WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.960 So the thing I really want to talk to you today is how do you unlock the power of your 2 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:07.960 yoke? 3 00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.400 You know, we've talked a lot about being yoked with the Lord. 4 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.360 What does that mean? 5 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.280 And we, you know, we've, we've used as our foundation, Matthew 11, 20, we really use 6 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.360 three key scriptures. 7 00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:28.440 So when you're thinking about kingdom executive, partnering with God, leading with God, and 8 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.000 by the way, my book, Leading with God will be out shortly, right, Jenny? 9 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.760 And what we're going to do with that is what we, the three core scriptures we've built 10 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:45.960 around is Matthew 11, obviously 28 through 30, as the foundation of Jesus saying, come, 11 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.240 you can't come and yoke with me if you're stressed out, heavy laden burden, hey, let's 12 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.400 start step one, let's exchange that for rest, because that sets us up. 13 00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.400 It activates our yoke, our partnership in the Lord. 14 00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:06.120 So, and then he said, come and learn from me, for I am humble and I'm lowly. 15 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.320 That means he will talk to your level wherever you are, and he knows what you need. 16 00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:15.800 He has a dream for your business, he has a dream for how you're going to do this together. 17 00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:21.600 And so he moves us out of this servant mode, trying to do things for God, and starts to 18 00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:25.240 move us into friendship mode, doing things with God. 19 00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:29.200 And that ties into the scripture where Jesus said, I don't call you servants any longer, 20 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.760 I call you friends. 21 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:31.760 Why? 22 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.320 Because servants don't know what their master is doing, but friends do, and I will teach 23 00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:39.680 you, I love this, everything the Father taught me. 24 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:44.160 So now the yoke gets him, you get invited to the yoke, and then the Father pitches in, 25 00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:51.120 and he says, oh, and by the way, the Father, you are God's workmanship created in yoke, 26 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:56.120 created in Jesus, which the Father has prepared beforehand for you to do what? 27 00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:02.920 For you to actually walk in, for you to truly execute on, to truly step into those prepared 28 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:03.920 things. 29 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.120 Now, I don't think that the Father is talking about he's prepared every little, you know, 30 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.320 thing you're going to do, and what you're going to have for breakfast tomorrow morning 31 00:02:11.320 --> 00:02:14.360 or whatever, you know, who you're going to hire. 32 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:19.440 What he's talking about is his purposes, God's purposes. 33 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:24.560 He's so committed to his purposes, and as you, you know, drive your business into the 34 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.840 world, you get all the pushback from people's wills and people, you know, because he's not 35 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.680 going to override everybody's will to execute, because he won't go against himself. 36 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.080 So in that situation, he has to navigate through all the people's will. 37 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.760 The person he wanted you to join your team and didn't, the person who joined your team 38 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:48.160 and shouldn't have, et cetera, all that stuff, the client you thought you were going to get, 39 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:53.560 the position you thought you were going to get, God navigates all that stuff because 40 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.720 his purposes are ultimately immovable. 41 00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:02.440 But between here and his purpose being fulfilled, there are a multitude of pathways left open 42 00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:08.120 to a lot of people being involved, and the Lord honoring their free will in the process. 43 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.120 So what does that mean? 44 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.480 Well, that leads us to Romans 8.28, which is he's so confident in himself and in his 45 00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:20.600 partnership with you that he says all things, all this stuff, even if it looks like it's 46 00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:25.880 going wrong, all things work together for the good of them that love God, our partnership, 47 00:03:25.880 --> 00:03:29.400 and are called according to his purpose. 48 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.140 Back to the purpose word again. 49 00:03:31.140 --> 00:03:35.000 So what the Lord is saying to us is, I'm in this with you. 50 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:41.560 Hey, you partnered with Jesus in this business, so you have a yoke partner. 51 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:46.480 And then a few months ago, we started breaking through what does the yoke mean. 52 00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:50.480 Such a clever word because the world listens to that and says it sounds so restrictive, 53 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:55.960 sounds harsh, and God hides freedom in a word that sounds harsh to the world. 54 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:56.960 Isn't that clever? 55 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.000 I think that's genius. 56 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.400 And so he hides your biggest freedom, the place you're going to find the deepest fulfillment, 57 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.880 the most freedom, the feel most alive, he hides in this idea of yoke because you and 58 00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:13.000 Jesus are one. 59 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.160 And you know, when we say brilliant, God loves you in the same way that he loves Jesus. 60 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:22.000 People go, well, what about me, which is such a crazy thing to say, because it means you 61 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.880 don't realize you and he are one. 62 00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:29.040 The part you're talking about died, the old you died, and now the new you, which is Christ 63 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.360 in you, is the new you. 64 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.480 And so God loves you in exactly the same way he loves Jesus. 