00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.160
Hey everyone! All right, so I'm doing a recording outside today because it's so pretty. I don't

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.520
know if you can hear the wind blowing, but you could at least see the trees. It's so

3
00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:20.040
pretty out here. Oh my word, it feels very odd to believe that it's already fall. And

4
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:24.240
in fact, Ed was talking about the fact that there were so many leaves falling that it

5
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.560
looked like snow. And he's from the Northeast, so he would know what snow looks like. Me,

6
00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:39.320
not so much. But I'm very excited to talk today about today's topic because it is Who

7
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:48.360
Does God Say That I Am? I know I say this every time, but this was a huge, huge turning

8
00:00:48.360 --> 00:01:00.400
point for me. Huge. Because there were things about God, I think, that I believed more

9
00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:05.640
about what he said. Meaning that I believe that God was who he says that he was. More

10
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:11.240
that I believe that I was who God says that I was. I think that I just had had so much

11
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:22.680
teaching, just had been in so many, so much of a, how would you put that? I don't know,

12
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:33.080
just any, was immersed in environments that taught and believed that we were just evil,

13
00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:37.320
you know, at our very core, that we needed to remember how bad that we were, we needed

14
00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:43.640
to remember that we were sinners, etc. And for instance, I mean, we talked about the fact that,

15
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:50.920
well, we need to know that we're sinners in order to want to be saved. And I'm like,

16
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.560
that's absolute focus. Why would we want to be saved? In order to be close to the Lord,

17
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:04.440
in order to be unified with him, because the good, in my opinion, is a lot stronger of a

18
00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:12.440
pull and a power to get us to motivate us to change than a negative of like what we want to

19
00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:20.280
escape from, right? So it's not that the negative can't be a motivation, but I believe just because,

20
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.840
you know, for instance, God even says that his kindness leads to repentance. My goodness,

21
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:31.080
if that's God's choice, it must be pretty powerful motivator, that something that we're

22
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:38.920
more motivated by and driven by and able to keep a sustained motivation by being driven by a

23
00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:51.640
positive and being driven by the repelling from the negative. So anyway, this was just a huge,

24
00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:59.400
huge groundbreaking thing for me to step into to begin to choose that I was who God says that I was

25
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:06.760
and to act like it. It changed everything. We touched a bit on it during the community group

26
00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:11.000
yesterday. And so I'm going to flesh it out a bit more today because this will,

27
00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:19.320
this is something that you need to take into every single aspect, not just of the breakthrough

28
00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:23.320
program, like when you're filling out your journal every day, the way that you approach it,

29
00:03:23.320 --> 00:03:28.120
but literally how you wake up in the morning, how you go throughout your day,

30
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.040
how you make plans, how you respond to things, how you respond to your children, how you respond

31
00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:38.520
to things that work, how you respond to yourself, whatever, how you respond to the Lord. It all

32
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:45.480
needs to come from the approach that you remember that you are who God says that you are. And by

33
00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:49.880
remember, I simply mean that you've made that choice in that decision and that you're now

34
00:03:49.880 --> 00:03:56.680
shifted in that direction. Not that you always consciously remember it. I just mean that your,

35
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:02.440
that your soul has made the decision. Okay. If God says that this is who I am, therefore,

36
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:07.080
that's how I've been going to make that choice. And there, and then I'm going to act like it.

37
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:13.080
I'm going to approach everything from that perspective. So literally it's going to change

38
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:19.399
everything. So, and we're going to be talking a lot about this, uh, over the next, you know,

39
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.800
several sessions, but today is what starts it. And because we're going to, like I said, we're

40
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:30.360
going to be talking a lot about God and about us. Um, all right. So first thing that I wanted to,

41
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:41.000
um, mention, excuse me. Oh man. Um, I wanted to just mention the story really quick as, uh,

42
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:48.600
a prophecy that was spoken over me when this person didn't even know that I was struggling

43
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:54.360
with my view of myself, because I always came across as very confident, um, very secure.

44
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.640
And people didn't know if I, people came up when they heard this prophecy publicly.

45
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.360
Austin church, they came up to me afterwards and said, Ashley, I have no idea.

46
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.040
You start like, well, you know, um, I can put it on a pretty good thing.

47
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.800
Uh, but, uh, my pastor at the time, this is probably like 12 years ago and said

48
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.400
that he very rarely gets prophecies for other people, but he was driving down

49
00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:22.680
the road and he got prophecies for two people and he gave the prophecy to one

50
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.040
man and then he turned to me and he said, Ashley way in the back, because I was

51
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.640
standing in the back there for worship.

52
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.680
And he said, Ashley way in the back, he said, you're the other one

53
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.280
that God gave me a prophecy for.

54
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:38.280
And he's, he said to tell you that he wants you to take his verse.

55
00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:40.280
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

56
00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:46.080
And he said, he wants you to flip those words and say, I am fearfully, um,

57
00:05:46.760 --> 00:05:54.020
I'm wonderfully and fearfully made because, um, he said that he said is by

58
00:05:54.060 --> 00:06:01.580
recognizing how wonderful that he's made you and the things that he's placed in

59
00:06:01.580 --> 00:06:09.420
you and him and how he expresses himself inside of you, meaning like through your

60
00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:12.100
personality, through your character, through your desires, through your

61
00:06:12.100 --> 00:06:17.020
dreams, um, through just who you are, what you, through your spirit, what comes

62
00:06:17.020 --> 00:06:26.140
out that he said that you're going to come to appreciate and fear God said it's

63
00:06:26.140 --> 00:06:28.740
by, so, and we're going to be talking about this later.

64
00:06:28.780 --> 00:06:31.980
Um, I think it's the second to last session about knowing

65
00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:34.140
ourselves so that we can know God.

66
00:06:34.780 --> 00:06:39.740
So it's important that yes, we know God so that we can know ourselves

67
00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:43.020
because as he is, so are we.

68
00:06:43.780 --> 00:06:46.900
But, and you'll notice that that is the verse that's in under your session

69
00:06:46.900 --> 00:06:50.700
notes is as he is, so are we in this world.

70
00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:54.620
So that's important, but the other is also important.

71
00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:59.300
Um, in fact, it mentions in Romans one, then it's by looking at creation, which

72
00:06:59.340 --> 00:07:03.620
our soul and our body are as well, that even the non-believers can know that

73
00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:08.540
there's a God and you said, and then they're without excuse, it says, so there

74
00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:14.140
even aspects of creation, ourselves, our souls and our bodies that reflect God.

75
00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:19.980
And he said, and the reason that the Lord wanted to encourage me in that is because

76
00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:23.140
he knew I kept tearing myself down.

77
00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:24.340
God, you're wonderful.

78
00:07:24.340 --> 00:07:26.100
God, you're this God, you're that.

79
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:27.220
And I'm a worm.

80
00:07:28.060 --> 00:07:31.060
I am not just lowly Lord.

81
00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.060
I am evil.

82
00:07:32.140 --> 00:07:35.820
I am a sinner and I just appreciate you looking, you know, being

83
00:07:35.820 --> 00:07:37.300
willing to give me the time of day.

84
00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:41.820
And, and I thought that that was the godly approach.

85
00:07:41.820 --> 00:07:43.260
I thought that that's what God wanted.

86
00:07:43.700 --> 00:07:47.580
And I came to, and so he, I heard this prophecy and I thought, okay,

87
00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:48.860
well, that's so interesting.

88
00:07:49.220 --> 00:07:53.460
Maybe I need to start honoring, you know, that my desires and my dreams, et cetera.

89
00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:56.300
It took me another 10 years to really get the hang of it.

90
00:07:56.940 --> 00:07:59.900
But when I finally did, I said 10 years, maybe.

91
00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:01.180
Yeah, about 10 years.

92
00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:05.340
I was going to say maybe it was longer than that, but about 10 years before I

93
00:08:05.380 --> 00:08:10.620
finally hit an even more of a rock bottom than I had back then.

94
00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:16.140
Cause back then was somewhere around my wasn't quite, I think it was maybe like

95
00:08:16.140 --> 00:08:19.260
a two or three years after my crisis at faith, but it was still in the middle

96
00:08:19.260 --> 00:08:26.380
of major, major depression and where I got that prophecy and anyway, it took

97
00:08:26.380 --> 00:08:31.060
me about 10 years from, from that point to finally realize, okay, wait a minute.

98
00:08:31.900 --> 00:08:35.539
If God says that I'm all of these wonderful things in scripture and that

99
00:08:35.539 --> 00:08:38.820
this is how he views me, meaning like this is how he views all of us.

100
00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:44.660
He's expressed himself so intensely and so well, just look at like the song of

101
00:08:44.660 --> 00:08:48.340
Solomon, you know, you're the apple of my eye, you know, turn your eyes from me.

102
00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:49.300
They overwhelm me.

103
00:08:49.540 --> 00:08:51.740
We, we affect God like that.

104
00:08:52.060 --> 00:08:56.460
You know, if he would say things like that, I need to take him seriously.

105
00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:58.660
I'm not acting like it's true.

106
00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:01.140
I'm not living like it's true.

107
00:09:01.140 --> 00:09:04.180
I'm not making decisions like that, like it's true.

108
00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:11.380
And, and I had tried as much as possible to live a good Christian, powerful

109
00:09:11.380 --> 00:09:17.420
life, powerful, meaning like my life just felt like there was lots of movement,

110
00:09:17.420 --> 00:09:27.260
et cetera, I tried to do all of those things by allowing the concept, just

111
00:09:27.260 --> 00:09:33.060
the idea, the fact that God, the fact even that God said all of those things

112
00:09:33.420 --> 00:09:42.140
to be enough, but I wasn't making them so real to me and choosing that they

113
00:09:42.140 --> 00:09:47.700
were so real to me that I was risking my life by acting like it.

114
00:09:48.020 --> 00:09:50.100
That is what was missing.

115
00:09:50.380 --> 00:09:54.100
I wasn't making a willful intentional choice that it was true.

116
00:09:54.460 --> 00:09:58.300
It was more like I was trying to live vicariously through God's will, which I

117
00:09:58.300 --> 00:10:00.060
think y'all heard him and we talked about before.

118
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.080
or where, well, if God says that it's true, well, that I'm just going to, then I guess

119
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.520
that it's just going to happen.

120
00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:08.040
And that's how I'm going to be convinced.

121
00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:09.600
And that's not how faith works.

122
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.920
We'll be talking about faith either in the next session or the session after that.

123
00:10:12.920 --> 00:10:16.080
I think it's the next session, but anyway, session, the next session or the one after

124
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:23.680
that about the batch that no, our faith requires our willful and intentional decision.

125
00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:25.160
And how do we do that?

126
00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:28.280
We do that by realizing that we are who God says that we are.

127
00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:32.880
God says that we actually have a particular authority that we don't realize that we have

128
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:40.280
that has the right to make a decree, to make a decision, to make, um, to exert our will.

129
00:10:40.280 --> 00:10:44.840
And we point it towards something that God has already said is true.

130
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:54.040
Um, so, uh, when I finally decided 10 years later that I was going to risk my life by,

131
00:10:54.040 --> 00:10:58.440
you know, and risking like opportunities, relationships, finance, business, whatever,

132
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:04.360
by finally acting very differently, by actually approaching all of those things and making

133
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:11.200
decisions from the, from the perspective that I actually was who God says that I was.

134
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.160
I was that special.

135
00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:15.400
I do have that authority.

136
00:11:15.400 --> 00:11:17.240
Um, I am that treasured.

137
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.680
I am that good.

138
00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:22.000
I am as he is.

139
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.040
When I did that, my life started changing.

140
00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:29.360
Like I was explaining, um, in the community group, uh, in the, in the, in the group chat

141
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:37.680
yesterday that it was as if my life went from pastel colors into absolute technic technic

142
00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:45.280
color in every area of my life, simply because I changed two things that I actually chose

143
00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:48.280
that God really was who he says that he was to the degree.

144
00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:53.800
He said he is that, and that I was who he said that I was to the degree he said that

145
00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:58.600
I was that everything changed because I completely changed how I approached life.

146
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:04.160
I completely, it completely changed the decisions that I made, why I made them, which ones I

147
00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:10.400
made when I made them, where I went, what I did, who I spent time with.

148
00:12:10.400 --> 00:12:14.400
Everything was now determined by the fact that God was good.

149
00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:15.880
I was safe.

150
00:12:15.880 --> 00:12:27.240
I was, okay, there we go.

151
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.240
Sorry.

152
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:35.760
My husband, um, uh, was putting in his, uh, AirPods and apparently my computer connected

153
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:36.760
to his AirPods.

154
00:12:36.760 --> 00:12:38.120
So I had to turn my Bluetooth off though.

155
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.120
Now we're back.

156
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.640
Uh, and I've lost my train of thought, but anyway, that's okay.

157
00:12:43.640 --> 00:12:46.360
So let's, uh, dive right into the rest of it.

158
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.120
Um, for one of the first things that God says that, uh, we are is we are a new creation.

159
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:58.200
So that's one of the things that I kept using against myself is the fact that I was bad.

160
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:02.040
You know, I think it's Psalms is it Psalms that says, you know, the hardest deceitful

161
00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:03.040
above all things.

162
00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:06.080
And I was like, Oh my word, you know, I'm just a worm.

163
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.760
I'm horrible at the very core.

164
00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:10.840
Even God says that I'm evil.

165
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.880
So I bet that what happened, this is how I thought that it was.

166
00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:21.560
In fact, I was actually taught this, um, from my, I think my Bible teachers, uh, in high

167
00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:26.780
school and in elementary high school.

168
00:13:26.780 --> 00:13:32.880
And I think even college that, that Jesus couldn't stand looking at it or God couldn't

169
00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:36.680
handle looking at us because then he, because it can't be near sin.

