state of being hugely. These are going to be game-changing moments that I'm going

00:01:29.660 --> 00:01:34.300
better than the presence of God. If you love the presence of God let's hear an

18

amen. I'm gonna pray right now as well, why don't you even in the comments just

00:01:58.220 --> 00:02:06.580
let's start, let's start right now by really just starting the main thing, the

24
00:02:06.580 --> 00:02:11.940
most beautiful thing, the most precious thing which is enjoying, it's really

25
00:02:11.940 --> 00:02:19.260
enjoying and delighting in the present reality of our divine union, oneness,

26
00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:24.140
relationship, fellowship with the Trinity. So we're gonna start there tonight and

27
00:02:24.140 --> 00:02:30.740
we're gonna have an amazing night tonight so let's just, let's dive in, let's

28
00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:38.020
dive in deep and get really deeply saturated and freshly overwhelmed by the

29
00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:47.540
wonder of Trinity. So Trinity we come before you right now with such

30
00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:54.020
excitement and such delight and with hearts postured in a way that we can

31
00:02:54.020 --> 00:03:01.580
feel the tangible, whoa, right now I can feel your manifest glory right here in

32
00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:10.220
Trinity. Wow, I'll put my attention on you and Trinity I put my attention on the

33
00:03:10.220 --> 00:03:18.300
wonder, the wonder of who you are. Trinity there is you, there is an infinite

34
00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:24.140
wonder, this, this space right here of face-to-face and heart-to-heart and

35
00:03:24.140 --> 00:03:30.980
spirit-to-spirit, this is our most sacred place, this is our most holy place as we

36
00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:40.660
set our hearts on you, we honor you, whoa, we honor your sacred presence, our hearts

37
00:03:40.660 --> 00:03:45.460
delight and we rejoice in every part of our being, body, soul, and spirit,

38
00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:51.460
celebrates and exalts and delights and does backflips in the bliss and the

39
00:03:51.460 --> 00:03:57.260
wonder of knowing you and the bliss and the wonder of our inclusion in you, of

40
00:03:57.260 --> 00:04:04.220
this gift of divine union, every part of who we are radiates and celebrates, whoa,

41
00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:08.740
so I just want to say everyone just drink deep right now, drink deep

42
00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:15.780
right now of oneness, drink right now, drink deep right now of divine union,

43
00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:20.740
drink deep right now of your inclusion, drink deep right now of the reality

44
00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:25.060
there's no separation, Trinity we breathe you in right now, we delight in you, we

45
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:30.180
welcome and I see it right now, I see waves of your glory being released and

46
00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:35.540
right now I see waves of your presence just emanating out from this

47
00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:40.900
place, I see waves of your presence emanating out over the video right

48
00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:45.420
now and sweeping away a sense of disconnection, I see for some people

49
00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:50.540
right now the presence of God just overwhelming you and I want to declare

50
00:04:50.540 --> 00:04:53.460
that that's what you were created for, that's what you were born for more than

51
00:04:53.460 --> 00:05:01.900
anything else you were created for, to be overwhelmed by the presence, I see the

52
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.960
Weighty, glory of God, overwhelming. People are fresh right now, whoa.

53
00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:18.720
While we lean back, we open our hearts wide. Wow, we receive your glory. We thank you

54
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:28.240
for, whoa, we thank you for the ecstasy of who you are. We thank you for redeeming

55
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:35.480
our image of you. We thank you for redeeming our image of you. We thank you that to know

56
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:41.640
you is to know bliss, to know you is to know ecstasy, to know you is to know divine life,

57
00:05:41.640 --> 00:05:49.640
to know you is to know divine union and fellowship and seamless union. To know you is to be defined

58
00:05:49.640 --> 00:05:55.000
by you. And we celebrate your trinity with every part and every facet of who we are.

59
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:01.720
And we just declare a fresh releasing of the wonders, the fresh releasing of your wonders,

60
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:09.200
a fresh releasing of this sacred awareness of the wonder of who you are. We celebrate

61
00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:15.320
that right now. We celebrate you right now, Trinity. And I celebrate every single person

62
00:06:15.320 --> 00:06:22.800
as a part of this journey together. I thank you for fresh wonders and signs and miracles

63
00:06:22.840 --> 00:06:28.120
in their lives. I thank you for fresh revelations of your nature that change everything. I thank

64
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:34.320
you for fresh revelations of your nature that eclipse everything that we've ever thought

65
00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:41.320
we knew about you, in your beautiful name. Amen.

66
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:48.280
Love you guys so much. If you're feeling the love, if you're feeling the presence right

67
00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:54.280
now, why don't you give a thumbs up and amen. Or why don't you just say, yeah, you're receiving

68
00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:58.680
right now. I love to go on this journey with you. And I love to create this, especially

69
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:05.680
in these live videos, a sense of interaction, connection with you. So I just enjoy the interaction.

70
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.880
I enjoy getting to know you on these videos. So your comments, I read every comment and

71
00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:15.320
I'll go back after the videos as well and just enjoy the comments and the themes and

72
00:07:15.320 --> 00:07:21.200
the things that are coming up. So just again, give me a thumbs up and a high five if you're

73
00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:26.960
hearing everything, if everything's coming through clearly. That's amazing. Now, we've

74
00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:32.720
got some great teaching for tonight. I've actually got some great giveaways for tonight

75
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:39.720
as well. And I've got a really significant notice to give to you tonight as well. So

76
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:47.720
just one second. Our camera's going to get a slight bump, but that's all right. But having

77
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.720
said all that, you know, in this teaching, we'll get to it in a moment, but there's really

78
00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:00.720
nothing, nothing, nothing more significant than a connection with you in the Trinity,

79
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.720
a connection with you in the divine nature that is so seamless, that is so deep, that

80
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.720
is so face-to-face and so spirit-to-spirit, that it seems like you're one with Him, that

81
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.720
it seems like there is no separation, that there's nothing more significant than that.

82
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.720
And that happens both through the teaching and the revelation, but also just through

83
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.720
fresh encounter with Him, just through actually opening our hearts up to Him and letting Him

84
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:32.720
overwhelm us. And we were literally designed, created to be overwhelmed by His presence.

85
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:37.720
And if we're not overwhelmed by His presence, we can be overwhelmed by anything else.

86
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:42.720
Why don't you just shout out right now things that you've been overwhelmed by in the past.

87
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:47.720
I know that I've been overwhelmed by pressure. I know that I've been overwhelmed by finances.

88
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:54.720
I know I've been overwhelmed by spiritual dynamics and relationships and hard decisions

89
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.720
and my own sense of inadequacy and my own shame and my own... I've been overwhelmed by all

90
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.720
of these things, but I've discovered this place. And it's really what Matt was talking

91
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.720
about today in his session, which was amazing, by the way. I just want to celebrate and just

92
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:20.720
go, wow, Matt's session this afternoon was just amazing. Our life, our life, our life

93
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:27.720
is hidden with God in Christ Jesus. That's where we discover ourselves. That's where

94
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.720
we discover our destiny. That's where we discover what we were born for, created for.

95
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:39.720
It's literally in Him. When we wake up to the present reality of our oneness with Him

96
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:45.720
and we get to feast on the riches of the divine nature as an effortless state of being, that's

97
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:52.720
where our life is. Our life isn't in being overwhelmed by circumstances or tribulation.

98
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:59.720
Our life isn't in... Our life isn't in a religious pursuit of...

99
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.920
trying to get closer to God.

100
00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:04.680
Our life isn't in a religious pursuit

101
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:07.920
of trying to be good enough, trying to be accepted,

102
00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:09.560
trying to be intimate.

103
00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:13.040
Our life is literally, it's the gift of God

104
00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:14.320
that was hidden in Christ

105
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.200
since before the foundation of the world,

106
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.560
a reality we awaken to and experience the bliss

107
00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:24.400
and the wonder of this phenomenal union in the Trinity.

108
00:10:24.400 --> 00:10:27.520
So if you like the sound of that, right,

109
00:10:27.520 --> 00:10:29.080
if you are all in this,

110
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:30.280
this is what I'd like to hear it.

111
00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:32.880
Are you all in on this beautiful journey?

112
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:36.680
Do you wanna discover the bliss of your sonship?

113
00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:38.840
On a one to 10 scale,

114
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.120
how passionate do you feel like you are right now

115
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.960
in this journey of jumping in

116
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:49.600
and going all in to discovering the bliss

117
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.720
and the infinite wonders of seamless union?

118
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.360
Just on a one to 10 scale,

119
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.560
why don't you just mark that,

120
00:10:57.560 --> 00:11:00.080
chuck that out there, you're a one, you're a 10.

121
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.720
I just wanna pray right now before we go any further

122
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:05.680
that that divine hunger,

123
00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:07.880
a divine hunger would saturate us,

124
00:11:07.880 --> 00:11:09.120
body, soul, and spirit,

125
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.200
that wherever our hunger levels are right now,

126
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.160
that they would explode,

127
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:16.600
that there would be a massive explosion

128
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.760
in the desire of our hearts for union,

129
00:11:19.760 --> 00:11:22.040
that this would be an all-consuming,

130
00:11:22.040 --> 00:11:26.200
overwhelming, captivating, burning-hearted desire

131
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.000
within us that we would crave it,

132
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.000
that we would, like David wrote,

133
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.680
as the deer pants for water,

134
00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:34.520
so my soul longs for you.

