00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:12.500
Very cool.

9
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.700
Are you able to join with video today or are you just audio?

10
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:18.100
Am I what?

00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:22.300

No worries.

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:28.400
Great to have you with us.

16
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:29.700
All right.

17
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:30.300
Thank you.

18
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.200
Pretty sure we're live in the group now as well.

19
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:41.100
Why don't we

20
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:43.100
hear

21
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:52.300
why don't we hear from you guys to see how you know, your

22
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:54.700
testimonies, what's going on, what's happening.

23
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:59.800
And be cool just to hear what's what's happening for people and

24
00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:00.500
then we're going to

25
00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:03.300
jump into the session.

26
00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:05.300
So hello to the people in the Facebook world.

27
00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:17.100
Well clicky.

28
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:18.400
Would you like to pray for us?

29
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:19.900
Sure.

30
00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:25.600
We'll hear some testimonies and then we will launch into our

31
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:26.100
session.

32
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:28.700
But those on Facebook will feel free to say hello.

33
00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:32.000
It's great to be with you, whichever platform you're listening

34
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:32.700
in on today.

35
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:37.500
Go for it, Vicki.

36
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:38.900
Okay.

37
00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:41.300
Thank you, Father.

38
00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:42.100
Thank you, Father.

39
00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:44.900
Thank you, Father, for this wonderful, wonderful day.

40
00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:50.600
Thank you for letting us come together today and for letting

41
00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:54.400
us be a part of this, this group that's helping us to grow.

42
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:59.200
We just thank you for for everything you're doing in our

43
00:01:59.200 --> 00:01:59.700
lives.

44
00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:02.200
Jesus name I pray.

45
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:02.700
Amen.

46
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:06.000
Beautiful.

47
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.400
That's great.

48
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.300
Thank you, Vicki.

49
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.200
Hey, yeah.

50
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:11.600
Well,

51
00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:15.500
What's been happening to you guys in your life?

52
00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:16.700
What's been happening in your week?

53
00:02:16.700 --> 00:02:20.000
Call us to touch base and see what's going on.

54
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:23.200
Well, let's see.

55
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.200
I've been trying to participate in this 21 day thing that we've

56
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:31.000
been doing here.

57
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.600
And I don't know.

58
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:38.300
I made it to about 19 days and I had other things interrupt

59
00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:43.100
that but I'm still continuing to to do hard things trying to

60
00:02:43.100 --> 00:02:45.400
do hard things and I'm finding that

61
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.000
And my wife will attest to this that I've been

62
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.000
I don't know.

63
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.100
I'm spirit spiritually better.

64
00:02:55.100 --> 00:02:56.600
I'm physically better.

65
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.800
I just feel good all the way around that way speaking, you

66
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:03.500
know what I'm saying?

67
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:04.900
Yeah, definitely.

68
00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:06.900
I don't know.

69
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:11.000
I don't I'm not a I'm not a church going person.

70
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.800
I haven't been a church in like 15 years, so I don't I don't do

71
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.600
church, but you know, you you all have got my attention here.

72
00:03:22.100 --> 00:03:25.200
The last church that I went to was Pentecostal.

73
00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:33.300
There were there were issues there and and I myself and I we had

74
00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:34.800
to leave we left there.

75
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.100
Yeah.

76
00:03:36.700 --> 00:03:42.200
They were like control issues and I you know, condemnation is

77
00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:43.600
what I felt from that place.

78
00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:51.400
So I don't see that here.

79
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:52.900
I don't see condemnation.

80
00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:54.400
I see positive things.

81
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.500
Everything that comes out of your mouth is positive for sure.

82
00:03:58.500 --> 00:04:01.700
And and I listen to you.

83
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.400
These other people speak and it's all good to me and and I believe

84
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:17.700
that I'll put it this way the sheep know the Shepherd's voice.

85
00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:18.100
Okay.

86
00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:23.300
I believe that you're speaking truth and all that you're teaching

87
00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:23.600
here.

88
00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:27.500
And it's definitely benefiting me.

89
00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:30.300
I mean things are falling off of me.

90
00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:34.600
Oh, that is fantastic.

91
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:35.900
That's such great news.

92
00:04:35.900 --> 00:04:36.500
My friend.

93
00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:38.200
I'm so so glad to hear that.

94
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.500
What have you been finding the most beneficial out of the Daily

95
00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:43.600
Heartland's Church?

96
00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:48.000
Well, for one thing, I'm reading my Bible again.

97
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.000
That's a big step right there.

98
00:04:52.700 --> 00:04:56.500
It not only did was just is I had a job that that took me away

99
00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:57.200
from that too.

100
00:04:57.200 --> 00:04:59.400
And after a couple of years of my wife.

101
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.760
I said, look, it's time for you to get out of there.

102
00:05:05.760 --> 00:05:10.920
And she's like, refuses to go back to church.

103
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.720
I think I might, but I don't, I don't know.

104
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.200
I just want to listen to what you all have to say.

105
00:05:16.200 --> 00:05:25.240
And I pray a lot now, both in the spirit, which I never did before, and pray.

106
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:32.560
So, but, you know, this, I'm here to see what's going on here with this cleansing of your

107
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.120
imagination and repentance is, you know, I know that I'm not a perfect person.

108
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.600
Oh, cool, man.

109
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:40.600
That's awesome.

110
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:48.520
And I'm just so, so happy to hear that good testimony for you.

111
00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:54.760
So just to clarify, the Daily Hard Things Challenge is a challenge that is part of our

112
00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:55.760
week program.

113
00:05:55.760 --> 00:06:01.760
And I just, I forgot, I was trying to remember today, what week we're in, we must be in week 7.

114
00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:05.760
Oh, you're into Acts, you're into Acts 1 today, I believe.

115
00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:06.760
Yeah, which is exciting.

116
00:06:06.760 --> 00:06:10.760
So yeah, we're starting Acts 1 today, which is great.

117
00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:13.760
And we'll be reading through that.

118
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:14.760
And so it's great fun.

119
00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:18.760
I don't know if you've noticed, you probably have seen it as well, just in the Facebook

120
00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:23.760
group, those daily posts going up, feel free to share on there as well what's been good

121
00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:25.760
and what's working for you.

122
00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:28.760
So, yeah.

123
00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:30.760
It's all working for me.

124
00:06:30.760 --> 00:06:31.760
I just need to keep at it.

125
00:06:31.760 --> 00:06:32.760
That's all.

126
00:06:32.760 --> 00:06:35.760
I need to be consistent in it.

127
00:06:35.760 --> 00:06:38.760
And when I first looked at it, I'm like, oh, that'd be easy.

128
00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:39.760
I can do that.

129
00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:42.760
No, it's not so easy because we have a life too.

130
00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:46.760
There's things we have to do, you know.

131
00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:52.760
So I've done a fairly good job at doing it.

132
00:06:52.760 --> 00:07:00.760
So I'm happy with where I came and I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing.

133
00:07:00.760 --> 00:07:02.760
That is great news.

134
00:07:02.760 --> 00:07:04.760
I'm so happy to hear that.

135
00:07:04.760 --> 00:07:05.760
Very, very cool.

136
00:07:05.760 --> 00:07:15.760
Hey, so we're going to jump into our session today on cleansing the imagination and deep repentance.

137
00:07:15.760 --> 00:07:19.760
So I'm just going to mute everyone just for now.

138
00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:24.760
And I'm going to read a Bible verse to you from Ephesians 1.

139
00:07:24.760 --> 00:07:28.760
The main verse that we're going to look at is Ephesians 1.18.

140
00:07:28.760 --> 00:07:34.760
And I'm going to read this to you from the Amplified version.

141
00:07:34.760 --> 00:07:43.760
And it says, by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light so that you can know and

142
00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:54.760
understand the hope to which he has called you and how rich is his glorious inheritance in the saints.

143
00:07:54.760 --> 00:07:55.760
How good is that?

144
00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:57.760
I'll give you a couple more.

145
00:07:57.760 --> 00:07:58.760
I'll give you another verse there as well.

146
00:07:58.760 --> 00:08:02.760
Verse 19 says, and so that you can know and understand.

147
00:08:02.760 --> 00:08:09.760
So here's the key now is to say no one understand, say no and understand.

148
00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:11.760
And here's what he wants us to know and understand.

149
00:08:11.760 --> 00:08:22.760
What is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of his power in, say in us.

150
00:08:22.760 --> 00:08:30.760
So he wants us to know and to understand the immeasurable and unlimited surpassing greatness of his power that is in us.

151
00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:48.760
And that is for us who believe as demonstrated in the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.

152
00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:49.760
Beautiful.

153
00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:52.760
So go back to verse 18 here for a moment.

154
00:08:52.760 --> 00:08:56.760
By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light.

155
00:08:56.760 --> 00:09:02.760
So the word there for heart is the Greek word cardiac, but it also means mind.

156
00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:05.760
It's connected with your imagination as well.

157
00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:06.760
How good is that?

158
00:09:06.760 --> 00:09:08.760
Right. It's connected with your imagination.

159
00:09:08.760 --> 00:09:12.760
So part of the key, right.

160
00:09:12.760 --> 00:09:15.760
Part of the key to understanding.

161
00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:18.760
So let's look at that verse again.

162
00:09:18.760 --> 00:09:21.760
But this 19 is so that you can know and understand.

163
00:09:22.760 --> 00:09:25.760
And Lorraine, welcome.

164
00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:28.760
Wonderful to have you joining us.

165
00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:31.760
Massive love to you, Lorraine.

166
00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:36.760
How you doing?

167
00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:38.760
Let's just see if I just see Lorraine jumping in here.

168
00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:40.760
She hasn't caught us live for a little while.

169
00:09:40.760 --> 00:09:41.760
Lorraine, how are you?

170
00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:47.760
How are you doing?

171
00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:49.760
She might just be on audio for a moment.

172
00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:51.760
We've lost her.

173
00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:53.760
Anyway, jumping back in this.

174
00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:56.760
So by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light.

175
00:09:56.760 --> 00:09:59.760
So say flooded with light.

176
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.440
light, right? Flooded with light. That's a key for us. And so it's by having the eyes of our heart

177
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:14.160
flooded with light that we will know and understand the hopes which He has called us

178
00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:19.040
and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints. And that we will also know and understand

179
00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:25.920
what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in us and

180
00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:32.160
for us who believe as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength which He exerted in Christ

181
00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:37.600
when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places.

182
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:43.440
So the key here to kind of knowing and understanding is the flooding of the eyes of

183
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.160
our heart with light and with revelation. But the eyes of your heart there, you want to understand

184
00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:57.760
that's speaking of our imagination, okay? So our imagination, here's some beautiful

185
00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:02.880
things about the imagination. The imagination was never the product of evolution.

186
00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:13.280
Let's do a little survey. Who thinks that their imagination is good or evil? Would you say that

187
00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:19.360
your imagination is good or is your imagination evil? Feel free to unmute here guys and chat for a

188
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:27.520
moment. Is your imagination good or is it evil? Good. You got a good imagination. Biffy, how about you?

189
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.320
Good imagination or evil?

190
00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:40.560
I would say both. Yeah, both. Is there anything you struggle with in your imagination?

191
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:51.680
Oh, I don't know. Not anything in particular. Yeah, okay. So

192
00:11:52.400 --> 00:11:58.560
I'll just unmute you guys all again and we'll just carry on with it. But the imagination is not the

193
00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:04.880
byproduct of evolution, right? That's something that God put in us right at the beginning to

194
00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:10.640
empower us to have effortless communication and effortless intimacy with Him.