170
00:13:36.680 --> 00:13:41.840
And that we're so sinful that what Jesus did is when Jesus died on the cross, he covered

171
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.840
us with his blood so that when God looks at us, he sees Christ.

172
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.840
He just sees.

173
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:53.960
So I thought it would, that his blood was like, almost like this blanket covering me.

174
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:55.720
Well, what's the problem with that?

175
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.320
The problem is it's covering me.

176
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.960
And so therefore God can't see me.

177
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:09.280
Therefore God still at the heart rejects me at the heart, but he'll accept me as long

178
00:14:09.280 --> 00:14:11.440
as he can't see me.

179
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.020
And he just sees Christ.

180
00:14:13.020 --> 00:14:18.760
He sees the blood, but there's nothing changed about me inside.

181
00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:21.720
The seed is still rotten.

182
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.380
You know, I'm still a sinner.

183
00:14:23.380 --> 00:14:24.380
I'm still bad.

184
00:14:24.380 --> 00:14:25.420
I haven't changed.

185
00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:27.880
And that is not what the Bible says.

186
00:14:27.880 --> 00:14:35.660
The Bible says that the old man died, meaning like our sinful flesh, that the old man died.

187
00:14:35.660 --> 00:14:37.700
It's not going to die.

188
00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:40.720
We keep thinking we're still trying to like conquer ourselves.

189
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:46.280
God says it's already happened that we've already died and we're now the new creature

190
00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:47.280
completely new.

191
00:14:47.280 --> 00:14:50.160
And he said, you're not the old man anymore.

192
00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:52.200
He said, the old man has died.

193
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.080
So why do you keep acting like the old man?

194
00:14:55.080 --> 00:15:00.080
Why do you keep doing all of these, these, these old habitual sins?

195
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.800
That's not who you are anymore.

196
00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:05.920
That the only reason you're doing them is out of habit, because that

197
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.280
used to come out of who you were.

198
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:12.440
But because it's no longer you, you don't have to do that anymore.

199
00:15:12.760 --> 00:15:16.360
Operate now out of who you are now, which is the new creature.

200
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.760
And so what does God say about the new creature?

201
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:25.880
He says that as it mentions, Oh, am I going to have to look it up here?

202
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.400
See, I'm going to get the right reference.

203
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.200
So that's what I am.

204
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:36.200
Oops.

205
00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:41.160
Um, I went too far.

206
00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:47.640
Uh, first John four 17, like what you have in your right under your session.

207
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:50.920
It's the first John four 17 as he is.

208
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.480
So are we in this world?

209
00:15:53.760 --> 00:15:56.880
Not so we will be in heaven.

210
00:15:57.160 --> 00:16:03.840
So we are right now in this world while we're here in this, in this world that

211
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:08.600
is still waiting for us to redeem it from its frustration, right?

212
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.640
We are currently as he is.

213
00:16:11.640 --> 00:16:14.680
So everything that he is, we are.

214
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.720
And if he's not like that, meaning like if there's something that he's not

215
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.840
like, we're not like that either as he is.

216
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.520
So where are we in?

217
00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:23.240
Why is that?

218
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.440
It's because we died and we're no longer living, but Christ lives within us.

219
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:29.440
We are.

220
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.400
Because we're so united with him.

221
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.240
We are Christ walking on earth.

222
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:41.720
Christ is now walking in earth, walking on earth in each of us.

223
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:43.680
Because we're all part.

224
00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:46.720
We've been united with him as one body.

225
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.160
We are his body.

226
00:16:48.400 --> 00:16:51.280
So we're the arms and the legs of Christ.

227
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.000
Again, our flesh has now died.

228
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.760
That was an opposition to God.

229
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:01.200
And that, and now it's been replaced by Christ himself.

230
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.840
You haven't been fixed up.

231
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.400
You've been completely replaced.

232
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.839
Not that you're not yourself.

233
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:17.160
It's that you in your own unique aspect of your spirit is so united with Christ.

234
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.440
And Christ is more, what'd you call it?

235
00:17:21.280 --> 00:17:23.520
Oh, what's the word that the Bible uses?

236
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.240
He's the, not the firstborn.

237
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:28.119
Oh, what is it?

238
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:32.200
Uh, well, man, I can't think of the word.

239
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.280
There's a word for it, but basically it's, uh, it's referencing the fact

240
00:17:36.280 --> 00:17:37.920
that Christ always goes before.

241
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:39.640
He's always above, right?

242
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:44.520
Even Christ being the head of the body, he's always above the body.

243
00:17:44.520 --> 00:17:45.760
So he's always first.

244
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:47.200
He's the firstborn.

245
00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:49.200
There's he has the preeminence.

246
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:50.800
That's the word that I'm looking for.

247
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.000
He always has the preeminence.

248
00:17:53.000 --> 00:18:01.360
So even though we're one with him, he always has preeminence in being, uh, in

249
00:18:01.360 --> 00:18:05.960
a way we are just as important as he is because we're one, but because he has

250
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:11.280
the preeminence, he's in that aspect, he's more important than we are.

251
00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:12.120
Does that make sense?

252
00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:16.640
So it's like, here's the reason that I want to like emphasize this point.

253
00:18:17.040 --> 00:18:18.920
That is now who you are.

254
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.760
You are now nothing to be afraid of.

255
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.160
That is so important right now.

256
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.040
We are currently, I'm just making a blanket statement, you know, and so

257
00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:32.080
many aspects of our lives, because we are trying to serve the Lord and

258
00:18:32.080 --> 00:18:37.560
because we want to please him, we are going through life, looking at

259
00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:44.080
ourselves as, and making decisions from the perspective that we are afraid of us.

260
00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:45.560
We're afraid of what we can do.

261
00:18:45.560 --> 00:18:50.400
We're afraid of the, our potential to evil, our potential to not obey God,

262
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:56.320
our potential to be destructive to ourselves and to other people.

263
00:18:56.520 --> 00:18:57.680
And that is not true.

264
00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.560
There's no seed.

265
00:18:59.560 --> 00:19:07.840
There's no root in us for that potential of destruction to be born from.

266
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.600
It doesn't exist.

267
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:15.680
So we don't have to be afraid of something that doesn't even exist.

268
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.840
We don't have to be afraid that, Oh, well, the more I let go, we're

269
00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:20.880
trying so hard to do the right thing.

270
00:19:21.120 --> 00:19:26.680
The more likely I am to, for the real me that I've always heard with bad

271
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:28.760
is going to come out and I'm going to be even worse.

272
00:19:28.760 --> 00:19:33.160
So the only way that I can actually please God, this is what we think.

273
00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:37.000
The only way that I can actually please God is if I work really, really,

274
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:42.080
really hard to stifle myself, to restrain myself, to put myself under

275
00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:47.880
tremendous amount of personal governance and restraint, not governance is in,

276
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.640
um, in a good way, but governance is in a bad way.

277
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:55.160
Like we are, uh, we're being tyrannical against ourselves.

278
00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:58.840
Um, and there's another, another word.

279
00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:00.000
It's, uh,

280
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.400
Um, beyond, uh, that's different than tyranny, but anyway, I can't think of it.

281
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.560
But anyway, it's like, we're being tyrannical with ourselves and we don't,

282
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:13.380
and that is approaching it from the belief that we're, that at our very

283
00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:17.260
root of ourselves, at our very, very seat of ourselves, that we're bad.

284
00:20:18.760 --> 00:20:24.140
It's that basic and foundational and simple of a choice that we have to make

285
00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:25.920
in order for everything to change.

286
00:20:26.820 --> 00:20:30.760
And our lives, we have to choose that we're good.

287
00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:33.460
We have to choose that we're holy.

288
00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:36.860
We have to choose that we are who God says that we are.

289
00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:38.340
Who does God say that we are?

290
00:20:38.340 --> 00:20:39.900
He says that we are him.

291
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.780
He says that we are like him, meaning we're him meaning like we are ourselves,

292
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:51.260
but we're so united with him that because we carry his DNA, then that

293
00:20:51.260 --> 00:20:54.180
DNA inside of us is his DNA.

294
00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:58.200
And therefore we act just like he has, we have the tendencies

295
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:00.000
that he has the tendencies towards.

296
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.420
We have the temperament of him.

297
00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:04.240
We're just the same.

298
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:09.540
Remember that the, that the son always bears the DNA of his father.

299
00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:13.500
We know when a mother and father, you know, when a man and woman

300
00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:18.580
come together and create a baby, the baby always carries the DNA of his

301
00:21:18.580 --> 00:21:20.460
father and the DNA of his, of his mother.

302
00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:24.440
There's no third DNA that's uniquely his own.

303
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.860
No, it's the only uniqueness is the fact that it's combined between

304
00:21:28.860 --> 00:21:31.800
the father and the mother, but you know what, all of your siblings

305
00:21:31.800 --> 00:21:34.360
carry the same DNA as you do.

306
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.080
They carry the father and the mother.

307
00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:41.920
It's just that certain, uh, certain genes were picked from the father's DNA

308
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.740
is a half strand of his DNA.

309
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.100
And certain genes were picked from your half strand of your mother's DNA.

310
00:21:47.100 --> 00:21:49.800
That means it makes you and your siblings all uniquely different.

311
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.280
But they all had to have that.

312
00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:56.000
They all had to have a source that already existed.

313
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:02.820
So even though you pick certain, your body picks certain genes to operate out

314
00:22:02.820 --> 00:22:06.620
of from your father and your, and your siblings picked had different genes

315
00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:12.500
picked for them, those genes still existed prior to you is the same.

316
00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:15.580
And so what you're carrying is you were literally carrying the combination

317
00:22:15.580 --> 00:22:18.300
of the, of the DNA of your mother and the DNA of your father.

318
00:22:18.300 --> 00:22:22.280
Well, if we're born strictly from the Lord and there wasn't any like female

319
00:22:22.280 --> 00:22:28.320
or whatever, we are carrying our father's DNA, so you are like him.

320
00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:32.440
But again, just like a son can carry the DNA of his father, but he's not his

321
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.840
father, we carry the DNA of our father.

322
00:22:36.260 --> 00:22:40.180
And we've, um, so we're just like our father, but because we're

323
00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:41.920
a son, we're not our father.

324
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:46.440
So there's, there's a fascinating, um, uh, there's.

325
00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:48.980
Would you pull, I don't know.

326
00:22:49.620 --> 00:22:53.660
I've got these words that I know are, are in existence and I can't see, and

327
00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:58.620
I'm not pulling the forward right now, but there's this aspect that is, it's.

328
00:22:59.020 --> 00:23:03.260
That we think of as a contradiction, but, but both of these are actually

329
00:23:03.260 --> 00:23:06.380
in play at the same time, because of course this is spiritual and not a

330
00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:09.940
physical phenomenon and therefore all kinds of things can happen in the spirit

331
00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:12.420
that God didn't create to be able to happen in the physical.

332
00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:15.580
And that's the fact that certain things that can't happen in the physical

333
00:23:15.760 --> 00:23:18.880
can both happen at the same time in the spiritual, and that is

334
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.440
that you can be one, but separate.

335
00:23:22.320 --> 00:23:25.760
So, um, think of it, like, think of it like this.

336
00:23:25.760 --> 00:23:28.720
And I, and I know that some of this is going to be.

337
00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:34.720
Uh, a repetition of some stuff from the rest intensive, but it's, it's so

338
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.360
vitally important for us to remember.

339
00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:42.160
It's so very foundational to everything else, breakthrough, all of this stuff

340
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:44.440
that we're talking about, you know, the breakthrough program, none of it is

341
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.300
complicated, it is all extremely simple.

342
00:23:46.300 --> 00:23:51.220
It's that we're not allowing it to be as powerful as it is in its simplicity.

343
00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:55.220
We need to just take this simplicity for what it is and

344
00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:57.980
allow it to permeate everything.

345
00:23:57.980 --> 00:24:00.180
That's, what's going to make it so powerful in our lives.

346
00:24:00.460 --> 00:24:01.220
It's not.

347
00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:04.700
Making the, just getting ahold of a simple concept and then just

348
00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:06.100
making it more and more complicated.

349
00:24:06.100 --> 00:24:07.700
And that's going to give us a greater breakthrough.

350
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.340
It's the opposite is taking it for the simplicity that it is how

351
00:24:11.340 --> 00:24:17.480
very, these, these easy, simple concepts and then allowing those and then, and

352
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:24.680
then grabbing ahold of those to such an intense, um, a soul existence depth,

353
00:24:25.040 --> 00:24:28.880
you know, to the very core of our being that it completely transforms

354
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:30.360
us, just the simple little things.

355
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.920
So, uh, back to what I was saying.

356
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.500
Um, I know that I've already talked about this in, um, in the rest

357
00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:44.040
intensive, but, um, God, when he separate, when he created us.

358
00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:47.160
And it may it's mentioned this in, um, multiple passages.

359
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.020
So, um, let me take a little bunny trail just for a second so that you

360
00:24:51.020 --> 00:24:52.680
know that this is founded in scripture.

361
00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:59.600
Um, if you go to Ephesians one, four, it says, God chose us in him before the

362
00:24:59.600 --> 00:25:00.040
creation.

363
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.640
of the world. So before the world was ever created, God looked inside himself and chose us.

364
00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:11.920
And that I, I believe is when we were born. In other words, God wanted to have fellowship with

365
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.720
something. And this is the point that I'm trying to make. God wanted to have fellowship with

366
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:19.280
something, but there was nothing outside of him that he wanted to have fellowship with.