135
00:11:34.520 --> 00:11:35.960
As David wrote as well,

136
00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:40.640
in a dry and weary land where there is no water,

137
00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:42.800
my soul thirsts for you,

138
00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:45.000
I pant for you, oh God.

139
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.680
Let's pray for that right now.

140
00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:50.080
Let's pray that and set our hearts to believe right now

141
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.800
that divine hunger is gonna overwhelm us

142
00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:53.880
like never before.

143
00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:57.040
Trinity, I thank you, thank you, thank you

144
00:11:57.040 --> 00:11:59.520
for the wonder of who you are.

145
00:11:59.520 --> 00:12:01.400
And Holy Spirit, I thank you

146
00:12:01.400 --> 00:12:05.400
that you are supernaturally moving in power right now.

147
00:12:05.400 --> 00:12:06.440
Holy Spirit, I thank you

148
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.000
that you are supernaturally moving

149
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.440
and causing a revelation of the nature of God

150
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.680
to explode inside of us,

151
00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:16.040
body, soul, and spirit,

152
00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:18.960
to the point that it awakens a hunger in us

153
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.600
that desires the Trinity,

154
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:21.800
desires fellowship,

155
00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:26.040
desires the experience of the wonder

156
00:12:26.040 --> 00:12:28.120
and the bliss of our union in you

157
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.560
more than we crave, Lord, for our food or for our water,

158
00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:35.040
more than we crave for the things of this world,

159
00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:38.000
but that our minds, our hearts would be set,

160
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.000
completely set on you,

161
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:41.360
that our hearts and our minds

162
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.880
will be set on heavenly realities,

163
00:12:43.880 --> 00:12:46.280
that our whole being will be set

164
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:50.720
in this hunger and this desire for more of you,

165
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.360
that this desire craving for you

166
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.040
would awaken inside of us like never before.

167
00:12:56.040 --> 00:12:58.760
Yeshua Messiah, I declare it awakening right now.

I see fires burning.

171
00:13:03.880 --> 00:13:07.760
I see the ruach, the breath of God,

172
00:13:07.760 --> 00:13:09.520
breathing and fanning into flame,

173
00:13:09.520 --> 00:13:11.480

Receive the fanning of the flame.

Receive the breath, the ruach,

179
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:24.680
the breath of the Spirit of God

180
00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:26.880
as He breathes on your hunger,

181
00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:28.640
as He breathes on your desire,

182
00:13:28.640 --> 00:13:31.400
as He breathes on your passion for Him.

183
00:13:35.520 --> 00:13:40.520
Supernatural hunger awakening in Jesus' name.

184
00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:42.440
Amen, beautiful.

185
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.400
Hey, well, we are going deep on this journey.

186
00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:50.400
And I'm so honored to be sharing it with you.

187
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.360
So honored to be sharing this journey with you.

188
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.360
Now, at the end of this video,

189
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.600
I'm gonna start letting you know a little bit more

190
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.520
about a massive opportunity that we have

191
00:13:59.520 --> 00:14:01.080
with the online School of Sonship.

192
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.040
For those that are really hungry to go deeper,

193
00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:05.440
there'll be more at the end.

194
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.120
I do wanna give away something tonight.

195
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:09.680
I wanna give away a couple of copies

196
00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:12.480
of my book that I authored last year.

197
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.680
It's called The Good Father.

198
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.200
It's a beautiful hardcover book.

199
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.720
It's got amazing illustrations in it.

200
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:23.720
And I wanna give a couple of copies away to people tonight.

201
00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:27.280
And so I'm gonna let you know as we go how we can do that.

202
00:14:27.280 --> 00:14:31.080
But let's jump into what I've got set up behind me here

203
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.080
and talk about this beautiful journey, all right?

204
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.880
So right here, I've got two chairs, right?

205
00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:38.320
You can see my two chairs.

206
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.560
This chair here is called The Orphan Illusion.

207
00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:43.680
Say that with me, say Orphan Illusion.

208
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.000
I can't hear you, but that's not a sound issue.

209
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.880
I just repeat Orphan Illusion, okay?

210
00:14:47.880 --> 00:14:49.760
Tap out Orphan Illusion.

211
00:14:49.760 --> 00:14:52.520
It's really important that we get this chair

212
00:14:52.520 --> 00:14:54.400
in our hearts and our spirits of what this is.

213
00:14:54.400 --> 00:14:56.800
This is the Orphan Illusion, okay?

214
00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:59.880
So tap it out, Orphan Illusion.

215
00:14:59.880 --> 00:15:00.720
All right.

216
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.140
We've got a few things here that represent the orphan a couple of things that represent the orphan illusion and then over here

217
00:15:06.140 --> 00:15:12.020
Oh my goodness. I love this chair guys. I love love love this seat

218
00:15:12.020 --> 00:15:14.860
This is this this is the seat that we were created for

219
00:15:15.300 --> 00:15:21.540
Destined for born for this my friends is the chair that represents the state of sonship

220
00:15:21.900 --> 00:15:25.100
Whoa, this is the state of sonship

221
00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:26.920
Oh

222
00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:33.480
Wow, and I'm guessing that you guys like if you can get say yeah, I can guess where he's going with this. Okay, so here's

223
00:15:34.040 --> 00:15:40.880
paint couple paintings that were done this week by one of our beautiful artists here in the channel and this

224
00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:44.840
Represents the orphan illusion right so you can see it's kind of lacking in color

225
00:15:44.920 --> 00:15:50.600
This sword is the sword of the spirit that's actually cracking open and escape

226
00:15:51.260 --> 00:15:54.700
Out of the darkness and then this painting here

227
00:15:56.500 --> 00:16:01.960
Represents the state of sonship beautiful, so we're going to be talking about two things tonight

228
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:09.100
We're going to be talking about the orphan illusion and we're going to be talking about the state of sonship

229
00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:15.260
And we're going to be talking about the beautiful journey that we go on and how we actually make the transition

230
00:16:15.760 --> 00:16:23.880
From the orphan illusion into the state of sonship, and we're also going to be talking about what changes is there any real difference?

231
00:16:23.880 --> 00:16:30.840
Is there really what what's the value of investing ourselves completely in this journey is the value?

232
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.400
And and how could it change our lives, so?

233
00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:41.060
Let's jump over to the orphan illusion come with me today. Here. We go the orphan illusion and let's talk about that

234
00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:43.500
I

235
00:16:43.820 --> 00:16:49.260
Got a same mysterious all right same mysterious. This is a mysterious piece of paper whoa

236
00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:53.380
Mysterious piece of paper all will be revealed shortly

237
00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:59.620
Okay, so I've got my mysterious piece of paper. I'm gonna leave it right there. This is the orphan illusion

238
00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:01.940
All right

239
00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:03.660
now

240
00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:05.900
Let me read it. Let me read a scripture for you

241
00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:10.020
That kind of highlights these two chairs in this this journey

242
00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:17.920
I'll jump up here. I'll read it to you in the I'll read it to you from the amplified classic version

243
00:17:18.780 --> 00:17:20.780
It's Romans 8

244
00:17:20.780 --> 00:17:22.780
verse 15

245
00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:29.560
Okay, Romans 8 verse 15 if you want to be reading along with me and the amplified classic for the spirit

246
00:17:30.100 --> 00:17:32.220
Which you have now received

247
00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:40.120
It's not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear

248
00:17:42.060 --> 00:17:45.820
But you have received the spirit of

249
00:17:46.540 --> 00:17:48.300
adoption the

250
00:17:48.300 --> 00:17:50.300
spirit producing

251
00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:54.220
Sonship in the bliss of which we cry

252
00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:56.260
Abba

253
00:17:56.260 --> 00:18:02.180
Father father whoa I love that so this verse here in Romans 8 15 is really

254
00:18:03.060 --> 00:18:07.840
Capturing the essence of this journey from the orphan illusion

255
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.600
To the bliss of sonship the state of sonship

256
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.400
in this verse there's two different spirits mentioned all right, so there's the

257
00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:20.040
spirit of

258
00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:24.960
Slavery oh my goodness goodness, and then there's the spirit of sonship

259
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:31.080
All right a spirit that produces slavery, and then there's a spirit that produces sonship. Oh, so you could

260
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:35.920
This this

261
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:41.640
Orphan illusion it has something at the very core of it that actually empowers it all right

262
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:48.680
There's a root that empowers it now if we can figure out what the root is then we can figure out what its kryptonite

263
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:54.600
It's all right, and and that's what we want to talk about tonight. What's the kryptonite of the orphan illusion?

264
00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:56.640
What's the kryptonite of a spirit of slavery?

265
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:03.560
what's the kryptonite of the orphan condition that will deal a death blow to the orphan condition and

266
00:19:04.360 --> 00:19:11.120
Accelerate our transformation and our journey into the bliss of sonship if you want to know what the crypt

267
00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:15.880
What the kryptonite is for the orphan or orphan condition or the orphan illusion things to say yes?

268
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:21.640
I want to know I want to know what the kryptonite is for the orphan illusion right stay tuned

269
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:24.480
So what is the kryptonite for the orphan illusion?