65 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:43.320 And so that sets you up and positions you in the most favorable part in his heart. 66 00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:46.200 It positions you in favor. 67 00:04:46.200 --> 00:04:51.440 So now we don't function towards favor, we're not trying to walk towards favor, we're not 68 00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:55.200 trying to dial favor in through our behavior and performance. 69 00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:59.600 We function from favor because we are in yoke with the one. 70 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.240 For whom all of heaven is attracted to 71 00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:07.920 So that's an extraordinary starting place. So I put that as just a quick 72 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.160 Start up thought around just bring everybody up to speed in case you've missed a few 73 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.120 As we've gone through this. So what does yoke mean to you this partnership this? 74 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:22.000 It means you can use everything you get from the lord as yoke something 75 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.680 The lord started speaking to me about this and he said hey, I want you to learn our yoke voice 76 00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:34.800 You have a voice. I have a voice but when we're ministering together, there's a yoke voice. That's different 77 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.520 And I thought well, what is that then lord? 78 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.420 And so it's not just tone and presentation and quality of delivery 79 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:50.080 It's about capturing element of his heart that you so uniquely express that yoke voice 80 00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:56.080 And lord, what about those promises? Yeah, those are yoke promises. They're in jesus. So we'll say what's the difference? 81 00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:00.240 Well, the difference is every promise god has given you for your life 82 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.800 For your business for your team 83 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:06.160 He gave to jesus in you so it doesn't go anywhere 84 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.720 Can't get messed up. Can't get lost. Can't get derailed 85 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.720 Every promise is held by jesus in you now 86 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.400 That's pretty good news 87 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:19.520 And then I realized so there's yoke promises then there's you know 88 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:26.480 Yoke voice and then you can literally start adding yoke anything to that including your yoke business 89 00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:33.280 So the question is how do we up level this to a neck because I think when I hear 90 00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:36.320 a lot of executive training programs 91 00:06:37.200 --> 00:06:41.520 A lot of it has got to getting them to shift their thinking to move to a new mind 92 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.680 But the bible says you have the mind of christ 93 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.240 Okay, so we have the mind of christ 94 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.160 We're in yoke 95 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:58.320 We have yoke permission and yoke promises yoke provisions that that the father's already prepared before and for us to walk in 96 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.720 so the question is 97 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:08.240 How do we step in to that potential? In other words, how do we kind of do a 10x shift in our yoke? 98 00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:14.000 So to set a baseline i'd like you to answer four questions quick if you would you can run a piece of paper or 99 00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:16.960 Notes or whatever you want to do 100 00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:21.680 Question number one. I just want to set a baseline then we're going to talk and then we're going to come back to this 101 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.880 Number one. What are the three things you need right now can be in your life your business your team 102 00:07:29.200 --> 00:07:31.200 What are the three things you need? 103 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:33.840 right now 104 00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:36.960 So write that down 105 00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:39.040 What are the three things you need not right now? 106 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.920 And by the way, just like pull them straight out of your heart. Don't overthink these answers to these questions 107 00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:47.360 Just whatever's right there in front of you just go with that 108 00:07:50.320 --> 00:07:53.920 Okay, are we ready to go to the next one next one is 109 00:07:54.640 --> 00:07:58.240 So what are the three things you need right now? Just simple bullet points 110 00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:01.440 What is your unique ability? 111 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.200 What is your yoke ability 112 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:12.160 When you and the lord partner up something unique is expressed what is that 113 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:19.040 And don't say well, I don't know just out of your heart don't over don't let your mind lead the conversation 114 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.800 Just straight out of your spirit from your inner being just write what comes to you 115 00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:25.440 If you already know pretty cool 116 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.720 So it's not just your unique ability. It's your yoke ability your you and jesus together. What happens? 117 00:08:30.880 --> 00:08:34.159 He has abilities you have abilities, but when you're together, what happens? 118 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.600 There's an ability there 119 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.200 That is straight out of heaven that you were designed and purposed for he fashioned and shaped you 120 00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:46.240 Right down to jeremiah 29 11. I know 121 00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:51.200 The intentions the kind intentions I have towards you. I know some bibles translate as plans 122 00:08:51.280 --> 00:08:53.760 It's sort of an odd english word for that 123 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:59.680 But it literally means these kind intentions to bless you prosper give you hope and a future. So what is that? 124 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.640 Got that am I going too fast slow down? How are we doing? We're good 125 00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:08.480 All right. Next question then is um 126 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.920 Right now what is it you want for your life 127 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.200 Just what do you want? 128 00:09:17.280 --> 00:09:19.600 Simple question. What do you want? 129 