Hey, guys.
Hello.
Good evening.
I think it's the afternoon probably for a lot of you.
Evening for us.
Yeah.
How's everybody doing?
Are you well?
Are you alive?
Give us a thumbs up.
What's going on in your worlds?
It's amazing to be back with you guys.
It feels like it's been ages on one hand and then not so long on another.
Mm-hmm.
Amazing how time is so relative.
What was the most significant thing you did this week towards your dreams?
Why don't you put that in the comments?
That would be a really good thing just to activate your heart for a minute.
What was the most significant thing that you did towards your dreams in the last seven days?
What was the most significant thing?
That's a good question.
What did I do in the last?
I bought a whiteboard in the last seven days.
Yes, and you wrote down?
I wrote down some dreams and some goals on my whiteboard.
And I also built a funnel for our Enagic people that I'm going to share with our Enagic people.
Rosie hired a coach.
That's awesome.
That is an epic decision.
That is really good.
It's 9 p.m. Tuesday for dawn.
That would mean that you're on central time.
And it is almost knocking off from night shift.
5 a.m. in South Africa.
Wow, I think that one wins.
Glory.
Bless you.
Patience.
And Rosie bought three whiteboards.
She is showing you up.
Oh, wow.
Dawn said she worked on the hundred dreams.
That's very exciting.
Very good.
Nice.
Good stuff.
What else did people do?
Hey, Dorothy.
Good to see you.
Yes, seriously.
You guys are epic.
Jonathan realigned my financial goals and put the necessary priorities ahead of all the desires.
Okay, nice.
Very good.
Good job.
Very good stuff.
Well, hey.
Well, today is a new day.
And even though it's the end of the day, it's a new evening.
And the Lord is good.
And at the end of the day, prosperity comes to those who prosper.
That's a good one for you.
You can sit and think on that one for a little while.
Sit and think on that one.
Sit and think on that one, yeah.
Prosperity comes to those who prosper.
What do I mean by that?
Well, we're going to unpack a little bit of that tonight as we jump in.
And really understand the key components of what does prosperity look like.
And probably, we've done a lot of really good teaching.
There's some good stuff we've talked about.
Really excited about some of the sessions that we've had.
But this time, we're going to get pretty practical on what it looks like to achieve the abundance,
the prosperity, the breakthrough that you're looking for.
This is going to be nitty-gritty.
We're going to do some activations.
We're going to do some thinking through some things.
Some of this stuff, you'll know.
And that's good.
Some of it, you maybe won't know.
And that's also good.
But I'm excited.
Tonight's going to be good.
Yeah.
I want to talk about what it looks like to be aligned.
With your dreams, your desires, the things.
The more alignment that you can have, the more success you are going to have.
You know, you can write a lot of things on your whiteboard.
But if you're not actually aligned with them, if you don't work through your heart alignment,
they're probably not as likely to happen.
That's true.
So, well, let's open up in prayer and see what the Lord wants to do.
And then jump right into it.
So, posture yourself to receive.
Father, we love you.
We love your mercy.
We love your goodness.
We love your tangible presence in our lives.
And God, just like Brother Lawrence wrote, we choose to lean in every moment for your love.
And God, every word that comes out of our mouths, every thing that's written on faith.
Facebook, Lord, I pray today that your love, your love,
excuse me, would be the center of our attention. And we would
choose to even do this teaching for your love, God, we surrender
to your love, we yield to your love, we yield to your love,
Lord. Just just sit in that moment for a second, God, we
yield to your love. We're not yielding to a God of anger,
we're yielding to his love, to his goodness, to his mercy. And
so Lord, as we as we do that, pour out your mercy brought your
goodness, brought your favor, your blessing, your absolute
abundance over everything. Thank you for your favor that changes
things. Your favorite that walks into a room and radically moves
in every situation. Come Holy Spirit. We welcome you Lord. To
do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask or
imagine. Thank you. Thank you. Good presence. Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus. How many of you know that Jesus is the
reason for the season, all of the seasons. It's not just a
Christmas thing. It's not just for Christmas. He is the reason
for the season all of the seasons every season. Thank you
Lord. You are the reason for our season. You're the reason for
our abundance. You're the reason for our prosperity. You're the
reason for our favor, for our breakthrough. You're the one who
does exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or imagine.
Every time above what we could think. Jesus name. Thank you
Lord.
