1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.840
All right, so welcome, welcome, welcome Prosper Leader members.

2
00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:12.360
This is the starting of the month call that we do.

3
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:17.560
We do two calls every month, and this is to kick off the month.

4
00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:22.760
And for those of you listening live, it's the month of June, which means that we are

5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.920
finishing off the first half of the year.

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.000
How amazing and how fast it goes, and how good that we can stay focused and be together

7
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.220
a couple times a month.

8
00:00:34.220 --> 00:00:42.560
So I'm going to start with prayer, and I'm going to share the screen here real quick,

9
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:51.000
and we are going to be talking about a concept that I believe is going to be so important

10
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.080
for you as you're growing, and you're growing your business.

11
00:00:55.080 --> 00:01:01.400
And so we're going to be talking about stewardship and how it applies to your business, to your

12
00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:03.680
clients, to your prospecting.

13
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:05.000
So let's start with prayer.

14
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:17.160
Father God, I thank you that this is a new day, a new month with so much opportunity.

15
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:29.920
Open our eyes, open our mind, open our heart to see your goodness, your abundance, all

16
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.320
that you have for us.

17
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:40.160
I ask that on this call that you open our spiritual senses to hear what you are saying.

18
00:01:40.160 --> 00:01:48.200
May each woman who is here live or listening to the recording, may these words contain

19
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:54.960
the power of your Holy Spirit, may they contain life, may they nourish her mind, her soul,

20
00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:01.680
her body, may they encourage her, may they inspire her, may they uplift her to rise into

21
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.720
the fullness of what you have for her.

22
00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:07.960
Speak, Lord, we ask.

23
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:11.840
Let the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight.

24
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:19.280
I ask in Jesus' name, amen and amen.

25
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:28.200
All right, I'm sharing a concept that's been rising up in me, and for a lot of reasons.

26
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:36.920
There were some conversations that really came up in coaching that I saw really needed

27
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:48.880
to be shared that could make a huge difference, I believe, for you, for your business.

28
00:02:48.880 --> 00:02:56.000
It's late spring, almost summer, and I've been planting a garden.

29
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:04.640
There's no place that you really see the miracles of God, the abundance of God, the laws of

30
00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:08.520
God that you do, like in a garden.

31
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:20.080
You take a small seed, and you put it in the ground, and contained in that seed is the

32
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.760
total blueprint for something.

33
00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:33.560
If it's an eggplant plant, or a zucchini plant, or a cucumber, in that tiny seed is

34
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:43.880
the blueprint for a plant, and in that are many, many, many more seeds.

35
00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:50.720
I like to say how many orchards are in one apple tree.

36
00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:54.400
The multiplication of God, the abundance of God.

37
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:01.240
I've got zucchini and yellow squash, and these things just in a matter of so little time

38
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.840
just take over the garden.

39
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:11.520
Already I've got dozens of squash, and I think one little tiny seed that can multiply.

40
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:20.480
Jesus used the concept of seeds and sowing for teaching often, teaching many, many principles

41
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.360
of life.

42
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.560
I want to use it as it relates to you as coaches, and for you in business, those of you that

43
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.360
are in real estate, those of you that are in the different businesses that you're in.

44
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:42.960
I want to use it in a way that it really relates to your life, and I pray that you really get

45
00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:47.760
an aha like some of my clients got this week.

46
00:04:47.760 --> 00:04:53.840
The concept of stewardship, that's not a word that we usually, outside of church or the

47
00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:58.760
Bible, is not a word we usually walk around going, oh, I really want to be a good steward

48
00:04:58.760 --> 00:04:59.760
of my life.

49
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.400
But when you get the depth of this concept,

50
00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:05.560
it changes how we look at life.

51
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.920
So let's dig into it.

52
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:14.520
And so the noun stewardship means conducting, supervising,

53
00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:16.840
managing of something, especially

54
00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:20.560
the careful and responsible management of something

55
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.160
entrusted to one's care.

