Hey, ladies, happy Monday.
Bethany Cooper here, one of the HeartWork coaches in the community.
If I've never met you before, you're here for the first time, welcome.
We are so glad that you are here joining us tonight.
There's been a pop-up that's been coming on at the beginning of every session lately about
Julia's AI notes.
I just want to let whoever know I'm denying those just because I don't even know who's
sending those through because we don't even have a Julia in here.
So if you were asking to take notes, we just don't.
We would prefer you take notes with pen and paper because I just I don't know who's sending
that through.
All right.
But welcome joining us for the first time.
Who's joining us tonight?
If you've never been here before, I feel like I have seen everyone know like know everybody
pretty much that's here tonight.
Ladies, some of you this afternoon, I found out what week you're in, but I'm going to
do a quick just touch base with those of you that did not come this afternoon.
Can you tell me what week of the course you are in?
So Shirai, Jacoy, Alicia, Joanna, Natalie, Laura, and actually I think it's Maria.
Your name's Maria, right?
But I think it says Jose Rodriguez.
I feel like there's a different name in there, but okay, Laura.
I'm just doing this as a check in you all because we have some new people and I don't
know, you know, even where they're at.
If you all aren't introducing yourselves or even just if we're not doing a weekly check
in on where you are.
So I just want to make sure I know where everybody's at.
So just keep putting those there in the chat for me and I'll go ahead and keep tonight's
chat.
That might be the quicker way to do it.
So if you're just joining us, I'm asking you all to share what week you are in in the phase
one heart work course.
That would be great.
If you all can put that in the chat.
Again, I'm Bethany Cooper.
I'm glad you're here joining us tonight.
We're so excited to be on this journey with you.
You all, God is doing so many great things.
It's been a blessing to read your updates.
Those of you that have been doing the activations way to go, ladies, can we just give like a
round of applause for the people that are doing these activations and posting their
pictures?
Literally, this is awesome.
Some of you are still in the Facebook group.
So just so you know, some people have been putting them in there and then we have people
in the app.
Those that started in Facebook, you're not missing out on anything other than the fact
that you all are just in two different groups.
But it's because you started way before we launched the app.
And so we're trying to go ahead and let you finish where you started and cheer you on
there.
And so excited to see the breakthroughs that are happening for everyone.
And even when you all have questions, that helps us get to know you better and to meet
you right where you're at on your journey.
There is never a dumb question.
I haven't said that in a while.
And so I feel like it's important to say that tonight.
So if you are processing your heartwork and you're just really not sure what something
means, you don't know how to unpack it, or you're just really finding that you're not
getting the revelation that you feel like you should be getting, because that happens
sometimes and it's just can be in our minds.
But sometimes that's also because something can block people from being able to receive
revelation.
Okay, so there might be some healing that might be needed.
So typically, when you all will share and post about that, then we can ask you some
questions that will lead to deeper healing.
So don't be afraid to ask questions.
That's one of the things we're big on in this community in this course, is asking God really
great questions and asking us questions too.
And we're going to be asking you questions back too, because that's what will lead you
further into your own breakthrough.
I'm going to go ahead and pray and get started for tonight.
Again, thank you so much for joining us.
If you're just now joining, please share.
Hi, Jesse, it's okay.
You can double dip girl.
That's all right too.
You can just listen in if you're not feeling well.
But for those of you just now joining us, go ahead and put in the chat for me what week
you are on in the content.
And if you're new, please let us know that you're joining us new for the first time so
we can welcome you.
Hi, I see a couple other faces I know and recognize.
And for those of you that don't have cameras on yet, I do want to encourage you to go ahead
and turn those on if you can.
If you're not driving, if you're not eating, it's a big, big, big part of coming out of
hiding and it also helps me get to know you more.
Honestly, when I see your face and not just your name on the screen, so it helps me
know who you are, recognize you, and make connections
with things that you're telling me on your journey
through heart work.
Look at all of you beautiful ladies.
Awesome.
All right, Father, thank you so much for tonight.
Thank you, God, for your revelation power.
We thank you, God, that you are the one
that is the great physician,
that nothing's too hard for you.
We thank you, God, that you know what every lady,
their whole journey, their entire lives,
you know everything that has led them to this point,
the areas where they need healing
and breakthrough the most.
Lord, one of the things we're gonna talk about tonight
is roots and how our roots impact us,
and the roots can be connected to truth and life
or brokenness and pain, and how those have an impact
and play a role on who we show up as in the world today.
I thank you, God, that you would bring healing
to the depths of our being and to the core of who we are,
into our identity, and I pray that you would help us
to just come up a little higher tonight
in the understanding of how you see us,
help us to walk as royalty walks,
to understand the lineage and legacy
that we are leaving behind as we go.
And we just thank you, God, for grace.
We thank you that you would protect hearts and minds
and spirits from any lies, guilt, shame, or condemnation
that the enemy might even try to send during this session.
We thank you for freedom from distraction.
Holy Spirit, we ask you to come
and just have your way.
Teach us, show us, heal us, and grow us.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen, amen.
All right, Rachel, you finished week five yesterday.
Woo, woo!
All right, y'all, there's a couple others.
I saw some other people.
They're in week five.
They're about to finish week five.
Y'all, just give yourselves a round of applause.
This is an awesome thing that you are doing
and investing in.
I'm gonna celebrate it all day long.
It's great when you all see it all the way through, okay?
So if you're not there yet, keep going.
You've got this, and we're gonna be cheering you on as well.
Don't give up on yourself or this process,
especially when the enemy tries to take you out
and tell you that, you know, you just can't do it
or it's not really working for you.
Whatever the lie is that he's feeding you,
remember that he is a liar.
He's the devil.
So resist his lies and keep on going.
Okay, tonight we're gonna talk a little bit on,
I'm gonna touch on the broken heart.
We've talked about this a little bit before.
If you're new, like you're in week one, two,
maybe even those that are in week three,
but some of you, like I know some
that are staying there in week three,
you've been here for a little bit.
We're gonna talk about the broken heart
in some similar ways,
but we're gonna talk about insignificance tonight.
And what does that mean?
And where do we pick up this lie
of insignificance in our lives?
So when we think back to what the broken heart is,
it is trauma.
Remember this, trauma doesn't just hurt us,
it creates these different versions of us, okay?
So if you think back, I even want you all right now,
if you have pen and paper,
if you don't have pen and paper,
you might wanna get it tonight.
So just FYI, I have some exercises
I want us to do together.
I should have told you that on the beginning.
Sorry about that.
I want you to be thinking about and ask the Lord this.
Remember, you're always asking the Lord,
not just your own insight.
When is the first time you ever felt insignificant?
I'm gonna read the definition
of what insignificant can look like
and sound like what it means.
And this is what it says.
Insignificant is not significant,
lacking meaning, not worth considering, unimportant.
So what I'm asking you to ask the Lord
is to reveal to you if you've ever felt that way
at any point in your life and when you felt that way.
Insignificant, not significant, lacking meaning,
not worth considering, unimportant.
And as you're thinking on that,
I'm gonna go through this content a little bit.
As you're thinking about ways that the enemy
tries to convince you that you're insignificant
because of this wound or this time of wounding
that you experienced pain from the past,
I want you to remember that your broken heart
is often trying to lead you away
from your true original identity
because it's being fueled by lies
that the enemy has planted in during that time of trauma.
If y'all remember,
I'm not gonna actually read the excerpt right now,
but in the book, it talks about the Lord of the flies
and it gives the example about how flies will come
to areas where there's open wounds
and they will come to that
and they will lay their eggs in there
into that decomposing area.
Why?
