Well, let's get started.
Week four is going to be about your success identity.
This is part of the human identity.
So, I don't know how many of you know this, but there's a part of you, a part of
your identity that's created by God to be successful in life, and we don't hear
that very often, but it's true.
And since you are the only one of you on planet earth right now, which, which
makes you incredibly valuable, because what makes something valuable is when
it's rare, and since each of you are one of a kind, you are so, so, so valuable.
And you're the only one of you that can do what you can do on this earth.
So, you have unique strengths, you have unique gifts, you have unique aptitudes,
you have unique skillsets, you have unique understandings and insights,
you have a unique creativity, you have unique ideas, and all of those things
that, that are part of you, that are built into you, encoded in your spirit,
are designed to externalize, to come out of you and to be successful.
And so, I think that when you are operating in your true identity and
you're doing what you're created to do, and you're fully being who you're made
to be, I think you automatically will be successful.
It goes along with it.
So, success, this is what success is.
Success is being who you're meant to be.
That's what it is.
And so, all of those unique things that I just described,
externalizing those in some way.
So, bringing what's really in you out externally.
And, and so you, you produce something, you create something, you, you contribute
something, something comes out of you from who you are internally.
That is success.
So, if you look in the Bible, there's several instances of this.
The, the one that I think of most of all is Abraham, when, when God brought him out
of his land, where he grew up and, and told him to go and, and he journeyed with
God, Abraham was very, very successful in every way he came up with his own unique
way of breeding a certain type of goat or sheep or whatever it was.
He was very financially successful.
He was successful in the land where God brought him and everybody there looked
at Abraham and knew that God was with him.
And so, for us, when we are successful in our life, it's glorifying to God
because people look at our life and they say, Oh, God is with them.
And so this is important because I think in Christian circles, a lot of times we've
been conditioned in some convoluted way to think that being successful is wrong or
something, or it's worldly or secular, but it's really not because God, God is always
successful, every single thing that he sets out to do and to accomplish, he is
successful, all of his plans, all of his purposes, all of his intentions are
successful.
And so since we look like God, since we're made in his image, the same goes for us.
When we are successful in our life, we actually reflect God.
We show who God is.
So this is really, really exciting.
And this is a huge thing because I see people all the time who are living and
functioning down almost beneath their true capabilities and capacities.
And I get really sad about that.
I think that that is really tragic because who you are is so incredibly
remarkable, just so fearfully and wonderfully made with unique characteristics
and qualities and traits and gifts and talents that those things need to be
coming out of you.
Those things ideally would be just flowing out of you in everything you do,
everything you put your hands to.
That's what the Bible says in the Old Testament.
That was one of the blessings that everything you put your hands to prospers
because that's what God wants for you.
It's for everything you put your hands to is prosperous and it's part of our
identity.
And so if we are in any way living beneath that, our true capabilities,
potentials, capacities, all of our strengths, gifts, all of those things,
if those are coming out in externalizing in some way, I get really sad about that.
I don't want anybody to be living that way.
So this is what I want to say.
Success is part of your identity, but it turns out we are not just
passive participants in this life.
I used to believe because I was taught, I grew up in church that God's in charge.
He does everything and we don't do anything.
And we just sit back and wait for God to do it all.
And the kind of relationship that we're invited into with God is a partnership.
And it's this incredible relationship that God does most of it.
He does the big stuff, like connecting us to the right people, moving us to the
right places, opening the right doors.
Yes, he does that.
But we're in this beautiful partnership where we walk with God and take steps.
And so we have some responsibility as well.
So we don't just sit back and wait for life to happen to us.
We are active.
It's this active participation and success does not happen by chance.
It happens by choice.
And this is true.
Um, it's a choice to be an active participant in the life God's given
us and to partner with him.
Because bringing out your, your success identity, and this is about any parts of
your identity, identity, it has to do with the state of being, not doing.
And, um, when you're being who you're meant to be, and you're connected to
yourself, your identity is just going to flow out of you and that's, that's what
it's meant to do.
It's meant to flow through your mind, through your emotions, through your will,
and then into your physical body and flow out of you in some external physical way.
That's what it's meant to do.
So your state of being, this is, this is what I want the focus to be.