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.720 Now when I say that 130 00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:25.760 don't 131 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.840 Don't 132 00:09:28.400 --> 00:09:29.440 Don't say well 133 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.880 Don't generalize it like oh, I just want his will and I just want what's best for the universe 134 00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:39.840 And I want peace for all mankind. Okay, we get that. That's lovely. What do you want? 135 00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:44.480 What burns in you what grips you what's his man? I want this 136 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.600 If it's got multiple elements write the multiple elements, what is it you want? 137 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:57.680 Okay, so if jesus arrived physically in person right now in where in the room you're sitting in and he says to you 138 00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:01.920 I just want his will and I just want what's best for the universe 139 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.640 just gave you in full the desires of your heart. 140 00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:05.040 What is it you want? 141 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.160 What did he just give you? 142 00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:07.760 What do you want? 143 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.480 What do you want? 144 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.480 What do you want? 145 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.480 What do you want? 146 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.480 What do you want? 147 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.600 If God gave you the desires of your heart, what did he just give you? 148 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:28.280 And I'm not just talking about he put his desires in you, 149 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.560 but if those desires were fulfilled, if he gave you what you wanted, 150 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.200 what would he just have given you? Okay. How are we doing? 151 00:10:37.280 --> 00:10:41.720 Still need time? Just indicate to me if you're good. 152 00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:45.080 If you need time, we can take, we don't have to rush through this. 153 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.400 This is the main thing I really want to get across. 154 00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:48.240 Okay. 155 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.320 And then 156 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.280 let's go to, okay, 157 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.840 if you had clarity and courage and a 158 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.240 powerful conviction about what you're doing and you had 159 00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:09.480 all the resources you need, so you had clarity, 160 00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:11.200 you know what it's about. You had the courage, 161 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.480 you had the conviction and all the resource you need. 162 00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:14.680 What would you do next? 163 00:11:18.400 --> 00:11:19.840 What would you do next? 164 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.680 And it's okay to say, I'll be doing exactly what I'm doing now. 165 00:11:27.040 --> 00:11:29.400 That's fine. If that's what it is. 166 00:11:35.280 --> 00:11:39.880 So what we're attempting to do here is to 167 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:45.400 start you in a very provocative conversation 168 00:11:45.640 --> 00:11:48.960 with your yoke partner, with Jesus. Lord, 169 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.920 one of the questions I love most when we launched the ambassador program, 170 00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:57.120 when we were telling people how to think about this, 171 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.520 because we knew that when you offer somebody an opportunity or a business 172 00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:04.400 thing, the first thing they're going to think of is all the downstairs 173 00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:07.600 practicalities. Can I have time? Am I going to do this? How much money can I make? 174 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.720 How many people will I impact? And those are all good things, 175 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.640 but we wanted to immediately make it a relational engagement moment, 176 00:12:13.640 --> 00:12:17.640 a direct learning moment. So we gave them this question, ask the father, 177 00:12:18.560 --> 00:12:23.320 what is your dream for my impact? Father, 178 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.520 what is your dream for my impact? 179 00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:32.120 And what that, what that unlocks in people is it, 180 00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:35.560 it takes them away from looking to their past. 181 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.000 So I want to steal an idea from Dan Sullivan for a minute. 182 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.760 When he talks about two X and 10 X, when he's talking about two X, 183 00:12:43.760 --> 00:12:46.360 he says the reason why, and we've talked a bit about this, 184 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.840 but just do a super fast recap that when you're thinking two X, 185 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:52.200 you're consulting your past. 186 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.720 You're negotiating with your past for your future. 187 00:12:56.160 --> 00:12:58.160 So you're going to your past and saying, well, 188 00:12:58.280 --> 00:13:02.360 it took a hundred units of effort to get to this. And so if we're going to do two X, 189 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:03.680 it's going to take 200 units. 190 00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:07.240 And I'm just discouraged now because I have no idea I'm going to double my 191 00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:08.120 effort, right? 192 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:13.280 Because what two X does is it looks to your past and it tries to extrapolate who 193 00:13:13.280 --> 00:13:17.280 you've been until now as to who you're going to be in the future. 194 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.360 But the kingdom doesn't work this way because you're in a yoke with the, 195 00:13:21.400 --> 00:13:25.640 with three geniuses of the universe, father, son, and Holy spirit. 196 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.520 What 10 X does is it says, well, if we're going to 10 X, 197 00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:32.800 we've got to go from a hundred units to a thousand units of effort. 198 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:34.920 And if efficacy and impact, 199 00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:38.040 I can't look to the past cause we've never done that before. 200 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:42.360 So we have to refresh new thinking. That's what we're doing today. 201 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:47.560 I want to start you off on a new way of thinking with the Lord. 202 00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:50.880 So 10 X growth happens though, 203 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:56.000 when you eliminate 80% that only delivers incremental results. 