367
00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:24.640
He probably had angels and that wasn't going to cut it. You know, he had, I don't know what else

368
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:29.520
he had, but you know, maybe other spirit beings that he created. I don't know, but he had other

369
00:25:29.520 --> 00:25:34.640
things. He was like, nope, none of those things are going to do. I want something else that I

370
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:42.640
want to have relationship with. So he took, he, he looked inside himself, found us, chose us,

371
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.640
and, and created us as our own entity. Why? So that he could have relationship. He can't

372
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:58.080
have a relationship with something that you're one with. Right. And, and so if you,

373
00:25:59.040 --> 00:26:03.360
so in order to have relationship with the thing, so you've got the benefit of the union. Yeah. The

374
00:26:03.360 --> 00:26:10.480
benefit of being one with it, but what benefit is that really, if you don't have something to have

375
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:14.880
relationship with. So he decided to give himself the best of both worlds. He created something that

376
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:20.400
had its own unique entity apart from him. I don't mean that it can exist apart from him, but just

377
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:26.240
that it was unique from him, but it still carried all of his DNA. So it was something he could

378
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:34.000
relate to. And so anyway, created us as our own unique entity, but then with the death of Christ,

379
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.480
he allowed us to be reunified because he didn't want us to, he didn't want to be separated from

380
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:44.320
us. He wanted the benefit of both. He wanted the relationship within union, talk about perfect.

381
00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:47.680
And that's what I was saying about the spirit, the difference between the spiritual and the

382
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:53.120
physical. You can't do that in the physical. You can't be separate, but one, the closest thing

383
00:26:53.120 --> 00:27:00.960
that we can get to something to that kind of an idea is something like an egg. You've got the yolk,

384
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:09.840
the egg white and the shell. So that's the closest that they have been able, that people

385
00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:15.920
have been able to use as an example of something that's three in one. And that doesn't even quite

386
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.280
work itself, but because they're all so very, very different and they all function so very differently,

387
00:27:21.280 --> 00:27:27.360
but you know, so we can't really, we don't really have a physical picture of what God is talking

388
00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:34.480
about in the spirit. So anyway, in the spirit, we are, we're unified with him, but we're also have

389
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:43.200
a uniqueness about us. And the reason, and so the reason that God created it, that us is for

390
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:49.280
relationship with him. And there was one more passage that I wanted to point out, not in addition

391
00:27:49.280 --> 00:27:58.000
to, uh, uh, Ephesians one, four, there's also Jeremiah, Jeremiah one, five, before I formed you

392
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:06.240
in the womb, I knew you. So apparently you're in existence and I don't think it was in the mind and

393
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:12.160
the imagination and the anticipation of God. I think it was in reality. I think that's what he's

394
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:19.200
saying is my point before I formed you in the womb. I knew you before you were born. I set you

395
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.840
apart. So you can say, Oh, before you were born, I set you apart. You could say, well, it's because

396
00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:30.320
a fetus is actually a real baby. Sure. But what about the one before that, before I formed you

397
00:28:30.320 --> 00:28:36.480
in the womb, I knew you. So I personally believe that it means that there's an aspect of you that

398
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:42.160
was in existence, whether you were conscious of it or not. I don't know that there were that you

399
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:51.280
are more than the aspect of you that experiences this world. You're that important. You're that

400
00:28:51.280 --> 00:29:00.560
valuable. You're that, um, eternal and, and you were more than what you do for God here on this

401
00:29:00.560 --> 00:29:09.120
earth, because apparently you had existence and value to the Lord prior to creation. Um,

402
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:20.160
okay. So, so anyway, so you are, you're a new creation. Oh, that was the other thing I wanted

403
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:31.280
to say, uh, and to remember which, um, what the, what the verse is because I write, I've written

404
00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:42.640
it down somewhere. Um, okay. Did I write it? I thought that I did just one second, because

405
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:49.520
the reason I want this reference is it's, it's a very, here it is. Okay. So it's, it's, um,

406
00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:52.800
yeah. So what does God expect of me? So we're going to be talking about this in the next session,

407
00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:59.840
but I want to point it out. Hebrews. No, it is not. That is

408
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:11.920
It's not right. Here it is. Okay. 1st John 3.9. That's what it is. Okay. 1st John 3.9. So 1st John, by the way, is a really neat book. It's very short. I recommend, you know, just reading it and reading through it.

409
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:24.160
In between, you know, this, this session and maybe the next one. And like I said, it's very short. You just read it in the setting. And because remember that the prior verse as well that we had talked about

410
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:51.040
as he is, so are we, that's also found in 1st John. I think that's 1st John 4.9. And this one is, sorry. I had a really big ant crawling on me. He was very large. Okay. 1st John 3.9. And so this one is whoever, whoever, whoever has been born of God does not sin for his seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he has been born of God. So there you go.

411
00:30:51.600 --> 00:31:06.560
There's nothing about yourself who it is at your core that you need to be afraid of. But here's the thing that all sounds great in concept, but it will not change our lives unless we actually choose that it is true to that intense.

412
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:12.640
And to that intense of a degree to that great of a degree.

413
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:25.840
And that, and don't worry about thinking, well, about being afraid again of yourself thinking, well, what if my head gets too big?

414
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:35.200
You know, what if I start making decisions because I just think I'm that powerful. If you keep the, if you keep this understanding.

415
00:31:35.280 --> 00:32:00.400
If that understanding, you know, of the fact that you, that who it is that you are in your spirit, your soul and your body, they sin. I do need to point that out. The soul and body sin, because remember what is sin? Sin is unbelief and your soul and your body, according to Romans 8 are still subject to frustration because they are part of creation and they, therefore there's aspects of it that don't quite believe God.

416
00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:11.680
They don't feel safe with God, right? But who are you? Where's the seat of your identity? It's in your spirit. Your spirit is the new creation. Your spirit is the one that has been completely reborn.

417
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:35.680
And it is your spirit, man, that, that is your true identity. And that first John three, nine says does not ever sin. And that it's impossible, depending on which version you, which translation you read, certain translations say it is impossible for you to send. It is impossible for your new man, your spirit man to sin.

418
00:32:36.640 --> 00:33:03.680
It is. So don't worry about being about, oh, well, what if I get a really big head or get so reckless in how I make decisions because I realize all my work, look at all of the power and the authority that I have, et cetera, that will be in kept in check by remembering again, the, who you really are.

419
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:21.680
You're not just all powerful and you're all whatever you carry God's DNA. You were Christ. Christ is in you. You're one with Christ, who it is that you are is his character, his temperament, his personality. So, so to speak.

420
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:36.680
So, so to speak, his, his tendencies, like I said, his character of his goodness and love in the extent to which he and the degree to which he is goodness and love you. Christ loves the unlovable. So do you.

421
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:51.680
You just have to discover that if you've been stifling yourself, you've not been allowing that part of yourself to show forth. So you haven't experienced that, that aspect of yourself that loves the unlovable, let alone seen it because you won't let yourself access it.

422
00:33:51.680 --> 00:34:06.680
Right. But it's there and you have to choose before you see it again, it's faith. God says that that's true. So you have to choose that it's true without even seeing evidence of it, but, and then that will allow, and then by choosing that that is who you are.

423
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:29.679
I promise you, you will, you will, you will then step into situations and start acting like it, you will find yourself doing and saying things that you didn't know were you because you finally just chosen that you weren't anything to be afraid of you were nothing for yourself to be afraid of you were nothing to be afraid of on the behalf of other people.

424
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:38.679
And like how they could, how you could accidentally hurt them or hurt their feelings or whatever by being yourself. I'm sorry there's that.

425
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:52.679
I have this bee who's like trying to like, I don't know, swirl around my legs and I thought I need to get up now I can just see him away.

426
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.679
But you will just, you will.

427
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.680
And you will discover things about yourself, you will automatically.

428
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.500
act like automatically act like Christ.

429
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:13.820
If you stop trying to monitor yourself, because you think that you need to, you

430
00:35:13.820 --> 00:35:19.420
think that you need to, your job is to restrain yourself.

431
00:35:20.420 --> 00:35:25.680
Um, your job is to, because again, that's from this deep belief that there's

432
00:35:25.680 --> 00:35:31.440
something wrong that you need to defend against, meaning like that you need to

433
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.720
protect yourself or other people against.

434
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:38.440
Um, and that is going to carry forth therefore in how you act.

435
00:35:38.560 --> 00:35:38.960
Why?

436
00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:42.240
Because how you act is always going to stem from what it is.

437
00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:44.240
You chose to believe what it is.

438
00:35:44.240 --> 00:35:45.920
You chose was actually true.

439
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:50.000
So I keep thinking that the bees now on me and it's probably just my hair.

440
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:58.360
Um, uh, so that's why I'm saying that such a very, very simple thing is very

441
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:04.120
powerful and that we need to allow this power of that simplicity to be what

442
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:06.880
changes us, not all this complex stuff.

443
00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:14.280
I really want us to all to understand the basic truths, just the basic ones,

444
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:20.400
because the, that, and then making the reckless abandoned choice that they're

445
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.920
true will completely transform everything.

446
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:32.720
So if y'all have questions about and struggle with putting this into intense

447
00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:35.160
practice, not just kind of like, okay, I'm going to try it.

448
00:36:35.160 --> 00:36:35.760
No, no, no.

449
00:36:36.720 --> 00:36:42.000
Like completely recklessly, abandon yourself to it, your life, your

450
00:36:42.040 --> 00:36:44.800
interactions with your children, your interactions with your job.

451
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:48.360
If you're, if you're struggling with that, let me know if you have questions

452
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:52.280
about, about, about that and like say, okay, well, you know, Ashley,

453
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:53.800
here's the specific situation.

454
00:36:54.160 --> 00:36:58.880
Please ask me, because I want you to be able to, this is the perfect opportunity.

455
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:02.880
That's why I do these mentorship programs is because I want people to not just,

456
00:37:03.600 --> 00:37:07.400
if I just taught my goodness, y'all could just watch these by yourselves and you

457
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.080
wouldn't need, you know, personal interaction.

458
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:13.280
I want to be able to provide or be a resource for you to be able to ask

459
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:16.400
things of in live in the moment.

460
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:21.080
Um, so that you can grab ahold of it and really live it out.

461
00:37:21.720 --> 00:37:23.640
Um, okay.

462
00:37:23.640 --> 00:37:29.920
So, uh, so remember that you are something because he is that, so

463
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.520
that is how you know who you are.

464
00:37:31.520 --> 00:37:35.160
And that's why I always talked about, that's why I talked about first, who

465
00:37:35.160 --> 00:37:37.440
do we believe, who does God say that he is?

466
00:37:37.720 --> 00:37:43.880
Because if God says that you are who he is, you need to found then he, that

467
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:47.240
knowing who he is, is the foundation of knowing who it is that you are.

468
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:51.080
Um, so remember it means that you were good to that degree.

469
00:37:51.080 --> 00:37:53.120
You are loved to that degree.

470
00:37:53.120 --> 00:37:56.880
You are provider and protector, which is what we're going to be talking about soon.

471
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:02.920
You're a provider and protector for, um, maybe that's our next session provider

472
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.240
and protector for the rest of creation.

473
00:38:06.240 --> 00:38:08.040
Including your own soul in your body.

474
00:38:08.080 --> 00:38:12.320
They're waiting for you to step up and to operate in the

475
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:13.680
authority that God has given you.

476
00:38:14.720 --> 00:38:21.000
Now, uh, so the only thing higher than you is, is Christ who has

477
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:22.800
preeminence, but you're one with him.

478
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:24.800
So he's, he's Christ has the preeminence.

479
00:38:25.560 --> 00:38:29.920
And then above that, the only thing higher than you is Yahweh, you know, God.

480
00:38:30.560 --> 00:38:33.600
Well, I mean, they're all God, but you know, God, the father, God,

481
00:38:33.600 --> 00:38:34.480
the son, God, the Holy spirit.

482
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:36.000
But it is, is the father.

483
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.400
Um, all right.

484
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:44.880
So remember that we host the Lord and we reveal him.

485
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:46.400
That's another thing that you are.

486
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:50.400
You actually are carrying the kingdom with you, wherever it is that you go.

487
00:38:50.640 --> 00:38:54.600
Uh, Annette and I were talking about this in the, in the community, uh, in the group

488
00:38:54.600 --> 00:39:01.360
chat yesterday and the community group, um, we're talking about how you it's

489
00:39:02.120 --> 00:39:06.440
important that you grab, really grab a hold of and choose that you are who God

490
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:10.800
says that you are just again, very basic level and allow who it is that

491
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:12.680
you are to be revealed, to show up.

492
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.000
You don't have to know everything.

493
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:14.200
It is.

494
00:39:14.200 --> 00:39:18.480
You have to choose that you are just choose at the base root of you, that you

495
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:22.440
are good and that you are one and that you are aligned with God already

496
00:39:22.520 --> 00:39:28.160
automatically unconsciously without having to try, if you choose that all

497
00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:31.560
of the sudden, sudden, you'll start seeing the evidence that you are that

498
00:39:31.560 --> 00:39:33.040
thing, you'll start acting like it.

499
00:39:33.040 --> 00:39:34.920
And then you'll discover more about who you are.

500
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:35.160
Why?

501
00:39:35.160 --> 00:39:36.040
Because you just saw it.

502
00:39:36.640 --> 00:39:37.640
You just saw it happen.

503
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:39.160
You just saw you act like that.

504
00:39:39.200 --> 00:39:41.280
You just heard you say that, right?

505
00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:43.360
The evidence will manifest itself.

506
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:47.200
So you don't have to choose all these nitpicky little things in order to like

507
00:39:47.200 --> 00:39:49.200
instill in yourself that you are that thing.

508
00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:49.480
Okay.

509
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:53.320
Well, let's, let's, let's take on a new character trait today and let's

510
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:55.040
mature in a new character trait today.

511
00:39:55.040 --> 00:39:56.160
No, it's already there.

512
00:39:57.080 --> 00:39:59.560
Just choose the root level that you are good.