Cause I don't want it to be like, Oh, you need to go do all these things right now.
It's more about focusing on your state of being.
So be aware, being aware of your identity, that it's real, it's within you.
And, and your identity is meant to be in motion because God is always in motion.
God's never stagnant.
He's always moving and we get to partner and move with God.
And so it's this divine flow where God's flowing and moving and we're moving with
him.
And so you just happened to run into that person today that was at the right time.
Everything works in this beautiful order and flow.
And when you're aware of that, it works.
I don't know what that is, but when you're aware of this flow and that you're in
motion with God, then you start to notice it.
So here's the next thing, be forgiving.
And this is one of the biggest things that I see where people's success identity gets
stuck is when you are too hard on yourself.
So you made a mistake before you did something that looks stupid before you
tried something that didn't work.
We've all had those, that part of being a human being.
But every time we make a mistake, we make a poor decision.
We, we after behave in a way that we realize, well, that wasn't right.
Or, you know, we missed an opportunity or all of those things.
It's really, really important to be forgiving of ourselves because when we
get hard on ourselves and criticize ourselves and like hold these things over
ourselves, it's going to block our success identity.
Be accepting, be accepting of who we are.
You know what?
Since you're the, since you're unique, you're the only one of you that exists.
You don't need to look like anyone else.
So let go of comparing yourself.
Like, why don't I look like that?
Why am I not doing that?
Why am I not at this point in my life?
Like they are.
So just let go of all that comparisons, judgments.
Anytime you judged yourself, rejected yourself.
I don't want to be this.
I don't want to be me.
I want to be like that.
No, be loving and accepting, accept yourself just the way you are.
Be out of hiding.
This is another thing is that a lot of us have been conditioned to cover up who we
are, to hide who we are, because we don't think we're good enough or smart enough
or we're embarrassed of ourselves or our family's not good enough, or we've
made too many mistakes, there's a bunch of different reasons, but there's this
almost like this human instinct to hide and to cover up ourselves and to put up
a front, to put on a mask that's going to really block your success identity.
Because the Bible says not to cover up the light within you.
Like we're meant to be a city on a hill to shine.
And it takes a lot of courage to do that because that means you, you have
to put yourself out for people to see.
But that's the best way to less be in agreement with God, be in agreement
with God about his design of you, about who you are, he's the one that came up
with you, he's the one that came up with your identity and encoded it into your
spirit, so agree with him and be in a state of consent.
You only consent to the kingdom of God within you.
That's what your consent to living according to.
Um, be giving, always giving yourself appreciation, grace, thanks, patience,
mercy, love, just whatever you would give to your child.
child or to someone else, give to yourselves and then be trusting.
I've realized that not only is it important to 100% trust God, but it's
equally as important to trust yourself because if you don't get to the point
where you trust yourself, as soon as you're up against a Goliath or a battle
or a situation that's intimidating, scary or difficult, and you don't trust
yourself, you're not going to stand your ground, you're going to back off.
So it's super, super important.
Be free, be liberated.
There's nothing holding you back.
You are completely free in Christ to be yourself.
So be free, be free.
So I want to show this scripture because it's really good.
Luke 17 20 says that the kingdom of God is within you.
So the kingdom of God is not like up in the sky.
It's not like up in the sky above the clouds.
The kingdom of God is within you because we're connected to God,
heart to heart, spirit to spirit.
And so his kingdom is flowing into us all the time.
That's where his kingdom is.
And so for your success identity, the proper flow is for the kingdom of God
that's within you to fill your spirit, united with your spirit, you know, you're
one with, with God and his kingdom for that, to fill your soul, to flow up
through you again, and the kingdom of God with you, with your identity coming
out of you in some external way, it's going to look like something.
So the kingdom of God flowing out of you combined with your identity, it's
going to produce something powerful.
It's going to create something.
It's going to affect something.
It's going to influence something.
It's going to contribute in some way, something that flows out of you and it
can't help but be something remarkable, incredible, and successful.
Okay.
So for your home learning, I'm going to teach you how to do this
and I'm going to walk you through it.
It's called a tapping.
Some of you may be familiar with tapping.
It's when you tap on certain pressure points on your body.
And when you tap on these points, you can disrupt thought patterns.