To.
reproduce to create more flies to create more of this stuff
that breaks down within us. So if you imagine the areas where
you have wounds that are not healed, the enemy is doing the
same thing he's trying to come in and plant these lies in these
seeds into your soul that will cause you to if you will
decompose and break down from the inside out. But what God
comes to do through Jesus Christ, who he sent his one and
only son to die on the cross to redeem your life to give you a
way to be in relationship to restore you to better than you
were before you ever were hurt. He comes to give you life and
give it to you more abundantly. So he's coming in and trying to
bring you truth and bring you healing and bring resurrection
power, the same power that rose Jesus Christ from the dead is
the same power that's available to each one of us. But it's,
it's whether or not we tap into that in our healing process or
not. Sometimes it's because if we struggle to tap into that,
it's because we don't believe it's real, or we don't believe
it's really for us. And it's not that we're saying, I don't
believe Jesus is real. But there are a lot of different belief
systems that don't really even teach about the power, the
miracle power of Jesus Christ, right. So we have to understand
there are differences in teaching out there. And I want
to encourage you to partner with the truth that that power truly
can set you free you all. And some of you have been on this
journey for quite some time. And you're like, okay, is this
really going to be different? But it is it is different this
time, God is doing something supernatural. In this community,
we've seen a time and time and time again, myself included. So
hang on, if you're not there yet, you're on your way. Okay.
And our ladies in our week four and five can attest to this, I
can guarantee it several of them are, I mean, even their
countenances when they show up, I can see even tonight, some of
y'all look different than you even did just a couple weeks
ago. Yes, Alicia, I see you, girl. I see you shining over
there tonight. Look at her. She looks great, doesn't she? I see
a lot of others too. But y'all, I try to go with what Holy
Spirit tells me to nudge and just say, say, hey, this is
something I see happening over here. Alright, so I want you to
think about the identity that God gave you when he originally
created you. If you can imagine with me when he was, he was
conceiving you as an idea. You know, God is creative, look at
all the amazing things he created in the world. And he's
conceiving you in his, his mind, and he's excited because he's
about to create you. And he's planning all this amazing stuff
that he's going to put in you the gifts and the abilities and
the way you're going to talk and the way you're going to walk and
the, you know, just all the vibrancy, if you will, of your
being. But so many times, you know, we don't know that part of
ourselves because trauma came in and pain and we haven't, we
haven't even some of us ever known that person because the
hurt and the pain came before we were even born. Right? All
right. But here's what I want to ask you to do. I'm going to have
you write something else down on your paper. I want you to ask
the Lord to show you tonight, two good things that he wants to
tell you about who he says you are. I'm going to pray for you
as you're doing this. I want you to write down two things. If you
get more, that's awesome. But just start with two, two things
that God is whispering from heaven over you tonight. Who
does he say you are? Father, right now, I just thank you that
you would give the ladies inspiration and the ability to
hear what your spirit is saying to them. Help them to know how
you saw them when you originally created them. God, that that is
truly who they still are, that you would help them to hear the
whispers of heaven over them. Remove any lies of the enemy
that would even try to rise up right now that would cause them
to think negative things and help them to partner with your
truth as they write it on the paper tonight. In Jesus name.
All right. And it's okay if it takes time. If nothing comes
right now, don't get super frustrated. Okay, I want you to
stay open and trust that God will show you either as we go
tonight or even after tonight. And Shira, I just want to
encourage you real quick. It's okay.
I see her note in here. She's stuck in week two. She's feeling really bad. Don't feel really bad. Okay, just one step at a time
Just keep moving forward. So even if you can only do a little bit
And you know every week just do a little bit but just keep moving forward and that will help
You feel a little bit better there
The question oh, that's okay
Anya it the question that I said was ask the Lord to show you two things and if you get more that's great
two things he wants to tell you about
Who you are your original identity things that he put in you when he?
Originally created you so before any trauma or wounds
entered in
And I know ladies sometimes this can be intimidating for some of you we're gonna work through that tonight as well, okay
Because that's just the enemy trying to
Hinder you from moving forward even in that action
statement
All right, our broken heart. What is it? It's a liar
These are just kind of I'm gonna kind of quickly go through these and summarize. It's a liar
So it's full of lies the broken heart. It's a puzzle. It's messed up
You know if you think of a puzzle when you get it, the pieces are all over the place
You know
You got to figure out where they go
Sometimes we feel confusion
we think we want things that we don't really want and
There's just a lot of chaos and doubt and unbelief in there
The the heart is also the pretender so the pretender is someone who's wearing masks
So they're showing up pretending that they are somebody that they're not maybe they're trying to have this idea of perfection
Or I've got it all together. I don't need anybody's help or you know
sometimes we will think that we need titles or
Certain types of merit materialistic things because we get our identity from these things. Sometimes people get identities from their children from
You know even being a spouse and so that came up this afternoon
So I think it's important to mention that one of the things that also happens to all and this is the new part
I want to mention tonight is
The pretender also causes us to live below our true identity
Okay, so the the example God wanted me to give you all is if you're thinking about on a
royal kingdom
You know, there are people that are royalty and then there's people like, you know
I don't know if this is accurate, but this is just in my mind for movies
Then you have commoners and then there's poppers which might be the more low-level people that are very needy
Maybe they don't have anything very low income, you know always in need always begging
Okay. So the reason I'm I'm mentioning this is because the Lord wanted me to talk about
the difference of walking like a queen or a princess
versus a popper and
We're gonna go into this even more than we did this afternoon just FYI
So, I want you all to think even right now about times that you've begged for something
If something comes to mind I just want you to write it down we're gonna do a lot of like processing tonight
Is there a time that you ever even if you didn't beg you felt like you had to
Whether it was with the parent God
You know
Maybe you begged for someone to love you and they really just never did
You pleaded with them to stay and not she don't you know, whatever the begging was about. I
Want you to write that down?
Okay
And if it doesn't come to you yet, that's okay because most people have done this at some point in their life in
one way or another
There's a story in the Bible where
The woman comes and she's asking Jesus I feel like I forget exactly how it goes. I think it was her daughter
Was paralytic or something? I forget. I just read it like yesterday
but she was asking Jesus to heal her daughter and he was kind of in the midst of
He was talking to disciples and she came in and there was this inner
I'm really paraphrasing and I'm not doing a great job, but she basically is like hey
Even you know, the dogs will take the crumbs or something like she didn't care how she was gonna get that healing for her kids
She just was asking to
Heal her kid right and Jesus in that moment healed the kid because of her faith
so
sometimes I think that
But there is a lot, we look at that and we think,
well, she was begging.
Well, I would actually say she was standing in authority
and made a statement of faith.
Like basically saying, you know,
it doesn't matter who we are.
It doesn't matter what level of life we're in.
Like I know basically what is somebody else's
can also be mine.
Y'all and he healed that daughter right then.
So some of you all, Maria,
I'm so sorry that that happened with your mom.
Yes, even things like this.
And y'all, some of this might get really hard
for some of you tonight,
but we're gonna work through this
because I'm gonna bring you out on the other side
because here's why we're talking about this.
It's time for us to live not in a prideful way,
but in our hearts in a place of royalty.
We are called heirs of the kingdom.
So for an heir of the kingdom,
if you think even about a palace,
if you go to England and you go through these places,
you know, there's a lot of photos and images on the wall
of generation after generation after generation
of Kings and Queens and, you know, the Royal lineage.
And I want y'all to understand
that you are a part of God's lineage, his Royal family.
But a lot of you, myself included in the past,
so I'm not pointing fingers,
a lot of us did not grow up in that way, did we?
We were taught things totally opposite of that.
And I'm not faulting even our parents
because if they weren't taught how to live
with healthy mindsets and to believe
that they have authority in the kingdom of heaven
to speak truth, to, you know,
even bind things here on earth as it is, you know,
bind them in the heaven, in the spiritual realm,
even as we bind it here on earth.
You know, the Bible talks about the fact
that we have authority to do that.
How?
Through the power and the blood of Jesus Christ,
not in our own ability, but in his.
He already defeated everything.
So basically we are aligning with truth
and we're asking heaven to come and align up
the physical realm and the heavenly realm
to line up with each other.
Does that make sense?
Everyone tracking with me here?
Am I losing people?
No, yes?
We don't know yet, do we?
All right, we're almost there.
So the reason I want you to think about the beggar side
is because I also want you to think
about the royalty side that I was just talking about.
If you can imagine God coming down right now,
right in your room, right where you're at,
and placing a crown on you,
like, can you just like imagine like
what that would feel like and look like
and how that might cause you to live differently?
