verse 3 could someone read genesis chapter 12 verse 3

626
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:58.960
i will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you i will curse

627
00:52:59.040 --> 00:53:03.360
and all people on earth will be blessed through you

628
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:07.120
interesting i will bless those who bless you

629
00:53:07.120 --> 00:53:11.680
the amplified says who confer prosperity or happiness upon you

630
00:53:11.680 --> 00:53:16.720
and i'll curse those who curses you or uses insolent language towards you

631
00:53:16.720 --> 00:53:23.440
and you will all through you all the families and kindred of the

632
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:30.640
earth will be blessed and by you they will bless themselves

633
00:53:30.640 --> 00:53:34.080
i want you to understand the power of blessing

634
00:53:34.080 --> 00:53:38.560
let's look at an example you see back then in this culture

635
00:53:38.560 --> 00:53:43.200
um you know that would be i don't know almost 5,000 years ago in this particular

636
00:53:43.200 --> 00:53:45.600
culture they understood the power of it turn

637
00:53:45.600 --> 00:53:49.280
a little bit forward and now go to genesis 27

638
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:53.280
i'm going to show you how much power is in blessings and curses

639
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.520
genesis chapter 27

640
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:01.280
say amen when you're there

641
00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:09.040
genesis chapter 27 say amen when you get there

642
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:19.760
okay so genesis 27 in beginning in verse 26

643
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:24.880
we see this played out we see isaac one of the patriarchs

644
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:32.080
about to die he is old and the culture of that time

645
00:54:32.080 --> 00:54:35.760
the understanding of blessing and curses is that he's got something to do before

646
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:40.320
he goes to the other side he's got to bless his children and that

647
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:45.200
will determine their future wow

648
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:52.000
so 26 the father isaac says come near me and kiss me

649
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:58.880
my son now there's a great swindle happening here if you go back and

650
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:02.080
read all of chapter

651
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.840
27 for time's sake I'm gonna tell you there's a great swindle and

652
00:55:05.040 --> 00:55:07.320
One of them become pretends

653
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:14.080
Esau pretends to be his brother Isaac because he wants to steal Isaac's blessing

654
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:18.560
Well, you know, you don't steal something that doesn't work. You don't steal something that's of no value

655
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:26.600
Nobody goes looking down the street finding a way to steal a smashed-up tin can they might pick it up for redemption

656
00:55:26.600 --> 00:55:29.600
But they don't have to steal it. They don't break into someone's house

657
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:32.000
to steal an aluminum can

658
00:55:33.040 --> 00:55:35.960
We don't try to steal something that doesn't have any value

659
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:41.880
You see they understood the greatest thing they could have would be a blessing, especially a father's blessing

660
00:55:43.160 --> 00:55:49.600
Some of you fathers haven't discovered the art of blessing your children and the legacy that that can leave

661
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:56.240
Some of you mothers have not discovered how to give a mother's blessing to their children

662
00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:58.480
And you could still do that

663
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:03.880
well, they understood it here so much so that the mother and and

664
00:56:04.600 --> 00:56:06.040
Esau

665
00:56:06.040 --> 00:56:09.760
Confer together how they can seal Isaac's blessing

666
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:13.800
So he comes near and Isaac was of the land

667
00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:15.800
he was a hunter and

668
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:21.640
so he dressed him up in the furs and the smell of the animal and the smell of the

669
00:56:22.040 --> 00:56:26.560
Outdoors because Esau was a mama's boy. He liked to be inside the house

670
00:56:26.560 --> 00:56:29.400
He liked to be cooking and doing domestic things in there

671
00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:34.840
He didn't smell like his brother and the dad was gonna pick this up because the dad was old and the dad was blind

672
00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:41.480
The dad could not see the boys. And so he comes near he kisses him

673
00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:44.560
Isaac smells the clothing and realizes

674
00:56:45.160 --> 00:56:50.200
Okay, this is this is him and he blesses him

675
00:56:50.200 --> 00:56:54.760
He says the son the scent of my son is as the odor of the field

676
00:56:54.880 --> 00:57:02.740
which the Lord has blessed and may God give you the dew of the heavens and the fatness of the earth and the

677
00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:08.720
Abundance of grain and new wine. Look he's speaking abundance over his son

678
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:11.560
He's speaking of fatness of the earth

679
00:57:11.600 --> 00:57:18.480
he's speaking of abundance of grain abundance of wine and he says let people serve you and