Okay, here's some here's some truth for you. Okay? You are
only going to receive what you're aligned with in the
spirit. You're only going to receive what you're aligned with
in the spirit. What does that mean? If you're aligned with
Jesus, if your agreements are for the fullness of Jesus to be
your reward, you're going to receive Jesus. His majesty is
attracted to people who are in alignment with him. He leans in
in a profound way. Now, I'm not saying that you're ever separate
that there's separation ever. If you're a believer in Yeshua,
you've been granted the privilege of eternal and
separate no more separation from the father, the son, and the
Holy Spirit. There is a continual perpetual bliss of
being connected to the father heart all the time 24 seven
every single second and millisecond of the day. There's
no separation between you and God in this lifestyle, right? And
so if your hunger and you're in alignment and agreement with
that truth, if you have an alignment and an agreement with
that truth, you're going to experience that every second of
every day of your life. And that coming into alignment with the
truth of that he is the fulfillment of everything that
you long for in every area of your life, then you're going to
experience him in every area of your life. If you believe that
he is not the fulfillment of your life in every area and say
let's just because we're talking about money. If you believe that
Jesus isn't the total fulfillment of the extravagant
financial dreams that you have in your heart, you're not going
to get the alignment that Jesus wants to have for you because
there's a grace that comes through the father heart of God
inside alignment that releases prosperity into every situation
that's why in third John talks, John himself is writing to some
people and he says, God, I pray that you would prosper even as
your soul prospers. What does that mean? That when your soul
is prospering, when you're firing on all cylinders, you're
filled with grace, you're walking in abundance, clear mind, full
heart, connected soul, your mind, will and emotions are
rolling and tracking and doing great things for the kingdom of
God. And when you hit that place of prosperity, Paul and John is
praying, God, I pray that they would prosper in their life as
their souls prosper, as there's an alignment in their souls for
prosperity and abundance and breakthrough and abundant life
that looks like healed hearts, that looks like sound minds that
looks like clear, not
foggy minds, it looks like whole emotions. When you hit that alignment, when you hit
the alignment of that place, God, I pray that you would prosper them. God, that you
would pour out abundant blessings upon their life, that they cannot refuse or
cease to imagine the glories that are happening, okay? Does that make sense?
Yep. You got anything in there? Just that when we are in alignment with God,
ourselves and others, we can function just as we were created to. That there is
a beauty in how God created us to function in alignment with God,
ourselves, and others. It's a beautiful thing. Yeah, that beauty of abundance and
alignment actually creates a fruit that changes things, right? And there's like a
slipstream inside of that, that alignment, you know? We go to the
chiropractor to have our spines aligned so that all the parts of our body are
getting what they need, are connected, are flowing from the head to our feet. And
so it makes a big difference for our nerves that come out and go into all of
the parts of our body. If that alignment is not happening, then there's gonna be
life, literal life, cut off from parts of our body that need it, and we function
the same way. And that really all of that happens inside of yielding, you know?
Inside of your prayer, when you were talking about, you know, yielding to love,
it was like the presence just grew and grew and grew. Because it's not that we
just even welcomed more love, we yielded to love. It's already there. And so it's
about the awareness level we have. Like Seb said, we're never separated, but we
can be unaware. And it's our level of awareness, it's our how heightened are we
to his presence, to his love, to his goodness, to... Yeah, I think a lot of
alignment just looks like yielding. Totally. Yeah, and I think, you know, as we enter
into this conversation, right, when we talk about the yielding to the spirit of
wealth, and yielding to the wealth that he wants to release, that looks like
finance, it looks like money, but it also looks like favor, it looks like abundance,
it looks like whole healed hearts, it looks like... Relationships. Yeah, relationships.
Your wildest dreams being unfolded. You know, one of the things that we're
entering into in this season right now is, God, show us the... Right here,
where we are in San Diego, God, show us the relationships that we are meant to
receive through the alignment that you have for us. Align us in your heart for
the relationships that you have for us. And as we step into that, a big part of
our process has been, okay, Lord, we yield to your spirit of wealth, we yield to
your spirit of goodness, we yield to your mercy that breaks forth exactly what was
needed for us in the season. And so, you know, we, in the context of wealth, in the
context of dreams, in the context of breaking forward on all the things that
God has, there is a massive breakthrough that happens when we get aligned.
But I think, you know, if we're going to break it down and get really practical,
when we start to... We know that it's true, right? It's true when you're in alignment
with the Father, when you pray what the Father is praying, there is an immediate
release of what God wants to do. Things shift, things change when God enters
into the room. I don't know if you've ever experienced, but when dominion opens
up, when a realm of dominion opens up and you get to decree a thing and it happens
immediately, there's a profound grace that you get to experience when you do that.
That's the level of empowerment that God has for us, the authority that he has.
But when it's that alignment that creates dominion. Alignment, let me say that
again, alignment creates dominion in the spirit realm. And so when we're in totally
in tune with what the Father is saying and what we're saying and believing for,
that's when dominion is released. And it happens immediately. And so much to the
point where I've almost started saying, like, obviously there's a time to wait and
there's a time to receive, but there's almost this place that I'm starting to
experience in the Lord. When there's an immediate alignment and I know and you
have that sense of just dominion.
where things are happening, and God is saying it, and it's now, and that you know that place,
there's an immediate release of breakthrough in that moment, because God is actually attracted
to action.
He's not sitting up there just waiting for you to, I mean, He does do all kinds of things,
but He's not actually looking for just whatever to happen.
He knows exactly what's going to happen, but He's looking for people to align with His
heart and align with His decree over nations, over systems, over structures, over our businesses,
over our bank accounts, over our relationships, our families, our cities, our regions.
God is looking for a prophetic, apostolic people to come into an alignment with who
He is and what He's saying, and partner in decree with His decree that breaks the yoke
over cities and nations.
God is looking to do that.
