00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Hello, welcome.

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Hi, everyone.

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.000
Happy Monday.

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.000
I'm going to wait for a minute while people are logging in.

5
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.000
We'll start here in just a moment.

6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
Those that are new, if your screen says iPhone,

7
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.000
if you can tap, like, on your screen,

8
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000
there should be a three-button thing where it's like three dots.

9
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.000
It's not a button.

10
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.000
Three dots on the thing, and you tap on that.

11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.000
And it should give you the option to rename your screen.

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
And you can put your first and last name in or first name.

13
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
At least let me have your first name so that I don't have to call you

14
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.000
iPhone, preferably.

15
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.000
And if you're not somewhere that you can do that, it is totally okay.

16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.000
So welcome again.

17
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.000
My name is Bethany Cooper.

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000
I'm one of the HeartWork coaches here in the community.

19
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.000
I am also, I guess, what's considered a master coach.

20
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000
That's what Jackie and David call me now.

21
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.000
But I train the other HeartWork coaches that are in progress to become

22
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.000
coaches with us.

23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.000
And it's just been a super exciting time.

24
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.000
So many new people are joining our program.

25
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.000
We're so glad to have you with us.

26
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.000
If you are new, it's your first live session.

27
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.000
You've never been with us on a live session before.

28
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.000
We'd love for you to put that in the chat for us so we can welcome you.

29
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.000
And I want to encourage you all, when you're able to come on screen,

30
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.000
if you don't know,

31
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.000
that's something we love to do here in phase one and beyond.

32
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.000
I want to encourage you all to let yourselves be seen,

33
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.000
even if you weren't planning on it.

34
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.000
Even if your hair is not done, all the things.

35
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.000
Let us see you and allow yourself to be known.

36
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.000
Couple, just really only one housekeeping item tonight.

37
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.000
I wanted to keep it really short.

38
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.000
Supernatural Saturday. If you all didn't hear it,

39
00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.000
I built on something that Jackie started two weeks ago, Saturday,

40
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.000
taste and see,

41
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.000
and she started talking about the importance of walking and spiritual

42
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.000
gifts and being rooted in love as we do those.

43
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.000
And then after her and I chatted,

44
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.000
We decided to do a session on the gift of faith,

45
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.000
but not only that helping you all understand the difference between

46
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000
having faith, you know,

47
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.000
saving faith when we give our lives to Christ versus measure of faith.

48
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.000
Versus the gift of faith. And what is the difference between those?

49
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.000
So I believe that will help you all in your walk with the Lord.

50
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.000
Even if you've been saved for a really long time,

51
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.000
sometimes just hearing something from somebody different can give greater

52
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.000
understanding. So I hope that's a blessing to you all.

53
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.000
That is under the replay tab in the app.

54
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.000
First session. Let's see. We have a couple ladies.

55
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.000
I'm seeing that in the chat now. Hi, Julia. Welcome Madison Armstrong.

56
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.000
Welcome.

57
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.000
That's okay. You're doing great. I actually see your name.

58
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.000
So it looks like your screen's good to go there. Martina. Is it.

59
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.000
Coco Silva.

60
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.000
Did I get that right?

61
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.000
Okay.

62
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:05.000
I'm sorry.

63
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.000
I don't know if I got that right.

64
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.000
Martina's new.

65
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.000
Oh, this is your first live, but you're finishing.

66
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.000
Wait, finishing phase one week five.

67
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.000
So you've been here for a while, but haven't been able to be on a live.

68
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.000
I'm so glad that you're here.

69
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.000
And then another first timer.

70
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.000
And then once you are able to change your screen name,

71
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.000
Okay.

72
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.000
So we're going to go through a couple things for a few weeks.

73
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.000
Welcome back.

74
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.000
Hi.

75
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.000
So good to see you all.

76
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.000
We have a couple of things we're going to go through tonight.

77
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.000
Supernatural surrender.

78
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.000
And just some different aspects that the Lord was really impressing on

79
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.000
me to share with you all this morning that I'm going to kind of plant

80
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.000
some seeds before we step into supernatural surrender.

81
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000
I just want you all to know that the Lord is working with us.

82
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.000
And He's launching this opportunity for all of us in this community to

83
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.000
step into the real you that God wants to awaken the real you.

84
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.000
And.

85
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.000
Really kind of leaning into some things to help you all do that as

86
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.000
well.

87
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.000
We have a lot to cover.

88
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.000
And I really want to make sure y'all have to breakout tonight.

89
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.000
So I'm going to go ahead and get started. Let me pray for us.

90
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:30.000
Lord, I thank you for everything that you do for us.

91
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.000
God, your love, your peace, God,

92
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.000
everything that you are and then some God,

93
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000
we thank you that you pour that out into us tonight.

94
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.000
Lord, I thank you that even right now,

95
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.000
where the enemy would try to resist your truth, to resist your presence.

96
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.000
We thank you.

97
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.000
And that you would just place your hedge of protection around our

98
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.000
hearts, our minds, our bodies, our spirits, and our souls.

99
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.000
Help us to hear what your spirit is saying louder than any voice of the

100
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.000
enemy that you would bring things from the darkness into the light so

101
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.000
that there can be revealing for healing and transformation. God,

102
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.000
that you would come and work.

103
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.080
in us supernaturally tonight that you would help us to hear what your spirit is saying.

104
00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:11.280
God, help us to, yes, Lord, to partner with your truth, to come out of alignment with lies and

105
00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:19.040
unbelief and wrong perceptions of who you are, God. We thank you that you would help us to discern

106
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:25.760
the difference between darkness and light in our life and help us to use those things to lead us

107
00:05:25.760 --> 00:05:32.960
into the truth that sets us free. We know that your word declares that your truth is what sets

108
00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:38.000
us free as we partner with that, as we live in that, as we walk in that. So Lord, we ask you

109
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.080
to help us do all those things. You say that you'll empower us, you'll equip us, you've gone

110
00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:50.800
before us, so we thank you for that even now. In Jesus' name, amen. So the place I want to start

111
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:59.840
tonight, ladies, is this. Fellowship with God is greatly hindered when we choose darkness over

112
00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:05.760
light. When we choose darkness over light. And what I want to emphasize is that sometimes we're

113
00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:13.520
not even consciously choosing darkness. Sometimes darkness kind of invades our space because of

114
00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:18.640
things we've gone through in the past and those things that are not healed. When we show up in

115
00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:25.760
situations, we may not be showing up as our full, alive self. What do I mean by that? The person that

116
00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:30.480
God originally created us to be. So I'm going to give you an example. I was kind of leaning into

117
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.920
this more this afternoon, even after our first live session. And I want to give you an example

118
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:44.960
because I think this will become more and more clear. When you all go to be intimate with your

119
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:52.720
spirit mate one day, there are times when in the past we've gone through situations and dynamics

120
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:58.480
that if we have not gotten over, maybe we've forgiven ourselves for those situations, maybe

121
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:04.000
we've received the forgiveness that God gave us, but we haven't gotten rid of the shame and the

122
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.880
guilt and the condemnation. What can happen is you go into the next situation, dynamic relationship,

123
00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:17.520
and you carry those things with you. And so even if maybe some of you haven't had a prior marriage

124
00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:23.440
or situation, and maybe you haven't been intimate with someone, but there might be other things that

125
00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:29.840
you've battled. Maybe lustful thoughts or imaginations or anything like that can also apply

126
00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:35.840
to what I'm talking about. Now this is just one example of darkness that can invade our lives,

127
00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:42.000
and they can hinder us from fellowship with God, as well as fellowship and closeness and intimacy

128
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:47.680
with other people. And so I want to lean into this a little bit tonight. First and foremost,

129
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:54.160
fellowshiping with God. Because you all, the spirit mate's the cherry on top. Yes, God led you here

130
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.880
because we believe that He has a love story for you. Some of you, that's not what you came here

131
00:08:00.880 --> 00:08:06.720
for. You just came for heartwork, and that's awesome too. But the point is that God wants to

132
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:12.720
give you so much more than your spirit mate that you came in for, for those of you that that's what

133
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:20.000
what led you here. And in the process of that, God wants to help you understand how to return to your

134
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.160
first love. And for those of you that maybe didn't fall in love with Jesus or fall in love with the

135
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.760
presence of the Father, or understand what is the whole whole role of the Holy Spirit in my life,

136
00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:36.559
if you don't have those understandings, I believe God wants to give those to you on this journey.

137
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:41.039
And that you would walk away not only after these five weeks, however long it takes you in the

138
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:47.120
heart work, or hopefully if you continue in phase two, that you will continue to grow closer and

139
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:54.400
closer and closer to the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit through this process. The very purpose

140
00:08:54.400 --> 00:09:02.000
of light is to set us free from anything that would hinder us from deep intimacy with the Father.

141
00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:07.120
The very purpose of light is to set you free

142
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200
from anything that would hinder you from deep intimacy with the Father.

143
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:20.160
One of the things that God wanted me to mention to you all today, literally I've never had this

144
00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:25.280
content in a supernatural surrender. This was something God specifically asked me to do for

145
00:09:25.280 --> 00:09:30.000
all of you that are in phase one right now. And it's not because I think in this next statement,

146
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.160
because I'm about to say something, it's not because I think you're all so full of pride,

147
00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:39.680
but this is what the Holy Spirit told me to say. So there are some people in here that I think the

148
00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:46.960
Lord is going to kind of knock on the door of your heart in some areas that maybe there's

149
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.160
some things that have hindered you from even hearing His voice speaking to you at times.

150
00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:57.760
But I want to encourage all of us, myself included, you all, I have to let go of pride too,

151
00:09:57.760 --> 00:09:59.920
daily, even before I go live and do these

152
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.600
coaching sessions, I often pray and just remind myself that I can't do this in my own strength.

153
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:10.720
It's not about me. It's about the presence of the Holy Spirit, hopefully working through

154
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:15.440
me in every situation. So I want to encourage you all in your process of heart healing

155
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:23.840
to let go of any and all pride. And the Father can show you how pride shows up in your life.

156
00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:29.840
It can show up in different ways. But in order for us to step into the light,

157
00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:37.760
the light requires humility. It's actually rooted in humility. Jesus Christ, who is the light of

158
00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:42.160
the world, was one of the most humble people we will ever see. So if you don't know how to be

159
00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:48.400
humble, just look at Jesus. Let's go and this week, maybe even look at some of the ways he

160
00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:55.840
was. He was not afraid to minister to children. He went to the woman at the well. He went to the

161
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.800
woman who touched the hem of his garment and all these, like there was all of the people with

162
00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:11.200
leprosy. There was no part in him that would say, I can't touch you. I can't come close to you or

163
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:17.360
I'm, you know, have all these things. And no, he took his time with people and he invested in

164
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:22.960
people and y'all in order to do that, guess what? He had to be one without walls, right?

165
00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:34.800
Think about it. Jesus had to live without walls in order to literally allow the spirit and

166
00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:38.880
everything that was in him to flow through him in every situation. I don't know about you all,

167
00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:42.720
but if you've ever tried to pray for someone and you're bitter and offended at people,

168
00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:49.360
it feels different. Has anybody ever experienced that? It feels, it just feels different when,

169
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:54.640
when we're carrying anger or frustration or resentment or unforgiveness around in our spirit.

170
00:11:54.640 --> 00:11:59.120
Yeah, we can still pray and we can still have effect. But I know from my experience,

171
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:03.680
that when I pray for people or minister to people and I've got a clear conscience and,

172
00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:09.280
and I've prayed and I've really surrendered those things. I believe this is just me.

173
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:14.400
Y'all can experience something different, but I feel like it's different. Things flow better.

174
00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:19.840
Things feel better. It's like there's a river flowing and there's nothing in there stopping

175
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:25.280
it up like a dam. And I believe that's the kind of intimate relationship that God wants for each

176
00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:30.560
one of you with him, where that's that flow of that relationship in the river, in the love,

177
00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:36.080
and there's nothing in there blocking the water from flowing into you and through you to other

178
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:45.200
people. Darkness is a moral state where you hide things, have secrets, and give the enemy ground

179
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:52.640
to traffic in your life. Again, this isn't always intentional, ladies. A lot of times it's

180
00:12:52.640 --> 00:13:00.800
subconscious. Darkness is a moral state where we hide things, we have secrets, and it's where the

181
00:13:00.800 --> 00:13:06.560
enemy can come in and kind of wreak havoc and work freely. And so in this process, we want to

182
00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:13.120
ask the Lord tonight, are there any areas where we are hiding parts of ourselves, where we're

183
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:19.920
hiding things, where we're keeping secrets, or where we're, you know, not being the full version

184
00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:24.320
of ourselves in situations. And we're going to talk about this a little bit more when we go into

185
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:29.200
the real you, but I wanted to lay a little bit of groundwork to get us started tonight.

186
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:38.400
Are there any areas where, and this is one way you can signal, okay, darkness versus light, you know,

187
00:13:38.400 --> 00:13:47.040
hatred versus love, fear versus faith. Guess what? Fear is rooted in the darkness, right? So it

188
00:13:47.040 --> 00:13:52.960
doesn't, again, it's not like you're bad, okay? I'm not saying you're bad, but the Bible does talk about

189
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:59.040
good versus evil. Are we choosing evil things? Are we choosing unhealthy thoughts? Are we choosing

190
00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:04.080
the healthy stuff and all of the things that are true and noble and lovely and of good report? Are

191
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:09.040
we walking in the fruits of the Spirit? Love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

192
00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:15.120
gentleness, and self-control. Is that what we convey to the world around us? And y'all,

193
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:21.120
most important, another key thing as I start to talk about this stuff is if you start to feel

194
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:26.560
shame even during our live sessions, I want you to know that's the enemy. And he's trying to cause

195
00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:31.680
you to feel that, to withdraw even from these groups and these things, because he doesn't want

196
00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:39.680
you to move forward. Because, hey, guess what? I've made a ton of mistakes, y'all. Just cats out of the

197
00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:45.040
bag. If you didn't already know it from prior sessions, I've made all kinds of mistakes. And

198
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:49.760
praise the Lord, I've learned over and over again that I don't have to have shame, guilt, or

199
00:14:49.760 --> 00:14:54.800
condemnation. I can walk in freedom, because Christ died to set me free from all of that,

200
00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:59.920
and he died to set you free from that, too. All right, so in Supernatural Surrender, the official

201
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.000
So like kind of things I want to talk to you about regarding that, I want you to think

202
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:14.820
about waving the white flag, like on the inside that you're saying, Father, I am waving the

203
00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:21.680
white flag and I'm saying to you, I can't do this without you.

204
00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:27.360
I surrender completely to you, to your will, to your ways.

205
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.240
I surrender to your understanding.

206
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.240
The Bible says that his ways are above our ways and his thoughts are above our thoughts.