204 00:13:58.280 --> 00:14:03.280 So that means you have to figure out what's the 20% where the multiplication 205 00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:09.280 exists because that 20% is also where your, 206 00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:14.560 your unique ability, your yoke ability lies in that 20%. 207 00:14:16.040 --> 00:14:20.200 So that kind of transformation shifts our thinking for with the Lord. 208 00:14:20.640 --> 00:14:22.480 So I've been going through this for about a year. 209 00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:26.040 And when I started this conversation with the Lord, 210 00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:30.680 I was a bit unsure about it. And all that happened, I saw a title. 211 00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:33.240 That's all I saw. It was some YouTube title or something. 212 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.320 It's probably Dan Sullivan's book or whatever. 213 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.360 And I just saw 10 X is easier than two X. That's all I saw. 214 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.440 I didn't read the book or watch anything at that time. And I said, 215 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.600 but the Lord just grabbed that thing. You know how he does. And he's, Oh, 216 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.960 this is important. Pay attention. So he grabbed, he gripped my heart. 217 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.080 You know, you know, our stuff sometimes just jumps up and bites you in the heart. 218 00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:57.560 Yeah. Well that one did that for me. Just bit me so hard. And I said, Lord, 219 00:14:58.400 --> 00:14:59.960 I've been doing so much two X. 220 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.480 stuff we're trying to you know get teams moving we're moving at a good pace but it doesn't feel 221 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:13.280 like this is an expression of what you've called me to this doesn't feel like a yoke thing this 222 00:15:13.280 --> 00:15:21.280 just feels like permission upstairs and doing pretty well downstairs stuff and and and you know 223 00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:26.720 oh i get that i get that but it wasn't enough i mean how many of you right now as you're listening 224 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.840 to this just it just wakes you up when i say what you've got isn't enough for you anybody you want 225 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.120 to raise your hands and let me know okay so i'm talking to three or four you that's fantastic 226 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.200 well we'll have fun on this together i know for most of us in the kingdom there's not enough 227 00:15:42.160 --> 00:15:47.840 we want so much more but we don't want to be you know we want to do it in his will we don't want 228 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:52.160 to get into believerism we don't want to get into presumption and all these other little things we 229 00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:56.800 think are holding us up but actually none of i wanted to swipe that away and i want to say this 230 00:15:56.800 --> 00:16:03.200 transformation is going to require three c's it's going to require courage clarity and conviction 231 00:16:03.760 --> 00:16:11.440 courage to let go of what no longer belongs to you this is like super hard to do this is really 232 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:18.560 hard to do because the 2x stuff in us brought us to this place but what brought you here is not 233 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:25.920 going to take you to your 10x level in jesus not at all so you can't look to your past and who 234 00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:31.600 you've been in your past and what got you here you have to have a whole new way of thinking secondly 235 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:38.960 clarity clarity about your unique ability in jesus your yoke ability can i keep calling it 236 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:46.720 yoke ability you know what i mean by now with that word so that that's the one thing that so 237 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:53.520 encapsulates your life and your purpose and inspires you and when you do it you go i feel 238 00:16:53.520 --> 00:17:00.480 so alive when i do this i'm so like everything everything in me feels like i was born to do this 239 00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:06.000 that's the ability i'm talking about the thing that fires you up and drives you forward 240 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:13.520 and then the third thing is conviction to the conviction to pursue what god is placed in your 241 00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:21.599 life without needing to justify to anyone okay let's talk about those things quick so 242 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:28.079 here's just what we've been learning as a team uh and you know if a lot of people have shared the 243 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:34.720 whole partnership with you know the higdon group and some of the things we're doing glenn joining 244 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:39.360 us and some of the things are all those kind of what i feel like 10x movements i'm just going to 245 00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:44.800 be pretty transparent and just tell you how i got there and i hope that's helpful to you as you 246 00:17:44.800 --> 00:17:50.720 process this with the lord honestly i feel like if you could take some time and go and work on 247 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:57.680 the go and talk to the lord about this because i think this is the thing that 10x is your and by 248 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:03.200 the way when i say 10x i don't mean within 12 months or some sort of time frame i'm just that 249 00:18:03.520 --> 00:18:09.760 you're heading there because 10x requires subtraction to get to multiplication sounds 250 00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:15.440 contradictory but it's true 10x requires a subtraction of the things you're doing not more 251 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:22.480 stuff not working harder so we have to subtract so how much do we have to subtract well it turns 252 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:31.600 out about 80 so here's the question what's the 80 i need to let go of so the 20 can consume 253 00:18:31.600 --> 00:18:37.360 my heart and mind you know in other words what am i like really in the habit of doing 254 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:45.120 you know what's my history here whatever it is and and so the key borrowing from dan on this 255 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:54.240 the key here is it's about who first then what who can take this off my plate 256 00:18:54.800 --> 00:19:03.920 who there 80 of what you do can be taken off by some by somebody else right you can hand off 80 257 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:09.760 of what you do so that's the subtraction piece now obviously we're not saying do do this in two 258 00:19:09.760 --> 00:19:16.800 days but you have to start the process of the subtraction so that you can access the multiplication 259 00:19:16.800 --> 00:19:28.240 multiplication not not a downstairs intuitive thought right so let's talk for a second then 260 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.840 so that was point number one what's the 80 i need to let go point number two 261 00:19:32.800 --> 00:19:41.120 focusing on the 20 so now we focus on the what so if who can deal with the 80 the what deals with 262 00:19:41.120 --> 00:19:46.480 the 20 and here's what are we talking about what deserves your attention 263 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.600 father what deserves our yoke attention 264 00:19:54.320 --> 00:19:59.920 jesus what deserves what's your standard for what requires my attention 265 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.520 Because if I say what's my standard, I probably set it way too low and give too much stuff 266 00:20:06.520 --> 00:20:08.760 my attention, right? 