1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.480
I don't know about y'all, but when they started, I didn't like it when they started doing the

2
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.480
whole, like announcing that it was being recorded.

3
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:17.480
Sounds creepy.

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:25.520
Sounds like I'm being watched or something like, maybe they get a bit like a different

5
00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:30.800
way to, a different voice or a different tone or something.

6
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:31.800
Okay.

7
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.000
So let's talk about the two trees really quick.

8
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.120
And I just wanted to talk about this to remind us, because really, I think that all of us

9
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:45.960
have already, I think that all of us have already heard a lot about the difference between

10
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.600
operating from the tree of life versus the tree of knowledge have been evil, even from

11
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.080
me and, or from someone else, and then also about the three realms.

12
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:58.640
But I'm wanting to remind us so that it's fresh in our mind, and then we're just all

13
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.440
on the same page for being able to continue the conversation.

14
00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:08.760
So I want to remind us that sin is actually just unbelief.

15
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:14.880
It's not, it's not believing in God because God is actually word.

16
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.600
So being invisible, he wanted to give us himself, but if we're invisible, then how would an

17
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:23.520
invisible God give us himself?

18
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:28.320
How would he give us a portion of him word?

19
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:31.600
So that's how God feels loved.

20
00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:34.400
He's giving us of himself, which is word.

21
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:35.400
That's what he's giving.

22
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:36.800
And he wants us to receive him.

23
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:41.800
So if we're receiving God, what do we need to do to receive what, what do we receive

24
00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:45.480
in order to receive him word?

25
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.920
That's why it's very important for us to believe him.

26
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.320
That's how God feels loved is if we believe, in other words, receive himself, which is

27
00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:57.120
believing his word, having faith.

28
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.280
Remember that if we actually do believe it, we'll act on it.

29
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.720
If we say that we believe it because we think that we should, or that, and then we know

30
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:04.720
it.

31
00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:07.600
And then we think, Oh my goodness, I'm transformed just because I know something new.

32
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:11.080
If our lives aren't manifesting a difference, it means that we don't actually believe it

33
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.520
because we're not putting it in action.

34
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:17.160
Cause if we put it in action, you know, it wouldn't, we'd be able to see a difference

35
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.280
in our lives.

36
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:23.720
So anyway, that is how we actually love the Lord is we believe him.

37
00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:25.720
And that's what sin is.

38
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:28.120
Sin is not believing God.

39
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.640
And that was the temptation that both Adam, Adam, well, Adam, obviously, but I'm specifically

40
00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:36.920
referring to the fact that Satan was talking to Eve.

41
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:40.880
So that is the temptation that Adam and Eve, let's just talk about Adam, I guess is the

42
00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:46.960
first Adam to compare it to also the fact that this was what Jesus was presented with

43
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:53.640
is the second Adam in, um, uh, in the wilderness where he was also tended by Satan to not believe

44
00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:56.280
God, to not believe his word.

45
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.280
That's what sin is.

46
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.720
Sin is not believing God that whatever God says actually isn't true.

47
00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:09.040
It's what Satan mentioned to Eve when he said, did God really say he wasn't questioning

48
00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:14.920
whether or not God talked, he was questioning, is that what God meant?

49
00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:19.680
He was getting her to question, you know, the, the word that it is that she'd received.

50
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.840
And, um, and because if they, if we believe his word, then we'll act on it.

51
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.440
Just like Eve was called by God to act on not eating from the tree of the knowledge

52
00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:30.440
of good and evil.

53
00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:34.320
And just like Jesus was, was called to act on the fact that, okay, if he believed that

54
00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:38.200
what God said really was true, then how was he going to act in the wilderness?

55
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:43.680
Satan was saying, oh, well then if you believe God fascinatingly, he, he knew that this is

56
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:48.200
that, um, Jesus knew about the whole, the importance of acting on faith in order for

57
00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:49.200
it to be real faith.

58
00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:53.600
And he said, well, if you're the son of God do this.

59
00:03:53.600 --> 00:03:59.960
And she said, no, that is not what having faith in the Lord is.

60
00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:02.640
And that's not what it is that God was saying.

61
00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:08.480
God was saying to act, but my acting is in trusting him and resting in him.

62
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:10.480
It's not in providing for myself.

63
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:14.440
And he had to make, and he had to, uh, he had to clarify that difference course, Satan

64
00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:18.040
already knew that, but he's having to make that very clear distinction.

65
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.160
Um, and, uh, and saying why he wasn't going to follow through with what Satan was telling

66
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:24.160
him to do.

67
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.400
He, Satan was at, was wanting him to doubt what it is that God had said.

68
00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:29.600
So that's what sin is.

69
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.360
And that's what it is that we're called, that we're constantly confronted with is do we

70
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.520
want to eat from the tree of life or the tree of knowledge of good and evil eating from

71
00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:38.520
the tree of life.

72
00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:42.840
In other words, operating from the tree of life is operating and rest.

73
00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:48.880
It's operating, believing that God is our protection provision, source of identity and

74
00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:54.240
source of, uh, being completely loved, liked, and expect to be comforted.

75
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.960
He providing it for us as resting in him and being provided for as, as a son who was loved.

76
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.480
as opposed to operating according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil of in,

77
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:10.480
okay, God has left me abandoned and alone. I'm not being completely provided for sure.

78
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.200
He provides for me some, or he provides for me through by having given me a business.

79
00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:21.920
And therefore I have to work hard to make sure that I allow the business to provide for me.

80
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.680
Again, it's this idea, this mental idea that we're separated, that we're isolated,

81
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:34.160
that it requires our exertion, our work, our effort in order to keep something going,

82
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:40.560
that God has left us abandoned to be a good steward. Being a good steward,

83
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:45.920
the way that the Lord means it, does not mean that he's abandoned us to make sure that,

84
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:50.960
and then once, and is holding us accountable for doing a good job while he's gone.

85
00:05:51.920 --> 00:06:02.160
It's doing it with us, but he's, and so being a good steward is not him leaving it up to us to

86
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.640
figure it out and make sure that we pass the test of what it is that he's taught us so far.

87
00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:09.760
And hey, let's just see how you do. And let's make sure that you learned your lesson,

88
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:14.160
that it's not what the being of a good steward, being of a good steward is,

89
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.040
is operating out of the relationship to which are operating out of the point to which our

90
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:28.560
relationship is developed with the Lord and doing it together with him. Anyway, so in the

91
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.240
operating out of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, it is choosing that, okay, well,

92
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:43.360
God has left me alone and I have to fend for myself or, you know, I get in because with him,

93
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.040
there's this aspect in which I feel that everything's outside of my control.

94
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:53.440
What if he's not going to, what if, you know, my, my business is out of my control? What if,

95
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:58.640
you know, whatever, what, so we think, okay, what is it that I can do? What is it that I need to

96
00:06:58.640 --> 00:07:05.440
grab a hold of in order to, in order to control the outcome? We're trying to control the result.

97
00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:10.720
We're trying to create our own result because we don't feel safe leaving it in God's hands.

98
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:18.160
We don't believe that he'll actually create a result that will, that will give us protection,

99
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.360
provision, identity, love, like, or comfort. And therefore we're going to try to control the

100
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.560
situation in order to determine that we get the protection, provision, love, like, comfort,

101
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:34.320
and identity. And anyway, that is the choice that we're continually presented with just like Adam

102
00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:42.800
and Eve and just like Jesus. And we need to know that. Well, yeah. So let, okay, let me go ahead

103
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:48.480
and mention this, mention this now is that there are, hopefully y'all can see this. There are lots

104
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:57.600
of trees in the garden. Remember that, that Eve told Satan when Satan was tempting her, he said,

105
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:04.080
God said, you can eat of any tree in the garden. She did not mention the tree of life.

106
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:12.720
She said, you can eat from any tree in the garden, except this other one. There's lots of trees.

107
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:20.320
There was only one tree that was a no. And so often we view life is like this, this,

108
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:28.960
this thing that is full of obstacles. And, and it's very hard to follow the right way and the

109
00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:36.480
own and, and the godly way and whatever, because there's that sin has all these obstacles that

110
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.559
we're always trying to avoid. And that there's more of it than there is of the good. And God

111
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:45.760
said the opposite. There are lots of trees in the garden. There was only one. And that one was

112
00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:52.720
exertion. The one tree we couldn't eat from was exertion and strife. The tree of the knowledge,

113
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:57.840
relying on our knowledge of whether something's right or wrong in order to protect or provide

114
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:03.440
for us to make sure that we follow the laws that will get us what we want. Because if we leave it

115
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.200
up to God, we may not get what we want. We may not provide for ourselves or we may not get protected

116
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:14.160
or whatever. So it's important for us to remember there's lots of trees. Now, though, I want to

117
00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:18.240
mention this just because it's probably something that a lot of people think about is, well, yeah,

118
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.240
but isn't, doesn't God say that narrow is the way and very broad is broad is the path to destruction.

119
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.440
Very narrow is the way to the kingdom. Again, we hear everything so often in terms of where's the

120
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:36.640
lack. I'm in lack. God says, no, in me, there's no lack. There's only abundance. So I wanted to

121
00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:42.320
explain that as the narrow way mean like we can only get into the kingdom through Jesus Christ

122
00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:48.560
in his blood, always operating through his blood, not a one and done thing, not a, okay, well, yeah,

123
00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:53.360
Jesus died for me and I received him, you know, when I was four or let me, you know, when I,

124
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:57.840
when I was four and it's a one and done thing, yes, we are saved and that that's one and done

125
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.920
and all of that. But the thing.

126
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.320
The thing is, whenever we continue to operate,

127
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.680
when we continue to make businesses decisions,

128
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:07.480
when we continue to be presented with,

129
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.440
I don't know, temptations by Satan to our own mind,

130
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.000
to not believe God, we always have to go,

131
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.420
we always have to operate in the blood,

132
00:10:17.420 --> 00:10:20.200
not abandoned and alone, not separated,

133
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.320
not trying to figure out how do I make myself pleasing?