195
00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:14.640
So the imagination is not the byproduct of evolution, right? That's something that God put in us right at the beginning

196
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:21.440
to empower us to have effortless communication and effortless intimacy with Him.

197
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:29.760
So that's the purpose of your imagination. That's what God put it in you for. It's a divine

198
00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:35.840
supernatural communication system that God placed in us so that we could experience

199
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:43.040
effortless communication and effortless intimacy with God. So the imagination in itself, it's the

200
00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:48.160
divine design of the imagination is amazing. It's like a window that you can look through your

201
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:53.600
imagination. You can see God. You can connect with God. You can connect with so many of the

202
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:59.200
things where you step into a place of supernatural ministry. So many of them pivot

203
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:05.840
around understanding how to utilize and steward your imagination. Hearing from God, receiving

204
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:12.560
pictures, receiving prophetic words. So much of that pivots around your imagination and then also

205
00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:18.560
just like in your own union and communion and connection with God. So much of it pivots around

206
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:26.800
your imagination. But I've got an old buddy who had a military background

207
00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:33.760
and he had all sorts of skeletons in the closet, you might say, in his imagination. A lot of dark

208
00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:38.640
memories from his military days. He's like, oh man, I don't ever want to go in there.

209
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.920
But because he had this kind of dark side to his imagination that made him scared of

210
00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:52.240
his imagination, he missed out on so much of what he could have had in terms of intimacy

211
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:58.800
and connection with God because he was afraid of all the junk in his imagination. Now who's

212
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:04.640
had junk in their imagination or got junk in their imagination or has to declutter their imagination

213
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:14.240
on a regular basis? For me, for sure, I used to get way more junk in my imagination.

214
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:21.680
I learned this one trick. Actually, who's seen the movie Inception?

215
00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:32.000
Yeah, Leonardo DiCaprio, fantastic movie, real mind-bender. But it was when I was watching that

216
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:39.120
movie that I actually, one of the first times I actually got a really deep, deep revelation of my

217
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:47.040
own holiness and actually of my own identity. Because in that movie, the whole idea is that

218
00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:54.560
to incept someone, what they try to do is put an idea in someone's mind and then convince them that

219
00:14:54.560 --> 00:15:00.000
that idea is their idea and not something that's been put there from an external

220
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.320
source that's the whole the art of inception was to convince someone that the idea you put in their

221
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:12.560
mind was their own idea and not your idea and while I was watching that I realized oh my gosh

222
00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:20.160
my whole life Satan's been doing this to me he's been putting thoughts in my mind he's been putting

223
00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:25.680
you know like I'd you know like I'd be walking along and then this really graphic evil you know

224
00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:30.800
maybe sexually perverted image or a violent image or something just pop up into my imagination that

225
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:36.080
I never asked for it just ta-da it's just all of a sudden it's there and I'm like holy what's going

226
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:44.480
on here like I didn't ask for that but I didn't understand how demonic inception worked so I would

227
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:51.360
start feeling bad thinking oh no I'm such a bad person to have such an evil thought oh man what's

228
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:57.760
wrong with me not understanding that actually my imagination was being used against me and it was

229
00:15:57.760 --> 00:16:03.520
when I was watching that movie that I realized wow this is what Satan's been doing to me and so I

230
00:16:03.520 --> 00:16:10.080
want to give you one one hack that's completely changed my life in this area is I now have a

231
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:18.320
return to sender policy right now if an evil nasty image or something like that pops up into my

232
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:25.200
imagination I what I used to do in the past is I used to own it like it was mine and you get real

233
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:31.520
bad feel bad about it and you um repent about it and I'm so sorry but now the first thing that I do

234
00:16:31.520 --> 00:16:40.880
is I um I identify that it's actually not that's not my thought and I don't take ownership of it

235
00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:45.840
right I love to take ownership of things that are my mess and we'll talk about that in a minute but

236
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:50.720
things that aren't your mess or aren't aren't our own mess we shouldn't take ownership of that right

237
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:55.760
so if I get something that's you know just pops up into my mind that's this graphic evil or something

238
00:16:55.760 --> 00:17:01.680
like I immediately just have this return to return to sender policy so return to sender

239
00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:08.720
I like I have no part in that I just disconnect any like I disconnect myself from having any

240
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:14.240
ownership of it and I just say I refuse to partner with that in Jesus name I just return that to send

241
00:17:14.800 --> 00:17:20.240
and I find now that those things just bounce off me it's kind of like uh trying to like a teflon

242
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:26.560
coating on your imagination it's non-stick right so all these things accusations evil thoughts

243
00:17:26.560 --> 00:17:33.200
negative words about me um pictures all sorts of things that Satan needs to really get me with

244
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:39.840
really badly and then I feel all bad about myself and try and repent of it well now I just have a

245
00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:44.400
return to send a policy if he puts things in my imagination that aren't supposed to be in that

246
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:50.400
post box I go return to sender and I don't bother repeating of them because I'm like that's not my

247
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:55.760
junk and it's like just goes in the junk box it gets returned to the sender and I don't participate

248
00:17:55.760 --> 00:18:02.240
with it so I thought I'd share that one hack with you because that like really brought a huge amount

249
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:07.840
of freedom to me of the things that I was processing in my imagination because in your imagination

250
00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:12.560
there's a whole bunch of stuff going on see that's where God's going to speak to you that's

251
00:18:12.560 --> 00:18:16.000
where the enemy's going to speak to you that's where you're going to get like you know ideas

252
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:21.520
from God and that's where as well like your own memories are going to be in there um you know

253
00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:27.840
if you've been watching you know like dodgy stuff or you've seen a traumatic incident those things

254
00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:34.720
are all going to like be swirling together in your imagination and what you want to do is you

255
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:42.880
want your imagination to become a resting place for you and Jesus you don't want your imagination

256
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:50.320
to be a storm you want your imagination to be a resting place a place where you and Jesus connect

257
00:18:50.320 --> 00:18:56.400
a place where you have intimate fellowship with God a place where you hear his voice a place where

258
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:02.480
he's speaking all the time that's that's what you want your imagination to be for you you want to

259
00:19:02.560 --> 00:19:07.600
redeem your imagination so that comes back into alignment with the original purpose

260
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:15.600
for that that God has for imagination which is for your imagination to be a place of effortless

261
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:24.320
communication and oneness with God does that sound good who likes the idea of that

262
00:19:24.320 --> 00:19:31.360
I think that sounds awesome so the first the first I guess one of the first things for me

263
00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:37.600
in this process was identifying what shouldn't be in there right uh and that was that whole

264
00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:42.800
inception thing so I started to realize well some of these things that I think of my junk

265
00:19:42.800 --> 00:19:48.240
aren't so I what I was doing is I was cutting off the flow of negative stuff into my imagination

266
00:19:49.520 --> 00:19:55.760
now uh there's another side to our imagination as well as like all the rubbish that we've put

267
00:19:55.760 --> 00:19:59.840
in there ourselves you can't just retain you can't just return to seeing

268
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.840
it's a satan, something that's your junk, all right. You actually have to take ownership for

269
00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:12.480
that, you have to deal with that and you actually have to cleanse your own imagination. Now your

270
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:18.560
imagination can get defiled, corrupted, contaminated by all sorts of things and they don't have to just

271
00:20:18.560 --> 00:20:25.680
be your that. It could be an incident that happened in front of you, it could be a trauma,

272
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:32.880
it could be an abuse, it could be all sorts of things that... Hey Lorraine,

273
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:41.040
welcome, good to have you with us. Yeah, I apologize for that earlier, I was on my computer

274
00:20:41.040 --> 00:20:47.360
and I don't have a mic on that so I switched over to my laptop. No worries, Lorraine, we're about to

275
00:20:47.360 --> 00:20:59.280
you. Oh, where are you? I'm in Oklahoma. Very cool, wonderful to have you with us, very, very cool.

276
00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:07.760
Righto, so if you missed anything, so if I always catch replays, but we'll carry on.

277
00:21:08.800 --> 00:21:15.840
So with the imagination, we've got to figure out what's our mess, what do we need to tidy up,

278
00:21:15.840 --> 00:21:21.440
what do we need to take ownership for and how are we going to actually do that. So

279
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:29.680
when it comes to your imagination, your mess might not necessarily have been made by you, right?

280
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.680
Say if you, this is what I was just covering there, it's like if you went through a traumatic incident

281
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.440
that it wasn't your responsibility but you were there, what you have is you have all this

282
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.960
information going through your eye gate, going through your ear gate, going through your sensory

283
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:45.760
gates, you know, like you're seeing it, hearing it, touching it, smelling it, tasting it, all of

284
00:21:45.760 --> 00:21:51.520
these things, they get stored in your memory, stored in your imagination. Your imagination, like

285
00:21:51.520 --> 00:21:57.600
it's kind of like a cow, you know, like a cow chews its cud, your imagination does that with

286
00:21:57.600 --> 00:22:02.160
all your memories. Every now and then it'll just pluck a memory up and it'll kind of recirculate

287
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:08.000
and cycle and it'll just be, you know, in your mind. So what I want to share with you now is

288
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:17.280
some really amazing tips on how to actually cleanse your imagination and I spent a lot of time

289
00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:21.680
cleansing my imagination, had a number of different people that speak on this

290
00:22:22.320 --> 00:22:26.400
concept and so I was like, okay, cool, I'm going to do some work personally on cleansing my

291
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:32.400
imagination and I just started with, I started with looking at, you know, what were the things

292
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:37.840
that were on the forefront, you know, like what were the things that seemed to be the messiest

293
00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:43.120
things in my imagination that would pop up, anything that was kind of, yeah, I guess those

294
00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:47.680
things that were on the forefront. So I spent the first time, I tidied up those things that were on

295
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.920
the forefront of my imagination, then there was some stuff from my past and, you know, like

296
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.400
different things like that, I tidied those up, the obvious things and after I kind of tidied up the

297
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.480
obvious things and I guess I'm sharing, what I'm sharing with you now is to kind of highlight the

298
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:05.840
fact that I put a lot of time into this, like I didn't just do it every now and then, this is

299
00:23:05.840 --> 00:23:12.400
something that I invested years into intentionally working on cleansing my imagination in order to

300
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:18.160
turn my imagination into a resting place with Jesus, where there's not going to be other junk

301
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:24.560
in there, my imagination is a place for oneness with God, my imagination is a place for effortless

302
00:23:24.560 --> 00:23:31.120
communication with God and anyone can cleanse their imagination but imagine, if you can

303
00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:38.720
utilize your imagination, imagine a big warehouse that's just full of junk, right, a lot of people

304
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.960
don't realize the value of their imagination, just treat it like a warehouse full of all sorts of

305
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.080
junk and smelly stuff and there's a few dead bodies over here and a bit of junk there and

306
00:23:48.080 --> 00:23:55.520
all sorts of random stuff over there and that, so imagine it could be a, your imagination could be

307
00:23:55.520 --> 00:24:00.560
a big warehouse full of junk or your imagination could be a garden,

308
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:08.960
your imagination could be a garden, a resting place where you commune effortlessly

309
00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:16.240
with the Trinity and it could be a place where you can effortlessly tap into the divine light,

310
00:24:16.320 --> 00:24:22.240
could be a place where you effortlessly tap into all that God has for you, could be a place where

311
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:27.440
you're receiving exactly what you need in that situation, could be a place where you're hearing

312
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:32.960
from God on a moment-by-moment basis, like all through the day, he's just chatting to you exactly

313
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:39.120
what you need to hear, so what would you like your imagination to be? A messy storehouse or a garden

314
00:24:39.760 --> 00:24:48.480
that is a resting place for Jesus, so that's why I spent years working on this process, so

315
00:24:49.840 --> 00:24:55.440
I say that to kind of help give a scribe some value to the process of what we're doing right

316
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.840
now, that this is not something that I've done and then walked away from it, something that

317
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.000
I did have a season for a couple of years where I intensely worked on my imagination and decluttered it,

318
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.000
but it's also something that is event and process.