If you literally could experience God coming down
and putting a crown on your head and saying,
beloved, you are mine, you are my royal daughter,
everything in my kingdom is available to you.
How would that cause you to live differently
in your day-to-day life?
Jeremiah 17, nine says this,
the heart is deceitful above all things
and desperately wicked, who can know it?
Proverbs 4, 23 says, keep your heart with all vigilance
for from it flows the springs of life.
Y'all, our hearts are very impressionable.
So things that we see, things that we hear,
things that have been said to us, done to us,
impact our hearts and the way we show up.
So tonight in Jesus' name, Father, I pray that you would,
even just right now, I just feel led to pause.
I ask you, Father, to heal impressions that were unhealthy,
where people were beaten, mistreated,
betrayed, mishandled, words spoken harshly to them,
God, in ways that they were disregarded
and discarded at times as well,
maybe neglected or abandoned,
God, we thank you for healing every wound.
We thank you for the balm of Gilead
and we ask you to place it upon hearts,
minds, bodies, spirits, and souls tonight.
Help us to have a glimpse of what it looks like.
looks like to be a princess in your kingdom,
to trust that you are working on our behalf,
even right now, that Jesus is sitting
at your right hand, Father, interceding for us by name,
that you know every hair on our head,
and you count each one because you care about us
and you love us.
Help us to come out of alignment with lies
of the enemy that came through the wounds
that we experienced at the hands of other people.
And help us to partner with your truth, Lord,
in Jesus' name, amen.
All right, I wanna talk about this insignificance thing
a little bit more,
and then we're gonna do the breakout tonight.
Did someone ever tell you that you were not important?
That you, these are lies, okay?
These are the insignificance lies,
and there's gonna be a couple others.
Did anyone ever tell you that you didn't matter?
You should be seen and not heard.
You are not enough, and these come from the enemy as well.
See, the enemy speaks through people,
so you might be thinking of a person,
but remember, the enemy is the one behind these words
and accusations and harmful things that came against you.
Just always remember that.
I mean, we have to forgive those people,
but understand, hurt people hurt people,
and it always comes through the enemy using people
to come towards us and try to bring harm into our lives.
Here's another one.
Your opinion doesn't matter.
You're always going to have to beg.
There's that beggar.
Is the enemy trying to tell you and convince you
that you have to always beg for God
to pay attention to you?
You have to plead for him to actually look your way.
If they really knew me, they wouldn't accept me,
love me, choose me, and a lot of times, ladies,
that shows up regarding people's stories.
Maybe people, I hear it in all different ways,
but these are just ones that I see a lot.
If they really knew everything that I've been through,
they wouldn't accept me.
If they knew I've been divorced more than once,
they wouldn't want to get to know me.
If they knew how much I actually feel insecure,
I'm too much for them.
All of these lies that I've stated above
in the last few minutes are lies that point to us
having low self-esteem, ladies.
It also points to us not understanding our value
and our worth, as well as our lack of self-esteem.
It also points to us not understanding
our value and our worth, as well as proper P-A-U-P-E-R
and or orphan mentalities.
All right, so I want you to be continuing to think about
what are the ways these things have been showing up
in your life and who have they been showing up through?
And maybe it's just you on your own.
Maybe some of you, even I just heard the Holy Spirit say,
some of you won't even let yourself go buy something new
because God's actually nudging you.
I don't know who this is, but God is nudging you
to go buy yourself something new for a reason,
because he's trying to unlock something in you,
but you've convinced yourself that you don't deserve it.
So I don't know who that's for,
but I'm just hearing what the Lord is saying.
So I want to encourage you, go shopping,
go get yourself something.
I'm not trying to tell you to spend money you don't have,
but I do think one of you, at least one of you tonight,
this is an activation for you.
Y'all, I'm going to tell you a story real quick.
I was at a conference, I don't know, last year or sometime,
and there were students there
that were at the Asbury Revival
and they were sharing their testimony.
And at the end, the people that ran the conference
had these students stand up in the front
and they were the ones that were praying for people.
And I felt led to go up,
because God's really speaking to me a lot
about going after college-aged students.
And I'm like, man, these are these,
I mean, even just the things
these young adults were talking about,
I just was like, I want to get closer to the Lord
and what he's doing through these kids.
And I went up for prayer.
And as I was waiting to go up and pray,
I was waiting for them to finish with someone else.
I heard the Lord speak something to me that I,
you know, it was so quick, I could have totally dismissed it.
I heard him say, you need to invest in a new wardrobe.
So simple.
Here's why. So I go up for prayer. I say nothing about that because that's not what I was going
up for prayer about. I finished praying. And after I finished praying and I'm walking back
to my seat, the Lord is continuing to talk to me. And he said, I'm going to send you
to the college age students. And you need to look the part. You need to look the part.
You need to have some new stuff. You need to feel confident when you go. Now y'all,
I haven't had an opportunity open up yet, but here's the thing. And I'm not saying I
didn't have nice things before, but there was a very long period of time where I, I
didn't even like shopping. And so I just quit investing in things. And I just felt like
God was leading me to do that. And I've been investing in it and I'm getting myself ready
for what's coming. Do you understand? Okay. So some of you, God is nudging you because
he wants you to have some stuff that after you finish phase one, not right now, but after
you finish phase one, you'll have some new things or some dates. Hey, so be expectant.
Allow your heart to begin to believe and step into that activation. Okay. Moving on.
I don't know how that tied into the lies and the things, but that's what came up. So I
just go with it. You all. All right. So let's look at the truth. What is the truth? That's
the opposite of some of these lies. I'm just going to say a couple of things real quick,
some scriptures, but here's the one truth God wanted me to speak overall over all of
those lies is you can have enough to give away all the time. You can have enough to
give away all the time and you all, it's not just about money. You can have enough joy.
You can have enough hope. You can have enough laughter. You can have enough fun. You can
have enough of, you know, uh, I do believe this can apply also to finances that you are
going to be a lender, not a borrower. Okay, Natalie, girl, I didn't know why I was telling
that story. You all, this is why I just trust the Holy spirit. I'm going to read Natalie
put in there. Oh, geez. I feel like that was for me. I work at a university and went to
the revival at Asbury and I've literally been thinking about updating my wardrobe. You all
sometimes I don't know why God is telling me to say something, but I just trust him.
Natalie. I can't wait to see now when you go, I hope that you will post in the group,
maybe one of your new shirts or your new outfit. Let us see some of this new swag girl looking
good. All right. So y'all are going to be lenders and not just borrowers. Proverbs 12 49,
a wife of noble character is her husband's crown. There's the crown again, right? Ephesians
one, five in love. He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ in
accordance with his pleasure and will. So there we are. We're adopted. We're never alone.
Here's the next one. Isaiah 43, four, since you are precious and honored in my sight,
this is God speaking. And because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you and
nations in exchange for your life. So he's going to, he's going to go to bat for us. You all
here's the scripture. I kind of stated this earlier, Luke 12, seven, indeed,
the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid you are worth more than sparrows.
So that ties into some of our content from last week. If y'all weren't able to be here last week,
definitely check out that replay. If you haven't listened to it yet and try to get out in nature,
that was our activation. Some of y'all did that this last week and wrote some great updates on how
that minister to you. So there's still time y'all, even if you haven't done it yet, you can still do
this stuff. Okay. So we're going to go into breakouts. We're going to go into breakouts and
here's the one, what I want to talk about. You know, when you wrote down on your paper,
uh, the two things that God spoke over your true identity, that's what I want you to talk about
in the breakout. Okay. Cause it's, I think we've been talking about the hard stuff a little bit
here for a while, and I want you to talk about the good stuff. Now, here is a, uh, a preface.
If you did not get anything, if you feel like you didn't hear something, I don't want you to panic.
All I want you to do when you go into that breakout room is just say you all, I didn't,
I didn't hear anything yet. We, you know, just be praying for me.
They don't have to pray for you right then, but just.