134
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.460
How do I make the right decision?

135
00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:28.200
Just go through Jesus every single time.

136
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.160
Okay, I'm in his blood,

137
00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:32.660
it's not just because he did something once

138
00:10:32.660 --> 00:10:35.160
and therefore he made me a particular way,

139
00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:36.200
because that is true,

140
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.880
but it's the fact that I'm still abiding in that place.

141
00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:42.440
It's operating from that place that I am in his blood,

142
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.360
I'm in rest, I'm in God, I'm one with him,

143
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.640
I'm one seed with him, all that,

144
00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:50.080
operating from that place, that's the mirror place.

145
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.220
Everything else is exertion and effort

146
00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:54.880
and whatever, trying to jump the fence,

147
00:10:54.880 --> 00:10:55.720
trying to get in there.

148
00:10:55.720 --> 00:11:00.720
God says that that is as a thief coming into the kingdom,

149
00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:02.400
trying to come in any other way

150
00:11:02.400 --> 00:11:03.640
other than through the blood.

151
00:11:03.640 --> 00:11:05.880
So I just wanted to mention the thing about,

152
00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:07.880
yes, there's lots of trees in the garden,

153
00:11:07.880 --> 00:11:10.280
but people always compare it to the verse,

154
00:11:10.280 --> 00:11:12.040
yeah, but what about the fact that,

155
00:11:12.040 --> 00:11:15.200
doesn't God say, broad is the way to destruction,

156
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.960
look how big that fence line is.

157
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.320
Broad is the way to destruction, narrow is the way,

158
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.240
but there's more trees,

159
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.560
we can eat from any tree in the garden,

160
00:11:26.400 --> 00:11:27.240
there's only one that we can't,

161
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.400
which is knowledge of good and evil,

162
00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:31.440
in other words, our own exertion or an effort,

163
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.920
trying to do it on our own.

164
00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:38.800
And the difference between the tree of life

165
00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:40.680
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil is,

166
00:11:40.680 --> 00:11:42.880
if things like an operating tree of life

167
00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:45.080
where we are trusting, okay, God,

168
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.760
I'm submitting my will to you,

169
00:11:46.760 --> 00:11:48.400
you are my protection, my provision,

170
00:11:48.400 --> 00:11:50.720
you create all the results of my business,

171
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.840
you bring the clients,

172
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.600
you help me make business decisions,

173
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:59.480
you determine the results, that's all you Lord,

174
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.480
but I'm active in the business,

175
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:02.960
I participate in the business,

176
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.400
I contribute, I came up with ideas,

177
00:12:05.400 --> 00:12:07.840
I came up with decisions, whatever,

178
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.840
but the two of us decide together

179
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.000
what it is that we're going to do

180
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.640
when I say decisions, like ideas for making decisions,

181
00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:17.800
if the two of us decide all of that together,

182
00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:19.800
that's operating, but you Lord,

183
00:12:20.640 --> 00:12:24.040
but I'm free now the burden and the weight

184
00:12:24.040 --> 00:12:27.960
of having to create a result for my decisions,

185
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.480
that my decisions bear the weight of,

186
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.040
oh my word, this better work,

187
00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:34.640
I was like, no, let me take care of that,

188
00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:36.680
we're constantly faced between believing

189
00:12:36.680 --> 00:12:38.080
that he is who he says that he is,

190
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.880
and he says that he's going to provide for us,

191
00:12:39.880 --> 00:12:42.880
we're faced with that, or thinking,

192
00:12:42.880 --> 00:12:45.440
you know what, he's holding me accountable

193
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.800
to make something work,

194
00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:49.840
he gave me a business, he gave me a dream,

195
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.720
a vision, a ministry, something that it is

196
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.040
that I want to do, and I've got to make sure

197
00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:57.160
to quote unquote, and we use all these good,

198
00:12:57.160 --> 00:13:00.440
good little terminology, these godly phrases

199
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.040
and terminology to make ourselves think

200
00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:04.720
that we're doing this right thing,

201
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:09.280
I want to be a good steward with what he's given me,

202
00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:13.400
so that when he comes back, I've passed the test,

203
00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:15.720
because like, no, the problem there

204
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:16.880
is the difference between operating

205
00:13:16.880 --> 00:13:17.800
according to the tree of life

206
00:13:17.800 --> 00:13:19.320
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,

207
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.880
and the fact that there's union and separation,

208
00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:25.680
we have to do everything in union with him,

209
00:13:25.680 --> 00:13:26.880
in relationship with him,

210
00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:30.240
because he takes separation from him very seriously,

211
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.880
that's the whole difference between the tree of life

212
00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:35.680
versus the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,

213
00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:39.760
everything comes down to more than life and death,

214
00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:41.200
and I mean, because that is very important,

215
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.480
you know, obviously, everything comes down

216
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.400
to life and death, but it's more than just

217
00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:47.960
belief or faith in sin, you know,

218
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:51.360
belief and unbelief, or, you know, righteousness and sin,

219
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.720
it's more than that, if you hear this,

220
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.800
you will find it all throughout scripture now,

221
00:13:55.800 --> 00:14:00.640
everything comes back to union versus separation,

222
00:14:00.640 --> 00:14:03.120
the only times that Jesus got mad,

223
00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:08.480
mad at the, you know, and he used the whip

224
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.400
and drove people and animals and out at the,

225
00:14:11.400 --> 00:14:13.520
or drove animals out of the temple

226
00:14:13.520 --> 00:14:15.560
and turned over the money changer's tables

227
00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:18.280
and all of that, even when he got upset at Peter,

228
00:14:18.280 --> 00:14:21.000
and he said, get me behind me, Satan, remember,

229
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.520
because Jesus spoke King James, I'm just kidding,

230
00:14:23.520 --> 00:14:27.440
you know, that, you know, get me behind me, Satan,

231
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.080
whenever Jesus was getting upset at anybody,

232
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.640
it was because that other person was trying,

233
00:14:32.640 --> 00:14:36.680
was saying something that would create separation

234
00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:39.880
between God and his people, God takes it so seriously

235
00:14:39.880 --> 00:14:42.240
that that's when Jesus would get mad,

236
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.440
that's when Jesus would get very upset and very stern,

237
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.640
is when there was an indication

238
00:14:47.640 --> 00:14:50.840
that people were trying to create or imply

239
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.280
a separation between the two, God takes union with him,

240
00:14:54.280 --> 00:14:56.520
which is why we talked about one spirit with God,

241
00:14:56.520 --> 00:14:59.480
takes union with him, so important.

242
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.920
was our origination point, was union with him. We can't get more basic, more important and more

243
00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:12.800
vital to the Lord and what's important to him than union. And of course, in union you have life,

244
00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:17.760
in union you have love, in union you have spirit, in union you have the relationship.

245
00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:23.680
So all of those other things are important as well, but think of it in a new way in terms of

246
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:31.520
union as opposed to righteousness, which triggers our brain as, okay, I'm constantly in life and in

247
00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:38.080
business trying to avoid sin and do the right thing. No, but it's like union instead of separation.

248
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:48.880
Very, very important, which also is intimacy versus distance, etc. And this over here,

249
00:15:48.880 --> 00:15:53.120
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we have to work in order to earn a wage,

250
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:58.240
but everything according to the tree of life means that, like we were talking about when we

251
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.920
talked about receiving God's love, has to be given as a free gift. Everything in the kingdom

252
00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:10.800
has to be given as, is only freely given and freely received. You can't work for anything

253
00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:19.360
in the kingdom. You can work and get things from the Lord, but that's operating according to the

254
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:26.960
evil and it's outside. It's outside. Now, it doesn't mean that you're not a Christian,

255
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:31.840
if you're doing that. I'm just trying to give us a kind of like an example. And the tree of

256
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:39.200
the knowledge of good and evil was in the garden as well. But my point is, it's not, you get the,

257
00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:45.040
you get, and maybe outside wasn't the right way to picture it because it's probably triggering

258
00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:52.320
all kinds of things. So, so forget picturing it like that. The point is that in that you can't

259
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:58.080
work for something and receive a gift. If you work for anything, you're going to get a wage.

260
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.680
So it's like, okay, you worked for something and you followed my laws. So I'm going to give you

261
00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:08.160
the results and the natural consequence or the natural benefits of having followed these laws.

262
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.000
You can do it if you want. And it's a good gift from God, by the way, because Romans 7 says that

263
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.119
the law, in other words, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is a good tree.

264
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:24.720
We always thought it was bad. It's a good tree, but God says, no, you need to use it, not use it

265
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:31.680
as your, use it from a place of union where you don't need it. And now that you don't need it,

266
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.440
now you can use it because it can't damage you. But if you leave the tree of the knowledge of

267
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:42.160
good and evil, and you think you need the tree, sorry, you leave the tree of life in,

268
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.960
and I mean, you think you need the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

269
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.360
He said, that's, that's the issue. He said, you've changed your source.

270
00:17:51.040 --> 00:17:57.200
But God doesn't create bad things. I was always very confused reading that story, you know,

271
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:03.680
in, in Genesis, like, well, why would God create a bad tree? God is a good God. He says,

272
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.040
he's a good God. He says, he's a loving God. Why would he create a bad tree?

273
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:15.920
God doesn't create bad things, but he doesn't want us to rely on it as our source. When we

274
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.920
don't rely on it as our source, we can now use it. And we know that from all kinds of different

275
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:28.880
places in scripture, including Romans seven, where it says that the law is holy. It literally

276
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:36.320
says that word. It says the law is holy. It says that, and not in Romans seven, but elsewhere,

277
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:42.960
it says that Christ came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. Why? Because the law wasn't bad.

