00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:44.000
Let's go ahead and get started.

2
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
Hey ladies!

3
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.000
How are y'all?

4
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.000
I'm sorry y'all have been waiting in the waiting room a while.

5
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.000
I thought nobody was on so I'm just waiting.

6
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.000
I set up my light while I was waiting.

7
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.000
Anyway, I was like, well, I don't know, maybe I should go check.

8
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.000
Sure enough, two people are in there.

9
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.000
Oh, I'm so sorry.

10
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.000
So good to see you again, Amy.

11
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.000
Hey, Rochelle!

12
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Hi!

13
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.000
I can see everybody.

14
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.000
You can keep yourself off where we don't see you,

15
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.000
but just FYI, I can't see you in case you think I can.

16
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.000
You can keep yourself off if you want to.

17
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.000
Some people do.

18
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.000
Well, my littles are almost asleep,

19
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.000
so until they're fully out.

20
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.000
Once they're out, I'll have some light.

21
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.000
You can't see me even if I put the video on right now.

22
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.000
Oh, wow, yeah.

23
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.000
It's perfectly fine.

24
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.000
People do different things.

25
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
I can't see you.

26
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.000
I can't see you.

27
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.000
Some people are like, oh, you can't see me.

28
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:05.000
So I am in my new place now.

29
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:11.000
My new place, meaning the new place I'm staying at for the next several days.

30
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.000
I'm trying to think of how many nights I'm going to be here.

31
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.000
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

32
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.000
I think four nights, maybe.

33
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000
So unless something changes.

34
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.000
I don't know.

35
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.000
I'm going to see if I can get to your house.

36
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000
I did not get to meet up.

37
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.000
We were this close.

38
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.000
We were 30 minutes.

39
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.000
Anyway, and with that, I thought, okay, well,

40
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.000
maybe I can get to your house.

41
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.000
And that didn't work.

42
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.000
Which honestly, yeah, if I had done that, I would have missed,

43
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.000
I would have missed this call.

44
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.000
So I don't know.

45
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.000
I'm going to see if there's some way, surely.

46
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.000
But I'm this close.

47
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.000
I'm going to check.

48
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.000
I'm going to check.

49
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.000
I'm going to check that Cheryl is not far from here.

50
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.000
So Reese.

51
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.000
So she's with, she's, you know, here in Ohio.

52
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.000
I don't remember how far away she is.

53
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.000
I'm going to have to check.

54
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.000
But anyway, so I'm going to have to see if I can fit those two things.

55
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.000
Those.

56
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.000
Two visits in while I'm here. I have to write.

57
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.000
Steph was saying when she and I were trying to.

58
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.000
Orchestrate.

59
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.000
Seeing each other.

60
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.000
I'm sorry.

61
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.000
Yeah.

62
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.000
We should have a rest intensive.

63
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.000
What did she call it? Retreat or something.

64
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.000
We said.

65
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.000
Yeah.

66
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.000
Yeah.

67
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.000
Yeah.

68
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.000
We'd always.

69
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.000
Yeah.

70
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000
Go to a lake house or something.

71
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.000
Be fun.

72
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.000
That's right.

73
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.000
Something I was going to say about that.

74
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.000
I remember what it was, but yeah.

75
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.000
Okay.

76
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.000
Oh, Steph, how was the birthday dinner?

77
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.000
It was.

78
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.000
Hey, it was Dan's birthday dinner.

79
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.000
So.

80
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.000
It was good.

81
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.400
If I hadn't already made plans to hurry home,

82
00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:09.040
Becky had Bailey and Emma and all of the puppies.

83
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.400
So, and she fixed a birthday dinner.

84
00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:12.240
So we felt like we needed to get home.

85
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.080
Oh, that's pretty impressive.

86
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.780
Wow, very impressive.

87
00:05:15.780 --> 00:05:16.620
It was good.

88
00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:17.680
Super woman.

89
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:18.520
Yeah.

90
00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:19.640
Good.

91
00:05:19.640 --> 00:05:22.180
Well, I'm here in lovely Ohio.

92
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.440
You made it.

93
00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:28.240
Yeah, I did.

94
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.080
I made it.

95
00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:31.600
And so I am out in the country.

96
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.520
I mean, like in the middle of nowhere.

97
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.580
And so I'm very excited about,

98
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.640
but I'm like on these, like this two lane road

99
00:05:43.640 --> 00:05:47.720
and I couldn't, and so it was interesting.

100
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.920
And then of course I'm passing and you know, in the dark

101
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.740
and then I'm like traveling for like 20,

102
00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:58.040
at least 20, if not 30, it felt like 30.

103
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.640
Maybe it was only 20 minutes, you know,

104
00:05:59.640 --> 00:06:01.040
in the dark and through these winding roads.

105
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.080
But I'm telling you what, it was,

106
00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:06.000
it was the terrain was so cool that I thought

107
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.720
it has got to be stunning in the daylight.

108
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.240
I'm very excited about it.

109
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.640
And I'm telling you what, just the most gorgeous drive,

110
00:06:14.640 --> 00:06:16.480
just like when I went to see Rochelle

111
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.680
and then that beautiful, you know, fall trees.

112
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.680
Oh my word, going, Asheville was amazing.

113
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.160
And then going up from Asheville all the way up through,

114
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:27.800
what did we go through?

115
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.320
Went through North, thank you.

116
00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:34.760
Virginia, West Virginia, and then Ohio.

117
00:06:34.760 --> 00:06:36.960
Gorgeous, oh my word.

118
00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:38.440
I just loved it.

119
00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:40.680
Anyway, well, we didn't go from Asheville.

120
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:41.760
We went from Moravian Falls.

121
00:06:41.760 --> 00:06:42.600
We went to Moravian Falls

122
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.160
and we were there for a couple of nights.

123
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.040
And that was fun.

124
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.640
Went up on Prairie Mountain.

125
00:06:50.640 --> 00:06:53.480
I did, went up on Prairie Mountain and all that.

126
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.920
So anyway, oh, that was so much fun.

127
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.720
So does anyone have,

128
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.680
make sure I haven't missed anybody.

129
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:02.880
Good, I have not.

130
00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:05.840
Does anyone have any,

131
00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:09.720
oh, good.

132
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.920
Does anyone have any questions to start us off with?

133
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.000
Hey, Alana.

134
00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:24.480
Anything that is on people's radar,

135
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.080
anything that's been going on?

136
00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:28.120
Any questions?

137
00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:30.640
Okay, I always have a question.

138
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.920
That's great, I love it.

139
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.880
I always have something to talk about.

140
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:38.640
Good.

141
00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:42.680
So here's what's been on my heart this week.

142
00:07:44.760 --> 00:07:49.760
So I feel like I'm a bit double-minded in a few areas.

143
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.480
And I think that this is something

144
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.600
you could totally speak to.

145
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.200
So I've been really involved with watching The Vow

146
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:02.200
and trying to pass it on to people who are in my group

147
00:08:02.200 --> 00:08:06.240
who are still indoctrinated and haven't woken up.

148
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.840
And people are watching it and they're like,

149
00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:11.160
oh my gosh, this is so amazing.

150
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.360
I'm waking up.

151
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.400
They're literally throwing up in some cases

152
00:08:15.400 --> 00:08:18.360
because they're just like blown away by the similarities.

153
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.960
And it's been really powerful for my friends and I

154
00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:23.600
to be passing that around.

155
00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:27.440
And then my friend, Sarah, who I've talked to you about,

156
00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:29.920
her group, the leader of it,

157
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.320
just got 120 years in prison this week.

158
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.240
So he, Keith Ranieri.

159
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.360
CM.

160
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.559
Yeah, the next CM one.

161
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.880
So he just got sentenced to life in prison,

162
00:08:41.880 --> 00:08:43.480
which is amazing.

163
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.200
So I've been chatting with her.

164
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.240
I've been chatting with my friends that have been involved

165
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.400
with like watching The Vow and passing it on.

166
00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:52.560
And here's where I'm at.

167
00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:57.320
Part of me is so passionate about helping people

168
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.200
see the truth and helping them wake up

169
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.680
because I know the position I was in when I was asleep

170
00:09:02.680 --> 00:09:04.640
and I couldn't see what was happening to me

171
00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:05.800
and how damaging it was.

172
00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:07.840
And I know there are people that are still in the group

173
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.840
experiencing that.

174
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.840
And I also know that like I get to move forward

175
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.760
and I get to live in that space of,

176
00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:21.160
you know, being an overcomer and agreeing with that

177
00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:22.960
and not sliding back.

178
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:24.760
But when I focus on it,

179
00:09:24.760 --> 00:09:28.040
even though I'm focusing on it to help people,

180
00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:32.520
it can still like kind of be in me almost too much

181
00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:35.680
or not consume me, but just be a big part of my life.