267 00:20:08.760 --> 00:20:16.800 But Father, what is your standard for our yoke of what requires our yoke attention? 268 00:20:16.800 --> 00:20:22.400 What do you want us to focus on together? 269 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:27.840 So the Who helps us get rid of the 80% over time. 270 00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:34.160 More and more Whos, we hand stuff off, and then we move more and more to the What. 271 00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.680 What requires my attention? 272 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:41.960 Okay, so personal story here for a minute. 273 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:46.840 So about a couple of years ago, and throughout my life, I've always had this thing about 274 00:20:46.840 --> 00:20:51.520 leadership and about the kingdom, but I never knew how to connect the two. 275 00:20:51.520 --> 00:20:54.680 Then about five or six years ago, it started to become really connection. 276 00:20:54.680 --> 00:21:00.480 Because everything I heard, when I heard the word kingdom leadership, all I heard was 277 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.560 Christians in business, and it was all about principle. 278 00:21:04.560 --> 00:21:09.820 And in my view, principle is a downstairs expression of an upstairs relational reality. 279 00:21:09.820 --> 00:21:15.340 And the reason why principles work is because you can do principle without relationship. 280 00:21:15.340 --> 00:21:19.280 You can follow the principles of Scripture and not know the Lord from Adam. 281 00:21:19.280 --> 00:21:20.280 And they'll work for you. 282 00:21:20.280 --> 00:21:21.280 It's like gravity. 283 00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:23.540 They're like the laws of heaven. 284 00:21:23.540 --> 00:21:26.140 They work for everyone, and it's God's kindness to all. 285 00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:30.220 And so I'm not against people teaching principle, but I felt it was a very small thing. 286 00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:34.020 Every time I hear, oh, these are the core principles of the kingdom, I always hear small 287 00:21:34.020 --> 00:21:37.860 in my head, because it feels like there's no yoke piece to this. 288 00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:39.580 What's the kingdom advantage? 289 00:21:39.580 --> 00:21:41.420 Where's the relational engagement? 290 00:21:41.420 --> 00:21:43.380 Where's the direct learning? 291 00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:46.460 Where's stepping into the things the Father has set before us? 292 00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:47.660 Where's that? 293 00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:52.540 And I could never find that, even though we ran a leadership company at the time. 294 00:21:52.540 --> 00:21:57.300 So my own journey was this, Lord, what requires my attention? 295 00:21:57.300 --> 00:22:02.660 And then the Lord said, kingdom leadership requires your attention. 296 00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:03.900 That's what requires our attention. 297 00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:06.100 I said, well, what does that mean? 298 00:22:06.100 --> 00:22:07.840 Now that's a good question to start. 299 00:22:07.840 --> 00:22:10.580 What does that mean for us, Lord? 300 00:22:10.580 --> 00:22:16.900 And the Lord said, I, sorry, just got a little overwhelmed for a minute. 301 00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:21.940 The Lord said, I want to change the way churches are run. 302 00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:24.340 I want to change the way businesses are run. 303 00:22:24.340 --> 00:22:27.740 And I want to change the way families are run. 304 00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:30.500 That's going to require kingdom leadership. 305 00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:35.140 And I said, okay, that's a big, that's a lot. 306 00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:39.540 And so if you look at the, for those of you on the Berlin School of Leadership, and this 307 00:22:39.540 --> 00:22:43.860 year we offer our electives for the first time, look what the electives all are. 308 00:22:43.860 --> 00:22:46.100 Those are the electives. 309 00:22:46.100 --> 00:22:49.100 They're addressing those core issues. 310 00:22:49.100 --> 00:22:54.740 So the question I said to the Lord is, okay, I want to focus everything on the 20%. 311 00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:56.540 Help me get there. 312 00:22:56.540 --> 00:23:03.460 And the Lord isn't saying, he's not doing this as an exercise to measure you and judge 313 00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:04.740 you by. 314 00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:10.180 He's doing this as an exercise to invite you into his heart for you. 315 00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:15.420 He's inviting you into his space, into his life. 316 00:23:15.540 --> 00:23:19.980 And he's constantly trying to get God to connect into their lives. 317 00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:22.420 This is how you get God, invite God into your life. 318 00:23:22.420 --> 00:23:24.900 You should just involve God in your life. 319 00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:27.740 And he's zero interested in that plan. 320 00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:32.420 He's interested in inviting you into his life in the kingdom, which is massive and full 321 00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:35.540 of life and full of authority. 322 00:23:35.540 --> 00:23:37.180 And it shifts the world. 323 00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:38.340 First it shifts your world. 324 00:23:38.340 --> 00:23:41.060 It activates the kingdom in you. 325 00:23:41.060 --> 00:23:44.740 Then it activates the kingdom in others. 326 00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:49.500 And when we get into this, the immediate pushback is it isn't practical. 327 00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:51.660 Well, you know, we have to pay the bills. 328 00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:55.020 It's like God doesn't know about that. 329 00:23:55.020 --> 00:23:56.020 It's really hilarious. 330 00:23:56.020 --> 00:24:01.980 Okay, number three, am I living from want or need? 331 00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:05.020 I'm going to borrow from Dan on this little illustration because I think it's a really 332 00:24:05.020 --> 00:24:06.020 good one. 333 00:24:06.020 --> 00:24:09.500 But before I do, let's just put it into our framework. 334 00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:12.300 See need is a downstairs thing. 335 00:24:12.300 --> 00:24:14.060 I need this. 336 00:24:14.100 --> 00:24:15.300 I need to pay the bills. 337 00:24:15.300 --> 00:24:17.020 I need to do payroll. 338 00:24:17.020 --> 00:24:18.500 I need to I need this. 339 00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:22.540 I need a you know, I need an EA, which I do, by the way. 340 00:24:22.540 --> 00:24:23.740 And so do you, Ben. 341 00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:25.420 And so does Jenny. 