Hey, um we're gonna get straight into this now 187 00:12:53.920 --> 00:13:00.720 I don't think that I'm just gonna lift my camera up a little bit because I can just notice here that you're not quite catching 188 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.720 There we go 189 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:09.120 That's got it there right there. Oh little bump there, okay, so sweet what you can see here 190 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:17.440 As you can say you see my responsibility your responsibility, so I just want to take a moment now to share about this 191 00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:19.760 concept in 192 00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:26.560 relationships and in the context of building kingdom community to build kingdom community we have got to be 193 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.680 we've got to be experts at 194 00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:32.440 relationship and 195 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:38.760 This is one thing that I have had a crash course on and being a pastor for the last 10 years and even in asking 196 00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:41.720 What does heaven look like? What is the atmosphere of? 197 00:13:42.520 --> 00:13:43.680 heaven 198 00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:50.440 Look like what what does it look like to bring heaven to earth and the blueprint the model for bringing heaven to earth? 199 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:55.520 Hey, thanks, Michelle and the blueprint for bringing heaven to earth is always 200 00:13:56.400 --> 00:14:02.680 the fellowship of the Trinity the fellowship of the Trinity is the model for us and so I 201 00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:10.520 Just look to the fellowship of the Trinity their unbroken cycle of divine love to see the model the blueprint 202 00:14:10.880 --> 00:14:13.960 for what heaven on earth looks like and so 203 00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:19.280 this process of doing that with people is really really dynamic and 204 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:27.520 so the skill of having great you know being able to build exceptional relationships and being powerful people and being really really 205 00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:34.240 Exceptional building relationships is really key. So I want to give you one key to building healthy relationships this morning 206 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:38.160 It's really really a massive part of bringing heaven to earth. In fact 207 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.720 Relationship skills communication skills. I think they're more 208 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:50.720 important and the process of bringing heaven to earth then signs wonders and miracles in one sense because 209 00:14:52.800 --> 00:14:57.120 You don't need if you want to if you want to reproduce the fellowship of the Trinity 210 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.080 More than needing signs wonders a miracle 211 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.920 we need great relationship skills. I've seen more, you know, I think it's far 212 00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:07.920 easier to train people for signs, wonders and miracles than it is to actually see 213 00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:12.480 people have great quality healthy relationships and great quality healthy 214 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.960 community. Personally I'm all about let's have it all, let's have it all, let's have 215 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.280 it all, let's have the signs, wonders, miracles, let's have the visions, dreams 216 00:15:20.280 --> 00:15:23.880 and encounters, let's have the trips to heaven, let's have the face-to-face glory 217 00:15:24.040 --> 00:15:31.560 and let's also have communities where our quality of relationship is absolutely 218 00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:34.620 divine, where our quality of relationship mirrors that of the 219 00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:39.000 fellowship of the Trinity. So the key that I want to give you today is in a 220 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.640 relationship with anyone, what are you responsible for and what's the other 221 00:15:43.640 --> 00:15:48.880 person responsible for? So what are you responsible for? What's, you know, 222 00:15:48.880 --> 00:15:52.560 what is it that you need to be taking responsibility for in relationships with 223 00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:56.880 people and what do I need to take responsibility for in relationships with 224 00:15:56.880 --> 00:16:01.560 people? This is really really important in the process of becoming a powerful 225 00:16:01.560 --> 00:16:10.560 person in your relationships. If we have a victim mindset or if we have a passive 226 00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:15.440 aggressive mindset or if we have a way over-the-top aggressive mindset when it 227 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:20.560 comes to relationships, we can really destroy our own relationships and so 228 00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:24.720 what I want to teach you is one thing about how to be a powerful person, one 229 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:29.480 key to being a powerful person in the context of relationships and that key is 230 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.600 knowing what your responsibilities are and what the other person's 231 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:40.800 responsibilities are. So let's jam on this, a real real simple breakdown of 232 00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:47.960 who's responsible for honor. Now in a relationship you are always always 233 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.440 always responsible for honor. That looks like keeping your love on all the time 234 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:58.440 so regardless of another person's behavior there's never an excuse to step 235 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:03.680 out of out of honor. This is our responsibility. If we want to be able to 236 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.200 build kingdom community then we have to understand that that my first 237 