182
00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:38.480
And even though I've got other things going on,

183
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.400
I've got my business, I've got my purpose,

184
00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:43.080
I've got all this other great stuff.

185
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.440
I will get into that space,

186
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.240
which is very difficult sometimes because it's like,

187
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.880
you know, it's a cult space, right?

188
00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:54.840
Like it's a pull.

189
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:59.520
It's like, you know what I mean?

190
00:09:59.520 --> 00:10:00.360
Yeah.

191
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.360
Yeah, it's like spiritual quicksand, yeah.

192
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.360
Yeah, totally.

193
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.840
And then I feel like I'm kind of like rising above

194
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.200
and living life and doing well.

195
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.200
And I'm not where I used to be as far as getting

196
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.200
really sucked in and like sinking in the quicksand,

197
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.920
but I feel myself standing on it

198
00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:16.240
and going down a little bit.

199
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.520
And I'm like, I should probably get out of here.

200
00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:23.600
So I'm trying really hard to just sort of figure out

201
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.400
what the balance is to really know

202
00:10:27.400 --> 00:10:30.160
what the healthiest place for me to be in is.

203
00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:32.160
Does that make sense?

204
00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:34.320
Yeah, yeah, it does.

205
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:39.320
So what do you feel, I'm trying to figure out

206
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.200
how to help you figure out where that balance is

207
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.200
because it's different for everyone.

208
00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:51.400
Everyone is given a different grace.

209
00:10:51.560 --> 00:10:56.560
And they're, what it is that they can handle,

210
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:04.440
what it is to, and so it just,

211
00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:11.840
I'm trying to figure out how to explain how, again,

212
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.000
how you can figure this out.

213
00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:20.560
It's dangerous to be involved in anything

214
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:26.600
just even out of trying to help people who are in a cult

215
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.440
or think about like people helping other people

216
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.960
out of sex trafficking,

217
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.240
helping people out of ministering to those

218
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.040
in the drug community.

219
00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:39.120
I mean, all of this stuff, it sounds great and wonderful,

220
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:44.080
but the problem is there is so much spiritual darkness there

221
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.600
that it is, and it's extremely strong,

222
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.400
it's extremely powerful.

223
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.760
And if we're not coming at it with either grace

224
00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:54.160
or understanding our identity,

225
00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:56.840
and we're coming more from,

226
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.760
if we're coming at it with a lack of protection,

227
00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:04.640
then that world knows more than we do.

228
00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:08.600
The spiritual forces know that game better than we do.

229
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:10.360
And so therefore it leaves us susceptible.

230
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.840
And so we realize, okay, okay,

231
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.400
there's only so far that I can touch it

232
00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:17.800
and go into it before I need to pull out because,

233
00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:19.080
so does that make sense?

234
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.560
And everybody's different on that.

235
00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:22.960
And it's not an evidence of the fact that,

236
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.800
oh, well, some people are just weak

237
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:26.160
and they just can't handle it.

238
00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:28.000
It's not that, it's that people,

239
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.720
some people are called to it and most people,

240
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.320
most people aren't.

241
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:34.960
So like you're watching the vow,

242
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.640
I'm like, I don't wanna watch the vow, you know, why?

243
00:12:38.640 --> 00:12:41.320
Well, that's just not something that,

244
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.440
and the Lord has given me the ability that I'm aware of,

245
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.000
unless he calls me into and changes something,

246
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.760
to be able to watch it unaffected.

247
00:12:52.760 --> 00:12:54.640
And so there, for instance,

248
00:12:54.640 --> 00:12:56.120
there were books that I have read

249
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.120
at certain times in my life,

250
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.480
we're talking about secular books,

251
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.240
that I've read at certain times in my life

252
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:05.120
that had very strong spiritual things

253
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.360
attached to the books.

254
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.720
And I was trying to watch, read them as an observer.

255
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.640
And God gave me the grace to read them once,

256
00:13:13.640 --> 00:13:17.440
but he never has given me the grace to read them again.

257
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.200
And there were certain ones in the series that he's like,

258
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:21.720
hey, you can read this one.

259
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:23.280
It was not one really serious,

260
00:13:23.280 --> 00:13:25.360
they were just books by the same author.

261
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.720
He said, you can read this one,

262
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.080
but as the new ones came out,

263
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.520
he said, you cannot read these others.

264
00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:34.720
So my, because the spiritual thing was just so strong.

265
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:36.040
And then he did have a season

266
00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:38.520
in which he gave me the grace to not be affected by it.

267
00:13:38.520 --> 00:13:42.120
So my point is that there, you're right,

268
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.760
there is a balance, but it's based off of,

269
00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:48.280
just what it is that you're sensing in the spirit.

270
00:13:48.280 --> 00:13:51.160
So just allow yourself to be led by the Lord

271
00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:53.560
and not so much of like, oh, I want to,

272
00:13:53.560 --> 00:13:57.600
it'll help you if, like it does all of us,

273
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.920
if we just allow ourselves to be led by the spirit

274
00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:03.040
as opposed to, oh, I desire to save other people.

275
00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:04.880
I desire to help them or whatever,

276
00:14:04.880 --> 00:14:08.880
because there's still danger for you.

277
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.720
And that's due to just that there's a preciousness

278
00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:20.120
to what it is that you have with the Lord.

279
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.680
And sometimes the Lord does not want that

280
00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:28.680
to be touched by any type of exposure to something else.

281
00:14:30.920 --> 00:14:34.800
Because the thing that he has in you is special

282
00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:37.600
and it's to be set aside and it's to be preserved

283
00:14:37.640 --> 00:14:39.360
and it's supposed to be pure

284
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.160
and it can't touch other things.

285
00:14:41.160 --> 00:14:45.320
So that's also, it's also what can be going on as well.

286
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.800
So my point in saying everything the way that I am

287
00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:51.600
is to make sure that it's clear that I'm not talking about,

288
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.520
oh, you know, when we're weak,

289
00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:55.480
we just can't do certain things.

290
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.080
It's not that, it's that there's something very precious

291
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.280
in being withheld.

292
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.000
from being allowed to touch something else, or being exposed to something else or whatever.

293
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:17.000
And so, so I just wanted to make sure that that that that was clear because otherwise, in the church, and even in the world, going into those situations can sound like this.

294
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:24.000
This amazing thing that everyone, you know, only the strong can do. No, the cold can do it.

295
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:36.000
So you just go in and you touch lives and you do you know you, you expose people to the bow or whatever it is that God specifically called you to do, just to the degree that you can.

296
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:43.000
And don't be worried that oh my goodness maybe I'm going too far. Sense it in your spirit because it's a spiritual thing that you're encountering.

297
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:47.000
It's not an organization, it is a spiritual.

298
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:57.000
It is it is a kingdom, it is a web. It is extremely intricate and it is astronomically power, the powerful those people that are in there like that.

299
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:08.000
They have, they have traded with they have sacrificed and traded aspects, so to speak, of their soul.

300
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:18.000
In order to have what it is that they have in order to have that that draw in that poll, and in order for to that fame that money that whatever.

301
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:25.000
And so it's so demonic powers are the things that are being allowed to have full reign there.

302
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.000
It, the cults are awful.

303
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:38.000
It's witchcraft, because it's manipulation because it's trying to steal someone else, not steal, but manipulate somebody else's free will that that's that's the witchcraft.

304
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:51.000
So anyway, it's really is that strong. So, as far as like finding a balance, there's no like rule, other than following following your spirit, but I wanted to mention all those other things so I know this sounds like a really long answer.

305
00:16:51.000 --> 00:17:07.000
But the reason I wanted to mention that is, is so that if, if you feel like this pulled back that you don't feel that you don't get discouraged or feel condemned like you mean I'm just not strong enough yet you mean I haven't killed enough yet you mean I'm not.

306
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:16.000
You know, whatever. No, there's all kinds of special things that the Lord is preserving you for that may not be allowed to touch that thing.

307
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.000
You know, because then it would.

308
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:30.000
It would, I don't know, just change that the purity of something he's trying to do so I just wanted to mention that so that it can be seen whatever the Lord is trying to do and whatever, whenever the spirit spirit says stop.

309
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:43.000
You're just like, okay, he wants to preserve something special. I've got something that I'm being charged with, as opposed to. Oh, well, you know I'm not healed enough or whatever because that can get discouraging.

310
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:58.000
Does any of that make sense I know it doesn't tell you an exact way of how to know what the balance is that the balance is honestly just in the spirit, because this is a very serious spiritual battle in a spiritual organization.