207
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:39.200
So I think that maybe it's saying we should surrender to his ways.

208
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.300
We should surrender to his thoughts.

209
00:15:42.300 --> 00:15:49.280
And for some of you, you actually need inside of yourself to imagine yourself waving that

210
00:15:49.280 --> 00:15:54.200
white flag and saying, yes, Father, yes, Father, you can come in.

211
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:59.600
I'm surrendering to you and I'm allowing you to come and work in my life.

212
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.800
We want to let God add his super to our natural.

213
00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:05.720
Remember, we can't do anything without him.

214
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.140
And I'm going to read a scripture here in a minute that talks about that.

215
00:16:09.140 --> 00:16:14.720
But I want you to also be thinking about the word release.

216
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:22.360
The definition of a release means to allow something to move, act, or flow freely.

217
00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:31.320
You would release God to fully move, act, and flow freely in your life, in your heart,

218
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.280
in your mind, in your spirit, in your soul.

219
00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:36.280
John 15, 4-5 says this,

220
00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:38.320
Remain in me as I also remain in you.

221
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.120
No branch can bear fruit by itself.

222
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:42.400
It must remain in the vine.

223
00:16:42.400 --> 00:16:47.000
Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

224
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.000
I am the vine.

225
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.000
You are the branches.

226
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.800
If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.

227
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.360
Apart from me, you can do nothing.

228
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.040
So ladies, listen to this.

229
00:16:57.040 --> 00:17:00.000
We can bear much fruit.

230
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.200
That means lots of fruit.

231
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:05.599
People are going to come and eat the fruit from our trees.

232
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.760
And as we talked about last week, it says in Proverbs 18, 22, that a man who has found

233
00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:11.900
a wife has found a good thing.

234
00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:19.680
So we believe that as you walk in the healing process here and you move closer to the Lord,

235
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:25.200
you're going to bear much fruit, including the fruit of a healthy love story.

236
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:33.200
As you continue to learn how to navigate that with us in community in the days to come.

237
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.200
God is a gentleman.

238
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.880
He's not going to force his way in you all.

239
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:44.280
He's not going to come and plow the door down and, you know, take you kicking and screaming

240
00:17:44.280 --> 00:17:46.160
along the way with him.

241
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.760
That's not how God works.

242
00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:52.200
If you've experienced that type of behavior from anybody in authority over you, man or

243
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.240
woman, whoever they are, whoever they were, earlier today in our one o'clock session,

244
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:58.240
someone was sharing.

245
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:04.000
I think it was Alina was sharing that she had a mentor from a church come into her life

246
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:09.840
and just start kind of like basically telling her he was going to mentor her and she never

247
00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:10.840
asked him to.

248
00:18:10.840 --> 00:18:13.920
Well, y'all, that's not healthy.

249
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:14.920
And guess what?

250
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:20.600
We get to give permission and we can also say, no, thank you.

251
00:18:20.600 --> 00:18:21.600
Okay.

252
00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:26.640
It's okay to say no, if we don't feel good about something or someone's trying to take

253
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:33.640
authority and kind of put themselves in a place of authority over us without permission.

254
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:40.200
So God is a gentleman and he will wait for you to give him permission to enter.

255
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:41.200
What do I mean by that?

256
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.840
Well, let's just think about when we've received Jesus as our Lord and savior, you all.

257
00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:50.360
What happens there in that, in that exchange, what's happening?

258
00:18:50.360 --> 00:18:53.320
He's coming, he's pursued us in advance.

259
00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:58.680
The Bible talks about God leads us to repentance with his loving kindness.

260
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.720
So he's pursuing us.

261
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.840
And when he comes and he encounters us, we make a decision.

262
00:19:06.840 --> 00:19:14.040
We allow him to enter our hearts and we choose Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior.

263
00:19:14.040 --> 00:19:17.000
So he didn't plow his way right in, did he?

264
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:23.640
No, he waited for you to choose him because he gives everybody free will.

265
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:27.120
He will never force you to do anything.

266
00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:29.160
He will never force his way on you.

267
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.160
He will convict us because he loves us.

268
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:38.400
He will correct us as a good dad does when we're doing stuff that's not good for us.

269
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:43.600
But it's still up to us to choose, to choose every day, to partner with the truth, to choose

270
00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:48.280
every day, to read the word and get to know the Lord and to know his good ways and, and

271
00:19:48.280 --> 00:19:52.760
to start to believe the truth that we can experience the goodness of God in the land

272
00:19:52.760 --> 00:19:53.760
of the living.

273
00:19:53.760 --> 00:19:58.080
We don't have to wait till heaven to experience that, but it takes partnering with him and

274
00:19:58.080 --> 00:20:00.080
living a healthy life.

275
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:07.400
lifestyle to start to see those things and experience those things like never before.

276
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:12.120
I want you to imagine a sign that says, do not enter.

277
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:13.320
Anybody ever seen those?

278
00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:17.640
Do not enter, dead end, don't go here, those kind of things?

279
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:18.640
Yeah.

280
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:25.120
Some of us have those kind of signs up in our hearts.

281
00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:29.760
Whether you realize it or not, some of you have those signs up and God's trying to come

282
00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:35.560
in and help you, but you've got signs up that say all over the place, don't come in, do

283
00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:37.320
not enter, dead end.

284
00:20:37.320 --> 00:20:41.360
You're going to have to turn around and go back the other way.

285
00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:45.040
I'm kind of making fun here a little bit, but we do that, don't we?

286
00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:46.440
No thank you, Lord.

287
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:52.840
When he starts coming and knocking on the door of the deep wound, yes, I said it.

288
00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:57.920
The deep wound, the deep places, sometimes we even do that when it's just starts feeling

289
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:03.280
a little bit like uncomfortable, like, Ooh, no, wait, wait, I knew it was heart healing,

290
00:21:03.280 --> 00:21:06.560
but I don't want to go there.

291
00:21:06.560 --> 00:21:10.600
I'd rather just go on to the guy.

292
00:21:10.600 --> 00:21:20.280
Y'all, we got, we have to go there because if we don't, we will not show up as a whole

293
00:21:20.280 --> 00:21:23.280
version of ourselves in any relationship.

294
00:21:23.280 --> 00:21:25.200
And every day we are going to continue to heal.

295
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:31.240
So it's not like we have to be perfect to meet someone healthy, but here's the thing.

296
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:34.560
Don't you want to be the healthiest version of yourself when you at least leave phase

297
00:21:34.560 --> 00:21:41.280
one and, and let God come in and clean this stuff out because he loves you and he is going

298
00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:46.800
to bring this cloth and he's going to lovingly clean the areas of your heart and he's going

299
00:21:46.800 --> 00:21:52.400
to take all those places where you're crimson red and make you white as snow.

300
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.100
That's what the Bible says.

301
00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:58.600
He makes us all the way clean.

302
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:04.880
Some of you, things were done to you and your innocence was stolen.

303
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.160
It was taken by other people.

304
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.040
And I want you to know that you can get your innocence back.

305
00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:13.960
Can you have, you know, let's fit, let's just be honest.

306
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.440
The physical aspects may never return.

307
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:17.440
Okay.

308
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:23.080
But the reality is, is you can be made new in such a way that it will be like in your

309
00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:26.240
spirit, like that didn't happen.

310
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:27.240
Okay.

311
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:31.100
He can give you innocence back and all of the things.

312
00:22:31.100 --> 00:22:35.760
So if you're afraid to let God in, I want to encourage you tonight to give God full

313
00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:45.120
access to give him permission to go into all the places of your heart and creating

314
00:22:45.120 --> 00:22:49.520
you to be completely clean.

315
00:22:49.520 --> 00:22:55.080
That Psalm 51 says, create me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within

316
00:22:55.080 --> 00:22:56.560
me.

317
00:22:56.560 --> 00:23:00.000
So Lord, we ask you to create in us clean hearts tonight.

318
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.400
Revelation 3 20 says, behold, I stand at the door and knock.

319
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.960
If any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and sup with him and

320
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:10.560
he with me.

321
00:23:10.560 --> 00:23:15.960
So again, here's another example of Jesus standing at the door of our hearts and knocking

322
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.680
and not forcing his way in.

323
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:23.680
I'm going to read a little bit from the heart work book, just so we draw some attention

324
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.640
to a couple of things about supernatural surrenders.

325
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:31.560
We're talking about waving the white flag and letting God all the way in to our hearts.

326
00:23:31.560 --> 00:23:37.000
It says this, ever since we were toddlers, our mantra has been, I do it myself.

327
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.480
We have been programmed by our broken world to never depend on anyone or anything.

328
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.080
And people that do like it's saying people that do depend on other people are considered

329
00:23:48.080 --> 00:23:51.080
to be foolish and naive.

330
00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:54.720
All through our lives, we are taught overtly and covertly that it's a good thing to be

331
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.880
in and stay in control.

332
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.040
And that is a lot of hard work.

333
00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:05.080
One of the main reasons we don't want to depend on anyone else is we don't want to

334
00:24:05.080 --> 00:24:06.760
be disappointed.

335
00:24:06.760 --> 00:24:11.680
Being disappointed is painful, maybe even more painful than not trusting anyone to help

336
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:12.880
us in the first place.

337
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:22.200
So let's see how many of you really like to be in control and you'd rather just stay in

338
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.200
control.

339
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:24.200
Let's see it in the chat.

340
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:29.880
How many, if you'll admit it, because there are some of you, I know there are, and I love

341
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.720
all of you.

342
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:32.800
Even, even I used to be a control freak.

343
00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:35.080
I still have to work on that.

344
00:24:35.080 --> 00:24:37.080
Being in control.

345
00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:38.820
Yeah.

346
00:24:38.820 --> 00:24:45.480
So let's be thinking about what are the ways the enemy is still trying to get you to partner

347
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.480
with.

348
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.480
I'll just do it myself.

349
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.400
I'll just do it myself.

350
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.880
Cause God you're taking too long.

351
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.720
Or I'll just settle for this guy because you know what?

352
00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:00.320
I don't know God, if you really do have someone great for me.

353
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.040
I feel lonely.

354
00:25:01.040 --> 00:25:04.440
And so it's just easier to be with someone.

355
00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:10.000
Or maybe it's, you know, staying in control regarding your kids or

356
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.480
whatever the dynamic is, but let's surrender all the way tonight.

357
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.480
So many times we think we've asked God to help us, but then when the

358
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:21.080
answer doesn't show up immediately and in the way we want it to, we.

359
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:22.760
Thank God failed us.

360
00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:27.380
We think God is, is not doing what we've asked him to do when in reality, he's

361
00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:32.060
doing exactly what we asked him to do, but because it doesn't feel good, we

362
00:25:32.060 --> 00:25:37.700
declare God incompetent and off we go trying to fix it ourselves.

363
00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:39.940
Self-help isn't a thing.

364
00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:43.100
God never told us to go figure it out.

365
00:25:43.100 --> 00:25:45.380
He doesn't say to us, good luck, kid.

366
00:25:45.620 --> 00:25:46.780
I hope you make it.

367
00:25:49.020 --> 00:25:53.540
I want you to just really just pause for a minute and ask the Lord.

368
00:25:53.580 --> 00:25:55.020
Just let's, let's just do this.

369
00:25:55.020 --> 00:25:56.260
It's just popped up in my head.

370
00:25:56.500 --> 00:25:57.820
Let's just all close our eyes.

371
00:25:57.820 --> 00:26:00.260
And I just want you to God right now.

372
00:26:00.260 --> 00:26:03.540
I just pray that you would give the ladies a picture of what it looks

373
00:26:03.540 --> 00:26:07.220
like, uh, to have you as their good dad.

374
00:26:08.860 --> 00:26:15.020
Um, show them a road that they're on, show them flowers and life around them.

375
00:26:15.860 --> 00:26:20.460
But God, most importantly, show that, show them how you're holding their hand.

376
00:26:21.260 --> 00:26:25.060
I pray that you would just give them a divine revelation tonight of you as a

377
00:26:25.060 --> 00:26:27.860
good dad and that they can trust you.

378
00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:33.100
And, uh, as you show them the road, if there's anything that feels fearful to

379
00:26:33.100 --> 00:26:38.140
them, maybe they're standing on the side of the road and, and they see you, but

380
00:26:38.140 --> 00:26:41.620
they're just not sure yet if they want to come and take your hand, Lord, I pray

381
00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:43.300
that you would just remove all fear.

382
00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:47.620
Because we know that fear is false evidence appearing real and you would

383
00:26:47.620 --> 00:26:52.900
help them to come towards you, God, and that you would meet them right where

384
00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:56.660
they're at and minister to every knee that they have so that they can take you

385
00:26:56.660 --> 00:27:01.140
by the hand and fully surrender to you in Jesus name.

386
00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:01.940
Amen.

387
00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:04.820
Um, yeah, God is so good.

388
00:27:04.820 --> 00:27:09.220
You all, God doesn't ever tell us to go figure it out.

389
00:27:09.260 --> 00:27:09.940
Good luck.

390
00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:12.180
He wants to help us every step of the way.

391
00:27:12.180 --> 00:27:16.740
He wants you to know tonight that he's already gone before you and he's

392
00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:20.140
already gone before you into every situation.

393
00:27:20.540 --> 00:27:26.060
And the word says that he has made a way for us to stand as we move forward.

394
00:27:26.820 --> 00:27:32.220
John 14, 25 through 27 says this, all this I've spoken while still with you,

395
00:27:32.420 --> 00:27:35.660
but the advocate, the Holy spirit, whom the father will send in my name will

396
00:27:35.660 --> 00:27:40.780
teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

397
00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:41.940
Peace.

398
00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:43.380
I leave with you.

399
00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:44.900
My peace.

400
00:27:44.900 --> 00:27:45.620
I give to you.

401
00:27:45.620 --> 00:27:50.180
As the world gives, do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

402
00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:55.780
So the reality of what, why I'm pointing out this scripture is the

403
00:27:55.780 --> 00:28:01.220
Holy spirit is that advocate that the father sent, but he's also given us

404
00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:06.340
this incredible, incredible, supernatural peace, God himself is peace.

405
00:28:06.780 --> 00:28:11.980
So there's never a situation that we can't find his peace in the midst of it.

406
00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:13.740
He's left his peace with us.

407
00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:15.660
He's given it to us.

408
00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:19.860
Oftentimes the enemy, he'll come and try to steal our peace.

409
00:28:19.860 --> 00:28:21.460
He'll try to steal our joy.

410
00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:25.660
He wants us to walk around, discouraged, defeated, disappointed, you know,

411
00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:28.380
down and depressed and all this stuff.

412
00:28:28.780 --> 00:28:31.380
And the Lord is always like, I've got you.

413
00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:32.740
Like I gave you peace.

414
00:28:33.140 --> 00:28:34.260
Here's my joy.