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:13.839 responsibility in relationship, my first responsibility in a relationship with 238 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:18.599 anyone whether it's someone some tiny little kid or whether it's like the you 239 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.640 know the boss of the world you know whether it's whether it's your 240 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.599 relationship with God you know like on it or whether it's relationship with 241 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.880 someone that you meet on the street it doesn't matter who the person is your 242 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.760 primary responsibility in relationship your number one responsibility is always 243 00:17:34.760 --> 00:17:41.600 honor. So for us we don't honor and the kingdom culture is not to honor someone 244 00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:45.720 if they honors you. The kingdom culture is to honor people because we are 245 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:51.920 honorable but full stop we just we honor people because that's who we are we are 246 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.800 men and women of honor and that's how we roll that's what sonship looks like it 247 00:17:55.800 --> 00:18:00.320 always looks like walking in honor regardless of the circumstance. You know 248 00:18:00.320 --> 00:18:09.160 I have had some crazy crazy betrayals this year and ministry and business and 249 00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:15.480 in all sorts of areas you experience dishonor you experience betrayal you 250 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:20.040 experience people hating you you experience persecution and what was 251 00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:24.680 Jesus model for us in the midst of that when he was on the cross Jesus never 252 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:29.400 stepped out of honor he showed us what love looked like he showed us how we're 253 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:34.760 called to operate and we're always always called to operate in honor so boom 254 00:18:34.760 --> 00:18:39.120 if you want to be a powerful person if you want to be empowered to bring heaven 255 00:18:39.120 --> 00:18:47.360 to earth this is this is like imperative this is our this is where we 256 00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:52.640 live from we live from honor regardless of how other people are acting there's 257 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:57.160 never a moment that we step out of honor and that's what Jesus modeled for us on 258 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.160 the cross he's like boom this is what honor looks like I honor people because 259 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.360 I'm honorable you didn't see Jesus getting angry with the people when he 260 00:19:05.360 --> 00:19:09.000 was nailed to the cross you didn't see Jesus going I hate you you didn't see 261 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:15.680 him you know really attacking people because they had viciously betrayed him 262 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:20.680 and you didn't even see Jesus getting offended so when you walk in honor you 263 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:26.600 never walk in offense this is so crucial it's so crucial that we never step into 264 00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:31.920 the realm of offense if we step into the realm of offense we've already lost the 265 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:38.720 battle we've stepped into enemy territory and we are you know we're 266 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.000 going backwards if we step into offense so number one thing that you're 267 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:46.760 responsible for in relationships you're responsible for you you can't control 268 00:19:46.760 --> 00:19:50.920 other people we're not called to control other people we're called to control 269 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:55.640 ourselves now this would sort out most of our issues and relationships if we 270 00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:01.280 could just control ourselves by never stepping into honor 271 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.120 out of honor, never stepping into offense, never stepping into dishonor, never 272 00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:10.400 stepping into talking behind people's backs, cursing people, betraying people, 273 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:19.560 bad-mouthing people. Honor. This is our home. This is where we live. When 274 00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:23.320 we're operating as sons we never step out of honor and that's what Jesus 275 00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:27.680 molded for us on the cross. Give a thumbs up if you like that action or a shout out 276 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:31.240 if you're like, whoa, honor, that's what we're all about. If you're all about honor 277 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:34.680 just give me a fist bump, a thumbs up, a high-five, something, let me know you're 278 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:41.760 out there. Honor. Boom. It's the way of sonship. It's the way of the kingdom. The 279 00:20:41.760 --> 00:20:47.800 second thing we're responsible for is forgiveness. When people when people let 280 00:20:47.800 --> 00:20:53.240 us down, when people betray us, when people backstab us, when people fail us, 281 00:20:53.240 --> 00:21:01.720 we are responsible for forgiveness. Freely give. As freely we 282 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:06.960 have received, so freely give. We're called to just freely forgive. We're 283 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:13.240 called to offer forgiveness and grace to people regardless of where they're at. 284 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:17.680 Regardless of the offense, regardless of the abuse, regardless of the 285 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:23.200 trauma that you've been through, we are called to live in forgiveness. This is 286 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:29.640 this is just giving grace to people. It's not judging them. It's not 287 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:34.800 holding offense. It's not