311
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:16.000
But it does make sense and I think because I know God's given me an awesome purpose to live into because of it but because you know that that part of it the purpose part of it maybe isn't exactly the way or where I would want it to be yet.

312
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:33.000
But I still get pulled back into the old purpose that felt good at the time and I know it's not. And then my purpose now is to help other people that are in it, because the new purpose that I have around my business and everything isn't maybe flourishing yet the way I

313
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:46.000
want it to it's busy I've got clients I'm, they're doing great it's awesome but then I'm like but I want to help all these other people too and I want them to see and what if somebody didn't help me wake up where would I be right now.

314
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:57.000
And so that kind of comes up to so spiritually if I was to like see what was going on in the spiritual realm I wonder what.

315
00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.000
I wonder what's happening you know.

316
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.000
Yeah.

317
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:13.000
Also there are there's a time for things as in when, when God gives us something and this is something I'm learning so I'm telling you all this while I'm learning to walk in this.

318
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:28.000
And that is that when God is the one who gives us something like a seat gives us a seat. Well, what does it talk about in the Bible and what are the print where the scientific principles that we that we see in the seed that that we have to give the seed

319
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.000
in Christ, Christ gave us the seed.

320
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:48.000
So we put it like a farmer we put it into, and, you know, you will be put it into Christ, and we, and we let it die because it says this see it says in the Bible a seed has to die first before, before it can grow so we have to let the thing die.

321
00:19:48.000 --> 00:20:00.000
And we let Christ multiply it until at which point, until particular point which he says okay now you can take can begin to water, you can begin to.

322
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.240
you know, hoe the weeds around it. You can begin to do whatever and be part of the multiplication

323
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.240
process, but we have to let it die first. So in other words, there's always that there

324
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:13.120
can be a timing to things of things that God has given us. We're like, I know I'm supposed to do

325
00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:17.360
this. I'm not saying this about your situation. You, this is something for you to take with the

326
00:20:17.360 --> 00:20:25.440
look to the, um, to the Lord, um, and ask him about, um, but it's something that helps us kind

327
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:29.920
of understand, okay, why we can feel the Lord gave us something. And we're like, this is mine.

328
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:36.080
I know it is. And it's in me and it's got to come out. But there's a timing of, of the fact that,

329
00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:41.200
um, when things are supposed to happen. And so that's something that we can do is we're like,

330
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.040
we always give it back to God. Whenever God gives us something, we always give it back to him.

331
00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:50.400
And then we let it die. And then he, he multiplies it. And then he says, okay, he invites us. Okay.

332
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:54.560
Now's the time to take it up and now to partner with me and to do it. But God always likes to

333
00:20:54.560 --> 00:21:00.800
be the initiator. And, um, the other thing that I wanted to say about that is that you are so

334
00:21:00.800 --> 00:21:07.920
precious to him that it's not always other people and how, uh, and how you can help other people.

335
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:16.560
That's important. So my point is that if God has given you this to you to like minister to

336
00:21:16.560 --> 00:21:23.680
these people and to, and to, you know, be used as the voice that they hear that quickens their

337
00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:28.240
spirit to all of a sudden wake them up. And all of a sudden they realize what on earth is going on

338
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:36.480
that, that God wants to make sure that you are, are healthy, whole and protected.

339
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:44.720
And that he's loved on you enough where, uh, where you, where you've experienced

340
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:51.280
the goodness of God, because you're worth that time and attention as opposed to him saving you

341
00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:55.760
and like, okay, now, now you're saved, you know, meaning like save us out of a situation and heal

342
00:21:55.760 --> 00:22:01.680
us and whatever. Okay. Now, now, now go back in. We're important enough to him where sometimes

343
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:07.760
there's amount of time in there where he's just like, okay, I, this book, you're allowed to focus

344
00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:12.960
just on you. I've given you the seed for later time, whatever. I'm not saying this about your

345
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.000
situation. I'm just giving you ideas that you can take back to the Lord and ask, okay, well,

346
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:24.320
what season am I in, in the process? And, um, and just see, you know, what settles down in your

347
00:22:24.320 --> 00:22:31.280
spirit where you, you're, you sense, okay, God is saying that his love and how much, how precious

348
00:22:31.280 --> 00:22:36.960
that I am to him and how he operates out of me and flows out of me to other people. What season

349
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:43.920
of in cycle of manifestation I'm in at that moment where thing, because there's a lot of concealment

350
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:50.880
before there's a revealing of who it is that we are. Does that make sense? And I don't know what

351
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:55.440
season that you're in. I'm just giving you a whole bunch of ideas. And then there's,

352
00:22:55.440 --> 00:23:00.480
there's all these different points along that path, including, including just going out and,

353
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:07.280
and all of that. Um, and, uh, that you could be anywhere in there and I don't know where you are.

354
00:23:07.280 --> 00:23:10.560
And you could ask, you could just ask the Lord, you can see what resonates in your spirit

355
00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:17.440
and ask him to show you, um, that, cause the important thing is again, where all of these

356
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:23.200
questions are coming from get peace in our spirit before our God, Lord, where am I supposed to be?

357
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:29.360
What am I supposed to do? What's the balance, you know, like, Lord, I go in so far and then

358
00:23:29.360 --> 00:23:36.240
everything's fine until I hit a certain point. Like why Lord is I feel a pull to go more,

359
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.000
but I feel caught and I feel like I have to pull back in. Why do I feel caught?

360
00:23:40.800 --> 00:23:43.600
You know, why do I, why do I have to pull back? Why do I hit a wall?

361
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.840
You know, and you might say, well, it's because the season you're in, you're in such and such a

362
00:23:47.840 --> 00:23:53.120
season, or, you know, I don't know. Um, I'm just giving you ideas because again,

363
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:58.240
operating from a place of rest, there's not a formula. It's in a relationship.

364
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:04.080
And, and I don't know what yours is, but those are just those, I just wanted to give you some

365
00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:08.240
ideas that you take back to the Lord and ask them about, find out, you know, where it is that you

366
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:15.680
are. Um, so yeah. Yeah, no, that's so interesting. It's, it's amazing how you can actually feel that

367
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:22.880
spiritual force pulling you in a direction. That's not God. And I feel like I've got a bit of a safety

368
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.920
net with April and this other girl, Amy, who we talk about it. And April's kind of the one in

369
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.920
charge of she's been called more to like, sharing it with the people that are still in it. Whereas

370
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:38.000
I have, you know, I've given her all the information, I've introduced her to everything.

371
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:45.360
And she, you know, she's bolder, she's in a place where she's got a lot more healing, whereas I,

372
00:24:45.360 --> 00:24:52.480
I still have a little bit of the trauma. So it's like, maybe, maybe that's where my portion

373
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:57.280
ends. Maybe my portion ends with giving her everything she needs to be able to share it

374
00:24:57.280 --> 00:24:59.600
with the people she's still in contact with, because

375
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.040
when I get too far I do I feel this darkness pulling me in and I just want to get back into

376
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:12.640
the light but the darkness kind of feels like it's enveloping me a little bit and I'm like but I can

377
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:21.680
get out of this in a second right so yeah yeah it does yeah it's kind of like you said it's so

378
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:27.280
powerful but I think you're right like taking it just kind of figuring out where that balance is

379
00:25:27.280 --> 00:25:31.760
and I mean I realized I couldn't watch another documentary that just came out about it on one

380
00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:38.000
of the girls called seduced and I was like I know I can't watch that one I can't because I'm yeah it's

381
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:45.040
not healthy for me anymore and I'm good so that was good it's just almost like the mental yeah

382
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:52.400
yeah it's almost like the mental or like mental emotional level where I'm like you know you just

383
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:58.000
want to make a difference in the world you want to help people see I know and but I also want to

384
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:08.400
live a healthy life and be like in the light more than in the darkness which is good that's wonderful

385
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:13.120
because for for so many people they believe that their healing lies in learning more about the

386
00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:19.760
darkness is not true it's not true and so once we discover how beautiful the light is we're like I

387
00:26:19.760 --> 00:26:25.360
just want to be a light and that just chases out the darkness and fascinatingly fascinatingly you

388
00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:29.200
know people talk about oh you need to learn about the darkness in order to know what to avoid that

389
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:37.760
is absolutely 100% not true we if we know the light we will recognize the darkness we can

390
00:26:37.760 --> 00:26:42.880
recognize the darkness in something we have never ever been exposed to and suddenly we've been we're

391
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.760
exposed to it and we're like I don't know you know I don't have to understand that world but

392
00:26:47.760 --> 00:26:53.680
that is not light so we we can focus so much on the truth and so much on the light

393
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.680
that we we recognize the darkness by default as opposed to because God says you know be as

394
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:06.000
innocent as does and as wise as serpents he wants us to be innocent you know that there and and