680
00:57:19.040 --> 00:57:20.480
Nations bow down to you

681
00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:28.400
He's blessing him with authority and dominion and be master over your brothers and let your brother's sons bow down to you

682
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:33.760
He was the oldest this was the culture. Let everyone be cursed who curses you and

683
00:57:34.200 --> 00:57:40.460
Favored with blessings who blesses you and so as soon as Isaac had finished blessing

684
00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:42.880
Jacob

685
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:45.420
Jacob was the swindler pretending to be his brother

686
00:57:46.340 --> 00:57:52.800
Jacob was scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father then Esau the one that his father loved

687
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:55.800
comes in from his hunting and

688
00:57:56.280 --> 00:58:01.200
Esau had prepared this food for his father and he walks in from his kill

689
00:58:01.200 --> 00:58:08.520
He didn't made him the soup and and he says come my father arise eat your his son's game

690
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:11.440
That you may bless me

691
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:14.800
Isaac his father said to him. Who are you?

692
00:58:15.600 --> 00:58:20.280
he replied I'm your son your firstborn I'm Esau and

693
00:58:21.720 --> 00:58:24.920
Isaac trembles and shakes violently

694
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:29.520
You don't think he understood the power of a blessing what caused him to tremble and shake violently

695
00:58:29.720 --> 00:58:35.700
He knew he had spoken and once the word was out. You can't put it back in once the blessings out

696
00:58:35.700 --> 00:58:38.200
You can't put it back in once the curse is out

697
00:58:38.200 --> 00:58:44.120
It's very difficult to cancel it. And so Isaac realizes what's happened

698
00:58:44.160 --> 00:58:47.440
He trembles he shakes violently and he says who?

699
00:58:48.520 --> 00:58:54.240
Where is he is hunted game and brought it to me and I ate of it before you came and I blessed him

700
00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:59.520
Yes, and he shall be blessed and when Esau hears the words of his father

701
00:58:59.520 --> 00:59:03.080
He cries Esau understands the power of a blessing

702
00:59:03.560 --> 00:59:10.600
He cries out with a great and bitter cry and says to his father bless me also. Oh my father

703
00:59:10.600 --> 00:59:12.600
I wonder how many

704
00:59:12.720 --> 00:59:14.480
boys

705
00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:18.480
Spending a whole life who never got their father's blessing and they're still

706
00:59:19.040 --> 00:59:23.080
they're still not walking in their authority and their abundance because

707
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:30.080
They didn't have that and they didn't need they didn't learn how to bless themselves. They didn't know what to do to reverse this and so

708
00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:32.200
Esau

709
00:59:32.200 --> 00:59:35.440
Replied isn't he rightly named Jacob?

710
00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:43.000
The supplanter for he has supplanted me two times. He took away my birthright now. He's taken away my

711
00:59:43.640 --> 00:59:47.720
Blessing have you not still a blessing reserved for me?

712
00:59:48.880 --> 00:59:54.880
Isaac understood the power of blessing Isaac answered Esau and said I've made Jacob your Lord and master

713
00:59:54.880 --> 01:00:00.120
I've given all his brethren to him as servants. I've given him corn and new wheat

714
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.320
I've sustained and what else can I give you I've already blessed everything I can think of and now

715
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:10.640
Esau is just holding on to his dad's arms and said do you not even have one blessing for me my father

716
01:00:10.640 --> 01:00:14.880
Please will you just not bless me, please? Oh my father and

717
01:00:15.600 --> 01:00:18.880
Esau lifts up. He can't control his voice. He's crying

718
01:00:19.520 --> 01:00:26.240
This is how serious they understood the power of blessing the father the grown man now is shaking

719
01:00:26.800 --> 01:00:28.960
convulsing and crying and

720
01:00:29.080 --> 01:00:30.080
and

721
01:00:30.080 --> 01:00:33.480
Isaac his father answers and says your blessing and dwelling

722
01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:39.160
Shall come from the fruitfulness of the earth and from the dew of the heavens above by your sword

723
01:00:39.160 --> 01:00:41.160
You're gonna live and serve your brother

724
01:00:41.680 --> 01:00:47.920
But the time will come when you will grow and break loose and you'll tear his yoke from your neck

725
01:00:48.160 --> 01:00:52.680
And from that day a new hatred was born the seed of hatred was born

726
01:00:53.080 --> 01:00:57.720
Esau hated Jacob because of that blessing which his father blessed him