270
00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:29.080
Let me jump over here to this dodgy spot

271
00:19:33.600 --> 00:19:35.600
The orphan

272
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.720
Illusion all right what it's founded on is it's founded on the greatest issue

273
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:46.200
That humanity has ever had that was talking about this

274
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:53.320
And in the last session as well. He was talking about the fact that humanity right at the fall

275
00:19:54.640 --> 00:20:00.040
It was the fall of humanity not the fall of God and one of the things that we love you know that that

276
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:10.240
it was just so obvious for us in the fall is that we as humanity had lost sight of an accurate image

277
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:16.080
an accurate blueprint of the nature of our good good papa that was the thing that humanity

278
00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:22.480
struggled with more than anything else was a false image of god a corrupt image of god a defiled

279
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:32.000
image of god and this false image of god let me tell you that a false image of god all right a

280
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:40.160
false image of god a corrupt image of god is the very cornerstone of a spirit of slavery it's the

281
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:46.800
very cornerstone of the orphan illusion a false image of god and what's the kryptonite to a false

282
00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:55.680
image of god the kryptonite to a false image of god is jesus because the thing that the kryptonite

283
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:03.360
that jesus carried right the kryptonite the the superpower that jesus carried that decimates and

284
00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:09.840
completely annihilates the orphan illusion the essence of the kryptonite and the superpower that

285
00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:16.080
jesus had to liberate humanity and bring many sons into glory and liberate us into sonship

286
00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:23.360
was a revelation of the father see the the life of jesus everything about jesus the core of what

287
00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:31.920
he spoke about the core of his his ministry was to redeem our lost and perverted and corrupted

288
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:42.160
and defiled image of the father jesus restored to humanity an authentic revelation a blueprint

289
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:51.840
and an authoritative expression he was the exact representation of the father how beautiful is that

290
00:21:51.840 --> 00:21:57.840
he's restored to us our image now let me let me give you a little bit of an idea of how much damage

291
00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:02.080
this can do if your image of the father gets corrupted and distorted like it was for some

292
00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:07.840
of our church fathers then you start doing things like this all right can we see that okay what is

293
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:17.360
this this is a torture uh implement it's called the rack okay now this this this torture implement

294
00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:22.720
called the rack now say now let me what do you think is this nasty if this is nasty say that's

295
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:28.960
nasty do you just in the comments describe this in your own words to me like and describe on a

296
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:35.280
nasty scale in your in your words in your comments like on a nasty scale on a one to ten how nasty

297
00:22:35.280 --> 00:22:40.080
does this look like you know how how nasty is a racking all right tell me tell me what in your

298
00:22:40.080 --> 00:22:46.160
words how nasty is this does this mean rude bad like in terms of manners on a manner scale or a

299
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:51.680
you know like a welcoming scale how how nasty is this okay so this rack

300
00:22:53.920 --> 00:23:00.960
um this rack was actually utilized by john not that particular one but the rack was actually

301
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:09.040
utilized by john calvin one of the great theologians uh in the in church history it was

302
00:23:09.040 --> 00:23:16.320
used as a torture device to torture uh people that he disagreed with or who disagreed with him

303
00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:21.200
and one particular man who who thought that some of his behavior was a little bit heretical

304
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:28.000
and the fact that he would torture and execute people for having a different belief uh one man

305
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:32.640
called him a hypocrite and said you know really what you're doing it is a bit hypocritical uh

306
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:39.840
john calvin had him racked all right so tortured to the extreme and then executed now what do i

307
00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:45.760
want to associate that with i want to associate behavior like that with the orphan illusion all

308
00:23:45.760 --> 00:23:52.400
right when we have a false image of who the father is it leads us into all sorts of darkness okay so

309
00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:57.840
what does the orphan illusion look like let me come with me come with me in a journey

310
00:23:58.560 --> 00:24:05.200
kind of into my past and kind of into the darkness of humanity and where we spend so much of our

311
00:24:05.760 --> 00:24:10.400
existence you know this is where so much of humanity lives but the orphan illusion i don't

312
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:15.680
even like sitting in this seat right i don't even like sitting in the seat because this orphan

313
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:21.840
illusion you know it represents so many things you know it it represents a place where we have a

314
00:24:21.840 --> 00:24:29.200
really a corrupt image of who god is so god is a monster to us like he might not exist or he might

315
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:36.560
be a monster he he's unkind he's this really uh he's a nasty being and oh my goodness uh

316
00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:43.440
so and then so when we're in this place of having a corrupt image of the nature of god we end up

317
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:49.680
having a corrupt image of our very own identity um we start believing that we have a sinful nature

318
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:55.680
that shadow cult that matt talked about starts coming alive all these false identities start

319
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.760
taking on more and more

320
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.880
False identities have more weight to us

321
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:04.840
than who God says we truly are.

322
00:25:04.840 --> 00:25:07.840
Inadequacy starts fueling up on the inside of us.

323
00:25:07.840 --> 00:25:09.560
It's a huge sense of inadequacy.

324
00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:12.820
Now, the moment that we believe we're inadequate in any way,

325
00:25:12.820 --> 00:25:15.280
it produces a shame on the inside of us,

326
00:25:15.280 --> 00:25:18.640
and that shame leads to condemnation,

327
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.040
and that shame and condemnation builds up,

328
00:25:21.040 --> 00:25:23.440
and it drives us into a place of isolation.

329
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.480
So this world starts having all these walls up

330
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.080
and all this disconnection up,

331
00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:30.960
and we start being, the fear in our own heart

332
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:32.160
and the shame in our own heart

333
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.040
of our own sense of inadequacy and unworthiness

334
00:25:35.040 --> 00:25:36.700
drives us to isolate.

335
00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:39.040
That's exactly what Adam and Eve did, isn't it?

336
00:25:39.040 --> 00:25:40.280
They isolated.

337
00:25:40.280 --> 00:25:41.720
Let me know if you've ever isolated.

338
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:43.080
Let me know if you've ever put up a wall.

339
00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:46.360
If you've put up a wall, what have you put up a wall for?

340
00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:49.840
Okay, this is one of the things that I'm gonna give away,

341
00:25:49.840 --> 00:25:52.180
a book on this point here.

342
00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:54.160
Let me know one of the reasons why you've isolated.

343
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:56.920
I'm gonna go through and read the comments later,

344
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:58.400
and when you're watching this

345
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.560
and when you're reading the comments after,

346
00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:04.040
whoever tells me a story of a reason they've isolated,

347
00:26:04.040 --> 00:26:07.600
whichever story has the most likes, why have you isolated?

348
00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:10.600
Then just, whichever one has the most likes

349
00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:14.120
in two days' time, I will send you a book, all right?

350
00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:15.640
I'll send you a copy of The Good Father.

351
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:16.640
Why have you isolated?

352
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:18.560
I've isolated for so many reasons.

353
00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:21.660
For me, it was my secret sin, all right?

354
00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:24.540
When I was a child, I was involved in,

355
00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:27.060
it was not even crazy stuff.

356
00:26:27.060 --> 00:26:28.940
I just remember as a child being involved

357
00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:31.060
in doctors and nurses and kind of running around

358
00:26:31.060 --> 00:26:32.300
with some of the neighborhood kids

359
00:26:32.300 --> 00:26:35.780
and being naked and just crazy little things,

360
00:26:35.780 --> 00:26:38.180
not that big a deal really, but you know what?

361
00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:42.740
For me, it became a place of deep, secret shame

362
00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:46.860
that was one of the sources of my greatest sins

363
00:26:46.860 --> 00:26:49.340
of inadequacy, so I kept that hidden.

364
00:26:49.340 --> 00:26:51.300
I isolated, I hid it from God.

365
00:26:51.300 --> 00:26:53.380
I hid parts of myself from God,

366
00:26:53.380 --> 00:26:56.420
and I put up these walls where no one could come

367
00:26:56.420 --> 00:26:57.940
into different parts of my heart,

368
00:26:57.940 --> 00:27:01.340
and so I had, it builds up trust issues and isolation,

369
00:27:01.340 --> 00:27:04.140
and ultimately, I live in a love deficit,

370
00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:06.540
so we end up finding that the orphan illusion

371
00:27:06.540 --> 00:27:09.060
is a place of a massive love deficit,

372
00:27:09.060 --> 00:27:10.820
and then also, it's a place where we feel like

373
00:27:10.820 --> 00:27:11.940
we're not gonna get provision,

374
00:27:11.940 --> 00:27:15.480
and so there's fear and stress and worry and anxiety,

375
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.500
which leads to this crazy place, right?

376
00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:20.160
It leads to this crazy place of emotional dysfunctions.

377
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.820
It leads to this place of insecurity,

378
00:27:22.860 --> 00:27:25.140
which leads to crazy behavioral dysfunctions,

379
00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:27.860
so we have all this dysfunction going on.

380
00:27:27.860 --> 00:27:30.820
Let me know if you've ever experienced these dysfunctions.

381
00:27:30.820 --> 00:27:33.300
What dysfunction have you experienced

382
00:27:33.300 --> 00:27:34.940
on the emotional side of things,

383
00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:36.220
on the behavioral side of things?

384
00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:38.460
This is what drives us into addiction.

385
00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:42.420
This is what drives us into these crazy,

386
00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:45.140
insecurity-driven behaviors.

387
00:27:45.140 --> 00:27:48.420
Ultimately, this place is a place of deep separation

388
00:27:48.420 --> 00:27:51.940
and disconnection from God, a place of deep inadequacy,

389
00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:56.020
a place of deep shame, and a place of deep fear.

