00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.640
I want to talk through this particular Kingdom Leadership Routine concept.

2
00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:11.120
So if we take the idea that Kingdom Leadership Routines is just a habit with the soul, it

3
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.120
means that our way of being with the Lord comes from the way He wants to be with us.

4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:21.240
And I think for many of us, we're just discovering, maybe for the first time, what that actually

5
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.320
means.

6
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:23.700
What does it actually mean?

7
00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:26.280
How does God want to be with me?

8
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:31.480
And when we get out of the performance Christianity game and we get out of that space and we're

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:37.560
truly set free, suddenly we realize that all along He's wanted to be in with us.

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.920
He's not interested in stepping into our reality.

11
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.040
He's interested in uplifting us up into His reality, into His world.

12
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:52.000
And we don't have a perception that His world includes our business, that His world includes

13
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.840
my relationships, that His world includes my finance, that His world includes all of

14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.040
this because you and He are one.

15
00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:04.280
It would be a bit like how weird would it be if a spouse, you know, if a husband said

16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.240
to his wife, well, those are your problems.

17
00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:08.240
But it's our marriage.

18
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:09.240
Yeah, yeah.

19
00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:10.240
But it's you.

20
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:11.240
You're the problem.

21
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:13.840
But when you get sorted out, I'll be there for you.

22
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.040
That's what religion teaches the bride who she is.

23
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.160
When you get your act together, then I'll be a husband to you.

24
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:23.960
What kind of husband would do that, just saying, you know?

25
00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:29.280
And so you've got the bride pleading, calling it prayer, you know, Lord, give me your favor.

26
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.280
He said, I gave you all the favor of heaven, everything that's, if I didn't withhold my

27
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.720
own son, how much more will I not give you all things?

28
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.240
So what's happening is we're entering into a time of revelation worldwide in which kingdom

29
00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:51.120
leaders have to lead in a completely new way because they're now empowered to walk

30
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.200
with God in a new way because of how He wants to be with each of us.

31
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.760
So I put together something that I hoped will help.

32
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.360
If you think of each routine, I said it has four elements.

33
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:04.920
It has a prompt or a cure or a trigger, whatever you want to call that.

34
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.720
But to make them all P's, I called it the prompt, the permission, the practice, and

35
00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:10.400
the person you're becoming.

36
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.400
So what's the prompt?

37
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.360
What causes this routine to be triggered?

38
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.800
Then what's the permission?

39
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.800
We want as believers to know that we have permission from the Lord.

40
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.360
We have scriptural permission of how He wants to be with us, permission that He's binding

41
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.580
Himself to this permission.

42
00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:32.520
So when He says, consider yourself dead to sin and alive to me, He's binding Himself

43
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:33.960
to that promise.

44
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.200
That means He considers you dead to sin and alive to Him.

45
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:41.480
So therefore, He's only talking to you about how to be alive to Him.

46
00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:43.440
He's talking to you about your righteousness.

47
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:46.760
He's not dealing with sin because He already dealt with it at the cross.

48
00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:48.240
And then what's the practice?

49
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.440
What's the practice that we're going to do until it becomes automatic?

50
00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:55.400
We've talked about the example of driving a car.

51
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.920
When you first learn, every single piece seems very mechanical and stiff and unnatural.

52
00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:05.080
And now you put the car in gear and where's the brake and how hard do I have to brake

53
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:06.720
before the traffic light?

54
00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:10.960
And then after a while, after some practice, it becomes so in autopilot, you don't even

55
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:11.960
think about driving.

56
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.000
You just think about, I've got to go from here to there and your mind's actually on

57
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.640
something else and you just arrive where you were meant to go because it now became part.

58
00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:20.800
Now that's what it is.

59
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:21.800
You have a new nature.

60
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.480
You're not practicing something to become someone.

61
00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:29.040
You're practicing it because you are someone.

62
00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:30.560
You have a new nature already.

63
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.200
Christ in you is your new nature and you're practicing that to make it permanent.

64
00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:36.200
Why?