319
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:19.000
So, I've given you the first thing that's the helpful thing is that I have security around my imagination of what I commit in there in the sense of,

320
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:26.000
you know, we have to have security around what we're going to allow in through our eye gates, our ear gates, all our five senses.

321
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:31.000
What are we going to allow in there? And then there's a spiritual dynamic, which we talked about before,

322
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:35.000
in terms of if there's something demonic that's being spoken or a word that's being dropped,

323
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:38.000
we want to be able to return that to senior and say, I'm not participating in that.

324
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:49.000
But then there's this, OK, let's focus right now on how we're going to deal with the things that are already in our imagination that might be causing some chaos.

325
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:57.000
So. A few different people in New Zealand have taught this, Mike Connell, Ian Clayton,

326
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.000
I think Mike Connell was one of the first guys to teach this in New Zealand.

327
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:06.000
But it's it's all about dealing with things.

328
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:14.000
So I'll give you an example of this. It's about utilizing the blood of Jesus to cleanse our imaginations.

329
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.000
But it's actually quite a fun activation, quite a fun tool.

330
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.000
So you might want to do this with me as I describe it.

331
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.000
You feel free to like it's probably best not to take notes right now and kind of get more into it,

332
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:33.000
like a practical state and maybe take notes from the replay or something like that.

333
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:40.000
But I want you to think about something as I tell a story, it might pop up, you know, something might pop up for you.

334
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:47.000
But if there's anything in your imagination, say a traumatic event or could be a sin,

335
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.000
it could be something that, you know, like if you're online, you could be looking at something,

336
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.000
you know, I'm looking at something the other day and, you know, like a naked lady just pops up on my screen.

337
00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:00.000
I'm like, hey, I didn't ask for that, I didn't click on that, it just turned up on my screen.

338
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.000
How rude, you know? So all sorts of things can jump up in there.

339
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:09.000
So I was dealing with this one particular relationship, actually.

340
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:14.000
It was a relationship and there was some unforgiveness there, really.

341
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.000
And there's some offense on my end in the relationship.

342
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:20.000
But I could feel this stuff brewing up in my imagination.

343
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:25.000
So let me share this activation with you and how it works and how I got a deliverance from it

344
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:29.000
in the process of using this activation. And I use it all the time.

345
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:35.000
So it really does work. So first of all, what you want to do is you want to imagine,

346
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.000
this is a good thing, you can be in your imagination now.

347
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:43.000
So if there is a problem, whatever the problem is, I'll take that problem,

348
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:47.000
I'll look at it in my imagination and I'll kind of grab a hold of it, OK?

349
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.000
So it could be an image that you've seen, it could be a relationship,

350
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.000
it could be all sorts of different problems. And this particular story,

351
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:58.000
it was about a relationship, OK? There was this relationship.

352
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:04.000
So I had a picture there in my mind's eye and the picture was a symbol of the relationship.

353
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:08.000
I imagined it as a picture and then I took the picture and I nailed the picture

354
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:12.000
to a cross in my imagination. This is the awesome thing about your imagination

355
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.000
is anything is possible. All of a sudden, ta-da, I've got a cross, that's great.

356
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:18.000
Then I've got a hammer, you know, all these things disappear.

357
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:24.000
So I nailed this image to the cross. And then what I've started to do is

358
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:30.000
I've started to imagine myself painting this image with the blood of Jesus, all right?

359
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:37.000
So this is for me a repentance tool that I use to cleanse my imagination.

360
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:42.000
So this is how it starts oftentimes is I'll identify whatever the issue is

361
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.000
and I'll frame it as a picture and I will nail it up to the cross.

362
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:52.000
And then once I've done that, I take ownership. If it's my junk, I take ownership.

363
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:58.000
I'm like, God, I just want to own it. This is my mess, but I also want to break

364
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:02.000
all allegiance with it. So ownership is step one, okay?

365
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.000
So you're going to own it. So you're going to own your mess.

366
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.000
Okay, Jesus, this is my mess. This is in my imagination.

367
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:12.000
Let's take ownership for it, but I break all agreement with it.

368
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:16.000
Okay, that's a real key with repentance. Make sure you break all agreement

369
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:20.000
with whatever it is, okay? If there's a, you know, if you've watched a movie

370
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.000
or something and there's a bad image there, you just want to put that up there.

371
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:29.000
So I break all agreement with this. Whatever form of darkness there is,

372
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.000
you've got to break agreement. That's so key. Breaking agreement.

373
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:38.000
So I'll do that. So Jesus, I break all agreement with this lie,

374
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:43.000
with this event, with this image. And I ask right now, Jesus,

375
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:47.000
for your forgiveness. That's a real beautiful space, okay?

376
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:52.000
So you're owning it. You're renouncing it. You're receiving forgiveness.

377
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:55.000
Now, you never have to question whether or not he'll forgive you.

378
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:59.000
That's a done deal. So you can ask, but it's really more about receiving.

379
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.080
receive forgiveness for this in my life. Wow, in your beautiful

380
00:30:04.080 --> 00:30:07.840
name. So this particular image, it was to do with the

381
00:30:07.840 --> 00:30:10.800
relationship, but there was still a fence in my heart. And

382
00:30:10.800 --> 00:30:14.000
when I looked at this image in my imagination, I could see

383
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.840
something kind of writhing underneath, moving around, kind

384
00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:21.640
of squirming under the picture. And then I had this table full

385
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.520
of things there. And conveniently, there's a sphere.

386
00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:26.560
So I just picked up the sphere in my imagination. And I threw

387
00:30:26.560 --> 00:30:29.920
it at the image, and it hit the image, and it went, and

388
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.800
exploded. All this demonic junk exploded out. It was like,

389
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.520
like, imagine popping a massive boil, you know, gross. It was

390
00:30:36.520 --> 00:30:40.880
like, all this junk popped out of it. And I realized that what

391
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.160
was exploding was all this stored up offense and bitterness

392
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.360
in me. And so I broke agreement with all of that. I renounced

393
00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:52.040
that. I said, Jesus, I'm not going to have any part of that

394
00:30:52.080 --> 00:30:56.080
offense or that bitterness or that unforgiveness anymore. And

395
00:30:56.320 --> 00:31:00.080
I just ask you, cleanse it in the blood of Jesus. Now, I'm

396
00:31:00.080 --> 00:31:03.360
going to shift to, like, a classic way I would do this

397
00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:07.000
normally, because that's a slightly different way. But when

398
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.560
you're doing this, it can happen all sorts of different ways. So

399
00:31:09.560 --> 00:31:13.280
I want to walk you through one now, practically. So I want you

400
00:31:13.280 --> 00:31:16.520
to think of something right now that is something that you could

401
00:31:16.520 --> 00:31:20.840
be, like, dealing with in your own imagination. Okay, so I just

402
00:31:20.840 --> 00:31:24.120
want you just to take a moment now and just ask Holy Spirit,

403
00:31:24.120 --> 00:31:27.240
say, Holy Spirit, what do you want me to deal with? You know,

404
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:29.960
Holy Spirit, what is my imagination that you want me to

405
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:48.640
deal with right now? Okay. Let's take a moment. Okay, now,

406
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.120
whatever it is that you're dealing with, you want to frame

407
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:55.640
it, you want to see it as an image, okay? You're going to

408
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.360
take that image, and you're going to nail it to the cross in

409
00:31:58.360 --> 00:32:03.520
your imagination. First thing we're going to do is we're going

410
00:32:03.560 --> 00:32:12.120
to say, Jesus, take ownership for this being my imagination.

411
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:16.800
But I break all agreement with it right now, in your beautiful

412
00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:24.560
name, Jesus. I break all agreement with it. And I ask you

413
00:32:24.560 --> 00:32:28.840
to cleanse me now, in your beautiful blood, Jesus, I ask you

414
00:32:28.840 --> 00:32:33.920
to cleanse me in your blood right now. Now, what I want you

415
00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:37.480
to do is I just want you to imagine yourself covering that

416
00:32:37.520 --> 00:32:41.840
image in the blood of Jesus. Now, when I do this activation

417
00:32:41.840 --> 00:32:44.640
with people, with a lot of my students, they'll use different

418
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.400
ways. Some people paint it, some people get a water blast from

419
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.640
their imagination. Some people have water bombs of the blood of

420
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.520
Jesus. But the whole idea is that you find your way with

421
00:32:54.520 --> 00:33:02.600
Jesus to cover this image in the blood of Jesus. And what I

422
00:33:02.600 --> 00:33:08.400
would, what I would notice is that some things would, would

423
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:15.960
get cleansed quite quickly. Just got Beth joining us, which

424
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:22.920
is quite cool. See if she connects to the audio. Give her

425
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:26.400
a second. So, um, so what I would notice is that some

426
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:30.000
images that weren't like really deeply connected to my heart, I

427
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:33.840
could do this quickly. And then I would find that they were done

428
00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:36.880
and they were gone. And I was actually set free. And that

429
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:39.640
image wasn't an issue anymore. Hi, Beth. Welcome. Good to have

430
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:53.560
you with us. Oh, there he is. So what I would do, I'm just, I'll

431
00:33:53.560 --> 00:33:55.760
just follow through with you with the rest of this, okay,

432
00:33:55.760 --> 00:33:58.880
with the rest of this process. So I've put the image up on the

433
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:05.800
cross, owned it, renounced it, cleansed it. Then I would take

434
00:34:05.800 --> 00:34:10.960
this image now to the cross with me. Once I felt that it had

435
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.400
really been cleansed, then I'd take it. And then I would

436
00:34:13.600 --> 00:34:16.840
imagine a ball and chain on the end of this cross, and I would

437
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:21.520
throw it off a cliff into the blood of Jesus. And then it

438
00:34:21.520 --> 00:34:24.760
would be gone. Sometimes I noticed for some things that

439
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.679
were in my imagination that for whatever reason, they maybe had

440
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.920
deeper level of memory attached to them or a deeper level of

441
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.440
trauma. They didn't just go just like that. I could do it

442
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.440
multiple times. And the other thing about this is that I had

443
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:45.120
to learn, I had to learn a process of doing it. So it's a

444
00:34:45.120 --> 00:34:49.520
little bit like creating a pathway in your brain. So when

445
00:34:49.520 --> 00:34:51.520
you first start doing this, it's not actually, it doesn't

446
00:34:51.520 --> 00:34:54.920
actually work that way. You're kind of developing a new thing.