Let your ladies know and they'll pray for you. They can be praying for you this week
Okay, just be real and be honest ladies. This is this is how healing happens
Okay, be vulnerable with each other. God's working in this as well. All right. Let me set these breakout rooms up
Again you're talking about the two things
That God spoke to you when we pause and ask God to show us two things
Oh Tammy you might have come in after two things that God
Is saying to you right now so he can speak to you right now Tammy
Over your original identity like when he was forming you
Things he was speaking over you
Your true identity before trauma and pain ever entered and you're asking God to help you hear
These two things and you can have more on your paper, but we want to start with at least two
All right
Let me give you a let's see
Let's do nine minutes that gives you about two and a half to three minutes everybody
Okay
Here you go. I'm gonna be praying for you all and if you can't go into breakouts, it's okay
Joanne I see you as well. I have to sign you I'm not sure why I didn't
I
Don't only have one there
That's weird
All right
Eloise and Catherine and Carrie

Can you let me know in the chat?
Oh
You
All right, Lord, we just thank you so much for these ladies we thank you God for everything that you're doing
We thank you that you're rewriting stories even right now
Where the enemy has tried to kill steal and destroy we thank you that you sent Jesus Christ to come and give us life
And give it to us more abundantly. So right now we just speak truth and hope and life to be released
Over every one of these ladies into their hearts their minds their spirits their souls their bodies that you would breathe
Life into them help them to hear what your spirit is saying to them
That you would remove every lie of the enemy
Every damaging word that's ever been spoken over them that you would speak truth to them and love right now
We thank you Holy Spirit that you are fanning
The flame within them burning burning burning
You're just burning your love within them cause them to sense your presence right now where they're at
We thank you
Holy Spirit for continuing to weave in and out the comp in and out throughout the conversations that are happening in these rooms
Hi, Nicole. We just went into breakout
Are you able to join breakout? Hi
I'm kind of I just I'm sorry. I missed it this afternoon and now
So what we're talking about if you want to just listen
It's okay because you you might want to go back and listen to the replay and do this part
But I would love for you to at least hear the ladies conversations
What they're talking about. So we did an activation
where I asked them to
Ask God to show them two things that God was speaking and saying over them when he originally created you all
In the womb before before you were ever
Impacted by trauma or wounds like what is God speaking over you when he created you?
So if stuff comes to you go ahead and write that down and you can share that with them
I'm gonna put you into a room now. Okay. All right. God bless you
Thanks
You
All right, Laura, we just thank you.
I'm not sure.
One of the ladies is stuck by herself and I can't fix it.
That's why I was looking at the screen like that.
Hey, Catherine, did you get bumped out?
Something weird is going on.
Do you?
I have somebody stuck in a room by themselves as well.
What room were you in?
Four.
Okay.
There you go.
That should be there for you.
Okay.
Oh cool.
Okay, father.
Thank you so much again.
Just working out technology.
Thank you for helping the ladies to not get kicked out of their
rooms right now and here's Frenchie.
Hey, can you hear me Frenchie?
Hey, I don't know.
I kept trying to move you and you were stuck in the one room.
I sent you a new request for room 12.
Can you see that?
I did.
Keep it up, but it's been hanging out all night.
So.
You know what else just got kicked out right before you.
I think something's going on because it didn't even set the
rooms up right tonight.
Anya, did you get kicked out as well?
No, I actually joined on my phone also because one of the
girls in our group is having trouble figuring out how to
unmute.
So I just am going to show her so I'm good.
I'm still in my breakout room.
Okay, you're in room four.
Yes.
Yes, Catherine.
Yes.
Can you hear me now?
I can hear you now.
Yeah, let's see if it's sending you get into our breakout room.
Yeah, there you go.
You guys can go back in there.
Okay, Frenchie.
Did you see the invite?
I sent you there.
For those watching the replay, sorry about this.
Sometimes this just happens with technology.
So bear with us.
We'll just continue to pray God.
Thank you so much for again, just continuing to remove
distraction.
The enemy is trying to I feel like cause hindrances even in
the conversation tonight and the prayer.
So we just thank you for peace that will prevail.
We thank you for truth and life and healing rivers flowing
from heaven over these ladies tonight.
We thank you that you would help us Lord to envision what
it looks like to be fully loved embraced fully known.
That's the way you love us Lord.
You are love.
You cannot deny yourself.
Therefore.
You will not reject us either because we're made in your
image.
So Lord, I thank you that you would help us to have a more
heavenly understanding of your plan and your blessing in our
lives.
I thank you that you would help us to receive your truth Lord
that you would help us to yes Lord to quickly recognize all
the lies of the wicked one where he is coming that we would
catch those lies quickly and cast those down and choose rather
to believe what the word of God says about us.
We thank you God for fresh manna and revelation from heaven
every single day that you would help us to have insight as we
read your word that it wouldn't just be something legalistic
that we do that we would open the pages of your word and that
they would become illuminated to us that it would feel exciting
that you would stir up the gifts of God within us help us to
know the things that you've placed within us God help us to
see our value to understand our worth in you.
I thank you that you would help all of these ladies to become
more secure in you Lord every day.
That you would help them to get their identity.
From your love from being rooted and rounded in your love Lord.
I thank you that not height nor depth nor principality nor
power nor things in the present or things to come shall ever
separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
I thank you Lord.
That yes Lord and Proverbs 3 5 ladies in the message.
It says this trust God from the bottom of your heart.
Don't try to figure out everything on your own listen for God's
voice in everything you do everywhere you go.
He's the one who will keep you on track.
Don't assume you know it all so Lord.
We just thank you for continuing ability to surrender.
We thank you for grace and life and truth.
Thank you for revealings, for healing that are happening,
that you're bringing things out of the darkness
into the light, that you're showing us, Lord,
the people that we need to forgive,
the situations that we need to ask you to help us to heal,
and that we would invite you into the vulnerable places
and not turn away from those anymore,
that we would not procrastinate,
that we would be women of action doers of your word,
Lord God, that we would partner
with your truth over our lives.
God, that we would see your truth,
that we would perceive a fresh vision in the night hour,
as well as in the daytime,
of your plans and your purposes for us, Lord.
Help us to have a deeper understanding
of all of the plans and the promises that you have for us,
that you don't have plans for harm or for evil, Lord,
you have plans for good.
Help us to partner with the good, good life
that you have for us in Jesus' name.
Welcome back, ladies.
Welcome back, welcome back.
We have like 20 seconds
and everybody will be here with us.
Praise the Lord.
Y'all, we were having some tech issues this time.
I don't know what was going on.
We had people getting kicked out of rooms.
I had somebody stuck in a room by themselves
and I kept trying to invite them to a different room.
I don't know what was going on.
That's a first for me.
Sometimes the Zoom rooms don't do it right.
All right, awesome.
Welcome back.
Who is willing to share with the whole group
what you shared with your breakout?
Anya, go ahead.
So the two things that I heard
were seeker of justice and daughter.
And just what I had been sharing was,
I thought it was really interesting
because in a lot of the,
having just finished week four
with all sorts of forgiveness
and just different memories
and lies that were being uncovered and all of that,
what I was seeing was that sometimes my tendency
to be perfect or to be right,
to always have things to be right,
actually became a self-protective mechanism.
So it was just neat when the Lord was like,
no, but I put that in you,
like that right and wrong
and that sense of right and wrong.
Sure, it was warped and twisted because of things,
but it was actually like what he put in me.
And then daughter, just that reminder of even like,
you never had to do anything, darn it.
So, yeah.
That is so beautiful.
Wow.
What a change from when you first started, right?
I love this.
Ladies, she's onto something really important here.
Did you understand what she was saying?
God put a gift in her that along the way
basically got overextended through trauma and pain
and slightly twisted.
And so she started believing that it wasn't a gift,
that was something that wasn't good about her.
Essentially, I'm kind of paraphrasing,
but here's the truth is that when God puts something in us,
it is a gift.
It's a gift that he's given to us.
And the more that you heal,
the more you're gonna recognize the gift
and it should come back into balance for you.
Now, there will be times
where the enemy will still try to tempt you
to see if he can get you out of balance
and back into chaos, right?
But we get to choose to stay in the pathway with the Lord
and to trust in his goodness
and to remain in the healed place.