65
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.320
Because old nature taught you bad habits and bad routines and now you're learning new

66
00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:41.440
nature routines.

67
00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:42.440
That's all.

68
00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:46.200
So that's what we're putting off, those old nature routines.

69
00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:49.320
And so you don't have, you can't say, well, I have a sin nature.

70
00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:51.280
No, you just have a sin habit.

71
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.280
That's all.

72
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:53.280
You don't have a sin nature.

73
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.800
Jesus dealt with that old nature.

74
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:55.800
It died.

75
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.920
When Christ died, you died.

76
00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:02.320
When Christ was raised, you were raised in newness of life and God didn't raise the

77
00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:04.040
old man.

78
00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:06.760
He only raised the new man in Jesus.

79
00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:10.480
And so when that becomes permanent, we're learning these routines, but now we're picking

80
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:13.400
it up a level into a leadership role.

81
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:19.120
So that's why these 12 kingdom leadership routines that we're going to go through together

82
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.640
is to bring us to that level of leadership.

83
00:04:22.640 --> 00:04:25.800
And then the question is, well, then what person am I becoming?

84
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.900
Well, I'm becoming all, I'm being made in His image and likeness.

85
00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:33.040
So there are the four Ps.

86
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.040
What's the prompt?

87
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.040
What causes the trigger?

88
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.200
It's like I pick up my keys.

89
00:04:36.200 --> 00:04:37.200
That's the prompt.

90
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:44.080
And the automated, the automated routine of I can drive comes from a permission.

91
00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:45.240
I have a driver's license.

92
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.080
I have the permission.

93
00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:53.000
And the automatic response is I drive and now I'm a person who's mobile.

94
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.480
So all of these elements have elements of that.

95
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.200
So I'll try to make it really simple.

96
00:04:57.200 --> 00:04:58.820
So let's go through what does that mean?

97
00:04:58.820 --> 00:05:00.040
So I've put these together.

98
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.680
together. And already, as you know, we covered the first one, reset to rest. What was the

99
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:11.720
prompt there? When I have stress, worry, anxiety, trying to gain access to my life. What's the

100
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:17.800
permission? Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you, Jesus said. Do not let your hearts

101
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:22.520
be troubled and do not be afraid. That is your permission. Okay, well, your permission

102
00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:28.380
is a bound contract from the Father to you, from Jesus to you. And what's the practice?

103
00:05:28.380 --> 00:05:33.620
I let the peace of Christ reign. I don't pray for peace. I let the fact that the Prince

104
00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:40.620
of Peace lives in me, I let his peace reign. Because peace is now a ruling power in my

105
00:05:40.900 --> 00:05:46.260
life. What does ruling power mean? Permanent. It's not Tuesdays and Fridays, then he's king,

106
00:05:46.260 --> 00:05:52.620
and then he forgets to be king on Wednesday because you forgot. He doesn't lose his reign

107
00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:57.900
because you don't remember. So, it's okay. You get to practice in his grace, right? Now,

108
00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:04.260
what person would you become if peace was permanent? Well, I am untroubled. I'm a calm

109
00:06:04.260 --> 00:06:10.900
leader who lives in permanent peace. So, knowing that stress and worry are unnecessary when

110
00:06:10.900 --> 00:06:16.020
I have so much rest available, that's who you're becoming. Now, I don't know about you,

111
00:06:16.020 --> 00:06:20.100
but that makes me super excited. And I'm hearing that in your voices. I'm hearing that in your

112
00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:25.340
learning that many of you are finding that place of peace and rest, which is beautiful.

113
00:06:25.340 --> 00:06:30.900
The next one we looked at is new every morning. This kills the enemy, man. This is the killer.

114
00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:35.060
This is why it sucks to be the enemy, because he has to start new every single day with

115
00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:39.500
you, as long as you don't let him compound yesterday's negatives into today. So, what's

116
00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:45.420
the prompt? When compounding negatives and yesterday's issues are weighing on me, whoa,

117
00:06:45.420 --> 00:06:51.620
whoa, whoa, cancel, hit the big red button, reset. So, the steadfast of the Lord never

118
00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:56.980
ceases. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. So, that's my permission.