278
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.640
The law was a gift. God was like, okay, if my child, like the prodigal son, my child's demanding

279
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:55.600
their inheritance, they're leaving. So it, and so I'm going to give them their inheritance so that

280
00:18:55.600 --> 00:19:00.240
they can take care of themselves. But what's the problem with the inheritance? It's going to run

281
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:05.200
out. If they take it off, which is what the prodigal son did, it's going to run out. The

282
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:10.320
older son, however, stayed at the estate and he just had it eternally. The problem was with the

283
00:19:10.320 --> 00:19:14.560
older son is even though he had it eternally, he didn't take advantage of it. He didn't believe

284
00:19:14.560 --> 00:19:21.040
it really was his. He just thought he was working for, to maintain his father's stuff. And his

285
00:19:21.040 --> 00:19:26.800
father had to, you know, very kindly rebuke him for that and say, no, no, I want to encourage you

286
00:19:26.800 --> 00:19:30.960
that it's what I have has always been yours. So it's the same thing with the tree of the

287
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.960
knowledge of good and evil. God's like, you know, okay, if you said, just like the Israelites,

288
00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:42.880
he offered, he offered relationship with them, come up, come up the mountain, you know, and I

289
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.080
will make covenant with you. And they heard the lightning and the thunder and the voice of God.

290
00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:52.640
And they're like, we want nothing to do with this. Moses, well, you, you find out from God,

291
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:58.560
what we're supposed to do and we'll do it. It sounds good. Right? Same reason why Eve might

292
00:19:58.560 --> 00:19:59.920
have chosen the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

293
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.200
people, because it's only good.

294
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:05.400
It's only people who want to know who want to do good that want to know the

295
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.360
difference between the knowledge of between good and evil, so that they can

296
00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:12.120
know the good things and do the good things and know the evil things, know

297
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:15.680
how to avoid the evil things, evil people that want to do evil things.

298
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.720
They don't care whether it's good or evil.

299
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.120
They're just doing it for themselves, right?

300
00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:20.160
They don't need to know.

301
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:24.680
They're just using whatever they need to, in order to get to, to provide for

302
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.600
themselves, but somebody who wants to do good, wants to know the difference.

303
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.080
So they know which one to pick and which one to avoid problem issues, doing it on

304
00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:35.000
our, on our own, instead of relying on God, because it's safer.

305
00:20:35.800 --> 00:20:42.080
And we, we are, you know, presented with the same thing and God's like, okay.

306
00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:45.840
And just like the Israelites are saying, Hey, look, tell us what to do.

307
00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:48.440
Give us works, tell us what to do.

308
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.080
Give us laws, rules.

309
00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:54.400
So we can, we can use the laws and rules in order to get, in order to follow a

310
00:20:54.400 --> 00:21:00.000
formula, follow a business strategy, you know, follow whatever has been proven to

311
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.600
work, follow some kind of an economic law in order to ensure myself, I'm

312
00:21:03.600 --> 00:21:04.840
going to get a particular result.

313
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.880
If I follow these financial laws, if I follow, follow these economic

314
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.360
laws, if I follow these business laws or society laws or government

315
00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:16.840
laws or whatever, I can predict my security.

316
00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:18.320
I can predict my future.

317
00:21:19.320 --> 00:21:22.760
And and anyway, so that's what it is that we do.

318
00:21:22.760 --> 00:21:24.640
And the Israelites did the same thing.

319
00:21:24.760 --> 00:21:27.680
Tell us what to do and we will do it.

320
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:33.520
They chose not to have operate out of relationship with God, where he was

321
00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:34.720
going to provide for and protect them.

322
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.120
They said, let us do it ourselves.

323
00:21:36.120 --> 00:21:40.320
They even rejected God as their King and said, no, we want our own King.

324
00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:42.520
God said, fine, I'll give you Saul.

325
00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:48.080
Um, but my point in saying both of those examples of, um, about Saul, but

326
00:21:48.080 --> 00:21:52.640
particularly about, um, about where they rejected him on the mountain is it

327
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.400
doesn't mention that they are in, in, um, Exodus, it mentions it later in, in

328
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:02.280
Deuteronomy where Moses is talking to those, those Israelites children, because

329
00:22:02.280 --> 00:22:05.360
those Israelites had died, you know, after 40 years in the wilderness.

330
00:22:05.360 --> 00:22:08.880
And so now he's talking to, to their children and he's relating the story.

331
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.280
And then we hear something about the story that we didn't hear in Exodus

332
00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:13.600
that wasn't recorded in Exodus.

333
00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:17.600
And Moses says, when the Israelites said that when your father said that

334
00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:23.360
God told me what they have said is good, they rejected his covenant of

335
00:22:23.360 --> 00:22:28.880
sonship and God called it good because they chose, they chose to operate

336
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:30.800
according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

337
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.280
And the one that they chose was good.

338
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.680
It was a good thing, but it wasn't relationship.

339
00:22:37.520 --> 00:22:39.520
Everything goes back to relationship.

340
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:42.000
Everything goes back to union, not good and evil.

341
00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:46.400
Um, that's why it's the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, not the

342
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:50.760
true mouth, the knowledge of evil, the knowledge of good and evil.

343
00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:54.080
It doesn't, our lives are not about doing good versus evil.

344
00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:56.680
And God wants us to do all the good things and not avoid all the evil things.

345
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.840
God says, no union with me and relationship because I am good.

346
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:04.360
If you have relationship with me, you will look like your father and

347
00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:07.280
you will always do good, but you will do good because you're, you're

348
00:23:07.280 --> 00:23:08.560
operating out of my character.

349
00:23:08.560 --> 00:23:12.680
My character is the standard for what's good, not objective laws that

350
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:14.320
we've labeled as good or evil.

351
00:23:15.080 --> 00:23:17.120
And that God is even labeled as good or evil.

352
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:19.520
It's really, really big concept here.

353
00:23:19.800 --> 00:23:24.680
So God is a loving God said, okay, the Israelites or if the prodigal son

354
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:29.680
wants to take care of and provide for themselves, I will enable them to.

355
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:32.400
He enabled, we talked about that.

356
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.320
You don't just like, oh, we don't need to enable other people.

357
00:23:34.320 --> 00:23:35.160
God enabled us.

358
00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:38.360
It's like, okay, if you want to do it on your own, I'm a loving father.

359
00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:41.080
I don't want to leave you out there to, to die.

360
00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:44.400
So I'm going to give you a means by which you can provide for yourself.

361
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:47.560
You want to, you want your inheritance now?

362
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:49.720
Well, I know if you go off, you're not going to have any money.

363
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:50.880
So I'm going to give you money.

364
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:54.720
Uh, I can't believe you asked for it early before I died.

365
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:55.480
I'm going to give you money.

366
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:58.160
You can't believe you want to leave me and be separated from me instead of like

367
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.680
biting with me and living with me and enjoying everything relationship and

368
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.800
everything it is that I have.

369
00:24:02.800 --> 00:24:06.680
You want to leave me, but if you are, I know what can happen out there.

370
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.800
So I'm going to give you a means to provide for yourself.

371
00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:12.640
That's what all those laws are, that we have the advantage of it, that we have

372
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:18.000
the opportunity to take advantage of using as business strategies and economic

373
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.200
laws and all those other things and formulas.

374
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:24.040
We have the opportunity to use those, but if we're using those thinking that

375
00:24:24.040 --> 00:24:28.080
that's getting us our result, because we're afraid we, it's not safe enough

376
00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:32.680
with God, that's the problem, but it doesn't make the business strategy or

377
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.880
the formula or using them or the fact that the exist that Satan didn't create

378
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:38.600
them, God did.

379
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:43.840
Um, so anyway, God said, you know, they have asked for a good thing.

380
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.000
So I want us to know that so that we can now use business strategies and

381
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.640
formulas, knowing that in receiving them as good guests from our loving father,

382
00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:57.080
but, but not relying on them as our source.

383
00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:58.920
That's the problem.

384
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.040
That's.

385
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.320
That's why Jesus came to fulfill the law,

386
00:25:02.320 --> 00:25:04.720
or sorry, came not to abolish the law,

387
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.640
just like it mentions in Romans 7, that the law is holy.

388
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.400
The law created death within us.

389
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.120
It said, well, is the law bad?

390
00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:13.040
And is the law death?

391
00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:15.280
And Paul says, no, it's not.

392
00:25:15.280 --> 00:25:18.760
But the existence of it created death within us.

393
00:25:19.800 --> 00:25:24.440
What Jesus did is he didn't abolish the law and ruin it,

394
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:25.540
because he was like, no, it's a good gift

395
00:25:25.540 --> 00:25:27.400
that we want to keep and we want to keep using.

396
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.520
He said, oh, you know, Jesus even used the laws,

397
00:25:30.520 --> 00:25:33.560
but he always did it because he didn't have to rely on them

398
00:25:33.560 --> 00:25:34.600
anymore as his source.

399
00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:36.640
So now that you don't rely on them anymore as your source,

400
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:39.600
now you can use it because you don't need it.

401
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:43.080
Same thing like when you don't need a relationship,

402
00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:44.980
you can finally enjoy it.

403
00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:48.240
When you don't need your business, you can finally enjoy it.

404
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.840
If you don't rely on it, you can finally enjoy it.

405
00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:56.580
So anyway, that Jesus came to fulfill the law

406
00:25:56.580 --> 00:25:59.620
because he said, I want you to use it.

407
00:25:59.620 --> 00:26:00.940
I don't want it to bring,

408
00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:03.660
I don't want it to create death in you

409
00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:06.160
that creates separation between you and me.

410
00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:12.340
Union with me is too important, but operate out of that,

411
00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:15.880
he says, and now that you've operated out of that,

412
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.780
the law can be used.

413
00:26:18.780 --> 00:26:19.940
And I came to fulfill it.

414
00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:20.980
I didn't get rid of it,

415
00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:22.840
because it's not a bad thing to keep using,

416
00:26:22.840 --> 00:26:25.180
but use it from the tree of life,

417
00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:26.580
because now you can enjoy it,

418
00:26:26.580 --> 00:26:28.020
because God's providing for you,

419
00:26:28.020 --> 00:26:30.020
and you no longer need this to provide for you.

420
00:26:30.020 --> 00:26:32.460
So now that you no longer need it, what do you wanna do?