keeping a record of wrongs. Freely forgiving, 288 00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:40.840 effortlessly forgiving. We forgive as we have been forgiven, effortlessly. Now just 289 00:21:40.840 --> 00:21:44.840 because we are willing to honor people and we're willing to forgive people, it 290 00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:49.840 doesn't mean that if you're forgiving someone for, you know, something nasty 291 00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:53.800 that they've done, or if you're forgiving someone from a past offense or a past 292 00:21:53.800 --> 00:21:58.960 abuse, even if it's really, really serious. If you're forgiving someone from a past 293 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:05.160 trauma that might have been a really massive trauma in your life, it doesn't 294 00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:08.920 mean that you necessarily trust people, okay? So this is what we're 295 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:13.160 responsible for in a relationship. We're responsible for honor. We're 296 00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:17.000 responsible to always keep our love on, to never step out of that place of honor. 297 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:24.080 We're responsible for forgiveness, to always offer, freely offer forgiveness to 298 00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:29.320 people. But just because we can honor and we can forgive people doesn't mean that 299 00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:36.200 we just throw our trust out carelessly or casually. This is our responsibility 300 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.920 in a relationship, and this is the other person's responsibility. Now we can't 301 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.880 control people. We're not called to control other people. We're called to 302 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:49.040 control ourselves. We're called to have some self-control, and never step out of 303 00:22:49.040 --> 00:22:55.200 honor, and always offer forgiveness. But other people are definitely 100% 304 00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:02.240 responsible for stewarding our trust. Now if you're going to, if 305 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.840 people are going to have unsafe behavior, if they're going to be, yeah, if they're 306 00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:12.240 going to be having unsafe behavior, if they're going to be disrespecting, if 307 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.200 they're going to be just being genuinely unsafe people, they're going to 308 00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:22.360 really struggle to gain our trust, okay? So what other people are responsible for, 309 00:23:22.360 --> 00:23:26.640 they're responsible for their behavior, and whether or not we can trust that 310 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:35.160 they will be safe people, whether or not we can trust their behavior. Hey, thanks 311 00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:39.440 Caroline, that's good. And other people are responsible for their behavior, and 312 00:23:39.600 --> 00:23:44.120 we can't always respect someone else's behavior, right? We can always honor 313 00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:48.480 someone for who they are, we can always forgive them, but we can't always respect 314 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.360 their behavior. If they want our respect, they're responsible for earning 315 00:23:53.360 --> 00:23:57.880 our respect, they're responsible for earning our trust, okay? So you aren't 316 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.040 obligated to give someone respect, you aren't obligated to give someone trust. 317 00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:08.800 We are called, without a shadow of a doubt, to always walk in honor, and to 318 00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:12.240 always walk in forgiveness, and to always offer that. But we're not called 319 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:20.080 to casually give our trust away. Trust is something that people are responsible 320 00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:26.160 for stewarding trust, and people are responsible for stewarding respect. What 321 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:31.080 I want to talk about in our next session is boundaries, how to set healthy 322 00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:38.520 boundaries, and also talk about how boundaries are not, boundaries are not 323 00:24:38.520 --> 00:24:43.760 about pushing people away, boundaries are about showing people the way home. 324 00:24:43.760 --> 00:24:49.160 And the more people can honor our boundaries, and honor our requests of, 325 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:54.880 hey, if you do this, I'll feel safe, the more people can steward our 326 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:59.640 trust, and steward that with safe behavior, then the more the level of 327 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.280 trust 328 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.760 is going to increase and the more the level of respect is increased. But I hope that is 329 00:25:03.760 --> 00:25:09.520 a valuable moment for you. Boom! We're responsible for honor, we're responsible for forgiveness, 330 00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:14.880 other people are responsible for stewarding trust, stewarding respect and building that. 331 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.720 And if we can do this, if we can create communities where we all understand this, 332 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.760 where we're all powerful people, where we're all walking in that really well, then ultimately what 333 00:25:23.760 --> 00:25:28.080 that is going to create is going to create communities where we have really high levels 334 00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:35.440 of trust. And the more trust we have in our relationships, the more trust we build into 335 00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:40.320 the infrastructure of our communities, then the deeper the level of connection will be, 336 00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:46.000 the deeper the level of intimacy will be. Love you guys, we'll catch you soon. 337 00:25:47.760 --> 00:25:54.800 I think maybe I'll just share just for another, just another moment on this because this whole 338 00:25:54.800 --> 00:26:03.360 concept of forgiveness, sometimes, sometimes in some church contexts, it's taught for people, 339 00:26:03.360 --> 00:26:08.080 you know, like when you, if someone has abused you or someone's done something real nasty and 340 00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:12.320 you're offering them forgiveness, sometimes there's been a miscommunication. They've said, 341 00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:16.000 well, if we're going to forgive them and then we're going to be able to trust them again. 