How do we do that when hurt still comes, ladies?
How do we remain in the healed place?
Some people never wanna leave phase one.
I literally have someone that's been coming.
Y'all, I thought she was like in phase three
and she's just been coming.
She just needed to know that she can move on, I guess today.
But I say that because there are some people
that literally feel like it's like a womb,
like you're in this protective womb here
and people get afraid to leave.
But I don't want you to be afraid to leave
when God calls the babies out, it is time.
It is time to be birthed.
If you are finishing phase one,
ladies, give yourself permission to go forward
because God has more healing for you
that will come in phase two.
You'll be so amazed
at how you'll continue to be transformed.
So on that note, you will learn.
You'll learn to practice how to keep things in balance.
Healing still happens every single day in my life.
If painful things happen, guess what?
I have more tools now
because I went through the heart work
that I can use on a regular basis
to process things for healing.
And you'll be able to do the same as well.
Anya, thank you for sharing.
Brittany, go ahead.
So in our group,
I shared, first I wasn't sure
the Lord is talking to me because sometimes I'm like,
I need a minute for quietness.
But I caught a glimpse of
just this innocence when I was a little girl.
So before my parents or anyone in my environment,
put their own like teachings into me or any like projections.
And then I just felt the love of the Lord,
like come over me.
And I felt like he was just really allowing me
to see that I'm full of love.
And then I saw this flower,
I wanna say it's a drivera type of flower.
And it's one that has like,
it was the colors of like orange and red and yellow,
like really just like these deep colors.
And that was interesting
because I was in the group with Mariska and Laura
and Mariska mentioned that in the prophetic,
that can mean something very passionate.
And I was reflecting on that
before even deciding to share it.
I was like, oh, wait,
this was something I thought about today,
earlier today before this call,
like passionate about the things that I stand for
and just being brave enough to share that with my family.
And sometimes I feel like with my own family members,
they're not doing that.
And so I was like, oh, that makes sense, that makes sense.
So just being allowed to see that,
it just really helped to see that from the Lord.
That's so good.
And ladies, this is how you can practice this
on your own too, okay?
So that's why we're doing this tonight.
I'm trying to teach you all some real life things
that you can implement.
When you're alone with the Lord, you can say,
Lord, can you show me what you think about me
at whatever stage?
And just ask him,
can you show me what you thought about me
when I went through my divorce?
Whatever it is that you have need of,
he wants to speak to you in every area that you need it
and he will.
And you guys will learn,
you'll learn how to hear him more quickly.
I used to feel very similar, Brittany.
I felt like I had to really like have this,
lots of quiet and processing times.
And sometimes I still feel like that,
but other times like I'll ask and he'll just show me
and I just see stuff.
And so I believe that that can be true for you too, yeah.
Thank you so much for sharing that.
And what a beautiful thing that you felt the love
of the Lord come over you in that process too.
Praise the Lord.
All right, Lori, go ahead.
Thank you.
It was so funny you said that,
like just to practice listening throughout your day.
And so I've really been trying to,
my hunger to hear the voice of the Spirit.
I hunger to hear the voice of the Father.
I hunger to hear the voice of Jesus.
And so I feel like today when I got in my car
to go do errands, I'm like,
okay, Jesus, you're sitting shotgun with me.
Where are we going?
Where should I go first?
And just kind of including Jesus in my every step,
every moment of my day.
And I said, what do you wanna say to me?
What is it that you want me to hear today?
And he said, you're my girl.
You're my girl, I'm with you.
And so when you did this exercise just now,
I shared my small group.
As I heard the Father say, you're my royal daughter,
your royalty, you're my royal daughter.
And Jesus said, you're my beloved, I'm yours.
And so it's kind of fun to hear the voice of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit, a triune God,
a relational God, the three in one, the Trinity.
And I'm like, okay, I wanna befriend you, Holy Spirit.
I want us to be really close.
And then there's a different feel of what Jesus,
my bridegroom God, my Savior, my Lord,
and then God the Father, my Papa.
And so anyway, I'm just learning to hear the voice
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
And that's what I got.
That's so good.
Hey, you all, you are his royal daughters.
I love that.
Just keep soaking in that.
Let that come over you and speak some truth
into your spirit, even right now.
Some of y'all, he's coming into your rooms,
right where you're at, and he's putting a robe around you.
And you might not even realize it,
but he's doing it in the spirit realm.
So just trust that he is working even right now.
Go ahead.
Sorry, I had to unmute myself.
Oh, that's all right.
So Melissa Fletcher was my partner,
and I told her one thing,
but I actually heard something before that,
but I disregarded it
because I was in the bathroom when I heard it.
I literally had to take the phone into the bathroom and I was like, that can't be for
real.
But now it is all adding up.
So the first thing I heard, you were talking and I asked the Lord, I think you said, like,
what does he think of us or what does he see in us or qualities in us?
And I heard passionate and loyal.
And I was like, huh, okay.
Which I know the loyal thing, but it just, I kind of was like, okay, whatever.
And then I got downstairs and was praying and I prayed again and I heard fun and adventurous.
And what I was saying to Melissa is that I told her about the fun part.
And I said, what's interesting is because I've been getting over this breakup, I haven't
felt very fun.
I felt really like gloomy guests for a long time.
But that really is when I think of fun, I was trying to find a better word, but the
vision that the Lord gave me was like a kid that is very everything is exciting and new
and like wide eyed.
And I feel like that's kind of how a lot of my walk was with the Lord for a long time,
where everything was just anything is possible with God.
And he did all these amazing, miraculous things.
And I saw miracles and experience miracles and just like such a passionate relationship
with him.
And then it's just the last many years have been really hard.
And there's been a whole lot of digging up of traumatic stuff.
And I'm almost finished.
What I was explaining to Melissa is that I feel like I just turned a page this weekend
with this getting over this breakup, where I feel like the regular me is starting to
come back.
And I'm also about ready to be done with week five.
She was saying, well, that's kind of interesting, because one of the qualities in the divine
part for women is fun.
And then when I think about all of those qualities, I'm like, well, all of those would be good
in a relationship, you know, loyal, passionate, fun, adventurous, because those aren't necessarily
the things that I would have thought, like I used to be involved with anti human trafficking
and a lot of mission stuff and ministry, I would have thought there would be different
words.
But those words seem very relevant right now.
Well, and here's the thing, ladies is, remember that he's also trying to speak to you about
what he originally put in you long before trauma and wounds ever entered.
And so no matter what we go through in life, ladies, this stuff is still in us.
You are experiencing an awakening.
And guess what you will you can even end up better and healthier and more fun and more
adventurous than you were ever before.
All this other stuff happened, that is really something true that can happen like over here,
you may experience all like, even though you're saying I was this way before, I believe,
because I've experienced it, and just by faith for you, that you're about to experience a
whole new level of fun, adventure, passion, what loyalty looks like not only you being
loyal, but someone being loyal to you.
You know, all the things so be prepared because there's good stuff on the way and God is working
on your behalf right now.
And this is where we prepare and partner our hearts, right?
In the heart healing, you all are also learning how to prepare your hearts for what he's about
to bring you.
All right, so I'm going to go ahead and shift over to Shirai.
And then I do need to do the additional content.
So Shirai and is it Mariska?
Yeah.
So if you guys can go ahead and I'll have you both go and then I can't have anybody
else raise their hand right now because we'll try to come back for another round in a little
bit.
All right, Shirai, go ahead.
In mine, I really, honestly, I, I'm always very sensitive about whether or not I hear
God or not.
And that's what I told my, my partner.
So but I was sitting here listening to the other ladies.
And I, I just, so I really didn't say anything in my group.
That's okay.
I'm just sitting here listening to the, these other ladies.
And I just heard tender hearted, sensitive.
I have a lot of moments where I'm like, I, I'm kind of like, like in the bed, like sleep.
I've, you know.
No, but my spirit gets awake, awoken and I begin to pray for like, and I'm not praying
out loud, but I can hear the words in my head and that happens a lot to me at night.
And so it just brought back last night, how I was woken up. It was like two o'clock in the morning
and I wasn't talking out loud, but in my head, I was praying for the salvation of Donald Trump.