421
00:26:32.460 --> 00:26:33.340
What sounds fun?

422
00:26:33.340 --> 00:26:35.140
Which law is especially fun to use,

423
00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:37.320
and that you especially want to be part of your business?

424
00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:39.540
What marketing strategy, what business strategy,

425
00:26:39.540 --> 00:26:42.440
whatever do you wanna use, because you don't have to.

426
00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:47.940
So what sounds fun, and that's where a lot of the,

427
00:26:49.820 --> 00:26:53.360
where knowledge of things and learning things

428
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.280
from other people who've been in business

429
00:26:55.280 --> 00:26:58.080
is so helpful and so valuable,

430
00:26:58.080 --> 00:26:59.880
is because God has created a plethora

431
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.960
and in a variety of ways in which business

432
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.800
can be successful, and he and you decide together

433
00:27:05.800 --> 00:27:08.120
which ones you want to be part of your business

434
00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:11.080
or your ministry, and then how you operate in life.

435
00:27:13.840 --> 00:27:14.680
Let's see.

436
00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:21.360
Okay, then wanted to mention also that,

437
00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:22.640
talking again about operating according

438
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:24.720
to the tree of life, where God does everything

439
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:26.520
and he creates the result.

440
00:27:26.520 --> 00:27:29.480
I wanted to mention three examples

441
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.640
out of multiple in scripture, in which God makes covenant,

442
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.720
in other words, creates the result, gets us something,

443
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:39.280
while the beneficiary, which is us, was asleep,

444
00:27:39.280 --> 00:27:40.680
put completely to rest.

445
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:45.240
So Abraham was made covenant, that God made covenant

446
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.360
while he put Abraham to sleep.

447
00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:49.240
Remember when Abraham built that altar,

448
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:51.480
and then he divided the turtle,

449
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.680
I think it was the doves in half,

450
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:54.400
and he laid all of this out on the altar

451
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.400
and that fire passed through and all that.

452
00:27:58.280 --> 00:28:00.480
He put Abraham into a deep sleep,

453
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.200
and I always thought that was the strangest thing.

454
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.640
In fact, I was a little condemning of Abraham.

455
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:06.560
I was like, hey, look, dude,

456
00:28:06.560 --> 00:28:08.440
this is a very important moment.

457
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:09.760
Why are you going to sleep?

458
00:28:09.760 --> 00:28:11.360
I mean, seriously, am I the only one who thought that?

459
00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:12.880
I'm like, I do not get it.

460
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.640
How could this giant of the faith have gone to sleep

461
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.040
when the God of the universe is right in front of him,

462
00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:21.280
doing all kinds of things and making covenant?

463
00:28:21.280 --> 00:28:23.560
You know, that, hey, I will make of you of many nations

464
00:28:23.560 --> 00:28:24.720
and all of that.

465
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:28.760
Because it was a symbol that God's like, I do everything.

466
00:28:28.760 --> 00:28:31.240
You just get to benefit.

467
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.040
It's talked about in Hebrews.

468
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.000
Oh, I wish I could remember.

469
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.400
I think it's Hebrews 6, where it talks about the fact

470
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.320
that God made covenant with himself,

471
00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:42.720
implying through all of that,

472
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.400
that when it says that Abraham will receive the benefit,

473
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:47.840
Abraham is the third party beneficiary.

474
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:50.160
In other words, he's not part,

475
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:53.640
he's not one of the parties that is held responsible

476
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:55.360
to make the thing happen.

477
00:28:55.360 --> 00:28:58.760
God made covenant with himself,

478
00:28:58.760 --> 00:29:01.800
because it said that he had no other way by which to make,

479
00:29:01.800 --> 00:29:05.840
no higher way other than himself by which to make an oath.

480
00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:07.840
So he made it with himself.

481
00:29:07.840 --> 00:29:09.600
Abraham just got to benefit.

482
00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:10.920
So God does everything,

483
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:13.120
and it's not reliant on our behavior.

484
00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:16.160
It's not anything that we do or don't do.

485
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.640
We just get to benefit from it.

486
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:20.360
But in order to benefit from it,

487
00:29:20.360 --> 00:29:23.320
we receive what it is he's done.

488
00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:27.760
So Abraham was put to sleep when God made covenant.

489
00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:32.160
Also, Adam, and I am saying these out of order,

490
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.400
Adam was put to sleep when God created his bride.

491
00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:38.440
Excuse me.

492
00:29:39.320 --> 00:29:41.800
Adam didn't go out and seek her, didn't work for her,

493
00:29:41.800 --> 00:29:43.720
didn't go try to find her.

494
00:29:43.800 --> 00:29:46.600
God put him to sleep, put him to rest,

495
00:29:46.600 --> 00:29:47.880
and then created his bride.

496
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.240
And then he woke, he received the benefit.

497
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:53.720
And then there's covenant in marriage, right?

498
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.840
God did all of that.

499
00:29:54.840 --> 00:29:56.040
He did all of the work.

500
00:29:56.040 --> 00:29:57.560
Adam just got to benefit.

501
00:29:57.560 --> 00:30:00.120
But God is the one who gave him and his bride.

502
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.920
paid for his work. Then there's also Jesus and the fact that Jesus was put to sleep,

503
00:30:08.560 --> 00:30:16.160
death. Jesus was put to sleep for death, symbolizing rest, when God gave him his bride.

504
00:30:17.280 --> 00:30:23.520
So those are just three examples, oops, three examples out of many, in which God, which,

505
00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:29.040
you know, indicates to us and through which God pictures the fact that when God does anything,

506
00:30:29.040 --> 00:30:35.920
he is doing it and he holds himself responsible. We're just the third party beneficiary of it.

507
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:40.160
So when we do anything in business and we're relying on something in business or, okay,

508
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:44.960
Lord, you know, I need money. And I mean, it could be through the business or it could not be for it.

509
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:51.040
We're relying on God for something, protection, provision, whatever, regardless of if it's

510
00:30:51.040 --> 00:30:55.360
something outside of business or if it's in business itself. You know, glory, you know,

511
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.080
there's this, that, and the other coming up where I've got this business venture and Lord,

512
00:31:00.080 --> 00:31:04.400
is it going to succeed? Or Lord, you know, I'm coming up the deadline. It looks like it's not

513
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:12.720
going to succeed. And it's, God wants us to remember and choose that he said he's going

514
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:18.960
to create the result. And the result of the business venture is not based on your behavior,

515
00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:26.320
like as in doing right or wrong or good or bad or whether or whatever. Yes, there are actions

516
00:31:26.320 --> 00:31:33.360
that we take and there's ways in which he fathers us and matures us as a son to learn things and to

517
00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:38.800
act on what it is that we learn. We learn that these are wise things to do. And God is indicating

518
00:31:38.800 --> 00:31:44.400
to us that we need to actually be active and do something. So we do it. We start making phone

519
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:50.080
calls, we start researching, we start whatever, but we don't get the stress and the anxiety of,

520
00:31:50.080 --> 00:31:56.080
oh my goodness, if I don't, if I don't make that, we attach to the phone calls that we attach to

521
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:01.200
that we attach to the research that we attach to trying to find a solution because, oh my goodness,

522
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:08.320
if I don't, if I, if that, that tomorrow and the deadline and the result of it is all weighing on

523
00:32:08.320 --> 00:32:16.800
whether or not I can magically find the answer. And what we can then also do is because we think

524
00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:20.160
that because it's coming from this perspective that I'm abandoned and alone and I'm having to

525
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:27.120
do it all on my own. We think God is going to get, uh, uh, we use it as accusation against God of

526
00:32:27.120 --> 00:32:32.400
like, God, why aren't you helping me? God, why aren't you blessing the venture? God, you know,

527
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:36.400
I'm only human. All these things that we say, God, you know, I'm only human and you can do anything.

528
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:41.840
Why aren't you doing it? You're the one who gave me this business venture. That sound very familiar.

529
00:32:41.840 --> 00:32:48.640
The woman that you gave me go, you gave me this business venture and, but you are hindering me

530
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:52.880
from actually being able to be successful in it and keep me in right standing with you.

531
00:32:54.400 --> 00:33:00.000
We use all of these things as constant accusation against God, not because we're not choosing to

532
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:05.440
believe that if he says that he's going to create the result that he really is holding himself

533
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:14.000
responsible for the results. He just allows us to, uh, and advises and is maturing us in how to

534
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:21.920
research and how to, um, uh, how to find particular solutions, come up with ideas, seek him. Cause

535
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:28.800
remember it's the honor of Kings to seek something out. But if you, if the weight and the burden of

536
00:33:28.800 --> 00:33:34.240
having or not of getting or not getting a result based on your performance, if you were relieved

537
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:40.720
from that, then it's fun to do all the activity. The reason we don't like the activity we as people,

538
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:46.800
we love work. God created us for work, not strife, but work. So if we're now relieved

539
00:33:46.800 --> 00:33:51.600
at the burden that we've always associated with work that, Oh my goodness, if I don't do this,

540
00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:57.840
then that, that, that, and that the, that the result is that I'm carrying the burden of the

541
00:33:57.840 --> 00:34:04.800
result based on my actions. If we're relieved at that, the actions are fun. I mean, you think of

542
00:34:04.800 --> 00:34:09.920
all kinds of things that you do as hobbies that other people would call work. Why is that fun for

543
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:15.360
you? Why do you not associate work with it? Because you enjoy it because you're relieved of, uh,

544
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:22.239
because the results of it, you don't feel a burden of actually that, that, that the result is saying

545
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:28.080
or not saying something about you. So it leaves you free to enjoy it. And you end up people who,

546
00:34:28.080 --> 00:34:35.280
who work, do things out of hobby entity end up usually being a lot better at whatever it is

547
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:40.239
that they're doing than people who, who feel like they're being forced to work at it in order to

548
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:45.840
create a particular result because the people who use it as a hobby or just are more at rest in it.