415
00:28:34.300 --> 00:28:38.140
Come and sit with me, come and receive fresh info every single

416
00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:39.980
day we can get filled afresh.

417
00:28:40.420 --> 00:28:42.580
And we are going to face challenges in our flesh.

418
00:28:42.580 --> 00:28:46.420
And we're not going to always feel like celebrating, but there's also the

419
00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:48.980
talks about a sacrifice of praise.

420
00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:53.300
Now, sometimes you're not going to feel like worshiping, but

421
00:28:53.300 --> 00:28:54.860
just choosing to worship.

422
00:28:55.460 --> 00:29:01.180
It helps you take ground in and land for your life to take authority over things.

423
00:29:01.180 --> 00:29:04.780
And so I want to encourage you on days, even when you don't feel like it, just

424
00:29:04.780 --> 00:29:09.580
to worship, because it's not always about what we feel, it's about the faith

425
00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:11.940
that we have and what God's doing.

426
00:29:12.300 --> 00:29:15.620
As you're going through this process, um, in the supernatural surrender, I

427
00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:17.980
want to remind you that we don't want you to dig.

428
00:29:18.380 --> 00:29:19.500
We don't want you to dig.

429
00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:22.260
We don't want you to try to figure things out on your own.

430
00:29:22.260 --> 00:29:25.900
We don't want you, you know, calling all your family members, asking them

431
00:29:25.900 --> 00:29:27.900
about, you know, family line stuff.

432
00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:32.820
Y'all if you, if that stuff comes up organically, cool, but like what can

433
00:29:32.820 --> 00:29:37.820
happen if you go starting to dig that stuff up is you can retraumatize yourself.

434
00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:39.940
It can be kind of bad.

435
00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:45.100
So I want to encourage you in this process, we teach revealing for healing

436
00:29:45.100 --> 00:29:50.020
Lord, would you reveal anything that's in darkness and bring it to the light

437
00:29:50.020 --> 00:29:53.820
so that I can be healed so that I can become whole, that you would make me

438
00:29:53.820 --> 00:29:55.620
completely whole lacking, no good thing.

439
00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:59.900
You know, it's, it's surrendering and relying on him in this process to

440
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.720
Reveal the things that you're ready for.

441
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:04.440
Because y'all, right now,

442
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:05.800
there's things that you're ready for.

443
00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:08.400
You're ready to receive certain things.

444
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:10.420
But God's not gonna reveal stuff to you

445
00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:12.600
that he knows you're not ready for

446
00:30:12.600 --> 00:30:16.540
because he's a good dad and he loves you.

447
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.240
So when you're ready for any other stuff,

448
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.840
he'll reveal that to you at whatever point.

449
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.640
So we trust what the Lord brings up in this process.

450
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:27.600
We lean into the Holy Spirit.

451
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.920
And I like to say, pull the thread.

452
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:32.560
What does that mean?

453
00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:34.440
Maybe you have a memory pop up

454
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:36.560
that you haven't thought of in a long time.

455
00:30:36.560 --> 00:30:39.280
Maybe as you're praying or reading the word,

456
00:30:39.280 --> 00:30:40.960
you start to cry and all of a sudden

457
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:42.680
you have these feelings and emotions

458
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:44.280
that are coming out of nowhere,

459
00:30:44.280 --> 00:30:47.560
or a situation happens and you get triggered and emotions.

460
00:30:47.560 --> 00:30:49.880
Whatever these different dynamics are,

461
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:51.640
that you would take note of those,

462
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.480
that you would journal about them,

463
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.160
and then keep asking God really good questions.

464
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.560
You know, I had this memory pop up.

465
00:30:58.560 --> 00:31:00.500
I really don't know what this is about.

466
00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:01.600
Can you reveal to me?

467
00:31:01.600 --> 00:31:04.880
Like, what are you trying to show me through this?

468
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:06.320
Because you're in the heart work,

469
00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:08.120
you all, I want you to understand

470
00:31:08.120 --> 00:31:12.000
that pretty much any memory that pops up during this time

471
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.400
is the Lord revealing something to you

472
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:15.560
that he wants you to look at,

473
00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:18.620
unless you're being assaulted by the enemy.

474
00:31:18.620 --> 00:31:22.580
And that's gonna feel very oppressive and like an attack.

475
00:31:22.580 --> 00:31:25.640
It's not gonna feel like that with the Lord, okay?

476
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:27.200
Now, some of you, again,

477
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.040
when it's certain situations in your life,

478
00:31:30.040 --> 00:31:33.060
as soon as you start unpacking those with the Lord,

479
00:31:33.060 --> 00:31:34.600
you might feel some of that

480
00:31:34.600 --> 00:31:38.120
because you're not really wanting to process that stuff.

481
00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:40.400
That's different than feeling very attacked

482
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:43.480
by the enemy as well, all right?

483
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.920
Okay, so I'm gonna get you ready

484
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.200
for your first breakout session.

485
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:50.120
And this is what the question is tonight.

486
00:31:50.120 --> 00:31:52.240
What are some things that God is nudging you

487
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.760
to surrender to him tonight?

488
00:31:54.760 --> 00:31:56.900
What is the difference between taking authority

489
00:31:56.900 --> 00:31:58.400
and taking control?

490
00:31:58.400 --> 00:31:59.340
Good question.

491
00:31:59.340 --> 00:32:01.480
I will answer that here in just one minute.

492
00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:03.760
Here's that question again.

493
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:05.840
What are some things that God is nudging you

494
00:32:05.840 --> 00:32:07.900
to surrender to him tonight?

495
00:32:09.040 --> 00:32:11.240
All right, so the difference, let me think.

496
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.840
How do I wanna describe the difference

497
00:32:12.840 --> 00:32:17.200
between taking authority and taking control?

498
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.120
Well, I think the first thing that comes to mind

499
00:32:20.120 --> 00:32:22.900
is when I say taking authority,

500
00:32:23.740 --> 00:32:27.420
God has told us to go and make disciples.

501
00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:30.180
He's told us to go into all the earth

502
00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:32.700
and spread the gospel.

503
00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:35.860
And he tells us that we can do that with authority.

504
00:32:35.860 --> 00:32:40.860
So I can stand on the word and I can take authority

505
00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:42.500
and go preach the gospel.

506
00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:45.300
I can tell the truth and the good news to people

507
00:32:45.300 --> 00:32:47.140
because that authority has already been given to me

508
00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:48.420
in Jesus Christ.

509
00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:51.660
It's not my own authority, it's his authority.

510
00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:52.980
Do you see the difference?

511
00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:56.520
When we try to take control, that's us doing it.

512
00:32:58.060 --> 00:33:00.460
Us being the one that in our minds,

513
00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:03.140
we think we have authority and strength and control

514
00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:06.660
and we can determine an outcome versus,

515
00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:10.540
hey, Lord, I know that you've given me this ground

516
00:33:10.540 --> 00:33:13.740
in this land because your word tells me you have.

517
00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:18.260
For example, when God led them to go to the walls of Jericho

518
00:33:18.260 --> 00:33:20.380
and walk around them,

519
00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:23.060
that was something he declared to them in advance

520
00:33:23.060 --> 00:33:25.820
that they had authority to go do.

521
00:33:25.820 --> 00:33:27.340
Does that make sense?

522
00:33:27.340 --> 00:33:28.740
Does that help you all?

523
00:33:30.760 --> 00:33:32.180
I can define it a little bit more.

524
00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:34.940
I'll think about it while you all are in your breakout too.

525
00:33:34.940 --> 00:33:36.540
If you all need me to explain it anymore,

526
00:33:36.540 --> 00:33:38.140
some other examples I can give you.

527
00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:41.860
But I really think the biggest thing is that authority,

528
00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:44.380
when we step into that, it's already, okay,

529
00:33:44.380 --> 00:33:46.620
it's already given to us by the Lord

530
00:33:46.620 --> 00:33:49.300
and we can step in and stand in that authority.

531
00:33:49.300 --> 00:33:52.180
So maybe we take authority, but it's already there.

532
00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:53.500
We're standing in it.

533
00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:55.140
Maybe that even helps a little more.

534
00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:57.100
All right, so I'm looking forward to hearing

535
00:33:57.100 --> 00:33:59.700
how the breakout sessions go.

536
00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:01.460
Let me get them ready here for you.

537
00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:06.580
I'm gonna do two to three people in a room.

538
00:34:06.580 --> 00:34:08.420
It just makes it a little easier

539
00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:10.580
because if somebody can't join.

540
00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:15.380
And I'm gonna give you all two, four, six.

541
00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:16.860
I'll give you seven minutes.

542
00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:19.100
So keep it short, brief and powerful.

543
00:34:19.100 --> 00:34:20.980
Remember your question is this,

544
00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:23.060
what are some things that God is nudging you

545
00:34:23.060 --> 00:34:24.580
to surrender to him tonight?

546
00:34:24.580 --> 00:34:26.500
Go ahead and join those rooms, ladies.

547
00:34:43.620 --> 00:34:45.300
Marley, you can go ahead into there

548
00:34:46.219 --> 00:34:47.060
and just type in the chat.

549
00:34:47.060 --> 00:34:48.380
Just let them know when you go into the breakout room

550
00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:51.980
that you can't talk or use the video.

551
00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:53.020
That will still work.

552
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.000
Oh, shoot. There she goes into there now.

553
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.000
Sorry, hold on one second.

554
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:11.240
I'm going to start to pray as soon as I get these ladies situated.

555
00:35:11.240 --> 00:35:14.160
I have to move a couple of people around here.

556
00:35:14.160 --> 00:35:18.200
Ruth, are you wanting to go into breakouts?

557
00:35:18.200 --> 00:35:20.480
I know that you weren't able to earlier today.

558
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:23.320
I just want to check before I move this lady.

559
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:26.640
You can put it in the chat there for me.

560
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:38.000
Okay. Father, we just thank you right now.

561
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:40.000
Room 14.

562
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:49.000
I think they'll be okay.

563
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.000
Did you get kicked out of your...

564
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:57.000
Oh, there somebody goes.

565
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.000
Okay. Father, thank you so much for this night.

566
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:03.000
We thank you, Lord, for everything that you're already doing in this session.

567
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:06.000
God, we just ask you to give the ladies revelation and insight,

568
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.000
even as they're sharing in these breakout sessions

569
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.000
and those that are watching the replay.

570
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.000
We ask you just to help them to hear what your spirit is saying to them

571
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:16.000
regarding what they should surrender tonight

572
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:19.000
and completely wave the white flag to you

573
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.000
and allow you to come into those areas

574
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.000
and work in every area of their heart and their lives.

575
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.000
Hi, Jodi. Welcome.

576
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:28.000
I'm not sure if you were already on,

577
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.000
but we are doing a breakout session right now

578
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:35.000
on what are some things God is nudging you to surrender to him today.

579
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.000
So I can put you in a breakout.

580
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:40.000
Okay. I was in a breakout room,

581
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:44.000
but I was on my phone and I couldn't get my video or audio to work.

582
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.000
Oh, that's okay. Do you happen to know what room you were in?

583
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:50.000
14, maybe.

584
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.000
Okay.

585
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.000
There you go.

586
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:57.000
Tracy, I'm going to put you in a breakout.

587
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:01.000
We're talking about what are some things God is nudging you to surrender.

588
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:05.000
So you can go and click to join that.

589
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:08.000
If you're able to go. Yeah, there we go.

590
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.000
So father, we just thank you.

591
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:12.000
That is a reminder tonight.

592
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.000
Just the, even as I was sharing the example,

593
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.000
the importance of forgiving ourselves, forgiving other people

594
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.000
and getting rid of all bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness,

595
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.000
any kind of anger, wrath, malice,

596
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:30.000
any kind of underlying issues so that the river of living water can flow

597
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.000
into us and through us freely.

598
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:36.000
We thank you, Lord, that you would anoint our hearts, our minds,

599
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.000
her bodies, our spirits, and our souls.

600
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.000
Not only anoint them, but place.

601
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:48.000
I just heard you say just a healing sab upon us and that bomb of Gilead.

602
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:53.000
And we believe Lord that you can heal every aspect that's needed in us.

603
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:56.000
God, we thank you that you are the great physician,

604
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.000
that nothing is too hard for you.

605
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.000
That you're working in ways in our hearts, our minds, our bodies,

606
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:05.000
spirits, and souls that beyond what we can even imagine right now.

607
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.000
We thank you.

608
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:10.000
That Romans eight 28 says this.

609
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.000
So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven

610
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:19.000
together to fit into God's perfect plan of bringing good into our lives.

611
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:24.000
For we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.

612
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.000
I love that.

613
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:29.000
Woven together to fit into God's perfect plan of bringing good into our

614
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:33.000
lives. God, I thank you.

615
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:37.000
Right now, just for the reminder that you bring good into our lives.

616
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:43.000
We thank you that you would help us to receive that understanding,

617
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:45.000
that revelation a little bit more tonight.

618
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:51.000
God that any barrier that any pain from the past that has been an obstacle

619
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:56.000
that has kept us from understanding who you are as a good father,

620
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.000
who gives us good things that even like Elijah, you,

621
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:03.000
you chased him down with the goodness of God.

622
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:05.000
And I believe God that you will do that in our lives as well.

623
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:11.000
So help us to understand that we are your beloved daughters in whom you are

624
00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:14.000
well-pleased and that you enjoy talking to us.

625
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.000
You enjoy spending time with us and that we are,

626
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:20.000
as we're going to talk about a little bit more later, princesses,

627
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.000
we're Queens God.

628
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:26.000
And we thank you that as princesses daughters of the King.

629
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:30.000
That we are royalty and that you have a Royal inheritance for us,

630
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:33.000
that you have prepared a place for us.

631
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:37.000
In the presence of our enemies, as well as in your presence, God,

632
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.000
And that you enjoy lavishing your love upon us.

633
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:48.000
We thank you Lord that you would just remove any limiting belief system.

634
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:56.000
Systems meant orphan mentalities, any mindsets that are closed off.

635
00:39:56.000 --> 00:40:00.000
Any, any areas where we Lord are.

636
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.600
hearing your truth as freely as we used to in the past is what I'm hearing. So I

637
00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:09.360
don't know if somebody that's going to watch the replay or someone on here live

638
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:13.920
tonight used to feel like they heard from God a lot and now it feels like

639
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:17.520
there's just this thing stopping it. I want to just encourage you that that's

640
00:40:17.520 --> 00:40:22.320
just the enemy trying to lie to you and convince you that God isn't close to you

641
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.640
anymore, but He's always been close to you. The Word declares that He will never

642
00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:30.500
leave you nor forsake you and no matter what we do, no matter where we go, God is

643
00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:38.360
always with us and as soon as we repent and confess things and turn towards Him

644
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:44.300
that can be that connection just reconnects. It's there. Basically like the

645
00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:48.600
power starts to flow again and so we just thank you Lord for healing us, for

646
00:40:48.600 --> 00:40:53.680
redeeming us, for rewriting our stories that you're taking all of the brokenness

647
00:40:53.840 --> 00:41:00.760
and you're making every crooked place straight and yeah Lord I just thank you

648
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:06.440
that Psalm 51 is verse 10 when I was saying that earlier if anyone needs that

649
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:10.040
that create me a clean heart O God and renew a steadfast spirit in me. I look

650
00:41:10.040 --> 00:41:13.520
down and it's right in my book there.