56
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:30.600
In other words, stewardship of natural resources.

57
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.680
Now, let me give you my definition.

58
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:40.240
It means the employment and enjoyment.

59
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:48.240
Employment and enjoyment of what is entrusted to us.

60
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.680
The employment and the enjoyment of what is entrusted.

61
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.200
Now, we're going to spend some time in Matthew.

62
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:58.240
I'm going to share more scripture than I normally

63
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.200
do in these calls, because it's just rich.

64
00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:04.240
And I just pray that this word gets in you,

65
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.600
and it just sets your heart on fire, and it encourages,

66
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:08.760
and it inspires.

67
00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:13.840
So Matthew 25 has a verse where it says,

68
00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:20.680
his master said to him, well done, you upright,

69
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.800
honorable, admirable, and faithful steward.

70
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.400
I mean, I think, I know for me, that's the cry of my heart.

71
00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:31.200
I think we all want the Lord to look at us and say,

72
00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:32.320
hey, well done.

73
00:06:32.320 --> 00:06:33.960
You've been faithful.

74
00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:36.040
And it says a principle here.

75
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:41.480
You've been faithful and trustworthy over a little.

76
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.880
I will put you in charge of much.

77
00:06:45.880 --> 00:06:51.360
Enter into and share the joy, the delight, the blessedness

78
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.600
which your master enjoys.

79
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.640
Now, this thing has so many principles.

80
00:06:55.640 --> 00:06:59.280
It's got a principle of being faithful,

81
00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:04.280
and it has principle of being faithful over a little,

82
00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:08.680
and then we're made ruler over much.

83
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.720
Now, this is a really powerful concept

84
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.080
I want you to think about.

85
00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:17.240
So often we think, when I get really rich,

86
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.480
when I get that big deal, man, I'm going to be a giver.

87
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.280
I'm going to totally be a giver.

88
00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:28.000
And the truth is, no, if you don't give out of $100,

89
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.520
you won't give out of a million, I promise you.

90
00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:33.680
And so are you faithful?

91
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.840
And maybe you go, man, when I've got this huge coaching

92
00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:39.240
practice, I'm going to serve.

93
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.800
I'm going to do so much.

94
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.760
Are you doing that with one client?

95
00:07:44.760 --> 00:07:46.680
Are you doing that with your practice client?

96
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.240
Are you doing it with your first 10 clients?

97
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.680
So there's this principle that when

98
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.680
we're faithful with a little.

99
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.880
So it's so easy to negate that.

100
00:07:57.880 --> 00:08:01.160
You might say, well, I only have one prospect.

101
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:02.560
I only have one call this month.

102
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.000
I only have five prospects.

103
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.560
I only have 10 leads.

104
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.840
I only have four leads.

105
00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:09.680
I only have three leads.

106
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.960
And we tend to minimize.

107
00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:14.320
And we look at how little we have.

108
00:08:14.320 --> 00:08:17.160
Instead of looking at this concept of stewardship,

109
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:22.880
I have been trusted with three leads, three people

110
00:08:22.880 --> 00:08:26.920
that God has allowed me to have a phone conversation,

111
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.240
a Zoom call with.

112
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.600
And so it's this idea of being faithful and trustworthy

113
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:33.559
over a little.

114
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.600
And then we're put in charge of much.

115
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:42.600
And with this faithfulness comes joy, comes delight,

116
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:43.919
comes satisfaction.

117
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:49.640
When you get this concept, you have whole new joy,

118
00:08:49.640 --> 00:08:53.520
whole new delight, which your master,

119
00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:56.320
you enter into your master, you enter into the delight

120
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.760
that God feels, the death of the light.

121
00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:03.080
You enter into the light because scripture

122
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.720
says we are the light of the world.

123
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.400
Now, this stewardship is often put together

124
00:09:09.400 --> 00:09:13.000
with sowing, with the concept of sowing.

125
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.040
So let me read.

126
00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:15.680
It's a little bit of a long scripture.