Somebody in my own personal self, no offense to anybody on here, irks me, but I was literally
travailing in my spirit. And it was so weird. So I'm like, so Barry, so I just heard in my
tender hearted and sensitive. Yes. Yes. And y'all again, these are, these are attributes.
God is trying to say, this is the stuff that I breathed into you when I was forming you.
Like that, that's what he was doing. He was forming us. He was breathing life and,
and good things into us. I love that you are recognizing that God is waking you up, continue to
allow him to use you as an intercessor and someone who can pray and let him continue to show you the
tender heartedness and the sensitivity that he wants to draw out of you more in the days ahead.
I love that. Okay. Mariska, go ahead. I will be quick. I want to share the, I feel like inspired
by God to share the dream that I had and I have something to show also. Okay. So in a dream,
and I feel like this is worth for every one of them here and every one of us here. So in a dream,
I was in a Royal wedding and I was with Jesus and I didn't see him because we was walking forward.
And this was a type of a crown or that's not TR crown, I guess. So, and I was imagined when you
put it on, try to walk with it. I mean, it's going to go all over the places. And I was just thinking,
and I was asking God, how can I wear it? And he told me this is the reason why I want you to see
it. Because I don't want you to put your head down ever. You keep your heads up and you'll be
the princess that I created you to be. And guess what? It doesn't matter what's happened in the
past. He was telling me, and I believe he's the word for somebody else. If you feel like you are
his princess, don't put your head down, keep your crown on, walk with that because he is the
glory in the lifter of your head and be the princess. Because I remember the testimony of
one woman when I was going through the healing through betrayal journey. And one of the counselors
said, well, my ex-husband was telling me that I am too complicated, too something. And I am engaged
now and my future, my fiance is thinking I am it for him with all the complications, with everything.
So my word for you ladies, just to keep your crown on and don't put your head down.
Love that. You all, can we just get an amen? All right. This is pretty awesome.
How did we know that she was going to have that dream and share that tonight? No. And you all,
I did talk about this stuff earlier today, but I didn't take it this direction. So I believe this
is the Lord. He's trying to help all of you remember like who you are. Remember what he
created you to be, who he created you to imitate. It's his son and projecting confidence. How do we
do that? If we don't have healed hearts and confidence within us, we tend to attract who we
are, you all. Okay. So if we're attracting unhealthy people in some way, we still believe
that that's what we deserve. Okay. That's truth. Even though I didn't want to admit it back years
ago, there was a part of me that thought I didn't deserve better than the guy I had. And that's why
I stuck with him. And there was some entanglement and all kinds of other stuff there too. But you
all, if I really believed, then I would have broke that off right in the beginning. I wouldn't have
put up with none of that.
And I did for many, many years.
Okay, so we're gonna talk a little bit about identity.
We're gonna weave right into this, okay?
So who or what are you currently getting your identity from?
I want you to think about this for a little bit.
Like what are some things
that you actually attach your identity to?
And that if that thing is not there,
you don't feel like you know yourself.
Okay, here's another way to look at it.
Do you get your identity from things people said to you
or currently say to you?
This could be things in the past
that were negative or positive,
or people even today
that they're saying positive or negative things.
Are those impacting the way that you view who you are,
your core identity?
Do y'all remember,
I don't remember if it was last week or two weeks ago
when I said that example in this class that I'm taking,
it's talking about if one person,
like I'm gonna give the example,
cause I'm married.
So if my current husband's like,
I love Bethany, she's awesome.
Cause that's what he says about me.
My husband, my ex-husband's like,
I think Bethany's terrible.
She left and divorced me
and whatever negative thing he ever wanted to say,
cause he said a lot of negative stuff.
Which one of them is right?
Guess what?
Neither one of them,
cause guess what?
It's what I think about myself.
Yes, that's awesome that my husband
thinks all those things about me,
cause he really does.
He's amazing, he says nice things to me all the time.
But at the end of the day,
I need to know who I am.
Because there are gonna be days
where we're gonna encounter people
that don't think great things about us.
And we have to be able to not lose the core of who we are
and to be able to remain in our confidence in the father
and to be really rooted and grounded in love for ourselves.
Not in a selfish way,
but even as scripture declares
that we would love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
So we have to learn how to love ourselves.
All right, are you getting your identity
from things the enemy has been saying to you?
Or are you getting your identity
from who God says that you are?
All right, I'm gonna read a little bit to you
about the fruits and the roots.
I just want you guys to have a refresher on this
cause it is important.
So the fruit, think about it,
any kind of fruit that's on a tree.
Well, those seeds at one point were planted
and those grew up and then they produce the fruit.
So the fruit is what you see on the outside.
So right now, think about the fruit in your life.
What kind of fruit are you displaying?
And y'all, let's be honest too.
Is there any rotten fruit?
Is there any fruit on your tree right now
that isn't looking so good?
Is there any fruit that isn't gonna be sweet to the taste?
Okay, just think about that.
And then the roots, okay?
So there's both of those things
and we're gonna talk about the roots here in a minute.
Here are some fruits that are not good looking.
So maybe they don't taste so sweet, okay?
They might include sickness, self-pity,
a victim mentality, despair.
So despair is not the same as sadness.
Deep, deep grief where people get so stuck in that grief
that they have a very hard time getting out of it.
Suicidal tendencies, disgust, judgment.
And then she put a side note.
She says, just a side note,
if you have a problem with judging others,
it's because you have a fragmented heart.
So brokenness causes us to judge other people,
criticizing people.
Here are some other fruits that aren't good,
like good fruit that we don't wanna produce this stuff.
If we are, there's no shame y'all, okay?
Remember that I'm saying this from the perspective
of we wanna recognize the good and the bad
so that we can get healing
for the stuff that's not looking so good, okay?
Obesity, perversion, addiction, sexual dysfunction.
Fornication can go right alongside of that, you all.
Sex outside of marriage is not God's plan for us.
Hopelessness, hatred, self-hatred.
Just so you know, all forms of hatred
begin with self-hatred.
You can't hate somebody else without hating yourself.
Some other ones, abrasiveness, short temper,
irritability, jealousy, envy, competitiveness,
comparing, gossip.
being backstabbing, being unhappy, ungratefulness, selfishness, and having a poverty mindset.
If you are habitually negative, unfaithful, or have any form of dis, so disease,
disconnection, discontent, disappointment, you are suffering from a broken heart.
So she goes in and she says she could keep going. So you guys can check that out again in the book.
But those are the things that we we want to pay attention to those kind of fruits and understand
that we need to ask God for healing and not stay in those places, okay? Because we want to produce
good fruit that's going to be really sweet tasting to whoever comes up and has a taste,
if you will, from our tree or comes up and sits under the shade of our branches.
So I want you to think right now about your root system, okay? I'm going to show you a picture.
I think I still have it open. Give me one second. Nope, that's not the right thing. Sorry, y'all.
There we go. All right. Can y'all see this tree?
All right. So I wanted you to have a visual. So here, look at the root system of this tree.
See how it's real strong and those roots go all the way down into the water.
There's actual scriptures that talk about that God would plant those who live according to
his purposes, that he would plant us by streams of living water, okay? So I want you to think
on that scripture. I want you to think about your life. And I want you to think about what
fruit are you producing and then think about the roots that it goes down into, okay? So if we are
producing, let's just talk about jealousy because jealousy comes up a lot. If we are producing
jealousy in our fruit, what is the root lie and wound that is connected to? When is the first
time, this is how we do it again, kind of using the revealing for healing cycle, when's the first
time, Lord, I ever felt jealous. That's how you, you just kind of ask the Lord, when's the first
time I ever felt jealous and ask him to reveal that. And then as he reveals the situation that
you would invite him in to heal that area and help you process. And then what we're going to
look for the truth to replace the lie. And then as that root system starts to heal, it'll then
start to create that good fruit. So I'm going to go ahead and stop screen share. I want us
so sorry, go ahead and put in the chat for me. Let me, let me see some fruit.