651
00:41:15.120 --> 00:41:20.080
So as the ladies continue to finish up in their groups and start to return Lord

652
00:41:20.080 --> 00:41:25.560
we thank you that you would help us to return to our first love that you would

653
00:41:25.560 --> 00:41:30.160
help us to some of us fall in love with Jesus for the first time with you Father

654
00:41:30.160 --> 00:41:33.920
and the presence of the Holy Spirit and not just being in the presence of the

655
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:40.600
Holy Spirit but having a revelation given to us of your love God that you

656
00:41:40.600 --> 00:41:44.840
would continue to take all of the ashes and turn them into beauty that you would

657
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.920
take our mourning and turn it into dancing that you would transform us from

658
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:54.880
the inside out we thank you Lord for continuing to renew our minds day by day

659
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:59.160
by day that you're taking all the old stuff and you're as we continue to

660
00:41:59.160 --> 00:42:03.520
surrender to you you're removing all the old stuff and you're replacing it with

661
00:42:03.520 --> 00:42:08.560
brand new things that you are creating rivers in the desert places all of the

662
00:42:08.560 --> 00:42:14.600
dry dead places God that even as Ezekiel was was sent to speak to the dry bones

663
00:42:14.600 --> 00:42:19.480
God we thank you that you'll breathe life into the areas that have felt dead

664
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:24.240
and that though the bones will begin begin to rattle and come together and

665
00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:29.360
the sinews and all the all the flesh will begin to come back upon those

666
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:34.840
places God and that those things will live again the things that are supposed

667
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:38.960
to Lord let's preface that will live again and we just thank you in advance

668
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:43.880
for that ladies welcome back hi what we're gonna do tonight is a little bit

669
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:47.880
different on this part of the session I'm not gonna jump in and coach unless I

670
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:52.640
really feel like it we did this this afternoon it was really powerful so what

671
00:42:52.640 --> 00:42:57.400
I want to do is I want to do what I'm gonna call a popcorn share I just want

672
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.520
you know whoever feels lead and we'll get through as many people as we can

673
00:43:00.520 --> 00:43:05.440
because I have to reserve time for our second half but what I want you to do is

674
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:10.080
just one after another now take turns the easiest way honestly is just to

675
00:43:10.080 --> 00:43:13.800
raise your digital hand if you if you don't know how to do it if you tap on

676
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:18.320
the bottom of your screen it will either say raise hand right there or some of

677
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:23.480
you might see reaction and then have to push it or more and then you can push it

678
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.120
but basically when you raise your digital hand that I can just call on

679
00:43:27.120 --> 00:43:31.480
people and then we can go that way that way people don't get upset or feel like

680
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:37.560
they're being cut off or talked over so what I want you to share is what it what

681
00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:42.920
are the things that God was nudging you to surrender tonight so whoever would

682
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.760
like to go first and then we can kind of start from there

683
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:51.680
please Lisa go ahead Bethany so that dream where you mentioned that there

684
00:43:51.680 --> 00:43:55.520
might be a fear of something I just realized today when I was talking to my

685
00:43:55.520 --> 00:43:59.640
friends I just said that I have a way of doing things in past one and a half

686
00:43:59.640 --> 00:44:04.080
years that I've lived by myself and that is the only time I live by myself so

687
00:44:04.080 --> 00:44:08.960
it's not a fear per se I would put it in the way but I would put it in a way

688
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:12.520
that I have a little bit of nervousness going into a relationship that I've

689
00:44:12.520 --> 00:44:17.480
never been into before with any men so I just don't know how that is gonna look

690
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:21.720
like or how different would it be I'm gonna have to change my eating habits

691
00:44:21.720 --> 00:44:26.920
I'm gonna have to change all the things that I usually do which as I said like

692
00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:30.640
it's not a fear but it's just gonna look different which is a nervousness but

693
00:44:30.640 --> 00:44:36.760
although I don't know what comes out of it okay so I will say though some of the

694
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:40.600
things that you're saying are anxious thoughts and anxiousness is connected to

695
00:44:40.600 --> 00:44:46.160
fear so it can be the nervousness too but what if what if what if what if I

696
00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:49.040
have to change this what if I have to change that what if I can't do my

697
00:44:49.040 --> 00:44:54.040
workout schedule whatever the things are ladies here's the reality yes your life

698
00:44:54.040 --> 00:44:59.720
will change but there's a lot of things that I still do that I did before I was

699
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.800
It's called Healthy Boundaries.

700
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:04.560
All right, I'm not gonna coach, I promise.

701
00:45:04.560 --> 00:45:05.960
I'm gonna wait.

702
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.160
All right, thank you.

703
00:45:07.160 --> 00:45:08.720
You're welcome, good job.

704
00:45:08.720 --> 00:45:10.640
Diana, go ahead.

705
00:45:15.240 --> 00:45:16.400
Oh, you're muted if you're talking.

706
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:18.960
Yeah, I was trying to get it to stop.

707
00:45:20.160 --> 00:45:25.160
Okay, so mine is I need to trust God more with my finances,

708
00:45:26.160 --> 00:45:28.920
to know that he is my provider

709
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:32.000
and that he's gonna come through for me.

710
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:34.640
Yeah, that was huge.

711
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:37.000
Awesome, so good.

712
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:38.080
Thank you for sharing.

713
00:45:38.080 --> 00:45:39.280
Laura, go ahead.

714
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:46.520
So for me, I created my own dog walking

715
00:45:46.520 --> 00:45:48.160
and pet sitting business in 2020,

716
00:45:48.160 --> 00:45:50.120
like shortly after my divorce.

717
00:45:50.120 --> 00:45:54.920
And I am still like struggling to like grow the business.

718
00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:58.440
I mean, it's had phases where it's been better than others.

719
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:01.160
But I just was reminded,

720
00:46:01.160 --> 00:46:04.360
I did another business before that or before this.

721
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:08.160
And my mentor coach, she's a Christian also.

722
00:46:08.160 --> 00:46:09.440
And she would like tell us

723
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:12.760
like how she was like always praying over her business.

724
00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:14.680
So I just need to remind myself

725
00:46:14.680 --> 00:46:17.000
to do that like more on a regular basis.

726
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:18.520
Cause I know that he's there for me

727
00:46:18.520 --> 00:46:21.560
and like he's giving me like this passion

728
00:46:21.560 --> 00:46:23.120
and love for animals or whatever.

729
00:46:23.120 --> 00:46:26.680
And just to rely on him instead of like just,

730
00:46:26.680 --> 00:46:28.200
I mean, I do work with coaches,

731
00:46:28.200 --> 00:46:31.560
but sometimes like they'll like coach me in a way

732
00:46:31.560 --> 00:46:34.320
that like, isn't really something that I really wanna do

733
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.600
or so, but to rely on him

734
00:46:37.600 --> 00:46:38.840
that like he's always there for me

735
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:42.720
and he'll give me guidance and like lead me along the way.

736
00:46:42.720 --> 00:46:43.560
That's really good.

737
00:46:43.560 --> 00:46:45.400
And I will say, I think some of the shifts

738
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:47.000
that you've made in the last few weeks

739
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.320
are gonna also impact other areas of your life,

740
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:51.400
including your business.

741
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:53.280
I think things are gonna open up for you soon.

742
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:54.840
I really do.

743
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:55.680
Thanks for sharing.

744
00:46:55.680 --> 00:46:57.120
That's awesome.

745
00:46:57.120 --> 00:46:57.960
Thank you.

746
00:46:57.960 --> 00:46:58.800
You're welcome.

747
00:46:58.800 --> 00:46:59.640
Michelle, go ahead.

748
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:02.640
Hi, good evening.

749
00:47:02.640 --> 00:47:03.480
Thank you.

750
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:05.280
Hi, you're welcome.

751
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:09.960
My, the nudging is, you said it before,

752
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:12.400
trying to fix things.

753
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:13.720
I always try to fix things

754
00:47:13.720 --> 00:47:18.200
because of my abandonment issues

755
00:47:18.200 --> 00:47:19.560
and no one can do it

756
00:47:19.560 --> 00:47:21.040
and no one is gonna be there for me

757
00:47:21.720 --> 00:47:22.560
to get it done.

758
00:47:22.560 --> 00:47:24.120
And so even just tonight,

759
00:47:24.120 --> 00:47:27.640
God reminded me to start trusting me.

760
00:47:27.640 --> 00:47:29.640
I'm not like man.

761
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:35.920
So I'm really working on just let it go, to surrender.

762
00:47:37.240 --> 00:47:38.800
So that's the place.

763
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:40.800
Stop trying to fix it.

764
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:42.440
Cause I can't.

765
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:44.480
Well, and I think the other side of that,

766
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:47.000
just the one thing I am gonna mention here

767
00:47:47.080 --> 00:47:51.400
is coming out of agreement with no one will do it.

768
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:53.920
No one will come through for me,

769
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.840
and really coming into alignment agreement with God.

770
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:00.520
God, you always came through for me

771
00:48:00.520 --> 00:48:02.400
and start asking him to reveal to you

772
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:05.520
the ways he's come through for you all along.

773
00:48:05.520 --> 00:48:07.360
That's something that God led me to pray.

774
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.360
And it really made a huge difference

775
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.680
in my perspective of him.

776
00:48:11.680 --> 00:48:16.160
Because when I was in the place of victim,

777
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:20.080
I didn't see how he had come through for me.

778
00:48:20.080 --> 00:48:24.000
But when I was healing and started shifting into victor

779
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:25.960
and living and thriving,

780
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.280
I started seeing so many ways God had come through for me.

781
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:32.120
And even times where I would just feel like,

782
00:48:32.120 --> 00:48:33.920
oh my gosh, I think he protected me

783
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:35.560
when I was driving on the freeway

784
00:48:35.560 --> 00:48:37.280
or just little things like that.

785
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:38.960
But sometimes there's things that he's doing

786
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:40.440
that we don't even know.

787
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:43.000
But as I prayed that he started showing me stuff,

788
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:44.280
I guess is why I'm saying that.

789
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:47.400
So I would encourage you all to pray those kinds of things

790
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:49.240
and ask him to show you,

791
00:48:49.240 --> 00:48:52.240
like, Lord, how have you been there for me all along?

792
00:48:52.240 --> 00:48:56.440
Help me to see it and just see what he shows you.

793
00:48:56.440 --> 00:48:57.320
But great job.

794
00:48:57.320 --> 00:48:58.760
Thanks for sharing.

795
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:00.200
Ruth, you're welcome.

796
00:49:00.200 --> 00:49:01.200
Ruth, go ahead.

797
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:03.680
Hi, everyone.

798
00:49:03.680 --> 00:49:08.360
I think for me, I mentioned a fear of the future

799
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:10.600
or anxiety about my future,

800
00:49:10.600 --> 00:49:15.320
but wondering if it's really more a sense of control

801
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:16.880
and maybe even a lack of trust

802
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:20.080
that God wants me to surrender.

803
00:49:20.080 --> 00:49:22.400
I got a prophetic word a few times this year

804
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:26.960
about God wanting me to move or relocate.

805
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:28.720
But it's like, I'm in a situation

806
00:49:28.720 --> 00:49:31.520
where the city I live in and the job I have

807
00:49:31.520 --> 00:49:34.240
was because I prayed and God gave me an answer.

808
00:49:34.240 --> 00:49:36.880
So it's almost like someone gave me

809
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:38.560
to study the life of Abraham,

810
00:49:38.560 --> 00:49:40.280
but it's like God gave him Isaac

811
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:42.800
and then God asked for Isaac.

812
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:44.840
And so I'm kind of in that situation

813
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:47.960
where I think God wants me to surrender that,

814
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:49.120
oh, goodness, this is all I got.

815
00:49:49.120 --> 00:49:52.120
Like, I can't, I need to, like, preserve this.

816
00:49:52.120 --> 00:49:53.720
I need to hold on to this.

817
00:49:53.720 --> 00:49:55.280
Otherwise, if I lose it,

818
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:57.160
I don't know what's gonna happen.

819
00:49:57.160 --> 00:49:59.520
Yeah, and I do understand that.

820
00:49:59.520 --> 00:50:00.360
I don't know if y'all-

821
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.320
Remember a couple of weeks ago, I was giving that example of the little girl with the,

822
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:08.960
with she's got this little teddy bear and then Jesus is kneeling by her and he's got

823
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:11.520
a lot bigger teddy bear.

824
00:50:11.520 --> 00:50:12.520
And I think it's important.

825
00:50:12.520 --> 00:50:16.680
We actually touched on this in the afternoon session, ladies, sometimes it's not necessarily

826
00:50:16.680 --> 00:50:22.240
that God is going to ask you to give that thing up, but it's, it's him asking if you're

827
00:50:22.240 --> 00:50:29.520
willing, willing, you know, and sometimes he will lead us to give things up.

828
00:50:29.520 --> 00:50:36.440
But I also thought of when you were sharing Ruth years ago, uh, my young adult pastor,

829
00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:40.560
he was also our worship leader was sharing how he had this dream.

830
00:50:40.560 --> 00:50:43.440
And I mean, he played the guitar, he was amazing.

831
00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:49.600
And in the dream, uh, he, this is going to sound scary at first y'all, but this did not

832
00:50:49.600 --> 00:50:50.600
happen.

833
00:50:50.600 --> 00:50:55.920
This did not come to be or any of that, but it was something God was just trying to talk

834
00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:58.840
to him about for a purpose.

835
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:07.000
Um, but his hand, he lost his hand, got injured in the dream and he couldn't play anymore.

836
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:10.800
And he shared with us the process of what that led him to.

837
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:17.240
Like he cried, you know, processing that dream and just the reality of like a, that he didn't

838
00:51:17.240 --> 00:51:22.480
want to lose that gift, but also, and I'm not saying this is you or your situation,

839
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:24.320
but I'm just using it for anybody.

840
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:29.080
But also God was talking to him about how he had made that thing an idol.

841
00:51:29.080 --> 00:51:34.940
And sometimes ladies, God will ask us if we're willing to give something up, even the things

842
00:51:34.940 --> 00:51:40.200
that he, we prayed for and he gave us, not because he's trying to torture us.

