WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.560 And welcome to tonight's Prosper Leader member call. 2 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:16.520 We do these twice a month and it's a powerful combination, my voice tonight, a powerful 3 00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:23.560 combination of some one-on-one time, breakout time, which we just did, some teaching where 4 00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:28.280 I just share some concepts for you to dive deeper, that's what this portion is. 5 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:36.440 And then we turn the camera off and we just go real and raw and mastermind and hot seat 6 00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:41.040 and work together back as a group. 7 00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:45.960 So what I want to talk about today, well, actually what I want to do is pray first, 8 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:54.920 and then I want to share three key thoughts for where we are right now in marketing, in 9 00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:03.120 business, in the world, and how we as leaders, especially as Prosper Leaders, how we need 10 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.960 to be positioning ourselves in this season. 11 00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:15.840 So that, you know, scripture talks about understanding the seasons, and this is so important. 12 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.480 I think one of the biggest mistakes people make and entrepreneurs make is they keep doing 13 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.880 something because at one time it worked. 14 00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:34.720 And so it became kind of the group collective teaching, and it gets repeated, I really noticed 15 00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:39.600 this in the coaching space, and it gets taught again, taught again, and it becomes the way 16 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:48.160 and everybody does it, and yet somewhere in that cycle, halfway, three quarters into it, 17 00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:50.480 it's no longer working. 18 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.160 This is what I'm seeing in the industry. 19 00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:58.120 It's no longer working, and yet it keeps on being taught and we keep on doing it, we keep 20 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:04.040 on doing it, we keep on doing it, and there's a certain defeatedness in there. 21 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:09.440 There's a frustration in there, and it's simply because we're not following that biblical 22 00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:14.080 mandate of understanding the season. 23 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:21.080 And perhaps we're not taking enough time to be led by the Spirit of God. 24 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.800 So you know, there's a lot of talk about AI and all this incredible volume of wisdom, 25 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:33.320 but I'm going to tell you, there's no wisdom greater than the wisdom from the Most High. 26 00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:43.960 And there's no substitution for downloads of living water, of living rhema revelation. 27 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.640 There's no substitute for that. 28 00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:53.040 And there is spirit in there, there's the letter of the law, so AI can regurgitate lots 29 00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:55.080 of facts. 30 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.320 It has no feeling and it has no spirit. 31 00:02:59.320 --> 00:03:05.520 And it's only getting from the Spirit of God and allowing the Spirit of God to live through 32 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:11.960 us and heal through us and coach through us and love through us, that's something that 33 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.040 only humans can do, AI can't do. 34 00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:20.320 And the revelation knowledge, because one of the roles of the Holy Spirit that scripture 35 00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:27.840 says is that he will show us things to come, that he will guide us into all truth. 36 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.600 That's one of the roles of the Holy Spirit. 37 00:03:29.600 --> 00:03:36.400 If you look at the roles of the Holy Spirit as helper, counselor, advocate, teacher, all 38 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.720 of those roles of the Spirit of God that lives in you, because you're the temple of the Holy 39 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:51.240 Spirit, if we're not tapping into that, you're not tapping into the greatest wisdom and power 40 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:56.920 and love and beauty and knowledge and understanding. 41 00:03:56.920 --> 00:03:59.240 So we've got to start there. 42 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.640 Scripture says that those that are led by the Spirit are the sons and daughters of God. 43 00:04:03.640 --> 00:04:04.640 Okay. 44 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:07.840 So I'm going to start with prayer and then I'm going to talk about how to incorporate 45 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.840 that in what you're doing so that we're like the sons of Issachar. 46 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:18.320 The sons of Issachar in the Bible, it says they understood the times and they knew what 47 00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:20.480 to do. 48 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:27.040 There needs to be sons of Issachar in this season because the world is completely changing. 49 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.800 Never has there been a greater amount of change at such a rapid speed. 50 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:37.120 There's been change throughout history, but there was always more time to digest it. 51 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:42.800 The Industrial Revolution or the Agricultural Revolution or the Information Age Revolution, 52 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.160 there was time to adjust. 53 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.480 This is moving so fast. 54 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:56.200 And so I'm feeling so strong in my spirit that there needs to be sons of Issachar for 55 00:04:56.200 --> 00:04:59.760 this season, daughters of Issachar for this season. 