What are some negative things that you think, if any of you have any areas where you're still
seeing some fruit that maybe isn't the kind of good fruit that you need healing in those areas,
I want you to put that in the chat first. And remember, there's no shame here. Fully honest,
people are going to get breakthrough poverty, mentality, comparison, judging others.
Yeah. Impatience, not good enough judgment, poverty, mentality, comparison, self-pity,
judging cynical about men, habitual negative mindset, poverty, mindsets,
comparison, a lot of comparison here tonight, competitiveness, overworking and stress,
not good enough, poverty, judging and jealousy. Okay. So remember habitual negative mindset,
heart healing is needed there. Let's see doubt, irritability, obesity, judgment, comparison,
victim mentality, gluttony, comparison, disconnect, profanity, hopelessness. All right. So ladies,
let's lean into this. And then Nikki put fear in there. Sorry, you guys, I'm going to keep going
as you put them up there. So remember with your fruit, you're going to ask the Lord,
what root is that connected to? Root lies and root wound. When is the initial time
that you experienced? Like for Jen, she wrote hopelessness here. So Jen, you're going to say,
Lord, when is the first time I ever experienced hopelessness? Okay. And then as God shows you that
first time that you experienced that hopelessness again, remember sometimes he'll show us one thing
and we want to pull that thread. And then as we start to ask him questions about that,
it might connect to other things, or sometimes it is just that thing. And then ask him to come in
and bring truth to that area. Same thing, profanity. I mean, I know this, I'm just
breaking this down, making it real. When's the first time you turned to profanity when you felt
And this is Nicole put that in there.
You all sometimes I think we can all struggle with this when there's a lot of pressure applied,
but when is the first time we turn to that as a coping mechanism?
Did y'all know that's in the list of coping mechanisms?
Well, we call it self preservation technique, but it's a coping mechanism, okay?
People will swear as self like a method of self preservation, protecting themselves, okay?
Disconnect, so Alicia, when's the first time Lord that I disconnected to protect myself
and what was I protecting myself from?
Because there's probably something there that needs a little bit of healing in that area.
I'm just trying to unpack some of these for y'all.
Gluttony, anytime we turn to food to fill a void, we're trying to fill the only void
that can be filled or the void that can only be filled with the Lord with food, we turn
to food as comfort.
So sometimes that can also be paired with a lack of self control and one of the fruits
of the spirit is self control.
So we want to grow in the fruits of the spirit to counteract the opposite.
Does that make sense?
Everyone?
How I'm kind of unpacking these a little bit.
All right.
So take yours, ladies, whatever yours was, and you want to start to ask the Lord to show
you what that root was.
And then here's the thing, the more that you heal that tree that I showed you, that represents
you.
I'm going to bring it back up because I want to show you something else.
I didn't, I didn't go into this when I pulled it up the first time.
Can y'all see this little girl right here?
Do you see her down here in this photo?
Yeah, she's on this really great journey.
I just want you to kind of imagine this journey that you're on of healing.
And she's looking at this tree that is possible for her.
And this is a, this is a symbol of hope and life and wisdom and all these things.
And I want you to know that God is saying that this can be like, this can be you, like
your symbol of life in the days to come.
But it's just, you have to keep walking into healing.
You have to keep making healthy choices day by day.
If you make a mistake, guess what?
There's mercy and there's grace.
It's new every morning.
Now we don't want to take advantage of God's grace, do we?
We want to walk in righteousness.
We want to make right choices according to the word of God.
If you're not sure, ladies, what to do in a situation, just seek the word of God.
We are here to walk in this journey with you.
I'm going to put you in a breakout room and I want you to talk about what is a negative
route that you are going to confess and gain healing.
So maybe you already put yours in the chat, but you guys can talk about them.
And then I also want you to talk about a positive route, maybe an area where God has already
been healing you because I'm trying to balance the negative and the positive, because I want
you all practicing talking about the good that's going on.
Okay.
So remember short, brief and powerful.
I want you to talk also about the good, something that's already been being healed and you feel
that route being restored.
Does that make sense, everyone?
All right, cool.
I'm going to try to recreate these rooms and hopefully this time I don't have anybody by
themselves.
I think it looks good.
All right.
I am going to do eight minutes just because we're already at 919 here.
All right.
Go ahead and click to join those.
I'm praying for you all.
All right, Joanne and Maria and Eloise, are you all able to join those rooms?
All right.
All right, Lord, just thank you so much for everything that you're doing already tonight.
All right.
I thank you for the words of life and truth that these ladies were already speaking out about
All right.
who you originally created them to be. So ladies that are watching this and replay, I pray
that you will come in and share with us in the group what God spoke to you as you did this
exercise. I hope that you're joining with us and that you're going to continue to come and join us
in the group and be a part of the conversation there as well. Lord, I pray that you would show
these ladies the root systems that you want to heal, show them areas that their lives aren't
portraying good fruit, not to shame them, not to bring condemnation or guilt, but to help them step
further into healing, to step further into the pathway of righteousness that you have for them.
We thank you, Lord God, that you would take their feet off the path of pain and put their feet back
on the path that leads them back to you. We thank you, God, for transforming them by the renewing of
their minds that all old things have passed away. Behold, everything has become new and new. We thank
you, God, that their latter years are going to be greater than their former years. We thank you, Lord,
that they don't have to fear, they don't have to be afraid, they can trust in you. It's not by our
might or our power, but it's by your spirit, Lord, that all things can be possible. We thank you, God,
that we will trust you. We thank you that you'll keep us in a place of contentment in all seasons,
that we will be women of God that persevere and continue in this healing journey, one step at a
time, that we would continue to pursue your truth in your life. Hi, Summer. The ladies are talking
about negative root systems and positive root systems just from this exercise I just did with
them. I'd love to go ahead and just put you in the room if you want to just listen, and then,
you know, if something comes to you while they're talking, you can feel free to share, but it might
take too long for me to explain it right now. But I would love for you to at least be able to hear
them, okay? Okay, that'd be awesome. Thank you. You're welcome. Go ahead and join that. Okay.
All right. So, Laura, we just thank you also for that we're never too late. We're right on time.
We thank you, God, that you are continuing to breathe life into these ladies tonight,
that you are reminding them that they are awakening as they hear your voice, that you
are making them completely whole, lacking no good thing. We thank you that you're taking all of the
ashes and you're creating beauty out of them. And we thank you, God, that, yes, Lord, that we don't
have to, yes, the scripture that's coming to my mind, that we would not have a spirit of fear or
timidity, but we would have a spirit of love and of power and of a sound mind. Let's see here.
What other scriptures do we want to read? This one is, it says here in Ephesians 4, 21 through 24,
since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him,
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and
deception. Instead, let the spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes, put on your new nature,
created to be like God, truly righteous and holy. Lord, we thank you that Ecclesiastes 3, 6
says a time to search and a time to quit searching, a time to keep and a time to throw away. Lord,
we thank you that you would help us to recognize any areas that we are carrying baggage from the
past. Lord, reveal to us anything that we need to let go of in this season to make room for the new.
We thank you that you would continue to reveal these areas for healing of where we need to
forgive. We need to choose your grace where we need to confess and repent
for lifestyles and decisions that we used to partner with that do not serve us and they are
not leading us into the fullness of your plans for our lives. We thank you. Yes, Lord, we thank you
even areas when we get offended, ladies, that we would seek out and pursue forgiveness. We ask you
to help us, Lord God, to see the areas that you desire to give us an upgrade, help us to humble
ourselves under your mighty hand and to know that you will exalt us in due season.
John 3.16 says this, for this is how much God loved the world. He gave his one and only unique
son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting
life. Matthew 7.24-25 in the Passion Translation says this, everyone who hears my teaching and
applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakeable
foundation. When the rains fell and the flood came with
fierce winds beating upon his house.
It stood firm because of its strong foundation.
Lord, help us to have strong foundations in you.
I thank you that even tonight
that you would just continue to help the ladies
find their identity in you,
that they would become more and more secure and confident
in who you've created them to be
and who you are calling them to be.
Even now, we thank you, God,
that your word declares in Psalm 147, three through four,
he heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
He sets his stars in place, calling them all by their names.