342 00:24:25.420 --> 00:24:26.780 I need this. I need this. 343 00:24:26.780 --> 00:24:32.060 I need. And that's why I asked you to start with your needs, because need starts in a 344 00:24:32.060 --> 00:24:33.900 place of scarcity. 345 00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:39.980 People who are need focused think of all resources as a single pie. 346 00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:46.340 And then if you if you want more, if you want more than you need, then you must be 347 00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:48.460 taking it from somewhere else. 348 00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:50.020 Somebody else is going to suffer. 349 00:24:50.020 --> 00:24:54.020 Oh, well, you're just a CEO and you got rich on the backs of all your employees. 350 00:24:54.020 --> 00:24:57.180 I'm sure that's been said to you once at least in your life. 351 00:24:57.180 --> 00:24:57.540 Right. 352 00:24:58.900 --> 00:25:00.020 OK, but none of that. 353 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.360 That's true, that comes from a scarcity driven by needs mindset that says there's a limited 354 00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:14.180 supply and if you want more than you need, you're out of line, which is by the way the 355 00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:17.040 foundation of socialism. 356 00:25:17.040 --> 00:25:22.120 It's based on the idea that there's this one pie which magically appears, no one ever talks 357 00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:29.320 about how it actually got there, it magically appears and now it's best to let some authority 358 00:25:29.320 --> 00:25:32.760 govern who gets what. 359 00:25:32.760 --> 00:25:38.200 So that is the foundational idea, the kingdom deeply rejects this idea because the kingdom 360 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.480 starts with an upstairs abundance. 361 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:48.640 There's literally nothing that you cannot have in God. 362 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:55.960 So your yoke with Jesus wants something, I asked you earlier what do you want? 363 00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:01.720 Now when I say that, most of us feel that when we answer that question we have to justify 364 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.720 it. 365 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:07.880 Because if I said to you why do you want that and then you tell me and I'll say but why 366 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:09.800 do you need that? 367 00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:11.760 How many of you had that question asked? 368 00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:13.240 Why do you need that? 369 00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:16.200 I don't need it, I want it. 370 00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:19.600 I don't need justification for what I want. 371 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:26.560 But when that one is born in God's heart then instead of justification all I need is permission. 372 00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:31.140 So we say it brilliant, upstairs permission leads to downstairs bold action. 373 00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:34.860 So what is it you want in God? 374 00:26:34.860 --> 00:26:36.840 What is it you want more than anything else? 375 00:26:36.840 --> 00:26:40.640 And if he arrived in the room and he said I just gave you all of that, what did he just 376 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:42.140 give you? 377 00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:48.140 So I don't live from justifying why do you want that house? 378 00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:50.060 Why do you want that ministry? 379 00:26:50.060 --> 00:26:51.060 Why do you want this? 380 00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:54.540 What do you need that for? 381 00:26:54.540 --> 00:27:01.900 And that need question what do you need that for and justification comes from the scarcity 382 00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:05.620 downstairs worldly mindset. 383 00:27:05.620 --> 00:27:08.260 Because Jesus' answer is all things are possible. 384 00:27:08.260 --> 00:27:10.540 Let me introduce you to the Father. 385 00:27:10.540 --> 00:27:11.540 All things are possible. 386 00:27:11.540 --> 00:27:15.980 The genius Holy Spirit who created the universe wrote the word of God's counseling the entire 387 00:27:15.980 --> 00:27:19.380 church bringing everyone to wholeness and fullness. 388 00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:22.380 He's in on this what is it you need? 389 00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:23.380 Where are we going? 390 00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:25.980 I know I'll take care of your needs according to my riches and glory. 391 00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:27.780 Yeah, yeah, consider that done. 392 00:27:27.780 --> 00:27:31.180 The downstairs bits, you know, yes payroll, get that. 393 00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:33.000 I know what you need. 394 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.200 And Jesus said your Father knows what you need before you even ask Him. 395 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.660 So clearly need wasn't like the key driver. 396 00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:41.660 He's like, man, yeah, consider that. 397 00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:42.660 You can take that for granted. 398 00:27:42.660 --> 00:27:46.100 You know, as Graham says, when God grants you something, He expects you to take Him 399 00:27:46.100 --> 00:27:47.540 for granted. 400 00:27:47.540 --> 00:27:52.140 So all this, oh, don't be in presumption, brothers, all downstairs scarcity mindset 401 00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:55.540 designed to lock you into a small space. 402 00:27:55.540 --> 00:28:04.060 What is what will unleash the kingdom is leaders who become fiercely courageous about their 403 00:28:04.060 --> 00:28:09.660 20 percent, about I want this. 404 00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:11.300 God places that want. 405 00:28:11.300 --> 00:28:16.780 God puts His desires in your heart so that He can partner with you in them so that He 406 00:28:16.780 --> 00:28:23.580 can bring all of heaven's resources to connect with you in that. 407 00:28:23.580 --> 00:28:24.580 That's a whole different. 408 00:28:24.580 --> 00:28:27.540 So God is not trying to talk you out of your wants. 409 00:28:27.540 --> 00:28:31.240 He's trying to talk you into His want. 410 00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:36.720 He's talking you out of your need focus into His desire that He's placed in your heart 411 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.640 because He wants to ignite those wants together with you. 412 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:42.980 So now you can ask the question. 413 00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:44.160 So Father, what do we want? 414 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.000 Jesus, what are we wanting here? 415 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:51.600 And a lot of times when I ask the Lord that question, He goes, what do you want? 416 00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:53.360 He wants it to be a relationship. 417 00:28:53.360 --> 00:28:55.400 You're not a servant. 418 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:56.480 You're a friend. 419 00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:58.680 This doesn't work in servant mode. 420 00:28:58.840 --> 00:29:02.280 I just talked about you cannot access your yoke in servant mode. 421 00:29:02.280 --> 00:29:04.760 It's not possible. 