127
00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:18.520
But I want to read it and just maybe close your eyes,

128
00:09:18.520 --> 00:09:20.920
maybe just let it soak in, maybe feel it,

129
00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:23.440
maybe ask the Holy Spirit to let you hear it

130
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:24.720
in a brand new way.

131
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.200
I've emphasized certain words in there

132
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.680
to help you just get this.

133
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:34.680
And looking at it, not just financially.

134
00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:39.720
Often stewardship, sowing, reaping,

135
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:40.960
you've heard it in church.

136
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.640
It's tied in with tithing or giving.

137
00:09:43.640 --> 00:09:46.800
And so we've relegated it to only one area of our life.

138
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:48.760
But that's not how life is.

139
00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:51.760
How you do one thing is how you do all things.

140
00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:54.400
And so the more that you're a steward of your garden,

141
00:09:54.400 --> 00:09:56.120
the more you're a steward of your home,

142
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:57.920
the more you're a steward of your children,

143
00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:00.960
the more you're a steward of your body and your family.

144
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.680
physical health, the more you're steward, it crosses all areas.

145
00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:07.120
And I see this.

146
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.040
I have clients that the more they

147
00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:13.120
started doing the things I taught them, it bled over.

148
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.720
And so maybe they're starting to get prospects

149
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.380
and they're getting clients, and now they're in the gym

150
00:10:18.380 --> 00:10:20.000
and they've got a personal trainer.

151
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.860
And now they're booking family vacations.

152
00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:25.080
And now it's like it spreads.

153
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.400
How you do one thing is how you do all things.

154
00:10:27.400 --> 00:10:28.600
Let me read this.

155
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.680
It says, it's just like a man.

156
00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:32.640
He's telling a parable.

157
00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:35.760
It's like a man who was about to take a journey

158
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:38.120
and he called his servants together

159
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:43.800
and he entrusted them with his possessions.

160
00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:45.280
So there's this trust.

161
00:10:45.280 --> 00:10:49.480
Everything that you have has been entrusted to you.

162
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.840
Your gifts, your talents, your skills, your home,

163
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.920
your resources, your children, there's this trust.

164
00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:57.960
They've been entrusted.

165
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:02.040
And it says, to one, he gave five talents.

166
00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:05.040
It's a measure of money, in this case, of gold.

167
00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:13.120
To another one, each according to his own ability.

168
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.520
And then he went on his journey.

169
00:11:14.520 --> 00:11:17.320
So God has given to each of us based

170
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.400
on what we are able to handle.

171
00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:22.400
And the more we grow, the more we're able to handle,

172
00:11:22.400 --> 00:11:24.560
the more that is entrusted to us.

173
00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:26.240
Another principle there.

174
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.680
It says, the one who had received the five talents

175
00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:35.120
went at once and traded with them and he made a profit

176
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.520
and he gained five more.

177
00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:39.480
Another principle.

178
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.280
God is into multiplication.

179
00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:45.000
He wants us to take everything and multiply it,

180
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.560
to be faithful with it, and made a profit.

181
00:11:48.560 --> 00:11:52.040
And it says, likewise, the one who had two made a profit

182
00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:53.600
and gathered two more.

183
00:11:53.640 --> 00:11:57.320
And the one who had received the one

184
00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.360
did something a little different.

185
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:06.600
He dug a hole in the ground and hid his talents,

186
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:10.800
hid his master's money.

187
00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:15.720
So the one that only had one hid it.

188
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.360
Now, after a long time, the master of those servants

189
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.280
returned and settled accounts with them.

190
00:12:22.280 --> 00:12:24.400
And the one who had received the five talents

191
00:12:24.400 --> 00:12:27.240
came and brought them five more, saying, master,

192
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.880
you entrusted me with five.

193
00:12:28.880 --> 00:12:32.600
See, I've made a profit and I've gained five more.

194
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:36.600
And the master says, well done, good and faithful servant.

