WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.060 Oh, good morning, good morning, good morning. It is so good to see you guys again. Friendly 2 00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:13.380 faces who I love dearly. And I'm super excited. Diana has made her apologies this morning. 3 00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:17.780 She actually has a hospital appointment this morning. So she's going to go to her appointment 4 00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:23.140 and then because she's in Canada, so they're obviously it's not 7am for them. And so she's 5 00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:27.020 going to go do that and then watch the replay. And hopefully the rest of the crew will join 6 00:00:27.020 --> 00:00:31.600 us. We've got about three or four people that joined between our session yesterday 7 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:38.060 and today. Couple of them are in the UK and they came on at 6am instead of 7am. So we'll 8 00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:43.840 just see timings might not quite work. However, they'll have the replay. So that'll be great 9 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.260 for the replay team. So welcome, welcome, welcome this morning. Good to see you back. 10 00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:53.820 Tell me, tell me, tell me because I you know, I always want to know, like what question 11 00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:58.620 did you ask God? And because that's kind of what we said we might go away and do last 12 00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:03.500 night. And what question did you ask him? What answers did you get? Or what revelation 13 00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:07.580 have you had about the training that we did yesterday? So if anybody wants to share, that 14 00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:13.300 would be a lovely way to start this morning. See how you're off mute. Have you got anything 15 00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:18.300 you want to share? 16 00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:22.700 I don't know. I think I'm at crossroads. So I don't know. I'm asking lots of questions 17 00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:27.340 these days. And no, I don't have I don't have answers. 18 00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:33.340 Not yet. Not yet. I love the fact that sometimes God, God is, you know, he's lovely. He's for 19 00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:38.660 me. He's never a no. It's like sometimes he is. Sometimes it's a no. Sometimes it's often 20 00:01:38.660 --> 00:01:44.020 it's a not now. And sometimes it's a green button. If it's a you know, it's like, yeah, 21 00:01:44.020 --> 00:01:46.900 go ahead. Off you go and do it. And often I get the green buttons because I need to 22 00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:50.180 do it yesterday. So that's good. 23 00:01:50.180 --> 00:02:00.340 I think also Sally, I believe. For that point that you mentioned, there is there is a wisdom 24 00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:08.180 behind everything that happens. So I think he chooses the right timing and. We have to 25 00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:17.220 have patience until the right timing comes. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So when I don't know, 26 00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:23.700 I really don't panic. Yeah, I remember the saying that says if you're not sure, do nothing. 27 00:02:25.940 --> 00:02:33.620 So I'm not sure. So, you know, I just keep on asking and trying, trying different things. 28 00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:39.380 And I don't know what is interesting. You've had a saying, you know, if you're not sure, 29 00:02:39.380 --> 00:02:44.340 do nothing. I have a saying that I was brought up with, if in doubt, kick on. So that's a 30 00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:49.380 horse thing. But, you know, if you've got my doing now, you've got to you know, the only way 31 00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:55.940 out is through. And God can only steer a moving ship, as it were. You know, you can't you can't 32 00:02:55.940 --> 00:03:01.300 steer something that's not moving. So it's good that you're still moving. You're still like, 33 00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:07.140 oh, do I go this way? Then he can redirect us. But if we do nothing, he can't redirect us. 34 00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:13.140 Oh, no, no. You know, I didn't mean that. No, I didn't mean standing still. I always 35 00:03:13.140 --> 00:03:18.740 actually tell my students in class that, yeah, we have to keep on or else we're going to lose 36 00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:24.980 miss the train. The train is going to leave us to walk there and we will be standing there. 37 00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:28.500 No, we have to keep on moving. Yeah, we have to keep on moving. Yeah. 38 00:03:29.540 --> 00:03:34.340 Right. I love that. Morning, Angela. Good to see you this morning. I love the way that Angela, 39 00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:38.100 you can tell she's in New Zealand. She's got like a hat on and a gloves on and she's keeping 40 00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:42.820 herself lovely and cozy and warm. I cheated this morning and put my heater on in my office 41 00:03:42.820 --> 00:03:48.500 on the timer before I came in so that I didn't have to have twenty six layers on at seven a.m. 42 00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:54.020 I love it. OK, anything does anybody want to share anything? I know, Gina, you were great. 