He is actively searching to and fro across the earth, looking for people to step into
the gap and say, I will engage with what God is saying in this season.
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living in this season.
God, I will see what you are doing in this season manifest because I know that this is
what you're saying.
And I think the problem is not always hearing what God is saying, because we can know what
God is saying, it's actually having our heart get into alignment with what God is saying.
That's the hard part.
And that's where we have to crack the code, right?
Not just can I verbally or mentally assent to what God is saying, but can I in my heart
of hearts agree that this is who God is in alignment with what He's saying?
Yeah.
Right?
And so the conversation we want to have is, how do you know the difference between what
you're mentally assenting to and to what is actually going on in your heart?
How aware of your heart are you is the question of what you really believe.
And the real question on that is, are you willing to be honest with yourself if you
actually don't have the faith for the breakthrough that you're looking for?
Yeah.
Or you don't believe.
Sometimes in the honesty we have to find out what we really think, not what we think we
think.
I think we can project that we think a lot of things, or hopefully want to think a lot
of things.
But what do we really think?
And sometimes talking about money, for example, is a huge part of what do we really think
about money?
What do we really feel about money?
You know, when someone talks about money, what do we really think?
What do we really feel?
And that's something the Lord's really been speaking to me a lot about, is the breakthrough
that comes with honesty, when we can really find out what we really think, so that then,
because we need to be able to change how we think, right?
To change our lives, to change the world.
So if we know what we think, then we can actually begin the process to change what we think
to align with God.
And the whole time that you were talking, it's like I just saw this conduit coming from
heaven to earth, and God's looking to and fro for a people that are in such alignment
that it's just that slipstream, and He can just come straight through our lives.
There's no hindrance, there's nothing in between, it's just easy.
And I just felt this, like so much joy of the Lord over like, yes, it's that simple.
And I want my people to decree a thing, and I want them to see it happen.
And I want that to be a regular expression, not pleading, not crying out, not, you know,
all those things have their place, of course, but contending, but I just feel like, yeah,
more than ever, He's really excited about people understanding that alignment and wholeness
and connection, spirit, soul, and body, that allows for that to happen.
Totally.
Take it right back to the garden, right?
This is what happened.
You know, Jesus, the Spirit of the Lord, God Himself, is walking with man, and Adam and
Eve in the garden.
You know, Eve listens to the lie of the serpent, and goes and grabs an apple from the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil, and then hands it to her husband, both are at fault,
it all happened.
The things, but here's, if you break it down, here's what's really happened.
Eve started to believe something that was out of alignment with what God was
saying and what God had released as truth and it's the most favorable
situation for her and she partners herself in alignment with the serpent
and as she does that, that agreement shifts things and so the entire course
of humanity goes on this tilt that comes out of alignment. It's no longer in
alignment with what who God is and what he's saying over the situation over the
garden that he said that it's good to eat from the trees of the field except
for the knowledge of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So he there's
this misalignment now in Eve's heart that creates you're like you're not
really there yet like in because of what the serpent said. So Eve is like trying
to figure out oh I'm not connected enough to God so because I'm not like
God and because of what the serpent is lying to her and saying you're not
enough, you're not there yet, you're not that ready for it. You have to get into
alignment by eating this tree. You have to get into alignment with God by eating
the fruit of this tree. The truth is she was already in alignment with the
Father, right? We know that. That's why God said right at the beginning multiply
and have dominion over the earth. It's time for you to be that that that's what
it looks like. Have dominion. Make babies. Multiply. Go and do this is the fruit of
humanity. Go and create. Go and be human is to create, right? And then in that
place this misalignment happens. All of a sudden we're getting into this place
where like Eve's trying to get an alignment that she already has. So she's
actually going out of her alignment in order to get into the place where she is
but she didn't know the truth. She forgot the truth that she was already aligned,
right? Now the opposite is also true. If we're not aligned and we're like believe
that we are aligned and nothing's happened, then we can get frustrated and
think God why is this not working? You're not working on my behalf. You're not
doing anything for me. Into this place of bitterness and resentment and anger
against God. God I'm not doing this when honestly most of the time there's
actually not a rested place of security and belief that God is for me in this
area. He's not left me behind. He knows what he's doing and that that's part of
the the misalignment. Yeah there's just like a kink in the hose. Yeah. So there's
no flow and instead we just need to ask simply what is what is blocking the flow?
What belief, what lie, what pain, what what thing is blocking it? Yeah and so I
think in that place you know to get to start to get really practical, it's
really important to get really clear on what you are actually dreaming about.
Because when you start to get into the dream of what God has put inside of you
and let it cultivate something inside of you, you'll start to feel what you're
meant to feel. So let's just take a moment right? Bring before to the
forefront of your mind the most vulnerable dream that you have inside of
your heart right now. Okay whatever that is. Okay it could be 10k months, it could
be getting married, it could be having kids, it could be being a writer.