195
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.400
You've been faithful and trustworthy over a little.

196
00:12:40.400 --> 00:12:42.960
I will put you in charge of many things,

197
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.800
sharing the joy of your master.

198
00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:47.600
Also, the one that had two talents

199
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.520
came forth saying, see, I've made a profit

200
00:12:50.520 --> 00:12:53.280
and I've gained two more talents.

201
00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:56.680
And this master said, well done, good and faithful servant.

202
00:12:56.680 --> 00:12:59.360
You've been faithful and trustworthy over a little.

203
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.360
I'll put you in charge of many things.

204
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.640
Share in the joy of your master.

205
00:13:06.640 --> 00:13:08.680
The one who had received one talent

206
00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:11.440
also came forward and said, master,

207
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.960
I knew you to be a harsh and demanding man,

208
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.720
reaping the harvest where you did not sow

209
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.920
and gathering where you did not scatter seed.

210
00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:25.320
So I was afraid.

211
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:26.600
I was afraid to lose.

212
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.720
I only had one little talent.

213
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.320
I was afraid to lose it.

214
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:32.600
So I hung on to it.

215
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.520
I clung to it.

216
00:13:33.520 --> 00:13:35.840
I went and I hid it where it would be safe.

217
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.520
And I know I could find it.

218
00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:39.520
I buried it.

219
00:13:39.520 --> 00:13:40.840
But here it is.

220
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.560
See, I kept it.

221
00:13:42.560 --> 00:13:44.360
Here it is.

222
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:49.720
And his master answered, you wicked, lazy servant.

223
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.920
Is that right?

224
00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:54.920
You knew I reap the harvest where I didn't sow and gather

225
00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:55.440
what I did?

226
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.040
You knew that?

227
00:13:57.040 --> 00:13:59.640
Then you ought to put my money, at least with the bankers,

228
00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:00.560
and get a return.

229
00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:04.240
I would have received my money back, at least with interest.

230
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.360
Take the talent away from him and give it

231
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.680
to the one who has 10.

232
00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:14.280
For to everyone who has and values his blessings

233
00:14:14.280 --> 00:14:21.280
and gifts from God and has used them wisely, more will be given.

234
00:14:21.280 --> 00:14:24.040
Have you been asking God for more?

235
00:14:24.040 --> 00:14:27.800
And he will be richly supplied so that he

236
00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:30.560
will have an abundance.

237
00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:33.640
But from the one who does not have,

238
00:14:33.640 --> 00:14:37.360
because he's ignored or disregarded his blessings

239
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:42.120
and gift from God, even what he does have

240
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:45.160
will be taken away.

241
00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:46.520
A sobering thought.

242
00:14:46.520 --> 00:14:50.120
How often do we think we can't give because we have too little?

243
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.120
We can't build a big business because we only have.

244
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.520
We can't serve in the way that we want.

245
00:14:55.520 --> 00:14:56.800
We can't.

246
00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:59.840
You know, we have all these ideas.

247
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.000
And I have learned over the years that the most powerful thing we can do is to live as if.

248
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:17.000
So, how can we, whatever the vision that God has, how can we step into that and begin living that now?

249
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.000
Not later, not waiting until we have more.

250
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:27.000
How can we take what we have and begin to live it and use it powerfully right now?

251
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.000
You see, our business and our money mindset is shaped by three things.

252
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.000
Our view of God, our view of money and our view of ourselves.

253
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.000
By the way, you're going to get all of this to be able to work on this worksheet.

254
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.000
So, I'm going to go a little fast.

255
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:45.000
I want to share a story and I want us to have time to really mastermind this and talk about it together.

256
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.000
So, here's what I want you to think about.

257
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:56.000
I got to thinking about this particular subject when I was on a call and I sent some of you a video.

258
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:02.000
I was on a call with a real estate broker and no, not Crystal who's on this one.

259
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.000
It's another one of my clients.

260
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:11.000
And she was really struggling with following up on her leads.