390
00:27:56.020 --> 00:27:57.900
Now, the beautiful thing is, right,

391
00:27:57.900 --> 00:27:59.420
that this is an illusion.

392
00:27:59.420 --> 00:28:02.660
Say illusion, illusion, because the truth is

393
00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:07.500
that none of us are defined by inadequacy.

394
00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:09.440
We are not defined by inadequacy.

395
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:12.380
That is not who we are, all right?

396
00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:14.700
We have one definition.

397
00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:17.020
We are exclusively defined by the Trinity.

398
00:28:17.020 --> 00:28:19.580
Let me read to you, actually, I'm gonna read to you

399
00:28:20.260 --> 00:28:24.100
a section from John 17 that directly relates

400
00:28:24.100 --> 00:28:26.100
to this beautiful journey that we're going on,

401
00:28:26.100 --> 00:28:28.260
and then we're gonna leap into it.

402
00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:33.820
Okay, verse 20 through to 26.

403
00:28:33.820 --> 00:28:34.660
Join with me.

404
00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:37.780
So that's John 17, verses 20 to 26.

405
00:28:37.780 --> 00:28:40.060
My prayer is not for them alone.

406
00:28:40.060 --> 00:28:41.900
I pray also for those who will believe in me

407
00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:44.660
through their message, that all of them may be one,

408
00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:48.620
Father, just as you are in me, and I am in you.

409
00:28:48.620 --> 00:28:52.900
May they also be in us, so that the world may believe

410
00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:54.060
that you have sent me.

411
00:28:55.300 --> 00:28:57.340
I have given them the glory that you gave me,

412
00:28:57.340 --> 00:29:01.040
that they may be one as we are one.

413
00:29:01.040 --> 00:29:03.660
I in them, and you in me, so that they may be brought

414
00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:05.460
to complete unity.

415
00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:07.380
Then the world will know that you sent me,

416
00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:12.380
and have loved them even as you have loved me.

417
00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:18.020
Father, I want those who have given me to be with me,

418
00:29:18.020 --> 00:29:23.020
and to see my glory, the glory you have given me

419
00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:28.060
because you loved me before the creation of the world.

420
00:29:29.860 --> 00:29:32.620
Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,

421
00:29:32.620 --> 00:29:35.140
I know you, and they know that you have sent me.

422
00:29:35.140 --> 00:29:38.300
I have made you known to them, and I will continue

423
00:29:38.300 --> 00:29:41.220
to reveal you to them, in order that the love

424
00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:44.340
that you have for me may be in them,

425
00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:48.620
and that I myself may be in them.

426
00:29:48.620 --> 00:29:50.100
Oh my goodness, I love this.

427
00:29:50.100 --> 00:29:53.380
It's beautiful, and it starts catching the essence

428
00:29:53.380 --> 00:29:55.220
of the state of sonship.

429
00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:58.980
Now, this state of sonship is absolutely,

430
00:29:58.980 --> 00:30:00.100
I mean, you cannot.

431
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.760
Yet, listen, we cannot get better,

432
00:30:02.760 --> 00:30:05.360
there cannot be a better quality of life

433
00:30:05.360 --> 00:30:08.080
than the state of sonship, all right?

434
00:30:08.080 --> 00:30:09.880
Now, the orphan illusion is called,

435
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.280
I call it an illusion for good reasons

436
00:30:12.280 --> 00:30:14.600
because it's not present reality.

437
00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:15.880
Say present reality.

438
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:20.160
This is the great thing about our journey into sonship

439
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.360
is that it's not works-based, okay?

440
00:30:22.360 --> 00:30:24.840
Say that, say it's not works-based.

441
00:30:24.840 --> 00:30:27.760
It is not performance-based acceptance.

442
00:30:27.760 --> 00:30:30.560
It is not a performance-based identity.

443
00:30:30.560 --> 00:30:33.120
It is not performance-based intimacy.

444
00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:36.320
It is simply waking up to the present reality.

445
00:30:36.320 --> 00:30:38.080
Let me tell you something about you.

446
00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:41.320
You're exclusively defined by the Trinity.

447
00:30:41.320 --> 00:30:44.720
You are seamlessly one with the Trinity right now.

448
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.560
And this is what Matt was sharing about today

449
00:30:47.560 --> 00:30:50.280
and what Thomas Merton was writing about.

450
00:30:50.280 --> 00:30:54.320
It's the waking up, it's the waking up

451
00:30:54.360 --> 00:30:58.200
to the present reality of who we are.

452
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:01.200
The sinful nature that people talk about.

453
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:02.880
Now, when I was in church,

454
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:06.080
I'm gonna come back to this.

455
00:31:06.080 --> 00:31:08.000
First of all, I'm gonna go back over here.

456
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.240
I'm gonna talk more about this chair of sonship.

457
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:13.840
This chair of sonship, this state of sonship,

458
00:31:13.840 --> 00:31:16.000
this is what we were designed for, all right?

459
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:17.320
We were designed for this.

460
00:31:17.320 --> 00:31:21.680
In John 17, 22, it says,

461
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:24.280
I have given them the same glory.

462
00:31:24.280 --> 00:31:26.160
That's a past tense, so it's already happened.

463
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.600
He's talking about a present reality for you and I.

464
00:31:28.600 --> 00:31:32.680
I have given them the same glory that the Father gave me.

465
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:33.520
Oh my goodness.

466
00:31:33.520 --> 00:31:35.640
So we're exclusively defined by Him.

467
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:38.280
And when we wake up to the present reality that,

468
00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:41.200
you know what, you don't even have a sinful nature.

469
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.040
That's what Romans 6 and Colossians 2 says.

470
00:31:44.040 --> 00:31:46.400
It says that it was crucified in the cross,

471
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:48.040
it was buried in the grave,

472
00:31:48.040 --> 00:31:50.640
and you were resurrected to newness of life.

473
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:53.520
Colossians 2 says it was circumcised from you.

474
00:31:53.520 --> 00:31:54.760
It was buried in the grave,

475
00:31:54.760 --> 00:31:57.720
and goes on from Colossians 2 to Colossians 3, it says,

476
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:02.400
no, your life is hidden with God in Christ Jesus.

477
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:06.200
Wow, your life is hidden with God in Christ Jesus.

478
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:09.600
So this chair of sonship, this state of sonship,

479
00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:12.120
it is what we were created for.

480
00:32:12.120 --> 00:32:13.560
It was what we were designed for.

481
00:32:13.560 --> 00:32:18.560
It is a place of effortless union.

482
00:32:19.320 --> 00:32:20.520
Union.

483
00:32:20.520 --> 00:32:25.520
It is a place of effortless identity, effortless bliss.

484
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.640
Romans 8, 15 says that the spirit producing sonship,

485
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.960
it produces bliss.

486
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:36.240
Wow, it produces ecstasy.

487
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.560
And I want to say that to know the Father,

488
00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:40.680
to know the Trinity is to know bliss,

489
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:43.440
to know the Trinity is to know ecstasy,

490
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.880
it's to know awe, it's to know divine wonder,

491
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.800
it's to know divine union.

492
00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:52.440
So here we are, in this place of the state of sonship,

493
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.760
what we have is a place of being exclusively defined

494
00:32:55.760 --> 00:32:57.920
by the Trinity, that's you and I.

495
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.840
There's no, look, there's no life experience

496
00:33:00.840 --> 00:33:02.560
that we've ever been through

497
00:33:02.560 --> 00:33:05.520
that has authority to redefine that,

498
00:33:05.520 --> 00:33:08.640
which Christ has already defined in his image.

499
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:12.040
And you and I, there is nothing we can go through in life.

500
00:33:12.040 --> 00:33:13.760
There's no life experiences,

501
00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:15.640
there's no words that can be spoken to you,

502
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:17.960
no defiling action that can happen to you,

503
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:21.560
no sense of, no trauma, no abuse, no failure,

504
00:33:21.560 --> 00:33:24.040
nothing that we go through in life

505
00:33:24.040 --> 00:33:26.880
has any authority to redefine that,

506
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:30.680
which has already been exclusively defined by the Trinity.

507
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.760
Oh my goodness, and when we wake up to this, right,

508
00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:36.960
when we wake up to the present reality

509
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.320
that we're already exclusively defined by the Trinity,

510
00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:41.480
here's what happens.

511
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:45.800
One, the sense of inadequacy that lives here.

512
00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:49.600
This is a place where inadequacy lives and breathes.

513
00:33:49.600 --> 00:33:52.920
The orphan illusion, inadequacy lives and breathes,

514
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.600
separation lives and breathes.

515
00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:56.400
That's what the normal is here.

516
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:58.680
Now, John 17, 22, Jesus said,

517
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.520
I have given them the same glory

518
00:34:01.520 --> 00:34:05.160
that the Father gave me, for a reason, right?

519
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:06.880
If we don't understand this reason,

520
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:08.440
if we don't understand this reason,

521
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:11.520
then we will always live with separation

522
00:34:11.520 --> 00:34:13.639
in the midst of inclusion.

523
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:15.480
You're already as one with the Trinity

524
00:34:16.120 --> 00:34:16.960
as one can be.

525
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.080
You're already as in as in can be.

526
00:34:19.080 --> 00:34:22.000
And I wanna tell you that we do not have to live

527
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:26.400
even for one moment ever with the slightest,

528
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:28.880
with the slightest sense of inadequacy,

529
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.639
with the slightest sense of separation,

530
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:32.679
with the slightest sense of condemnation.