843
00:51:40.200 --> 00:51:44.080
Or sometimes, like I said, he won't even take us to that place where we have to give it

844
00:51:44.080 --> 00:51:51.840
up, but he's wanting to know, does that thing have more of your heart than I do?

845
00:51:52.600 --> 00:51:55.960
And so I just want to put that out there again, Ruth, I'm not saying that necessarily applies

846
00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:01.200
to you and your situation, but it might for other people, if that doesn't resonate for

847
00:52:01.200 --> 00:52:02.200
you.

848
00:52:02.200 --> 00:52:07.520
Um, but thank you so much as you're continuing to pray, really want to encourage you, um,

849
00:52:07.520 --> 00:52:13.720
to ask God to give you faith for the future, to combat the fear of the future, Sharon would

850
00:52:13.720 --> 00:52:15.480
love to hear what you have to say.

851
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:16.480
Yeah.

852
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:24.080
I think for me, um, the prompting God is giving me is, um, to release fear of failure.

853
00:52:24.080 --> 00:52:29.840
And, um, in essence is also like a fear of, I mean, I guess, uh, being overly controlling

854
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:35.840
and, um, I sense that it's also causing a lot of delay in different aspects of my life.

855
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:44.520
So I just really want to, you know, give away fear of failure and also like perfectionism.

856
00:52:44.520 --> 00:52:48.680
Where, where do you see the fear of failure show up the most?

857
00:52:48.680 --> 00:52:57.280
Um, I, I think the most, I think mostly like with relationships and, um, feeling like I,

858
00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:02.080
you know, I'm not sure that I'm going to be successful, you know, in finding, um, who

859
00:53:02.080 --> 00:53:09.400
God has intended for me and, uh, having waited all this long, um, you know, I've been able

860
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:13.440
to, you know, get a lot of things done in other aspects of my life.

861
00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:17.560
And so I just feel in this specific area, I do feel like a failure.

862
00:53:17.560 --> 00:53:18.560
Um, yeah.

863
00:53:18.560 --> 00:53:24.040
I'm the eldest of six siblings and, you know, uh, you know, most of the others, uh, you

864
00:53:24.040 --> 00:53:29.640
know, they already, you know, married and settled and, um, you know, had the opportunity

865
00:53:29.640 --> 00:53:31.640
to lead in different things.

866
00:53:31.640 --> 00:53:37.560
But then this is one area that I feel like I have left myself down and others in our

867
00:53:37.560 --> 00:53:38.560
family.

868
00:53:38.560 --> 00:53:39.560
Okay.

869
00:53:39.560 --> 00:53:46.000
Well, why do you think that you've let your family down because they're younger than you

870
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:47.920
and they got married first?

871
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:54.520
Uh, because I kind of like, um, have been, I'm the eldest and, um, sort of have that

872
00:53:54.520 --> 00:53:57.480
responsibility on me in terms of showing the way.

873
00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:01.640
Um, so I, and I don't know, it may be just be my own internal processing, but that's

874
00:54:01.640 --> 00:54:06.360
just how I feel that I've been able to sort of help my siblings through other things.

875
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:10.560
But this is the one thing I know I'm not able to help walk them through.

876
00:54:10.560 --> 00:54:11.560
Okay.

877
00:54:11.560 --> 00:54:15.440
Um, so ladies, this is another one.

878
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:21.520
I'm just going to pause for a minute long enough to share one thing.

879
00:54:21.520 --> 00:54:26.360
Remember that God doesn't want us to take responsibility for things that we're not supposed

880
00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:30.160
to take responsibility for while we might be the oldest.

881
00:54:30.160 --> 00:54:34.000
And some of that does come when you're the oldest, I think naturally, you know, your

882
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:35.760
parents are asking you to do things.

883
00:54:36.160 --> 00:54:41.240
I know that my oldest brother was often asked to do things for us and my mom was a single

884
00:54:41.240 --> 00:54:42.240
mom.

885
00:54:42.240 --> 00:54:47.200
So that made it even trickier, but you all, we want to make sure that we're not living

886
00:54:47.200 --> 00:54:55.480
under, um, the word that comes to me as a shroud, a shroud of like responsibility and

887
00:54:55.480 --> 00:55:00.000
darkness in the sense that we are claiming or believing.

888
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.500
thing that we've let people down because we haven't led in everything. Like it was our

889
00:55:05.500 --> 00:55:10.500
duty to show them like, this is, this is getting married. This is what marriage looks like

890
00:55:10.500 --> 00:55:17.500
and all these things when, even if you're the oldest, like unless someone said that

891
00:55:17.500 --> 00:55:23.220
to you, which maybe someone did along the way is my guess, um, you know, or implied

892
00:55:23.220 --> 00:55:27.820
like, Hey, you know, you're this age and you're not married yet. You know, people say those

893
00:55:27.820 --> 00:55:33.660
things, um, especially family members that want babies and grandbabies and all the things,

894
00:55:33.660 --> 00:55:41.260
you know, there's all of these expectations. Right. But God doesn't want you carrying that,

895
00:55:41.260 --> 00:55:46.380
that weight on yourself anymore. I just, as you move forward, I want to encourage you

896
00:55:46.380 --> 00:55:52.580
to really give yourself permission to put that responsibility down because it was never

897
00:55:52.580 --> 00:56:00.620
intended for you. Okay. Super important. So thankful that you shared that praying for

898
00:56:00.620 --> 00:56:05.180
you. And, uh, I'm going to go ahead and have Anna share just cause I'm already, I'm watching

899
00:56:05.180 --> 00:56:12.040
my time. I gotta be careful. Go ahead, Anna. Hi. So a lot of what everyone said resonated

900
00:56:12.040 --> 00:56:19.780
with me, especially, um, that feeling of delay. Um, but I, I think that specifically the Lord

901
00:56:19.860 --> 00:56:29.700
wants me to release the idea that I had for my life. Um, and so that's always often a difficult

902
00:56:29.700 --> 00:56:35.380
one because, you know, you imagine things going a certain way and when they don't, it's difficult.

903
00:56:37.300 --> 00:56:42.500
Yeah, that's really good, Anna. And, and you're the first one that said anything like that today.

904
00:56:42.500 --> 00:56:47.380
I think that's really cool. The Holy spirit's pulling that out. I want to encourage you to pray

905
00:56:47.380 --> 00:56:55.300
and ask God to give you a new idea for your life. Okay. Okay. So yeah, because here's the thing,

906
00:56:55.300 --> 00:57:01.300
ladies, I can say that I had had very similar feelings, but God gave me some new visions and

907
00:57:01.300 --> 00:57:06.500
some new ideas and he showed me some new stuff that he was doing. And then when he showed me

908
00:57:06.500 --> 00:57:12.420
that I didn't feel so sad anymore about what didn't happen because I was partnering with what

909
00:57:12.420 --> 00:57:18.500
was coming, what was unfolding and all the good things there. So I want to encourage you to do

910
00:57:18.500 --> 00:57:30.740
that. So good. Okay. One more person. Joy. Oh, okay. I think God loves me. You want to design

911
00:57:30.740 --> 00:57:40.180
me to surrender my needs and desire, um, to him. So more surrender to him because the past,

912
00:57:40.180 --> 00:57:47.220
uh, painful experience, um, God, I want to meet a serenade. Sometimes it's because of a fear

913
00:57:47.220 --> 00:57:53.460
or doubt. Um, I need to surrender to God to face it and deal with it. Yeah.

914
00:57:54.420 --> 00:57:58.900
Really good. Thank you so much. And I think I had Sharon up there and I don't know if I accidentally

915
00:57:58.900 --> 00:58:03.060
put the wrong person's hand down. There was a Sharon Oh, but I think there was also a Sharon.

916
00:58:03.940 --> 00:58:12.100
Sharon, did you want to share? Um, well, real quick, I just, um, I haven't dated for, I can,

917
00:58:12.100 --> 00:58:18.580
I can understand the fear of failure because I haven't dated in 40 years. So that's not very,

918
00:58:18.580 --> 00:58:26.740
um, not a positive thing to think about. So rather than focus on that, I need to focus on

919
00:58:27.620 --> 00:58:35.060
trusting the process here and focus on that. Not on the fact that it's been 40 years. That's,

920
00:58:36.580 --> 00:58:41.460
that's a long time. Yeah. 20 years. I didn't say 40 years, 20 years.

921
00:58:42.420 --> 00:58:46.980
Okay. Well, either way, I want you to know that you're not alone. We actually have

922
00:58:46.980 --> 00:58:51.140
quite a bit of ladies that are in the same boat with you. And some that were

923
00:58:51.780 --> 00:58:55.460
in the same boat with you and guess what they're engaged in. Some of them are married now.

924
00:58:56.020 --> 00:59:03.380
So, um, want to encourage you that, uh, it's never too late. And, uh, if you, if you all go

925
00:59:03.380 --> 00:59:09.140
into phase two and phase three, the other phases that are available, uh, phase two, we, we spend a

926
00:59:09.140 --> 00:59:15.060
lot of time on coaching y'all on how to date successfully in a healthy way and get coaching

927
00:59:15.060 --> 00:59:20.020
specifically on that. So you're going to have community around you. That's going to help you

928
00:59:20.660 --> 00:59:26.660
coaches and community, um, learn how to do it. So even if you've not done it for a really long

929
00:59:26.660 --> 00:59:31.620
time, it's a little different now, right? It was different even for myself when I hadn't dated for

930
00:59:31.620 --> 00:59:36.580
a while and then started dating again. And, uh, so there's a lot of good things ahead for you.

931
00:59:36.580 --> 00:59:40.820
And so glad that you chose to share tonight as well. I'm going to start to shift into our

932
00:59:40.820 --> 00:59:45.700
additional content ladies. Cause I want to get us, like I said, to have another breakout. And I,

933
00:59:45.780 --> 00:59:50.900
if we have time, I do want to do some coaching on it. So let's talk about the real you,

934
00:59:50.900 --> 00:59:57.140
who are you really, who are you really? And do you let people see who you really are?

935
00:59:58.260 --> 00:59:59.860
What do I mean by that? Well,

936
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.920
Do you have little quirks about yourself and little things that you don't let other people

937
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:08.680
see or that you're afraid to let them see?

938
01:00:08.680 --> 01:00:13.720
I'm going to give a couple examples for you and just to get you kind of thinking about

939
01:00:13.720 --> 01:00:19.840
this a little bit, what I'm trying to get at as we start to talk about the real you.

940
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:26.480
When I went on my first date with Brian, who's my now husband, we went to a coffee shop.

941
01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:28.680
Sorry, y'all, I need a drink of water.

942
01:00:28.680 --> 01:00:39.000
We went to a coffee shop, got our drinks, sat down, and within a few minutes, literally,

943
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:45.400
of the conversation, he kind of blurts out, I like Legos and Marvel, just like blurted

944
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:46.400
it out.

945
01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:54.240
I think we chat about it a lot now, and I just kind of was like, okay, I like puzzles.

946
01:00:54.240 --> 01:00:55.920
That was genuinely my response.

947
01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:57.800
It didn't faze me at all.

948
01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:02.240
The reason I bring it up is we've talked, Brian and I, a lot about this.

949
01:01:02.240 --> 01:01:10.720
He did that because his ex-wife used to give him a hard time because he likes Legos as

950
01:01:10.720 --> 01:01:11.720
an adult.

951
01:01:11.720 --> 01:01:12.840
He likes Marvel.

952
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:18.040
He likes to be silly and have fun.

953
01:01:18.040 --> 01:01:23.600
Other people, even his mom on occasion, has made comments about how those are for kids

954
01:01:23.600 --> 01:01:29.120
and that kind of stuff, where people have an idea or a thought about what they think

955
01:01:29.120 --> 01:01:31.640
about something.

956
01:01:31.640 --> 01:01:35.040
Sometimes people don't think about how that's going to impact the person they're saying

957
01:01:35.040 --> 01:01:38.160
it to.

958
01:01:38.160 --> 01:01:44.120
He wanted to know if I was going to reject him right out of the gate, and so that's why

959
01:01:44.120 --> 01:01:46.840
he said that so quickly.

960
01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:52.000
Praise the Lord, I had a good response because I would have felt so sad if I didn't respond

961
01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:56.720
well to that, and then that would have been different.

962
01:01:56.720 --> 01:02:02.800
I do believe that God is wanting you to start thinking about aspects of yourself that you're

963
01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:08.520
afraid, whether someone else has put it down, or like I said a few minutes ago, you're afraid

964
01:02:08.520 --> 01:02:12.080
to let somebody know that you actually like that thing.

965
01:02:12.080 --> 01:02:16.040
We have a lot of women that, and y'all, when I say this, I know that there are some guys

966
01:02:16.040 --> 01:02:19.680
that don't have boundaries when they play video games, but we have some women that literally

967
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:28.640
say, I will not date someone who plays video games, because there's this stigma that guys

968
01:02:28.640 --> 01:02:31.960
that are gamers are just lazy and they don't do anything.

969
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:33.760
Well, guess what?

970
01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:39.000
I have a husband who loves to game, he loves this video game that he plays, and he sets

971
01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:44.520
healthy boundaries, and it's not a thing, y'all, and I just want you to know that it's

972
01:02:44.520 --> 01:02:49.600
okay for people to like stuff that we might not like.

973
01:02:49.600 --> 01:02:55.800
On occasion, I like to play video games, but I'm not as into the game that he plays, so

974
01:02:55.800 --> 01:03:00.600
I don't play that with him or anything, but you know what's really cool is some nights

975
01:03:00.600 --> 01:03:06.120
we have, I'll go do my thing, he goes and does his thing, and y'all, it works just fine.

976
01:03:06.120 --> 01:03:07.920
So I want you to keep an open mind about people.

977
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:11.400
I have another example for you, totally different example.

978
01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:16.280
It came out of a conversation I was having with a friend last night.

979
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:22.480
My friend is a first grade teacher, and so she's really good at stuff with kids, and

980
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:25.920
she has a lot of cute stuff that kids would like and all this stuff.

981
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:31.080
Well, she went to an event this weekend with adult women, friends, people from a community

982
01:03:31.080 --> 01:03:35.880
that she's in, and she took this pen pouch with her.

983
01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:38.200
Well, it's a really cute pen pouch.

984
01:03:38.200 --> 01:03:44.000
It's got a little smiley face on it, and it's decorated, and it's cute.

985
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:46.920
It's like a cute little pen pouch.

986
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:56.040
Anyways, this other woman that was one of the organizers there, my friend said, this

987
01:03:56.040 --> 01:03:58.560
is what my friend said to me in her text.

988
01:03:58.560 --> 01:04:06.760
She looked at me like I was weird and said, why would you have that?

989
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:09.000
So here's the thing.

990
01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:12.840
I want you all to understand out of this a couple things.