43 00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:59.540 You put some stuff in the chat yesterday, which was great to see that. Thank you for sharing with 44 00:03:59.540 --> 00:04:04.580 others. And I encourage all of you just to get in that chat, share what share what's been good 45 00:04:04.580 --> 00:04:09.060 for you, share what's been a challenge, whatever it might be. This is our space to be safe with 46 00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:14.980 each other and to build relationships. So, you know, do the more that you put in, the more you 47 00:04:14.980 --> 00:04:19.380 get out. It's weird because it's not about getting out. But actually, the more you put in, the more 48 00:04:19.380 --> 00:04:25.060 you get out. And it's I love that kind of concept. OK, anybody have anything else they want to share 49 00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:32.260 before? Amy, go for it. My lovely. I was just reflecting yesterday afternoon while I had an 50 00:04:32.260 --> 00:04:41.860 afternoon to myself because I had no child. But it was quite interesting how and I was just like, 51 00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:48.580 well, God just places things into being at the time that you need them. It was like 52 00:04:49.380 --> 00:04:54.980 Audrey's outing with her friend yesterday was in no way planned. Her grandmother rang up and said, 53 00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:59.460 can I take Audrey to the pools for the afternoon? She's like, I don't know where we're going. I 54 00:04:59.460 --> 00:05:00.020 don't know what. 55 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.000 we'll be back and I'm like yep that's cool and she was out from about half past twelve to half past 56 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.920 six with her best friend from school and I think it's just something she really needed at that time. 57 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.200 Yeah so it's been cool seeing those things placed when you need them. 58 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.280 Yeah that's the best thing I can do. That's my little... 59 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.960 On your reaction buttons for those of you who've done your update on Zoom 60 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:30.720 if you go to your reactions you've got your normal ones at the bottom but now we can do 61 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:38.880 things like here look send balloons.

84 00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:08.640 I'm going so it was very very exciting to get the visions to get the words to get the scriptures 85 00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:15.520 so yeah yay right I'm just gonna mute you for now well done see how right I'm gonna share the 86 00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:22.720 screen and let's get on with it today oh that's not the screen I want that's rude okay so what 87 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:29.200 shoes are you wearing now this came from as uh as did the three questions to god yesterday they came 88 00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:35.520 from Jan Billings so if you've enjoyed your three questions that we did yesterday and you enjoy the 89 00:08:35.520 --> 00:08:43.039 shoes that you wear she does the most incredible course called kingdom teachers oh um yeah kingdom 90 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:49.520 tea kingdom adventures for teachers sorry couldn't get my words out then um and that I went on that 91 00:08:49.520 --> 00:08:55.440 course and it is absolutely stunning so it just helps you it is for teachers and schools but these 92 00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:00.960 were a couple of things that I could use for you guys so Jan Billings is the gorgeous lady who has 93 00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:07.840 honored me with this training and she actually did it at conference so I want you to ask god what 94 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:14.000 what season you are in by asking this question show me now you'll be able to draw it I can't 95 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:19.360 draw it on here so I'm going to find a piece of paper um and a pin um but because you can't 96 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:24.160 unfortunately do drawings we can type it in but we can't do drawings on here but draw the shoes 97 00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:32.800 you see so ask god what shoes you are wearing and I want you to just take a few minutes to doodle on 98 00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:39.520 a piece of paper or on your thing and draw your shoes and they may well be different from the 99 00:09:39.520 --> 00:09:44.720 shoes that you wore at conference for those of you who came to conference they might be different 100 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:54.160 they might be the same so I'll give you a couple of minutes my drawing skills are appalling but 101 00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:57.520 um I think you'll get the idea 102 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.060 you 103 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.060 you 104 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.060 you 105 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.060 you 106 00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:49.060 okay how's your drawing skills going well Gina's getting on Angela will be 107 00:11:49.060 --> 00:11:53.840 doing great drawings actually Amy might be doing them too okay while you are if 108 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:59.760 those of you who have finished drawing feel free to answer the next couple of 109 00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:04.760 questions while you're sort of doing your drawing or your sketching but what 110 00:12:04.760 --> 00:12:10.120 does it mean for you in this season so God so for me like you know what boots 111 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:15.480 are you might want to describe the boots describe the boots what does it mean so 112 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:22.560 because the boots will represent something for your season and what do 113 00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:25.440 you need to remember when asking God when you show you to show you something 114 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:30.360 so just showing you what that is what does it mean and what is it for so just 115 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.840 asking him what that is for you 116 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.500 you 117 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:41.080 how are