342 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.480 Absolutely not. You know, forgiving someone doesn't say, it doesn't mean that you're going to, 343 00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:26.560 you can trust them. Okay. So we're going to freely forgive people, but then trust as a journey, 344 00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:32.080 respect as a journey, and other people are responsible for stewarding that level of trust 345 00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:39.600 and respect. So love you guys. Have a great Saturday. Why don't you just do a shout out as 346 00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:44.560 well? What are you up to this Saturday? Be cool to hear some of the stories of what people are doing 347 00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:51.200 for their Saturday. I'm hoping to go for an adventure in the wilderness this afternoon 348 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:56.480 or this evening. Might be able to go on a hunt and track down a deer or something like that, 349 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.720 but I've got a friend that I'm keen to go for an adventure with, so I'm going to be doing that 350 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:06.480 and I'm going to be having family time. I'm going to be doing probably some lawns and I might mow 351 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:11.840 a friend's lawns as well. They've been overseas, so I might try and smash that out for them as 352 00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:18.160 the weather clears up this afternoon. Love you heaps. Oh, actually, Caroline, you just raised a 353 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:23.280 really good point there about this is an interesting concept when it involves leadership. 354 00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:32.240 Your pastors, your leaders are not above this principle. Pastors, I'm a pastor, I have to earn 355 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:39.200 trust. I can't demand trust. It's totally wrong. Caroline, this is such a good point on this. And 356 00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:43.200 if you have questions about this or discussion you want to start about this, then feel free to 357 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:47.440 chuck those comments down. Feel free to chuck questions down about this. I'm more than happy 358 00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:52.960 to do questions in the comments. Chuck that down. We can have a conversation about that. 359 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:59.520 Would be great to hear that because leadership has been notorious in the church for not doing 360 00:27:59.520 --> 00:28:05.600 this well. And going forward, we want to do this well in the future, but just because someone's 361 00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:10.480 a pastor, they can't demand trust. And just because someone's a pastor, they can't demand 362 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:16.160 respect. That's a process. That's something that we have to build. That's something we have to grow. 363 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:22.640 And as a pastor, I don't actually expect, and it's wrong for me to go into someone's life and just 364 00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:33.760 expect trust or expect respect if my behavior doesn't warrant trust. If my behavior doesn't 365 00:28:33.760 --> 00:28:41.040 warrant respect. And in any relationship, this is a process of building this. But I tell you what, 366 00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:49.520 the more that I operate here in self-control as a pastor, the more that I operate in honor, 367 00:28:49.520 --> 00:28:55.680 and the more that I operate in forgiveness as my protocol, as my state of being, it actually 368 00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:04.400 becomes quite easy to build trust and build respect. So if we get our part right of walking 369 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:09.360 in honor and forgiveness, if we get self-control right, we won't have to control others. And it 370 00:29:09.360 --> 00:29:15.440 was a really good point that you made there, Caroline, because in the church and in lots of 371 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:25.840 other places... Oh, cool. Off you go. That's going to be awesome, Caroline. Have a great time 372 00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:33.520 at the conference. But yeah, the more that we as individuals nail this, walking in honor and 373 00:29:33.520 --> 00:29:40.720 forgiveness, the easier it is for us to build trust and build respect with other people. When 374 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:46.720 we slip up in honor and slip up in forgiveness, that's when we will struggle to be building trust 375 00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:51.600 and respect with others. Love you guys so much. Have a wonderful day doing everything that you're 376 00:29:51.600 --> 00:29:58.000 doing all around the world. I love you. Have a wonderful weekend. Bless you, and we'll catch you 377 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.840 Next week with Origins of the Gospel Part 3, and I'll do a Part 2 on this next week, 378 00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:14.240 we'll look at setting safe boundaries. Have a great day, and please do feel free to share 379 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:19.200 what you're up to. I love it. Caroline, thanks for sharing, and why don't we just chuck up some 380 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:23.920 videos too of fun things that we're doing for the weekend. I'll hopefully send you a good, 381 00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:29.200 fun video of my adventure today too. Love you. See you.