991
01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:18.600
My friend, as I have grown in friendship with her over the years, the enemy has often

992
01:04:18.600 --> 01:04:23.600
in her life tried to lie to her since she was a child and tell her over and over and

993
01:04:23.600 --> 01:04:26.320
over again that she was weird.

994
01:04:26.320 --> 01:04:31.720
One of the ways he told her was from some of the abuse and things that she had been

995
01:04:31.720 --> 01:04:32.720
through.

996
01:04:32.720 --> 01:04:38.280
Another was she really liked reading books, and kids made fun of her for reading books,

997
01:04:38.280 --> 01:04:40.400
and sometimes even adults did.

998
01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:44.920
And then she just internalized the lie that the enemy told her because the enemy told

999
01:04:44.920 --> 01:04:50.760
her she was weird, because she wasn't like other people in some ways.

1000
01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:58.880
And so that night at that event this weekend, the enemy was knocking on the door like, are

1001
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:00.000
you going to let me back in?

1002
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.960
in, are you going to partner with this lie again?

1003
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:04.200
That's what he was doing.

1004
01:05:05.640 --> 01:05:07.140
And so she had to make a choice

1005
01:05:07.140 --> 01:05:10.080
whether or not to allow that to impact her again.

1006
01:05:10.080 --> 01:05:12.920
Was she going to believe that she's weird again?

1007
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:14.840
Because someone else says, well, why do you have,

1008
01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:16.760
why would you have that?

1009
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:20.440
Now, that woman didn't say you're weird,

1010
01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:21.720
but it was the look

1011
01:05:21.720 --> 01:05:25.580
and it was what she is already battling with internally.

1012
01:05:25.580 --> 01:05:28.120
Do you understand what I'm saying here?

1013
01:05:28.120 --> 01:05:33.120
So some of you are battling things internally

1014
01:05:33.520 --> 01:05:35.800
that if someone looks at you a wrong way

1015
01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:37.720
or even says something like she did,

1016
01:05:37.720 --> 01:05:39.240
why would you have that?

1017
01:05:39.240 --> 01:05:42.840
You automatically are pulling back from who you really are.

1018
01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:46.600
And some of you would not take that pen pouch back

1019
01:05:46.600 --> 01:05:51.080
the next time, which I can understand

1020
01:05:51.080 --> 01:05:53.280
that would maybe feel uncomfortable.

1021
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:55.080
But I want you to get to the point

1022
01:05:55.080 --> 01:05:58.840
that I use my own example this afternoon.

1023
01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:03.000
I love these little, they're not markers.

1024
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:05.360
I don't know what they're, wax maybe,

1025
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:06.940
but I love them for my books.

1026
01:06:06.940 --> 01:06:07.780
I love it.

1027
01:06:07.780 --> 01:06:08.840
I love to mark my books up.

1028
01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:10.400
I take them with me when I travel.

1029
01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:11.240
They're in my book bag.

1030
01:06:11.240 --> 01:06:12.280
I move them in my purse.

1031
01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:14.640
Wherever I go, if I'm going to take a book,

1032
01:06:14.640 --> 01:06:16.680
I'm taking all these things with me, right?

1033
01:06:16.680 --> 01:06:19.480
Now, I don't have a cute little case for them,

1034
01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:22.200
but if someone looked at me like,

1035
01:06:22.200 --> 01:06:24.200
why do you have all those?

1036
01:06:24.200 --> 01:06:27.520
And treated me in some way that could have

1037
01:06:27.520 --> 01:06:29.240
in the past made me feel weird.

1038
01:06:29.240 --> 01:06:33.880
I'm telling you all, I'm totally cool with who I am

1039
01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:37.080
at this point in my life and that stuff doesn't bother me

1040
01:06:37.080 --> 01:06:39.560
because I like pens.

1041
01:06:39.560 --> 01:06:42.680
I don't care if somebody else likes that I have them.

1042
01:06:42.680 --> 01:06:44.960
And if I ever get a cute pen pouch

1043
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:49.320
and someone doesn't think it's age appropriate or whatever,

1044
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:54.200
okay, we can just move on, right?

1045
01:06:54.200 --> 01:06:57.660
But so many of us, I'm using this as a light example,

1046
01:06:57.660 --> 01:07:00.540
but so many of us don't.

1047
01:07:01.640 --> 01:07:06.520
We actually change who we are or things about ourselves

1048
01:07:06.520 --> 01:07:09.680
because somebody said something to us

1049
01:07:09.680 --> 01:07:13.360
or caused us to think that we were weird

1050
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:15.840
or different in a not good way.

1051
01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:20.640
So I want you to just be thinking about

1052
01:07:20.640 --> 01:07:22.800
if stuff is coming to your mind tonight,

1053
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:24.160
even as I'm talking about that,

1054
01:07:24.160 --> 01:07:25.720
I would like you to write it down

1055
01:07:25.720 --> 01:07:29.340
because I believe the Lord wants to heal those areas.

1056
01:07:29.340 --> 01:07:33.080
And he wants to come into, you know, even some of you,

1057
01:07:33.080 --> 01:07:35.120
somebody said to you were stupid,

1058
01:07:35.120 --> 01:07:38.500
all these negative things that were said over us,

1059
01:07:38.500 --> 01:07:41.160
God doesn't want you to carry that anymore.

1060
01:07:41.160 --> 01:07:43.840
He doesn't want you to believe that stuff anymore.

1061
01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:45.500
You're not weird.

1062
01:07:46.600 --> 01:07:48.880
Everybody likes different stuff.

1063
01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:52.640
Can't we all just love each other just the way that we are

1064
01:07:52.640 --> 01:07:56.660
and not try to make people be just like us?

1065
01:07:57.840 --> 01:07:59.640
Let's do that.

1066
01:07:59.640 --> 01:08:00.480
Yeah.

1067
01:08:01.680 --> 01:08:02.640
That's cute.

1068
01:08:02.640 --> 01:08:05.760
Glenna likes Snoopy and she likes to wear Snoopy clothing

1069
01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:07.160
and that's awesome.

1070
01:08:08.540 --> 01:08:10.980
My oldest spiritual daughter,

1071
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:15.520
I can't remember if it was two Christmases ago,

1072
01:08:16.200 --> 01:08:18.080
she wanted a ton of Hello Kitty stuff.

1073
01:08:18.080 --> 01:08:19.479
Okay, I bought it for her.

1074
01:08:19.479 --> 01:08:20.520
I don't care.

1075
01:08:23.080 --> 01:08:25.120
And she was, I see she's 21 now.

1076
01:08:25.120 --> 01:08:28.859
So she was 20 or something, 20, 19 or 20 then.

1077
01:08:28.859 --> 01:08:32.040
Well, back in the day, Hello Kitty was for little girls.

1078
01:08:32.040 --> 01:08:34.399
So I could have been that parent and been like,

1079
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:36.399
no, that's for little girls.

1080
01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:38.040
Or I could just be like, okay.

1081
01:08:39.080 --> 01:08:40.040
And just get it.

1082
01:08:40.040 --> 01:08:43.120
You know, I hope this is hitting home for some of you

1083
01:08:43.120 --> 01:08:46.600
because some of you, you are genuinely afraid

1084
01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:48.720
to be who you are.

1085
01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:50.600
And God wants you to step out of that.

1086
01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:53.080
The real you, your true identity.

1087
01:08:53.080 --> 01:08:55.000
Remember last week we talked about

1088
01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:56.760
who told you that you were naked.

1089
01:08:56.760 --> 01:08:58.640
God wants us to come out from under

1090
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:00.279
all of that rubble and mess

1091
01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:03.680
and step into the truth that we're a supernova.

1092
01:09:03.680 --> 01:09:06.420
Every single one of you has something amazing

1093
01:09:06.420 --> 01:09:09.160
on the inside of you that you're carrying

1094
01:09:09.160 --> 01:09:11.160
that can change the world.

1095
01:09:11.160 --> 01:09:14.319
And some of you, I want you to understand

1096
01:09:14.319 --> 01:09:18.040
that loving the person next to you, your neighbor,

1097
01:09:18.040 --> 01:09:20.960
is your version of changing the world.

1098
01:09:22.160 --> 01:09:24.439
Some of us are called to minister to groups.

1099
01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:27.960
Some of us are called, we're all called to minister to one.

1100
01:09:27.960 --> 01:09:30.720
Okay, just to go minister and love on one.

1101
01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:33.279
But like, it's gonna look different for everybody.

1102
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:36.000
We're not all called to preach and speak

1103
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:37.640
and do all the things.

1104
01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:40.680
Everybody has giftings and the body

1105
01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:43.080
has different parts for a reason.

1106
01:09:43.080 --> 01:09:45.020
Because we need all the body parts.

1107
01:09:45.020 --> 01:09:48.399
We need people to be who God called them to be,

1108
01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:50.720
who God created you to be.

1109
01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:52.720
What are the gifts and the talents and the skills

1110
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:54.840
and things that you have in you

1111
01:09:54.840 --> 01:09:57.160
that literally lighten the world up

1112
01:09:57.160 --> 01:10:00.000
whether you realize it or not when you operate in them?

1113
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.160
Romans 8, 37 through 39 says this,

1114
01:10:04.160 --> 01:10:08.000
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us,

1115
01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:13.280
for I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, nor the present,

1116
01:10:13.280 --> 01:10:17.600
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything

1117
01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:22.800
else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our

1118
01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:33.040
Lord. All of you are more than conquerors. You're more than a conqueror. That means not only do you

1119
01:10:33.040 --> 01:10:40.080
conquer, but you conquer really well if you believe and if you walk in all that God has for you,

1120
01:10:40.080 --> 01:10:45.440
that power and that presence, the same power that rose Jesus Christ from the dead is living in you

1121
01:10:45.440 --> 01:10:50.560
if you accept Jesus and it can operate through you. And the truth here is this,

1122
01:10:51.280 --> 01:10:55.600
in addition to that, if God is for you, who can be against you?

1123
01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:02.160
So even these things that you all were saying earlier, these areas that you need to surrender

1124
01:11:02.160 --> 01:11:07.760
to the Lord, guess what? As soon as you surrender and hopefully you're utilizing your Jesus Cares

1125
01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:11.600
Board, I was almost going to try to pull mine over here, but I'm afraid everything on my desk

1126
01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:16.960
is going to fall. Y'all, I've been using my Jesus Cares Board still all these years later. Today,

1127
01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:22.720
I put another post-it on there, put the person's name and I put the couple things that I'm feeling,

1128
01:11:22.720 --> 01:11:29.680
some resistance and some stuff going on there. And man, I felt better as soon as I wrote it

1129
01:11:30.240 --> 01:11:35.120
and then I put it up there and I just, Lord, I know that you're going to work in that situation

1130
01:11:35.120 --> 01:11:39.280
supernaturally. And now I can just, I can just let that go.

1131
01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:45.040
There's something about that. So I want to encourage you all, use your Jesus Cares Board,

1132
01:11:45.040 --> 01:11:50.640
cast your cares upon Him because He cares for you. And then guess what? You can just go and live your

1133
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:58.960
life and have the fun and adventure and press on because it's time. It's time for you as a princess

1134
01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:05.200
to awaken. And yes, I know we're queens too, but some of us are trying to be queens when you haven't

1135
01:12:05.520 --> 01:12:14.560
learned how to be a princess. I didn't have that earlier. That just came to me,

1136
01:12:14.560 --> 01:12:18.480
but I think it's true. I think that some of us are trying to be the queen,

1137
01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:27.280
but we don't even believe we're a princess. What do I mean by that? I mean that you don't look at

1138
01:12:27.280 --> 01:12:33.760
yourself like a princess. You don't walk like a princess. You don't believe that you are royalty

1139
01:12:33.760 --> 01:12:40.080
and that everything that is the father's is yours because life has told you something different.

1140
01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:47.840
And so your mindsets and your belief systems and your heart postures are telling you that

1141
01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:53.520
all you've got is scraps and that's all God's going to ever give you because you're not worth

1142
01:12:53.520 --> 01:13:02.400
more than that. That's a lie of the devil. He's trying to tell you that all you are going to get

1143
01:13:02.480 --> 01:13:08.400
are crumbs, that your place is under the table. It's not at the table. It's not with the feast

1144
01:13:09.280 --> 01:13:14.160
and that all the things that you've experienced in the past are going to be your future as well.

1145
01:13:14.160 --> 01:13:19.680
That's not truth. Ephesians 5.14 says this, awake, awake, oh sleeper,

1146
01:13:19.680 --> 01:13:23.120
and rise up from the dead and Christ will shine on you.

1147
01:13:26.320 --> 01:13:30.080
Where are you sleeping in parts of your heart and life right now?

1148
01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:44.240
When my niece was little, she lived with us. My sister lived with us when she had my niece.

1149
01:13:45.200 --> 01:13:52.960
I was still in high school. I think I was a junior when my sister had my niece, Jasmine.

1150
01:13:52.960 --> 01:13:59.520
I'm trying to think about this, but she was really little and she loved blowing the, you know,

1151
01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:04.400
the wish things, you know, the dandelions that turn into the wish things or however that process

1152
01:14:04.400 --> 01:14:10.640
goes. And she would put them up real close and try to blow them and she couldn't quite do it.