119
00:06:56.980 --> 00:07:03.180
That's why God's bound himself to make this a reality to you. What's the practice? I close

120
00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:08.460
each day with him. Go to sleep at night in peace. For those of you that are on the Brilliant

121
00:07:08.460 --> 00:07:12.620
Plus app, you must be loving Brilliant Sleep. Brilliant for sleep is fantastic. You just

122
00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:18.700
go to sleep with all those prophetic. Go to sleep in peace. Wake up in peace. And you

123
00:07:18.700 --> 00:07:22.660
start every day fresh. So, you set an expectation. Lord, I know you're going to be good to me

124
00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:25.940
today. Yeah, well, what about all the stuff from yesterday? Yeah, well, yesterday's gone

125
00:07:25.940 --> 00:07:31.740
now, isn't it? I'm starting fresh. I'm only focused on today. What kind of person would

126
00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:37.060
you become if new every morning was permanent in your life? It means I'm becoming a kingdom

127
00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:42.980
leader by starting every day fresh in the Lord, upgrading my expectation of his goodness.

128
00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:46.980
Hey, guys, I want to say something about this. You know, it occurred to me recently that

129
00:07:47.020 --> 00:07:51.620
your brain, which is just like having a computer in your bag, except you've got it on top of

130
00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:56.460
your shoulders, your brain is doing nothing more than trying to serve you. So, your brain

131
00:07:56.460 --> 00:08:03.460
knows that, hey, there's a rustle there in the bushes. Is that the wind? Or is that a

132
00:08:03.460 --> 00:08:07.140
lion? So, what does the brain do? It's there to serve you. What would it do? It's going

133
00:08:07.140 --> 00:08:11.820
to exaggerate the negativity. Why? Because if it says, oh, it's only the wind and it's

134
00:08:11.820 --> 00:08:18.740
a lion, not good. But if it says it's a lion but it's only the wind, okay, well, at least

135
00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:22.020
you were safe. You can see how the brain thinks, right? Because that's how the brain's designed

136
00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:28.420
to serve you. Now, the renewed mind doesn't do any of that because it has no response

137
00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:33.620
to the negative. It responds to the Lord, not to the negative situation. So, now there's

138
00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:39.380
this rewiring. So, what your brain learns over time is to give you the highest negative possible

139
00:08:39.380 --> 00:08:45.700
response to save you. And it knows that you've expected certain things in the past and they

140
00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:50.540
didn't work out. So, lower your expectation to the lowest possible expectation of what

141
00:08:50.540 --> 00:08:56.700
God may or may not do. This is what worldliness does to our thinking. Well, what new every

142
00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:02.380
morning does is we start every morning expecting God to be spectacular every day. And our expectations

143
00:09:02.380 --> 00:09:08.420
get higher and higher because expectation is, Lord, I know that you are faithful. I

144
00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:14.780
know that you are good. So, I love... And so, today we're hitting this third one. We've

145
00:09:14.780 --> 00:09:18.660
covered the other two before. That was just a quick reminder. And by the way, when we

146
00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:22.740
finish, we're going to be giving you these in groups of four. And when you finish, you'll

147
00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:27.260
have all 12. And these are the ones that... By the way, I'm not sharing anything I don't

148
00:09:27.260 --> 00:09:32.060
actually use in my own life. So, please, I didn't pull this... I didn't go to chat GPT

149
00:09:32.060 --> 00:09:38.900
and say, make this up. All right. So, new creation. When my old self tries to remind

150
00:09:38.900 --> 00:09:45.900
me of who I used to be or who I'm not, the Lord says, hey, we're going to do this. Oh,

151
00:09:45.900 --> 00:09:53.020
Lord, I don't know if I'm up to that. I don't know, you know. And the Lord says, hey, if

152
00:09:53.020 --> 00:09:58.460
anyone is in Christ, he has your permission, he's a new creation. The oldest passed away.