Totally it could be it could be anything. Bring that just bring that desire in
in front of you and before the Lord right now. Just do that and when you do
that I want you to notice the feelings that you feel. Now when you do this what
as you're feeling this as you step into this moment, don't think oh I've got to
figure out what I've got to feel or I have to tell them the right thing. Don't
try to process it. Just feel the emotion and let that honesty and that emotion
lead you somewhere. Okay emotions are good things. I don't know what anybody's
told you about emotions but emotions are good things. They are indicators of what
going on inside. Okay now if you feel angry and frustrated about when you
present that dream that's okay. It's actually okay for you to feel frustrated
at the dream. It's okay for you to feel really excited about the dream. It's okay
for you to feel like there's this honest place inside of you that's like I don't
know that I have the ability to achieve that or I don't think it's possible or I
don't have enough money to see that happen or I'm not qualified enough or
I'm not ready enough or it's not my season you know. Right that's never gonna happen.
I think in Christian culture we have
empowered
this big bad devil so much that he is almost all-powerful in our midst, right?
We think that honestly sometimes what's going on is it's just the enemy trying
to tell you that you're not good enough and there's all these lies and accuse
you of the brethren as a real thing, but honestly most of the time it's not
actually the the accuser of the brethren that's stopping us from engaging with
our dreams. It's actually that you don't believe inside of you that you're
enough because you've never really believed that you're enough to achieve
that dream. Or you finally have the initial breakthrough to be able to have
the expectation of radical goodness is going to invade my life through this
dream. That's possible too. The honest emotion that you're feeling is the
honest emotion, and as you feel that, as you step into that, as you let
that be okay, the honesty of that is what's going to start stepping you on
the journey to say, well God, if this is a negative thing, then show me what the
truth is that I need to believe and go on the chiropractic adjustment of
resetting exactly what is needed to be able to believe that you've got what it
takes. If it's a really good thing, that's awesome. Let's really celebrate
that and lean into that and let the emotion lead you into what God's doing.
But yeah, I lost my train of thought. What you got?
Yes, just talking about acting in spite of fear is really what what I was
thinking about next. It's just the fact that, you know, there's never going to be
a better day to do the things that we're called to or that we want to see happen.
I think it always involves stepping out when it's messy, when we don't really
know what we're doing. Yeah, and I think it is so important that in the midst of
that, that we're visualizing our success even in that fear. You know, really
visualizing the picture of what God was saying. We've been talking about
visualizing, and I think, you know, we actually have the power, kind of a
new-agey term, but to manifest the things that we focus on. And so if we focus on,
like what you're saying, the giants, the devil, the, you know, things that we have
to overcome to be able to get there, then those things become bigger. But when we
actually can step back, and I think kind of, you know, where we started off
tonight, when you're in that yielded place, when you're yielded to love, to me
there's just a tremendous amount of peace and rest and, like, grace that just,
like, quiets my heart enough to be in tune, to be moving at the pace of the
Lord, to be rested, that actually allows me to start to visualize myself the way
that he sees me doing the things that are my dreams, the things that I'm made
to be doing, and it just becomes easy, becomes that slipstream, because I'm
yielded to love. I'm at rest with myself, I'm at rest with God, I'm at rest with
the dream, and it just feels natural. I'm sure you all know who Jeremy Riddle is,
the worship leader, and I just always remember him talking about somebody
asking him once, you know, what's it like to be Jeremy Riddle, you know, because
you're this famous, kind of, like, celebrity worship pastor, almost, kind of
thing, and he was just like, it's just me, like, being me, you know, like, this is
this is just me, this is not, that's not how I feel about it, you know, this
is just the space I was created to fill, and so this is me filling my space and
manifesting what I always knew that I was born to do, and so I just
think, yeah, it's amazing when you can get in that sweet place of alignment and
yielding, and just experience that, that ease of stepping into the things that
that you're dreaming of doing. Totally, and it starts with being honest with
what's going on, what your dream is, where you're at, and then
building the pathway to that. You know, I've said this before on
this series, you know, I had an encounter with Christopher Luxon a
number of years ago, where he told me that he wouldn't hire ministry people
because they weren't willing to do goals, they weren't willing to make plans, they
weren't willing to make it really clear what they wanted, and go after it, and
boldly step in with power and conviction. He's a Christian man, you know, he
believes in Jesus, he is a faithful man of faith.