1153
01:14:12.400 --> 01:14:19.760
Why am I telling you this? Because you know what? I think some of us need to remember those moments

1154
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:27.040
from when we were little kids, or maybe when you had a little kid, those childlike moments of wonder

1155
01:14:27.040 --> 01:14:35.120
and awe of just something so simple as a, it's actually a weed, but it's this fun thing to do

1156
01:14:36.080 --> 01:14:44.000
to go out and just blow this and just see them fly. And imagine that those are your dreams and

1157
01:14:44.000 --> 01:14:49.600
they're not flying away from you, but they're being ignited and you're awakening to something

1158
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:56.400
new. What are you awakening to? You're awakening to true love's kiss, the kiss from having God

1159
01:14:56.400 --> 01:14:59.840
awakening you, you know, just like in, uh,

1160
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:06.000
It was a sleeping beauty and the prince comes and he kisses her and he awakes her up. Well in the spirit realm

1161
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:10.340
That's what we believe is happening to you while you're here in the heart work process

1162
01:15:10.340 --> 01:15:17.520
If you're doing the heart work, there is stuff that's gonna get awakened in you that you didn't even know was dead. I

1163
01:15:18.920 --> 01:15:22.720
Believe it because I've experienced it and I believe that's gonna happen for all of you as well

1164
01:15:23.360 --> 01:15:29.160
We are gonna awaken to a couple different things ladies here. Here they are to your true God-given identity

1165
01:15:29.160 --> 01:15:36.000
Here it is ladies the identity that God gave you before trauma or wounds ever entered your life

1166
01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:40.040
We we can't even comprehend that

1167
01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:48.020
We can get a glimpse of it a little bit more every day, but the fullness of who God originally created us to be

1168
01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:54.660
It's tough for us to comprehend it because most of us have known trauma most of our lives

1169
01:15:55.380 --> 01:15:58.100
But God wants to give you a new story a new identity

1170
01:15:58.100 --> 01:16:02.900
He wants to help you understand it and I talked about wreck-it Ralph a lot. I forgot about it this afternoon

1171
01:16:03.100 --> 01:16:08.780
There's a movie called wreck-it Ralph. It's a kids movie. It's been I mean, it's been years since it came out

1172
01:16:10.460 --> 01:16:16.460
But if you want to watch it or even look up what I'm gonna tell you it'll help you kind of

1173
01:16:17.180 --> 01:16:21.460
Come full circle with this story. There's a little character in there Vanellope

1174
01:16:21.460 --> 01:16:27.780
And she's a glitch when you first start watching the movie, she's a glitch and she's got these glitchy glitch problems

1175
01:16:27.780 --> 01:16:31.860
She's like kind of disappearing and she's then she's there and then she's glitching out

1176
01:16:31.860 --> 01:16:36.780
And I think y'all know what glitches are right in a TV or whatnot. Yeah, well

1177
01:16:37.660 --> 01:16:41.460
Without giving it away y'all. She really wasn't a glitch

1178
01:16:43.740 --> 01:16:45.740
She was something else and

1179
01:16:46.260 --> 01:16:49.380
It was it was really beautiful story. It was really beautiful

1180
01:16:49.420 --> 01:16:53.220
And it was it was really beautiful story as it unfolded on

1181
01:16:54.300 --> 01:16:56.300
Because there was this bad guy

1182
01:16:57.340 --> 01:17:01.820
In the story and so it kind of for me when I watch it God talks to me through movies a lot

1183
01:17:01.820 --> 01:17:07.620
So when I was watching it, I'm like, oh my gosh, just like the devil this guy in this movie

1184
01:17:07.940 --> 01:17:11.220
He's the one that created the glitch in her to begin with

1185
01:17:11.700 --> 01:17:15.540
He put something a chip in her and that's what caused her to glitch

1186
01:17:16.540 --> 01:17:19.300
But y'all she was always a princess

1187
01:17:21.140 --> 01:17:27.700
And so the story it starts to unfold where she starts remembering who she really was and

1188
01:17:28.740 --> 01:17:33.900
That's that's truth for some of you the enemy came and he put this chip in you

1189
01:17:34.700 --> 01:17:40.540
Through the trauma through the lies the wounds and it's been causing you to glitch ever since

1190
01:17:41.260 --> 01:17:45.040
But you've always been a princess. That's who you are

1191
01:17:46.020 --> 01:17:50.260
so God wants to help you wake up to that to awaken to restoration and

1192
01:17:50.740 --> 01:17:57.820
Reconciliation inside of yourself with other people with God himself and as well as wake up in big bold future

1193
01:17:58.180 --> 01:18:00.180
dreams awakening childhood dreams

1194
01:18:00.180 --> 01:18:05.380
Some of you all I believe God's gonna cause some things to come back to life that you wanted to do

1195
01:18:05.580 --> 01:18:09.420
When you were a child, so I talked about this this afternoon now some of you

1196
01:18:09.940 --> 01:18:13.740
if it's a physical thing that you dreamed of doing and

1197
01:18:14.180 --> 01:18:21.980
There's just no way for that to physically happen anymore. Let's ask God to give us some new dreams. Okay, because some of those things or

1198
01:18:23.020 --> 01:18:25.780
Ask God to show you a different way to do it

1199
01:18:25.860 --> 01:18:32.700
So what I mean by that is maybe you physically can't do I kind of used like if you wanted to be a basketball star

1200
01:18:32.700 --> 01:18:38.780
Well, I don't know. Maybe a lot of people even in their older age can be a basketball star, but probably not

1201
01:18:38.900 --> 01:18:43.380
Okay, but maybe there's something else God can show you that you can do. All right

1202
01:18:43.860 --> 01:18:50.220
God's also gonna give you new dreams. Some of you are gonna have a start like you're gonna start desiring to

1203
01:18:51.500 --> 01:18:55.860
I'm just gonna just whatever comes up. Maybe some of you are gonna want to go

1204
01:18:57.500 --> 01:19:00.280
Take a course to learn coding

1205
01:19:00.420 --> 01:19:05.180
maybe some of you are gonna want to go and learn how go back to school and learn how to

1206
01:19:06.700 --> 01:19:10.940
You know start your own business Laura was talking about doing like coaching she's doing earlier

1207
01:19:10.940 --> 01:19:15.380
You know these dreams that awaken in us. Maybe you've always had a desire to

1208
01:19:16.180 --> 01:19:21.780
Create an invention. I don't know but like maybe it's too right. Maybe it's to speak. Maybe it's to

1209
01:19:22.580 --> 01:19:24.460
Start a nonprofit and help someone

1210
01:19:24.460 --> 01:19:26.580
I don't know what your dreams are

1211
01:19:26.580 --> 01:19:33.740
But I believe God's gonna awaken stuff in you as you heal more and more and more and step into the real you

1212
01:19:34.460 --> 01:19:36.460
Here is the key

1213
01:19:36.820 --> 01:19:42.380
To all of this we all have to choose what we are going to believe

1214
01:19:43.700 --> 01:19:50.460
Do you believe what God says about you or are you gonna choose to partner with and believe what the enemy says about you?

1215
01:19:51.460 --> 01:19:55.020
Every single day we have a choice for this. Okay. All right

1216
01:19:56.020 --> 01:20:00.140
I'm gonna put you in your breakout in what ways does the enemy change?

1217
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.060
challenge the real you? That's the question. In what ways does

1218
01:20:04.060 --> 01:20:10.140
the enemy challenge the real you? Does he often use

1219
01:20:10.140 --> 01:20:16.420
comparison, competition, or imitation? Or maybe all of them

1220
01:20:16.420 --> 01:20:19.940
or maybe some of them, you know, whatever he does in you? That's

1221
01:20:19.980 --> 01:20:23.460
that's the question. In what ways does the enemy challenge

1222
01:20:23.460 --> 01:20:28.540
the real you? Does he often use comparison, competition or

1223
01:20:28.540 --> 01:20:32.080
imitation? I am going to recreate the breakout rooms. I'm

1224
01:20:32.080 --> 01:20:40.300
going to put you with some different people. Um, and I'm

1225
01:20:40.300 --> 01:20:42.180
going to give you five minutes this time. So you got to be

1226
01:20:42.180 --> 01:20:46.120
short, brief and powerful. And make sure everybody gets to

1227
01:20:46.120 --> 01:20:48.340
share. Go ahead and click to join those rooms, ladies.

1228
01:21:03.700 --> 01:21:06.300
Right, father, we just thank you that you are the one that

1229
01:21:06.300 --> 01:21:11.220
gives us dreams. That you are the dream giver. So we thank you

1230
01:21:11.220 --> 01:21:15.300
God that you would awaken dreams within us. And we thank you God

1231
01:21:15.320 --> 01:21:19.560
that you would help us every day to grow in the understanding of

1232
01:21:19.560 --> 01:21:22.740
who you originally created us to be God. I thank you that you

1233
01:21:22.740 --> 01:21:25.720
would give these ladies dreams in the daytime dreams in the

1234
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:29.560
nighttime, God that you would give them a glimpse from heaven

1235
01:21:30.480 --> 01:21:33.320
about how you see them the way that you view them all the

1236
01:21:33.320 --> 01:21:35.760
things that you want to bring into their life. God, we thank

1237
01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:40.840
you that you are continuing to renew our minds that you're

1238
01:21:40.840 --> 01:21:44.140
taking all the old stuff, you're transforming our minds

1239
01:21:44.140 --> 01:21:51.260
and yeah, Lord forming us into the image of God to look a

1240
01:21:51.260 --> 01:21:56.180
little bit more like Jesus every single day. Here is Matthew 514

1241
01:21:56.180 --> 01:21:59.020
through 16. In the message version, it says this, here's

1242
01:21:59.020 --> 01:22:03.300
another way to put it, you're here to be light. Excuse me,

1243
01:22:03.300 --> 01:22:06.640
bringing out the God colors in the world. God is not a secret

1244
01:22:06.640 --> 01:22:10.060
to be kept. We're going public with this as public as a city on

1245
01:22:10.060 --> 01:22:12.760
a hill. If I make you lightbearers, you don't think

1246
01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:16.160
I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you

1247
01:22:16.160 --> 01:22:19.900
on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop on a

1248
01:22:19.900 --> 01:22:24.160
light stand, shine, keep open house, be generous with your

1249
01:22:24.160 --> 01:22:27.640
lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up

1250
01:22:27.640 --> 01:22:31.600
with God, this generous Father in heaven. Y'all, that's so

1251
01:22:31.600 --> 01:22:36.480
powerful. I love how it says, now that I've put you there on a

1252
01:22:36.480 --> 01:22:39.940
hilltop on a light stand, shine. Lord, I thank you that

1253
01:22:39.940 --> 01:22:43.780
you would help every one of these ladies begin to shine more

1254
01:22:43.780 --> 01:22:47.620
and more and more in their life from the inside out, not just on

1255
01:22:47.620 --> 01:22:52.200
the outside as a performance thing that we try to do or

1256
01:22:52.200 --> 01:22:55.060
achieve, but God, that literally, the more that you

1257
01:22:55.060 --> 01:22:59.660
heal us on the inside, that it would just permeate to all those

1258
01:22:59.660 --> 01:23:02.820
around us, that women would start hearing from friends or

1259
01:23:02.820 --> 01:23:05.940
family people or people that they would encounter that

1260
01:23:05.940 --> 01:23:09.120
they're just glowing, God, and that you would do that

1261
01:23:09.120 --> 01:23:11.680
supernaturally in them and through them. And we just thank

1262
01:23:11.680 --> 01:23:15.660
you in advance for that. Romans 8, 30 through 32 in the Passion

1263
01:23:15.660 --> 01:23:19.960
Translation says this, having determined our destiny ahead of

1264
01:23:19.960 --> 01:23:22.960
time, he called us to himself and transferred his perfect

1265
01:23:22.960 --> 01:23:25.960
righteousness to everyone he called. And those who possess

1266
01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:30.200
his perfect righteousness, he glorified with his son. So what

1267
01:23:30.200 --> 01:23:33.640
does all this mean? God has determined to stand with us.

1268
01:23:33.640 --> 01:23:37.100
Tell me who then could ever stand against us, which is kind

1269
01:23:37.100 --> 01:23:40.120
of what I was saying earlier later, ladies, goes on, for God

1270
01:23:40.120 --> 01:23:43.140
has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift

1271
01:23:43.140 --> 01:23:46.840
of his son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice

1272
01:23:46.840 --> 01:23:51.300
for us all, he certainly won't withhold from us anything else

1273
01:23:51.300 --> 01:23:55.940
he has to give. Remember, I was saying he's a good father, and

1274
01:23:55.940 --> 01:24:01.000
everything that is his is ours. He will, you know, as a good

1275
01:24:01.000 --> 01:24:04.580
father, not give us all the candy, if you all the good

1276
01:24:04.580 --> 01:24:07.660
stuff all at once, because we might just like a little kid

1277
01:24:07.660 --> 01:24:12.640
would get sick. He gives us the gifts when we're ready for them

1278
01:24:12.640 --> 01:24:16.740
when we're able to receive them. And sometimes we he does, man,

1279
01:24:16.740 --> 01:24:19.480
when he lavishes, sometimes we get a lot of gifts, and they're

1280
01:24:19.480 --> 01:24:23.540
coming all at once. And it just will floor you in a good way,

1281
01:24:24.040 --> 01:24:27.500
regarding all of God's promises and plans for you. It's really

1282
01:24:27.500 --> 01:24:32.560
awesome. Okay, here's another one. This is so good. This goes

1283
01:24:32.560 --> 01:24:37.320
in alignment with we are daughters of the king. Romans

1284
01:24:37.360 --> 01:24:40.940
817. From the passions translation, it says, and since

1285
01:24:40.940 --> 01:24:46.040
we are his true children, we qualify to share all his

1286
01:24:46.080 --> 01:24:50.300
treasures. For indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since

1287
01:24:50.300 --> 01:24:54.720
we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is, and all

1288
01:24:54.720 --> 01:24:59.820
that he has, we will experience being co glorified with him.

1289
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:05.920
provided that we accept his sufferings as our own. So, you know, that we would suffer with him,

1290
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:10.000
but we would also reign with him. Basically, that's what that's saying. That's pretty awesome.

1291
01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:18.880
Ephesians 3, 17 through 19. I also want to read this over you all tonight. In the NLT version

1292
01:25:18.880 --> 01:25:24.240
says this, then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him, your roots will grow

1293
01:25:24.240 --> 01:25:31.520
down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand as all God's

1294
01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:37.920
people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep his love is. May you experience the

1295
01:25:37.920 --> 01:25:43.760
experience, the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will

1296
01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:51.360
be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Lord, we just thank you

1297
01:25:52.080 --> 01:25:57.040
that you're going to help us become more rooted and grounded in you every day, that we will be

1298
01:25:57.040 --> 01:26:02.400
like a green leaf that will also be like the scriptures talk about us ladies being green

1299
01:26:02.400 --> 01:26:07.680
leaves and flourishing. And if you ever want to look that up, there's several scriptures that

1300
01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:13.200
talk about the green leaf, but also that we would be like that tree planted by rivers of living

1301
01:26:13.200 --> 01:26:19.440
water. And this one doesn't say that, but I love how this says your roots will grow down into God's

1302
01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:25.360
love and keep you strong. So Lord, we thank you that you will help our roots to grow down deep

1303
01:26:25.360 --> 01:26:31.440
into you so that we can become strong down into your love and the understanding of who you are

1304
01:26:31.440 --> 01:26:37.760
as a good father. We thank you, God, that you would, yeah, Lord, just remove any filters and

1305
01:26:37.760 --> 01:26:41.920
things that are on our eyes, our hearts, our minds, our spirits and souls that cause us to

1306
01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:48.720
look at you and your character in any way that is not truth about who you are. We thank you,

1307
01:26:48.720 --> 01:26:56.160
God, that you are good and loving and you give us mercy and grace every day. And I thank you,

1308
01:26:56.160 --> 01:27:00.960
Lord, just in my spirit. I heard the Lord say that he's a, he's abounding grace upon grace,

1309
01:27:00.960 --> 01:27:06.800
upon grace, like multiple layers of grace upon you all. And so just want to bless you with that.