549
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.560
Anyway, that's what it is that God's inviting us to do in the difference between, um, uh, the tree

550
00:34:50.560 --> 00:34:59.840
of life versus the tree of knowledge of evil, uh, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Um, uh, and then

551
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.640
I'll leave you with this on that. And we'll move now into the three realms that recommend that you

552
00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:12.960
look at Luke 12 starting in verse 22. I don't remember how far it goes, but Luke 12 starting

553
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:18.880
in verse 22 talks about where Jesus is saying, you know, do not worry. Do not worry about what

554
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:24.880
you shall eat or drink or whatever. Those things are literal. He's not talking figuratively. He's

555
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:31.120
literally saying, do not worry about, about your food, not worry about your clothes. He said,

556
00:35:31.120 --> 00:35:37.120
if God is clothing and feeding the, the sparrows and the lilies, then, you know, feeding the

557
00:35:37.120 --> 00:35:42.560
sparrows, you know, clothing and lilies, and they are provided. He said, and they don't store

558
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:49.120
anything in barns or anything. They, um, and he said, if God will provide for them,

559
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.720
then, and you're more important to him, to him than they are, then he'll do it for you too.

560
00:35:55.360 --> 00:36:03.600
We all know these verses that we have to abandon ourselves to actually rely on God to such an

561
00:36:03.600 --> 00:36:08.560
extent that it makes it very real in our lives, that he really is providing our food. He really

562
00:36:08.560 --> 00:36:14.400
is providing our, um, you know, the results in our business or, or whatever. Um, and, uh,

563
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:22.320
so anyway, um, okay. So in talking about the realms, we are going to go through this one

564
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:27.760
ultra quickly because I think y'all, I think everybody in here has already heard it. So,

565
00:36:28.720 --> 00:36:37.280
and talking about, hopefully this is right side for y'all. Okay. Um, so in, um, in that it's not

566
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.000
backwards, is this, is this right for y'all? Can y'all, is it right to left? Okay, good.

567
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:47.840
All right. So we have spirit, soul, and body. We'll go through this really fast. So, um, that,

568
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:52.960
you know, that, that this is the three parts of, um, three aspects of us, but the seat of

569
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.360
our identity is in our spirit. Now, if we believe that the seat of our identity is,

570
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:02.160
is defined by our soul and whatever's happening up in here or in our body, whatever's happening

571
00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:10.160
here, then it, then, um, that is when we're in unrest because the, in the, the reason for that

572
00:37:10.160 --> 00:37:14.080
is because the seat of our identity, the seat of our identity being in our spirit, this is the

573
00:37:14.080 --> 00:37:19.040
place in which we're one with God. And then down here, this is, this is what God is referring to

574
00:37:19.040 --> 00:37:25.200
when he refers to our flesh, not just our body, but also our soul. All of this is flesh. Um,

575
00:37:25.200 --> 00:37:31.920
all of this is creation in a way. Think of this as, as uncreated because it came out of God.

576
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:35.920
Technically you could say that, well, it was created because that was the process of creation

577
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:40.320
was taken out of God, whatever, just for intensive purposes. You just think of this,

578
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:44.160
like it's uncreated because it's of the essence of God and it came out of him and God has been

579
00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:49.680
created. This right here is created in it. This is creation. It's important because it's the first

580
00:37:49.680 --> 00:37:54.640
aspect of creation that God wants us to release from frustration that he talks about in Romans

581
00:37:54.640 --> 00:38:00.560
eight says that we're called to, uh, that the, all of creation is groaning, um, waiting for

582
00:38:00.560 --> 00:38:06.480
the manifestation of the sense of God. And it is subject to frustration. It also, and Paul goes on

583
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:12.800
to specify in there. So even our own bodies, even ourselves are an aspect of creation that is

584
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:19.760
groaning for us, um, to relieve it. Uh, but anyway, so these, so think of these as like three

585
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:25.280
different realms and ways in which we can approach life. We can approach life thinking our identity

586
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:30.880
is on our body. In other words, believing that we are dependent on the knowledge, our knowledge

587
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:38.080
of earthly laws in order to keep ourselves safe. Remember being protected, being protected or

588
00:38:38.080 --> 00:38:44.000
provided for that. Okay. Well, you know, what do I know about economic laws? What do I know about,

589
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:49.360
um, scientific laws of like, I don't know how, how health works, uh, you know, uh, medication,

590
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:54.640
you know, am I using essential oils or am I using Tylenol or, um, you know, I don't know,

591
00:38:54.640 --> 00:39:00.480
financial laws or, or whatever, um, in order to provide for myself, what it is that I need,

592
00:39:01.120 --> 00:39:07.040
what laws are out there that I need to learn in order to create a particular result.

593
00:39:07.040 --> 00:39:13.600
Because if I don't know something, then my business will fail that might, because then we're,

594
00:39:13.600 --> 00:39:18.240
we're relying on our knowledge or our lack of knowledge in order to be successful in our

595
00:39:18.240 --> 00:39:23.520
business. And God said, no, no, I create the results for you. So you have to, we have to

596
00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:27.520
relieve that we have to relieve the fact that we're not dependent on what it is. We know we're

597
00:39:27.520 --> 00:39:33.440
don't know we're not met. Um, so that we can stop chasing this idea that there's all these business

598
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:41.120
group gurus out there that know some secret that is finally going to be, um, the thing that, uh,

599
00:39:41.120 --> 00:39:46.720
will give our business success. We can use those things, but remember we can only use them,

600
00:39:47.680 --> 00:39:52.000
you know, use our knowledge of, of, of earthly and spiritual laws.

601
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:56.960
If we're operating out of the tree of the knowledge, a tree of life, meaning that we,

602
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:59.840
we believe that God is the source of everything. Now that we've.

603
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.120
believe that God can do it no matter what we do. Now, what

604
00:40:03.120 --> 00:40:08.240
sounds fun? Which ones does he in maturing me as a son of God,

605
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:12.320
say, hey, look, let's let's use this law. Let's use this one,

606
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:15.320
because this would be fun. We could have used anyone, you

607
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.520
know, but we're going to use this one. It's why everybody's

608
00:40:17.520 --> 00:40:19.840
business, by the way, looks different. And everybody uses

609
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:25.480
different strategies. And anyway, that that's a different

610
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:28.400
subject to go into. But if we believe that our identity is on

611
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:32.960
our soul, then we believe that we are protected or provided for

612
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:36.480
love, like whatever, loved, liked, whatever, based on what

613
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:39.400
it is we know or don't know about the spiritual laws,

614
00:40:39.600 --> 00:40:43.680
spiritual laws, referring to things like tithing, my tithing

615
00:40:43.680 --> 00:40:48.840
or not tithing. And if that is going to give me favor with God

616
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:51.240
or make me successful in my business or not make me

617
00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:54.600
insistent, successful in my business, am I tithing or not?

618
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:57.400
Because if we start looking at, okay, why are things not

619
00:40:57.400 --> 00:40:59.680
working in my business? Why are things not working in my

620
00:40:59.680 --> 00:41:04.200
ministry? Why? Maybe why has God given me a vision, but he

621
00:41:04.200 --> 00:41:07.720
hasn't allowed it to come to fruition? Why do I keep getting

622
00:41:07.720 --> 00:41:13.160
obstacles stuck in my way? Am I doing or not doing something? If

623
00:41:13.160 --> 00:41:16.680
we think that we are dependent on something outside of his

624
00:41:16.680 --> 00:41:21.520
character, and that is causing our pain, then it means that

625
00:41:21.560 --> 00:41:24.920
then we're going to start that means that we believe that our

626
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:29.320
identity is in our soul. And that are the essence of who it

627
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:33.640
is that we are is down there. And that we are dependent on

628
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:37.920
what it is that we know or don't know in order to be safe. And

629
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.720
God says, No, that's not true. It is not what you know, and

630
00:41:41.720 --> 00:41:46.120
don't know, that helps you and you using that for your benefit.

631
00:41:47.080 --> 00:41:51.080
Or you're being hurt because you don't know something that

632
00:41:51.080 --> 00:41:53.120
somebody else knew. And oh, my word, if you just gone to that

633
00:41:53.120 --> 00:41:54.960
event, this Congress, then you would have known this, and then

634
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:57.720
you would have been successful. If we if we think that then

635
00:41:57.720 --> 00:42:00.640
we're not relying on the Lord, and we're declaring that he's

636
00:42:00.640 --> 00:42:03.240
not as good as he says that he is, because he says he's so

637
00:42:03.240 --> 00:42:08.120
good, that, that we are that we exist and are completely

638
00:42:08.120 --> 00:42:11.680
sustained in everything that we need provision, protection, no

639
00:42:11.680 --> 00:42:15.320
love, like, you know, identity and to be comforted, completely

640
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:20.040
because he is who he says that he is, not even because he does

641
00:42:20.040 --> 00:42:24.240
what he says that he does. That's an extension of him

642
00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:29.040
expressing who he is. So going all the way back to the root,

643
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:34.560
that he is who he says that he is. And that creates and

644
00:42:34.560 --> 00:42:38.200
manifests everything in our life. And he wants us to rely

645
00:42:38.200 --> 00:42:42.160
completely on that. See, was there something else I wanted to

646
00:42:42.160 --> 00:42:44.520
mention about that before we move on trying to make this very

647
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:51.400
Okay, so this is something well, I mentioned that. Okay, yeah. So

648
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.520
how do we how do we shift between these realms? I'm not

649
00:42:55.520 --> 00:42:58.520
even talking about rest yet. But how how if God says that we're

650
00:42:58.520 --> 00:43:01.080
here, but we but we think that we're here, we think that we're

651
00:43:01.080 --> 00:43:04.720
here. How do we get from here, you know, into one of these

652
00:43:04.720 --> 00:43:09.880
other one of these other places. It's based on our unbelief. So

653
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:12.760
operating from the Spirit means that we believe that God is who

654
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:16.480
says yes. But if we drop down and like, say, for instance,

655
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:19.160
into our soul or into our body, thinking our identity is down

656
00:43:19.160 --> 00:43:22.720
there, then it means that we have some kind of an accusation

657
00:43:22.720 --> 00:43:26.200
against God that God says, Oh, you know what, I'm this good.