513
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:00.040
Meaning.

514
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.480
at your, that you are who God says, and you just, you are who God is.

515
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:04.040
And who is he?

516
00:40:04.040 --> 00:40:06.320
One of the very basic things is that you're good.

517
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:08.080
You're no longer a sinner.

518
00:40:08.260 --> 00:40:09.080
You're now a saint.

519
00:40:09.200 --> 00:40:11.800
You are completely 100% perfect.

520
00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:14.240
There's nothing wrong with who it is that you actually are.

521
00:40:14.240 --> 00:40:17.140
Remember, we're talking about your spirit, your soul, and your body.

522
00:40:17.140 --> 00:40:18.720
There's nothing wrong with them either.

523
00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:22.480
Meaning like God doesn't create bad things, but they're

524
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.960
currently subject to corruption.

525
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:25.240
Christ has already died for them.

526
00:40:25.240 --> 00:40:27.600
There's already victory for them, not victory.

527
00:40:27.600 --> 00:40:29.600
They can obtain, they already have it.

528
00:40:29.720 --> 00:40:31.740
They're just not acting like it because they don't know they're

529
00:40:31.740 --> 00:40:33.240
already living in victory, right?

530
00:40:33.500 --> 00:40:35.720
So there's nothing wrong with who it is that you are.

531
00:40:35.720 --> 00:40:37.120
God's going to redeem your soul.

532
00:40:37.120 --> 00:40:38.440
And he's going to redeem your body.

533
00:40:38.720 --> 00:40:40.840
Meaning like he's going to, no, go on.

534
00:40:42.120 --> 00:40:46.680
Um, meaning that it's who it is, your perfection and your goodness

535
00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:48.360
are going to show up in your soul.

536
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:49.760
And they're going to show up in your body.

537
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:51.520
You're going to experience it.

538
00:40:51.560 --> 00:40:53.960
Your soul and your body are going to get to experience it.

539
00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:58.640
And then the stifling that they're experiencing and the way that they're

540
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.160
acting out and misbehaving while they're under the oppression of frustration.

541
00:41:02.560 --> 00:41:05.960
Once the oppression of that frustration is lifted, who it is that

542
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.040
they are can start beaming forth.

543
00:41:08.520 --> 00:41:12.440
So who it is that you are, you know, who it is that your soul and your body

544
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.880
are, it's harder to see right now because they're just stifled under

545
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:17.320
the oppression and the frustration.

546
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:20.080
You're going to start seeing, but who it is that they are at the

547
00:41:20.080 --> 00:41:22.040
core underneath all of that is perfect.

548
00:41:22.340 --> 00:41:22.920
It's great.

549
00:41:23.240 --> 00:41:24.040
There's nothing wrong with that.

550
00:41:24.040 --> 00:41:24.800
God likes it.

551
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:28.280
God's like, Hey, we just need to, we just need to take that heavy blanket off.

552
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:28.680
Right.

553
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:33.560
Anyway, so who it is that you are at the core, you need to choose.

554
00:41:33.560 --> 00:41:33.920
Okay.

555
00:41:34.240 --> 00:41:35.040
I am good.

556
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:36.120
I am perfect.

557
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:37.720
I said, there's nothing wrong with me.

558
00:41:37.720 --> 00:41:39.800
He's not standing in judgment over me anymore.

559
00:41:40.040 --> 00:41:46.680
He's already judged when he saw Christ and he said, you know, in us.

560
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:48.600
And he was like, Oh yeah.

561
00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:48.960
Okay.

562
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.800
Now you're perfect.

563
00:41:50.600 --> 00:41:54.120
He's not, not seeing you because Christ covering you.

564
00:41:54.600 --> 00:41:58.760
He's now seeing you as perfect because you were coming, you completely

565
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.680
died and were reborn as perfect.

566
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:07.480
And so now because of Christ, he now sees you as perfect.

567
00:42:08.120 --> 00:42:11.800
He doesn't look at you, look in your direction, but see you actually

568
00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:14.680
is this blanket of blood and that's Christ.

569
00:42:15.040 --> 00:42:18.480
And he can't see you inside, but he just sees this blanket over this mound.

570
00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:20.720
And he's like, okay, well, since that mound is the blood of Christ,

571
00:42:20.720 --> 00:42:23.120
then that mound is fine in my eyes.

572
00:42:23.120 --> 00:42:23.760
No, no, no.

573
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.880
Uh, his blood transforms you.

574
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:31.680
So now when Christ looks at you, he sees perfection.

575
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:34.280
So very important.

576
00:42:34.520 --> 00:42:37.520
So anyway, we host and we, um, and we reveal him.

577
00:42:37.520 --> 00:42:43.360
So you, uh, you just focus on the fact that you are that very simple things

578
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:47.000
that you're good, that there's nothing wrong with you, that, um, you're not

579
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:48.880
something to be afraid of, et cetera.

580
00:42:49.120 --> 00:42:51.560
And then you'll start seeing that it's actually true.

581
00:42:51.560 --> 00:42:53.720
You'll start acting like it unconsciously.

582
00:42:53.720 --> 00:42:55.840
And that's how you'll discover more about who you are, because

583
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:56.720
you just did the thing.

584
00:42:56.720 --> 00:42:57.440
You said the thing.

585
00:42:58.240 --> 00:43:03.320
Um, so I keep, I keep trying to keep having a little bunny

586
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:05.520
trail, trying to make a point, but let me go back to the main

587
00:43:05.520 --> 00:43:06.400
point that I'm talking about.

588
00:43:06.640 --> 00:43:08.400
We host and we reveal him.

589
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:14.520
So when you realize that that is who you are, then when you go into

590
00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:19.000
situations like in business or with your family or with your children,

591
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:24.840
with your spouse, with the dishes, with, uh, your home, with negotiating

592
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:30.520
and refinancing, um, your, uh, your mortgage, whatever it is you are.

593
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:33.920
You are bringing by choosing that you are who God says that you are.

594
00:43:34.160 --> 00:43:38.200
You are aligning with the oneness that you have in Christ.

595
00:43:38.560 --> 00:43:42.280
And that you're choosing is the highest power and the authority in your

596
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:46.120
kingdom, which is like, you know, here on creation, anything that you've

597
00:43:46.120 --> 00:43:53.080
been given responsibility of by God, you are bringing that authority

598
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:58.160
into that kingdom, into the refinancing of your mortgage, into your

599
00:43:58.160 --> 00:44:03.000
interaction with your kids, into the argument with your husband, um, into

600
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:09.880
the, um, into the church, into leading the Bible study into, I don't know,

601
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:14.400
just contributing, uh, not even leading the Bible study, just contributing.

602
00:44:15.200 --> 00:44:20.600
Some, um, I didn't know some insights, you know, really quickly into, uh, into

603
00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:24.120
the middle of a Bible study, just whatever it is, or into, like I said,

604
00:44:24.120 --> 00:44:29.800
business in your projects, um, into, I don't know, any hobbies that you have.

605
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:34.960
Uh, any time that you go out and you're working on landscaping in your yard,

606
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:39.560
whatever it is that you're doing, you are bringing the kingdom of God in why?

607
00:44:39.600 --> 00:44:44.520
Because you're hosting Christ and you bringing Christ to the presence of

608
00:44:44.520 --> 00:44:49.280
Christ, the presence of God into a situation brings his kingdom, meaning

609
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:53.640
like all the principles by which the kingdom operates and the principles by

610
00:44:53.640 --> 00:44:57.520
which the kingdom operates always supersede the principles of the world.

611
00:44:57.720 --> 00:45:00.040
So when you bring in, when you're hosting Christ and.

612
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.180
You're bringing him into any situation.

613
00:45:02.500 --> 00:45:08.260
It means that God and his principles that do the miraculous, those will overpower.

614
00:45:08.260 --> 00:45:12.500
You are giving them permission to overpower any way in which

615
00:45:12.500 --> 00:45:14.020
the world would normally work.

616
00:45:14.220 --> 00:45:17.040
Anyway, that situation usually would have gone.

617
00:45:17.740 --> 00:45:21.340
It's God can come in and do something completely different simply

618
00:45:21.340 --> 00:45:24.380
because you're hosting him and you're bringing him into the situation.

619
00:45:25.140 --> 00:45:27.700
Um, and then also we reveal him.

620
00:45:27.700 --> 00:45:33.440
So when people look at us, they see Christ, they see God.

621
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:36.680
Remember that Christ said that, uh, when Philip asked me and said, you

622
00:45:36.680 --> 00:45:38.020
know, would you show us the father?

623
00:45:38.020 --> 00:45:42.700
And Christ said, if you've seen me, you've seen the father.

624
00:45:43.020 --> 00:45:46.660
So now that Christ is in us now that we're no longer living, but Christ

625
00:45:46.660 --> 00:45:52.960
lives within us and who is it that people see when they see us, they

626
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:55.300
see Christ and they see the father.

627
00:45:56.300 --> 00:45:58.100
You're carrying his very DNA.

628
00:45:58.100 --> 00:46:03.500
So when you are allowing yourself, you know, your true, your true nature,

629
00:46:03.500 --> 00:46:08.300
the nature of the father within you to be the thing that is on display,

630
00:46:08.300 --> 00:46:12.340
because you've stopped stifling who it is, you've are, you've stopped trying to.

631
00:46:14.580 --> 00:46:15.260
How do I put that?

632
00:46:15.260 --> 00:46:18.220
I keep wanting to use the word government, govern, govern.

633
00:46:18.700 --> 00:46:22.720
We do want to govern it, but that's a little, that's a little confusing

634
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:25.320
right now, because it sounds like we're trying to control it.

635
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:28.800
And that's not what I mean, or it sounds like we're trying to stifle it.

636
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:32.520
So let's just kind of like speak in very simple terms and like, not try to muddy

637
00:46:32.520 --> 00:46:36.840
the waters by talking about too many things at once you're trying to, and

638
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:38.840
just say, you're trying to govern it.

639
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:43.720
You're trying to constantly monitor it, to control it, to just watch

640
00:46:43.720 --> 00:46:45.600
it all the time, very vigilantly.

641
00:46:45.600 --> 00:46:47.320
And oh my goodness, you gotta, you gotta stay in the lines, you

642
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:48.000
gotta stay in the borders.

643
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:51.040
You gotta stay in the boundaries and you need to just let it go.

644
00:46:51.040 --> 00:46:56.240
You need to trust that, that you're going to make the right decision.

645
00:46:56.680 --> 00:47:01.600
You're going to effortlessly know what God is telling you to do in the moment.

646
00:47:02.040 --> 00:47:05.760
You're going to there, the love within you is going to rise when you

647
00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:08.960
interact with a specific person, whether they're being loving towards

648
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:10.600
you or they're being antagonistic.

649
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:18.160
You're going, if you effortlessly just allow who it is that you are to exist

650
00:47:18.160 --> 00:47:22.440
and be present in the moment, instead of trying to think, how should I be?

651
00:47:22.640 --> 00:47:23.960
How should I act?

652
00:47:24.120 --> 00:47:25.600
What should I say?

653
00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:32.280
If you effortlessly just exist and know that I am bringing myself, which is good

654
00:47:32.680 --> 00:47:37.240
and the presence of God into this place, God is going to give me everything

655
00:47:37.240 --> 00:47:38.680
I now need in that moment.

656
00:47:39.040 --> 00:47:41.800
And I'm now, and it's now going to come up out of me.

657
00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:42.200
Why?

658
00:47:42.200 --> 00:47:46.360
Because God, I'm one with God and God is my source of everything.

659
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:51.920
So if God is my source of everything, and I am one with that source, where what's

660
00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:57.240
the source, the source is in a manner of speaking, it's me now it's not you.

661
00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:00.120
It's God in you, but it's in you.

662
00:48:00.200 --> 00:48:03.480
The source is in you because it's in God.

663
00:48:03.520 --> 00:48:04.200
Who's in you.

664
00:48:04.640 --> 00:48:06.720
So you've got that with you.

665
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:12.040
You don't have to worry about like monitoring stifling and open yourself,

666
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:13.320
open yourself up.

667
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:18.560
What God is going to do when he like corrects or he like adjusts us is he's

668
00:48:18.560 --> 00:48:23.240
going to reveal to us how to recognize certain things that we thought were us

669
00:48:23.240 --> 00:48:26.280
that he's like, that's actually not you or that we thought were him.

670
00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:27.640
And he's like, no, that's actually not.

671
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:32.520
And you start to discover and to discern things that are naturally coming up out

672
00:48:32.520 --> 00:48:37.280
of you and to know whether that was the flesh or the spirit, but you have to learn

673
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.160
that by living it and letting it come out.

674
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:45.360
You can't recognize it and catch it beforehand.

675
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:51.160
That to live like that means that you will stunt your growth.

676
00:48:51.520 --> 00:48:56.880
You can't grow without letting it come out and to see it.

677
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:01.440
Um, so let's see here.

678
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:03.160
So we host and we reveal him.

679
00:49:03.200 --> 00:49:05.400
I thought that there was a scripture I was going to give you for us.

680
00:49:05.680 --> 00:49:06.320
Oh, for that.

681
00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:07.000
Um, here it is.

682
00:49:07.120 --> 00:49:09.440
Um, okay.

683
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:12.440
Galatians one, what was it?

684
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:14.640
Galatians one 15 to 16.

685
00:49:16.560 --> 00:49:22.280
But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace was pleased

686
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:27.280
to reveal his son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles.

687
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.680
I did not consult any man or did I go up Jerusalem?

688
00:49:29.680 --> 00:49:31.280
Did it went to me?

689
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:31.560
Okay.

690
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:31.960
Yeah.

691
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:37.280
So God revealed Christ in him.

692
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:41.560
You revealed his son in him and God does the same thing with us.