395
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.000
remember that uh you know in operating according to the tree of life instead of according to the

396
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.560
tree of the knowledge of an evil and operating according to the tree of life we don't have to

397
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:21.120
know the difference between good and evil we don't have to know all of the list of good and

398
00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:27.440
all the list of evil we operate out a relationship with God and and manifest and and reflect to the

399
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.080
character which is always good so therefore we always do the good thing and by default we

400
00:27:32.080 --> 00:27:38.000
recognize any that we know God so well and we know his character so well we we can easily recognize

401
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:43.680
the darkness and without ever having to learn about it and remember that if what satan tempted

402
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:50.480
Eve with was wouldn't you like to know the difference between good and evil that was a

403
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:57.280
temptation so in other words she didn't know and God didn't find it necessary she didn't know and

404
00:27:57.280 --> 00:28:02.160
she didn't and she hadn't sinned why because she's operating on the character of a character

405
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:06.320
of God operating according to the tree of life so I love it I love how you said that that is

406
00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:12.000
absolutely right there's and now if God calls us to you know gives us the grace to learn about

407
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:17.280
something to be exposed to something that's fine once we know it and once we see it it's um you

408
00:28:17.280 --> 00:28:22.080
know there's uh there's an accountability there for having learned information and been exposed to

409
00:28:22.080 --> 00:28:27.680
it um and so there are things I just don't learn about well I just don't want to learn about you

410
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:35.440
know the the the world of the deep dark secrets of of satan in fact it was commended who was it

411
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:40.960
who was commended for that one of the one of the churches um it was commended for was it

412
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:48.080
Thyatira I believe um was um there was uh people in the church of Thyatira that um that Paul

413
00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:55.680
commended for not knowing the or not Paul Jesus and in the in his letter to the angel of Thyatira

414
00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:00.880
said you know commended them for not knowing the deep dark secrets of satan so in other words we

415
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:07.840
were just we can be innocent so um but there's people who are called to to learn and be exposed

416
00:29:07.840 --> 00:29:13.360
to certain pieces of information you know um in order to help certain areas and free certain

417
00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:18.400
people in the world but the lord uses all kinds of things so well I just wanted to mention that

418
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:24.000
we don't have to yeah I was going to say I think he he allowed me to learn a lot about

419
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:30.960
yeah cults and narcissists and sociopaths and all of that lovely stuff he so when what and it and

420
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:35.040
now I don't need to like really know much about it anymore because I could probably write a book

421
00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:42.000
on it at this point but I but then when you said that that verse about being wise as a serpent

422
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:47.680
right innocent as deaths and wise as a serpent what like what would that mean then like wise

423
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:57.280
as a serpent well you know just just um or wisdom it's um it's being able to uh being able to discern

424
00:29:57.280 --> 00:29:59.840
because a discernment is very closely

425
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.920
linked with wisdom. But discernment is not the same thing as the knowledge of good and evil.

426
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:12.400
Discernment is, you remember how God talks about the discernment between spirits,

427
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:19.360
that it's good for us to discern between spirits. For us, again, being able to understand and

428
00:30:19.360 --> 00:30:23.920
discern, okay, what is reflective of the character of God versus the default of like,

429
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:30.800
this is absolutely not. So it's important for us to be cunning. In other words, we're not naive.

430
00:30:30.800 --> 00:30:38.240
So it's important for us to be innocent, but not naive and kind of ditzy and just kind of like,

431
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:44.000
just going around. No, God's like, no, no, no. It's twofold. Allow yourself to be discerning

432
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:50.640
of things, but be innocent as opposed to being embittered or constantly looking for a devil

433
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:56.000
under every rock or whatever. No, no, no. Be discerning of them. Be able to recognize them

434
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:02.320
because you're so, you know my character. Be discerning of them, but you're innocent.

435
00:31:02.320 --> 00:31:10.160
There's no agreement with it. There's no, what's the word? Immersement in it.

436
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.440
Oh, gotcha. Okay. Thank you. Thanks for that. I appreciate it.

437
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:22.000
You're welcome. Hey, Irene, you're on here. Everybody. Irene is, is our newest member.

438
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:29.760
The reason you don't know that is because it was only 15 minutes ago or whatever that was.

439
00:31:29.760 --> 00:31:35.760
So it was fast. I had, I sent her this link on her message. Just like she joined early.

440
00:31:35.760 --> 00:31:39.760
She joined and I was like, oh my goodness, it's Thursday night. We're getting on our Thursday night

441
00:31:39.760 --> 00:31:45.040
call. Here's a Zoom link. So I don't even know if she's accepted the invite to the group yet,

442
00:31:45.040 --> 00:31:51.760
but here she is. So anyway, say hi to Irene. Thank you. I really enjoyed her.

443
00:31:53.520 --> 00:32:02.240
And hey, Elizabeth, good to see you. And I think that, who else is in here? Linda. Hey, Linda.

444
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:08.240
I guess you're back in Missouri now, maybe. Are you back from your long trip?

445
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:17.040
I am back in Missouri and in quarantine with one of my guys who spent an entire day with

446
00:32:17.040 --> 00:32:23.120
his grandmother who two days later ended up with a COVID positive test. So

447
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:27.840
I get to be going from freedom to 24 seven staffing.

448
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:39.120
I'm sorry. Guys, Linda's Wonder Woman. I'm sorry. I hope it goes smooth and well and develops very

449
00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:45.280
good close relationships with the guy that you're staffing, that you're taking care of.

450
00:32:45.280 --> 00:32:50.480
Literally, I'm on one. Yeah, I'm on one floor and he's on another floor. So I just have to

451
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:59.440
be recording his stuff. So I am not in context with him at all. It's literally too. Yeah. So

452
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:05.040
he's, he doesn't even have it that we believe, but we're just making sure that we're separate.

453
00:33:05.040 --> 00:33:15.040
So it's like it is, it is time alone logging. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, you get special time for the

454
00:33:15.040 --> 00:33:23.520
Lord and quiet forced rest, even though you can't work for money. I know it's time for it.

455
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:33.680
Yeah. Well, they are really having to learn how to, how to, how to get along and, you know,

456
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:38.160
make this, make decisions and to handle the farm on their own. Right. Or the resort.

457
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:43.840
Well, yeah, I mean, but that's, what's crazy about it is because our goal is to make sure that

458
00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:48.160
everything runs without me, but then when these kinds of situations come up and we have to have

459
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:54.960
somebody, it makes the most sense for it to be me, to be literally quarantined with somebody

460
00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:01.920
because I'm not committed to any other house. So it's, it's the catch 22. I'm, I don't think

461
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:06.080
anything's going to happen, but I'm the one who expendable and I can do what I do best.

462
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.920
Expendable. And I can do what I do by my telephone. So I just get to do it

463
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:14.080
from a different house than my own. That's right. There you go. There you go.

464
00:34:15.040 --> 00:34:20.800
Let's get to see you or have you on, I can't see you. I see you and Greg on there.

465
00:34:23.040 --> 00:34:26.880
So, I'm sorry, Linda, go ahead.

466
00:34:29.600 --> 00:34:34.880
No, I, so my whole thing is I didn't know whether or not there's a series of things that we're

467
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:40.719
supposed to do to be caught up. So in the, you know, I'm still going through them slowly,

468
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:46.719
but I haven't gotten through all the ones that you already have done of your teaching. So it's like

469
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:51.120
that it's, it's, I'm working on it at three weeks and it's still a slow pace.

470
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:59.920
Well, that, that's fine. So, you know, it really is all, all, all that.

471
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.700
that I recommend to people to do is just that they,

472
00:35:05.040 --> 00:35:09.320
that they just kind of learn to like shift

473
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:13.520
very intentionally their mindset of operating

474
00:35:13.520 --> 00:35:16.000
and approaching life according to strife

475
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:17.720
and according to knowledge of good and evil

476
00:35:17.720 --> 00:35:19.800
from that into rest.

477
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:23.080
And so, you know, however y'all need to do it,

478
00:35:23.080 --> 00:35:26.880
you know, watch the videos at your own pace, do whatever.

479
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:29.340
I make suggestions and I make recommendations

480
00:35:29.340 --> 00:35:31.820
off of what I've noticed has worked really well

481
00:35:31.820 --> 00:35:34.180
for other people, but it's not a magic formula.

482
00:35:34.180 --> 00:35:35.940
And the important thing is it's a relationship,

483
00:35:35.940 --> 00:35:37.460
meaning that it doesn't work

484
00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:39.200
according to a specific structure.

485
00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:42.580
Do it, feel free.

486
00:35:42.580 --> 00:35:45.780
So my problem is I was really good being able to do it.