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.000 Obviously, my artist's drawing is not nearly as good as Amy's, 296 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.000 but they are Maya boots because you know, for those of you who hang out with me, 297 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:29.000 that I go and see Mr. Maya in Dunedin and he hand makes boots. 298 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.000 And it's because they're uniquely designed and they're bright and colorful. 299 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.000 That's kind of in your face, Sally. 300 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.000 But they're solid, hard-wearing, sturdy, full-length and protected. 301 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.000 So I've got the protection that some of you got. 302 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.000 There's got a heel because he's raising us up. 303 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.000 Fashion and function. 304 00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.000 And it's about making a statement. 305 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:49.000 It's about taking ground. 306 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.000 It's about taking dominion. 307 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.000 So you can take some of that for yourselves as well. 308 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.000 In what you've got, you know, the heels for raising up, 309 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.000 the fact that they are protection, which is what Siham had as well. 310 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.000 And it's not just the protection of the feet. 311 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:05.000 It is a spiritual protection as well. 312 00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.000 So this is giving you, you've actually given, 313 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.000 he has given you prophetic words for your futures for right now 314 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.000 and what he's doing for you now. 315 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.000 So it helps you to understand your season. 316 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:23.000 And that's why we use this exercise to warm you up, to help you for your season. 317 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:27.000 Now, I've put sort of four seasons, I think, in here. 318 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.000 Because I believe that we're often in different seasons at different times. 319 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.000 Sometimes we're in a season of rest. 320 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:40.000 So, you know, come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, 321 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.000 and I will give you rest. 322 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.000 Take my yoke upon you. 323 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.000 Let me teach you because I am humble and gentle at heart. 324 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.000 And I will give you rest for your souls. 325 00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.000 My yoke is easy to bear and my burden is light. 326 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.000 That's actually the NLT version. 327 00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:00.000 But I want you to consider what this means to you in this season. 328 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:09.520 does it mean if this scripture is actually about hanging out with Jesus and instead of the burdens 329 00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:15.760 of the world, the heavily laden of all the things that we have to do and the bills we have to pay 330 00:25:15.760 --> 00:25:20.000 and the work we have to go to and all the things looking after kids, whatever it might be, being up 331 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:27.040 at A&E till 1.30 in the morning, whatever the situation is, that can be the physical stuff that 332 00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:32.560 we're carrying and that's not, yes we need to care, yes we need to do these things, but he's saying 333 00:25:32.560 --> 00:25:36.320 come on, be transformed by the renewing of your mind, you know, do not conform to the patterns 334 00:25:36.320 --> 00:25:42.480 of this world, so come on, take my yoke, so what would it mean for you if you took his yoke right 335 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:49.040 now, what would it mean, what does rest mean for you, a season of rest, because it's actually from 336 00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:53.920 peace and rest, for those of you like, I've obviously just been on holiday, for those of 337 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:59.280 you who get a break, Amy just had an afternoon to herself, so that was a moment of rest and she got 338 00:25:59.280 --> 00:26:05.680 clarity and she started to create, she started to think, so when we're in a space of rest, we're 339 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:11.040 actually using our prefrontal cortex because there's nothing stressing us and we're at our 340 00:26:11.040 --> 00:26:19.840 most creative, entrepreneurs, business leaders, successful people, 90% of their ideas come when 341 00:26:19.840 --> 00:26:25.520 they're at rest, when they're on the golf course, when they are chatting to somebody, not at work, 342 00:26:26.320 --> 00:26:31.280 we don't actually, because we're pumping at work, so just consider for yourselves, 343 00:26:31.280 --> 00:26:34.720 for a couple of minutes, what rest means to you, 344 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.040 and I'll put my bits down while I'm doing this, 345 00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:59.040 um 346 00:26:59.040 --> 00:26:59.540 you 347 00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:50.400 I've just put a couple of notes in here um actually as they've been literally directly 