693
00:49:41.720 --> 00:49:44.560
He reveals himself in us.

694
00:49:44.560 --> 00:49:49.440
When people see us, they need to be able to see Christ and need to be able to see

695
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:49.640
God.

696
00:49:49.640 --> 00:49:52.920
The only way that we, that they can do that though, is, is, is if we stop

697
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:59.760
stifling ourselves and we allow ourselves to not just be seen, but to be.

698
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:08.660
Um, uh, but to be exposed to be open and to, and yes, it's vulnerable.

699
00:50:09.240 --> 00:50:10.640
It feels very, very vulnerable.

700
00:50:10.640 --> 00:50:12.480
It feels very vulnerable to ourselves.

701
00:50:12.720 --> 00:50:14.760
It was very vulnerable to others.

702
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:18.840
We're very vulnerable that we're putting ourselves in a posture of

703
00:50:18.840 --> 00:50:23.760
vulnerability to others, to ourselves and to God, but that is the only way

704
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:25.800
to actually grow is to be vulnerable.

705
00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:29.760
Um, without vulnerability, you will set your growth and you will never,

706
00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:36.720
and you won't grow beyond the point of your, um, of beyond

707
00:50:36.720 --> 00:50:37.720
your point of protection.

708
00:50:37.720 --> 00:50:41.240
So for instance, it's like when it's like, we always think of protecting

709
00:50:41.240 --> 00:50:44.640
ourselves and a lack of vulnerability as a wall, do we not realize that

710
00:50:44.640 --> 00:50:48.280
as we're trying to grow, we're trying to grow and we're trying to expand

711
00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:51.400
that if we built a wall to protect ourselves, that means you can't move

712
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:53.800
outside the wall and it means you're not growing anymore.

713
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:57.560
So when we defend and protect ourselves and we stifle ourselves, when we

714
00:50:57.560 --> 00:51:00.520
protect ourselves from ourselves, when we protect other people from ourselves,

715
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:02.360
we're actually stunting our growth.

716
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:04.800
You cannot grow without exposure.

717
00:51:05.160 --> 00:51:07.480
You cannot have exposure without being vulnerable.

718
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:11.440
If y'all have any detailed questions about that, please ask.

719
00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:17.560
You can just ask me on, you can do a video on WhatsApp or you can do a, um, uh,

720
00:51:17.600 --> 00:51:19.720
or you could just write it out, whichever is easier.

721
00:51:20.720 --> 00:51:27.520
Um, and I'm deciding to use WhatsApp instead of, um, instead of, uh, Facebook

722
00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:31.760
instead, uh, which Priscilla would know about all of this because Priscilla

723
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:35.560
does this type of thing, does something similar in her lady of the month

724
00:51:35.560 --> 00:51:38.960
club with, um, on text, I believe.

725
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:40.080
I believe it's text.

726
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:42.040
I think that that's what Priscilla and I've talked about.

727
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:45.040
Um, but who knows, maybe she's WhatsApp too.

728
00:51:45.080 --> 00:51:46.480
Maybe she has international people.

729
00:51:47.080 --> 00:51:48.320
Um, okay.

730
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:51.800
Remember that we're also, oh, and I don't have my scripture verse for this.

731
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:55.800
You can look this up on, um, uh, you can look at the scripture because

732
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:58.080
it references life giving spirit.

733
00:51:58.080 --> 00:52:01.160
We're no longer just a living soul of Adam.

734
00:52:01.160 --> 00:52:04.800
We are now in Christ, a life giving spirit.

735
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.920
So you are bringing life to creation.

736
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.000
Remember that we're hosting and revealing him.

737
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:11.480
You are bringing the kingdom of God.

738
00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:13.600
You're bringing the presence of God into a situation.

739
00:52:14.560 --> 00:52:18.240
The presence of God transforms everything.

740
00:52:18.280 --> 00:52:22.240
It transforms people into sons of God and it transforms and it

741
00:52:22.240 --> 00:52:24.920
releases creation from frustration.

742
00:52:25.680 --> 00:52:28.320
So you are that life giving spirit.

743
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:33.440
When you come into a situation and you too, meaning all of this is only if you

744
00:52:33.600 --> 00:52:36.920
choose that you are who God says that you are, if you bring in who you really

745
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.920
are and allow that thing to be exposed, allow that thing to be vulnerable.

746
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.160
Stop trying to question yourself all the time.

747
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:47.880
Stop trying to protect other people from you and keep yourself locked down and

748
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:50.400
watch this and watch that and be careful about this, make sure about this.

749
00:52:51.080 --> 00:52:56.240
If you stop doing all of that and you just rest and trust God that you're

750
00:52:56.240 --> 00:53:01.400
actually good, that you actually make good decisions, that you are kind,

751
00:53:01.600 --> 00:53:10.000
that you are loving, that you are of him rest in his protection of you and others.

752
00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:14.880
While you're learning to be open, while you're learning to be vulnerable, God,

753
00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:19.800
I'm no longer protecting myself and others from me, I'm asking God that you

754
00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:27.560
protect yourself, me and others from my flesh while I'm trying to learn to

755
00:53:27.560 --> 00:53:33.760
discern which is what is aspects of my flesh and what is aspects of my spirit?

756
00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:36.200
Because God right now, I'm just going to open.

757
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:37.760
That's what I did.

758
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:39.680
I just asked the Lord for that protection.

759
00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:41.080
I asked him for his provision.

760
00:53:41.600 --> 00:53:46.120
Um, I asked him to now take up the charge that I was now laying down

761
00:53:46.160 --> 00:53:48.520
again, life giving spirit sacrifice.

762
00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:52.000
I'm now laying it down like, like Abraham did with Isaac on the altar.

763
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.440
And I'm putting it on the alter and saying, God, I used to protect myself.

764
00:53:56.200 --> 00:53:58.520
And now I'm asking you to do that.

765
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:02.560
I used to protect other people from me.

766
00:54:03.520 --> 00:54:06.360
And now I'm going to give that up and I'm going to stop doing that.

767
00:54:06.680 --> 00:54:09.400
And I'm just going to stop doing all the things that I used to do to try to

768
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:13.080
protect myself, and I'm going to put that down, Lord, and I'm asking that

769
00:54:13.080 --> 00:54:18.160
you now take up that charge to do that while you mature and teach me in a safe

770
00:54:18.160 --> 00:54:25.440
place, how to discern between my flesh and my spirit, um, uh, let's see.

771
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:27.000
So anyway, you're a life giving spirit.

772
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:32.320
You're going to bring life with you into a situation you're going.

773
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:33.440
That's man.

774
00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:35.600
I'm trying to think of how deep I want to go with that.

775
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:37.240
I could, you could go really deep.

776
00:54:37.640 --> 00:54:40.640
You're, you're bringing something from heaven because you

777
00:54:40.640 --> 00:54:41.680
are a life giving spirit.

778
00:54:41.680 --> 00:54:43.200
Your spirit is from heaven.

779
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:45.200
It's going to win.

780
00:54:45.200 --> 00:54:47.920
The life that it brings is spiritual life.

781
00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:54.720
It's eternal life, meaning that it's redeeming creation from frustration.

782
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:58.720
It is moving us towards salvation.

783
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.900
it into freedom, that is powerful.

784
00:55:03.120 --> 00:55:07.500
That is such a powerful thing to be responsible for, to carry.

785
00:55:08.740 --> 00:55:18.420
It's, it's, it's a powerful, it's, it's, um, it's set, uh, that we're equipped

786
00:55:18.580 --> 00:55:27.840
to powerfully transform the things around us by ourselves, meaning like by, you

787
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:33.120
know, God, who God is in us and this bringing it into a situation, we're

788
00:55:33.120 --> 00:55:35.220
bringing life into that situation.

789
00:55:35.220 --> 00:55:36.480
That will completely change it.

790
00:55:36.620 --> 00:55:37.920
It'll completely transform it.

791
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:43.200
And it is so powerful that whenever, whenever, um, life from the spirit

792
00:55:43.200 --> 00:55:48.760
comes into a situation, comes into creation, it is forever changed.

793
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:54.880
To be spirit and can never die again because the flesh has to be is corrupted

794
00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:59.240
and can die flesh, I mean, spirit cannot be corrupted like that.

795
00:55:59.600 --> 00:56:02.720
So when you have brought in the kingdom of God and you planned it for God,

796
00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:07.040
only it can't ever change back.

797
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.520
What I'm trying to say, um,

798
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:20.800
um, yeah, I tried to write down the script, the scripture verse for the

799
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:22.600
life-giving spirit I'm now seeing.

800
00:56:22.640 --> 00:56:24.520
And, but I didn't write out the whole verse.

801
00:56:24.520 --> 00:56:27.240
So I don't even know what I have the chapter and verse, but

802
00:56:27.240 --> 00:56:32.760
apparently I don't have the, um, Oh, I don't have the, the book, but

803
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:34.600
let me check and see really quick.

804
00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:36.320
I may be able to guess the book.

805
00:56:41.240 --> 00:56:42.480
Oh, no, that's not it.

806
00:56:42.520 --> 00:56:43.760
Oh, I bet you.

807
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:49.360
What's that?

808
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:51.000
No, no, I can't.

809
00:56:51.160 --> 00:56:51.920
I can't figure that out.

810
00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:54.440
So, um, but you can look that up.

811
00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:59.240
It'll it's a verse that talks about Adam was, uh, was a.

812
00:57:01.720 --> 00:57:06.040
Um, living soul in, but Christ is a life giving spirit.

813
00:57:06.200 --> 00:57:10.560
So the interesting thing about Adam is he was a living soul.

814
00:57:10.720 --> 00:57:12.360
God breathed into him.

815
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:15.680
Christ gave life.

816
00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:17.040
That's who we are now.

817
00:57:17.040 --> 00:57:19.400
Remember that we are no longer under the old Adam.

818
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:24.000
We're now under the new Adam that the final Adam, the second Adam, the last

819
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:27.960
Adam, and the last Adam is a life giving spirit.

820
00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:33.280
So instead of always, instead of always having to, instead of them always

821
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:39.840
needing life, we're now giving life to creation because God is the, because

822
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:44.680
the life giving spirit, the life giving spirit of Christ within us, Christ is

823
00:57:44.680 --> 00:57:47.480
within us, so therefore we are now a life giving spirit.

824
00:57:48.080 --> 00:57:48.880
Um, okay.

825
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:52.200
The last thing I wanted to talk about is the, this authority and power.

826
00:57:52.200 --> 00:57:55.160
I know I keep referencing this authority and power that we need to realize

827
00:57:55.160 --> 00:57:56.680
that we have that authority and power.

828
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:03.520
Um, and what that, what I'm talking about with that is, um, that remember

829
00:58:03.520 --> 00:58:09.360
that, that Christ, that we're one with Christ and what does it say of Christ?

830
00:58:09.640 --> 00:58:13.000
It says that he, that all power and authority were given to him and

831
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:17.240
everything was placed under his feet, except for God, the father.

832
00:58:17.680 --> 00:58:20.800
It very specifically says everything was placed under Christ's

833
00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:22.920
feet, except for God, the father.

834
00:58:23.200 --> 00:58:28.120
And it was because obviously Jesus has proven himself faithful by, by not,

835
00:58:28.240 --> 00:58:36.640
not demanding or, or, um, taking up his right to anything and gave it up.

836
00:58:36.680 --> 00:58:39.520
And God's like, now I know that you're trustworthy.

837
00:58:40.240 --> 00:58:43.960
And so now I can entrust you with all power and authority.

838
00:58:44.520 --> 00:58:50.720
Um, anyway, so us being one with him, we now have all that same power and

839
00:58:50.720 --> 00:58:56.280
authority, not on our own, not just because Christ, no, but by being in

840
00:58:56.280 --> 00:59:01.320
Christ, operating in oneness with Christ, if he is operating in power and authority.

841
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:04.800
You know, I'm doing this kind of like it's flowing through us, you know,

842
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:06.040
we're in him and he's in us.

843
00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:11.720
If we're in him operating in power and authority, it means that we're then

844
00:59:11.720 --> 00:59:14.080
operating in power and authority because we're one with him.

845
00:59:14.080 --> 00:59:15.960
And if that's what he's doing, then that's what we're doing.

846
00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:17.400
And that's what we're capable of.

847
00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:19.000
And that's what we have access to, et cetera.

848
00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:25.040
So you can only operate in Christ's power and authority, um, by

849
00:59:25.040 --> 00:59:27.560
being in him, operating in him.

850
00:59:28.240 --> 00:59:33.280
You can't operate in his power and authority, not being one with him.

851
00:59:33.680 --> 00:59:41.280
So we don't have to worry about abusing it because in order to do

852
00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:44.520
something that looks like abusing his power and authority, you

853
00:59:44.520 --> 00:59:46.880
can't use his power and authority.

854
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:52.600
It has to, it's, it's some other spirits because there's, there's a lot of

855
00:59:52.600 --> 00:59:55.520
spiritual beings that the Lord created, you know, he created like a variety

856
00:59:55.520 --> 00:59:58.480
of different levels of angels, you know, the cherubim, seraphim, and all that.

857
00:59:58.840 --> 00:59:59.760
And then some of those are.

858
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:06.960
and angels now. And so they're very powerful beings. So the only way that you can operate

859
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:14.800
in a power and authority that is very powerful is if, um, you know, outside of Christ is if you're

860
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:22.240
using one of theirs. So if you just stay focused on and, and centered in, that's what I'm trying

861
01:00:22.240 --> 01:00:28.960
to say. If you always center yourself in who in Christ and in who he is and always operate from

862
01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:35.040
that place, the power and authority that you operate in from that place will always be his.