261
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:18.000
It's like she just didn't have the intention to do it and she wouldn't do it and she put it off and she put it off.

262
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.000
And then she'd feel bad that it's been too long and she'd have guilt that she didn't follow up.

263
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.000
And then she'd feel embarrassed to call later.

264
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:31.000
And by the way, a little tip and then I'll get to the story.

265
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.000
Those of you that maybe feel that, just pick up the phone.

266
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.000
It doesn't matter if it's been three months or six months.

267
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.000
The fact that you're thinking about them and you say, hey, you're really on my mind.

268
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.000
I wanted to reach out.

269
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.000
It's been a minute.

270
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.000
I wanted to catch back up.

271
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.000
Nothing will be lost.

272
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.000
Get rid of the shame.

273
00:16:50.000 --> 00:17:02.000
I'm talking to someone that has been carrying shame so they don't and they're beating up on themselves or it might be showing up on Facebook live and they're afraid to show up because it's been weeks or it's about posting but it's been months.

274
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.000
Forget, do what Paul said, forgetting what is behind and press on toward the mark.

275
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:08.000
Get back on track.

276
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.000
Whatever you did or didn't do yesterday, yesterday's gone.

277
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.000
It's only a memory in your mind.

278
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:14.000
You only have now.

279
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.000
Get back on track.

280
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:28.000
So anyway, I was talking with her and I was sharing and I said, here's what I need you to focus on for a second.

281
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.000
You have been given stewardship of these leads.

282
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.000
They were brought to you.

283
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.000
They're seeds.

284
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:41.000
They're seeds that can be left in the pack, they're seeds that can be left in your pocket.

285
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:46.000
If they're not put in the ground they can stay in the packet for years.

286
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:52.000
They contain the blueprint, the power for so much greatness.

287
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.000
But if they don't have the environment.

288
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.000
They haven't been put in the ground and watered.

289
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.000
Then they're just potential.

290
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.000
You are just potential.

291
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:13.000
And you have to take and invest what's been given you and put it in the ground so it can multiply.

292
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:17.000
Those leads that you've been given are your seeds.

293
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.000
I said write this down right now.

294
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.000
Your leads are your seeds.

295
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:29.000
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians that God provides a seed for the sower.

296
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:35.000
And food and the seed it says he multiplies in 2 Corinthians.

297
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.000
And food for us to eat.

298
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.000
So we're not supposed to eat our seed.

299
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:47.000
We're supposed to sow our seed and create multiplication.

300
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:52.000
And so you've been given these clients, you've been given these leads.

301
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:57.000
Now you reach out to them, I said.

302
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:02.000
And I said now I want you to look at what you do, the gifts that are in you.

303
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.000
How do you help your seed?

304
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.000
If you're called to nurture your seed, to help it become more.

305
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.000
And so you're watering, you're fertilizing.

306
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.000
What do you do for your seed?

307
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:21.000
In other words, how is your client transformed because of working with you?

308
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:26.000
In other words, what is the problem that you solve?

309
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.000
You must have this in your mind.

310
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.000
What is the problem that you solve?

311
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.000
What is the question that the answer?

312
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.000
What is the question that God has given you the answer for?

313
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.000
And I said, so what do you do?

314
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.000
What transformation do they get when they work with you?

315
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.000
And she said, I get them their dream home.

316
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:49.000
I said, okay, land there for a second.

317
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.000
Land there.

318
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.000
You get them their dream home.

319
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.000
For some of you it might be I help them restore their health.

320
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.000
For some of you it might be I help them get their confidence back.

321
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.000
For some of you it might be I help them get their confidence back.

322
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.520
For some of them it might be,

323
00:20:01.520 --> 00:20:05.220
I help them heal from their trauma so they can start a life.

324
00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:08.400
For some of you, you each have something different.

325
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:13.240
I help them discover their identity and who they are.

326
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.040
I help them discover who they are and whose they are.