348 00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:56.960 downloaded but um for me rest is about clarity and purpose when I rest and I take time just at 349 00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:02.880 five o'clock or six o'clock in my day to review my day look back over it what have I achieved 350 00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:09.360 what have I done what what am I grateful for um I get clarity and purpose I get really clear 351 00:28:09.360 --> 00:28:15.040 on who I am and what I'm here for um when I take that time like we've just done now for those few 352 00:28:15.040 --> 00:28:20.000 moments I get to tune in I get to connect to the right power source so when I'm at rest 353 00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:26.080 I'm not stressed I'm not worried I'm not anxious because those things can overtake 354 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:32.880 and stop us being able they actually block our capacity for to hear the right power source and 355 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:38.640 of course I feel peace I'm calm I'm in control I'm not having to rush anywhere I'm not having 356 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:44.000 to do anything I can just be in the moment be present because that's the gift of today 357 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.640 and all things are possible to those who believe I can sit and think about what I believe what I 358 00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:55.200 in the morning I look ahead to my day what am I going to do how is that looking like so I take 359 00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:01.040 that time quietly in the morning to really do it at night too but to to look ahead and go this is 360 00:29:01.040 --> 00:29:06.800 how my days and there's no striving there's no pressure there's no pushing there's no forcing 361 00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:13.280 it's a day that flows and then um everything's done for me or with me because God's already 362 00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:22.160 got ahead of me in my day anybody want to share anything ask a question share on this we will go 363 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.440 on to the next one so somebody might share on this one someone might share on the next one 364 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:31.440 whatever it might be but I'm just is that helpful does that make you see rest differently is it 365 00:29:32.320 --> 00:29:40.240 what is it for you guys um I have something to share I was just reflecting about that question 366 00:29:41.120 --> 00:29:47.600 and it was a bit like to me it was saying the verse that is connected it was saying that um 367 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:54.000 or confirming um that through following God we find rest and our troubles and worries are much 368 00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:59.840 lighter than trying to do it on our own um and that through following him things that were 369 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.400 or too hard or quite difficult or easier. 370 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:04.840 Like, for example, sitting up in A&E 371 00:30:04.840 --> 00:30:06.400 with Audrey till half past one in the morning 372 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:09.000 was a lot easier than what it previously has been. 373 00:30:10.040 --> 00:30:12.360 Brilliant, because you just had God with you. 374 00:30:12.360 --> 00:30:13.640 Yeah. 375 00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:14.480 Amen. 376 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:15.400 Oh, yeah. 377 00:30:15.400 -->

is it a season of enjoying his presence 387 00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:43.280 and experiencing his love? 388 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.000 God's love has been poured out into our hearts 389 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:48.440 through the Holy Spirit, 390 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.560 who has been given to us and actually lives in us, 391 00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:53.960 for those of us who've given our lives to Jesus. 392 00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:58.760 What is his character, or where is his character 393 00:30:58.760 --> 00:31:01.960 showing up in your life in this season? 394 00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:04.120 Now, we looked at God's character yesterday, 395 00:31:04.120 --> 00:31:07.280 and all of you had a beautiful revelation 396 00:31:07.280 --> 00:31:10.880 of who he is for you, his gentleness, his kindness, 397 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:12.480 you know, how he wants to lift you up, 398 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.560 patience, it might be self-control that's showing up. 399 00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:18.080 But what is it of his character 400 00:31:18.080 --> 00:31:21.200 that is showing up for you in this season? 401 00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.880 A name you just witnessed, you know, last night, 402 00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:26.320 you know, would have been super tough 403 00:31:26.320 --> 00:31:28.440 if she hadn't had God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit 404 00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.960 with her as she was waiting at A&E. 405 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:32.040 So what is it for you? 406 00:31:32.040 --> 00:31:34.320 Where is he showing up for you? 407 00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:35.520 And I'll give you a couple of minutes 408 00:31:35.520 --> 00:31:38.400 or a couple of moments just to consider that. 409 00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:56.200 Okay, let me know what that means to you 410 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:19.960 and what you're seeing. 411 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.480 Does anybody want to share the presence 412 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:24.760 that he's giving you at the moment? 