863
01:00:35.600 --> 01:00:43.360
So you don't have to worry. And then he doesn't allow his to be abused. The abuse looks is when

864
01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:49.760
we're using God's name, when we're using the power and the authority of some other spiritual being,

865
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:53.600
you know, that you're, that you've been given by some other spiritual being, or that the Lord gave

866
01:00:53.600 --> 01:00:58.560
man to operate in. Cause even non-believers can, can have dominion over creation, right?

867
01:00:58.560 --> 01:01:05.040
If they're doing that out of their own flesh, that's abusing their power, but that's not

868
01:01:05.040 --> 01:01:09.040
operating in Christ power and authority that's operating in the power authority he gave to man,

869
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:16.640
not to believers, to man, to just believers, non-believers that can be abused. If you're

870
01:01:16.640 --> 01:01:22.720
not using that correctly, God does not allow his power and authority power and authority

871
01:01:22.720 --> 01:01:29.200
of Christ himself cannot be used for evil. So you don't have to worry about that. You don't

872
01:01:29.200 --> 01:01:33.280
have to worry that, Oh my goodness, what if I, I need to be careful with this and whatever

873
01:01:34.720 --> 01:01:37.840
the, I mean, we do need to be careful, but it's like, God will.

874
01:01:39.200 --> 01:01:44.640
God will show you how to operate in it. He won't give you more than he won't. If you're too,

875
01:01:44.640 --> 01:01:51.360
he's not going to give you a knife, you know? So he'll only give you what it is that he has

876
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:59.040
shown you and taught you and matured you into how to operate in and be responsible for again,

877
01:01:59.040 --> 01:02:03.280
what we've talked about, why we go through spiritual wildernesses, it's preparation

878
01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:08.160
to expand and to put you in, to create you as a new wine skin, to be able to

879
01:02:09.200 --> 01:02:15.600
hold accommodate, be responsible for, be accountable for the new thing, because God's

880
01:02:15.600 --> 01:02:19.600
not going to give you the new thing until you go through the spiritual wilderness of being

881
01:02:19.600 --> 01:02:25.520
prepared to be able to handle it. Right. So again, uh, just because we have all this power

882
01:02:25.520 --> 01:02:29.360
and authority, we don't need to be afraid of ourselves and be like, Oh my goodness.

883
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:39.840
God hasn't given you're not, God will only give you access to and teach you how to have access to

884
01:02:39.840 --> 01:02:44.560
something that you can, that you've been gone through a spiritual wilderness to be responsible

885
01:02:44.560 --> 01:02:48.320
with handling. That's what the spiritual wilderness is for is to teach you how to be

886
01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:54.160
responsible for something. Right. So you just, you just open yourself up to allow yourself to

887
01:02:54.160 --> 01:02:59.840
learn from the Lord, how to be responsible with and hold all of those things. Um, uh, during,

888
01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:06.640
you know, during this time and, uh, but don't be afraid that you have more than, you know,

889
01:03:06.640 --> 01:03:13.520
how to handle and be again, my point is making my point in, in, and driving this home is

890
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:19.360
I'm after telling you, Hey, there's just, you know, don't be afraid of yourself. I didn't want

891
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:22.400
to say, Hey, by the way, you have all this power and this authority, and you're going,

892
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:27.600
I don't feel equipped for that. What if I use it wrong? You know, and then you're afraid of

893
01:03:27.600 --> 01:03:31.280
yourself again, there's nothing to be afraid of because God's only given you the amount that you

894
01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:35.920
can be responsible with, that he's taught you and matured you how to be responsible with.

895
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:40.560
Um, and we always have to, in the only way that we can, that we can use his power and authority

896
01:03:40.720 --> 01:03:48.400
is if we're looking at him and we're operating with him. So, um, so if you, if you don't operate

897
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:52.960
in him and with him, you don't get access to that power and authority. That's what I'm trying to

898
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:58.560
say. So you don't have to worry about that. What we just need to focus on is always seek him.

899
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:05.840
Then we get access to his stuff. If we're not seeking him, we don't have access to his stuff.

900
01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:11.760
So you don't have to worry about misusing his stuff. You know what? That's what God says,

901
01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:16.080
Hey, look, just seek you first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And all these

902
01:04:16.080 --> 01:04:25.680
things will be added into you. Okay. Um, okay. Uh, let's see here. Uh, so why is all of this

903
01:04:25.680 --> 01:04:33.840
important to, it's important to remember who does God say that you are part of what, of who you are

904
01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:42.080
is you are one that God has given the role of kingship to, and you have power to, you have,

905
01:04:42.080 --> 01:04:48.720
you have the authority to execute, to speak decrees, to make decisions of your will and God's

906
01:04:48.720 --> 01:04:53.360
will together. Because again, you know, it's not just you being a vigilante and doing what you

907
01:04:53.360 --> 01:04:59.040
want. You get to co-create with God, you and God co-counsel together and decide together as one

908
01:04:59.040 --> 01:04:59.840
spirit. You know,

909
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:05.360
spirit. My spirit is one. What do we want to do? How do we want to interact with this world,

910
01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:12.400
et cetera. Um, so you are in a position of kingship and you're given the power to execute

911
01:05:12.400 --> 01:05:18.400
the decision that you and God have decided reflects the character of God, which also

912
01:05:18.400 --> 01:05:24.640
reflects your character because you're, you're, you carry his, um, his character as well. Um,

913
01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:28.720
that, and why did I want to mention that? We're going to talk a lot more about that

914
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:33.920
in the next session of the session. After let me look, it's the next session. That's

915
01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:38.640
when we're going to be talking about that. The reason I wanted to touch on it now is to realize

916
01:05:38.640 --> 01:05:43.840
that is who you are. One of the things you are, you're a king creation needs you,

917
01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:51.200
your soul and your body are waiting for you. You're not waiting for God. God already said,

918
01:05:51.200 --> 01:05:54.800
Hey, look, I gave you all this. You have access to all this. You just don't,

919
01:05:54.800 --> 01:06:02.480
aren't believing me when I tell you that. So your non-belief is not allowing you to access it

920
01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:10.000
and, and to relieve your body and your soul from frustration. So you need to believe me. You need

921
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:13.680
to believe that I am who I say that I am, that I've given you what I say that I've given you,

922
01:06:13.680 --> 01:06:18.000
that you are who I say that you are, but to believe that you have access to them,

923
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:26.480
then I'll show you how to use them. Um, and, uh, yeah, so, and that's important because

924
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:34.640
can you imagine that if you believe that you are, that you were good and you believe that you,

925
01:06:34.640 --> 01:06:41.520
that your creation, and by that, I just mean the kingdom around you, uh, that, that has been given

926
01:06:41.520 --> 01:06:50.080
to you, your home, the land that you're on your, your, uh, your spouse, your children, um, your,

927
01:06:50.080 --> 01:06:55.200
even your extended family, your business, um, your, or your job, if you don't own your own

928
01:06:55.200 --> 01:07:07.120
business, you know, whatever, uh, how even how your, um, your, uh, the, like the laws of physics

929
01:07:07.120 --> 01:07:11.360
that you interact with the laws of economics that you interact with, like, say for instance,

930
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:19.520
the refinancing of your house, you know, the, anything that comes within your kingdom,

931
01:07:19.520 --> 01:07:24.400
including laws that we can't see, like the laws of physics and laws of economics and the laws of

932
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:28.480
whatever, you know, all of those things, including physical things like your children or your soul

933
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:33.840
and your spirit, your spouse, or your land that you live on or whatever, all of those things are

934
01:07:33.840 --> 01:07:41.520
within your kingdom. You have, they are looking to you for instruction on how to act. They're

935
01:07:41.520 --> 01:07:46.880
there to serve you. I don't mean that your children are there to serve you. I'm just trying

936
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:53.120
to draw a blanket statement about like creation. It is there. It's looking for sons of God to

937
01:07:53.120 --> 01:07:59.280
respond to really including your children, including your spouse, the aspects of themselves,

938
01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:03.520
you know, their soul and their body. They're looking to the sons of God in general,

939
01:08:03.520 --> 01:08:07.280
its own son of God. You know, if it's a spirit and if it's a soul and a body, it's looking to

940
01:08:07.280 --> 01:08:12.960
its own son of God, which is its own spirit. It has the first hierarchy over it. First right to

941
01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:19.439
it, et cetera. But all of our spirits are one and all of our spirits are one with God. So really

942
01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:24.720
all of creation, you're, you're including your, uh, your soul and your body, your spouse,

943
01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:28.160
your soul and body, your soul and body of your children, your soul and body at soul and body

944
01:08:28.160 --> 01:08:34.880
of like, I don't know people around you, you know, they are even people who aren't your family.

945
01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:40.720
Maybe they're just friends. All of creation is crying out for the sons of God to reveal themselves

946
01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:45.439
in meaning like for the sons of God to reveal who it is that they are, which is Christ.

947
01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:54.080
They're all looking for Christ. So give them Christ so that they can transform, give them

948
01:08:54.080 --> 01:08:58.560
Christ so that they can finally breathe, give them Christ so that they're no longer afraid,

949
01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:06.960
give them Christ so that they're finally free. That is who you are, that you're that powerful.

950
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:13.760
You make that much of a difference. Your presence is that important. You knowing who you are

951
01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:23.120
makes that much of an impact and it will change the type of an effect, the type of, of interest

952
01:09:23.120 --> 01:09:30.000
rate. Sometimes that you were given, I say, uh, you know, in, um, when you try to refinance your

953
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:35.359
house or whatever, it will change how your children react and respond to you. It will

954
01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:41.279
change how the projects respond to you or the other people, you know, the other, the rest of

955
01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:46.800
the team that you're part of on that project will respond to you. It will change. And I think I

956
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:52.160
mentioned this, it will change how the project itself responds to you. And I, and the way that

957
01:09:52.160 --> 01:09:57.040
I learned all of this was actually seeing it because I just exposed my, I just, um,

958
01:09:57.040 --> 01:09:59.840
presented myself to the Lord like, okay, Lord, I'm your.

959
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.960
words, do whatever you want. I'm always bringing you and your kingdom and your will into this

960
01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:08.560
situation, even though I'm working with all of these Hindus and I'm working with all of

961
01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:12.720
these non-believers, Lord, I'm bringing you into these situations. And it wasn't just

962
01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:16.160
that one project that I was talking about with the Hindus. It was like, there was all

963
01:10:16.160 --> 01:10:19.320
of these other people as well. I mean, all these other projects as well with different

964
01:10:19.320 --> 01:10:24.320
companies, but that was just the first one I thought of, Lord, I'm bringing you in. Just

965
01:10:24.320 --> 01:10:31.360
do what it is that you want to do. And then God started doing the impossible. Why? Because

966
01:10:31.360 --> 01:10:38.240
I just simply brought him in. I simply revealed him. I didn't even talk about him. None of

967
01:10:38.240 --> 01:10:45.320
those people were open and asked me questions about God. I didn't talk about it. I just,

968
01:10:45.320 --> 01:10:50.880
I just chose for myself that that was that, that God was the higher power. And I chose

969
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:56.160
to bring him into this situation because I decided that this, that, that God was going

970
01:10:56.160 --> 01:11:01.040
to have the final say. And God's like, okay, because I am a higher power than all these

971
01:11:01.040 --> 01:11:06.960
other ones. And you tell me you have, you have the authority in your kingdom to open

972
01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:12.320
the gate and let me be the one to come in. Then I'll come in. You have the authority

973
01:11:12.320 --> 01:11:17.560
to choose whether or not you open the gate to God, for God to come in and affect your

974
01:11:17.560 --> 01:11:23.000
kingdom or you keep the gate closed and God doesn't get to come in. So you open the gate.

975
01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:27.320
It leaves you vulnerable to whatever it is that he's going to do, however it is that

976
01:11:27.320 --> 01:11:31.920
it might affect you in it. And you no longer have control because you've given it over

977
01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:37.760
to God and to his kingdom so that his principles and his will are the ones that have, that

978
01:11:37.760 --> 01:11:46.200
have the impact and the effect. But again, that is who you are. You have that much of

979
01:11:46.200 --> 01:11:54.400
an impact. You, creation and your life are in your own soul and your own body and your

980
01:11:54.400 --> 01:12:02.480
own fears are needing you to know who you are. Um, to close, I'm going to mention, uh,

981
01:12:02.480 --> 01:12:08.560
we're going to go to Romans eight. Y'all have heard me talk about this a lot. Go to Romans

982
01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:19.200
eight and okay. Looking at trying to see if I want to mention anything else before

983
01:12:19.200 --> 01:12:35.440
I do this. Okay. So, uh, let's just look at Romans eight 17. Now if we are children, then

984
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:39.840
we are heirs, heirs to God and co-heirs with Christ. If indeed we share in his sufferings

985
01:12:39.840 --> 01:12:44.480
and order, we may also share in his glory. So we have his glory and we're going to discover

986
01:12:44.480 --> 01:12:49.440
that, um, further down because it's going to mention it again. I consider that our present

987
01:12:49.440 --> 01:12:54.480
sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us, not will

988
01:12:54.480 --> 01:13:00.960
be revealed when we die. No, no, no. That we've got to, we've got to understand he's

989
01:13:00.960 --> 01:13:08.720
talking is going to be revealed on earth. Meaning that as we operate in Christ, as we

990
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:14.240
bring him into situations, as we, as we bring him into interaction with other aspects of creation,

991
01:13:15.280 --> 01:13:20.640
his, the glory of Christ, who is actually now alive within us, that's going to be revealed.