447
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:58.400
It's kind of slow. But after a while of doing this, all of a

448
00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:59.960
sudden, it's like, oh, this is really

449
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.200
like you're cleansing things all these things that were in your mind you're able to like you

450
00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:11.440
kind of created a fast track system to be able to deal with all this junk that's built up so even if

451
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:16.000
something new comes in there you can kind of deal with it real quick and so what I do is I chuck it

452
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:21.920
off that cliff into uh into the ocean of the blood of Jesus and then if it popped up again

453
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.200
um because sometimes they do right and it's to do with your brain and how your brain stores

454
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:33.680
information and memory and things like that but if they popped up again then I would take that

455
00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:38.320
image and I'll just do it again right repeat the process and throw it off the cliff again and if it

456
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:43.360
can't pop up again I repeat the process and throw it off the cliff and do it again and what happened

457
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:50.560
is you imagine a warehouse full of junk well that was what my imagination used to be so I just got

458
00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:54.800
busy going around the warehouse little by little spending a couple of years just going I'm going

459
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.720
to cleanse this up I'm going to tidy this up I'm going to repeat to this I'm going to cleanse this

460
00:35:58.720 --> 00:36:06.480
and tidy this up and slowly my imagination shifted from a warehouse full of junk that shifted to a

461
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:12.480
garden that became a resting place for the blood of Jesus uh for a resting place for my relationship

462
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:20.000
with Jesus and my imagination became a place where I could have effortless communion and effortless

463
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:25.520
oneness with God and effortless communication as well how good is that

464
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.400
cool fam hey we're gonna um just have some Q&A now

465
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:41.040

00:36:58.720 --> 00:37:02.160
is this like similar to taking every thought captive

470
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:05.920
that's exactly what this is

471
00:37:06.560 --> 00:37:09.120
ah that's exactly what this is

472
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:18.160
that's exactly what this is but it's just a you know like you can read that 2 Corinthians 5 10

473
00:37:18.160 --> 00:37:22.640
and go okay we're gonna take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ Jesus

474
00:37:24.160 --> 00:37:26.400
but then how are you actually going to do that

475
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.800
how are you actually going to do that and I'll give you one other

476
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:37.600
element to this process as well if something doesn't cleanse if something doesn't kind of

477
00:37:37.600 --> 00:37:44.480
get sorted out right away what I'll do as well as well that picture is is on the cross

478
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:51.120
so I'll ask Jesus is there am I believing a lie about this is there a lie I'm believing

479
00:37:51.120 --> 00:37:56.960
about this situation this event somewhere is there a lie that I'm believing okay so I want

480
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.400
to break agreement with all the lies and I'm going to stop and I'm going to ask and take

481
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:06.800
some time there and go Jesus is there is there a lie that I'm believing so if it doesn't cleanse

482
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:10.960
right away then you want to really take some time just to meditate and ask Jesus is there a lie that

483
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:17.120
I'm believing about this image this experience this memory and a lot of times you'll be like

484
00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:22.400
yeah here's the lie and you go okay sweet if you get if he reveals a lie then you always have to

485
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:29.680
follow up with okay well what's the truth and you'll find that he will bring amazing revelation

486
00:38:29.680 --> 00:38:36.240
there and it's extremely powerful revelation because it's revelation specific to you specific

487
00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:44.080
to a particular circumstance and so he'll give revelation in a way that produces amazing freedom

488
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:51.760
cool any other any other questions there

489
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:06.480
no all right sweet so yeah you go for it yeah when you talk about these things is

490
00:39:06.560 --> 00:39:11.120
is this like the whole area as well about you know ptsd and

491
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:21.920
yeah so that kind of starts moving into the next part of where we're going

492
00:39:23.120 --> 00:39:26.400
but I would love to challenge you guys to start practicing this

493
00:39:27.520 --> 00:39:30.960
right like that's that's something that I would encourage you to practice okay

494
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:37.920
and remember just who likes the idea of their imagination becoming a garden a resting place

495
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:44.480
for their relationship with God who feels like that's what their imagination is already

496
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:53.440
for sure I'd like that to be that way yeah cool so I mean for all of us we've got it it's a process

497
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:59.840
you know to to get there and you know we can hear people say repent or Romans 12 to be

498
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.360
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Those are great lines, but often there's not many

499
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:14.560
practical tools that you can use to do that. So what I actually did, and there was, you

500
00:40:14.560 --> 00:40:18.400
know, people that were talking about this, giving this example is, I said, okay, Jesus,

501
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:21.680
I went back, I went through every year of my life. And I was like, Jesus, is there anything

502
00:40:21.680 --> 00:40:25.760
that you want to deal with that happened in this year? Is there anything that you wanted

503
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:29.680
to deal with that happened in this year? Anything that happened? And so I went through all the

504
00:40:29.680 --> 00:40:36.240
years of my life, I was like, Jesus, is there anything you wanted to deal with? And sometimes

505
00:40:36.240 --> 00:40:40.560
he said, yes, sometimes he said no. And if he said yes, I was like, great, let's deal

506
00:40:40.560 --> 00:40:46.400
with it. You know, so it's that, it's about being really intentional, not just doing the

507
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:52.160
bare minimum, but about getting really intentional in the process of turning your imagination

508
00:40:52.160 --> 00:40:59.600
into a garden for intimacy with you and Jesus. I even went, you know, like some of those

509
00:40:59.600 --> 00:41:03.680
years, I even went, I mean, I spent a lot of time doing this, to be honest, I'd just

510
00:41:03.680 --> 00:41:09.120
get in my secret place and be like, okay, God, here's the year, here's the month, anything

511
00:41:09.120 --> 00:41:12.800
here that you want to go through? And oftentimes there wasn't, but every now and then, just

512
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:15.840
every now and then something would pop up and be like, yes, I want to deal with this.

513
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:19.760
And so, I mean, you don't have to do it like that. You can do it any way you like, but

514
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:27.520
the mindset behind it is intentionality of saying, God, search me and know me and test

515
00:41:27.520 --> 00:41:30.880
me and see if there's any wicked way inside of me. It's about having this heart, and I

516
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:37.600
pray this all the time, Lord, leave no stone unturned in me. You're like, purify me, cleanse

517
00:41:37.600 --> 00:41:44.080
me, leave no stone unturned in me. Like, don't let there be a place in my mind, in my heart

518
00:41:44.080 --> 00:41:51.200
where lies can hide. Don't let there be a place in my heart where I've created shelter

519
00:41:51.200 --> 00:41:57.520
for darkness. And like, no matter the cost, Lord, leave no stone unturned. Do whatever

520
00:41:57.520 --> 00:42:03.120
you have to do. Do whatever you have to do, Lord, to unearth that stuff.

521
00:42:03.120 --> 00:42:09.600
So, there's two things that are really key here. One is the intentionality of going after

522
00:42:09.600 --> 00:42:17.840
God for this deeper level of transformation. And then, so that's one thing. And then the

523
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:24.240
other thing is actually having a tool to be able to do it. So, you need different tools.

524
00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:27.840
That's why I wanted to share this session with you, because of how powerful this tool

525
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:39.440
has been in my life to bring a lot of freedom. So, now with your PTSD comment,

526
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:58.880
come with me to Isaiah 61. And we've got to start moving now into this place of deep

527
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:04.080
repentance. So, Isaiah 61 says, the spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me, because the

528
00:43:04.080 --> 00:43:09.520
Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the

529
00:43:09.520 --> 00:43:15.520
brokenhearted, and to proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for

530
00:43:15.520 --> 00:43:20.000
the prisoners. To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of

531
00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:25.680
our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion.

532
00:43:25.680 --> 00:43:35.520
Okay, so I'm just going to stop. I'm going to stop right there. Actually, this first

533
00:43:35.520 --> 00:43:42.400
verse is really the key for us. The Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.

534
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:49.040
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted. Okay, so that word brokenhearted is actually

535
00:43:49.040 --> 00:43:54.480
the Hebrew word Shabbat. Okay, Shabbat. Some of you might have heard there's a ministry

536
00:43:54.480 --> 00:44:00.480
out there called Shabbat, a ministry protocol called Shabbat. But what Shabbat means is,

537
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:07.840
Shabbat means the shattered minds. Interesting, eh? That one of the key purposes of why Jesus

538
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:15.520
came was to restore the shattered mind. So, yeah, it's really powerful. It doesn't actually

539
00:44:15.520 --> 00:44:23.520
mean brokenhearted. It means shattered minds. But brokenheartedness is actually more a symptom

540
00:44:23.520 --> 00:44:31.360
than a root cause. Does that make sense? If you feel brokenhearted, it's evidence of a shattered

541
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:38.560
mind. So, the deeper level of what Jesus was saying there is Shabbat. I have come to

542
00:44:40.160 --> 00:44:47.120
proclaim good news to the poor, and he has sent me to bind up the shattered minds. And the way

543
00:44:47.120 --> 00:44:52.080
that he's going to bind up the shattered minds is always going to be with truth. Okay, you will know

544
00:44:52.080 --> 00:44:56.240
the truth, and the truth will set you free. So, it's always going to be through truth that he's

545
00:44:56.240 --> 00:44:59.760
doing that. It's always going to be through revelation. It's always going to be light.

546
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.440
that shatter minds and it's always going to be truth that restores them.

547
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:11.280
He has sent me to, oh sorry, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for

548
00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:15.440
the prisoners. So another thing that's interesting here is there's a difference between being a

549
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:23.120
captive and being a prisoner. Okay so if you're a captive it's because someone has sinned against

550
00:45:23.120 --> 00:45:30.480
you. Right so you've been abused or you've been wronged or whatever you're a captive in that

551
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:36.480
sense that's what a captive is maybe but maybe you've got a maybe you were the victim but you

552
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:43.840
took offense you're still a captive okay in that sense but a prisoner in this context a prisoner

553
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:50.880
is someone who is sitting against someone right they have a legal right to be a prisoner of

554
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:55.040
someone who's you know there's a legal right for them to be in prison the captive is someone who's

555
00:45:55.040 --> 00:46:01.200
just taken they've been taken unjustly okay so captives and prisoners there's an important thing

556
00:46:01.200 --> 00:46:06.080
there like you're a prisoner if you're the perpetrator you're a captive if you're the

557
00:46:06.080 --> 00:46:10.720
victim so just a slight difference there in terms of what Jesus is talking about but let's check out

558
00:46:13.680 --> 00:46:20.000
Shabbat for a moment so Shabbat the shattered minds this is a really dynamic place because

559
00:46:20.080 --> 00:46:28.640
you know PTSD post-traumatic stress disorder so many things we don't realize how often the mind

560
00:46:28.640 --> 00:46:35.120
shatters and you will find that if you get into you know more in-depth in the healing ministry

561
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:42.800
you will find that people have they call it parts oftentimes it's called someone has a different

562
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:48.240
part and if there's a trauma your mind will shatter it will break it into a different part

563
00:46:48.720 --> 00:46:56.400
and that part might be you know like it might be a four-year-old girl and sometimes what happens

564
00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:00.400
is your mind gets shattered into lots of different parts and depending on the trauma depending on the

565
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:08.000
person these parts can take on personalities of their own so the personality you know this is

566
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:13.760
where you get multiple personality disorder okay it's a shattered mind but it's a really deeply

567
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:18.960
shattered mind and it's a person who's you know in the context of a shattered mind this is a really

568
00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:27.840
really like simple simplistic overview of it but a really simplistic basic overview of it which is

569
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:33.520
not like extra just just basic would be that those shattered parts of the mind can take on different

570
00:47:33.520 --> 00:47:41.120
personalities and in different contexts an individual will find that one of those personalities

571
00:47:41.120 --> 00:47:48.560
is more beneficial for them so it's like a mask right and sometimes you meet people like this oh

572
00:47:48.560 --> 00:47:53.200
hey it's like you're a totally different person right they put on they take a mask off they put

573
00:47:53.200 --> 00:48:00.160
a mask on so in one particular and usually it's coping mechanisms survival mechanisms safety

574
00:48:00.160 --> 00:48:06.960
mechanisms that if they're in an unsafe space in one area one part might be the right part to play

575
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:12.800
to be safe in that area so they get that personality they put that on and then another part it will