487
00:35:48.020 --> 00:35:49.700
Yeah, so when I was in California

488
00:35:49.700 --> 00:35:51.120
and didn't have any responsibilities,

489
00:35:51.120 --> 00:35:53.820
I could really operate out of rest with no problem.

490
00:35:53.820 --> 00:35:56.900
It was wonderful, I'm thinking, wow, I've got this.

491
00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:59.620
And then I came back home and had all the responsibilities

492
00:35:59.620 --> 00:36:02.500
and I'm like, I don't got this.

493
00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:05.060
Yep, I know, then we have our triggers.

494
00:36:05.060 --> 00:36:06.660
But the wonderful thing about that,

495
00:36:06.660 --> 00:36:08.620
you know, the wonderful thing about what it is that you had

496
00:36:08.620 --> 00:36:11.980
is it helps us recognize, oh, this is what it feels like.

497
00:36:11.980 --> 00:36:13.620
This is what it's like.

498
00:36:13.620 --> 00:36:16.060
And so it's like, okay, I can do this.

499
00:36:16.060 --> 00:36:18.860
So in other words, it makes it a bit more familiar.

500
00:36:18.860 --> 00:36:21.700
And then God introduces triggers again.

501
00:36:21.700 --> 00:36:24.400
And then we're like, okay, how do I do that with this?

502
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.740
And then we're like, okay, okay, now I got this.

503
00:36:27.580 --> 00:36:28.420
And then a different trigger.

504
00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:29.900
So I can't tell you the number of times

505
00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:35.020
that I have thought and I've heard it from other people

506
00:36:35.020 --> 00:36:37.780
that, wait a minute, I was doing so good

507
00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:39.340
until such and such happened.

508
00:36:39.340 --> 00:36:41.700
Why does such and such have to happen?

509
00:36:41.700 --> 00:36:42.540
And I'm like, that's a lot,

510
00:36:42.540 --> 00:36:43.500
which is not what you're saying,

511
00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:45.580
but I'm just saying that's what it reminds me of.

512
00:36:45.580 --> 00:36:48.140
And yeah, it's this triggers, like we get it.

513
00:36:48.140 --> 00:36:50.140
And it's wonderful because again,

514
00:36:50.140 --> 00:36:53.140
it shows us this is what it's like.

515
00:36:53.140 --> 00:36:55.540
It gives us, and it's not an anchor point,

516
00:36:55.580 --> 00:36:56.980
but it makes it more familiar.

517
00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:59.500
So we know what it is that we're looking for.

518
00:36:59.500 --> 00:37:02.920
So, and now we just like make the challenges.

519
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:06.340
God challenges us, makes it a lot harder,

520
00:37:06.340 --> 00:37:08.940
but he's like, okay, now we're gonna,

521
00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:10.780
yeah, this area right here,

522
00:37:10.780 --> 00:37:12.740
you don't usually operate and rest in this area.

523
00:37:12.740 --> 00:37:14.580
So this is what we're gonna trigger.

524
00:37:14.580 --> 00:37:18.220
So, but I'm excited for you that you had that time

525
00:37:18.220 --> 00:37:20.340
and you had a good extended amount of time.

526
00:37:20.340 --> 00:37:21.180
So that's good.

527
00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.660
Yeah.

528
00:37:24.300 --> 00:37:26.980
Yes, four days in 107 degree weather

529
00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:31.060
followed by four days at the beach in Oceanside.

530
00:37:31.060 --> 00:37:36.060
So yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely a vacation.

531
00:37:36.540 --> 00:37:38.380
Yes, yes.

532
00:37:38.380 --> 00:37:39.220
That's lovely.

533
00:37:39.220 --> 00:37:41.100
I'm so glad that you had that, man.

534
00:37:44.100 --> 00:37:47.540
So does anyone have anything else?

535
00:37:47.540 --> 00:37:49.180
I don't even know what time it is.

536
00:37:50.140 --> 00:37:50.980
What time?

537
00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:51.820
Oh, there we go.

538
00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:54.620
So does anyone have anything else

539
00:37:54.620 --> 00:37:57.580
that they were thinking about or questions or anything?

540
00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:08.580
Let me see if I have anything in the chat that I've missed.

541
00:38:16.060 --> 00:38:18.540
So nothing.

542
00:38:18.580 --> 00:38:22.140
Oh my word, y'all are gonna make me work.

543
00:38:22.140 --> 00:38:22.980
You make me have to think,

544
00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:25.140
what have I been talking to people about?

545
00:38:25.140 --> 00:38:26.900
You know what I always do?

546
00:38:26.900 --> 00:38:28.620
I'd love to hear from you.

547
00:38:28.620 --> 00:38:29.460
I'd love to hear from you.

548
00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:31.700
I don't know if it's a question specifically,

549
00:38:31.700 --> 00:38:36.700
but like with, I guess with the state of,

550
00:38:36.700 --> 00:38:40.180
the world right now and like all the knowing

551
00:38:40.180 --> 00:38:43.220
and the encouragement and the victory that we're coming from

552
00:38:43.220 --> 00:38:47.500
but also like with the election around the corner

553
00:38:47.540 --> 00:38:50.460
and all the things going on,

554
00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:55.300
like how are you staying in rest?

555
00:38:55.300 --> 00:38:58.500
Like, has it changed at all in this season

556
00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:59.700
and the state of the world?

557
00:38:59.700 --> 00:39:03.380
Like with all of the things, unknowns and whatnot,

558
00:39:03.380 --> 00:39:05.620
are you having to be more intentional

559
00:39:05.620 --> 00:39:08.420
in the way that you're thinking and declaring

560
00:39:08.420 --> 00:39:13.420
and spending time even maybe slowing down with the Lord

561
00:39:14.140 --> 00:39:16.060
or versus being so busy?

562
00:39:16.140 --> 00:39:19.900
Are there any things that have changed for you

563
00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:21.940
or had to be more intentional?

564
00:39:21.940 --> 00:39:25.420
Is there a way that we can really be at rest

565
00:39:25.420 --> 00:39:28.700
with all of the anxieties of life?

566
00:39:30.020 --> 00:39:30.860
Anxieties of life?

567
00:39:30.860 --> 00:39:34.580
Are you talking about like politically and socially

568
00:39:34.580 --> 00:39:37.740
or are you talking about just individually

569
00:39:37.740 --> 00:39:40.460
like anything that we're going on in life?

570
00:39:40.460 --> 00:39:42.340
I mean, I know it's the same question.

571
00:39:42.340 --> 00:39:45.260
Yeah, I think that's like always there.

572
00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:46.620
The individual stuff is always there

573
00:39:46.620 --> 00:39:47.740
so it's definitely included

574
00:39:47.740 --> 00:39:51.660
but adding to that, everything going on in the shift,

575
00:39:51.660 --> 00:39:53.260
especially like the shift that we're in

576
00:39:53.260 --> 00:39:56.180
in the body of Christ and the leaving the old behind

577
00:39:56.180 --> 00:39:57.580
and stepping into the new

578
00:39:57.580 --> 00:39:59.980
and kind of coming out of the wilderness season.

579
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.880
and then also the state of the world at the same time,

580
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:04.520
like all of it at once.

581
00:40:04.520 --> 00:40:07.560
So exciting, but it's also like,

582
00:40:07.560 --> 00:40:11.680
we're kind of being hidden and prepared, you know,

583
00:40:11.680 --> 00:40:13.360
we like for such a time as this,

584
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:15.440
but then in a sense we're supposed to speak out

585
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:16.840
and start using our voices.

586
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:20.640
And then it's like discerning how to stay

587
00:40:20.640 --> 00:40:22.160
and rest through all of that.

588
00:40:23.160 --> 00:40:24.000
Mm-hmm.

589
00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:30.080
Well, we are, again, God provides the increase

590
00:40:30.200 --> 00:40:31.880
and then he teaches us how to govern it.

591
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:36.880
So my point is that we, yes, we partner with the Lord,

592
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:41.600
but there's nothing for us to be afraid of.

593
00:40:41.600 --> 00:40:45.920
So I'm not worried about who wins the election

594
00:40:48.560 --> 00:40:51.520
because they're not my savior.

595
00:40:51.520 --> 00:40:53.320
They can't fix the world.

596
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.040
They can't fix people's hearts.

597
00:40:58.200 --> 00:41:00.320
And that's the really,

598
00:41:02.120 --> 00:41:04.760
now, it doesn't mean that,

599
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:07.600
oh, well, it doesn't matter who wins and dah, dah, dah.