God and yet he literally he said to me I wouldn't hire you as a ministry person
because like people like you don't know how to set goals okay well that was the
wet fish to the face that I didn't know that I needed to really get to see the
breakthrough that we really want to see like honestly you gotta get building a
plan getting a goal step by step don't try to chunk off more than you can chew
but step step in practically figure out how to step in practically to the dream
so for example yeah you know it starts with visual visualization like what
Claire is talking about but then you've got to step in and so like so say for
example Thomas said before it's something about something about paying
off a major debt that's amazing so so think about think about let's just say
your goal is paying off a major debt right and let's just for arguments they
say that it's $10,000 right if you know if you can visualize the feeling of
writing the last check of the payment and sending it off to the bank or
putting the last payment through on your banking app to make sure the last
payment goes off or or walking into the car dealership with the check to say
this is the last here's my last payment I'm finally debt-free if you can imagine
yourself doing that you'll find the motivation to do it you'll find the plan
you'll find the open door you'll find every step that you need and if you can
sit inside of it and visualize and make it yours already by faith by faith we
walk not by sight by faith we walk if you can step into that dream by faith
you will be willing to risk whatever it takes in order to get to where you're
meant to be right if it if your goal is 10k months for example $10,000 a month
if that's your goal if you can imagine seeing your bank account be filled with
$10,000 every single month and knowing what that would feel like and manifest
and be like and impact your life knowing the amount of things that you'd be able
to have access to the amount of money you'd have be able to save money you'd
be able to give the amount of money you'd be able to work and do the fun
things that you've always wanted to do with like if you can imagine that and
step in with that visualization like that's that's where you where you're
going to start you exactly yeah let it motivate so often you know as Christians
I think we can stop with almost leaving it almost open-ended or in God's hands
you know we have that we might write on our whiteboard that we want to be
millionaires but it's like how are we letting how are we placing a demand on
that in our lives you know how are we stepping into it in a way and and I
think getting really honest you know if that's the real honest dream if God's
put that in your heart to be a millionaire for whatever reason you want
to be a millionaire whatever however that motivates you I think getting
honest with with what is it in your heart that is a big enough dream that's
a vulnerable enough dream because I always remember one of your favorite
things you said from Bethel that you learned about that the most true
vulnerability is actually sharing your most like audacious dream with people
like that's the most vulnerable not your sin not the bad things you've done not
you know you're something that skeleton it could be in your closet like the
actual real vulnerable of all vulnerable is sharing I want to be a
millionaire you know like a lot of people might not take that very well in
a lot of circles but I think when we can actually connect our heart to in
alignment to a valid enough dream like a real dream like one that actually like
whoo that's real like I really want that like I'm almost scared how much I want
that I think that kind of honesty is the only honesty that is going to move
us and I think the world gets that right like the world doesn't have a problem
with that you know like they don't have a problem with that they there's no like
moral code inside of you know that we've kind of made up that says like that's
holy and that's not holy and that's oh I don't know should I want that am I
allowed to want that like the mess of that you know they don't have that it's
like yeah I want that you know I want a Lamborghini just because I want a
Lamborghini if that's enough for me to like find something inside of myself to
move myself enough that I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get to that that is
a beautiful thing worthy of being celebrated like and I just think that's
you know where we really have to get that kind of honesty that's that's gonna
move us to do bold things you know we when we were moving here to move to San
Diego you know we didn't
know where we were gonna land. We had come off kind of a crazy missionary
season being all over the world like we said having like no money coming in and
the Lord was you know sustaining us but we we had a lot of dreams in our heart a
lot of things we wanted we wanted a place to a nice place to live we want
you know start a family like all these kind of things and it was like placing
this demand on the things inside of our life that actually opened up something
that was absolutely impossible for us to have and we wouldn't have had it if we
didn't place that kind of demand on it you know we've done we've done wild
things like we we drove across the entire United States with our with a
U-Haul truck full of our stuff before we had a number one signed the lease to
the place that we are living now to had the money to be able to pay for the
lease once signed moved our entire life across the country like what were we
doing but it was like we just knew and by faith we did it and it was like
there's something about things happening when we place that kind of demand on
them that like if they don't happen like Peter walking on the water right like
that was a serious demand of his faith with God that he could that Jesus was
allowing him to do that yeah and I think sometimes we just aren't taught that you
know it really is risk like it really is that that kind of demand that kind of
longing attaching ourself that much to a desire God actually wants us to want
something enough that it motivates us to change yeah yeah John Wimber used to say
all the time you know faith is spelled r-i-s-k risk faith is spelled by taking
a risk you know and as we do that you're you stepping in with your plan with your
goal with your dream with what God's put inside your heart and alignment if you
get an alignment with that dream and that desire and that whole vision of
what God's put inside of your heart the things will start to break open and it
will break open in a place of action because it'll it'll happen in the
context of action it'll happen in the context of a plan that has step-by-step
goals in order to be able to achieve what God wants is put inside of you to
achieve you know the things things don't have just happen without action you know
faith without deeds is dead but you actually have to enter into the faith
first right for us it was faith that led us to believe that God was going to make
it happen to for us if we stepped in and went across the country to sign a lease
you know we were driving on a four or five day road trip and we were driving
across Texas in the middle of nowhere Texas signing a lease on our iPhones
because you know we'd already left Alabama we were driving from Alabama to
San Diego and we you know we were halfway through our trip but we left
with all of our stuff we had did our storage unit just like Claire said and
moved all the way across the country it was the faith that gave us permission to
take the risk and to do it but it was the doing it and getting in the truck
putting all of our stuff in and leaving Alabama without a lease sign it without
the money to do it that actually broke open the miracle right all the way to
the point where we got there and we didn't have it until we actually got to
our place after signing the lease and we didn't have the cash until the next day
to be able to make it happen like that's an uncomfortable level of risk but
inside the alignment of what God has said anything is possible and so things
happen things moved things shifted things broke open because there was a
continual manifestation of the glory of God pushing into every circumstance
through the alignment in faith of the dream of the desire of the the unction
of God to go and step into this promise like this is that's what happened yeah
and we had words you know it was it was stepping out on our dreams and our
desires but they had also been confirmed by God you know he had put in our heart
some of the things so we were really standing on you know you said like this
is who you are not only is this your nature as a father who you are but that
that you you have given us permission to believe that this is who you want to be
for us and that you you know
One of the main words we were stepping out on was expansion.