576
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:17.040
change now the interesting thing about this if you talk to people who really experienced in

577
00:48:17.040 --> 00:48:22.320
deliverance ministries is that each of these different personalities and paths can take on

578
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:30.080
their own different uh demonic afflictions right so they can each of these different personality

579
00:48:30.640 --> 00:48:37.600
each have their own uh evil spirits in a sense they can all they could be oppressed by different

580
00:48:37.600 --> 00:48:40.640
things so if you talk about talk to people who've been in deliverance for a long time

581
00:48:40.640 --> 00:48:46.560
you'll find that sometimes they cast the same spirit out of someone five different times

582
00:48:46.560 --> 00:48:50.080
now what's going on here it's not that it's gone back it's actually that a different part

583
00:48:50.720 --> 00:48:57.360
is surfacing a different part is coming to the forefront of this person and that different part

584
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:02.960
is some of the same demonic affliction that they dealt with in another different path i hope this

585
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:08.240
is making sense right it's pretty dynamic but that's why jesus was talking about the shattered

586
00:49:08.240 --> 00:49:18.720
minds now because he's like this is why i've come i've come to uh i've come to bind up the shattered

587
00:49:18.720 --> 00:49:26.240
minds and you'll find as well now if someone's been through ritualistic satanic abuse which is

588
00:49:26.240 --> 00:49:33.920
actually way more common than you would think ritualistic satanic abuse or rsa is designed

589
00:49:34.640 --> 00:49:40.160
like the whole the whole mindset behind it is that it's designed to shatter people's minds

590
00:49:40.160 --> 00:49:45.680
it's designed to create different paths it's designed to create multiple personality disorders

591
00:49:45.680 --> 00:49:50.640
so if you if you see people who've been through this type of ritualistic abuse you'll find that

592
00:49:50.640 --> 00:49:57.760
they've got multiple parts as a real key thing for it now what we don't often realize in ourselves

593
00:49:57.760 --> 00:49:59.840
is that we can you know we can have that in our

594
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.120
You know, there's a lot of my students that I've worked with in the past that had these

595
00:50:06.120 --> 00:50:07.120
different paths.

596
00:50:07.120 --> 00:50:12.320
You know, it could be trauma, oftentimes it's abuse, sexual abuse, that will shatter.

597
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:16.160
And so, you know, sometimes we'll be praying for someone and, you know, talking to someone

598
00:50:16.160 --> 00:50:18.000
and say, you know, who am I talking to right now?

599
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:24.480
And they'll actually go, they will step into that path, in a sense, they'll present that

600
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:29.440
path, and they will be, all of their characteristics will become a four year old girl, they're

601
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:35.120
fully personifying a four year old girl, everything about them is now trapped in this

602
00:50:35.120 --> 00:50:39.880
path as a four year old girl, and yet you have to relate to them and get them free as

603
00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:40.880
that path.

604
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:47.680
So taking captive every thought and making it obedient to Christ, this and the shattered

605
00:50:47.680 --> 00:50:54.000
minds, this is the process of deep repentance, because oftentimes, repentance is quite shallow,

606
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:59.280
and remember, we've talked about the conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind.

607
00:51:00.080 --> 00:51:09.040
Majority of the time, when we deal with repentance, it's in the conscious level, right?

608
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:17.760
A Bible study, and things like that, you know, church, often in church, we usually only go

609
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:20.240
as deep as the conscious mind.

610
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:27.360
And I wouldn't say all churches only go that way, but it takes something really significant

611
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:33.280
to shift someone's belief at a subconscious, unconscious level.

612
00:51:35.680 --> 00:51:37.520
What about, what about dreams?

613
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:39.120
Bad dreams?

614
00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:42.720
I mean, I dream more bad dreams than good dreams.

615
00:51:43.680 --> 00:51:49.200
Yeah, well, I would, and I wake up and I pray against it, I say, leave me or whatever, I'll

616
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:51.120
wake up, why am I even thinking this?

617
00:51:52.240 --> 00:51:58.880
Yeah, yeah, now, there'd be two parts to that, that I would look into.

618
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:05.680
One, I'd be wanting to clarify if that is an external source, you know, I talked about

619
00:52:05.680 --> 00:52:07.680
before the return to sender.

620
00:52:10.080 --> 00:52:15.120
So I'd be, there's two things that I, every person's going to have to take something like

621
00:52:16.080 --> 00:52:19.360
that, you're going to have to take that to the Lord and get real clarity.

622
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:24.080
But there'd be, from my perspective, there'd probably be two options on what's going on

623
00:52:24.080 --> 00:52:24.320
there.

624
00:52:25.680 --> 00:52:26.960
And you'll have to get clarity on this.

625
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:31.600
But it could be that Satan's just bringing an attack from the outside and trying to just

626
00:52:31.600 --> 00:52:34.960
bring accusation, trying to infiltrate your imagination.

627
00:52:35.520 --> 00:52:38.320
And so this is where we have to kind of really take it to the Lord.

628
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:45.120
So Lord, is there a root in me that's producing this or is this an external attack?

629
00:52:47.200 --> 00:52:51.760
I kind of think it's external more than anything.

630
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:59.360
I think that the more that I'm involved, the more that I read the word, the more that I

631
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:00.160
get attacked.

632
00:53:01.120 --> 00:53:01.280
Right.

633
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:08.720
Well, if you come to the place that, let me just share two possible scenarios of what

634
00:53:08.720 --> 00:53:10.080
I would do.

635
00:53:10.080 --> 00:53:15.200
So if I was in your place and I came to the conclusion, well, this is an external attack,

636
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:18.400
then I would basically ignore it.

637
00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:21.280
I'd be like, return to sender, that's got nothing to do with me.

638
00:53:22.240 --> 00:53:23.520
I definitely wouldn't repent from it.

639
00:53:23.520 --> 00:53:25.200
All I would do is like, wow.

640
00:53:27.520 --> 00:53:28.560
I wake up.

641
00:53:29.040 --> 00:53:29.680
I wake up.

642
00:53:30.640 --> 00:53:35.280
We're talking about a dream here that I wake up from and I'll say, why did I have that

643
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:35.760
thought?

644
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:36.000
Why?

645
00:53:36.640 --> 00:53:37.680
You know what I'm saying?

646
00:53:37.680 --> 00:53:45.360
It's not, I wake up from it and I'm like, let me just try and try and get to the key

647
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:50.560
here is if you think it's an external thing and it's an attack, then I wouldn't ask the

648
00:53:50.560 --> 00:53:52.560
question, why did I have this dream?

649
00:53:53.520 --> 00:53:53.840
Right.

650
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:58.480
Because what you're doing and asking that question is you're starting to take ownership

651
00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:03.600
and it plants a root in you that makes you think there's something wrong with me that

652
00:54:03.600 --> 00:54:04.560
I had this dream.

653
00:54:05.600 --> 00:54:06.080
Right.

654
00:54:06.080 --> 00:54:10.240
But if it's an attack, then you want to make sure that you take no ownership for it.

655
00:54:10.240 --> 00:54:12.160
And you say, I break all agreement.

656
00:54:12.160 --> 00:54:16.960
So I always start with, I break all agreement with this and I just return that to sender.

657
00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:19.280
I have no participation in that.

658
00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:20.160
That's not mine.

659
00:54:20.160 --> 00:54:21.600
I return that to sender.

660
00:54:21.680 --> 00:54:23.040
I break all agreement with it.

661
00:54:24.160 --> 00:54:29.840
I'd only ever repent of something if I was completely convinced that I was believing

662
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:34.880
a lie about it or there was an issue in me, because what Satan wants us to do is try and

663
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:37.200
start repenting of something that's not our issue.

664
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:39.600
And it's impossible to do that.

665
00:54:39.600 --> 00:54:40.640
So we'll never win.

666
00:54:40.640 --> 00:54:43.040
You know, we'll fail in that quest.

667
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:49.760
And a lot of times I found myself failing, trying to repent of something and failing

668
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:52.880
miserably because it wasn't something I needed to repent of.

669
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:57.200
I'd just been tricked by the enemy that there was something wrong with me when there wasn't.

670
00:54:57.200 --> 00:54:59.840
And so I was fighting phantoms in my.

671
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.800
prayer life. So that's where I would say, if it's something that you perceive as an external attack,

672
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:13.360
then just be like, God, I break all agreement with this and I wash my hands of it and that's it.

673
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:17.840
I wouldn't take it any further. I would just ignore it. So that's got nothing to do with me.

674
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:20.320
It's not my mail.

675
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:31.600
So what started to happen though, in a sense, if there's a weakness, then Satan tries to exploit

676
00:55:31.600 --> 00:55:37.920
it. And once I stopped repenting of things that weren't my junk, he stopped throwing it out there

677
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:43.520
as much. When he had me hooked on that trick, he used to just keep getting me all the time.

678
00:55:43.520 --> 00:55:48.640
But once I caught up to what he was doing and I stopped taking his bait, he realized,

679
00:55:48.880 --> 00:55:55.360
this is a waste of my time. So it only happens occasionally now, as opposed to being all the time.

680
00:55:59.120 --> 00:56:05.760
But then, if I did come to the conclusion, as I saw God as an icon, there's something in me,

681
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:11.040
then I'd be like, God, let's deal with this. Show me the root cause, what's going on here.

682
00:56:11.040 --> 00:56:16.800
And I'd be listening out to him for that. So if we get into this

683
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:25.360
conscious, subconscious, unconscious stuff, this is, and I'm going to read this

684
00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:29.280
verse to you again. I'm just going to pull this up for you.

685
00:56:41.040 --> 00:56:47.280
2 Corinthians 10, verse 5.

686
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:57.440
This is the take captive every thought. So it says, we demolish arguments and every pretension

687
00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:03.840
that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. And we take captive every thought to make it

688
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:11.760
obedient to Christ. Now, we can read that and it can just kind of be like a super simple thing,

689
00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:18.800
not realizing how deep that is. That is talking about the process of engaging with every thought

690
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:24.480
that you've ever had, turning over every stone in your heart and your mind and searching out

691
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:29.200
your entire body, soul and spirit to see if there's anywhere where there's a trace of a lie

692
00:57:29.200 --> 00:57:35.120
or a trace of ignorance, where there's a lie or there's a lack of revelation. Because

693
00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:40.640
Hosea says that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. So even the fact that there's

694
00:57:40.640 --> 00:57:46.320
something that you don't know, you can still suffer from, you know, Satan doesn't care that

695
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:53.680
you don't know, you'll still suffer. So it's like this, okay, God, take me, take me deeper, deeper,

696
00:57:53.680 --> 00:58:08.800
deeper. Leave no stone unturned in me. So 2 Corinthians 10 5, again, we take captive

697
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:21.200
every thought to make it obedient to Christ. It's deep, right? That's all of your past,

698
00:58:21.200 --> 00:58:25.760
every piece of information that you've ever collected and brought together is stored in

699
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:32.000
your mind, your conscious, your subconscious and your unconscious. So deep repentance is about

700
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:38.640
getting to the very core and shifting those things around. But one of the things that we

701
00:58:38.640 --> 00:58:46.160
talked about that we've been focusing on with the Daily Hard Things Challenge, I'm going to

702
00:58:46.160 --> 00:58:52.560
wrap this session up shortly, but I'm going to give you some challenge this week, okay? I'm going

703
00:58:52.560 --> 00:59:00.080
to give you some homework to take away from this one this week, that's about enabling you to start

704
00:59:00.720 --> 00:59:06.000
shifting the deeper things in your conscious, subconscious and unconscious, right? I want you

705
00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:12.720
to start connecting with those deeper levels of conscious and, you know, going right into the

706
00:59:12.720 --> 00:59:16.800
very core of your unconscious and subconscious. I'm going to give you some homework that actually

707
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:22.880
will start shifting and moving those things at the deeper, at the deeper level.