600
00:41:07.600 --> 00:41:09.320
I mean, we're sure, you know,

601
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:11.120
everyone needs to vote for who it is

602
00:41:11.120 --> 00:41:15.440
that they believe will bring, you know,

603
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:20.440
what they believe reflects the value of, you know,

604
00:41:22.040 --> 00:41:26.040
their values, you know, according to which we've all focused,

605
00:41:26.040 --> 00:41:27.400
we've all formed our values

606
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:29.440
based on what it is that we believe the Lord values.

607
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:34.440
So that being said, you know, we then, we just do that.

608
00:41:34.520 --> 00:41:39.520
But as far as the outcome, God is going to,

609
00:41:39.520 --> 00:41:43.080
God is in control of the outcome.

610
00:41:43.080 --> 00:41:45.120
Yes, we partner with him in it.

611
00:41:45.120 --> 00:41:48.400
But my point is that there's nothing to fear.

612
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:50.960
They can't fix anything anyway.

613
00:41:51.240 --> 00:41:53.000
In other words, they can't save the world

614
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:54.120
is what I'm saying.

615
00:41:54.120 --> 00:41:56.120
They can't save the world.

616
00:41:56.120 --> 00:41:58.560
That's our God, and our God is still sovereign,

617
00:41:58.560 --> 00:42:00.160
and our God can still protect us,

618
00:42:00.160 --> 00:42:01.960
and our God can still provide for us.

619
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:03.320
The government does not.

620
00:42:04.520 --> 00:42:07.200
If we're talking specifically about the political climate,

621
00:42:07.200 --> 00:42:08.840
it doesn't matter who's the president,

622
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:10.120
doesn't matter who's in Congress,

623
00:42:10.120 --> 00:42:11.160
doesn't matter who, you know,

624
00:42:11.160 --> 00:42:12.600
because we're voting for a whole bunch of stuff.

625
00:42:12.600 --> 00:42:14.200
It doesn't matter even who's in, you know,

626
00:42:14.200 --> 00:42:15.720
our state or local government.

627
00:42:15.720 --> 00:42:19.800
You know, it's always God who's our provision.

628
00:42:20.600 --> 00:42:25.280
It's the same principle as the fact that

629
00:42:27.240 --> 00:42:30.960
God is our provision, our provision is not money.

630
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:35.440
And God is our protection, our protection is not money.

631
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:38.080
So when God provides for and protects us,

632
00:42:38.080 --> 00:42:40.080
and then he then manifests that provision

633
00:42:40.080 --> 00:42:43.600
and then protection, it doesn't always manifest as money.

634
00:42:43.600 --> 00:42:46.080
It'll manifest in a variety of ways.

635
00:42:46.080 --> 00:42:49.640
Again, as an example that I've given before,

636
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.840
the idea that, well, if, you know, if we think,

637
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:57.120
oh, well, I need, I'm out of food, and I need food to eat.

638
00:42:57.120 --> 00:42:58.200
Well, we either think, okay,

639
00:42:58.200 --> 00:43:00.960
God's gonna either give me money to buy food,

640
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:02.560
or he's gonna give me the food directly,

641
00:43:02.560 --> 00:43:05.120
and Lord, I can see either one of those as provision.

642
00:43:05.120 --> 00:43:07.520
But also within God's wheelhouse of provision

643
00:43:07.520 --> 00:43:09.440
is he just makes us not hungry.

644
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:12.560
He makes our body not actually need it.

645
00:43:12.560 --> 00:43:16.920
So in other words, God is the one that provides for us,

646
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:18.840
so we don't have to be concerned that,

647
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:23.080
well, are we gonna be set, the set against,

648
00:43:23.080 --> 00:43:27.880
are things gonna happen, is my world gonna collapse,

649
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.480
is what it is that I've worked for going to be destroyed,

650
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:34.640
if so-and-so or so-and-so gets elected,

651
00:43:34.640 --> 00:43:38.000
you know, if the world changes because a different,

652
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.600
you know, because the, you know, United States Congress

653
00:43:41.600 --> 00:43:43.360
has this particular majority

654
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:45.480
versus this particular majority.

655
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.120
I mean, that does not have any bearing

656
00:43:50.120 --> 00:43:52.280
on our protection, our provision,

657
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.600
and our identity as sons and kings of God.

658
00:43:54.600 --> 00:43:58.440
We're sent and put here on earth to overcome,

659
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:02.600
to bring freedom, to have, to bring freedom to the earth.

660
00:44:02.600 --> 00:44:07.600
And yes, we can manifest that and manifest our choices

661
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:10.960
and our will in the earth

662
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:13.840
that we believe reflects the character of God.

663
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:15.680
In those that we vote for,

664
00:44:15.680 --> 00:44:18.640
and in those that we collectively as a unit choose,

665
00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:21.040
we are going to decide to elect, you know,

666
00:44:21.040 --> 00:44:23.600
because the majority decides who they're gonna elect,

667
00:44:23.600 --> 00:44:25.240
specifically, it's the Electoral College,

668
00:44:25.240 --> 00:44:26.680
but you know what I'm saying.

669
00:44:26.680 --> 00:44:28.000
You know, so there is that.

670
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.840
So I'm not dismissing the value of that.

671
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:32.960
I'm saying that we're not threatened by any of it.

672
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:36.760
So therefore, if we're not threatened by the results,

673
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:40.320
because our identity is in Christ,

674
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:43.000
and anything that is,

675
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:46.680
and anything else is below Jesus's feet,

676
00:44:46.680 --> 00:44:48.200
and therefore, if we're in Jesus,

677
00:44:48.200 --> 00:44:50.000
then it's below our feet,

678
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:51.520
and therefore, it's not a threat.

679
00:44:51.520 --> 00:44:53.120
So it doesn't matter.

680
00:44:53.120 --> 00:44:54.600
It doesn't matter what's going on

681
00:44:54.600 --> 00:44:56.320
in the social political climate.

682
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:58.560
I've actually found myself in my travels

683
00:44:58.560 --> 00:44:59.800
in some very interesting,

684
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.640
political situations, completely unrelated to the election, but related to other things that have

685
00:45:06.640 --> 00:45:14.160
been very, honestly, I've encountered a lot of things that were just personally attacking,

686
00:45:15.120 --> 00:45:22.080
and I just had to find rest in it. I mean, it was like, I wasn't looking for it, it was coming at

687
00:45:22.080 --> 00:45:27.360
me. I was like, well, I just have to let it go. It's all okay. It's not a threat to me. It's just

688
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:34.160
fine. I have to remember who it is that I am. So, just being general and out there,

689
00:45:34.160 --> 00:45:38.560
it doesn't bother me and it doesn't shift my rest. I'm not worried, I'm not concerned.

690
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:51.920
But even when I've been personally, I don't want to say turned on, but like turned against,

691
00:45:52.880 --> 00:46:02.960
then yes, my intention to be in rest has been challenged. And I did, I shifted into unrest

692
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:08.400
because I was being challenged. And just some things were coming against me. I'm like, okay,

693
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:14.080
Ashley, and things were coming up in me. And I'm just like, why? Why does this have to be an issue?

694
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:21.760
And then I had to take ownership and responsibility of what was going on inside and bring myself

695
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:27.280
back to rest. And so that, it was a bunch of social political stuff that's being stirred up

696
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:34.560
right now. So, I did have to make a choice about that. I don't know. You were asking personally

697
00:46:34.560 --> 00:46:40.160
what it is that, how it is that I've been dealing with it. And that's only because I have to choose

698
00:46:40.160 --> 00:46:47.440
that my identity is in Christ and that God is my provision, my protection, my identity, that I can

699
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:52.960
expect to be loved, liked, and comforted. That I don't look to something outside, whether it

700
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:57.360
be the government, whether it be relationships, whether it be finances, whether it be business,

701
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:02.960
whatever. I can't look to any of those things. This system here, the tree of knowledge of an

702
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:09.200
evil, I cannot look at any of those things to provide things for me. I'm not saying that I'm

703
00:47:09.200 --> 00:47:14.800
not triggered sometimes, because I just told you, I do get triggered, but I recognize what it is.