727
01:00:58.040 --> 01:01:03.080
Esau said in his heart as soon as the days of mourning for my father are near when he was gone

728
01:01:03.080 --> 01:01:05.920
I'm gonna kill my brother Jacob and

729
01:01:06.680 --> 01:01:11.680
These words of Esau her elder son were repeated to mom Rebecca

730
01:01:11.680 --> 01:01:17.360
And she says Jacob to her younger son and says look Esau's coming to to kill you

731
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:22.040
You better get the heck out of here. And so you see that whole story that happens there

732
01:01:22.040 --> 01:01:28.280
My point in bringing this is man. Ah, I don't see that in my culture

733
01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:30.280
I don't know if you see that in yours

734
01:01:30.680 --> 01:01:31.760
that a

735
01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:39.120
Son would do anything to have his father's blessing and a father would take his blessing so seriously that he would cry when he gave

736
01:01:39.120 --> 01:01:40.960
it wrong

737
01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:47.960
Go forward in in scripture and go now to numbers chapter 22 numbers chapter

738
01:01:48.200 --> 01:01:49.200
22

739
01:01:49.200 --> 01:01:52.120
I'm going to show you this played out time and time again

740
01:01:52.240 --> 01:01:59.520
And I'm gonna ask you to really consider what your blessing and what you're cursing how you're blessing yourself

741
01:01:59.520 --> 01:02:05.640
How you're cursing yourself how you're blessing the next generation how you're cursing the next generation

742
01:02:05.640 --> 01:02:13.080
I'm gonna ask you to be so impeccable with your word that you begin to consider the power of blessing and curses and maybe

743
01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:16.040
Restore this again into your life

744
01:02:16.040 --> 01:02:21.680
I told you about a book by Arthur Burke called blessing your spirit if you've not yet researched that

745
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:26.280
learn to bless your own spirit learn the power of

746
01:02:27.720 --> 01:02:31.800
Blessing and curses. Okay. Say amen if you're at numbers 22

747
01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:40.760
Okay, can you read that? Thank you. Can you read that for me? Oh

748
01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:44.200
I'm sorry. We're at verse

749
01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:48.200
Five and

750
01:02:48.200 --> 01:02:55.680
Just start reading down three four verses and we'll switch readers. I want to read this whole story in numbers 22 starting in verse 5

751
01:02:55.680 --> 01:02:57.680
Numbers 22 and 5

752
01:03:09.200 --> 01:03:11.200
Numbers 22 and 5

753
01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:27.960
Behold there is a people

754
01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:29.960
I

755
01:03:55.160 --> 01:03:57.160
Okay, so you've got a king and

756
01:03:58.480 --> 01:04:05.560
he's heard about how powerful the Israelites that have come out of Egypt and so he goes to Balaam a

757
01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:11.000
Prophet a false prophet and he goes to him and he says get Balaam

758
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:16.760
And he says come I beg you will you curse these people for me because they're too powerful

759
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:22.720
He understands the power of curses and the only way he's going to overcome these people is maybe he can have them cursed

760
01:04:22.920 --> 01:04:25.760
So come and curse these people. These people are too powerful

761
01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:30.200
Maybe I'll be able to defeat them drive them out of my land because I know

762
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:35.720
That he whom you bless is blessed and he whom you curse is cursed

763
01:04:35.720 --> 01:04:40.160
And so it says in verse 7 the elders of Moab and of Midian

764
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:47.280
departed with the rewards of foretelling in their hands and they come to Balaam and they tell him the words of King Balak and

765
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:49.560
in verse 8

766
01:04:49.600 --> 01:04:56.360
He says to him lodge here tonight and I'll bring you the word as the Lord may speak to me and

767
01:04:56.800 --> 01:04:59.920
So there the princes of Moab are all gathered with Balaam

768
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.260
That night. So so they're bringing Balaam. They're basically paying a profit

769
01:05:04.380 --> 01:05:07.260
Look, I want you to come curse these people and he says, okay

770
01:05:07.260 --> 01:05:10.720
I'll bring you the word as the Lord speaks it to me and in verse 9

771
01:05:11.380 --> 01:05:15.760
God speaks to Balaam and says what men are these with you?