658
00:43:26.600 --> 00:43:30.200
We're like, No, you're part of that. But you're not completely

659
00:43:30.200 --> 00:43:35.040
that. So you're not that good. You're better than this. But

660
00:43:35.240 --> 00:43:41.000
you're not as good as this. And so it's an accusation that we

661
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:44.480
bring against God of unbelief, that he's not as good as he says

662
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:47.760
yes. And if we have even further accusation against God, it's

663
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.160
like dropping down in and believing that our identity is

664
00:43:51.160 --> 00:43:54.760
down into our is down in our body. So that is the difference

665
00:43:54.760 --> 00:44:00.240
between that is how we are operating in different in

666
00:44:00.240 --> 00:44:04.760
different realms is based off of how of what it is that we're

667
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:09.240
believing about how good God is, and whether or not the how much

668
00:44:09.240 --> 00:44:13.200
that we're believing about what he says about himself, to what

669
00:44:13.200 --> 00:44:16.160
degree is, for instance, and the reason I keep mentioning the

670
00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:19.400
degree is, we all we all say that we believe that God loves

671
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:24.600
us. But if our lives are only manifesting the degree to which

672
00:44:24.600 --> 00:44:29.320
we actually do believe that. So if we believe it, like 1%, well,

673
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.600
then 1% of that is 1% of God's love is going to manifest itself

674
00:44:32.600 --> 00:44:38.640
into our life, so to speak. And the and then, because it's based

675
00:44:38.680 --> 00:44:41.640
on what it is that we believe, or if we believe 30%, well, then

676
00:44:41.640 --> 00:44:46.880
30%, etc. It's so we say, Well, God, you know, I believe you, I

677
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:50.840
believe you this much, but not this much. That's why I'm why I

678
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:54.480
continually refer back to the degree of it, we are believing

679
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:58.480
in to an extent in various areas about what he said, but always

680
00:44:58.480 --> 00:44:59.600
know that

681
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:04.560
Part of the reason I wanted to point this out is, have you noticed that when you go through

682
00:45:04.560 --> 00:45:08.320
something very painful and you find yourself in that situation again, it can get very discouraging

683
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:12.800
because you're thinking, I thought we already dealt with this Lord. And God's like, you didn't.

684
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:18.800
But now it's a deeper level of accusation you had against me. You learned that I loved you

685
00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:24.160
last time that we did this. You learned that I loved you. Now though, you're needing to learn

686
00:45:24.160 --> 00:45:30.880
that I love you more than you were, than you have believed are currently believing that I love you.

687
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:34.720
I need you. You have the opportunity to believe that I love you even more than that.

688
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:41.680
It's layers. So relieve yourself of shame and condemnation. If it feels like here we are again,

689
00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:45.520
Lord, I thought I've learned this lesson. Remember here, that old Calvinistic mindset,

690
00:45:46.240 --> 00:45:52.400
mindset I'm going, I thought I've learned this lesson. My God's like, no, you did, but this is

691
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:57.760
a deeper level. You need to know that I love you more than what you've, what you are believing that

692
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:02.320
I, that I do. So that's why I'm always talking about, not just believing that he loves us,

693
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:07.600
not just leaving his goodness, not just believing what it is he says, but to the degree that he

694
00:46:07.600 --> 00:46:15.360
says that he is that, and it's always better. And it's always more good. Let's see again,

695
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:20.000
you know, knowledge of these things is a good thing. Jesus himself used all of them. He ate,

696
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:26.640
you know, just like in the body. He ate, he even ate, he even ate when his spirit had,

697
00:46:26.640 --> 00:46:31.920
when his body had transformed and became a spiritual body, he ate fish in front of them

698
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:37.360
when he died and rose again. And he, he even ate then. So, you know, he lost for a good thing.

699
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:44.560
There's nothing wrong with them. And, and what God wants us to do is he wants us to govern these

700
00:46:44.560 --> 00:46:49.680
things. That's what I'm talking about. When I talk about the fact that once we don't rely on

701
00:46:49.680 --> 00:46:55.120
them, we can use them. We govern them because here is our seat. We are seated in Christ. We

702
00:46:55.120 --> 00:46:59.840
are seated in heavenly places. He is on the throne. All power and authority has been put under

703
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:03.920
his feet. So therefore all power and authority has, or not power and authority, all power and

704
00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:08.880
authority is in him and everything has been put under his feet. Therefore it's been put under our

705
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:15.520
feet. So if we're in a, in a position of power and authority of kingship, then it means that what

706
00:47:15.600 --> 00:47:22.000
does a king do? A king governs. He governs his kingdom. You govern your flesh. You govern the

707
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:30.240
knowledge. You govern spiritual laws. You govern earthly laws. And he's maturing us into being able

708
00:47:30.240 --> 00:47:38.720
to do that. So, so we were already there in our identity, but he's maturing us, especially, you

709
00:47:38.720 --> 00:47:41.840
know, particularly in our soul and our body. I think that there might, there's a measure in

710
00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:47.920
which our spirits are being matured as well, but it's just any, but just to make this concept

711
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:55.120
simple, he's maturing us in our soul and our body to the point where we can actually learn how to

712
00:47:55.120 --> 00:48:03.200
act like our father and govern laws, govern earthly laws, govern spiritual laws, where they listen to

713
00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:09.680
us, where we talk to our body and we tell it to heal. And it does, where we talk to a tree, just

714
00:48:09.680 --> 00:48:15.920
like Jesus talked to the fig tree and he cursed it and it died. It's governing. It's governing

715
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:21.520
laws. But he's maturing us into that. So there's an aspect in which we, we, we already have

716
00:48:21.520 --> 00:48:28.000
everything. Think of it like a mantle. I wonder if I have this picture. Oh, bummer. I don't think I do.

717
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.640
So think of it like a mantle that you're given when you're four years old, like a, like a,

718
00:48:32.640 --> 00:48:38.480
like a robe for a, for a king that you've got, that you're four years old. So you're really,

719
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:42.800
really short in this and, and think that, you know, this, this train of this robe is like,

720
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:46.240
you know, like God's train that built the temple. The train of this robe is like, I don't know,

721
00:48:46.240 --> 00:48:49.760
like six yards long or whatever. Cause I think that that's what queen Elizabeth's coronation

722
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:55.440
robe is, is that, that long. It's very, very heavy. It's extremely heavy. And so if you're

723
00:48:55.440 --> 00:49:00.720
four years old, you can't carry all that you're given all of it. But the only amount that you

724
00:49:00.720 --> 00:49:10.400
bear the weight of is the amount. I wish I could this really quick is the extent to which you are.

725
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:19.440
Hi. Okay. So here, so say you're four years old. The only amount of that, of that mantle that

726
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:23.120
you're bearing the weight of, and that you're held responsible for is the amount between your

727
00:49:23.120 --> 00:49:27.280
shoulders and the ground, because that's how high you are. That's only the amount of strength that

728
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:33.040
you have to be able to bear that, but you were given all of it. You're just not mature enough

729
00:49:33.040 --> 00:49:38.160
to be able to operate in all of it yet, but you already have it. And as you get taller,

730
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:43.200
you know, then your body, it means that your body is strengthening and therefore it pulls

731
00:49:43.200 --> 00:49:48.160
that more of the mantle. That's, that's what that is. So you're given all of it,

732
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:53.760
but we operate in more and more of it as we mature. So I wanted to, to, to, you know,

733
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:57.680
to kind of like show how that works, because otherwise just kind of without that picture,

734
00:49:57.680 --> 00:49:59.840
sometimes it's kind of like, that just sounds totally.

735
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.720
contradictory. That's how we're able to have everything, but we don't see it manifest,

736
00:50:05.680 --> 00:50:09.120
you know, fully in our lives right now, because we haven't matured to the point that we know how

737
00:50:09.120 --> 00:50:14.080
to be, how to do it, how to be responsible with it. The same thing with your, with your business,

738
00:50:14.080 --> 00:50:21.360
we'll be talking more in more detail about that after lunch, but how you can, you don't have to

739
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:28.640
feel that God is calling you to, to operate in every single area, expecting you to operate in

740
00:50:28.640 --> 00:50:34.560
every single area of your business in complete rest all the time, because none of us, including

741
00:50:34.560 --> 00:50:39.760
me, are mature enough in our soul and our body. And I'm just going to say, you know, assume that

742
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:44.960
about everybody, uh, are mature enough in our soul and our body to be able to do that yet.

743
00:50:45.600 --> 00:50:51.280
We don't know how we never have done it. Our spirit knows, but our body and our soul don't

744
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:57.520
know how to do that yet. So you're not expected to do something that, that God, because he created

745
00:50:57.520 --> 00:51:02.240
there to be a process such as a maturation. In other words, you're born a baby. You're not born

746
00:51:02.240 --> 00:51:07.520
an adult and a baby isn't expected and how accountable to know everything that an adult

747
00:51:07.520 --> 00:51:14.080
knows and to act like an adult. He can be a baby. When you're five, you can be fine. When you're

748
00:51:14.080 --> 00:51:18.640
five, you're not expected to act like you're 25. Your parents don't expect it of you. God doesn't

749
00:51:18.640 --> 00:51:24.560
expect it of you. Same thing in spiritual maturity. If you were five years old in a particular area of

750
00:51:24.560 --> 00:51:28.080
your spiritual walk, not your whole spiritual walk, but just a particular area that you and

751
00:51:28.080 --> 00:51:35.040
God are working on, you can be fine. God does not hold you in condemnation for not being 25 yet.

752
00:51:36.080 --> 00:51:42.640
If you're five, God is not enduring you in your phase because you're not somewhere else. He's

753
00:51:42.640 --> 00:51:47.840
like, no, I'm the one who created the phases. I'm the one who created things to develop into mature.

754
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:54.480
And I only create good things. And I created four years old because it was a good phase.