708
00:59:26.640 --> 00:59:28.960
I forgot what I was, I forgot what I was just saying there.

709
00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:41.840
We were talking about Shabbat, Shattered Minds, 2 Corinthians 10 5, taking captive every thought.

710
00:59:43.200 --> 00:59:47.920
So we'll just, I think I had, I had a thought of something I was going to touch on, but we'll just

711
00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:57.200
stay on this track. We have to be able to figure out how we're going to connect into

712
00:59:57.200 --> 00:59:59.840
to that deeper level, because we're so used to

713
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.720
always just operating out of our conscious mind.

714
01:00:02.720 --> 01:00:04.320
So we have to shift things in the spirit.

715
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:05.440
Oh, that's what I was talking about,

716
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:07.720
is the daily hard things challenge.

717
01:00:07.720 --> 01:00:10.240
What that so much of that has been about

718
01:00:10.240 --> 01:00:12.640
is about preparing the soil.

719
01:00:12.640 --> 01:00:15.760
Remember the parable of the sower, right?

720
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:19.360
What people don't often realize in the parable of the sower

721
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:23.440
is that the ground, the soil represents your mind.

722
01:00:25.160 --> 01:00:29.400
The soil represents your conscious, subconscious

723
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:30.960
and unconscious.

724
01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:36.320
That's one of the keys to the parable of the sower

725
01:00:36.320 --> 01:00:40.160
is that the divine life,

726
01:00:41.560 --> 01:00:43.520
there's nothing wrong with the seed in that parable.

727
01:00:43.520 --> 01:00:44.360
You remember that parable, don't you?

728
01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:46.800
Where Jesus talks about the parable of the sower.

729
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:51.680
He's scattering seed and the seed, some hits rocky ground.

730
01:00:51.680 --> 01:00:53.680
You know, some goes on the path and the bird snatched up,

731
01:00:53.680 --> 01:00:56.400
some hit rocky ground, it doesn't grow very well.

732
01:00:56.600 --> 01:00:59.640
Some hits that rocky ground where it springs up real quick

733
01:00:59.640 --> 01:01:01.320
and then withers because it has no root.

734
01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:04.120
Some goes where there's weeds

735
01:01:04.120 --> 01:01:06.520
and the weeds grow up and kill it.

736
01:01:06.520 --> 01:01:08.920
And there's only some good soil.

737
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:13.440
So we see that good soil that the seed only comes to life

738
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:15.320
and bears fruit in the good soil.

739
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:18.240
Now the seed is the seed of the gospel

740
01:01:18.240 --> 01:01:20.600
and the fruit is the fruit of the divine life.

741
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:23.720
But in every case,

742
01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:26.080
was there ever anything wrong with the seed?

743
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:31.720
That's one of the keys to this whole dynamic

744
01:01:31.720 --> 01:01:34.400
of the parable of the sower is the seed.

745
01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:36.120
There was never a problem with the seed.

746
01:01:36.120 --> 01:01:37.240
And Jesus is telling us

747
01:01:37.240 --> 01:01:39.880
there's never a problem with the seed.

748
01:01:39.880 --> 01:01:41.280
You know, the seed,

749
01:01:42.240 --> 01:01:43.640
and this is how it's really a moment

750
01:01:43.640 --> 01:01:44.840
of extreme ownership for us

751
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:47.880
because there's nothing wrong with the seed of the gospel.

752
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:49.280
Right, the seed of the gospel,

753
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:51.840
if the seed of the gospel goes into good soil,

754
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:55.160
it will always produce the fruit of the divine life.

755
01:01:55.160 --> 01:01:57.000
And the divine life looks like

756
01:01:57.000 --> 01:01:59.240
the exact same state of being as God.

757
01:02:00.520 --> 01:02:03.520
So the only thing that changes in the equation

758
01:02:03.520 --> 01:02:06.680
in terms of you and I is the quality of the soil.

759
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:10.480
And the quality of the soil directly relates

760
01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:15.120
to the quality of the beliefs that are stored

761
01:02:15.120 --> 01:02:19.240
in our conscious, subconscious, and unconscious minds.

762
01:02:19.240 --> 01:02:21.760
So what we need to do more than anything else

763
01:02:22.560 --> 01:02:24.000
is take care of the soil.

764
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:27.840
So the activation tool that I gave you today

765
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:29.120
for cleansing the imagination,

766
01:02:29.120 --> 01:02:30.640
it's like a plow,

767
01:02:30.640 --> 01:02:35.080
that you can use that plow to take care of the soil

768
01:02:35.080 --> 01:02:36.360
of your own mind.

769
01:02:45.040 --> 01:02:48.520
So essentially, we wanna get rid of the weeds.

770
01:02:49.520 --> 01:02:51.120
The weeds is one thing.

771
01:02:53.600 --> 01:02:56.040
Yeah, there's a lot of things going on there, isn't there?

772
01:02:56.040 --> 01:02:59.240
There's hardness of heart where nothing's growing.

773
01:02:59.240 --> 01:03:00.560
There's weeds.

774
01:03:01.680 --> 01:03:05.720
There's the rocky soil where it's just shallow.

775
01:03:08.240 --> 01:03:09.360
And then there's the good soil.

776
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:12.120
So yes, for us, if we're taking care of the soil,

777
01:03:12.120 --> 01:03:13.240
we wanna take care of everything.

778
01:03:13.240 --> 01:03:16.720
You've got birds that are coming to steal the seed.

779
01:03:16.720 --> 01:03:17.960
You've got weeds.

780
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:19.760
You've got rocky grounds.

781
01:03:19.760 --> 01:03:21.920
So you've got to, as a farmer,

782
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:25.120
as a person who's trying to turn your mind into a garden,

783
01:03:25.120 --> 01:03:27.520
your imagination to a garden,

784
01:03:27.520 --> 01:03:31.400
that's a resting place for you and the Trinity,

785
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:34.000
a resting place where you share and experience

786
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:35.840
the divine dance with the Trinity.

787
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:38.320
You're a gardener, that's what you're doing.

788
01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:40.880
So a huge part of being a gardener

789
01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:43.400
is taking care of the soil.

790
01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:46.080
So the homework that I'm gonna give you is,

791
01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:48.240
first of all, hopefully you are participating

792
01:03:48.240 --> 01:03:50.640
in the Daily Hard Things Challenge,

793
01:03:50.640 --> 01:03:54.280
because a big part of the Daily Hard Things Challenge

794
01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:56.680
is about preparing the soil.

795
01:03:58.280 --> 01:04:03.280
This is where we so often miss in our discipleship.

796
01:04:04.160 --> 01:04:06.240
We think that so much of discipleship

797
01:04:06.240 --> 01:04:10.200
is about trying to do good teaching.

798
01:04:10.360 --> 01:04:12.880
Trying to do good teaching,

799
01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:18.560
as opposed to people taking care of the soil

800
01:04:18.560 --> 01:04:19.680
in their own hearts.

801
01:04:21.520 --> 01:04:23.960
If you've got great soil,

802
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:26.120
the teaching that you receive can be average

803
01:04:26.120 --> 01:04:28.080
and will still produce the divine life.

804
01:04:28.080 --> 01:04:30.920
So it's actually more related to the soil than the seed.

805
01:04:32.080 --> 01:04:35.760
Now, you can guarantee that the seed is always present.

806
01:04:35.760 --> 01:04:37.240
The seed is always active.

807
01:04:37.240 --> 01:04:40.320
The seed of the gospel is ready to go.

808
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:42.760
It's the quality of the soil,

809
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:44.960
the quality of our hearts and minds, that's the trick.

810
01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:47.400
So here's the homework that I'm gonna give,

811
01:04:47.400 --> 01:04:50.840
and then we're gonna wrap it up for today.

812
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:53.120
But in the Daily Hard Things Challenge,

813
01:04:53.120 --> 01:04:56.320
we've been praying in the spirit five minutes a day.

814
01:04:57.600 --> 01:05:00.200
I would like to put a challenge out there.

815
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:07.320
but I'd like to put a challenge out there to you all to at some point in this next week

816
01:05:07.320 --> 01:05:10.240
spend one hour praying in the Spirit.

817
01:05:10.240 --> 01:05:18.640
You know, dedicate an hour, set aside one hour to pray and just spend the whole hour

818
01:05:18.640 --> 01:05:21.920
praying in the Spirit.

819
01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:27.720
And the reason is because praying in the Spirit is deep unto deep, right?

820
01:05:27.720 --> 01:05:32.040
Praying in the Spirit, if you start praying in the Spirit for an hour, it will, it's like

821
01:05:32.040 --> 01:05:36.240
a, it's again, it's like a hoe, it's going to go deep into that soil, it's going to churn

822
01:05:36.240 --> 01:05:37.240
it up.

823
01:05:37.240 --> 01:05:42.360
And here's the three things that I noticed that start happening when you start intensely

824
01:05:42.360 --> 01:05:43.360
praying in the Spirit.

825
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:53.160
The first thing that I noticed is conviction starts coming, because if you, you want to

826
01:05:53.160 --> 01:05:56.800
be praying in the Spirit like a gardener, right, the gardener's really concerned for

827
01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:01.400
the quality of the soil, like, okay, Jesus, I want the divine life here, I want my imagination

828
01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:07.240
to be a garden that's a resting place for us, so Jesus, what I want to do is I really

829
01:06:07.240 --> 01:06:12.360
want you to search me out, and I'd be encouraging you to pray your version of this prayer, which

830
01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:15.040
is leave no stone unturned in me.

831
01:06:15.040 --> 01:06:20.440
It becomes quite a radical prayer when you say, okay, God, leave no stone unturned in

832
01:06:20.440 --> 01:06:21.440
me.

833
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:26.040
And you kind of, you can expect a bit of mess when you start praying like this, because

834
01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:30.480
if there's a, if there's a wound, he'll start messing with it.

835
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:35.480
If there's a lie you're believing, if there's a relationship that's in chaos, if there's

836
01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:41.760
a mess, if there's offense, if there's, you know, like, sin in your life, he's going to

837
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:45.960
start messing with it when you start praying these prayers, but the fruit will be worth

838
01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:46.960
it.

839
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.240
So, first thing I want to encourage you to do as homeworkers, you come up with your own

840
01:06:50.240 --> 01:06:56.000
version of this prayer, which is God, leave no stone unturned in me, search me out.

841
01:06:56.960 --> 01:06:57.960
God, leave no stone unturned.

842
01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:03.360
And then the second part of your homework is sometime between now and next week, because

843
01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:09.080
we'll have this session again next week, same time, is spend a dedicated hour praying in

844
01:07:09.080 --> 01:07:10.080
the spirit.

845
01:07:12.520 --> 01:07:17.840
Now, I've got no idea how many times I've done that, spend an hour praying in the spirit

846
01:07:17.840 --> 01:07:22.160
or two hours or three hours praying in the spirit, but what you find is one of the first

847
01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:26.720
things that happens is if there's anything that's out of alignment in your life and you

848
01:07:26.720 --> 01:07:32.240
start stepping into a season of intentionally pursuing God like this, one of the first things

849
01:07:32.240 --> 01:07:35.040
you'll find is conviction will just hit you like a freight train.