772
01:05:16.860 --> 01:05:21.820
Balaam says to God I've got Balaam the son of Zippor the king of Moab has sent me

773
01:05:22.020 --> 01:05:28.220
Saying behold the people who came out of Egypt cover the face of the earth come now curse them for me

774
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:32.280
Perhaps I'll be able to fight against them and drive them out and

775
01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:37.100
Verse 12. God says to Balaam. You'll not go with them

776
01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:43.960
You will not curse the people for these people are blessed. So God's given them totally different instructions

777
01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:46.480
No, there's not going to be any cursing going on here

778
01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:50.320
Verse 13 Balaam rises up in the morning

779
01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:56.800
He says to the princes of Balaam go back to your land. The Lord refuses to permit me to go with you

780
01:05:57.540 --> 01:06:03.040
So the princes of Moab they go back to King Balaam and they say look Balaam's refusing to come with us

781
01:06:03.700 --> 01:06:07.740
Balaam's very persistent. He's serious about this land

782
01:06:07.940 --> 01:06:14.260
so he sends the princes again even more of them even more honorable than the first ones and

783
01:06:14.740 --> 01:06:20.100
They go back to Balaam and they say look thus says Balaam son of Zippor

784
01:06:20.100 --> 01:06:23.380
I beg you let nothing hinder you from coming to me and

785
01:06:24.240 --> 01:06:29.360
Now we're gonna make the up the ante if you will right he says look I'll promote you

786
01:06:29.360 --> 01:06:33.040
Let's let's see if I can appeal to your flesh. Let's get can I get to your ego?

787
01:06:33.040 --> 01:06:35.320
Can I get to your pride because I need your power

788
01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:42.240
I know the power of your tongue and I need your help. So here's the deal in verse 17. I'll promote you to great honor

789
01:06:42.760 --> 01:06:48.320
I'll do whatever you tell me just come I beg you curse these people now

790
01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:54.880
Here's the king of a great land who has tremendous amount of wealth and tremendous amount of power

791
01:06:55.100 --> 01:06:59.220
I'm asking you why would he offer so much?

792
01:07:00.180 --> 01:07:05.920
For blessings or curses if he did not have seen the fruit or understand the value

793
01:07:06.540 --> 01:07:10.060
See, I don't think we understand the value of blessing and curses

794
01:07:10.660 --> 01:07:14.140
so Balaam answers the servants of Balak

795
01:07:15.080 --> 01:07:21.880
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold I still can't go beyond the word of the Lord my God

796
01:07:21.880 --> 01:07:27.960
I can't do less or more. It doesn't matter. I can't be bribed. He says now therefore I pray you

797
01:07:28.560 --> 01:07:35.760
Terry here again tonight that I may know what more the Lord will say to me. He's like I want the gold and silver

798
01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:38.900
So let me ask again. Let me go back to God and see if I can do it

799
01:07:38.900 --> 01:07:43.160
Okay, the last answer was no, but you know now that you've offered me silver and gold

800
01:07:43.160 --> 01:07:47.040
We're speaking a different language. Maybe God will change his mind, right? This is comical and

801
01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:54.260
So we get over to verse 20 and God comes to Balaam that night and says to him

802
01:07:54.460 --> 01:07:58.960
If the men come to call you rise up and go with them, but still

803
01:07:59.720 --> 01:08:04.040
Only what I tell you may you do so Balaam gets up in the morning

804
01:08:04.040 --> 01:08:06.880
He saddles his donkey goes with the princess of Moab

805
01:08:07.400 --> 01:08:12.740
Now God's and anger is kindled because he's going against the Word of God, right?

806
01:08:13.400 --> 01:08:16.439
And the angel the Lord stands in the way is

807
01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:22.880
riding his donkey and the and the angels tried to prevent him in verse 23 the donkey sees the angel and

808
01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:28.319
And and he can't but the donkey see it and they they don't want to go

809
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:33.000
Because the sword is drawn right there and the donkey tries to avoid this and go the other direction

810
01:08:33.240 --> 01:08:35.880
And now Balaam starts beating the donkey

811
01:08:36.200 --> 01:08:39.960
Trying to make the donkey to go to see the donkey was seeing supernaturally

812
01:08:39.960 --> 01:08:45.000
He was not because he was seeing gold and silver. He he wasn't seeing the things of the Lord anymore

813
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:47.760
He wasn't seeing the angel. He wasn't seeing any of it

814
01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:51.160
He was seeing dollars and cents and he was driven by money

815
01:08:51.160 --> 01:08:56.240
and so the angel the Lord's standing in in the path right there in 24 and