56 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.000 that they understand the times and they know what to do 57 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.800 because they're led, because within them 58 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.400 as a temple of the Holy Spirit, 59 00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:15.320 having the mind of Christ is infinite wisdom, 60 00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:19.280 infinite understanding, infinite creativity, 61 00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:21.520 all of that, all power, all love, 62 00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:23.520 every resource you could want to draw on. 63 00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:27.680 In fact, scripture says that springs of living water, 64 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.280 rivers of living water flow out of our belly, okay? 65 00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:32.680 So I'm gonna pray for that 66 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.440 and then we're gonna talk about it 67 00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:35.360 and then we'll come back 68 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.200 and we'll talk about it collectively, okay? 69 00:05:38.200 --> 00:05:41.320 So Father God, I just thank you that, 70 00:05:41.320 --> 00:05:44.360 as it was once said, the best of times and worst of times, 71 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:45.840 in the middle of craziness 72 00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:49.960 and enormous, enormous transformation, 73 00:05:49.960 --> 00:05:54.960 I'm asking Holy Spirit for a spirit of wisdom, 74 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.840 a spirit of revelation knowledge, 75 00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:01.800 a spirit of understanding, a spirit of clarity 76 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.480 that we will be the sons and daughters of Issachar, 77 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.480 that we will understand the times and know what to do. 78 00:06:09.880 --> 00:06:13.000 So I ask that you speak clearly here 79 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.600 and in every single woman represented, 80 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.600 both here live and listening to the recording, 81 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.960 I'm asking Holy Spirit that you will rise up 82 00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:23.680 mightily within us, 83 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.840 that we will be the light as you've called us 84 00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:26.680 to be the light, 85 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.740 that we will be the love as you've called us to be the love, 86 00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:31.560 that we will be the voice of truth 87 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.200 as you've called us to be the voice of hope, 88 00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:37.200 the voice of healing, the voice of love. 89 00:06:37.200 --> 00:06:39.600 I'm asking that you'll use us mightily 90 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.160 and I ask in Jesus' mighty name, amen. 91 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.120 Okay, so I wanna talk of some key words 92 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.000 when we talk about the timing right now 93 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.160 and making the most of the timing, okay? 94 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.080 The first word I wanna talk about is alignment. 95 00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:00.160 If you're taking notes, 96 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.720 you would wanna write down align, align. 97 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.440 What do you need to align with? 98 00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:08.960 Well, let me ask, what are you aligned with? 99 00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:13.720 What do you need to align with? 100 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.600 I'm gonna tell you that right now 101 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:21.400 as there becomes an information overload, 102 00:07:21.400 --> 00:07:25.280 which is also resulting in a lot of deception, 103 00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:29.780 a lot of confusion, a lot, are any of you feeling this? 104 00:07:29.780 --> 00:07:34.080 Are you feeling like there's more webinars coming at you 105 00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:35.080 than you can handle? 106 00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:37.500 There's more knowledge, there's more emails, 107 00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:40.360 there's more eBooks, there's more like, 108 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.560 like, you know, I've got sitting on my computer 109 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.520 like six powerful things I wanna be listening to 110 00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:49.440 and I can't even get to the volumes 111 00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:52.640 that are coming to me right now that are high quality, 112 00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:55.360 I've already sorted, but the volume. 113 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.000 So number one, there's just this volume 114 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.000 of massive information coming at us, okay, and to us. 115 00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:08.840 But there's also confusion, like, was that a real person 116 00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:11.500 or was that an AI simulation? 117 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:14.880 Did that person really say that or did computer graphics, 118 00:08:14.880 --> 00:08:18.800 did that really happen or are we watching a movie screen? 119 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.680 Like, it's getting to the place 120 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.960 where there's gonna be this sense of overwhelming confusion, 121 00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:26.160 like, I don't even know what to believe anymore. 122 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.320 And many people are being overwhelmed by that. 123 00:08:29.320 --> 00:08:32.760 And then if they're being fed by mainstream media, 124 00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:36.280 which is designed to control your emotions, 125 00:08:36.280 --> 00:08:38.559 and there's a lot more that goes into that 126 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.039 to control the frequency and how you're feeling 127 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.080 to have a population, if they want a population angry 128 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.000 or they want a population depressed, 129 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.440 or if you're not aware of that manipulation, 130 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:51.760 we've got to come out. 131 00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:55.720 We've got to be in the world, but not of the world. 132 00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:00.600 You've got to be the one that is influencing the world 133 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.160 as opposed as a leader. 134 00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:05.560 If you're a thought leader, if you are a spiritual leader, 135 00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:07.720 if you're a coach, if you're a teacher, 136 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:12.720 you must be the change and being the influence 137 00:09:13.520 --> 00:09:18.520 instead of being dragged along and driven by the wind, right? 138 00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:24.320 And so to do that, you've got to be in alignment. 