704
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:19.680
And I have to, and it's in part of myself. It's an old record, an old lie that I was believing

705
00:47:19.680 --> 00:47:25.280
that that was being triggered, that when it came up, I had to overcome it. See, like Linda was

706
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:32.080
talking about, I was perfectly fine. I was perfectly fine until I was attacked. When I was attacked,

707
00:47:32.080 --> 00:47:38.240
that thing came up in me. Like, no, Ashley, it doesn't matter, you know, what it is that you

708
00:47:38.240 --> 00:47:42.320
used to believe. It doesn't matter that you're being triggered. The problem is not what came

709
00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:46.880
at you. The problem is never the outside. The problem is never other people. It's this thing

710
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:52.160
that came up in me as a response. And I now have to overcome that. And that's what I was sent here

711
00:47:52.160 --> 00:47:59.120
on earth to do, to let this thing know that it is safe and to bring freedom to this thing and

712
00:47:59.120 --> 00:48:05.520
to overcome it and to tell it the truth and to expel the lie. And so as I overcome that more

713
00:48:05.520 --> 00:48:09.760
and more and more, you know, and choose to shift into that rest, because that's ultimately what we

714
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:15.760
have to do. And we have to, all of everything that I'm describing to you, what it is that I'm doing

715
00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:22.160
successfully and unsuccessfully, it's all a choice. I'm either choosing, I'm either choosing

716
00:48:22.160 --> 00:48:25.520
the tree of life or I'm choosing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. I'm choosing,

717
00:48:25.520 --> 00:48:31.120
believing that, choosing fear. I'm choosing love or I'm choosing fear. It's always a choice. So if

718
00:48:31.120 --> 00:48:37.840
I can choose this one, it means I can't have the power to choose this one. So anyway, I don't want

719
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:42.400
it to sound like I don't, I'm not triggered. No, I have been triggered and I've been triggered

720
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:48.320
recently. And it was very challenging for me to do it to the point where I almost cried.

721
00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:55.760
So at what point do you get to be Jesus with the money changers driving them out of the temple?

722
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:03.440
At what point do you get to be? Well, what they were doing is, so that's very interesting.

723
00:49:04.160 --> 00:49:10.400
You remember that Jesus got really, really upset a few different times. And whenever he got very

724
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:17.280
upset, including at Peter, it was, and whenever he said things like very extreme to the Pharisees,

725
00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:21.040
whenever he was driving the money changers out and whenever he talked to Peter and he said,

726
00:49:21.040 --> 00:49:27.040
get thee behind me, Satan. And then when he was also talking and he said, it is better that a

727
00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:31.920
millstone is tied around their neck and thrown into the sea. All of those situations where Jesus

728
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:36.960
got very mad and used very extreme language and like went after people and called them vipers,

729
00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:43.520
et cetera, is when they were promoting things. How would I say that? They were,

730
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:52.320
that's the word. They were trying to bring things in between other people and their God,

731
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:56.480
because God always takes separation between him and his children very, very seriously.

732
00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:59.840
So whenever they were trying to Lord any like law.

733
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.680
or anything. They were trying to keep God's children from their father and say,

734
00:50:05.680 --> 00:50:12.880
Hey, look, but like impose like judgments, impose rules and laws that their father did not require.

735
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:17.280
And they were, they, they were making them to follow certain regulations in order to

736
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:22.000
have access to them or make them believe that they had to do that in order to have access and

737
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:28.560
access and access to them. Got Jesus had no patience and he got mad, including the money

738
00:50:28.560 --> 00:50:33.520
and changes changers. It was when people are trying to drive a wedge and a separation between

739
00:50:33.520 --> 00:50:41.200
God and his people. Did that make sense? Well, it makes sense. I just didn't know what

740
00:50:41.200 --> 00:50:48.880
options you had to, cause it's like, I don't get respected sometimes until I say,

741
00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:53.200
this is the way it's going to be. And they know they've crossed a boundary line.

742
00:50:53.840 --> 00:51:00.000
I don't like how I feel. I mean, so it can be with my grandkids not listening to me and

743
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:07.280
grandma bear has to yell, or it can be with my staff pushing areas where they know they're

744
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:11.600
supposed to be clocking in. And all of a sudden they didn't get a paycheck and they want me to

745
00:51:11.600 --> 00:51:18.080
pay them because they didn't clock in for two weeks. So, I mean, at what point, I mean, I,

746
00:51:18.080 --> 00:51:24.000
I feel, so I went for two weeks in Florida, California, totally peaceful. Everything was

747
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:29.600
wonderful. And I get back home and I feel my, what do you mean? You can't clock in for two

748
00:51:29.600 --> 00:51:32.880
weeks and you think I need to pay you because you didn't get your paycheck. It's like,

749
00:51:33.680 --> 00:51:37.920
you know, I mean, why aren't you stopping fighting with your, I mean, that's what I'm

750
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:45.120
saying. At what point, how are you supposed to function in love and not be stone rolled over?

751
00:51:45.680 --> 00:51:50.880
Okay. So that's very interesting. It is when, oh, wow. Okay. So try and figure out how to,

752
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:59.040
how to answer this succinctly. Okay. Kind of like a, a drill sergeant. I've heard it described like

753
00:51:59.040 --> 00:52:03.120
this before. And you, you may have heard the same sermon, so it's a great example. So I'm going to,

754
00:52:03.120 --> 00:52:07.600
I'm going to use it. Chris, Chris uses this example. And that's the first thing that popped

755
00:52:07.600 --> 00:52:13.360
into my head is the, is the way to describe this is, is a, like when a drill sergeant is,

756
00:52:14.160 --> 00:52:21.920
is giving instruction, he gets in their face and he's yelling while a general, he just sits there

757
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:29.520
and tells people what to do very quietly because he knows who he is and he creates, and, and there's

758
00:52:29.520 --> 00:52:38.320
a very distinct identity that he sits in that everyone recognizes it based off of who he knows

759
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:44.400
himself to be. And they respond according to he, who he knows himself to be, as opposed to him

760
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:49.680
trying to convince someone else of who he is. Does that make sense? And they'll respond and

761
00:52:49.680 --> 00:52:54.960
they'll respond accordingly. Do you see the connection between what we're talking about?

762
00:52:56.720 --> 00:53:03.840
Yeah, I've just been too graceful. So in my day, I would have spanked a kid that didn't listen to me

763
00:53:04.720 --> 00:53:11.040
as, I mean, so it's like discipline for my children, totally different than discipline

764
00:53:11.040 --> 00:53:18.160
for my grandkids. So, yes, yes, exactly. And, well, there's something else I was going to say

765
00:53:18.160 --> 00:53:29.760
about that, but we can, there, there is a way to, to, again, it's with, it's with intention,

766
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:37.600
it's putting on our own oxygen mask. First is, is us aligning with what, with our particular values

767
00:53:37.600 --> 00:53:45.520
and, and being, and being in it, just painting this in very simplistic terms, being uncompromising

768
00:53:45.520 --> 00:53:52.640
and then interacting accordingly. And then not, and then there, there is a way in which spiritually

769
00:53:52.640 --> 00:53:59.520
there is a, they'll, they get it. And, and then like even children get it without us having to,

770
00:53:59.520 --> 00:54:06.720
like, like even yell or whatever, because the yelling is sometimes, and I'm just using yelling

771
00:54:06.720 --> 00:54:11.600
as an example, because that's one that you use, we can use something else. But it's where we're,

772
00:54:11.600 --> 00:54:17.360
the reason that we do that is we have found ourselves violating our own sense of our,

773
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:22.160
of what it is that we, of our, we've found ourselves violating or allowing our own value

774
00:54:22.160 --> 00:54:27.520
system to be violated. But if we don't allow our own system to be violated, we never have to

775
00:54:27.520 --> 00:54:32.320
get, we don't usually, not always, we don't usually have to get to that point. And I know that from

776
00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:36.640
having worked, having been a teacher and worked with children who, man, a lot of these kids were

777
00:54:36.640 --> 00:54:42.000
kicked out of their schools. And so I had to work with them and then they, I'm telling you what they

778
00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:48.240
would want to push boundaries. And then I, and so I know, I noticed that I'm just using them as an

779
00:54:48.240 --> 00:54:53.680
example. I've done it with other kids too, but I, but I noticed that if I didn't allow my, my value

780
00:54:53.680 --> 00:54:58.160
system that I determined for myself, and then I determined in the classroom was the way it was

781
00:54:58.160 --> 00:54:59.920
going to be, if I didn't allow it.

782
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.600
to be violated. I never got upset to the point where I had to raise my voice. I did have

783
00:55:05.600 --> 00:55:11.400
to come to Jesus meeting with them, but I didn't have to have to do that because I was

784
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:15.760
because I was strong enough in myself and then the world responded accordingly. It's

785
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:20.600
very weird how that works. But anyway, I know that I'm talking all this in very simplistic

786
00:55:20.600 --> 00:55:26.400
terms, but it all everything always comes back to our identity. And I noticed that in

787
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:35.160
leadership in in my business as well when I would when that people when I would when

788
00:55:35.160 --> 00:55:41.800
I knew and finally recognized who it is that I was, they begin to respond to it without.