153
00:09:58.460 --> 00:09:59.980
Behold, all things have...

154
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.480
become new. So what's the practice? I only work on my new self, because the old self

155
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.560
is dead. We've used the illustration many, many times. We don't go to the graveyard,

156
00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:15.840
stand there and shout at the tombstone about how it should behave. Or worse, dig it up,

157
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.640
put some makeup on it, take it to the dance. That's gross. No need to patch up the old

158
00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:27.640
self. The way you deal with the old self is you ignore it. Consider it dead, because God

159
00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:32.920
does. And you're only working on your new nature in Christ. Isn't that the most freeing

160
00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:39.640
thing ever? No need to fix the old me, because it's dead. All right, what kind of leader

161
00:10:39.640 --> 00:10:46.640
do you become? I'm becoming like Jesus, living in His nature. And I love that Paul said he's

162
00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:53.640
no longer I that live, but Christ who lives in me. I love that. You know, when you're

163
00:10:53.640 --> 00:10:59.520
thinking about that for a second, and you're only working on the new, so much of trying

164
00:10:59.520 --> 00:11:06.520
to fix me is out the door, because He is the architect of your salvation. While I've been

165
00:11:06.520 --> 00:11:13.520
learning this, I discovered an unusual issue around this. It's not just that the old man

166
00:11:14.520 --> 00:11:20.760
tries to, you know, demand your attention or wants you to focus on the old, but there's

167
00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:27.360
something even more vicious. And that is the old man tries to sabotage you, because you

168
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:34.360
learn these sabotage techniques, these self-sabotaging mechanisms. And I love the way, I've forgotten

169
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:43.080
exactly who it says, equated it to the idea of dropping grenades. So perhaps, you know,

170
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:47.000
I think, you know, there's so much research around this that's been going on that I'm

171
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:52.760
really fascinated by from a Kingdom perspective, because many of us are preventing ourselves,

172
00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:57.040
perhaps you are preventing yourselves from achieving your goals without even realizing

173
00:11:57.040 --> 00:12:03.040
it. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this in Kingdom leaders. They'll grow to a

174
00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:08.440
point and it's almost like they don't believe they deserve more, and then they sabotage

175
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:15.160
it from that point on. And it appears in like really sneaky ways, like, you know, not accepting

176
00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:20.040
a promotion, or hindering your own efforts to take your business to the next level, or

177
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:24.360
feeling like you're inadequate, or you're not that good, or you're not that, or you're...

178
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.680
Listen, just ordinary people throughout Scripture change the course of history because they

179
00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:33.720
walked with God. That's the criteria. Are you in Christ? Yes. Are you in new creation?

180
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:40.720
Yes. So there is an old habit for many of us. Maybe you grew up or inherited chaos.

181
00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:45.760
Maybe you grew up in chaos. Maybe you came home to chaos at home and you developed a

182
00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:51.240
whole pile of chaos skills. I was surprised to learn, I think it was actually from Dan

183
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:58.240
Martell's, one of his trainings, around the idea that something like 90-something percent

184
00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:04.800
of entrepreneurs come from a chaos environment. And what happens is you become sort of addicted

185
00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:10.600
to the chaos because it feels normal to you. What Jesus is offering you is a new normal

186
00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:17.640
in Him. This idea of being at rest, and trust, and letting Him take you to the level He wants,

187
00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:24.640
this is what makes a new creation kingdom leader so extraordinary. You know, and I've

188
00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:30.280
seen this before. It's like you're just about to have that breakthrough and then the leader

189
00:13:30.280 --> 00:13:34.800
throws a grenade. They just blow it up. They just blow up the deal. You know, they blow

190
00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:39.880
up the opportunity. They blow up the potential because somewhere deep in their inner self

191
00:13:39.880 --> 00:13:46.880
their brain told them they're not worthy. Here's a quick way around all that. What if

192
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:53.240
Jesus deserves for you to be blessed? Didn't He pay for that? You know, was there anything