139 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.320 You think about a car, if the wheels are out of alignment, 140 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:30.840 you're gonna wear out. 141 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.640 One tire is probably gonna blow out. 142 00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:34.560 I remember one time my alignment was off 143 00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:35.600 and I didn't even know it. 144 00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:38.120 And the whole inside tread, it was completely bare, 145 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.000 but I couldn't really see it on the outside of the tires 146 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.560 on the inside edge. 147 00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:45.520 That's what being out of alignment will do. 148 00:09:45.520 --> 00:09:49.280 It wears off the tread so that you're confused 149 00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:53.720 or you're exhausted or you lack focus or you lack power 150 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:58.400 or you lack love or because you're out of alignment, okay? 151 00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:00.280 And so the first alignment. 152 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.400 Alignment, of course, is within us. 153 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.720 OK, so if I'm talking spiritually, the first alignment, you've got three 154 00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:12.720 components, we're a triune being, OK, we are spirit, soul and body. 155 00:10:12.920 --> 00:10:15.360 OK, so 156 00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:17.880 which of those is running? 157 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:23.680 The proper alignment is that our spirit is running our soul, 158 00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:28.880 which is our mind, will and emotions, which is running and mastering our body. 159 00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:32.800 If that's out of alignment, if your body is what's leading. 160 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.440 And, you know, I got to have a cigarette. 161 00:10:35.640 --> 00:10:37.000 I got to have that food. 162 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:38.840 I need that. I'm craving this. 163 00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:41.480 I'm you know, you're being led by the flesh. 164 00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:43.360 You have not crucified the flesh. 165 00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:47.800 OK, so that the flesh is running you. 166 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:55.840 OK, and that's out of alignment because the soul, the mind, the will, God gave us 167 00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:01.640 the will is meant, OK, to rule over the body. 168 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.120 And the spirit, which is directly 169 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.800 connected with Holy Spirit, is meant to rule the mind. 170 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:14.280 So the mind is renewed and then the body is walking in alignment. 171 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.920 That's that's being in alignment here. 172 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.520 OK, putting that in alignment. 173 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:24.360 Then as we reach out and we're in alignment, this is going to become more 174 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:29.680 and more important. And so one of the ways to be in alignment 175 00:11:29.880 --> 00:11:34.240 is to really know your identity. 176 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.760 So I'm going to be talking a lot about identity. 177 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.400 In fact, you're going to want to mark 178 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:47.160 your calendar on doing a masterclass next month on identity and identity, 179 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:53.560 your self-concept, how you're seeing yourself and your true identity. 180 00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:56.160 Because this is the number one influence 181 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.640 in how much money you're making and how your relationships are working 182 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.960 and how your health is working, how your business. 183 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.520 And it's not something that's talked about very often. 184 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.320 So I'm going to go very deep in identity. 185 00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:12.160 But if we're talking about alignment as 186 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:17.000 it comes to identity, I want you to think about this. 187 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.160 Who are you? 188 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.960 Who are you, if I say, who are you now? 189 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.840 Often if we're out of touch and I say, who are you? 190 00:12:26.040 --> 00:12:30.520 Most people will answer with a role, with what they do. 191 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.880 I'm a mom. I'm a doctor. 192 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.280 I'm a nurse. I'm a teacher. 193 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.560 No, those are things that you do. 194 00:12:37.760 --> 00:12:39.240 Those are roles that you play. 195 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.400 They're not who you are. 196 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.720 Sometimes we're so tapped into our body that we think we're our body. 197 00:12:46.920 --> 00:12:48.720 No, you're not. 198 00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:51.080 You're not a body. You have a body. 199 00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:53.160 But you are not a body. 200 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:58.880 If you lost your arms right now, God forbid, would you still be you? 201 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:00.800 And the answer is yes. 202 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.240 If you lost your legs, would you still be you? 203 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.280 The answer is yes. 204 00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:08.400 Even if your mind was not working, would you still be you? 205 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:13.720 Yes, because the essence of who you are never changes. 206 00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:16.680 So you're not a body and you're not a role. 207 00:13:16.880 --> 00:13:18.480 So what are you? 208 00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:20.640 Who are you? 209 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:24.800 Now, this becomes super, super important. 210 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.000 And it is your self concept. 211 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.400 Like, what are you saying about yourself? 