You know, that's what he was really saying
in moving us here.
You know, we were maybe gonna be moving somewhere else
to actually somewhere in Florida.
Was it Florida?
No.
South Carolina.
South Carolina, not Florida.
But we were gonna be moving somewhere else
and it was not gonna ask anything of us.
Like it was gonna be easy, there was no expansion,
there was not a ton of risk.
I mean, we were gonna be moving somewhere new
and you know, things like that.
But as far as like placing a demand
on anything inside of us to expand or stretch
and so it was really, you know,
some of the reason that we ended up moving here
was because it was that, it was expansion.
There was no possibility of us staying
exactly where we were, how we were financially
and so many other aspects of our life
to be able to actually be here.
And that's been, you know,
in all honesty, a very uncomfortable process
but very rewarding to start to see some of the results
that we've really been pressing in for
and in process for for a very long time.
And we still have so many more dreams
that we're pressing in for and that will never stop.
You know, the day that we become millionaires
because I'm declaring that, you know,
it's not gonna stop.
Like that's, it's not like that's,
oh, there, we got it, you know?
Like we're gonna continue to step out on that water
and do impossible things.
God will do exceedingly and abundantly more
than you could ask for, think for and imagine.
That includes what you can dream for
and come up with in your special time with God.
Like you definitely, yep, Rosa, you're absolutely right.
You definitely grow quick when you step in
when it's uncomfortable and sometimes in fear.
Yeah.
And so that place of honesty of like I'm afraid
is actually a good thing to be honest about.
Yeah.
You never stay there even in spite of feeling it,
but you do have to be honest
with the fact that you're afraid.
And I think like that's sometimes a missing piece
in the journey that people don't communicate
is that like if you're afraid of your dreams,
you're on the right track.
If you're not afraid of your dreams,
you're not on the right track
because your dream isn't big enough.
Your dream doesn't scare you,
then you don't have a big enough dream.
God said to me like a couple weeks ago,
he said, if you were, I had $10 million in six months,
would you be ready for it?
And honestly, it freaked me out
because I didn't feel like I'm ready for $10 million.
Like what would I do with $10 million?
Now, I've had a lot of time to process that
and I know a little bit more.
I feel a little bit differently about that now.
I feel a little bit differently about that.
I feel more about like, okay, God, like this,
there's actually some potential to this dream
as it manifests and takes place
and things moving and shaping and taking place
to be, what would it look like
if you had $10 million in your bank account?
Or I hope it's not just sitting in a bank account
and you have $10 million,
but what would that look like?
Would you, if you had the net worth of a 10 million,
10 millionaire, how do I say?
If you had a net worth of 10 million?
That's it.
Thank you, thank you.
If that's what you had, like what would your life look like?
Can you imagine it?
Can you live inside of it?
Are you willing to step into it for the sake of that?
And what would you be stewarding?
You know, I mean, that's, I think,
the better question in that place
because it's not ever really about money.
It's about what we're stewarding, right?
Because it's like, what are you stewarding?
What does that look like?
What does my life look like?
If I have $10 million, what am I stewarding?
Because chances are I'm not the same person I am right now.
I'm stewarding, I'm at levels of authority,
levels of responsibility, levels of, you know,
I have access now to people
that I never had access to before.
Like, you know, there's so many pieces to it
that's obviously not about money.
It's not about money, really.
You know, it's about what am I able to steward?
What do I get to steward?
What room do I get to be in?
What conversation do I now get to be in?
Like, these are the things that excite me.
When I like just think about having a lot of money,
it really does, it just freaks me out.
But when you're at that place,
it's like the Jeremy Riddle thing, right?
Like, there was one time he was just a kid
playing his guitar in his room, dreaming of that.
And when he, you know, quote unquote, arrived,
he was still just him, right?
Because it wasn't about being that.
That was actually serving who he is as a person.
And so it's like, when we get to move to those levels,
it's actually, if you can think about it,
serving who you are as a person.
Because the more money you have
just actually makes you more of whatever you already are.
That's the scary thing about money, right?
Like, that can be good, that can be really bad.
Yeah, that's a good point, Claire.
I think it's worth bringing that up, right?
Because if you're-
If your character isn't able to sustain $10 million, it'll destroy you.
It will. Absolutely.
You will be destroyed. And I mean this as a friendly, fatherly, loving rebuke.
If you just want $10 million because you want $10 million and you don't have a plan for it,
and you're not going to be served by the Lord in having $10 million,
it doesn't mean it won't happen, but it does mean that you will not serve the world effectively
with that $10 million that you could do if you're willing to yield to the character and the nature of Christ.
Only a truly—this is why Jesus said himself,
it is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom than for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle.
Now, some people misunderstand the Scripture out of context
because the eye of a needle is an actual place and a camel could actually walk through it.
It's a very small gate in Jerusalem,
but the only way for a camel to walk through there was for the camel to take off all of its baggage.