531
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:33.719
It doesn't have to exist.

532
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:36.320
Here's how John 17, 22 works.

533
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.239
Jesus said, I have given them the same glory

534
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:39.719
that the Father gave me,

535
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.280
that they may be one as we are one.

536
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.360
Now, he's, first of all, makes an identity statement.

537
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:47.080
I've given them the same glory

538
00:34:47.080 --> 00:34:47.920
that the Father gave me.

539
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:49.440
That speaks about our identity.

540
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:50.840
The Greek word is doxa.

541
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.800
It means substance, essence.

542
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.800
You could value.

543
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:57.360
You could definitely substitute the word identity

544
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.000
in there as well.

545
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.200
So what I've got here.

546
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:08.120
is water, water here and oil here, alright? Two different docks. So oil has the docks

547
00:35:08.120 --> 00:35:15.680
of oil and water has the docks of water. And here's what happens when you try and mix water

548
00:35:15.680 --> 00:35:21.980
and oil. Let me shake this up. Okay, we're shaking it. We're shaking it! Say shaking

549
00:35:21.980 --> 00:35:26.440
it. I hope you're doing well. If you're tracking with me, I hope this is good, alright? I hope

550
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:31.920
you are loving this. So, John 17, 22, I have given them the same glory that the Father

551
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:37.920
gave me, that they may be one as we are one. But look at what's happening to this, look

552
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:43.800
at what's happening to this water and oil right here. Now, look, I shook it up, right?

553
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:49.400
I shook it up, but water and oil have a default setting. They have a default setting, alright?

554
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:55.160
Look, now phones, I have to adjust the settings, the default settings on my phones and my computer

555
00:35:55.160 --> 00:35:58.600
and things like that. We all have to adjust those default settings. But listen, when

556
00:35:58.600 --> 00:36:04.080
you believe that you're defined by anything else apart from the Trinity, your default

557
00:36:04.080 --> 00:36:09.600
setting will be separation. And that's why we cannot endorse a sense of inadequacy in

558
00:36:09.600 --> 00:36:17.000
any way. Look, the default setting is separation. If we believe we're defined by anything other

559
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:21.920
than the Trinity, the default setting is separation. And that separation, oh my goodness, that's

560
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:28.040
a place of darkness, loneliness, despair, chaos. It's a place of total dysfunction.

561
00:36:28.040 --> 00:36:34.360
But what Jesus was talking about is that he's given us the same glory that the Father gave

562
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:41.120
him, which means we're the same substance. So look at the separation in this. There is

563
00:36:41.120 --> 00:36:48.040
no separation. We are seamlessly one with the nature of God. This is who we are. We

564
00:36:48.040 --> 00:36:54.560
are as one as one can be, we are as in as in can be. We are substance for substance,

565
00:36:54.560 --> 00:37:01.560
essence for essence, likeness for likeness, glory for glory, doxa for doxa. We are exclusively

566
00:37:01.560 --> 00:37:07.160
defined by the Trinity and seamlessly one with the Trinity. That's what John 17 is talking

567
00:37:07.160 --> 00:37:11.920
about. I've given you the same glory that the Father gave me, that you may be one as

568
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:19.080
we are one. How beautiful is that? All right, now here's the thing. Here's the thing. I

569
00:37:19.080 --> 00:37:22.640
really didn't understand that. I don't know how many times I've read that. I had no clue

570
00:37:22.640 --> 00:37:28.200
about that. My world didn't work like that at all, right? So in this place of the state

571
00:37:28.200 --> 00:37:35.000
of sonship, everything is different to this place of the orphan illusion. When I lived

572
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:40.440
in the orphan illusion, I thought everything was about performance. And to me, my whole

573
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:46.960
world lived out of that place of performance. One of the first things that God started working

574
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:54.800
on with me was performance-based acceptance. I thought, man, there is no way that God...

575
00:37:54.800 --> 00:38:00.280
What happened is I read this verse in John 17, 23, and I had a real problem with it.

576
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:09.920
Let's go there. I in them, and you in me, so that they may be brought to complete unity.

577
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:19.160
Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved

578
00:38:19.160 --> 00:38:24.960
me. Oh my goodness. Now, first of all, when I got to the end of reading that, I thought

579
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:29.840
to myself, that is absolute rubbish. I mean, I don't know how many times I've read it before,

580
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:34.240
but this particular day when I read it, it gripped me and everything in me disagreed

581
00:38:34.240 --> 00:38:39.320
with it. I was like, that is total rubbish because everything that I know about love

582
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:45.200
is performance-based acceptance. And when I looked at Jesus' performance, he was a 10

583
00:38:45.200 --> 00:38:50.560
out of 10, and I was less than a one out of 10. I was less than a one out of 10 on the

584
00:38:50.560 --> 00:38:57.480
performance scale. And so my natural association, my natural conclusion is that Jesus is worthy

585
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:03.920
of 10 out of 10 love, and I'm not worthy, I wouldn't even be worthy of 1 out of 10 love.

586
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:10.480
So my understanding is that the Father loved Jesus so much more than the measure, the portion

587
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:15.240
of divine love available for Jesus was 10 out of 10, but for me, it was less than a

588
00:39:15.240 --> 00:39:23.920
one out of 10. Thank you, Jesus, that you wrestled performance-based acceptance out

589
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.800
of my belief system, and to the point where I actually finally came into agreement with

590
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:37.200
that verse, John 17, 23, and I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm as loved right now as Jesus.

591
00:39:37.200 --> 00:39:44.400
I'm as loved by the Father right now as Jesus is loved by the Father. Now that's just a

592
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:49.280
gift, that's just the nature of God. You know, I talked about in the first video, I talked

593
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:53.000
about the divine dance. Oh my gosh, if you remember that, give me a thumbs up on the

594
00:39:53.000 --> 00:40:00.040
divine dance. The divine dance, the limitless measure of divine love, this infinite form.

595
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.320
of love that we will never be able to contain, we'll never be able to explore

596
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:10.120
or fathom the full depth or measure of this infinite divine love, this infinite

597
00:40:10.120 --> 00:40:15.320
bliss and ecstasy and delight that the Trinity has for us. Well it was in this

598
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:19.000
process that I discovered I didn't have to work for it, I didn't have to earn it

599
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:22.480
which I never thought I was worthy of it, I never thought I could ever step into

600
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:29.240
it, but he broke that orphan illusion, he broke that off me and he started to

601
00:40:29.240 --> 00:40:35.180
break off and shift my image of God and one of my big misperceptions of the

602
00:40:35.180 --> 00:40:40.920
nature of God is that he has a mindset of a performance-based acceptance that

603
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.920
simply is not true, his nature is love and right now, honestly right now, whether

604
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.640
you are having your worst day or whether you're having your best day, you're

605
00:40:49.640 --> 00:40:55.040
exclusively defined by him and you are perfectly loved by him. See our identity

606
00:40:55.040 --> 00:41:00.200
isn't a performance-based identity either. This rocked me too

607
00:41:00.200 --> 00:41:05.200
because I had always associated my identity with the things that I'd done,

608
00:41:05.200 --> 00:41:08.640
with the things that have been said about me, with my successes, with my

609
00:41:08.640 --> 00:41:15.520
failures, with my traumas, with my secret sin, those were the things for me that

610
00:41:15.520 --> 00:41:21.720
defined my identity. Then something radical happened, I read Psalm 139

611
00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:27.720
verse 14 and while I was reading it, I mean it says, all your works are

612
00:41:27.720 --> 00:41:32.200
wonderful, I know that full well and I thought to myself, what? All your works

613
00:41:32.200 --> 00:41:38.120
are wonderful? I thought, that sounds so proud and so arrogant, I said, oh my

614
00:41:38.120 --> 00:41:41.560
goodness, how can I go, could I? And I thought to myself, this is where my

615
00:41:41.560 --> 00:41:46.000
head went, I was like, wouldn't it be proud if I got a t-shirt

616
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.760
and printed on it, I'm wonderful and went around wearing that? I wanted to

617
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:52.160
extrapolate out, you know, where this thing was going, what this would mean. I

618
00:41:52.160 --> 00:41:55.600
was like, if I got a t-shirt that said, I'm wonderful and I wore that, wouldn't

619
00:41:55.600 --> 00:42:01.480
that be proud and arrogant? I was having this dialogue with God and he said to me,

620
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:08.320
humility is simply to agree with God. Wow. So when he said that, oh my goodness,

621
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:12.360
everything changed, you know, because before that, my religious lifestyle had

622
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:17.960
been brought up with a bipolar schizophrenic identity because one day

623
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:21.640
people would tell me that I had a sinful nature, right? You've got the sinful

624
00:42:21.640 --> 00:42:27.560
nature, you've got this dark side to who you are, you've got this flesh that's

625
00:42:27.560 --> 00:42:32.480
corrupted and defiled and utterly depraved and I was like, oh my goodness,

626
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:36.240
there's the dark part of me, there's some sinful nature on the inside of me,

627
00:42:36.240 --> 00:42:43.960
there's some corrupt dynamic to who I am and then the next day they'd tell me,

628
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:49.600
you're the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and I was literally like a

629
00:42:49.600 --> 00:42:55.080
spiritual bipolar, spiritual schizophrenic because one day I'd have this raging