193
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:58.280
more He could pay for? If the Father didn't withhold His own Son, how much more will He

194
00:13:58.280 --> 00:14:02.720
not give you all things? Now you have the Holy Spirit, your guide, your coach, your

195
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:07.920
teacher, and Jesus offers a yoke, a partnership, and pull the load with you. How much does

196
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.880
He deserve? So my new question to the Lord is when I suspect the grenade thing, maybe

197
00:14:13.880 --> 00:14:18.960
some of you are recognizing some of yourself in this, is to say, Lord, what does this mean

198
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:25.960
for you, number one? And number two is, Lord, you deserve to have this. How do you see me

199
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:33.280
in this relationship? I start with the fact that Jesus deserves. So what happens is we

200
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:38.480
stop trying to sabotage ourselves. We stop procrastinating. We stop putting off things

201
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:45.480
we know we ought to do to move the organization forward because we know that He deserves this.

202
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:52.720
So I wanted to talk just briefly about what's helped me personally exchange the chaos for

203
00:14:54.000 --> 00:15:01.000
peace. You know, the Kingdom Solution is I don't need to only have a set of spiritual

204
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.080
Skills that survive in chaos.

205
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.440
Look, when you're an entrepreneur, there is chaos to what you're doing.

206
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.680
There's chaos to the process of of going through this,

207
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.760
you know, giving birth to something, starting something new, building a business.

208
00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:16.360
There is a certain chaos to it.

209
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.880
And we and if we grew up in chaos, we have skills to cope with that.

210
00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:24.440
But now we need to add to those skills a whole new set of skills

211
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.560
to take a business not just into a steady state mode,

212
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.600
but now for it to scale and have impact.

213
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.280
It's that we're usually afraid of.

214
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.280
You know, what if this company went public?

215
00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:38.480
And now I'm a CEO of a public company.

216
00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.200
Or what if this idea, you know, went viral?

217
00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:44.240
What if I'm suddenly known?

218
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.120
You know, am I enough?

219
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.560
And the point is, Jesus is enough in you.

220
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:50.400
So I love what Jesus said.

221
00:15:50.400 --> 00:15:52.480
John 16, 33.

222
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.760
These things I've spoken to you

223
00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:00.160
that in me, you will have peace in the world.

224
00:16:00.160 --> 00:16:01.840
You will have tribulation.

225
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.280
Hey, but be of good cheer.

226
00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:05.520
Be happy because I've overcome the world.

227
00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:08.080
He is the overcomer in you.

228
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.360
And you and he are one that makes you an overcomer in Christ.

229
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.000
He's an overcomer in you.

230
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.360
You're an overcomer in him.

231
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.960
Don't you just love that double relationship that you have?

232
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.240
So when you have trouble, kingdom solution, be of good cheer,

233
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.160
not because bad stuff's happening, not because of the trouble,

234
00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:28.680
but because of the overcoming you and the fact that you're becoming like him,

235
00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:31.480
i.e. an overcomer.

236
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.920
So I love this.

237
00:16:32.920 --> 00:16:36.000
You know, in Matthew 14, 27, Jesus said,

238
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.280
but immediately Jesus spoke to them saying, be of good cheer.

239
00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:43.000
Do not be afraid.

240
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:43.560
I love that.

241
00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:45.880
He just wants you to saying, don't be afraid.

242
00:16:46.280 --> 00:16:49.160
The idea that you can simply not be afraid.

243
00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:51.680
Did you? This is like turning the switch.

244
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.720
It's not a process of becoming less and less afraid.

245
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.680
It's just don't be afraid. Why?

246
00:16:58.160 --> 00:17:01.440
Because in the kingdom, we don't work on stopping stuff.

247
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:02.760
That's a religious idea.

248
00:17:02.760 --> 00:17:04.800
Stop sinning. Stop this. Stop that.

249
00:17:04.800 --> 00:17:07.200
And the kingdom works on a replacement mechanism.

250
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.839
Replace chaos with peace.

251
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.480
Replace faith.