So it couldn't take any— And get all the way down on its big legs and just like crawl through.
So the camel could do it. It's possible.
Jesus wasn't saying it's impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom.
He's saying you've got to leave everything behind.
And that means not you don't have money.
It means in your heart, your positions, what you're carrying, what you're aligned with.
Are you going to be yielded and aligned with the King of Kings when you have that or are you going to not be?
That's the real question before the kingdom.
Wealthy person is where is the alignment of heaven?
Where is the growth going? Where is your—exactly, Dorothy, what vision are you stewarding?
Where is your character? And what's honestly going on inside of you?
What is the real alignment? Because yes, vision.
Yes, plan. Yes, goal. Yes, dream. Yes, all of it, right?
But what is the structure internally? What is the alignment inside of you?
What is the agreement that's in your heart about money, about truth, about your heart, about the favor of God?
That's what's going to sustain the wealth when it comes.
Nothing else. Your Christ-like character and its ability to be yielded to the Father is what's going to sustain you.
So when I heard Patricia King say this the other day,
your anointing will take you places that your character is not ready for.
Now, there's a sobering thought to wrap up our time.
It's that. Your anointing, even your anointing for wealth—
So that deal there.
Your anointing for wealth—and I'm reminding myself this because it's important.
I really need to hear that. I needed to hear that.
Your anointing for wealth will take you places that your character can't sustain.
And so the question becomes, where is your character?
Where is your alignment? Where is your soul alignment that I talked about right at the beginning?
John said, I pray that you would prosper even as your soul prospers.
Translation, where are you walking in character with the Father that's stewarding the breakthrough for the nations,
that's stewarding the breakthrough for your own heart?
Yeah.
I read this morning—was it this morning? Yesterday.
I think it was last night. Just reading through Ephesians,
reading through the list of things that God says is impure in the New Testament, not the Old Testament.
Go read the impurity list in the New Testament.
Ask yourself, is there anger? Is there strife? Is there frustration? Is there calloused hearts?
Is there idolatry? Is there desire for money above the desire for the spirit of wealth?
Because that's where we get into trouble.
So we—I feel like we've rambled a lot and we've talked a lot about some really good things.
But my heart and our heart to you in all of this is this.
What you are willing to be in alignment with is what will manifest in your life.
And my question to you is, are you willing to yield to the spirit of the Lord,
the spirit of wealth, the spirit of wisdom?
Are you willing to yield to have a Christ-like character? Are you willing to go on the journey?
to remove all the baggage of the world, step in to the goodness of the Father,
and yield to His character. At the end of the day, nobody cares if you're anointed or have a million dollars.
They do care if you have character. Character disciples nations.
Traditions fulfill disciples nations through people filled with character.
And if you're stepping in, if you really want wealth, and you really want to do it the kingdom way,
never forsake the question of character.
No, I mean, I think going back to the Beatitudes is a really good place to camp out as well in that place,
because it's just sobering to remember the things that are character, the things that please God.
You know, blessed are the poor in spirit. You know, that's not poor in your bank account,
but it is poor in spirit, no matter how much you have in your bank account.
And you can be a billionaire and be poor in spirit.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
It's possible.
For sure.
The meek inherit the earth.
Yeah, that's a good one.
The people who are meek inherit the earth.
That usually means, to me, people that are willing to wait for God to give it to them,
then taking it themselves.
Like, that's the meek to me.
It's the people who take the back of the line because they know it's not their time,
and they actually are willing to be in that space because they know when it is their time,
Jesus is going to give them the place that they're meant to have at the table.
And they're not going to take that place.
They're not going to fight for it.
That's the meek.
It means you know your season, you know your alignment, you know your times,
and you are okay with taking the back of the line
because you know your day is going to come when Jesus takes you from the back of the line.
And it will always be better than you think when Jesus is doing something.
Always.
It will always be better than you think.
It will always look like something greater than what you could understand in the season.
Because if you could fully understand Him, it probably isn't God.
I have drank a lot of water.
I'm very thirsty.
I'm very thirsty right now.
Yeah, I have a very big drink bottle.
Yeah, we have matching ones.
From Costco.
If you're in America, get yourself a Costco membership.
They should pay me.
Okay, we've gone way too long.
But there's been some good stuff.
I love you guys.
Really excited for you.
There's some major announcements coming this week with raising royalty.
Some really cool stuff with the Enagic system.
If you guys are in the Enagic team, there's some really cool announcements coming along
that I'll probably do.
It'll probably be Thursday, my time.
It's a Friday, New Zealand time, that we'll really get to this.
And we will see the breakthrough of the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
There's some really cool announcements.
Benji's working on some really epic resources for you for sharing, raising royalty.
Yes, Dorothy, I am drinking.
Oh, yes.
I am drinking Kangen water.
9.5.
You better believe it.
Woo!
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
9.5, baby.
That's where it's at.
Good stuff.
And the raising royalty, Benji's releasing some major, major cool resources for you guys
that are coming down the line this week.
I think he's doing a session Thursday.
So that actually could be tomorrow.
Tomorrow for you guys, I think, if I have that right.
The Enagic stuff is coming down the line.