816
01:08:56.800 --> 01:08:59.880
It's gonna get serious the donkey actually

817
01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:08.080
you know lays down crushes Balaam's foot against it and Balaam starts beating the donkey and and the story goes on and on and

818
01:09:08.080 --> 01:09:12.120
He tries to avoid going every which way this donkey ain't going toward this big angel

819
01:09:12.120 --> 01:09:16.120
It's probably a 17-foot angel with a sword this donkey ain't having nothing to do with it

820
01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:23.960
He's seeing supernaturally Balaam is getting angry and beating the crud out of the donkey with his staff and now the Lord

821
01:09:24.760 --> 01:09:30.439
Opens the mouth of the donkey. He's not gonna speak through Balaam because Balaam has sold out for cash

822
01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:35.920
He's gonna speak through the donkey and says what have I done that you struck me these three times?

823
01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:42.000
Now Balaam doesn't think it's strange that the donkey's talking so I don't know if he'd heard the donkey talk before

824
01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:46.319
I don't know if that was still a season when people could understand what the animals were saying

825
01:09:46.439 --> 01:09:48.319
His Balaam doesn't question it

826
01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:52.520
He just talks back to the donkey and says because you've ridiculed me and provoked me

827
01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:55.080
I wish there was a sword in my hand. I would kill you

828
01:09:56.160 --> 01:10:00.200
Now the donkey says to Balaam. Am I not your donkey upon?

829
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.800
which you've ridden all your life long until this day was I ever accustomed to

830
01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:11.720
do so to you and he said no and now the Lord opens Balaam's eyes now Balaam gets

831
01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:15.360
to see supernaturally and he sees the angel of the Lord standing in the way

832
01:10:15.360 --> 01:10:21.200
with a sword drawn in his hand and he hits a nose-to-the-carpet kind of deal

833
01:10:21.200 --> 01:10:28.000
he is on his face and the angel the Lord said to him why have you struck your

834
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:32.040
donkey these three times see I came to stand against you and resist you because

835
01:10:32.040 --> 01:10:36.800
your behavior is willfully obstinate and it's contrary to me I'm trying to

836
01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:41.160
protect you from yourself you didn't listen to God you're trying to go down

837
01:10:41.160 --> 01:10:45.760
the wrong path I'm trying to help you and when the ass saw me he turned three

838
01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:51.240
ways and if not I would have slain you and Balaam says to the angel of the Lord

839
01:10:51.240 --> 01:10:55.760
I've sinned I didn't know you stood there and if my going displeases you I

840
01:10:55.880 --> 01:11:00.440
will return the angel the Lord says to Balaam go with the men but you'll speak

841
01:11:00.440 --> 01:11:05.280
only what I tell you so Balaam goes back to the princess and when Balaam

842
01:11:05.280 --> 01:11:09.920
heard that Balaam had come he went out to meet him at the city of Moab on the

843
01:11:09.920 --> 01:11:16.600
border formed by Arnon River at the furthest end of it and Balaam

844
01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:22.480
says to Balaam did I not earnestly send you to ask you to come to me why did you

845
01:11:22.480 --> 01:11:27.720
not come am I not able to promote you to honor back to bribing let's get to

846
01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:33.320
his weak spot Balaam says to Balaam indeed I've come to you but do I now

847
01:11:33.320 --> 01:11:38.800
have any power at all to say anything the word that God's put in my mouth that

848
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:44.440
shall I speak well the story goes on and on and he turns and he tries to do it he

849
01:11:44.440 --> 01:11:49.520
tries to curse him and instead God turns it around and blessing my point is even

850
01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:58.280
understood the power of blessings and curses in Deuteronomy chapter 11 it says

851
01:11:58.280 --> 01:12:03.240
this Deuteronomy 11 8 it says keep the commandments I've commanded you that you

852
01:12:03.240 --> 01:12:08.920
can be strong that you can go in and possess the land there's a promised land

853
01:12:08.920 --> 01:12:12.400
I speak that for you to the day as you're listening to this call there's a

854
01:12:12.400 --> 01:12:17.120
promised land that God has for you it's a land of joy and abundance and bliss

855
01:12:17.120 --> 01:12:22.960
and prosperity and health there is a promised land that you can live long

856
01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:29.040
health is part of this equation it's a land flowing with milk and honey you can

857
01:12:29.040 --> 01:12:34.920
go in there and enjoy it and it goes on to describe all the beauty of the land