252
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.599
Replace fear with faith.

253
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.359
You don't need to have fear because you have faith

254
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:21.760
and you have perfect love.

255
00:17:21.760 --> 00:17:24.400
We know perfect love casts out fear.

256
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.839
So when we do this exchange.

257
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:32.200
So the question then is, Lord, I'm done with self-sabotage.

258
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:38.440
Show me how we can walk together in what's next for the business.

259
00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:40.400
What's next for the family?

260
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.040
What's next for me?

261
00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:44.080
And what does it mean to you?

262
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:50.600
I love I love that there are two biblical models for leadership.

263
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.600
There's an old covenant model and there's a new covenant model.

264
00:17:53.600 --> 00:17:57.120
In the old covenant model, there was a standard to live up to.

265
00:17:57.520 --> 00:18:00.560
You were here. Here was the standard. Here was the gap.

266
00:18:01.040 --> 00:18:04.480
If you use this old covenant model in your organization,

267
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.160
your people will always feel like they're falling short

268
00:18:08.560 --> 00:18:10.560
because you'll be saying to him, this is my standard.

269
00:18:10.560 --> 00:18:12.840
You've not met my standard. See the gap.

270
00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:16.920
So on your so your employees on their best day, they have a small gap

271
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.440
and on their worst days, they have a huge gap, but there's a gap.

272
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.680
And so what we're always focusing on problem solving

273
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.280
and we're always calling people out on their mistakes.

274
00:18:27.560 --> 00:18:29.880
And there's always the gap, the gap, the gap, the gap.

275
00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:35.200
Now, when Jesus came, he fully fulfilled the law on your behalf.

276
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.280
In Christ, the law has been fully fulfilled in you.

277
00:18:38.280 --> 00:18:41.480
So when you're reading the Old Testament, the Old Covenant, Old Testament,

278
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.760
all those promises that were conditional have now been made.

279
00:18:44.760 --> 00:18:47.080
Yes. And a man in Christ in you.

280
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.160
So what's the second biblical option?

281
00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:54.440
What is a new covenant biblical kingdom leadership look like?

282
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.120
And that is possibilities to live into.

283
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.360
So while the law was a standard to live up to,

284
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.400
the kingdom is a possibility to live into.

285
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.440
You see, it starts with I'm fully accepted in the beloved.

286
00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:10.760
Therefore, this is a new possibility for me

287
00:19:10.760 --> 00:19:13.400
because in Christ, all things are possible.

288
00:19:14.040 --> 00:19:17.000
And even with my team, I'm calling them out to call them up.

289
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.440
I'm not just calling them out.

290
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.920
And so we speak to them one level above where they actually are

291
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.680
because we always calling them up because that's what the Lord does for us.

292
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.600
God is always speaking to you at the next level

293
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.920
of your understanding of who you are in him.

294
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:39.320
So I love for us as kingdom leaders that we can bypass this whole

295
00:19:39.320 --> 00:19:42.520
I'm not enough thing or I don't deserve it.

296
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:47.600
And therefore your brain, your unrenewed part of your brain

297
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.240
is saying to you, well, you can't pull that off.

298
00:19:51.280 --> 00:19:53.360
You're not enough. What if it doesn't work?

299
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:59.200
Let's put that aside because that's just a form of fear and self sabotage.

300
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.840
Let's replace it with, Jesus, you deserve this.

301
00:20:03.840 --> 00:20:06.040
All things are possible in you.

302
00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:08.000
And I love this for us because that

303
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:13.080
means where your business can go, there is no limit set.

304
00:20:13.080 --> 00:20:15.240
So it would be very interesting to ask the Lord,

305
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.760
what does this business mean for you?

306
00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:20.340
What does this product mean to you?

307
00:20:20.340 --> 00:20:22.320
And I love asking the Lord that question

308
00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:25.040
because it takes the pressure off me where

309
00:20:25.040 --> 00:20:27.800
I feel I have to be someone.

310
00:20:27.800 --> 00:20:29.800
Hope that was helpful.