If you need breakthrough in sales for Enagic, please reach out to me directly.
We can connect on that.
And I'm really excited about what God's doing in the world as well.
We, you know, over the next couple of months, you're going to see some major breaking forth
over your life and over your business.
I believe that we just prophesy in the name of Jesus the alignment of heaven over your
businesses, over your bodies, your souls, your spirit.
And God, I pray, I pray, I pray that raising royalty affiliates would be known as people
filled with character, marked by character, by the fruit of the spirit, by love, goodness,
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, mercy, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,
all the fruits of the spirits and the extra ones I threw in there.
God, we welcome your mercy.
I love mercy.
I feel like I'm just on this track with mercy right now.
It just keeps coming up in our prayers.
Maybe it should be.
Bless the Lord. God, we thank you for mercy. God, I just pray for mercy. Mercy, mercy,
mercy, mercy in every heart, over every life. God, we just pray right now that your presence
would cover them in mercy, that you would meet them in the merciful place, God, that
you would open doors that they could never imagine, and that you would sustain the character
inside their hearts for such a season as this, for such a time as this, God, that you would
establish. God, I'm asking you right now, would you step in? Would you step into their
lives? Would you give them permission to yield to your presence, to yield to your Christ-like
nature? God, we yield right now. We say, God, we want to be like you. We don't want to be
like our ideas of what you are. We want to be like you are. We want to be the kind, goodness,
merciful Father that you are. We want to be that to the world, God. We want to represent
you well. We want to have dominion and authority like you had, power. And God, as Paul prayed
for the church of Ephesus, he said, I pray that you would have power to know how deep,
how wide, how long, and how high the love of Christ is. God, so I pray that they would
have power to know that. God, I pray that there would be a breakthrough spirit of power
right now over them for the sake of understanding the depth, the width, the height, and the
breadth of love all over their lives. God, that power would sustain the building of character
in their lives. God, let them be people marked by purity, marked by power, walking in abundance,
stepping in with the spirit of wealth for the sake of the nations. God, these are the
people we need. God, pour out your spirit on these people, these ones, the ones who
are willing to say yes to character, yes to wealth, yes to mercy, yes to the goodness
of God, and yes to the abundance of heaven all at the same time, God, because you are
the spirit of wealth, and you are the spirit of wisdom, and you are the spirit of the fear
of the Lord, and you are the glory of the Lord. And so God, we just welcome you to do
exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask, think, or imagine in their lives. In
Jesus' name, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
Yeah, God, I thank you for your presence. I thank you for your peace. I feel like so
much of your spirit of revelation has been here tonight, your peace, your presence, just
that slip string, your love that we yielded to in the beginning. God, I just thank you
for the manifestation of your presence with us right now, and I just release that to everyone
watching, God, in abundance, that it would just begin to mark your lives and not leave
your lives and mark everything that you do with his presence, that it's really his presence
that changes things. You know, Moses said that if your presence doesn't go with us,
how will they know that we're yours? And so it's your presence that changes everything.
It's the marker of us being your people, that you are with us. And so we thank you for your
presence, God. We honor your presence, and we thank you that you're here and that you're
in this conversation, that you are in this wealth conversation, God, that it's exciting
in this season because you're in it. And I keep hearing it everywhere. So I just, I bless
that, I bless what you're doing in people's lives, and I just feel like I keep hearing
the scripture, like, don't get weary in doing good. For in due season, you will reap a harvest.
So good. I don't know, I'm always so bad at where things are, but just, yeah, the scripture
of don't be weary in doing good. I feel like that's really what the Lord wants to encourage
my heart with and everybody else's heart with, that there can be a weariness in doing good
in the process of building character, in being meek, and all of these things that have process
to them. Anointing has a process of crushing all of the things, but just that I feel like
God wants to encourage us to not grow weary in doing good for in due season. We will reap
a harvest. Amen. Amen. Yes, Lord, that peace and direction cover them this week. As Jonathan
is asking for prayer there, we just ask for peace and direction over their lives, everybody's
lives this week. God, I pray that this will be a week of breakthrough and a week of transformational
thinking about their lives. Amen. Amen. Love you guys. Please let us know in the comments
what the most impactful thought was tonight. Thank you. Galatians 6.
Yes. I love that. It's so good. Just let us know. We'd love to know what the most significant thing God's doing in your life right now.
Write us an essay if you need to. Essays are good. I love essays.
And yeah, just let us know what God is doing, what's hitting you.
You know, it's not uncommon for people to experience the conversation about wealth and get offended.
It's okay to be offended. I'm not offended that you're offended.
But talk to somebody about it. If you're offended about the conversation about wealth, talk to somebody about it.
Because you don't want to do that alone.
Don't try to fix your offense by yourself. That's not a fun journey of being there.
Don't do that. Don't do that. That's my friendly, loving reminder to you.
If you get offended by conversations about wealth, there's a conversation that needs to be had.
So reach out, and we'll talk it through.
Okay. Love you guys. Anything else? Final words?
Thanks for letting us share with you. It's been great.
It's a privilege.
Excited.
Love you guys. Alright. Talk to you soon.