992
01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:26.960
It's going to come out. It's going to be seen the creation weights in eager expectation for

993
01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:32.480
the sons of God to be revealed for the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own

994
01:13:32.480 --> 01:13:37.600
choice. In other words, not by its own will, but by the will of the one who subjected it

995
01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:43.920
in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought

996
01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:51.600
into the glorious, glorious freedom of the children of God. So it's not the freedom of

997
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:57.680
Christ. Yes, it is the freedom of Christ, but he doesn't even mention Christ. He says it's the

998
01:13:57.680 --> 01:14:04.640
freedom of the children of God. Why is it our freedom? Because Christ is within us and it's

999
01:14:04.640 --> 01:14:09.920
Christ's freedom. Why do I want to point that out? I want to point that out because we have to

1000
01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:18.400
remember that because what this whole session about who does God say we are, we keep stopping

1001
01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:22.400
talking about ourselves and just talking about Christ. Well, Christ is good and Christ is this, and that is

1002
01:14:22.400 --> 01:14:26.960
true. And that's fine. If we talk about that, as long as we do the same thing that God does, he

1003
01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:32.640
talks about Christ and therefore who that makes you. And so if we only talk about Christ, the

1004
01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:38.480
problem is we keep villainizing ourselves and we're thinking, yeah, but that's not me. It's Christ

1005
01:14:38.480 --> 01:14:44.880
because it's not me. It's only Christ. It's not me. He's a saint. I'm a sinner. I'm just bad.

1006
01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:51.440
So, and we keep thinking that that's humility. No, that's not honesty. That's not being it. Now,

1007
01:14:51.440 --> 01:14:56.960
we're not, we don't have our own freedom outside of Christ. That freedom that we have

1008
01:14:58.080 --> 01:14:59.840
is Christ. It's Christ's freedom.

1009
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:06.220
But we also have to own it. We have it now to give

1010
01:15:07.940 --> 01:15:10.980
We have it we like what we talked about earlier about abuse

1011
01:15:11.620 --> 01:15:15.980
You can't give it unless you're connected to Christ and you're giving it

1012
01:15:16.740 --> 01:15:24.600
Christ's freedom from Christ's will that you give it if it's not Christ's will that you give it you can't give it

1013
01:15:25.320 --> 01:15:32.120
Because then you and he are not acting like one and therefore if you're not acting like one who always has the preeminent him

1014
01:15:32.440 --> 01:15:39.000
So you can't operate outside of him and give away something that God's doesn't give you permission to give away

1015
01:15:39.040 --> 01:15:45.760
You know, you have to be giving away something else. That's not of him, right? So we don't have to worry about that. So

1016
01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:48.320
That for verse 22

1017
01:15:48.320 --> 01:15:53.240
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time

1018
01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:57.700
Not only so but we ourselves who have the firstfruits of the Spirit

1019
01:15:58.120 --> 01:16:01.840
So it's talking about our own soul in our own body

1020
01:16:01.840 --> 01:16:06.440
Not only so but we ourselves who have the firstfruits of the Spirit grown

1021
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:14.720
inwardly why because the soul and spirit is our other also aspects of creation and he just said that creation is groaning inwardly and he

1022
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:19.040
Said also to we ourselves are groaning inwardly as we wait eagerly

1023
01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:23.520
For our adoption as sons adoption of sons, by the way

1024
01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:26.160
is

1025
01:16:26.160 --> 01:16:28.160
there's a

1026
01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:34.480
There's another way to describe the adoption of sons, which is really really fascinating

1027
01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:41.440
but I don't remember all of the particulars of it right now, but it basically means that

1028
01:16:42.080 --> 01:16:44.400
You already are the thing

1029
01:16:45.320 --> 01:16:47.200
Not that you

1030
01:16:47.200 --> 01:16:48.560
weren't

1031
01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:50.600
Didn't have the DNA

1032
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:57.160
That the Greek word adopt didn't mean that you didn't have the DNA and you're outside the family and you're like, okay

1033
01:16:57.160 --> 01:17:01.600
Well, even though you care somebody's DNA. I'll let you come in and you know, I'll adopt you. You'll be my family

1034
01:17:01.600 --> 01:17:07.360
They said that adoption meant that the word that was just translated as the dog actually means something different

1035
01:17:07.360 --> 01:17:13.640
It means that you already started out with the same DNA and I don't remember if adoption meant something

1036
01:17:14.160 --> 01:17:17.520
akin to maturing I don't remember but whatever it was that our

1037
01:17:18.120 --> 01:17:20.880
Understanding of adoption and the word that the Greek

1038
01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:27.200
Trans that they translated from Greek into English into adoption. They're actually two different meanings

1039
01:17:27.360 --> 01:17:29.000
so and but anyway

1040
01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:32.120
so I always think of adoption kind of like so in the interim I

1041
01:17:32.320 --> 01:17:35.920
Suggest that you think of adoption kind of like it's it's the our

1042
01:17:36.720 --> 01:17:38.720
You know, maybe our soul and our body

1043
01:17:39.280 --> 01:17:41.280
the fact that they are

1044
01:17:41.960 --> 01:17:43.960
learning how to

1045
01:17:44.240 --> 01:17:49.080
Learning how to believe God and come into alignment come into agreement that kind of thing

1046
01:17:49.080 --> 01:17:52.680
And so the redemption of our bodies for in this we were say

1047
01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:57.960
wait grown inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption ascends the redemption of our bodies and

1048
01:17:58.600 --> 01:18:02.520
And that's what we're waiting for. We're waiting for the redemption of our bodies. Oh my word

1049
01:18:03.640 --> 01:18:08.840
So there is a a unique bug that is falling around on my camera. I

1050
01:18:09.400 --> 01:18:11.400
Can't figure out what that bug is. So interesting

1051
01:18:11.560 --> 01:18:13.560
And for in this hope we were saved

1052
01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:21.400
And I think there's anything else, okay

1053
01:18:27.080 --> 01:18:33.160
I think that's it. Um, so I I just wanted to point out again that

1054
01:18:34.440 --> 01:18:36.200
we

1055
01:18:36.200 --> 01:18:37.480
that

1056
01:18:37.880 --> 01:18:39.560
We

1057
01:18:39.560 --> 01:18:42.120
that about who it is, especially

1058
01:18:43.540 --> 01:18:48.840
Highlighting there in being highlighted there in romans 8 who it is that we are

1059
01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:51.080
we have

1060
01:18:51.080 --> 01:18:52.920
We're kings

1061
01:18:52.920 --> 01:18:54.520
We are sons

1062
01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:56.360
We're new creation

1063
01:18:56.360 --> 01:18:58.920
We're perfect. We carry his dna

1064
01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:01.560
We don't sin

1065
01:19:01.720 --> 01:19:07.800
We have we're like I said the seed of us the seed of us is good

1066
01:19:09.320 --> 01:19:15.100
Whoops, let me mention this real quick. I just really quickly so that you know that that's actually from scripture

1067
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:17.880
the

1068
01:19:19.320 --> 01:19:21.320
See the about the seed

1069
01:19:25.480 --> 01:19:27.480
Where did it go

1070
01:19:28.440 --> 01:19:31.400
Ah, here we go

1071
01:19:34.440 --> 01:19:35.880
Okay

1072
01:19:35.880 --> 01:19:37.560
um

1073
01:19:37.560 --> 01:19:38.600
Okay

1074
01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:41.080
So looking at y'all have probably heard me

1075
01:19:42.280 --> 01:19:47.640
Quote this passage before in the rest intensive looking at galatians 2

1076
01:19:50.040 --> 01:19:56.680
Uh 16 the sorry 3 galatians 3 16 the promises were spoken to abraham and to his seed

1077
01:19:57.480 --> 01:20:00.060
The scripture does not say that's a quote from scripture

1078
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:05.000
meaning like Paul is quoting a scripture elsewhere.

1079
01:20:06.720 --> 01:20:08.000
I don't remember which one.

1080
01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:08.840
What does it say?

1081
01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:11.320
L Luke 115, I think.

1082
01:20:11.320 --> 01:20:12.520
Yeah, Luke 115.

1083
01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:17.520
So he's quoting Luke 155, 155.

1084
01:20:21.240 --> 01:20:25.500
Continuing, the scripture does not say and to seeds,

1085
01:20:25.500 --> 01:20:29.940
meaning many people, but and to your seed,

1086
01:20:29.940 --> 01:20:32.580
meaning one person who is Christ.

1087
01:20:32.580 --> 01:20:35.100
Then if you look in Galatians,

1088
01:20:35.100 --> 01:20:39.380
later on in that same chapter, Galatians 3, 29,

1089
01:20:39.380 --> 01:20:43.540
if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed.

1090
01:20:43.540 --> 01:20:46.140
So it just said back there in verse 16,

1091
01:20:49.820 --> 01:20:51.940
that the seed is Christ,

1092
01:20:51.940 --> 01:20:54.460
that it's one seed, it's not two,

1093
01:20:54.460 --> 01:20:56.940
it's one seed and it's Christ.

1094
01:20:56.940 --> 01:21:01.580
And then it mentions in verse 25, sorry, 29,

1095
01:21:03.820 --> 01:21:05.520
if you belong to Christ,

1096
01:21:05.520 --> 01:21:09.260
then you too are Abraham's seed.

1097
01:21:09.260 --> 01:21:12.300
So that's when I was referencing seed there.

1098
01:21:12.300 --> 01:21:14.860
Remember seed comes out of a man,

1099
01:21:14.860 --> 01:21:16.260
seed comes out of himself

1100
01:21:16.260 --> 01:21:19.340
and it actually carries his DNA to create a son, right?

1101
01:21:19.340 --> 01:21:24.340
You are at the root of you, your seed, your DNA.

1102
01:21:25.340 --> 01:21:30.340
That is Christ, that is God, the father's,

1103
01:21:30.740 --> 01:21:34.940
but the very seed of you, the very thing,

1104
01:21:34.940 --> 01:21:39.940
your DNA that is carrying your very source of,

1105
01:21:43.500 --> 01:21:48.500
an origination point of your existence is good

1106
01:21:49.260 --> 01:21:52.980
because it's God and it's Christ, Christ is God.

1107
01:21:52.980 --> 01:21:54.780
But what I mean is God, the father,

1108
01:21:54.780 --> 01:21:57.580
who's your birth father and Christ.

1109
01:21:57.580 --> 01:21:59.940
You share that it says that we share the same seed

1110
01:21:59.940 --> 01:22:01.940
with Christ who we've been unified with him,

1111
01:22:01.940 --> 01:22:04.220
but also we both carry God's DNA.

1112
01:22:04.220 --> 01:22:06.640
He's the now Christ's firstborn son, et cetera.

1113
01:22:08.340 --> 01:22:13.340
So I just encourage you, I know that I've given you,

1114
01:22:13.420 --> 01:22:16.140
I've talked a lot and my whole point though

1115
01:22:16.140 --> 01:22:21.140
is to just really truly give you kind of dispel

1116
01:22:23.060 --> 01:22:26.380
any questions that you might have that,

1117
01:22:26.380 --> 01:22:29.860
well, that all sounds good, but what if it's not true?

1118
01:22:29.860 --> 01:22:31.140
I gave you scripture verses,

1119
01:22:31.140 --> 01:22:32.940
I could have given you more scripture verses,

1120
01:22:32.940 --> 01:22:35.060
but because there's many more than that,

1121
01:22:35.060 --> 01:22:38.700
that affirm all of this, but giving you scripture verses,

1122
01:22:38.700 --> 01:22:40.940
I've shown how different aspects of scripture

1123
01:22:40.940 --> 01:22:43.820
and different points that scripture make all tie together,

1124
01:22:43.820 --> 01:22:47.740
all confirm the fact that you are a new creation,

1125
01:22:47.740 --> 01:22:50.260
that you are a son, that you have authority,

1126
01:22:50.260 --> 01:22:55.260
that you have power and remember that you're a saint,

1127
01:22:56.620 --> 01:22:58.740
it's not a sinner, you don't sin anymore,

1128
01:22:58.740 --> 01:23:01.820
your spirit does not, there's nothing to be afraid of,

1129
01:23:01.820 --> 01:23:03.340
that you're no longer the old man,

1130
01:23:03.340 --> 01:23:05.420
so therefore why act like the old man?

1131
01:23:05.420 --> 01:23:07.500
You don't have to worry about that anymore,

1132
01:23:07.500 --> 01:23:09.140
he's not something you need to be afraid of

1133
01:23:09.140 --> 01:23:10.300
that you're gonna act like, why?

1134
01:23:10.300 --> 01:23:12.300
Because that's not who you are anymore.

1135
01:23:12.300 --> 01:23:14.500
So just act out of who it is that you are.

1136
01:23:15.660 --> 01:23:17.740
And so I know that my point is,

1137
01:23:17.740 --> 01:23:18.860
I know that I've talked a lot,

1138
01:23:18.860 --> 01:23:21.140
meaning like I was just trying to build a case,

1139
01:23:21.140 --> 01:23:26.140
but remember what it is that I have said is very simple,

1140
01:23:28.380 --> 01:23:32.860
you at the root of you were created,

1141
01:23:32.860 --> 01:23:37.140
were thought of, designed and intended by God

1142
01:23:37.140 --> 01:23:40.580
before he ever created the world.

1143
01:23:40.580 --> 01:23:45.300
Remember Ephesians 1.4 and Jeremiah 1.5,

1144
01:23:46.300 --> 01:23:51.300
that he knew you, you were an entity for him to know

1145
01:23:51.780 --> 01:23:54.500
and for to see in himself and to choose

1146
01:23:54.500 --> 01:23:56.620
before there ever was a creation.

1147
01:23:58.100 --> 01:24:02.500
And then before you were ever put into creation,

1148
01:24:02.500 --> 01:24:07.500
you have that deep of a meaningful existence

1149
01:24:09.460 --> 01:24:13.140
outside of creation, outside of what happens.

1150
01:24:14.140 --> 01:24:19.140
And that the very seed of who it is that you are

1151
01:24:19.820 --> 01:24:24.820
is who he is, as he is, so are you.