755
00:51:55.040 --> 00:52:01.760
And I created five years old because it was a good phase. So where you are is good. So you're

756
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:08.320
not in a bad place, constantly trying to get to the good one. And God's just enduring you until

757
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:16.160
you get there. You're where you're in a process that God actually created each step of. So anyway,

758
00:52:16.160 --> 00:52:19.200
anyway, be relieved of shame and condemnation for that.

759
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:26.960
So is there anything else I wanted to get to before we're talking about shifting and

760
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:30.800
duress? And so we'll talk about shifting and duress just really quickly, and then we'll break

761
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:37.760
for lunch. Is there anything I just, okay, yes, I do want to, we're going to talk about this later.

762
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:42.160
But just because I have the chart, I'm going to mention that talking about, you know, governing

763
00:52:42.160 --> 00:52:50.160
creation, releasing it from frustration. This is our destiny right here is releasing is well,

764
00:52:50.160 --> 00:52:54.720
okay. Let me back up. Cause that didn't make sense the way I worded it. Remember that your purpose

765
00:52:54.720 --> 00:52:59.280
for existence is not your business. It's not your ministry. It's not doing something for God.

766
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:03.920
I don't care if he told you, you know, Hey, I want you to write a book, you know, or I want you to

767
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:07.120
have this business, or I want you to have this ministry. That is not why you were put on this

768
00:53:07.120 --> 00:53:13.920
earth. You are in existence for relationship with God because you were created so to speak

769
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:20.400
before the earth ever was God shows us in him. Ephesians one says, God chose us in him before

770
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:25.600
the creation of the world, you were created. You were taken out of him and reinserted. And

771
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:32.640
in order to have relationship with him. So your purpose for existence is relationship with God.

772
00:53:32.640 --> 00:53:36.000
And God is enjoying the journey of the development of that relationship.

773
00:53:36.640 --> 00:53:42.880
That is why you're here. It's not to accomplish something. And then later after that, after we

774
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:48.160
existed, then God created the earth. And then he created our souls and our bodies, you know,

775
00:53:48.160 --> 00:53:54.080
it's part of creation, all of that. And so the whole point of this is to make, take what is

776
00:53:54.080 --> 00:53:59.520
invisible, which is an invisible God and us looking like our father, our spirits are invisible as

777
00:53:59.520 --> 00:54:05.280
well. It's taking invisible things, the kingdom of God, what it talks about in the Lord's prayer,

778
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:12.640
whatever is in heaven and making it visible on earth. So what it is that we're doing. In other

779
00:54:12.640 --> 00:54:18.320
words, our destiny is to make visible the development of our relationship that is

780
00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:23.920
happening in the spirit. What, what does the development of your relationship with God look

781
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:30.320
like in the spirit? And God wants you to make that visible in your soul and in your body.

782
00:54:31.600 --> 00:54:38.640
And so that's why we all, that's why as we learn and grow in faith in the Lord,

783
00:54:38.640 --> 00:54:42.160
our souls and our bodies change. They're being transformed, be transformed by the

784
00:54:42.160 --> 00:54:47.200
renewing of your mind, work out your salvation. Remember Paul talks about that,

785
00:54:48.160 --> 00:54:52.240
the working out of your salvation. That's what it's referring to. You're already saved.

786
00:54:52.240 --> 00:54:59.840
This isn't like a, a becoming more and more saved. He's saying, work it out, make it visible.

787
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.480
the reality actually take on a visible form. It has an invisible form. So take the invisible form

788
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:13.280
and then translate it into a visible form. Make it visible. Take the development of your

789
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:20.080
relationship and actually make that visible. And when you do, that is what makes it, that's what

790
00:55:20.080 --> 00:55:26.160
releases creation from frustration. Because it says that the creation is waiting for the

791
00:55:26.160 --> 00:55:30.400
manifestation of the sons of God, the manifestation, bringing the invisible and

792
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:40.800
making it into a visible form, the manifestation of the sons of God. So that releases creation

793
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:47.520
from frustration when a son of God makes himself known. When your spirit presents itself to your

794
00:55:47.520 --> 00:55:52.960
soul and your soul has an opportunity to respond and to believe. Because if it believes your spirit,

795
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:57.520
because your spirit is always in, it is always in, it remembers the new man and always believes

796
00:55:57.520 --> 00:56:02.640
your father. Your soul is afraid of your spirit. I'm getting really ahead of myself here into

797
00:56:02.640 --> 00:56:07.520
after lunch topic, but your soul is afraid of your spirit because your spirit always believes God

798
00:56:07.520 --> 00:56:14.400
and your soul doesn't believe God. So your, so what we want is we want our soul to not be so

799
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:18.960
afraid of our spirit because our spirit is repeating whatever God's saying. And our soul

800
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:26.880
finds that very unsafe, finds God a very unsafe place. And so if our, the more that our soul comes

801
00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:32.000
into choosing to believe that what our spirit said, who is just repeating what God said is true,

802
00:56:32.560 --> 00:56:37.280
will then once our soul begins to believe that then our body who always looks to our soul for

803
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:43.280
what to do and what to believe, then it will start to change. And that's how you get physical healing.

804
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:48.080
That's how, that's how things in your business transform as well. Cause again, body is in like

805
00:56:48.080 --> 00:56:51.920
the physical, uh, the physical earth and things that are happening in your business and whatever,

806
00:56:52.560 --> 00:56:57.760
it will start to change as well because everything's coming into agreement and alignment

807
00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:02.960
with what is already true in the spirit, that what your relationship and the development of

808
00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:09.440
your relationship with God looks like in the spirit that, um, uh, and so who the son of God

809
00:57:09.440 --> 00:57:14.480
is because the spirit's presenting itself to his soul and saying, Hey, receive me presenting himself

810
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:20.560
as a spirit, presenting himself as a, as a king as presenting himself as a son of God for this.

811
00:57:20.560 --> 00:57:27.840
And then it says that creation is waiting for the sons to reveal themselves, including your own soul,

812
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:34.320
including your own body, because it was created to respond to when it saw a son of God. Now it can

813
00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:38.720
choose how it wants to respond. And we saw what happened to the fig tree when the fig tree did not

814
00:57:38.720 --> 00:57:43.280
choose to receive God. It chose not to receive Jesus because Jesus, you know, when said, Hey,

815
00:57:43.280 --> 00:57:47.120
look, you haven't given me fruit. You haven't served me. Even though it's not your season,

816
00:57:47.120 --> 00:57:52.560
you haven't served me as a son of God. And you cursed it because the big tree had as an aspect

817
00:57:52.560 --> 00:57:57.440
of creation, just like your soul or your body has an opportunity. It has a free will, but how does

818
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:06.000
it, how does it want to respond? Um, but, um, it does, it was created to respond to a son of God,

819
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:10.960
but it has a choice as to whether or not it wants to, but that is, that is our destiny. So I wanted

820
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:17.200
to point that out really quick. Um, and, um, and okay, I'm going to throw one more thing in here,

821
00:58:17.200 --> 00:58:21.120
just because if I don't, I think that you might all find it very important and very,

822
00:58:21.120 --> 00:58:24.880
um, very significant. And if I don't mention it now, we're not ever going to mention it.

823
00:58:24.880 --> 00:58:28.720
We're not ever going to get to it. And I just want to talk just real quickly about spiritual

824
00:58:28.720 --> 00:58:33.600
warfare, just because I think you'd find it interesting. If everything is under your feet,

825
00:58:33.600 --> 00:58:38.320
that means that everything, including any spiritual warfare laws are under your feet.

826
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:43.120
You govern them. You're intended to govern them. You do not need them to overcome Satan.

827
00:58:43.120 --> 00:58:47.440
You do not need to know demons. You do not need to know their names. You do not need to do all

828
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:52.480
of this work to go through any kind of deliverance to deliverance stuff in order to be free. You can

829
00:58:53.200 --> 00:58:57.440
because God only creates good laws and you can learn them and you can use them because God says

830
00:58:57.440 --> 00:59:00.640
they're good. And he says, Hey, you can learn about all this stuff and you can use it because

831
00:59:00.640 --> 00:59:08.000
it works, but he wants us to always know we're free and that we don't have to. I use these laws

832
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:14.960
but I don't always, sometimes I use these laws to fight Satan because my soul is just struggling

833
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:19.520
too much to have the faith that I need to have the faith to believe that what God said really

834
00:59:19.520 --> 00:59:25.120
is true to the degree that he said that he is that in particular areas of my life. And so if

835
00:59:25.120 --> 00:59:29.920
I'm struggling, I will go through, okay. So, you know, and I'll, I'll do, you know, certain things

836
00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:35.280
that, you know, use certain tools that I've learned from like deliverance ministries or teachers or

837
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:40.960
whoever, and I use them and they work, but I will tell you that I did have to go through,

838
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:44.720
take myself through one of those sessions by myself with the Lord. One of those sessions

839
00:59:44.720 --> 00:59:49.600
for something I was really struggling with in, um, kind of, it was forgiveness, but it was like

840
00:59:49.600 --> 00:59:53.600
an addition to forgiveness. Anyway, I was trying, it was forgiveness and submission of myself in

841
00:59:53.600 --> 00:59:59.520
that particular area to the Lord. It took me four hours. That's a lot of work. I was

842
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:07.600
exhausted. And God says that what I have and I have a right to to choose in him is if I believe

843
01:00:07.600 --> 01:00:15.120
that he is who he says that he is, that immediately will free me from any kind of demonic oppression

844
01:00:15.120 --> 01:00:22.880
or unforgiveness or whatever grudge I'm holding or whatever. I have that opportunity to choose it

845
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:29.120
when I can. So always know there's more love, there's more freedom, there's more opportunity,

846
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:35.680
but if you're not there yet in certain areas of your life, there is no condemnation to do what I

847
01:00:35.680 --> 01:00:42.800
do, which is use a law if I need to, and to learn about it, to use a spiritual law.