413 00:33:24.760 --> 00:33:26.760 And presence, I love it. 414 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.720 His presence is a gift, which is like a present. 415 00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:35.320 It's freely given to you. 416 00:33:35.320 --> 00:33:36.160 Siham. 417 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:40.000 Okay. 418 00:33:42.080 --> 00:33:45.080 When I feel lost, he guides me. 419 00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:45.920 Yeah. 420 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:48.560 When I feel lonely, he supports me 421 00:33:48.560 --> 00:33:51.040 and makes me feel I'm not alone. 422 00:33:51.040 --> 00:33:53.240 He provides me with creativity 423 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:57.440 and puts people in my path to support me and validate me 424 00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:59.680 and make me feel loved, cared for, 425 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:01.320 with little acts of kindness. 426 00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:06.600 It's him all along, all along watching over me. 427 00:34:06.600 --> 00:34:08.880 I'm sure he listens to my prayers 428 00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:11.560 and shelters me with his kindness and warmth. 429 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:15.040 Love that. 430 00:34:15.040 --> 00:34:17.800 I love that, that. 431 00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:20.360 And he is, he is who fills us. 432 00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:24.440 And then we're not looking externally for others to fill us, 433 00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:26.880 but he blesses us with other people. 434 00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.840 That is absolute gold. 435 00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:31.199 And it allows you to rest in his presence, 436 00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:33.800 knowing that he's with you, knowing that you're loved, 437 00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:35.120 knowing that you're chosen, 438 00:34:35.120 --> 00:34:37.520 knowing that you are a beautiful child of God 439 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:39.760 and that he's your dad 440 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:41.920 and he loves you to the end of the earth and back. 441 00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:43.280 It's very cool. 442 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:44.120 I love it. 443 00:34:44.120 --> 00:34:44.960 Excellent. 444 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:45.880 Thank you for sharing. 445 00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.600 Anyone else want to share what his presence is like for you? 446 00:34:49.600 --> 00:34:50.440 You don't have to. 447 00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.280 It's just, if anybody wants to, they can, 448 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.679 otherwise I can go on to the next one. 449 00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:55.520 Oh, look at all those. 450 00:34:55.520 --> 00:34:56.840 I'm trying to find the heart. 451 00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:58.960 See, Hammond, because I'm sharing the screen, 452 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.120 I can't find my thing. 453 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.000 I love hearts. 454 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.000 Yeah, but look, they're my thing. I was looking for them while you were sharing. 455 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:11.000 I have hearts everywhere, everywhere in the house, in my jewelry, everywhere. 456 00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:18.000 I love it, but I haven't got a, I don't think I can share them while I've got screen share on, it's really odd. 457 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:23.000 I've got, yeah, never mind, never mind. 458 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:31.000 I've got him in my walks. He's walking beside me, supporting me in my times of need. 459 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:36.000 He is teaching me to love myself and him. 460 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:42.000 Brilliant. Ah, and how beautiful does that fit with the shoes? 461 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.000 Being connected, being grounded, being centered. 462 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.000 He wants to center you in this time. He wants to fill you in this time. 463 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.000 That's beautiful. I love it. 464 00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.000 Okay, I might get Angela to share on the next one. 465 00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:00.000 She feels like it or whatever. 466 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:07.000 So number three, is it a season of increased intimacy with him? 467 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:11.000 So I pray that the father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 468 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:17.000 who impart to you the riches of the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of revelation, 469 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:21.000 to know him through your deepening intimacy with him. 470 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:25.000 And it looks like all of you are tuning in very nicely. 471 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:29.000 But consider what you're anxious or worried about in this season. 472 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:33.000 I want you to write it. So this is, now this is my tissue box. 473 00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:39.000 So for those of you who I haven't coached you on the tissue box, this is my tissue box that God gave me. 474 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:42.000 It's flipping hilarious. So it's a God box. 475 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:48.000 So basically, if you have got anything you're anxious, you're worried, you're stressed over, 476 00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:53.000 it's taking up your mind. It's taking up your best real estate here. 477 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:58.000 And it's not allowing you to be clear. I want you to write it down on a scrap piece of paper. 