422 00:29:04.760 --> 00:29:08.960 And that's why I think a vast amount of believers focus on being a servant. 423 00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:10.320 And obedience is the number one thing. 424 00:29:10.320 --> 00:29:11.320 Of course we're obedient. 425 00:29:11.320 --> 00:29:12.880 If the Lord said something, why wouldn't I be? 426 00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:13.880 I love my Father. 427 00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:14.880 I love Jesus. 428 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:15.880 I love the Holy Spirit. 429 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:17.040 Of course we're going to partner and do it. 430 00:29:17.040 --> 00:29:19.800 But it's such an elementary thing. 431 00:29:19.800 --> 00:29:22.080 Because children focus on obedience. 432 00:29:22.080 --> 00:29:26.440 Sons and daughters focus on identity and authority. 433 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.080 What are we doing here? 434 00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:32.360 When you're sitting with the Father and you're looking over the estate, you know, like in 435 00:29:32.360 --> 00:29:37.280 Downton Abbey, you're sitting over the estate and you say, hmm, shall we build a market 436 00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:38.280 over there? 437 00:29:38.280 --> 00:29:39.280 Yes, let's build a market over there. 438 00:29:39.280 --> 00:29:43.000 And we could open up all those houses and we can do this for the community and we can 439 00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:44.000 build that. 440 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:45.120 And what if we did this? 441 00:29:45.120 --> 00:29:47.080 But you wouldn't speak about that to a five-year-old. 442 00:29:47.080 --> 00:29:50.160 You'd say, go and clean your room and be obedient. 443 00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:53.640 And the church got stuck there somehow in the obedience mode. 444 00:29:53.760 --> 00:29:58.280 Because that keeps you in the eternal babyhood of the believer. 445 00:29:58.280 --> 00:29:59.600 Well, you know, obedience is important. 446 00:29:59.600 --> 00:30:00.020 Of course. 447 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.400 Jesus learned obedience. We all learn obedience. Obedience is included. It's obvious. Yes, 448 00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:11.780 of course, it's included, but that's not the big thing. Sorry, a little passionate there 449 00:30:11.780 --> 00:30:18.220 for a moment. Okay, backing down a moment. So number four is what is your core ability? 450 00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:22.820 What is your yoke ability? What is your unique ability that God fashioned and formed you? 451 00:30:22.820 --> 00:30:27.720 Let's get into that and then we'll wrap this. Now, if you think when I asked you, do you 452 00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:34.720 have abilities? How many of you put down multiple answers to that? Three, four, five, six, two. 453 00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:40.640 Okay, some people. Okay. So when you put on multiple answers, it means if you put on 10, 454 00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:45.120 probably seven of them could be done by someone else. You're just learning because you haven't 455 00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:49.680 got rid of the 80% yet. But if you got it down to one or two things, you're definitely 456 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:56.360 honing in and the Lord's. It's only caring about what God thinks about the thing you 457 00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:02.120 love most. One of the biggest freedom moments for me in the last two years was when the 458 00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:07.160 Lord said to me, you do not have to have an opinion on what everyone else is doing. You 459 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:12.000 only have to have my opinion on what you're doing. So people come to you. What do you 460 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.040 think of this ministry? Bless them. I don't know. Even if I do know, you know, people 461 00:31:17.040 --> 00:31:20.480 pitch me all the time because they know I've been connected to various ministries or various 462 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.400 things. What do you think of this? And what do you think so and so's theology? I'm sure 463 00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.920 that's between them and the Lord. But I do know what the Lord thinks about theology. 464 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:33.280 You want to hear about that? So it's so free. Marcus Aurelius once said, exercise your right 465 00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:40.280 to have no opinion over the things of which you have no control. Isn't that the most kingdom 466 00:31:40.280 --> 00:31:46.880 mindset thing right away? Why are believers where we're not in our core ability because 467 00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:52.120 we're all on social media shouting and mouthing off about stuff we have absolutely no control 468 00:31:52.120 --> 00:31:57.960 over? Now, if God's called you to that and that's your thing and God's... So I ask people 469 00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:02.000 this all the time. You're interested in this thing and that thing and this thing and you 470 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:05.760 think, oh, well, I just want to be informed. I've just got a broad group of interest. You 471 00:32:05.760 --> 00:32:11.560 know, I have abilities. No, that's the very 80% nonsense that's keeping you away from 472 00:32:11.560 --> 00:32:16.960 your 20% core ability because you're not in on the game. You're not committing to that. 473 00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:23.600 What you're doing is diluted it to this broad. Now I know everything about nothing. You know, 474 00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:30.480 you know, but now you need to get to know more and more about less and less. And ask 475 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.040 the Lord, what do you... I'm not saying you shouldn't, you know, watch the news and stay 476 00:32:34.040 --> 00:32:38.480 informed, but don't get fixated on it. Don't get engaged. You know what I'm talking about, 477 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:44.640 all the news junkies out there. You know what I'm saying? Get free from that. It's a trap. 478 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:52.480 It's bondage designed to keep you in mediocrity. It really is. So abandon opinions on all other 479 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:59.200 fights and focus on your fight, your one thing, your unique ability, that one thing. For me, 480 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.520 that's kingdom leadership. That's what I care about. I want to see it established in the 481 00:33:02.520 --> 00:33:06.520 people around me. I want to see, you know, Bridget and I are very focused on this and 482 00:33:06.520 --> 00:33:10.880 how this works in a marriage, in a family, in raising kids. We're super focused on how 483 00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.680 the church is governed. That's why we run a whole church governance course. And every 484 00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:19.280 single person who listens to that church governance course says, I've never heard this before. 