630
00:42:55.080 --> 00:43:00.000
sinful nature which was this huge beast that I had to try and battle and often

631
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:07.160
so unsuccessfully rage against this illusion of a sinful nature and I

632
00:43:07.160 --> 00:43:12.320
want to say that the orphan illusion is such a great way to put it because it is

633
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:16.800
an illusion. The sinful nature is an illusion that is only empowered by

634
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:21.720
believing a lie. The orphan illusion is just an

635
00:43:21.720 --> 00:43:27.320
illusion. Separation is an illusion. The sinful nature is an illusion. All the

636
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:32.880
references to the sinful nature, Romans 6 and Colossians 2, are that it has been

637
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:38.300
put to death, circumcised. The sinful nature is a false identity, alright? The

638
00:43:38.300 --> 00:43:42.280
only reason we can ever have a sinful nature, the only way that we could ever

639
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:46.760
create the illusion of a sinful nature that could actually operate, that

640
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:51.320
could become an entity that operated through our life, is if we came to the

641
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:56.120
false conclusion that we were defined by anything other than the Trinity but that

642
00:43:56.120 --> 00:44:02.560
simply is not true. John 17, 22, we have been given past tense already. It's as

643
00:44:02.560 --> 00:44:07.480
done as done can be, my friends. This is the grace of God and this is

644
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:11.320
not just the grace of God but the very character of the Father, the very

645
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:16.360
nature of the Father, that from the very beginning, it was out of the

646
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:20.800
divine dance, out of this extreme love for us that the Trinity conceived

647
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:25.520
humanity for this purpose of participating effortlessly in the bliss

648
00:44:25.520 --> 00:44:31.000
and the ecstasy and the awe and the wonder of divine fellowship. Effortless,

649
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:35.640
as a default setting, as effortless as water connects with water, alright? That's

650
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:42.160
our default setting is union because we're created from the same substance. So

651
00:44:42.160 --> 00:44:46.480
he said to me, humility is simply to agree with God and boom, when that

652
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:51.760
happened, listen guys, that changed everything. I all of a sudden started to

653
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:56.560
go, oh my goodness, if God said he made me in his image, glory for glory, substance

654
00:44:56.560 --> 00:45:02.400
for substance, likeness for likeness, essence for essence, that means I'm

655
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.640
Exclusively defined by the Trinity and listen, I was like, oh my goodness when I discovered that you know

656
00:45:05.640 --> 00:45:10.120
He's not a god of performance based acceptance, but that he loves us all

657
00:45:11.120 --> 00:45:16.200
Extravagantly perfectly right now. Listen, we're as loved as love can be doesn't matter if it's your best day

658
00:45:16.200 --> 00:45:17.320
It doesn't matter if it's your worst day

659
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:22.440
It doesn't matter if this is the very first time you're hearing about the love of your father in heaven for you

660
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.520
You right now are as loved as love can be for God

661
00:45:25.520 --> 00:45:30.440
So love the world that even in our darkness you while we were still enemies God

662
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:32.960
Reconciled us to himself

663
00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:39.720
Romans 5 verse 8 says but God demonstrates his own love for us in this that while we were still

664
00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:45.280
Good sinners while we were still falsely defined by illusions

665
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:49.480
But while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Oh

666
00:45:50.160 --> 00:45:54.200
My goodness his love is an unconditional love and when I discovered it's

667
00:45:54.960 --> 00:46:01.720
Unconditional love right? There's no performance based acceptance that changed everything because it helped me see the nature of the father

668
00:46:01.720 --> 00:46:05.240
That is who he is rather than this false corrupt image

669
00:46:05.240 --> 00:46:10.840
I had of the father here who he judges us by our performance as to how loved we are

670
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:13.400
He judges us by a performance as to you know

671
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:20.340
What our identity will be and he judges us by our performance as to how close we will be to him. But listen

672
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:23.960
Performance based acceptance

673
00:46:24.600 --> 00:46:26.440
is a lie

674
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:28.440
identity based

675
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:31.300
Performance based identity is a lie performance based

676
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.640
Intimacy is a lie. Those are all lies the

677
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:39.480
Absolute illusions and that's the nature of the orphan illusion

678
00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:43.480
From these false

679
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:45.800
Convictions we live from these false

680
00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:52.040
Definitions of false images of the father as though he's some corrupt monster God and false

681
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:54.800
Understandings of our own identity

682
00:46:55.320 --> 00:47:02.840
Listen when Jesus restores to us the blueprint of our divine design what he restores at the same time is he?

683
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:06.160
restores to us the blueprint of our

684
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:11.840
He when he restores the image of the father to us that we we get restored from this corrupt

685
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:18.680
Broken defiled image of God that we take from so many other life experiences

686
00:47:18.680 --> 00:47:22.120
We come to so many false conclusions about who the father is

687
00:47:22.120 --> 00:47:29.600
Well, Jesus turns up and he is the kryptonite to every false image of who the father is and he restores the father

688
00:47:29.600 --> 00:47:37.080
It is the perfection and the wonder of who he is restores to us the image of a loving father and when that happens we

689
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:39.120
simultaneously

690
00:47:39.120 --> 00:47:44.920
Rediscover the blueprint of our own divine design. They're exclusively defined by him

691
00:47:45.520 --> 00:47:52.280
Then literally everything changes, you know, we come into this place the state of sunshine where we transition

692
00:47:52.640 --> 00:47:54.640
listen, we transition from

693
00:47:56.080 --> 00:47:58.800
Struggling all the time trying to do enough and I remember for myself

694
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:01.120
I remember just this rap

695
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:07.600
This is gonna hence the wheel of performance right wake up every day and I try and do enough and I you know

696
00:48:07.600 --> 00:48:10.040
What before breakfast time I'd usually stuffed it up

697
00:48:10.040 --> 00:48:17.280
So I'd heat condemnation on myself as though condemnation would encourage me to do better and it didn't

698
00:48:17.520 --> 00:48:19.520
Condemnation is not a good encourager

699
00:48:19.520 --> 00:48:24.200
And I just lived in the sense of shame and disconnection and isolation

700
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:28.680
and actually at this camp that I went to I played this game where there's a tree and

701
00:48:29.040 --> 00:48:36.880
Attached to the tree is a bungee cord and everyone would tie themselves to this bungee cord and everyone would strive and press and

702
00:48:37.160 --> 00:48:43.560
Struggle and see who could get furthest from the tree and then ultimately everyone at the bungee cord would eventually bring everyone back

703
00:48:43.560 --> 00:48:46.360
I mean and everyone would end up back at the tree

704
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:49.280
That's exactly what

705
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:53.440
Performance based acceptance was like for me. I would I spent years

706
00:48:53.960 --> 00:49:00.080
Struggling trying to try to earn my identity struggling trying to earn acceptance struggling trying to earn intimacy

707
00:49:00.080 --> 00:49:02.080
And so I discovered that oh my gosh

708
00:49:07.640 --> 00:49:12.480
Sorry guys, we had a momentary interruption. Give me a thumbs up if you can hear me, man

709
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:16.240
Give me a thumbs up if you can hear me and you're doing all right, so

710
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:22.120
You guys if you guys are hearing me primo we're on a roll here

711
00:49:23.160 --> 00:49:26.240
So that's where I was. I was living in this place. I

712
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:30.600
Lived years. Can you relate to this guys if you can relate to this give me an amen

713
00:49:30.600 --> 00:49:34.560
Give me a give me a thumbs up that you can relate to what it's look like like

714
00:49:34.560 --> 00:49:38.240
You know what it look what it feels like to live in this orphan illusion

715
00:49:38.560 --> 00:49:41.480
Let me know if you know what if you know that same pain

716
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:46.680
That I went through for years and years and years of feeling

717
00:49:47.120 --> 00:49:52.440
Not enough feeling like there was something intrinsically wrong with me and having my own

718
00:49:53.240 --> 00:49:56.640
Assumptions that I was not good enough endorsed from the pulpit

719
00:49:56.640 --> 00:50:00.200
But see I what all these people would lie to me from the pulpit

720
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.000
and say there was something, there was totally depraved about my identity,

721
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:08.000
there was something about me that was intrinsically defiled and corrupt.

722
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:12.000
Let me know if you can relate to that pain that I had for year

723
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:16.000
after year, struggling with it and not succeeding, struggling

724
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.000
with the sense of shame, and you know what, I wanted freedom, but I was being told

725
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:24.000
that I would always be a sinner, I was being told that I had a sinful nature

726
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:28.000
and you know what, it bound me, it bound me to this orphan illusion.