God, we thank you that you call all of your daughters
and sons by name as well.
I thank you that you never slumber or sleep,
that your eyes are always on us
and you are working all things together
for the good of those who love you
and who live according to your purpose
to save many people alive.
Thank you, God, that when we give you our stories
and the things that we've been through,
God, that you can take all of our pain
and make it into a purpose.
I thank you, God, that we can surrender
completely and fully to you, to your plan, to your ways.
Help us to be sober and alert
and to be mindful of the enemy
and the way that he tries to sneak around
and prowl around like a lion,
seeking those in whom he might devour.
But thank you, God,
that you have placed your hedge protection around us,
that you covered every pit the enemy has set for us,
that we don't have to fear or be dismayed
because you've gone before us
and you are making a way for us to stand even now.
Ephesians 3, 17 through 19 says this,
then Christ will make his home in your hearts
as you trust in him.
Your roots will grow down into God's love
and keep you strong.
Remember that tree that I showed you all?
Here's a great example of that.
And may you have the power to understand
as all God's people should,
how wide, how long, how high,
how deep his love is.
May you experience the love of Christ,
though it is too great to understand fully,
that you will be made complete with all the fullness of life
and power that comes from God.
Ephesians 3, 20 through 21 says,
never doubt God's mighty power to work in you
and accomplish all of this.
He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request,
your most unbelievable dream
and exceed your wildest imagination.
He will outdo them all
for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.
God, thank you for your energy.
Thank you for filling us in a fresh way
with everything that we need
to fulfill the things that you call us to do.
Romans 8, 17 says, and since we are his true children,
we qualify to share all his treasures
for indeed we are heirs of God himself.
And since we are joined to Christ,
we also inherit all that he is and all that he has.
We will experience being co-glorified with him
provided that we accept his sufferings as our own.
Praise the Lord.
Welcome back, everyone.
Welcome back.
All right, ladies.
I hope this has been a blessing to you tonight.
What we're gonna do right now,
I'm gonna share with you your activation for this week.
I wanna see you all working on your root systems, okay?
That's activation number one.
I would love to see, you know,
you don't have to be super artsy,
but like, what do they look like right now?
If they've got, you know,
some roots in there that aren't good,
like, let's be honest about this,
write the ones that are good.
I want you to see the good and the not so good
and see where God can continue to heal
and share those in the group.
But here's another one.
I thought of this as I was praying for you all.
I haven't issued this in a while
and it came up in my spirit while I was praying.
So here's your other activation.
Actually, someone shared about this
in their weekly roll call that they are working on,
or maybe it was in their, I'm sorry, their activation.
It was in their activation from last week,
their list of things that God cares about.
One of the things that she wrote was decluttering,
in a sense, cleaning things out.
So what came to my mind
is as you all are working on these roots, right?
And you're looking at the areas
that you're asking God to bring healing and life
and restoration and all this stuff.
Here's one of the things that we,
Jackie gave this to my group a long time ago
and it really, sorry, y'all, I'm getting hot.
And it really was so powerful.
She encouraged us to ask the Lord
to reveal to us anything that we had in our homes
that we needed to get rid of.
So that we could make room for the new.
Okay, this can look a lot of different ways.
Eloise, I'll go over the first activation again
here in a second.
It can look a lot of different ways.
So I'm gonna give you some examples.
When we did this way back,
when I was going through my bootcamp and everything,
I prayed about it.
And at first I didn't really know
what I needed to get rid of.
And then one day I was cleaning out a closet
and I came across a box that honestly,
I didn't even know I still had.
It had all, like when I was in high school,
I had a boyfriend for a while
and he wrote me all kinds of notes,
which it was really fun and all this stuff.
But like, when I saw that box,
like I had teddy bears from him and all kinds of stuff.
And as soon as I saw it, the Lord was like,
this is what you need to get rid of.
Because here's the thing you all,
that was in a sense a tie that I was keeping
with that person.
That makes sense?
All right.
So it can be things like that.
Another example of something God showed me
is he led me to go through my phone
and get rid of pictures of my ex people
that I didn't need to hang on to.
Another example is my ex betrayed me a lot.
And so during the time I was with him,
I was always invested,
like I was always looking for evidence
of what he was doing.
Y'all, I had so many snapshots of these women
that he was doing this stuff with.
Like, you know, think when I would find his email
or stuff he would,
and I would screenshot it as evidence.
And literally some of the stuff I forgot I even had it.
But when I was going through my phone,
it was just like, oh my gosh.
And every time I would see that thing pop up,
I would feel that feeling again, right?
And for whatever reason, for years,
I still hung on to it,
like thinking I was gonna need to use it
to prove something,
but I didn't need to hang on to that.
Because guess what?
God is a God of vengeance.
If there's anything that needs done
regarding those situations,
God will take care of that.
Okay, I don't need to hold on to that.
Now, if you are in a court situation,
okay, you need to listen to what your lawyer is telling you.
Okay, that's totally different.
I was not in a court situation with him.
Okay, we were never married.
I didn't need to prove to anybody.
Okay, so just make sure you're not misunderstanding
what I'm saying there.
But those are just some examples, you all.
Make room for the new, it's time.
It's time for new things.
Some of you all might need to declutter.
Maybe you have extra clothes
that you haven't worn for years.
And if you're like me, you keep hanging on to them.
In the past, I would hang on to that stuff,
like I'm gonna get back into those jeans.
Y'all, I never got back into some of those jeans
and I kept hanging on to them.
And every time I would look at those,
I would feel guilt and shame.
And so God was like, you need to get rid of that.
So anything, anything, just trust the Holy Spirit
as he shows you what to do.
The first activation, Eloise,
almost kinda like you guys can do super simple
or you, if you're crafty and artsy,
you can make it look really cool.
Y'all, it could be this simple.
Here's my tree trunk.
Here's my roots.
If I go in and I start writing on my roots,
the positive and the negative roots,
that's what I wanna see, okay?
I didn't actually write things on here
because I just drew this today to remind myself
what I wanted to go over with you all, okay?
So when you all turn your picture in
and you share it in the group,
you're gonna have things written on the roots, okay?
And you might add more roots.
Yours might be up here and good and things,
maybe not so healthy roots that you need to still work on.
Everybody understand?
Did I explain that so everyone's on the same page with me?
Okay, cool.
All right, and again, these are just activations
and ideas of things y'all can do to help you partner
with the healing work that is happening in your life.
It's up to you whether or not you take advantage of those,
but I do believe it'll help you get additional breakthrough.
So let me pray for us.
And for those that are moving on, praise the Lord.
Yay, moving on to phase two, hopefully.
We will see you in phase two.
I have two other amazing coaches in phase two,
Carla and Ebony, you'll be meeting them over there.
And I oversee them.
So you guys might see me popping into that group
from time to time as well.
Y'all, I'm in all parts of this community.
So you guys will see me at all different times.
Yeah, so it's been an honor and a blessing
for those of you that are moving on to be a part
of this journey with you.
I'm so excited to see what else is ahead for you.
For those of you that aren't moving on yet,
we're gonna keep having a lot of fun
these next several weeks.
Continue on in your hard work.
Do not give up on yourself.
You've got this, okay?
All right.
Father, thank you so much for these amazing women.
God, I pray tonight that as they sleep,
God, give them new dreams.
Awaken dreams within them.
Help them to continue to see visions.
dreams of what you originally planned for them,
what you conceived in your heart as you were creating them.
I thank you, God, that you would help them
to know their identity more in you.
God, help them to become more firmly fixed and confident
in who you've created them to be,
that they would be secure and rooted
and grounded in your love.
God, I thank you that you would help them
to grow into a deeper love relationship with you,
that they would never be satisfied apart from you.
I thank you, Lord, for the plans and the promises
that you have for their lives.
I thank you, God, that you would continue to,
yes, Lord, help them to partner with fun and adventure
in choosing to live and hope more and more
in the days ahead.
In Jesus' name, amen.
God bless you all.
Love you guys.
I'll see you in the groups and on prayer
or wherever I see you all.
Have a good night.
Blessings, everybody.
Have a good week.