1310
01:27:06.800 --> 01:27:13.040
Welcome back. So glad that y'all are back. I try to pray and just declare scripture over you all,

1311
01:27:13.040 --> 01:27:17.520
and especially like while you're in there sharing, but also for our ladies that watch replay,

1312
01:27:18.160 --> 01:27:24.800
um, and so if y'all just ever need something to listen to, feel free to go back and fast forward

1313
01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:30.800
to those areas and let that minister to you. Um, okay. So I want to show you before I probably will

1314
01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:36.080
let one or two people share. We don't have a lot of time. I don't want to keep you all long. I do

1315
01:27:36.080 --> 01:27:43.440
want to very quickly talk about the activation this week. Um, I want to talk about the silhouette

1316
01:27:43.440 --> 01:27:46.960
of yourself. I'm going to show you some examples. Just like I did last week,

1317
01:27:46.960 --> 01:27:52.000
ladies do not feel like you have to do it like this. I want this to be your thing. Now,

1318
01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:56.880
some of you, I know I gave the activation for the roots and the trees last, the roots and fruits one

1319
01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:01.360
last week, ladies, just keep working on this stuff and put it in there whenever you get it

1320
01:28:01.360 --> 01:28:06.240
finished, but please still, you know, don't write it off because you get behind on those. Okay.

1321
01:28:06.240 --> 01:28:11.600
These are extra. I know that they are, but I really genuinely know that some of you are going

1322
01:28:11.600 --> 01:28:17.760
to get your breakthrough, um, from literally doing these things. All right. So what we do with

1323
01:28:17.760 --> 01:28:24.640
this is you can draw just an outline of yourself, a silhouette, and you can do it a lot of different

1324
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:30.640
ways. I'm going to show you several different examples. Um, but the key is this. I want you

1325
01:28:30.640 --> 01:28:39.440
to ask God to help you hear what his spirit is saying to you. What is his spirit speaking over

1326
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:48.240
you? Who does God say you are? God, who do you say that I am? God, who do you say that I am?

1327
01:28:48.240 --> 01:28:53.360
And listen for what he says. And I want you to write it down on a piece of paper first,

1328
01:28:53.360 --> 01:28:58.640
because here's why some of you are going to hear some negative stuff. Now that needs to go on a

1329
01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:05.840
separate piece of paper, write the negative thing down, and then ask the Lord to give you the truth

1330
01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:13.520
to replace the lie. Okay. And then you process that through, because if you keep hearing negative,

1331
01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:17.520
well, you'll have to just keep praying and process that through until you get to the truth.

1332
01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:23.600
And then all of the truth statements, because they're not always just one word. Sometimes God

1333
01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:29.280
is going to say a phrase over you, and you would put that on here as well. Okay. So it doesn't have

1334
01:29:29.280 --> 01:29:37.040
to just be one word. This example I want to show you is, this woman did this Picasso-like

1335
01:29:37.040 --> 01:29:42.320
self-portrait, because before she took the heart work, she really struggled with a

1336
01:29:42.320 --> 01:29:48.320
distorted poor self-image. You see her chat there. That's what she said. And she struggled with her

1337
01:29:48.320 --> 01:29:54.560
self-image for a really long time, internally and externally. And so she wanted to represent

1338
01:29:54.560 --> 01:29:59.920
that distorted view being covered by truth that God spoke of her.

1339
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:01.340
and I'm just going to read a couple.

1340
01:30:01.340 --> 01:30:08.760
She wrote mature, respectable, precious, chosen, and admirable.

1341
01:30:08.760 --> 01:30:11.520
That's just a couple there. Here's the next one.

1342
01:30:11.520 --> 01:30:16.500
As I talked about the daughter of the king in the session when we did this before,

1343
01:30:16.500 --> 01:30:18.960
this lady really ministered to her,

1344
01:30:18.960 --> 01:30:22.800
so she put a crown on her drawing,

1345
01:30:22.800 --> 01:30:24.480
and she just drew with pencil,

1346
01:30:24.480 --> 01:30:26.100
and then she did the words in color,

1347
01:30:26.100 --> 01:30:27.960
and the colors mean different things to her.

1348
01:30:27.960 --> 01:30:31.060
If you see, she did some of the words in pen,

1349
01:30:31.060 --> 01:30:32.820
and then other words in colors,

1350
01:30:32.820 --> 01:30:36.380
and there's only one that's in pink, reliable.

1351
01:30:36.380 --> 01:30:37.680
I think that's so cool.

1352
01:30:37.680 --> 01:30:41.200
This is like flow with what the Holy Spirit wants you to do.

1353
01:30:41.200 --> 01:30:44.040
Across her eyes, she wrote imaginative,

1354
01:30:44.040 --> 01:30:45.760
and then there's a little flower drawn there.

1355
01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:47.680
I think that's really neat as well.

1356
01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:49.320
I want to encourage you-all,

1357
01:30:49.320 --> 01:30:53.400
really allow yourself to express this the way that you need to.

1358
01:30:53.400 --> 01:30:55.400
Here's another one.

1359
01:30:55.400 --> 01:31:00.800
This, I love she put her freckles on there and everything,

1360
01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:03.260
her blonde hair, discerner, dreamer,

1361
01:31:03.260 --> 01:31:06.880
uplifting, kind, loyal, passionate.

1362
01:31:06.880 --> 01:31:10.440
This lady as well as another one later on,

1363
01:31:10.440 --> 01:31:13.160
both did not like seeing themselves on screen.

1364
01:31:13.160 --> 01:31:15.360
Part of their healing process, ladies,

1365
01:31:15.360 --> 01:31:18.640
was actually coming on screen and letting themselves be seen,

1366
01:31:18.640 --> 01:31:21.140
and then drawing the silhouette of themselves,

1367
01:31:21.140 --> 01:31:24.320
help them really process loving who they are,

1368
01:31:24.320 --> 01:31:25.920
and loving how God created them.

1369
01:31:25.920 --> 01:31:29.400
This lady here just drew this outline,

1370
01:31:29.400 --> 01:31:33.440
and there were different ones that she felt led to put up on her mind,

1371
01:31:33.440 --> 01:31:35.000
in her head, in her face,

1372
01:31:35.000 --> 01:31:37.160
and then other ones down on her body,

1373
01:31:37.160 --> 01:31:38.320
which I think is awesome.

1374
01:31:38.320 --> 01:31:43.520
Again, this is about what is God saying to you and conveying that onto paper.

1375
01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:45.640
I don't have a copy of this one tonight,

1376
01:31:45.640 --> 01:31:49.960
but one lady recently felt led to draw a ballerina,

1377
01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:53.640
and she doesn't feel led to do ballet classes,

1378
01:31:53.640 --> 01:31:56.120
but she felt like that was the picture of God,

1379
01:31:56.120 --> 01:31:58.760
like a Cinderella ballerina,

1380
01:31:58.760 --> 01:32:01.640
and it was really beautiful, very powerful.

1381
01:32:01.640 --> 01:32:03.280
This lady here, if you can see,

1382
01:32:03.280 --> 01:32:05.760
she also highlighted free and seen.

1383
01:32:05.760 --> 01:32:07.600
Those really stood out to her.

1384
01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:12.280
Here's another one. She wrote the real me at the top.

1385
01:32:12.280 --> 01:32:18.400
Loved, beloved, lovely, light bearer, compassionate,

1386
01:32:18.400 --> 01:32:21.480
soft-hearted, intercessor.

1387
01:32:21.520 --> 01:32:23.560
Those are just a couple of her words.

1388
01:32:23.560 --> 01:32:25.560
She wrote on there, resident of heaven.

1389
01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:27.240
I just saw that. That's awesome.

1390
01:32:27.240 --> 01:32:29.800
Here's another one. She felt led to put a crown.

1391
01:32:29.800 --> 01:32:31.680
I love it. She put red lips,

1392
01:32:31.680 --> 01:32:36.440
super cute, vibrant, cheerful.

1393
01:32:36.440 --> 01:32:39.280
Carrie's piece were a couple of hers.

1394
01:32:39.280 --> 01:32:42.000
Here's one. Look at this, ladies.

1395
01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:43.960
I just love all of these.

1396
01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:45.280
They're so cool.

1397
01:32:45.280 --> 01:32:48.280
Everybody's different personalities and things are coming forward.

1398
01:32:48.440 --> 01:32:52.520
She's flourishing and growth is coming out of her mind.

1399
01:32:52.520 --> 01:32:54.560
That's what that's representing for her.

1400
01:32:54.560 --> 01:32:56.120
Really cool.

1401
01:32:56.120 --> 01:32:57.520
She says, who am I?

1402
01:32:57.520 --> 01:32:58.840
Who does God say I am?

1403
01:32:58.840 --> 01:33:00.160
And then she wrote all these different,

1404
01:33:00.160 --> 01:33:01.200
so she's flourishing.

1405
01:33:01.200 --> 01:33:03.360
She's a nurturer. She's wise.

1406
01:33:03.360 --> 01:33:06.040
And then she's got all the words on her body as well.

1407
01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:09.720
Mother in Israel is written on there.

1408
01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:11.320
I think that's really neat too.

1409
01:33:12.680 --> 01:33:14.440
Here's the last one I'm going to show you.

1410
01:33:14.440 --> 01:33:15.760
This is my other young lady

1411
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:19.400
that had really a big struggle with being on screen.

1412
01:33:19.400 --> 01:33:24.400
And she started just really flourishing through heartwork

1413
01:33:24.400 --> 01:33:27.360
and was doing even photos of herself

1414
01:33:27.360 --> 01:33:28.360
and posting in the group.

1415
01:33:28.360 --> 01:33:29.240
I want y'all to know,

1416
01:33:29.240 --> 01:33:32.400
I know that some of you really struggle with this stuff,

1417
01:33:32.400 --> 01:33:34.360
but if you will come into the group

1418
01:33:34.360 --> 01:33:37.760
and do the opposite of what you don't want to do,

1419
01:33:37.760 --> 01:33:39.480
I think it'll help you, you know, again,

1420
01:33:39.480 --> 01:33:42.600
break into freedom in ways you can't even imagine.

1421
01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:44.840
So as she did her silhouette,

1422
01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:45.720
if you notice here,

1423
01:33:45.720 --> 01:33:48.320
she drew a bunch of flowers over her eyes.

1424
01:33:49.200 --> 01:33:50.680
And if I remember correctly,

1425
01:33:50.680 --> 01:33:53.880
when she wrote her, like her text,

1426
01:33:53.880 --> 01:33:55.800
when she did this post,

1427
01:33:55.800 --> 01:33:58.360
she was saying how God was giving her new eyes

1428
01:33:58.360 --> 01:33:59.640
to see herself.

1429
01:34:00.640 --> 01:34:02.760
That's what that was representing to her.

1430
01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:05.960
Child of God, desirable, creative,

1431
01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:08.640
hearer of God's voice,

1432
01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:10.080
divinely designed.

1433
01:34:10.080 --> 01:34:12.040
Look at all that ladies.

1434
01:34:12.040 --> 01:34:12.880
All right.

1435
01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:14.720
So powerful.

1436
01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:16.880
I pray that you'll make this journey

1437
01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:20.440
of the silhouette of yourself, your own.

1438
01:34:20.440 --> 01:34:23.640
And if it's all in pencil, that's fine,

1439
01:34:23.640 --> 01:34:25.120
but let it be yours.

1440
01:34:25.120 --> 01:34:27.120
Own what is God saying to you?

1441
01:34:27.120 --> 01:34:28.920
Let him talk to you.

1442
01:34:28.920 --> 01:34:32.600
And if you do this and you're struggling to hear,

1443
01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:34.800
just keep asking.

1444
01:34:34.800 --> 01:34:35.720
Just keep asking.

1445
01:34:35.720 --> 01:34:37.440
Cause it will come to you.

1446
01:34:37.440 --> 01:34:40.200
Some people, it might take you longer and that's okay.

1447
01:34:41.360 --> 01:34:42.320
That's okay.

1448
01:34:42.320 --> 01:34:44.520
All right, ladies, we're already at 934.

1449
01:34:45.320 --> 01:34:46.160
I probably shouldn't go any longer.

1450
01:34:46.160 --> 01:34:48.080
So if you do want to share

1451
01:34:48.080 --> 01:34:49.760
about what you shared in the breakout group

1452
01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:51.200
about the real you,

1453
01:34:51.200 --> 01:34:53.000
we love to hear about your dreams

1454
01:34:53.000 --> 01:34:54.640
that are awakening within you.

1455
01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:56.560
Feel free to come and post that kind of stuff

1456
01:34:56.560 --> 01:34:57.680
in the group too.

1457
01:34:58.520 --> 01:35:00.160
And we're just excited to.

1458
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:01.840
see what God's doing in all of you.

1459
01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:04.560
We just love being here on this journey with you.

1460
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:05.400
Let me pray for us.

1461
01:35:05.400 --> 01:35:07.220
Father, thank you so much

1462
01:35:07.220 --> 01:35:08.980
for everything that you've already done tonight.

1463
01:35:08.980 --> 01:35:11.420
God, thank you for rewriting our stories,

1464
01:35:12.360 --> 01:35:14.740
for taking all the broken shattered pieces

1465
01:35:14.740 --> 01:35:15.960
of our hearts and our lives

1466
01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:18.400
and taking those into your hand

1467
01:35:18.400 --> 01:35:20.600
and molding them into a masterpiece.

1468
01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:22.420
We thank you, God, that we are the clay

1469
01:35:22.420 --> 01:35:23.520
and you're the potter

1470
01:35:23.520 --> 01:35:27.160
and you're literally weaving all the things together

1471
01:35:27.160 --> 01:35:29.200
in our lives for our good

1472
01:35:29.200 --> 01:35:30.800
and to save many people alive.

1473
01:35:30.800 --> 01:35:32.380
And we just thank you in advance for that.

1474
01:35:32.380 --> 01:35:34.040
We thank you that you'll help us

1475
01:35:34.040 --> 01:35:36.280
a little bit more to surrender this week,

1476
01:35:36.280 --> 01:35:39.280
that we'll continue to take down, do not enter signs

1477
01:35:39.280 --> 01:35:41.840
and God that we will step further into the fullness

1478
01:35:41.840 --> 01:35:44.520
of who you originally created us to be

1479
01:35:44.520 --> 01:35:48.440
and know who we are as the beloved daughter of the King,

1480
01:35:48.440 --> 01:35:50.000
that we are a daughter of the King

1481
01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:53.920
and that we will take our royal place as an heir

1482
01:35:53.920 --> 01:35:56.960
and step into the truth that we are a princess

1483
01:35:56.960 --> 01:35:59.140
in Jesus name, amen.

1484
01:36:00.080 --> 01:36:00.920
God bless you.

1485
01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:01.760
We'll see you all in the group.

1486
01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:04.220
Have a great night, everyone.

1487
01:36:04.220 --> 01:36:05.060
Bye.

1488
01:36:05.060 --> 01:36:05.980
Thanks so much, Bethany.

1489
01:36:05.980 --> 01:36:06.820
Bye ladies.