727
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:32.000
I was told that if you draw near to God, He will draw near to you

728
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:36.000
and that's what I was doing with this attempt

729
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.000
of living my life in the hamster wheel of performance, trying to do enough

730
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:44.000
to be accepted by Him, trying to do enough to be intimate, that intimacy

731
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:48.000
was this prize that was way, way, way off in the horizon

732
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:52.000
and it was realistically in my heart

733
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:56.000
it was something that seemed impossible. This concept of being perfectly loved

734
00:50:56.000 --> 00:51:00.000
by Him was a beautiful prize on the horizon, but it somehow

735
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.000
seemed impossible and unreachable. There was this

736
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:08.000
there was this hope that one day I might be enough

737
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:12.000
as an individual, but because of this contaminating

738
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:16.000
defiling sinful nature I had, it was a far off hope that was probably never

739
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:20.000
going to be possible. So I lived

740
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.000
instead of living with sonship, I lived in this place of constant separation

741
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:28.000
I lived in this place of this darkness of constant shame, this darkness of

742
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:32.000
condemnation, this darkness of isolation, this darkness of secret

743
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:36.000
sins and addictions and defilements alive on the inside

744
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:40.000
of me. I want to say thank you Jesus

745
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.000
when I discovered that the present reality is John 17

746
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:48.000
23, that He has loved us with the same love, that same fiery

747
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:52.000
infinite wonderful love that

748
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:56.000
just burns on full

749
00:51:56.000 --> 00:52:00.000
fire of His love, it burns at full intensity, it always burns at full volume

750
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:04.000
it burns with this infinite dynamic, it's a perpetual

751
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:08.000
burning, a perpetual love. When I discovered John 17

752
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:12.000
23 that I'm as loved as love can be right now, oh my gosh, it helped me transition

753
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:16.000
so it put to death performance based acceptance. The other thing that happened

754
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:20.000
is John 17 22

755
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:24.000
I discovered that I was made in His image, that He's

756
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:28.000
given me the same glory that the Father gave Him. I

757
00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:32.000
discovered, and this is something that for so

758
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:36.000
many Christians, to say that you're perfect is a struggle, to say that you

759
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:40.000
have no sinful nature is a struggle, but I want to say that Psalm 139

760
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:44.000
14 says all His works are wonderful and

761
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:48.000
humility is simply to agree with God my friends, the most humble thing that

762
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:52.000
you could do right now, the most powerful thing that you could do

763
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:56.000
right now is just to come into perfect alignment, perfect agreement

764
00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:00.000
with who Jesus revealed the Father to be, that He is as perfect a Daddy

765
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.000
as there could ever be, that He is as loving a Father, He is

766
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:08.000
an infinite loving Father, an infinite loving

767
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:12.000
which means His love goes on and on and on and it's as strong today

768
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:16.000
as it ever was, His love for you is as strong today as it was before the foundation

769
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:20.000
of the world, when He conceived you in the fire of His love, when

770
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:24.000
out of this burning love that the Trinity had for humanity, when they

771
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:28.000
conceived you out of that, boom, His love is just as strong as ever

772
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:32.000
Now here's something that I want to give away another book

773
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:36.000
I just want to have someone just share, in the comments

774
00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:40.000
just share love encounters that you've had with the Father and just check those out

775
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:44.000
read other people's ones, whichever one has the most likes in a couple of days

776
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:48.000
I'll get in touch with you and I'll send you a beautiful hard copy

777
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:52.000
cover of the book The Good Father, but love encounters

778
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:56.000
oh my gosh, I ended up having thousands of love encounters, thousands of love

779
00:53:56.000 --> 00:54:00.000
encounters, and then this illusion of separation got broken off

780
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:04.000
John 17, 22, I've given them the same glory

781
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:08.000
that the Father gave me, that they may be one as we are one, and I want to tell you

782
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:12.000
that when we embrace the power of humility

783
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:16.000
that simply agrees with the truth

784
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:20.000
now the truth is a present reality, it's John 8, 12

785
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:24.000
in John 8, 12 Jesus says, anyone

786
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:28.000
who follows me will never walk in darkness

787
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:32.000
but they will have the light of life, He starts out saying, I

788
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:36.000
am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk

789
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:40.000
in darkness, but will have the light of life

790
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:44.000
what does he do, he starts out making an identity statement, I am the

791
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:48.000
light of the world, he doesn't geographically go anywhere, he just makes that statement

792
00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:52.000
I am the light of the world, and then after that he says, whoever

793
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:56.000
follows me, and that follow is not a geographical follow

794
00:54:56.000 --> 00:55:00.000
that follow is following Jesus, and thinking about Him

795
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:07.760
self, the same as we think about ourselves. Matthew 5.14 he says, you are the light of the world.

796
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:14.080
This is an identity statement. When we become fully persuaded that we're exclusively defined

797
00:55:14.080 --> 00:55:21.440
by him, when we become fully persuaded that we are the light of the world, we're made from the

798
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:30.160
very same glory that defines the Father, the nature of the divine nature. They shared that

799
00:55:30.160 --> 00:55:35.280
with us. They created us from the divine nature. We're exclusively defined by the Trinity. When we

800
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:43.520
come into agreement with that right now, that you are, listen, you're perfect. You're perfect.

801
00:55:43.520 --> 00:55:48.720
And something that's been so powerful for me in helping to understand this, one is understanding

802
00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:54.160
that humility is simply to agree with God. If he says he made you in his image, then oh my gosh,

803
00:55:54.160 --> 00:55:59.600
you're exclusively defined by him. The other thing that we have an issue with is that we

804
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:07.520
do something that God doesn't do, is that we weld our performance with our identity and we

805
00:56:07.520 --> 00:56:13.680
let our performance define our identity. But I tell you what, God doesn't do that with our

806
00:56:13.680 --> 00:56:20.160
performance. He just doesn't operate like that. That's how it is for him. Your identity is your

807
00:56:20.160 --> 00:56:27.120
identity and your behavior is a separate thing. So for God, your behavior doesn't dictate your

808
00:56:27.120 --> 00:56:33.760
identity. This is really, it's so important because we will never get free from performance-based

809
00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:40.160
identity if we think that our performance influences our identity. Your performance,

810
00:56:40.160 --> 00:56:48.160
my beautiful friend, has nothing to do with your identity. Oh my gosh, if that's good news, give me

811
00:56:48.160 --> 00:56:52.560
a thumbs up that your performance does not, scripturally, biblically, your performance does

812
00:56:52.560 --> 00:56:58.080
not dictate your identity because your identity is a present reality. It's not a shadow that it

813
00:56:58.080 --> 00:57:06.960
comes or goes or changes in any way. Your identity is a present reality. Oh, this is so, so empowering.

814
00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:13.360
Your inclusion, your oneness in the Trinity, it's a present reality. It's as present a reality as the

815
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:21.440
nature of God. Your performance doesn't and cannot impact or change the divine nature.

816
00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:27.040
And just as your performance cannot impact or change the divine nature, your performance cannot

817
00:57:27.040 --> 00:57:32.960
impact or change your own nature. One of the beautiful things that happened in the life of

818
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:45.440
Christ is that He was, He was the fullness of the divine and the fullness of humanity and He welded

819
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:50.880
together humanity with divinity and demonstrated for us that to be fully human is to be fully

820
00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:56.800
divine. We're made in His image. Now the beautiful thing for me that changed everything is I was

821
00:57:56.800 --> 00:58:02.560
making so little progress and I was striving in my own strength. When everything was, when I lived in

822
00:58:02.560 --> 00:58:08.720
this orphan illusion here and everything was about works and my effort and my performance and my

823
00:58:08.720 --> 00:58:16.640
ability to struggle, to wrestle, to pray enough, to do enough, when everything depended on me,

824
00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:24.400
it was a world of darkness and chaos.

825
00:58:25.200 --> 00:58:34.000
I just cannot express enough gratitude or thankfulness, you know, because it also didn't work.

826
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:39.600
You know, when I was in this place, I worked really, really hard and I got no results or very, very few

827
00:58:39.600 --> 00:58:45.280
results. I would, I would strive. It would be like I was on this hamster wheel of performance or like

828
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:50.640
this activity. We used to have the can, we had the bungee cord here and we'd attach and everyone would

829
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:56.480
try, try, try. We would strain, we would give everything we could to get as far away from the tree as possible,

830
00:58:56.480 --> 00:59:01.600
but then eventually the bungee cord always won. Boom! And everyone ended up back, ended up back

831
00:59:01.600 --> 00:59:06.560
at the tree and that was isolation and that was what it was like for me. Just year after year after

832
00:59:06.560 --> 00:59:11.360
year and I would always end up back at the tree. I would always end up in that place of isolation

833
00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:17.680
until I discovered these secrets that enable us to step, to transition, that

834
00:59:17.680 --> 00:59:23.200
that enable us to step, to transition, that the performance-based acceptance doesn't exist

835
00:59:23.200 --> 00:59:28.080
in the heart of the Father. Right now you are as loved, as loved, as loved as you could ever be,

836
00:59:28.080 --> 00:59:36.720
as loved as He has ever loved anyone. That right now you're exclusively defined by the Trinity,

837
00:59:36.720 --> 00:59:41.920
John 17, 22. He's given you the same glory that the Father gave Him and when you discover that,

838
00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:47.680
you step into John 8, 12, that whoever follows me will never walk in darkness. It's a sinless

839
00:59:47.680 --> 00:59:54.240
existence. On top of that, they will have the light of life. That word have in the Greek is

840
00:59:54.240 --> 00:59:58.960
the word echo that it literally means they will, they will echo. It means to hold in the hand,

841
00:59:58.960 --> 00:59:59.760
to possess.

842
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.480
to wear like a garment, and to echo, to resonate.

843
01:00:06.040 --> 01:00:08.040
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,

844
01:00:08.040 --> 01:00:10.960
but will hold in their hands, will wear like a garment,

845
01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:14.520
and will echo the same frequency, the same resonance.