789
00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:48.520
And I noticed that I had more control with more quiet than once I knew who it is that

790
00:55:48.520 --> 00:55:54.640
I was. And I always interacted like that. Then when I had been trying to figure out

791
00:55:54.640 --> 00:56:03.280
who I was, then I had to use more force and more, more. Then thing in order to get something

792
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:08.640
done. So everything goes back to our identity, kind of like, you know, it's the same principle

793
00:56:08.640 --> 00:56:14.400
by which the spirits, spiritual principalities interact with us. As soon as they recognize

794
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:19.320
that we know that we're a son of God, they leave. That is all that they need. We don't

795
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:24.160
even need to sometimes address them. All of all sometimes that they need to see is that

796
00:56:24.160 --> 00:56:31.600
we remember who it is that we are. And they know that by law, by spiritual law, they they

797
00:56:31.600 --> 00:56:39.320
have no right. And so in that those are spirits, let alone souls, you know, of people who aren't

798
00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:44.080
even as as who aren't even as spiritually aware of all of the spiritual laws, principalities

799
00:56:44.080 --> 00:56:50.240
are creation, including human souls who respond to a son of God who knows who he is and who

800
00:56:50.240 --> 00:56:56.080
talks like that. So the nice thing is that we can control our environment a bit and control

801
00:56:56.080 --> 00:57:00.800
other people, at least in their interaction with us by shifting ourselves, which is the

802
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:06.480
only thing we have control over is ourselves, nobody else. And so if we do that, it'll affect

803
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:16.800
it. Now, it's a process to get here. But it is wild. It is absolutely wild how people

804
00:57:17.600 --> 00:57:24.160
change when we change. Again, I've watched this with children. I've watched this in in business

805
00:57:24.160 --> 00:57:30.240
and with a lot of people underneath me in business. So anyway, I know it's not like a

806
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:37.600
formula. But that that's what I was that I was thinking of. So you can see that resonates in

807
00:57:37.600 --> 00:57:43.200
your spirit may not. I don't think you'll ever give us a formula because that's not about

808
00:57:43.200 --> 00:57:50.880
relationship. Yeah, that's right. But you'd be surprised. I get asked for a lot of a lot

809
00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:56.000
of questions. And I'm just like, Okay, you do know that that's a formula, right? And I don't

810
00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:00.720
talk about for us. But I'll tell you a formula just so that you'll understand. Okay, here's the

811
00:58:00.720 --> 00:58:05.440
formula. Okay, now here's rest is that you get to choose which one. But yeah, I try not to talk

812
00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:10.960
about workloads too much. Yeah, because I used to do that. And so I used to talk all about all

813
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:23.040
those formulas. So I'm dead. What time is it? Is it? Sorry. Oh, wow. It's almost time. Is there

814
00:58:23.040 --> 00:58:31.280
anything that anyone wanted to bring up before we get off? Because it is? It's pretty much

815
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:34.800
on time. But let me just see if there was something else that someone had.

816
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:46.400
Yeah. So everybody good. I'm sorry that we missed yet last week. And that I was able to do it this

817
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:52.960
week. I should be able to do it next week. I have no idea where I'm going to be next week.

818
00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:59.520
But we'll figure it out. Would you believe I'm supposed to be on Washington DC on election day?

819
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:07.680
So of all places in the country. So my cousin who works for United States representative said,

820
00:59:07.680 --> 00:59:12.160
I said, Hey, I think I'm going to be in town. He said, Don't go near the White House or the mall.

821
00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:23.120
Got it. I'll go to Arlington. So anyway. All right. Well, it's good to get to see everybody.

822
00:59:23.120 --> 00:59:28.480
So nice that you jumped on here. I mean, I was so thrilled that you were able to jump on last minute.

823
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:32.880
Welcome, Irene. You're on mute. I'm sorry.

824
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:38.960
Yeah. Are you able to unmute yourself, Irene?

825
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:45.360
Yes. Yeah. I always mute everyone and then they have to unmute themselves.

826
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:52.560
I appreciate it. Conversations are very in depth. So yeah.

827
00:59:53.600 --> 00:59:58.720
I know. Well, we talked about rest from a variety of ways, a variety of perspectives,

828
00:59:58.720 --> 00:59:59.920
because rest is just a.

829
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.040
way in which we're supposed to operate in life

830
01:00:02.040 --> 01:00:03.600
from a totally different mindset,

831
01:00:03.600 --> 01:00:06.280
understanding we can just let go

832
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:09.640
as opposed to working so hard for everything.

833
01:00:09.640 --> 01:00:13.320
And so it's, a lot of these discussions are kind of like,

834
01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:15.040
okay, well, how do I,

835
01:00:15.040 --> 01:00:20.040
where does rest fit in in this odd situation over here?

836
01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:21.200
And then we suddenly realize,

837
01:00:21.200 --> 01:00:23.760
oh, okay, I didn't realize that that's actually striving.

838
01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:25.200
And so it's something that we're all,

839
01:00:25.200 --> 01:00:27.240
including myself, learning to offer again.

840
01:00:27.240 --> 01:00:30.080
So it'll make more sense when you go through that,

841
01:00:30.080 --> 01:00:31.280
through the sessions.

842
01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:33.320
So anyway, yeah, if you read that,

843
01:00:33.320 --> 01:00:35.320
the longer message that I sent you,

844
01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.600
that'll explain what it is you can go through.

845
01:00:37.600 --> 01:00:39.120
And so always feel free to reach out

846
01:00:39.120 --> 01:00:41.320
and ask questions if you have any.

847
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:42.760
For me, the take-home message

848
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:44.840
is when you change, people change.

849
01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:47.000
So that's like, if there's anything I got today,

850
01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:49.000
that's like, that's good.

851
01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:50.480
The energy which you exude

852
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:51.880
and just how the dimensions,

853
01:00:51.880 --> 01:00:54.200
the interactions change accordingly,

854
01:00:54.200 --> 01:00:56.480
that's a good place to start.

855
01:00:56.480 --> 01:01:00.240
Yes, and our changing, thankfully,

856
01:01:00.240 --> 01:01:02.920
is due to the fact that we already are the thing

857
01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:06.000
and we're just learning to manifest it.

858
01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:08.960
So we're unlearning all of the things that we've learned

859
01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:11.000
that have hidden who it is that we are.

860
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:13.880
So it's basically, we're removing fig leaves,

861
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:14.720
is all we're doing.

862
01:01:14.720 --> 01:01:16.160
So we're not learning new things,

863
01:01:16.160 --> 01:01:17.760
we're removing all of the lives

864
01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:21.360
that have hidden who it is that we really are.

865
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:24.800
So the nice thing is we don't have to become something,

866
01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:27.080
we're not becoming something.

867
01:01:27.080 --> 01:01:29.400
We already, well, you could word it this way,

868
01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:32.600
you could say we already are the thing we're becoming.

869
01:01:32.600 --> 01:01:34.080
We're learning to just,

870
01:01:34.080 --> 01:01:36.640
this is working out our salvation.

871
01:01:37.600 --> 01:01:38.680
So anyway, yeah.

872
01:01:38.680 --> 01:01:41.040
Awesome, thank you so much, everyone.

873
01:01:41.040 --> 01:01:42.240
Welcome, sister.

874
01:01:42.240 --> 01:01:43.080
Welcome, Irene.

875
01:01:43.080 --> 01:01:43.920
Thank you so much.

876
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:44.760
Thank you.

877
01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:46.000
It's so good to see new sisters

878
01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:47.800
and it's just like, I'm excited.

879
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:49.040
You're in for a treat.

880
01:01:49.040 --> 01:01:52.040
Oh my goodness, see girls, you don't even know yet.

881
01:01:52.080 --> 01:01:55.320
And also, Ashley, if you end up in DC,

882
01:01:55.320 --> 01:01:59.160
will you like just pop on and do a quick live for us

883
01:01:59.160 --> 01:02:00.440
or a photo or something?

884
01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:02.280
If you end up in DC on election day,

885
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:03.920
I wanna see your face.

886
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:04.760
I wanna see you.

887
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:07.680
Okay, all right, that's a good idea.

888
01:02:07.680 --> 01:02:09.520
I'll try to remember to do that.

889
01:02:09.520 --> 01:02:11.840
Okay, if you can, no pressure.

890
01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:13.880
Okay, I might have to go to the White House

891
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:15.120
especially for that.

892
01:02:15.120 --> 01:02:17.400
I'm just kidding.

893
01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:18.840
Just for my rest intensive.

894
01:02:18.840 --> 01:02:20.840
Well, it's good to see all of y'all.

895
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:22.880
You stay safe.

896
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:24.360
Yes, exactly, exactly.

897
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:25.920
And healthy.

898
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:28.400
Yes, stay safe, everybody.

899
01:02:31.680 --> 01:02:33.200
Bye.

900
01:02:33.200 --> 01:02:34.040
Bye.

901
01:02:34.040 --> 01:02:34.960
See you, God bless.

902
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:37.840
Good night.