327
00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:17.800
I don't know what it is for you,

328
00:20:17.800 --> 00:20:23.480
but you need to know what transformation do you bring?

329
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:28.300
What has God gifted you to help that after you work with someone,

330
00:20:28.300 --> 00:20:30.900
you help them calm their nervous system,

331
00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:33.540
you help them get a vision,

332
00:20:33.540 --> 00:20:35.180
you help them grow their business.

333
00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:38.260
What transformation do you bring?

334
00:20:38.260 --> 00:20:42.940
Hey, that's what you're called to steward.

335
00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:50.340
It says here, I gave you a couple of verses that we are stewards of His grace.

336
00:20:50.340 --> 00:20:55.660
We carry God's grace and we're called to steward that.

337
00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:57.900
We're carriers of God's peace.

338
00:20:57.900 --> 00:21:01.260
It says we can release God's peace into a situation.

339
00:21:01.260 --> 00:21:03.740
We're carriers of God's love.

340
00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:05.380
It says we can release that.

341
00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:07.580
We're carriers of God's abundance.

342
00:21:07.580 --> 00:21:08.660
We can release that.

343
00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:11.740
What are you releasing to your seed?

344
00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:13.440
How are you nurturing?

345
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:15.940
What transformation?

346
00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:18.860
The seed is for each other.

347
00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:20.960
I love 1 Peter 4.10.

348
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.460
It says, just as each one of you has received a special gift,

349
00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:26.060
just like the parable of the talents,

350
00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:27.740
the Bible says you have that.

351
00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:28.860
You have that.

352
00:21:28.860 --> 00:21:31.500
Each one of us has received a special gift,

353
00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:36.980
a special talent, an ability that is graciously given by God,

354
00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:40.940
and it says employ it in serving one another.

355
00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:44.020
Plant that seed, use that gift,

356
00:21:44.020 --> 00:21:47.600
release those talents so there can be multiplication,

357
00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:49.100
there can be a harvest,

358
00:21:49.100 --> 00:21:50.340
there can be healing,

359
00:21:50.340 --> 00:21:51.420
there can be abundance,

360
00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:52.940
there can be prosperity.

361
00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:54.500
Each of you has been giving it,

362
00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:58.580
employ it in serving one another.

363
00:21:58.580 --> 00:22:04.220
For good stewards of God's multifaceted grace.

364
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:08.780
Are you a good steward of God's grace or are you like

365
00:22:08.780 --> 00:22:16.940
the one who viewed God as harsh and hard and so you have fear?

366
00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:22.940
Are you one that has a view of God that is lack and so you hide?

367
00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:30.180
Are you one that has a view of God as a taker and not as a giver and so you hide?

368
00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:35.700
Are you one that God can't be trusted and so there's no increase?

369
00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:38.060
Do you see this?

370
00:22:41.260 --> 00:22:47.660
She thought about this and I said to her,

371
00:22:47.660 --> 00:22:51.140
I said, my little doggy is barking at me,

372
00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:55.380
getting excited over here and so I said,

373
00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:56.340
how and she says,

374
00:22:56.340 --> 00:22:57.380
I helped them get at home.

375
00:22:57.380 --> 00:23:00.220
I said, I want you to think about something.

376
00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:03.940
I want you to think about,

377
00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:07.260
come here, you're going to be noisy,

378
00:23:07.260 --> 00:23:08.860
I'll let everybody see you.

379
00:23:08.860 --> 00:23:11.140
There, everybody can see you.

380
00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:12.940
Your audience is watching you,

381
00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:14.940
they're going to fall in love with you.

382
00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:21.580
I said, if you help them get in their dream home,

383
00:23:21.580 --> 00:23:24.820
how does that and so whatever it is for you,

384
00:23:24.820 --> 00:23:26.340
if you heal their nervous system,

385
00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:29.300
if you bring their family back together,

386
00:23:29.300 --> 00:23:33.820
if you help them to take care of their elderly better,

387
00:23:33.820 --> 00:23:35.180
if you help them,

388
00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:37.100
whatever it is that you're called to do,

389
00:23:37.100 --> 00:23:42.100
the gifts that have been entrusted to you that you're called to employ and serve one another,

390
00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:45.260
how does that change their family?