1152
01:24:25.580 --> 01:24:29.620
Therefore, whatever he is, that's what you are

1153
01:24:29.620 --> 01:24:31.460
and he's good.

1154
01:24:31.460 --> 01:24:34.060
And if you're not, and if he's not something,

1155
01:24:34.060 --> 01:24:36.540
it means that you aren't that thing either.

1156
01:24:36.540 --> 01:24:41.540
If he's not evil, if he is not hateful,

1157
01:24:42.380 --> 01:24:44.580
then you aren't either.

1158
01:24:44.580 --> 01:24:46.700
If he's wise, so are you.

1159
01:24:48.300 --> 01:24:51.300
If he's not deceptive, you aren't either.

1160
01:24:51.300 --> 01:24:55.260
If he's not selfish, you aren't either.

1161
01:24:56.420 --> 01:25:00.060
So these things that I'm explaining are very,

1162
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:02.960
They're very simple, but we have to choose that.

1163
01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:05.800
It, we really are those things to the degree.

1164
01:25:05.800 --> 01:25:08.200
He says that we, that we are those things.

1165
01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:11.640
It's what's the phrase for that?

1166
01:25:11.640 --> 01:25:12.680
Or what's the word for that?

1167
01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:15.360
It's, it's all encompassing.

1168
01:25:15.400 --> 01:25:17.080
It's non-conditional.

1169
01:25:17.400 --> 01:25:18.680
It's unconditional.

1170
01:25:19.240 --> 01:25:22.360
It's not like, okay, well, yeah, we're, we are that, you know, that's

1171
01:25:22.360 --> 01:25:23.600
so great and that's true.

1172
01:25:23.800 --> 01:25:24.120
Oh yeah.

1173
01:25:24.120 --> 01:25:24.920
That's exciting.

1174
01:25:25.160 --> 01:25:27.040
So we're that this degree God's like, no.

1175
01:25:28.040 --> 01:25:30.640
It, no, that's the only thing you are.

1176
01:25:31.400 --> 01:25:32.600
No exceptions.

1177
01:25:32.760 --> 01:25:34.920
You're not anything in addition to that.

1178
01:25:35.520 --> 01:25:38.320
And, and, and you're not anything bad.

1179
01:25:39.080 --> 01:25:43.800
It's not like, well, we need to counter that understanding with also

1180
01:25:43.800 --> 01:25:46.640
remembering all of these other things about ourselves that we need to watch out for.

1181
01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:48.840
No, they don't exist.

1182
01:25:49.120 --> 01:25:51.280
All those other bad things don't even exist.

1183
01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:58.920
So if you read, so remember the, this is not our practice for this week.

1184
01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:02.480
I'll be doing a separate video for that later on.

1185
01:26:02.760 --> 01:26:11.960
But remember what, take the practice that we did for last week and approach it.

1186
01:26:12.240 --> 01:26:16.920
And I recommend trying, doing it again, but with this in mind of sitting with,

1187
01:26:16.920 --> 01:26:20.840
so you remember that you set with God, allowing him to be who it is that he was.

1188
01:26:21.320 --> 01:26:23.800
Remember, and just allowing yourself to experience what he

1189
01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:26.160
chose to reveal of himself to you.

1190
01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:30.280
What about doing that now for you?

1191
01:26:30.560 --> 01:26:34.840
Meaning like you sit, you can do, you can, I recommend

1192
01:26:34.840 --> 01:26:36.160
actually doing a couple of things.

1193
01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:40.200
One, I recommend sitting with yourself.

1194
01:26:41.280 --> 01:26:44.680
You can do these in whichever order that it seems to make most sense to you.

1195
01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:46.000
Do the easiest one.

1196
01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:52.600
Sit with yourself, allowing yourself to be everything that he says that you are.

1197
01:26:53.520 --> 01:26:54.280
You're that good.

1198
01:26:55.440 --> 01:26:59.040
And you don't have to, you're not something that you have to be afraid of that you

1199
01:26:59.040 --> 01:27:02.680
have to protect yourself or other people against you're not a potential for

1200
01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:05.400
horrible destruction, you're not evil.

1201
01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:10.160
You're not selfish, you know, all of those things that you're not

1202
01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:14.520
choose for yourself that you're not make this very, very intentional.

1203
01:27:14.520 --> 01:27:17.400
Remember, that's what this whole thing is about.

1204
01:27:18.120 --> 01:27:22.360
You just God say that I am make that an intention every day.

1205
01:27:23.280 --> 01:27:25.280
Not kind of like, Oh, I hope I remember this.

1206
01:27:25.280 --> 01:27:26.000
That won't work.

1207
01:27:26.680 --> 01:27:29.160
Make a very willful, intentional decision.

1208
01:27:29.160 --> 01:27:31.320
That's the only way that you'll get breakthrough is the only way

1209
01:27:31.320 --> 01:27:32.640
these things are going to work.

1210
01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:35.880
I know I only said five minutes, make them power.

1211
01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:38.520
It's because those five minutes have to be powerful.

1212
01:27:39.360 --> 01:27:44.560
They have to make, be very intentional, willful changes in decisions

1213
01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:46.400
that you make inside of you.

1214
01:27:46.760 --> 01:27:48.560
And then in the evening, you reflect on that.

1215
01:27:49.120 --> 01:27:53.160
You reflect on how you saw yourself as that today.

1216
01:27:54.160 --> 01:27:55.520
How did, how did you show up that?

1217
01:27:55.560 --> 01:27:56.880
How did you show up today?

1218
01:27:57.240 --> 01:27:58.760
Only remember what we talked about.

1219
01:27:58.760 --> 01:28:00.240
Only look for the positive things though.

1220
01:28:00.240 --> 01:28:01.360
Don't look for anything negative.

1221
01:28:01.360 --> 01:28:05.960
Only look for the positive, only the things that, that affirm that you are

1222
01:28:06.280 --> 01:28:14.200
not anything that, that you could, that proves or refutes that you are that thing.

1223
01:28:14.280 --> 01:28:14.680
No, no, no.

1224
01:28:15.400 --> 01:28:20.080
You're looking for affirmations that what God says is actually true.

1225
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:25.760
And you're not giving voice to, or attention to anything that, that might not be it.

1226
01:28:26.480 --> 01:28:28.240
Or, I mean, that could not be it.

1227
01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:35.240
That could give you the impression or the fear or the temptation to

1228
01:28:35.240 --> 01:28:38.480
believe that what God says isn't true.

1229
01:28:39.160 --> 01:28:41.280
Um, and so do that.

1230
01:28:41.280 --> 01:28:43.080
And then I recommend sitting with God.

1231
01:28:43.120 --> 01:28:45.640
Again, you can do this in whichever order that you think you should

1232
01:28:45.640 --> 01:28:46.600
use it with yourself first.

1233
01:28:46.600 --> 01:28:51.240
You can use it with God first, whichever it is, but not only do, but you need,

1234
01:28:51.240 --> 01:28:54.280
in fact, it's probably best if you do it with yourself first, and here's why.

1235
01:28:54.400 --> 01:28:56.240
You have to make the decision for you.

1236
01:28:56.240 --> 01:28:59.880
You have to understand you're not living vicariously through God's will that you

1237
01:28:59.880 --> 01:29:02.760
are that thing and that you're going to get to benefit from it simply

1238
01:29:02.760 --> 01:29:04.040
because God says it's true.

1239
01:29:04.640 --> 01:29:07.200
Remember, why are you not experiencing your life?

1240
01:29:07.240 --> 01:29:09.240
Because you're not choosing to open that gate.

1241
01:29:09.480 --> 01:29:10.960
You're the one who has to open the gate.

1242
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:12.480
God's not going to break down the gate.

1243
01:29:12.480 --> 01:29:16.360
He's not going to force it on you and a lot and enforce that experience on you.

1244
01:29:17.280 --> 01:29:20.840
No, you get to choose what you get to experience of God.

1245
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:25.360
And simply based off of how much and what you believe, what you believe

1246
01:29:25.360 --> 01:29:27.440
into what degree that you believe that it's actually true.

1247
01:29:27.440 --> 01:29:29.680
Do you believe it's true a little bit, or do you believe, no,

1248
01:29:30.080 --> 01:29:31.440
I believe it's unconditional.

1249
01:29:32.120 --> 01:29:34.480
So I recommend sitting by yourself first.

1250
01:29:34.680 --> 01:29:37.640
You need to do it a different way because you need to win the other way.

1251
01:29:37.640 --> 01:29:38.840
Then that's perfectly fine.

1252
01:29:39.200 --> 01:29:42.760
But, uh, sit with yourself and make your own choice.

1253
01:29:42.800 --> 01:29:45.200
Willful decision that this is who it is that you are.

1254
01:29:45.280 --> 01:29:47.520
Choose to receive yourself as that.

1255
01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:49.600
And to redefine yourself.

1256
01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:51.800
And I re I, here's the more important part.

1257
01:29:52.440 --> 01:29:54.320
Re-identify yourself as that.

1258
01:29:54.360 --> 01:29:58.640
Remember Adam named the animals and naming them is identifying them.

1259
01:29:59.080 --> 01:30:00.080
Name yourself.

1260
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:04.000
In other words, identify yourself as that.

1261
01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:06.000
Why? Where did you get that idea?

1262
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:08.000
God said so.

1263
01:30:08.000 --> 01:30:10.000
That's how Adam was able to...

1264
01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:12.000
When Adam named the animals,

1265
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:14.000
Adam didn't create the animals.

1266
01:30:14.000 --> 01:30:17.000
God created the animals. Adam identified them.

1267
01:30:17.000 --> 01:30:19.000
So, you're doing the same thing.

1268
01:30:19.000 --> 01:30:21.000
God created you a specific way,

1269
01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:25.000
just like Adam called out their identity

1270
01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:30.000
by stating it, stating what God had already created.

1271
01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:32.000
You're doing the same thing.

1272
01:30:32.000 --> 01:30:34.000
You are taking up an aspect of the authority

1273
01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:36.000
that has yet allowed the thing

1274
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.000
to be what God created it to be.

1275
01:30:38.000 --> 01:30:40.000
You are now stepping in,

1276
01:30:40.000 --> 01:30:42.000
and you are now identifying it,

1277
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:44.000
so it can actually act like that.

1278
01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:47.000
You are calling yourself forth.

1279
01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:48.000
We do that with all kinds of things.

1280
01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:49.000
We do that with businesses.

1281
01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:51.000
We do that with our children.

1282
01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:53.000
By naming them, we are calling something out

1283
01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:54.000
by what we declare of them,

1284
01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:56.000
by what we affirm about them.

1285
01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:57.000
We're calling them out.

1286
01:30:57.000 --> 01:30:58.000
We're identifying them.

1287
01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:00.000
That is an authority and a power that you have,

1288
01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:02.000
and you will start acting like it.

1289
01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:03.000
Why?

1290
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:05.000
You will start acting like the thing that God says that you are

1291
01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:08.000
if you identify yourself as that thing.

1292
01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:09.000
You say, no, in my power,

1293
01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:11.000
with the power vested in me,

1294
01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:14.000
I identify myself as da-da-da-da-da-da-da

1295
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:16.000
that God says that I am.

1296
01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:18.000
I am his son.

1297
01:31:18.000 --> 01:31:19.000
I carry his DNA.

1298
01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:21.000
I am a new creation.

1299
01:31:21.000 --> 01:31:22.000
I am perfect.

1300
01:31:22.000 --> 01:31:23.000
I am one with him.

1301
01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:27.000
I am a king that has been given authority and power and dominion

1302
01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:31.000
over my realm of creation.

1303
01:31:31.000 --> 01:31:34.000
So you do that, and then you sit with God,

1304
01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:36.000
and you do the same thing.

1305
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:38.000
In other words, you choose that you are that thing,

1306
01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:41.000
and then go sit in God's presence as that thing and see how he

1307
01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:43.000
receives you, see how he interacts with you,

1308
01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:45.000
see how he responds to you.

1309
01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:51.000
I recommend doing this every day until we get to, in fact,

1310
01:31:51.000 --> 01:31:53.000
I don't know, that might be our practice.

1311
01:31:53.000 --> 01:31:55.000
Yeah, that's going to be our practice this week.

1312
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:57.000
Forget the other thing that I had planned.

1313
01:31:57.000 --> 01:31:59.000
This is better.

1314
01:31:59.000 --> 01:32:05.000
B do those two things and then write down some bullet points of what

1315
01:32:05.000 --> 01:32:10.000
your experience was on the, my practice sheet.

1316
01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:13.000
If you have any questions, let me know and just reach out to me.

1317
01:32:13.000 --> 01:32:14.000
And yeah.

1318
01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:15.000
So anyway,

1319
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:18.000
I really enjoyed this getting to express to you and share with you

1320
01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:20.000
the importance of all of this.

1321
01:32:20.000 --> 01:32:22.000
Truly it is groundbreaking.

1322
01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:26.000
If you're not experiencing a groundbreaking shift by hearing this and by

1323
01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:30.000
implementing this, like within like.

1324
01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:34.000
At least 24 hours, then there's, then we need to work on something.

1325
01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:36.000
So let me know, because again,

1326
01:32:36.000 --> 01:32:39.000
the whole point of this is for you to the whole point of this program

1327
01:32:39.000 --> 01:32:40.000
is for you to live it.

1328
01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:43.000
It's not for you to gain a greater understanding and in wishful thinking,

1329
01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:45.000
hope that something changes. No dadgummit.

1330
01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:47.000
It's going to happen.

1331
01:32:47.000 --> 01:32:48.000
Okay.

1332
01:32:48.000 --> 01:32:49.000
All right.

1333
01:32:49.000 --> 01:32:51.000
Love you both. And I will talk to you later.