212 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:40.040 Who do you say that you are as opposed to who does God say that you are? 213 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.040 And do they line up? 214 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.600 Do they line up? 215 00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:48.400 So to be in alignment, 216 00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:53.280 we see ourselves the way that God sees us. 217 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.160 So at the recent His View retreat, 218 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.120 God gave me a download and I saw it so clearly. 219 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.720 I saw a very important question. 220 00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:08.880 And Jesus asked Peter a very important question. 221 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.280 He says first, he says, who do they say that I am? 222 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.280 And he says, well, some say you're a prophet, some say you're a teacher, 223 00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:20.000 some say blah, blah, blah, you're Elijah, you're Moses, come back. 224 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:28.600 And then he looks at Peter and he says, who do you say that I am? 225 00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:34.760 And Peter is in alignment at that moment, he's walking in revelation knowledge, 226 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.480 he's hearing direct from spirit and he says, you're the Christ, 227 00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:40.880 the son of the living God. 228 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.200 And Jesus responds and says, Peter, 229 00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:48.360 flesh and blood didn't reveal that to you, but my father that's in heaven. 230 00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:50.560 In other words, Peter, you're tuned in. 231 00:14:50.760 --> 00:14:52.080 That's accurate. 232 00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:56.680 Now, most of us maybe know that story, but let me look at the backside of the story. 233 00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:59.680 Let's pull up the hood on that story. 234 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.120 When you look at the backside of that story, 235 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.920 Jesus did not get his identity from public opinion. 236 00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:10.680 It didn't matter if they said he was Moses or Elijah 237 00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:14.080 or a teacher or a healer or a prophet, 238 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.480 that was not moving him. 239 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:20.760 And then when Peter, he did not need validation. 240 00:15:20.760 --> 00:15:22.960 In other words, when you know who you are, 241 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.800 you don't need external validation. 242 00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:27.920 You don't need likes on Facebook 243 00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:29.680 to be confident in what you teach. 244 00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:31.280 You don't need engagement. 245 00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:34.280 You don't stop or you don't keep changing 246 00:15:34.280 --> 00:15:36.640 in order to get external validation 247 00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:38.960 because you're walking and you're living 248 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.480 from that place of knowing who you are 249 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.600 that does not require external validation, okay? 250 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.840 So Jesus did not reveal. 251 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.440 So he said flesh and blood. 252 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.720 Now, he could not have answered that 253 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.680 if he had not already gotten clear with who he was. 254 00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:02.360 Do you see the power that he was already clear who he was? 255 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.040 So then when someone spoke truth and saw him 256 00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:07.720 as he really was, he could recognize that. 257 00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:11.360 That's where we have to be with our identity. 258 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.800 I'm gonna go deep in the masterclass 259 00:16:13.800 --> 00:16:16.280 how that affects every area of our life. 260 00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:18.560 But when we're talking about being in alignment, 261 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:23.160 it's aligning our self-concept, how we see ourselves, 262 00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:24.640 what we say about ourselves. 263 00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:26.800 When you look in the mirror, what you say about yourself, 264 00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:29.360 your self-talk, all of that, how you see yourself, 265 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.040 how you visualize yourself, what you're imagining, 266 00:16:32.040 --> 00:16:37.040 all that self-concept stuff and who you really, really are. 267 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.520 That has to be in alignment. 268 00:16:41.520 --> 00:16:46.280 Second, we have to be in alignment with our God-given vision. 269 00:16:46.280 --> 00:16:49.520 We have to be in alignment with our God-given vision. 270 00:16:49.520 --> 00:16:53.600 Third, we have to be in alignment 271 00:16:53.640 --> 00:16:58.640 with our God-given design, our divine design. 272 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.480 We have to be in alignment with our divine design. 273 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:08.480 So I gave you an exercise and it's a powerful exercise 274 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.839 because one of the ways you can discern your purpose, 275 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:16.240 you can begin to discern what did God place in you 276 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.680 when he knew you before the foundation of the world 277 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.319 and he created you with unique fingerprints 278 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.640 that nobody else has, unique eye that nobody else has 279 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.400 and a unique plan and a purpose for your life, 280 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:31.480 a divine design. 281 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:34.680 Ephesians says that he's prepared a good path 282 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.560 for us to walk out. 283 00:17:37.560 --> 00:17:41.920 And so to do that, you have to be discerning 284 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:46.000 of your divine design, not what your parents or pastors 285 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.920 or teachers or other people said that you should be or do 286 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.440 or try to follow after what they think, 287 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.720 but who did God make you to be?