478 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.000 I've actually got a pad and I write down the back and the back of the pad. 479 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:08.000 I write down what it is and then I put it in the tissue box, which is the God box. 480 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:12.000 Now, the reason I use a tissue box is because it's quite unassuming. 481 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.000 Nothing flashes, nothing, but also because tissues wipe away the tears. 482 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.000 And that's what God wants to do for you. He wants to wipe away your tears. 483 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.000 He wants to take away your stress for you, because actually Jesus paid in full on the cross for that. 484 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:31.000 So he paid in full for all sickness or worries, all anxiety, all stress, all guilt, all shame, 485 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:39.000 all of that ugly stuff. He paid for that and it belongs to him, not you. 486 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:46.000 And what he wants to do is he wants to exchange it for his free love, for his character, 487 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:51.000 for the gifts that he's got for you. So what we do is we put it in the tissue box 488 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:58.000 and you are not allowed to think about it. You are not allowed to do anything, anything. 489 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.000 It's like, no, it's in the God box. No, it's in the tissue box. 490 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.000 You are not allowed to give it any air time at all, unless you think you're bigger than God, 491 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:09.000 in which case you can go and take it out of the tissue box and deal with it yourself. 492 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:12.000 But actually, the reason it's in the tissue box is because you can't deal with it. 493 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.000 But anyway, we're not going to go there. So stick it in the tissue box. 494 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:22.000 And then what I want you to do is I want you to sit and I want you to ask Jesus for the great exchange. 495 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.000 Jesus, what are you giving me in return? I have given you and it took me forever 496 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:33.000 to work out to give my ugly stuff to Jesus. Like Jesus is like pure and perfect. 497 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:36.000 And like, what am I doing? Vomiting all my revolting stuff onto him. 498 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:39.000 Like what the heck? But you know what? He paid for it. 499 00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:45.000 And until we give it and release it to him and give it to God. 500 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:50.000 It's filling up the space that God wants to actually fill with the beauty of who he is. 501 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.000 So we need to do the exchange. We need to release it. It's not ours. 502 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:59.000 Give it back to Jesus. And we need to ask him to give us the exchange of whatever it might be. 503 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.000 So if we are depressed, for example, no one on here, I'm sure is. 504 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:11.000 But if that was a thing, then you give him the worries and the depression and the anxiety and the stress. 505 00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:16.000 And he'll give you peace and joy because you cannot be joyful and depressed at the same time. 506 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:22.000 Doesn't work. And you cannot be anxious and peaceful at the same time. Doesn't work. 507 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:28.000 So the fruits of the spirit, gentleness, kindness, peace, joy, patience. 508 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:37.000 I always miss some self-control, faithfulness. Seven missing to my joy and love. 509 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:43.000 There we go. They are all exchanges, but they're all answers. 510 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:48.000 And for those of us who built the course with me last term, we did relationships and we use these. 511 00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:57.000 This is the great exchange. So we use these. We give away what we don't want and we ask for what is already ours. 512 00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.000 So I just want you to. 513 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:00.000 And so what I put. 514 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.520 here is write the great exchange that he gives you in here. 515 00:40:03.520 --> 00:40:06.000 So if there's something now that you just want to give 516 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:09.720 to him, take that time now just to give it to him, 517 00:40:09.720 --> 00:40:12.440 to all yours, whatever it is, the worry, the stress, 518 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:14.140 the anxiety, whatever it might be, 519 00:40:15.720 --> 00:40:17.320 I'm gonna write one down 520 00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:19.600 and I'm gonna ask for the exchange. 521 00:40:19.600 --> 00:40:22.680 So write it down on your little piece of paper or whatever. 522 00:40:22.680 --> 00:40:25.440 I'm gonna do exactly as you are. 523 00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:26.280 So, 524 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:05.000 okay, has everyone had a chance to give Jesus something 525 00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.160 and have an exchange?