858
01:12:34.920 --> 01:12:40.320
and the rain for the season and the latter rain you can gather your grain

859
01:12:40.320 --> 01:12:47.520
your wine your oil the grass the fields the cattle and just take heed for

860
01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:53.360
yourself lest your mind or your heart be deceived look there's a promised land

861
01:12:53.360 --> 01:12:59.200
waiting for you as long as you can keep your mind and your heart and your words

862
01:12:59.200 --> 01:13:04.640
in the right place not turn aside and serve other gods and worship them are

863
01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:09.800
you serving the God of fear are you serving the God of lack are you serving

864
01:13:09.800 --> 01:13:14.800
the God of deception because if that's the case it says in verse 17 the heavens

865
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:18.200
are going to get shut up and there won't be any rain you're going to try to figure

866
01:13:18.200 --> 01:13:23.480
out why you have no finances the land won't yield its fruit and you're going

867
01:13:23.480 --> 01:13:32.080
to perish early verse 18 therefore lay up my words in your mind and your heart

868
01:13:32.080 --> 01:13:38.080
and your entire being in fact if you need to put a sign on your forehead man

869
01:13:38.080 --> 01:13:45.160
put bands between your eyes and above all 19 teach this to your children you

870
01:13:45.160 --> 01:13:50.440
know what speak there's your words speak understand the power of words speak to

871
01:13:50.440 --> 01:13:55.040

872
01:13:55.040 --> 01:13:59.760
speak to your kids when you lay down at night speak to your kids when you rise

873
01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:05.800

876
01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:22.680
days and the days of your children can be multiplied in the land there's a

877
01:14:22.680 --> 01:14:29.400
promised land waiting for you if you'll just love God walk in his ways cleave to

878
01:14:29.400 --> 01:14:34.280
him he'll drive out the nations he'll dispose those things that are coming

879
01:14:34.280 --> 01:14:40.120
against you verse 24 every place you put the soul of your foot it'll be yours

880
01:14:40.120 --> 01:14:44.920
take dominion I've taught you the power of the word I've taught you the power of

881
01:14:44.920 --> 01:14:50.880
blessing and curses take authority so that nothing will be able to stand there

882
01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:59.040
will be no fear there will be no dread verse 26 behold I set before you this

883
01:14:59.040 --> 01:15:01.440
day

884
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:09.840
Blessings and curses. Blessings and curses. You know, James 3, to wrap up this

885
01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:15.720
conversation in the New Testament, in James chapter 3, James chapter 3

886
01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:20.760
beginning with 3, it says, you know, we can put a bit in horses mouths to make us

887
01:15:20.760 --> 01:15:25.640
obey them. We can turn their whole body about. You know, I love horseback riding.

888
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:29.760
I'm a horse girl, okay? I'm a horse woman and there's nothing I love better than

889
01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:35.280
getting up on the back of a horse. I ride English and I get myself up in that

890
01:15:35.280 --> 01:15:39.480
English saddle. I put my feet in the stirrups. Oh, I'm imagining right now I

891
01:15:39.480 --> 01:15:44.520
squeeze my knees against the horse and I take the reins. In English you put one

892
01:15:44.520 --> 01:15:52.600
rein in each hand and in English all the control is in your little pinky. Think

893
01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:58.000
about this. Any of you English riders on this call? And so you've

894
01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:03.000
got these reins in your hand and you've got the rein kind of you're holding your

895
01:16:03.000 --> 01:16:07.160
your thumbs kind of out. You've got like you make a fist and you've got the the

896
01:16:07.160 --> 01:16:11.880
top of your fist facing upward, if I can describe it to you. So your second finger

897
01:16:11.880 --> 01:16:17.560
is like at the top and so you've got the reins in your hands and now the rein

898
01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:21.920
goes through all your fingers and at the bottom is your little pinky and you are

899
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:27.720
going to control this couple thousand pound horse by simply squeezing your

900
01:16:27.720 --> 01:16:32.840
leg and and using this pinky. I can I can feel it now. I take my right pinky

901
01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:39.240
and I can just kind of pull it back and I can turn this entire 2,000 pound horse

902
01:16:39.240 --> 01:16:44.480
make it turn around. Now if the horse is real obstinate with this bit in his

903
01:16:44.480 --> 01:16:50.240
mouth I can I can take my arm and and and pull my hand all the way to my knee