848
01:00:43.600 --> 01:00:48.480
How do I, how do I battle in spiritual warfare? Do I need to go back through my bloodline?

849
01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:53.200
Do I need to do whatever? No, you do not have to. But if your faith is weak,

850
01:00:54.160 --> 01:00:57.840
then in a particular area of your life, if you're just really, really struggling,

851
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:03.760
use one of God's gifts. One of his tools that he lovingly gave you as a good,

852
01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:08.800
gave to you as a good father is that, Hey, here's spiritual laws. Here they were. Here's how they

853
01:01:08.800 --> 01:01:16.240
work. Use it. He's a very loving father. If we cannot believe him because we're five right now,

854
01:01:17.200 --> 01:01:23.120
then he's like, okay, I'll give you help. And here's your help. So no condemnation,

855
01:01:23.120 --> 01:01:27.600
noticing that we always have an opportunity to learn, to mature, to greater,

856
01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:31.840
and to greater faith. So last thing I want to say, and then we'll break for lunch

857
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:35.920
is how to shift into rest really quick. Cause it's actually very short and easy.

858
01:01:37.040 --> 01:01:42.720
You will know that the, this actually is what rest is. I can talk about rest in three sentences.

859
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:50.160
The whole rest of these four and a half hours for today is all explaining all it is to help us

860
01:01:50.160 --> 01:01:55.120
overcome all of our objections and why it can't possibly be true, but it's very, very simple to

861
01:01:55.120 --> 01:02:00.400
understand. And so think of it kind of like, think of the, you know, the spirit is the invisible.

862
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:08.320
The spirit is is a, you know, is a, well, it's spirit it's, it's in God. And then this is the

863
01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:13.280
flesh. This is creation. So think of it kind of like everything in creation is like in the ocean,

864
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:18.800
it's below the ocean and the spirit is air. Well, think of yourself like a balloon. That's the new

865
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:26.080
man. That is who you are. The substance of what is in the balloon is air, which is the same substance

866
01:02:26.080 --> 01:02:35.440
is outside the balloon. It's air spirit, spirit. That is who you are. And it's very effortless

867
01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:40.720
for a balloon to applicable in a balloon floats effortlessly on the water and doesn't have to try

868
01:02:40.720 --> 01:02:45.280
hard to not sink. It's not just constantly playing. Oh my goodness. I keep trying to,

869
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:51.760
you know, I keep being threatened to sink. No, it's not. There's no, even with think about it,

870
01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:58.160
even with them, if a storm came up or whatever, the, the, the substance of a balloon does not

871
01:02:58.160 --> 01:03:03.360
allow it to sink. It's just, you know, it, and it, and it doesn't have to work to try to be who it

872
01:03:03.360 --> 01:03:09.840
is. It just effortlessly flips on the water. So this is who you are and you never changed ever.

873
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:14.080
Even if someone were to grab ahold of a balloon and pull it down, the substance of, in the,

874
01:03:14.080 --> 01:03:18.800
in the properties that, and the characteristics of what a balloon is doesn't ever change. It's

875
01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:22.480
always a balloon. It doesn't matter if it's above the water or below the water, it's always a balloon

876
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:26.640
and it always has air in it. And it always acts very effortlessly like a balloon. It doesn't

877
01:03:26.640 --> 01:03:30.720
change its characteristics because it drops. If someone like pulls it down into the ocean,

878
01:03:30.720 --> 01:03:35.760
it always remains the same. So anyway, if we shift our identity, our sense of our identity

879
01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:40.720
from our spirit down into our solar body, it's like the balloon coming down. If, if that's

880
01:03:40.720 --> 01:03:47.200
impossible, just like the new man, it is impossible for a balloon to do that. Then how does the balloon

881
01:03:47.200 --> 01:03:53.440
drop? It's grabbed a hold of a weight and that weight pulled it down. A certain level of weight

882
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:58.240
will take it down to the soul level. A greater heavier weight will pull it down further into

883
01:03:58.240 --> 01:04:02.480
the ocean, to the body level. What are those weights that the balloon would have to grab a

884
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:09.360
hold of in order to cause it to act counter to its nature? Because it can't naturally act counter

885
01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:15.360
to its nature. You cannot naturally be different than the new man. So why do you act like sometimes

886
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:21.200
like not the new man? Because it's grabbing a hold of a weight, which is simply a lie against God.

887
01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:29.120
It's an accusation against God. It's God. You're not that good. You're only this good,

888
01:04:29.120 --> 01:04:35.520
or you're only this good. That's what that is. So here's the key to shifting into rest.

889
01:04:35.520 --> 01:04:39.520
You don't have to do anything. Like you don't have to do something new. All you have to do

890
01:04:39.520 --> 01:04:46.080
is stop doing whatever you're doing. Just stop as opposed to, okay, I'm doing this. And we think,

891
01:04:46.080 --> 01:04:50.560
okay, God's actually telling me I'm doing the wrong thing. I need to be doing something

892
01:04:50.560 --> 01:04:58.480
different. He says, no, stop doing. That's the key to shifting into rest. Let go.

893
01:04:58.480 --> 01:04:59.840
So you grabbed a hold of a weight.

894
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.480
So all you have to do as soon as, as soon as, um, you know, if the balloon doesn't have the weight,

895
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:08.000
what happens, it immediately just floats to the top. It doesn't have to swim to the top.

896
01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:13.440
It just naturally, it is a balloon. So it's just going to just float up. It didn't have to work

897
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:17.360
for it. It naturally goes up because it's the way it always was in dropping down into the ocean

898
01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:22.160
didn't change its nature. So it just keeps acting like it always does. And it didn't work to float.

899
01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:29.120
So all you have to do in order to allow yourself to effortlessly act like yourself again is to let

900
01:05:29.120 --> 01:05:35.920
go of the weight is to stop believing the lie. We'll talk later about how to do that, but

901
01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:41.520
it's just stop. That's all you're doing. You're stopping. You're not trading, doing one thing

902
01:05:41.520 --> 01:05:47.280
for another. Now you just stop. That's it. And as soon as you let go of the weight,

903
01:05:47.280 --> 01:05:52.240
as soon as you let go of the accusation, you will find that you will act and be,

904
01:05:52.240 --> 01:05:56.480
you will act in your business. You will see the results in your business. And you will, um,

905
01:05:56.480 --> 01:06:02.560
you will just effortlessly act and be the, the way that God talks about people on the sermon on

906
01:06:02.560 --> 01:06:07.280
the Mount, the way he talks about people in, um, uh, in, uh, I didn't know the commandments that

907
01:06:07.280 --> 01:06:12.240
he gives us in the new Testament. You will naturally be those things. I was talking about

908
01:06:12.240 --> 01:06:18.640
earlier, the fact that you don't have to try to love God. You already do, but we don't think that

909
01:06:18.640 --> 01:06:23.360
we do. And therefore we keep trying. And because we don't know life any other way, other than

910
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:28.400
trying, we think if we stop trying, we won't love. We think that if we stop trying that our

911
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:32.640
natural nature isn't love, meaning that we're not believing that what God said really is true

912
01:06:32.640 --> 01:06:35.920
because God said, no, your nature really is, is love. No God, I don't believe it. So I'm going

913
01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:42.880
to keep trying. And I'm, and, um, uh, in God, God will tell God, okay, but God, if it's,

914
01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:47.840
if it's different than what I'm doing, then while I'm trying, you can prove it to me because like,

915
01:06:47.840 --> 01:06:54.640
that is not how it works. I've already done it. So stop trying. And that's how you discover it's

916
01:06:54.640 --> 01:07:00.400
true. That's faith. That's why faith is risky because we have to stop doing the thing that

917
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:05.360
we think if we stop, we're going to die. We think if we stop, then we're, then God's going to have

918
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:09.120
accusation against us that we're going to lose relationship with him, that he's going to be mad

919
01:07:09.120 --> 01:07:16.160
or we're going to bear some punishment consequence or whatever. Um, and, um, so that is, it was very

920
01:07:16.160 --> 01:07:21.120
fast. That's how you're such an arrest. It's so easy. After lunch, we'll be talking about like

921
01:07:21.120 --> 01:07:25.280
some practical things that you can do to shift interest. Like if you don't feel it, you're

922
01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:31.040
anxious. What do I do? How do I get rid of this anxious feeling? How do I actually shift interest

923
01:07:31.040 --> 01:07:35.680
in a moment? As opposed to me just telling you, oh, all you have to do is just stop believing

924
01:07:35.680 --> 01:07:41.360
what you're believing. That's not helpful. You already knew that. And are we doing it now?

925
01:07:42.160 --> 01:07:46.080
I mean that we are in certain areas, but not in the really hard areas. How do we do it in the

926
01:07:46.080 --> 01:07:50.320
really hard areas? And, um, what are some practical steps? So we'll talk about that.

927
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:56.000
We will break for 30 minutes and then come back at well, 30 minutes. You all can watch your own

928
01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:59.600
times because you're all in different times. I'm afraid I can't help you with that. So we'll come

929
01:07:59.600 --> 01:08:07.600
back in 30 minutes. Um, and, uh, in fact, if you would like, um, I, I might pop back on here and,

930
01:08:07.600 --> 01:08:12.320
um, while I'm eating lunch and then we can use it for anybody who wants to y'all might

931
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:17.279
completely want to break, but for anybody who wants to, we can, um, uh, y'all can pop on and

932
01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:21.760
I can, after I get my lunch and bring it here, then I can be on here for, um, to answer any

933
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:26.960
questions that anybody might have so far, uh, because we won't have time for a Q and a later.

934
01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:31.680
Um, cause I've got too much. I'm trying to like jam pack in here. Uh, but we can use that for,

935
01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:36.560
for a lunch Q and a, if you'd like, for those of you don't want to, it's no big deal. Y'all can go,

936
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:42.960
um, uh, let your brain rest for a bit. So, uh, for those of you who will not be back until 30

937
01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:56.240
minutes, it's been 30 minutes.

938
01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:07.060
Okay.