You can disrupt stress patterns, neuropathways that have stress in them
that have lies in them, or that are not useful to you and it's an easy thing to
do because all you got to do is tap on a pressure point while you're
saying certain words out loud.
And it's a psychological reversal.
There you go.
Okay.
So I'm going to teach you how to do it.
And then I want you to do it throughout this week, as many times as you think
about it so that you can interrupt any, any thought patterns or anything that
has kept you, your success identity stuck, not able to flow through you and out of
you.
Okay.
So you can pick any hand on the side of your hand, kind of follow your pinky.
There's this like little shelf right here.
And you're going to take all four of these fingers, not your thumb, and
you're going to tap right here.
And while you're tapping that, that literally reverses bad thoughts and
negative thoughts and negative thought patterns and mindsets.
And when you reverse a negative thought pattern or mindset and it gets out of the
brain, your brain and your mind gets out of the way, then hopefully the idea is
for what's in your spirit to be able to flow through and take over.
And I've used this a lot and it's really helpful.
And it's something so easy that you can do.
So let's do this all together.
And I'm going to have you repeat after me and I'm going to, I'm going to
attach it so you will have it.
So when you do this exercise, you always start with, even though, because when you
start with the words, even though it's, it's meaning you haven't made this change
yet, but you're going to, so you're going to tap and I'm going to have you repeat
after me, say, even though I'm not exactly where I want to be, even though I've made
mistakes, believed lies about myself, lived beneath who I really am, and have
permitted bondages and blockages, I completely and utterly love and accept
myself, just the way that I am.
That's the way that I am.
Yes.
Okay.
So that's so easy.
And when you disrupt those, those negative thought patterns, mindsets, you literally
your nervous system, the neural pathways and brainwaves, those shut off and you can start to
function in connection with yourself. Because listen, the more that you are united with your
own self, connected to your own self in support and working with yourself, the more your success
identity and all the pieces of your identity are going to flow through you and out of you.
Whenever you're working against yourself, you actually block it. So this tapping is gonna
almost train you to start to work with yourself because guess what? God 100% loves and accepts
you right now just the way you are. If you never did one more thing in your life, if you never
improved one more thing, changed one more thing, did one more thing ever in your whole life,
God wouldn't love you any less or any more. You are 100% loved by him, accepted just the way
that you are. So if your creator feels that way about you, then it would be in all of our best
interest to be in alignment with what he thinks about us. Because if you don't have that same
mentality towards yourself, you're working against yourself. And when you're working against your own
self, those things that are in your spirit and your heart cannot come out of you because you're
closing the door of your soul when you work against yourself. So as many times as you think
about it this week, do that little tapping thing. And if you think of anything else you want to add,
feel free because it's not gonna hurt you. You can't mess this tapping thing up. There's no
side effects. You can't do it wrong. It's not gonna hurt you. It's only gonna help you change
negative thought patterns and mindsets. Are you guys ready to step into your true
success capability? Yes. I'm so excited for you all. It is such an adventure to walk with God
in this way because God desires you to be successful. Because the more successful you are,
the more opportunity you have to reflect him to the world and have an influence in the world
and to influence and impact your atmosphere around you. Okay, so let me pray for you all.
God, thank you so much for each one of these incredible representatives of you here on this
earth that are reflections of your image and likeness. Thank you for how remarkable they are,
how fearfully and wonderfully made and designed they are. Thank you God for these unique identity
mixes. And I thank you God that your desire is for each of us to be successful, to fully be
who you created us to be and to externalize who we are in some way. And thank you that you are
for us. You're working in the unseen to help us and to assist us in this. And so I just call forth
right now all of your success identities that have been blocked, or stagnant, or detached,
or disconnected, or shut down, or any inoperable in any way. I call forth all of your success
identities to attach, to connect, to unite to yourself and to begin to come through your mind
and your emotions. And as your will takes it to bring it forward into your physical bodies and to
produce, to invent, to create, to influence, to affect, and contribute out of who you are
to this world who desperately needs who you are and what you carry. And I bless you in this process
and I declare divine protection and safety over all of you, over your spirits, souls, bodies,
properties, possessions, families, in Jesus name. Amen. Amen.