850
01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:43.760
And it's glorious and uncomfortable and hard and difficult and awkward and challenging

851
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:52.000
and often unpleasant, but it's always going to produce life and produce growth and

852
01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:53.280
produce transformation.

853
01:07:54.680 --> 01:07:59.120
This is probably one of the reasons why people often avoid going to this depth with God,

854
01:07:59.120 --> 01:08:00.760
because it gets really uncomfortable.

855
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:04.480
He's going to look at your secret sins and go, oh yeah, some of these are a mess.

856
01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:09.320
He's going to, and now he'll do it in his own gentle, beautiful way where he doesn't do

857
01:08:09.320 --> 01:08:16.960
everything all at one time, but where he does things, you know, just so beautifully and so

858
01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:22.880
tenderly with us and in such a beautiful way where he's like, oh no, we can deal with this

859
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:25.120
one right now. We can deal with this right now.

860
01:08:25.120 --> 01:08:30.200
So he's gentle and he's tender in the process, but then sometimes he puts his finger on

861
01:08:30.200 --> 01:08:32.600
something and says, we've got to deal with this right now.

862
01:08:34.040 --> 01:08:39.680
So there is this kind of like, I don't know, it's almost like a brutal tenderness where he's

863
01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:44.040
like, I don't want you to continue living in this dysfunction.

864
01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:47.359
And he calls us out. So this first phase is conviction.

865
01:08:47.840 --> 01:08:51.399
Then the next phase that I've found is revelation.

866
01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:55.640
Does it help bring revelation on why this is an issue?

867
01:08:56.760 --> 01:09:00.960
You're like, OK, why this is an issue, you know, why you need to deal with it.

868
01:09:01.160 --> 01:09:05.040
And then the third phase is edification, the strength to actually deal with it.

869
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:10.080
Now, if you go through that and you actually deal with that stuff, you know, that's a

870
01:09:10.120 --> 01:09:13.760
limited, finite amount of things that you're going to get convicted about or they're

871
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:14.840
going to have to tidy up.

872
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:20.439
So what happens once you've kind of finished that tidy up side of things and you've

873
01:09:20.439 --> 01:09:25.080
finished decluttering the warehouse of your imagination, then really what starts to

874
01:09:25.080 --> 01:09:28.840
happen is you just start stepping into this place of revelation and edification.

875
01:09:29.240 --> 01:09:31.920
You don't have tidying, you don't have to tidy the warehouse anymore.

876
01:09:31.920 --> 01:09:37.040
It's kind of like you get to plant gardens and do beautiful stuff in the garden.

877
01:09:37.080 --> 01:09:40.760
So. How does that sound?

878
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:44.640
Any questions? We're going to wrap it up in a few minutes, but we'll just open it up for

879
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:46.399
any questions or feedback.

880
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:53.040
I'm watching the Facebook comments here as well.

881
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:08.360
Benji, I was just wondering, I mean this isn't for myself, but I'm just wondering, like what

882
01:10:08.360 --> 01:10:16.160
do people do when they don't pray in the spirit, like, or they don't know how, or it's been,

883
01:10:16.160 --> 01:10:21.880
I don't know, maybe I'm just reading into something like there seems to be like an assumption

884
01:10:21.880 --> 01:10:29.120
that this is what people do on here, and I'm just wondering about people who don't or don't

885
01:10:29.120 --> 01:10:32.040
know how, or this is new to them.

886
01:10:32.040 --> 01:10:40.080
Yeah, totally, so I would just find out how to pray in the spirit.

887
01:10:40.080 --> 01:10:46.000
I would rather, I don't want to create, I don't want to create an easy way out for people.

888
01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:50.160
If they're in this, if they're in the Online School of Sonship, and they don't know how

889
01:10:50.160 --> 01:10:55.680
to pray in the spirit, then ask, we'll do a session on it, every time I've asked so

890
01:10:55.760 --> 01:11:01.760
far, everyone has said, yeah, that's, I'm all good with that, so if anyone's like, hey,

891
01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:05.840
I don't know about praying in the spirit, then always ask, we'll always, we're always

892
01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:10.800
gracious, we'd love to do training on that, but put it in your heart that you want to

893
01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:17.920
know, and then do whatever it takes to get it, because that is going to be one of your

894
01:11:17.920 --> 01:11:20.720
greatest resources for transformation.

895
01:11:21.280 --> 01:11:33.280
Yeah, it's not the only thing, but it is beyond words beneficial, beyond words beneficial

896
01:11:33.280 --> 01:11:35.280
to do that.

897
01:11:35.280 --> 01:11:40.240
There's not many things that, here's one of the reasons, right, is because nearly everything

898
01:11:40.240 --> 01:11:42.800
else operates out of the conscious mind.

899
01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:47.200
Praying in the spirit doesn't operate out of the conscious mind, it operates deeper,

900
01:11:48.160 --> 01:11:52.160
it comes from the spirit, which actually, the spirit is deep, the spirit kind of like,

901
01:11:53.760 --> 01:11:59.760
wrong, it revolves and operates in this unconscious subconscious realm, so it's kind of like

902
01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:03.360
when you start praying in the spirit, especially for an extended period of time, it's like

903
01:12:03.360 --> 01:12:08.480
you start, it's deep, pulling out to deep, it starts breaking up the hard ground in the

904
01:12:08.480 --> 01:12:12.160
deep part of us, I don't know how to explain that better than it's deep pulling out to

905
01:12:12.160 --> 01:12:18.240
deep, and it's like it breaks up the hard ground on the inside of us, and it stirs stuff

906
01:12:18.240 --> 01:12:19.600
up and breaks stuff up.

907
01:12:21.280 --> 01:12:26.480
So that's not a very good explanation for it, but that's what I would suggest.

908
01:12:26.480 --> 01:12:30.080
I mean, everything's going to be good, you know, read the Bible more and things like

909
01:12:30.080 --> 01:12:35.520
that, but one of the key differences is that it doesn't operate out of the conscious mind,

910
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:42.880
operates from the spirit, and therefore it kind of gets this unconscious subconscious

911
01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:45.040
activation happening.

912
01:12:50.240 --> 01:12:54.880
Cool, all right team, anything that you've taken away from today that you're like,

913
01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:58.880
that was a really good point, I'm happy I tuned into that.

914
01:12:59.360 --> 01:13:04.000
Rachel is watching online and she said, I started praying those sorts of prayers,

915
01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.800
Leave No Stone Unturned about four years ago, and I can testify it is well worth it.

916
01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:14.640
Healing happened and acceleration happened and fruit, fruit, fruit, how good is that?

917
01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:18.080
It's a dangerous prayer, but a beautiful prayer.

918
01:13:18.080 --> 01:13:19.600
Thank you so much, Rachel.

919
01:13:20.400 --> 01:13:26.240
Great to have Tina and Lisa, thank you so much for joining us today.

920
01:13:26.240 --> 01:13:36.960
Great to have Tina and Lisa all online, beautiful, and all the others who are online as well.

921
01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:39.760
Wonderful to have you together, and Dorcas, hi.

922
01:13:42.400 --> 01:13:45.840
How about, so whether you're on Facebook or whether you're here in the Zoom, why don't

923
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:50.400
you just share one thing that's a good takeaway that you felt like, yeah, that was a good

924
01:13:50.400 --> 01:13:52.320
thing I picked up from today.

925
01:13:56.800 --> 01:14:08.080
I thought the practical application for it was good.

926
01:14:10.320 --> 01:14:18.320
Visualizing the, you know, the image on the cross and covering it with the blood, and

927
01:14:19.520 --> 01:14:20.960
yeah, that was good.

928
01:14:21.360 --> 01:14:21.920
Excellent.

929
01:14:23.120 --> 01:14:23.680
Lorraine?

930
01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:28.960
I think it's really important what you said to be intentional, you know, sometimes we

931
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:33.680
just do things like just going through the motions, but you know, to be really focused

932
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:37.840
and intentional is that, you know, I really want this.

933
01:14:39.280 --> 01:14:40.800
Yeah, beautiful, beautiful.

934
01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:44.320
I'd say something like that's one of the things about with tongues as well, because

935
01:14:44.320 --> 01:14:49.280
tongues doesn't operate out of the cognitive, conscious mind, you can, there's different

936
01:14:50.240 --> 01:14:51.520
ways that you can pray in tongues.

937
01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:56.240
You can pray in tongues while you're making your lunch or whatever, but if you set aside

938
01:14:56.240 --> 01:14:59.760
an hour and you really dedicate that to praying in the spirit and really going,

939
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:06.720
like really flowing with the spirit when you're praying, you'll find that not all praying in

940
01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:12.080
tongues is alike, not all praying in tongues produces the same fruit. Praying in tongues

941
01:15:12.080 --> 01:15:17.280
when you're not engaged with the fact that you're praying in tongues won't produce as much fruit as

942
01:15:17.280 --> 01:15:22.480
if you dedicate some time out, like you said, being intentional, praying in the spirit and

943
01:15:22.480 --> 01:15:26.640
flowing in the spirit, you'll find that you'll get way more fruit praying in the spirit like that.

944
01:15:27.360 --> 01:15:30.560
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't pray in the spirit while you're making your lunch,

945
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:36.000
you'll get benefit from that as well, go for it, but you've got to, if you want to see some real

946
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:42.000
deep work start happening in your life, you know, shut yourself away, create that space

947
01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:48.800
where you can really flow as you pray in the spirit. Thank you. Cool, Lorraine, so good to

948
01:15:48.800 --> 01:15:56.960
have you with us, appreciate you jumping in. Now, is it Beth or, I'm not sure if I've got your name

949
01:15:57.520 --> 01:16:07.200
right because it's just the name on Zoom, but it says iPhone Ben Beck, but what,

950
01:16:07.200 --> 01:16:12.240
do you want to unmute and share with us what's happening for you and what a takeaway is for you?

951
01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:30.400
Are you getting it there? Yeah, you can hear me now? Yeah, so how do we say your name correctly?

952
01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:38.560
Well, in Dutch it's Bep with a P at the end and in English it's Beth, that's the end of Elizabeth.

953
01:16:39.200 --> 01:16:44.480
Okay, beautiful, beautiful, well welcome. What's something that you're going to take away from today?

954
01:16:45.280 --> 01:16:51.920
Well, you know, I just came in, it's five o'clock in the morning here now, I came in just

955
01:16:51.920 --> 01:17:00.480
before the questions, Q&A that you started, but I have also been with, just about 10 years ago

956
01:17:00.480 --> 01:17:09.920
with restoring the foundations and there I had a strategy of repenting from lies

957
01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:16.800
and then so I think I can make a beautiful combination at the replay to listen and

958
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:26.560
to combine with I had before what I already practiced. I have quite a list of lies that

959
01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:33.360
I didn't go away yet, so I could just pick up those papers and get to work with it.