391
00:23:45.260 --> 00:23:47.860
How does that change their legacy?

392
00:23:47.860 --> 00:23:49.500
How does it change their finances?

393
00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:51.500
How does it change their health?

394
00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:55.180
I said, now you've got to,

395
00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:56.540
as a steward,

396
00:23:56.540 --> 00:24:01.060
help them be a carrier of the vision for them.

397
00:24:01.060 --> 00:24:01.860
In other words,

398
00:24:01.860 --> 00:24:06.620
seeing them what maybe they can't even see in themselves,

399
00:24:06.620 --> 00:24:07.500
see them.

400
00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.980
This is what Jesus did.

401
00:24:09.020 --> 00:24:11.140
This is a very powerful,

402
00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:12.900
powerful point.

403
00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:16.460
See the person as God sees them.

404
00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:20.220
See them from the place of potential.

405
00:24:20.220 --> 00:24:22.860
See them from a place of healed and whole,

406
00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:24.260
shalom, nothing missing,

407
00:24:24.260 --> 00:24:25.220
nothing broken.

408
00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:27.420
Hold that vision for them.

409
00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:28.980
Speak it.

410
00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:30.540
Encourage them with it.

411
00:24:30.540 --> 00:24:31.940
Inspire them.

412
00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:33.740
Hold that vision for them.

413
00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:37.980
Communicate the transformation in advance.

414
00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:39.220
Say, here's what we're going.

415
00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:41.100
We're going to get you in a house.

416
00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:42.180
Here's what's going to happen.

417
00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:44.260
We're going to get that trauma healed.

418
00:24:44.260 --> 00:24:45.380
Here's what's going to happen.

419
00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:48.020
We're going to get you stepping into your confidence

420
00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:51.100
so you can fully be what God has called you to be.

421
00:24:51.100 --> 00:24:52.740
You see how that works?

422
00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:57.740
And so we're holding that vision for them.

423
00:24:59.020 --> 00:25:00.140
We're stewarding.

424
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.680
that. And she says, Oh, I see. I've been withholding, because

425
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:13.840
I was afraid that it's been too long or being rejected or

426
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.680
whatever. I've been withholding. And I said, Sister, I want you

427
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.200
to write down these two laws. And each one of you know this,

428
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.720
write these down two laws. Number one, the law of giving

429
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:32.760
and receiving. Give, and you will receive, and you'll receive

430
00:25:32.760 --> 00:25:37.000
multiplied give and you'll receive what does it say, press

431
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.080
down, measure together, spilling over what God does always has

432
00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:46.440
overflow, you plant one seed, you get back 100 seeds, you

433
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:50.520
nurture one client, you get back 10 clients in abundance and joy

434
00:25:50.520 --> 00:25:53.960
and love. You see, it always comes back and multiply give and

435
00:25:53.960 --> 00:26:00.360
it's given unto you. Principle number one, number two, withhold

436
00:26:01.040 --> 00:26:06.720
and it's withheld from you. Whatever you're not receiving is

437
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:13.720
what you're withholding either from others or from yourself. So

438
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.360
it says that if we sow sparingly, we reap sparingly, if

439
00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:25.360
we withhold, we get back little. But if we if we so lavishly, we

440
00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:30.520
get back lavishly. So I pray that, you know, this little

441
00:26:30.520 --> 00:26:36.640
teaching, whether you're a gardener or or not, I pray that

442
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.400
you're really thinking about this idea of sowing and reaping

443
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:42.760
and of stewardship. So we're going to get together and talk

444
00:26:42.760 --> 00:26:48.840
about it collectively right now and let it go deeper in. So I'm

445
00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:53.080
going to stop the recording and let's talk about this.