485 00:33:19.280 --> 00:33:26.760 People with two PhDs in theology told me that. Just saying, there's a kingdom way that so 486 00:33:26.760 --> 00:33:34.040 grips you and all you care about is the transformation of the bride. Because Jesus has an extraordinarily 487 00:33:34.040 --> 00:33:39.320 high opinion of His bride and He's asking us to have the same. But we spend all the 488 00:33:39.320 --> 00:33:45.080 time telling her who she's not and He's not in on that plan. I tell you right away, God 489 00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:49.200 is not in the plan telling the bride who she's not and the church what she's not. And we've 490 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:54.740 all done that. I'll speak about myself here. So the Lord said, I want you to come in agreement 491 00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:59.320 with what I am raising a beautiful bride. Would you attend to her? Would you tell her 492 00:33:59.320 --> 00:34:04.640 she's beautiful? Will you tell her she's loved, that she's fully accepted, that I'm with her, 493 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:08.440 that I'll never leave her, nor forsake her? Why are we doing all this church hurt and 494 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:12.960 all this stuff? Yes, I get that there's bad governance out there, but I also get there's 495 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:17.560 good governance. There are people who are really good at church governance and they 496 00:34:17.560 --> 00:34:24.560 bring so much life to so many people. So it's going to take courage, guys, clarity and conviction. 497 00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:28.480 Now I want to give you a practical thing as we go through it. You know how we always do 498 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:35.480 the four square thing, right? So think about your impact versus effort, right? So let's 499 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:43.719 draw four squares with impact and effort. And you know the thing that for you, it's 500 00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:49.960 such a joy to you and it's also high impact. That's obviously your quadrant one thing. 501 00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:56.960 The thing that's low joy to you and takes tremendous effort is obviously a four. So 502 00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:59.920 I ask the Lord, give me, give me, how do you see 503 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.000 What will help this group of so-called CEOs step into that space with you? 504 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:11.000 And the Lord said, a lot of leaders are like a hot air balloon. 505 00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:15.000 But they've got these strings or these ropes are tied. 506 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:21.000 So they fire up, they crank the heat, get excited, get focused. 507 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:24.000 The balloon starts to rise and then it stops. Why? 508 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:27.000 It's still got the ropes tied. 509 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.000 And so that's where we get stuck. 510 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:33.000 And so what are the ropes? The ropes are quadrant two, three and four. 511 00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:36.000 The 80 percent, the stuff you need to be getting rid of. 512 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:43.000 Cutting those ropes is you getting rid of the stuff that isn't core to what you do. 513 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.000 That other people can do. 514 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.000 To free you up to do less. 515 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:55.000 So as we subtract the ropes, we hit the multiplication in height. 516 00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:57.000 I love that. 517 00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.000 So this may help you identify your core ability. 518 00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:08.000 If it does not feel like you're being exposed in a way like, wow, OK, I'm out there now. 519 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:11.000 Then, you know, it's not your core ability. 520 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:15.000 I mean, when we stepped out in this new program, right. 521 00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.000 Right. When we stepped out in this new program, it felt exposing. 522 00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.000 Right. Oh, you're peddling the word of God. 523 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:28.000 You know, all the stuff, all the religious scarcity, need based stuff started to flush. 524 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:33.000 And that's OK. That's part of bringing healing to some of those people. 525 00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:35.000 And so the question is what. So that's a good question. 526 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:40.000 What would thrill me and expose me at the same time? That's a great question. 527 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:43.000 What would thrill me? What would thrill you right now? 528 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.000 That you would feel like, oh, my goodness, how good is my life? 529 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:49.000 And at the same time feel really exposed. 530 00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:55.000 Secondly, what if what if your life feels more what feels like play to you is power to others? 531 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.000 What feels like play to you is power to others. 532 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:06.000 And finally, what's the thing that makes me feel most alive when I do it? 533 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:14.000 There's so much grace flowing through me that I leave energized with more energy after the thing than before the thing. 534 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:20.000 Look, guilt, guilt about this, about being successful and growing and having an impact. 535 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.000 Guilt is the story you tell yourself about what you deserve. 536 00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:31.000 Living as a new creation is about living a life that he deserves and paid for you to have. 537 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.000 So your unique ability is not about what you do. 538 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:43.000 It's about how you do what you do in the unique way you do it. 539 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.000 So let's go back to the four questions. 540 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.000 Would you change your answers now? 541 00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.000 What are the three things you need right now? 542 00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.000 Yep, put them in there, but Lord, you know I need them. 543 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.000 Take him off the stress table. No need for stress there. 544 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:04.000 What is your core ability? Lord, what's that yoke ability that we have together? 545 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:08.000 And what is it you want more than anything in this world? 546 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:13.000 That if God gave it to you, you'd know that you received it. 547 00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:21.000 And then, if you have that clarity and courage and conviction, and you already have all the resources of heaven, what would you do next?