960
01:17:34.320 --> 01:17:39.840
Yeah, beautiful, that's very cool, very cool. Barbara is just jumping in from Facebook and

961
01:17:39.840 --> 01:17:45.760
she's saying, I've been taught that because of the finished work of Christ that we were

962
01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:51.600
good soil. In the past I've gotten into such introspection that I was left with such guilt and

963
01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:57.440
shame, but when the Holy Spirit brings conviction it is clean and without shame it brings radical

964
01:17:57.520 --> 01:18:07.040
grace change. Yeah, beautiful. So, I think if you've tracked with us for a while you'll understand

965
01:18:07.040 --> 01:18:14.480
that, you know, like when it comes to an identity statement, you know, I believe that we're perfect

966
01:18:14.480 --> 01:18:19.920
a hundred percent that as our identity we're perfect, right, but there's this dynamic of

967
01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:29.280
almost like diffusion, it seems like our identity is perfect, but there's lies or it's

968
01:18:29.280 --> 01:18:36.960
Romans 8, you know, Romans 8 says all creation is groaning for the unveiling of the sons of God,

969
01:18:37.760 --> 01:18:44.240
but if you imagine that something needs to be veiled, then let me give you an example here,

970
01:18:44.240 --> 01:18:51.760
okay, look, this is my drink bottle, this is my whiteboard cleaner, okay, that is veiled, right,

971
01:18:52.400 --> 01:19:01.760
now it's unveiled, and so for us the prophecies of the unveiling of the sons of God is removing

972
01:19:01.760 --> 01:19:10.160
a lie, you remove the lie, you unveil the sons of God, so every time you remove a lie you reveal

973
01:19:10.160 --> 01:19:16.400
something that's already there, and so for us our mind is the place where those lies go, and so this

974
01:19:16.400 --> 01:19:22.960
process of deep repentance and the cleansing of our imagination is the process of removing the

975
01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:28.800
deep lies, and that's what all creation is groaning out for right now, is that, you know, these deep

976
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:35.280
lies that we've been believing will be removed off us, but in response to Barbara I'd definitely

977
01:19:35.280 --> 01:19:40.960
say as well, you can get into this place where you kind of like turn your whole life into a witch hunt,

978
01:19:40.960 --> 01:19:46.400
and that's definitely not what I'm suggesting, I'm not saying turn your whole life into

979
01:19:46.400 --> 01:19:52.160
a witch hunt, but what I love about the way that God does it is that he does it in his own rhythm,

980
01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:58.240
you know, for me as well, like there's so much that he didn't even put his finger on for years,

981
01:19:58.240 --> 01:19:59.840
there's probably tons that he still

982
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:03.200
hasn't identified a me that he's like, yeah, son, we'll get there.

983
01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:05.320
And so that's one of the reasons as well.

984
01:20:05.320 --> 01:20:09.360
Why I'd encourage praying in the spirit, because when you do it like that

985
01:20:09.360 --> 01:20:11.920
and you say, hey, God, leave no stone unturned.

986
01:20:12.440 --> 01:20:14.520
I would I would put the searching out.

987
01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:17.520
I'd make that his job rather than your own job. Right.

988
01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:20.120
You make that his job to search you out.

989
01:20:20.120 --> 01:20:24.120
You make it his job to refine you and you make it your job to chase him.

990
01:20:30.120 --> 01:20:32.400
Yeah. So, Barbara, thanks for that.

991
01:20:32.400 --> 01:20:33.920
Anyone else want to jump in?

992
01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:35.360
I'm going to sign off otherwise.

993
01:20:35.360 --> 01:20:38.840
But if anyone else wants to jump in and share, then that's awesome.

994
01:20:39.480 --> 01:20:40.840
Barbara, very cool.

995
01:20:40.840 --> 01:20:42.960
That's fantastic. You're welcome.

996
01:20:44.320 --> 01:20:47.120
Yeah. Rachel says he's good and gentle and you can trust him.

997
01:20:47.120 --> 01:20:48.960
Absolutely.

998
01:20:51.080 --> 01:20:53.440
Last chance, if anyone wants to say anything,

999
01:20:53.440 --> 01:20:54.960
otherwise we're going to wrap it up for today.

1000
01:20:54.960 --> 01:20:59.760
I'm going to ask a question.

1001
01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:03.240
Yeah, yeah. I know that I know of

1002
01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:08.160
at least two people in my life, my past life here,

1003
01:21:08.360 --> 01:21:12.520
that that I've seen God use powerfully and have

1004
01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:19.640
physically felt the Holy Spirit on them.

1005
01:21:20.160 --> 01:21:23.040
You know, when I don't know if you've experienced this or not, but

1006
01:21:25.000 --> 01:21:29.440
when a person is praying for another person, there's a wall around them.

1007
01:21:29.440 --> 01:21:31.520
Do you know what I'm talking about?

1008
01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:33.800
There's a wall around them.

1009
01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:35.800
It's like a circle that goes around him or.

1010
01:21:38.360 --> 01:21:40.080
Do you get where I'm coming from here?

1011
01:21:40.080 --> 01:21:43.440
I think I just I missed a little bit of what you see, sir.

1012
01:21:43.440 --> 01:21:44.920
Can you just repeat it? Sorry about that.

1013
01:21:44.920 --> 01:21:47.360
I just like it cut out or something. I didn't quite hear.

1014
01:21:48.240 --> 01:21:53.120
OK, I know of two people in my life that I've seen God use.

1015
01:21:53.120 --> 01:21:56.320
OK, and I'll just put it this way.

1016
01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:58.760
I knew these people. OK.

1017
01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:01.480
And, you know,

1018
01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:04.840
how the expression goes that

1019
01:22:04.840 --> 01:22:08.120
like people go to church on Sunday and then when they're out of church,

1020
01:22:08.120 --> 01:22:10.560
they're entirely different people.

1021
01:22:10.560 --> 01:22:15.840
OK, so and I felt the Holy Spirit is so strong

1022
01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:20.000
and then that I could not lift my own arms physically to pray for them.

1023
01:22:20.760 --> 01:22:22.840
What do you think about that situation?

1024
01:22:25.600 --> 01:22:27.400
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty, pretty common.

1025
01:22:27.400 --> 01:22:30.960
That's one of the meanings of the word glory is the word Kabbalah.

1026
01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:32.200
It means a white presence.

1027
01:22:32.200 --> 01:22:35.680
So it's really common that the way the presence of God

1028
01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:39.280
will come on you in one way or another and mobilize you in a sense.

1029
01:22:39.280 --> 01:22:41.480
So that's pretty, pretty normal.

1030
01:22:43.280 --> 01:22:44.960
That's normal.

1031
01:22:45.320 --> 01:22:48.800
I mean, yeah, it is pretty normal, especially if you're hanging around

1032
01:22:48.840 --> 01:22:49.800
the Holy Spirit a lot.

1033
01:22:49.800 --> 01:22:51.320
He will immobilize.

1034
01:22:51.320 --> 01:22:54.920
That's the meaning of the word glory, which is one of the words for his presence

1035
01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:56.440
is the weighty presence.

1036
01:22:56.440 --> 01:22:58.880
So the Hebrew word Kabbalah

1037
01:22:58.880 --> 01:23:01.200
used in the Old Testament a lot.

1038
01:23:01.200 --> 01:23:02.560
It means the weighty presence.

1039
01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:04.000
You even see it in the Old Testament.

1040
01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:06.280
We, you know, Solomon's temple was dedicated.

1041
01:23:06.760 --> 01:23:10.000
You know, they couldn't stand to minister in the temple.

1042
01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:12.800
No one could stand because of the glory, the weighty presence.

1043
01:23:12.800 --> 01:23:16.160
Everyone was, in a sense, immobilized by the weight of his glory.

1044
01:23:17.160 --> 01:23:20.120
So, yeah, it happens a lot around the Holy Spirit.

1045
01:23:21.920 --> 01:23:24.000
OK. All right.

1046
01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:27.000
I want to. Yeah, I love it.

1047
01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:28.760
I love it. This presence is awesome.

1048
01:23:29.440 --> 01:23:30.640
And we want more of that.

1049
01:23:32.160 --> 01:23:34.640
OK. All right.

1050
01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:36.600
Thank you. Hey, welcome, Paul.

1051
01:23:36.600 --> 01:23:37.920
Lorraine, why don't you?

1052
01:23:37.920 --> 01:23:40.760
I just feel like it'd be great if you prayed for us to wrap up today.

1053
01:23:40.800 --> 01:23:43.000
Ramella, great to have you with us as well.

1054
01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:45.440
And thanks, everyone, for joining.

1055
01:23:46.280 --> 01:23:48.680
We'll let you pray your own and then we'll sign off.

1056
01:23:51.080 --> 01:23:53.400
Thank you, Father, for this time that we can gather.

1057
01:23:53.400 --> 01:23:57.920
You gather us from all over the world at a at a time where

1058
01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:04.040
we are we are learning and and wanting to just

1059
01:24:05.160 --> 01:24:07.760
enter more into your presence and

1060
01:24:08.480 --> 01:24:13.320
enter more into your presence and have and to be able to build that garden

1061
01:24:13.320 --> 01:24:17.760
and and just be more productive as

1062
01:24:18.480 --> 01:24:20.400
in our lives in every way.

1063
01:24:20.400 --> 01:24:25.040
And as we turn into you and allow you to do your deep work,

1064
01:24:25.400 --> 01:24:27.200
we can then be able to

1065
01:24:28.680 --> 01:24:33.160
turn around and be your hands and feet in the places that you send us

1066
01:24:33.840 --> 01:24:37.400
and take us and people you put in front of us

1067
01:24:37.400 --> 01:24:42.520
so that as your word goes out, that we can become part of that word

1068
01:24:42.520 --> 01:24:44.720
because it will not return to you.

1069
01:24:45.720 --> 01:24:49.880
So I bless these people that are here and that you will give us

1070
01:24:49.880 --> 01:24:52.640
full understanding and reveal more to us.

1071
01:24:52.640 --> 01:24:56.120
And as we do this this next week, that we will

1072
01:24:56.960 --> 01:24:59.600
just encounter what you have.

1073
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:05.000
for each one of us, just because you are so specific

1074
01:25:06.480 --> 01:25:09.400
with each one of us and you work with us

1075
01:25:09.400 --> 01:25:11.120
in the ways that we understand.

1076
01:25:11.120 --> 01:25:13.920
And I thank you that you do that for us

1077
01:25:13.920 --> 01:25:16.400
and that we are just not a cookie cutter,

1078
01:25:16.400 --> 01:25:21.400
but that you are just so personal with us.

1079
01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:25.760
And I praise you, I thank you and bless your name, ma'am.

1080
01:25:26.760 --> 01:25:27.600
Amen.

1081
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:29.560
Thanks everyone, love you.

1082
01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:31.160
And we'll catch you all again soon.

1083
01:25:31.160 --> 01:25:35.400
I'll be live, you might see me,

1084
01:25:35.400 --> 01:25:37.280
I'm live in the mornings this week as well,

1085
01:25:37.280 --> 01:25:40.480
doing the automated income training

1086
01:25:40.480 --> 01:25:43.040
because we're giving away kingdom businesses this week,

1087
01:25:43.040 --> 01:25:44.400
which is actually crazy cool

1088
01:25:44.400 --> 01:25:46.720
because they're worth over $10,000

1089
01:25:46.720 --> 01:25:48.880
and I'm showing people how to use them,

1090
01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:50.880
giving them away, so that's really fun.

1091
01:25:52.040 --> 01:25:53.120
So that's happening at the end of the week.

1092
01:25:53.120 --> 01:25:54.600
So if you're wanting to follow along with that,

1093
01:25:54.760 --> 01:25:59.000
you can, and then Alana and I are live again Friday

1094
01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:00.760
with the Seven Sacred Pathways

1095
01:26:00.760 --> 01:26:03.640
and our book is all done back from the editors,

1096
01:26:03.640 --> 01:26:04.600
designers and everything.

1097
01:26:04.600 --> 01:26:06.840
So we'll be releasing that real soon for you guys as well,

1098
01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:07.880
so you all get a free copy.

1099
01:26:07.880 --> 01:26:11.080
So cool, cool, bless you and we'll catch you soon.

1100
01:26:11.080 --> 01:26:11.920
Bye-bye.