846
01:00:14.520 --> 01:00:16.120
They will have the light of life,

847
01:00:16.120 --> 01:00:18.680
and that Greek word, in closing,

848
01:00:18.680 --> 01:00:22.520
that Greek word life, it's the word zoe,

849
01:00:22.520 --> 01:00:25.620
and it refers to the exact same state of being

850
01:00:25.620 --> 01:00:27.680
as the Trinity, oh my goodness.

851
01:00:27.680 --> 01:00:30.160
That is supposed to be our default setting.

852
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:33.600
When we discover our sonship,

853
01:00:33.600 --> 01:00:36.680
our primary emotion becomes delight,

854
01:00:36.680 --> 01:00:39.480
our default setting becomes seamless union,

855
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:42.160
our default setting becomes excessive,

856
01:00:42.160 --> 01:00:44.720
extravagant amounts of bliss, and ecstasy,

857
01:00:44.720 --> 01:00:49.720
and divine delight, and divine love, oh my goodness.

858
01:00:50.120 --> 01:00:52.440
I step into that place of mature sonship

859
01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:55.680
that looks like the ability, it looks like the ability,

860
01:00:55.680 --> 01:00:59.320
we're so free, we're so vulnerable,

861
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:02.920
we're so known, we're so exposed,

862
01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:06.520
we're just so open that we can live in this place

863
01:01:06.520 --> 01:01:09.520
where we receive divine love perfectly,

864
01:01:09.520 --> 01:01:12.240
and give perfect expression to divine love.

865
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:16.680
Beautiful, my friends.

866
01:01:16.680 --> 01:01:21.000
Well, I just wanna say that it's been an honor

867
01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:23.080

868

and I just feel the presence of God right now.

875
01:01:42.200 --> 01:01:44.480
I can feel divine enablement,

876
01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:46.440
I feel his anointing, his glory,

877
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:47.640
and let's release that.

878
01:01:47.640 --> 01:01:50.200
I wanna pray for you, and then I wanna just,

879
01:01:50.200 --> 01:01:52.280

we've got coming, but let me pray for you right now

914
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:25.920
because I can sense just the nearness

915
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:27.480
and the goodness of the Trinity.

916
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:30.800
So Trinity, right now, I thank you for your anointing.

917
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:32.440
I thank you that it's so present.

918
01:03:33.600 --> 01:03:35.760
I thank you for your anointing right here, right now,

919
01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:39.440
Trinity, that is being released in power

920
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:44.440
to reclaim the image of God and the identity,

921
01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:48.680
the sonship of those that are hearing my voice.

922
01:03:48.680 --> 01:03:51.520
I thank you, Holy Spirit, that by your anointing right now,

923
01:03:51.520 --> 01:03:54.120
there's an anointing to reveal the Father.

924
01:03:54.120 --> 01:03:57.560
Jesus, I thank you that you walked in that capacity,

925
01:03:57.560 --> 01:04:00.040
that anointing, that power to reveal the Father,

926
01:04:00.040 --> 01:04:02.800
and I thank you for releasing that right now.

927
01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:04.920
I thank you for the release of that right now

928
01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:06.600
in your beautiful name, Jesus,

929
01:04:06.600 --> 01:04:09.160
the release of the anointing right now

930
01:04:09.160 --> 01:04:11.120
that reveals the Father.

931
01:04:11.120 --> 01:04:14.240
I thank you for the demonstration of love and power

932
01:04:15.080 --> 01:04:15.920
that reveals the Father.

933
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:18.080
I thank you for that breaking out right now

934
01:04:18.080 --> 01:04:20.000
in the name of Yeshua, Messiah.

935
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:21.160
I thank you for that.

936
01:04:22.080 --> 01:04:23.920
I just thank you that there's signs and wonders

937
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:25.760
and miracles and there's visions and dreams

938
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:27.160
and encounters taking place right now.

939
01:04:27.160 --> 01:04:29.080
So just open your heart wide

940
01:04:29.080 --> 01:04:32.320
because I release right now the manifestation

941
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:35.040
of the love of God that looks like signs and wonders

942
01:04:35.040 --> 01:04:37.920
and miracles, a manifestation of the provision,

943
01:04:37.920 --> 01:04:39.960
a manifestation of the presence,

944
01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:43.040
a manifestation of restoration.

945
01:04:43.040 --> 01:04:45.320
I see a wave of restoration

946
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:47.160
flooding through your heart right now.

947
01:04:47.160 --> 01:04:48.880
I see chains being broken

948
01:04:48.880 --> 01:04:51.000
and shackles being broken right now.

949
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:55.360
I see, what I see is the breath of God being released,

950
01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:57.160
the nearness of his presence.

951
01:04:57.160 --> 01:05:00.080
And I see literally God, I see the essence of God.

952
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.120
I see the substance of God coming upon your life right now.

953
01:05:04.120 --> 01:05:09.160
I see the nearness of God, that glory of God descending, and I just declare encounters

954
01:05:09.160 --> 01:05:14.280
right now, amazing encounters with His presence, and I declare that what I see is His presence

955
01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:20.800
is coming and it just releases breakthrough all around it, like a 360-degree explosion

956
01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:21.880
of breakthrough.

957
01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:22.880
It's Him.

958
01:05:22.880 --> 01:05:24.360
It's His presence.

959
01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:25.360
It's His presence.

960
01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:26.360
It's His presence.

961
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:27.360
It's His presence.

962
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:33.360
I declare Your glory, let Your glory fill, let Your glory flood, let Your glory be released

963
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:34.680
in Your beautiful name.

964
01:05:34.680 --> 01:05:38.400
More, more, more, more, more of You, Lord.

965
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:39.400
More of You.

966
01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:40.400
Wow.

967
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:41.400
Thank you.

968
01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:42.400
Thank you, Papa.

969
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:46.400
I just thank you that there's just, that the need is being supplied right now.

970
01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:49.960
I think that the need, and I see revelation just breaking out.

971
01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:52.760
I see a spirit of wisdom and revelation breaking out.

972
01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:57.080
I see for some people that what their need is, is problems, and I see witty inventions

973
01:05:57.080 --> 01:05:58.080
being released right now.

974
01:05:58.080 --> 01:06:02.760
I just see God releasing the capacity to solve problems being released to people's spirits

975
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:08.040
right now, the capacity to solve problems, and so I just see people that are facing challenging

976
01:06:08.040 --> 01:06:12.680
circumstances and release wisdom from God and witty inventions right now by the Spirit

977
01:06:12.680 --> 01:06:13.680
of God.

978
01:06:13.680 --> 01:06:14.680
That's so strong.

979
01:06:14.680 --> 01:06:19.240
I just declare solving of the problems in Jesus' name through wisdom, supernatural wisdom

980
01:06:19.240 --> 01:06:21.760
and witty inventions in Jesus' name.

981
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:22.760
Restoration.

982
01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:28.320
I see restoration so hugely right now that the kryptonite to these false images of God,

983
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:29.640
the kryptonite, it's just Him.

984
01:06:29.640 --> 01:06:31.080
It's His presence coming.

985
01:06:31.080 --> 01:06:36.040
It's an explosion of love, and I see this baptism of love overshadowing people.

986
01:06:36.040 --> 01:06:40.240
I see people stepping into this new realm of overwhelmed by His love.

987
01:06:40.240 --> 01:06:42.440
Whoa, a new realm of overwhelmed by His love.

988
01:06:42.440 --> 01:06:43.440
I see that glory.

989
01:06:43.440 --> 01:06:48.040
I see a fountain of His glory, a fountain of His love.

990
01:06:48.040 --> 01:06:50.040
Just hear the words like a fondue of love.

991
01:06:50.200 --> 01:06:55.440
Whoa, just this fountain of His love, and I feel it so strong.

992
01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:57.000
Right now, I feel His love so strong.

993
01:06:57.000 --> 01:07:01.640
I feel this huge welling up of the love of the Trinity.

994
01:07:01.640 --> 01:07:03.440
I release it to you right now.

995
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:05.880
I can see it's being poured out.

996
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:09.080
His Spirit's being poured out.

997
01:07:09.080 --> 01:07:11.640
Whoa.

998
01:07:11.640 --> 01:07:22.000
Right now, I just hear the stillness that speaks of oneness, effortless oneness.

999
01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:24.600
This is who you are.

1000
01:07:24.600 --> 01:07:29.000
You are one with the divine nature.

1001
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:33.040
You are one with Him.

1002
01:07:34.040 --> 01:07:40.040
Your beautiful name, Jesus.

1003
01:07:40.040 --> 01:07:43.040
Amen.

1004
01:07:43.040 --> 01:07:47.040
Well, thank you so much for your time.

1005
01:07:47.040 --> 01:07:49.040
We're going on this journey together.

1006
01:07:49.040 --> 01:07:54.040

But may the goodness of God, may His smile, may the beauty of His face overwhelm you.

1012
01:08:17.040 --> 01:08:19.040
May you just live overwhelmed.

1013

That is the state of Sonship, living overwhelmed by His divine love.

1014
01:08:23.040 --> 01:08:29.040
Just washed through, saturated, marinated in a perpetual love baptism.

1015
01:08:29.040 --> 01:08:31.040
You're seamlessly one with Him.

1016
01:08:31.040 --> 01:08:34.040
You're smooshed face-to-face with Him.

1017
01:08:34.040 --> 01:08:41.040
You are dripping ecstasy and bliss and awe and fiery love everywhere you go.