904
01:16:50.240 --> 01:16:53.920
and double this horse's neck around and make him turn in circles until he

905
01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:59.440
listens right. It says we set bits in the horse's mouth to make them obey and

906
01:16:59.440 --> 01:17:03.480
we can turn their whole body around and then he takes another metaphor and he

907
01:17:03.480 --> 01:17:07.560
goes over to the ship he says okay those of you that are not horseback riders in

908
01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:12.120
our family we had horseback riders and we had boaters okay my son likes to my

909
01:17:12.120 --> 01:17:16.800
daughter's horseback ride and jump and control those animals my son you know

910
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:21.200
likes to ski and do all of that so we had both we had the horses we had the

911
01:17:21.200 --> 01:17:26.640
boats and he says look at the ships it can be a huge ship driven by rough

912
01:17:26.640 --> 01:17:33.840
winds but it's steered by a very small rudder. I can just make a slight shift on

913
01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:38.440
that rudder and I can turn the whole boat around. Well he's gearing up to talk

914
01:17:38.440 --> 01:17:43.640
to you about your body about your life about what you manifest and in verse 5

915
01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:49.320
he says even so the tongue just kind of look at your tongue right now maybe even

916
01:17:49.320 --> 01:17:52.920
grab your tongue it's a little member in your body it's not as big as your

917
01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:58.360
thighs or your your hamstrings it's not as big as your hand it's not as big as

918
01:17:58.360 --> 01:18:04.560
your feet it's a little member in your body ooh but it can boast of great things

919
01:18:04.560 --> 01:18:11.360
see how much he changes the metaphor again see how much wood or how great a

920
01:18:11.360 --> 01:18:16.400

922
01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:28.200
world of wickedness set among our members contaminating and depraving the

and dis-ease sets in just keep speaking low-frequency words it says it can

but the human tongue ooh it's tough it's restless it's undisciplined it's

931
01:19:13.800 --> 01:19:23.120
evil it's full of deadly poison with it we bless our God and with it we curse

932
01:19:23.120 --> 01:19:31.480
the men who are made in God's image he's like pause push the pause button hold it

933
01:19:31.480 --> 01:19:37.560

God I bless you father I love God and that same tongue that's blessing God is

935
01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:49.040
tearing down your neighbor who's made in God's image who's created by God in the

936
01:19:49.040 --> 01:19:56.400
image of God he's like we got problems in River City how out of the same mouth

937
01:19:56.400 --> 01:20:01.640
can come forth blessing and cursing

938
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:15.840
These things, my brethren, ought not be so. For homework, go to Luke 7 and see how

939
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:26.280
with just a word Jesus could heal someone at a great distance. Go to Matthew 22 and

940
01:20:26.800 --> 01:20:33.200
see how with just a word he could curse an entire fig tree never to grow, never to produce

941
01:20:33.200 --> 01:20:40.200
fruit again. Go to Mark 4 and see how with just a word he could stop a storm that was

942
01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:49.840
sinking the boat. Go to Psalms 15 when David says, Who can dwell in the house of God? And

943
01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:56.840
the answer is, the one who speaks and thinks truth in his heart. Concluding this part about

944
01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:04.840
be impeccable with the word. Be impeccable with your word. Speak and think the truth

945
01:21:05.840 --> 01:21:09.840
in your heart. Make sure the words you're speaking are true. Make sure the words you're

946
01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:14.840
speaking are high frequency and give life and health. Make sure the words you're speaking

947
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:22.840
are producing the fruit that you want to eat, that you desire to eat. Make sure 1 Corinthians

948
01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:29.840
13, that even though you can speak with tongues and you're eloquent, you might have the tongues

949
01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:36.840
of angels. Make sure those words are love based and not fear based. Inspired by God's

950
01:21:37.840 --> 01:21:44.840
love in us or for us. Otherwise, you're just going to be a noisy gong and a clanging cymbal.

951
01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:52.840
Make sure your words are producing life. And as I conclude this call, it's 9 o'clock now,

952
01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:58.840
901, I'm just going to conclude with a blessing and say, all of you listening, I bless you.

carried you to do. I bless you with a knowing of who you are and whose you are and the purpose

of God on earth. I bless you to be a world changer. I bless you to touch the world where

963
01:22:59.840 --> 01:23:05.840
it's hurting. I bless you to provide where there's need. I bless you with grace that

in your hand to prospers. I bless you in Jesus' name. Amen.