632 00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:21.760 Show me the way. 633 00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:23.560 What is it that I need to focus on? 634 00:47:23.560 --> 00:47:25.680 Because what we do is we focus on the fear 635 00:47:25.680 --> 00:47:27.520 instead of focusing on the love. 636 00:47:27.520 --> 00:47:29.520 And Jesus want the fear of not enough. 637 00:47:29.520 --> 00:47:30.880 The fear of not being valued. 638 00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:33.280 The fear of it's actually what gets us 639 00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:36.520 and it keeps us trapped and it stops us being brilliant. 640 00:47:36.520 --> 00:47:40.480 Whereas the love of you are highly favored. 641 00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:43.400 You are in heavenly realms. 642 00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:45.560 You are a child of God. 643 00:47:45.560 --> 00:47:47.560 You are chosen. 644 00:47:47.560 --> 00:47:50.560 You are fearfully and wonderfully made. 645 00:47:50.560 --> 00:47:53.160 And that is ultimately you are uniquely designed 646 00:47:53.160 --> 00:47:54.280 to be brilliant. 647 00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:56.800 So we don't have to compare ourselves to anybody else. 648 00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:58.680 We don't have to prove ourselves. 649 00:47:58.680 --> 00:48:00.560 There's no condemnation in this world. 650 00:48:00.560 --> 00:48:01.680 It's about collaboration. 651 00:48:01.680 --> 00:48:03.760 It's about working with the right people. 652 00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:07.240 And you are highly favored and highly intelligent 653 00:48:07.240 --> 00:48:11.880 and you pour out a huge amount to a lot of people. 654 00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:13.880 There is some stuff that you need to unpack 655 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:16.520 and we haven't had the opportunity to do that 656 00:48:16.520 --> 00:48:19.920 but this is a way of releasing it. 657 00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:23.680 And you made a very, very valid point just now. 658 00:48:23.680 --> 00:48:27.240 And the first thing is we have to admit it to ourselves. 659 00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:31.440 If we can't find it, get a coach to help you find it. 660 00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.440 But if you can't express it, 661 00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:37.080 then we need to find the right coaches in the right space. 662 00:48:37.080 --> 00:48:39.280 And that's funny because I wasn't necessarily gonna share. 663 00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:40.920 I didn't know what I was gonna write down. 664 00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:42.520 And it's funny that that's something 665 00:48:42.520 --> 00:48:44.160 that resonated for you. 666 00:48:44.160 --> 00:48:45.520 The concern about finance 667 00:48:45.520 --> 00:48:46.920 or the concern about old age 668 00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.760 or the concern about whatever it might be. 669 00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:53.080 And when we release it and when we give it to him, 670 00:48:53.080 --> 00:48:56.160 today we pick up the keys on our third property. 671 00:48:56.160 --> 00:48:58.440 And that's our pension fund ultimately. 672 00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:01.680 That's how we've decided to do it for us. 673 00:49:02.560 --> 00:49:07.000 And so it's God blesses us in so many ways. 674 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.440 So he gives us exactly what we need. 675 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:11.320 He gives us the provision and the protection. 676 00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:14.560 And I'm claiming that for you too, that that will come. 677 00:49:14.560 --> 00:49:16.240 So we have to trust him 678 00:49:16.240 --> 00:49:21.000 because it'll be things that we haven't earned. 679 00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.640 We will reap what we haven't sowed. 680 00:49:23.640 --> 00:49:27.120 And that's the glory, but we have to focus on him. 681 00:49:27.120 --> 00:49:29.400 We have to be in his word too. 682 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:31.400 And then the last season on here, 683 00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:33.320 cause we are aware of time. 684 00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:37.200 Is it the season of true love and forgiveness 685 00:49:37.200 --> 00:49:38.440 where it is done. 686 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:42.040 You are paid for in full and it is all by his grace. 687 00:49:42.040 --> 00:49:44.320 It's not by anything you do. 688 00:49:45.080 --> 00:49:45.920 And there's a scripture here. 689 00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:48.440 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, 690 00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:52.160 we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 691 00:49:52.160 --> 00:49:54.720 through whom we have gained access to faith 692 00:49:54.720 --> 00:49:57.400 into the grace in which we now stand. 693 00:49:58.280 --> 00:49:59.840 So take a moment just to. 694 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.240 a moment in his presence and embrace his love for you and write down what you experience. 695 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:15.200 Because nothing that I do is going to make God love me more. He loves me because he loves me 696 00:50:15.200 --> 00:50:22.960 because he loves me because he's created me and all of you in his image and he loves you 697 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:30.000 because he loves you because he loves you and when we accept receiving is one of the biggest 698 00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:38.160 problems that Christians have. They're all so busy doing, giving, pouring out but you can't 699 00:50:38.160 --> 00:50:44.720 pour out until you've received. You've got to receive that love so I want you to just 700 00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:52.000 be for a moment and just receive his love and write down what you feel or what you see 701 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:58.240 or what it is for you. 702 00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:22.500 you 703 00:51:52.000 --> 00:52:08.160 Okay I've thrown a few in there. Actually what I'll also do is I'll send you the link 704 00:52:08.720 --> 00:52:14.400 to this as well if you want to refer back to some of my notes on this so that you've got your own 705 00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:18.880 notes and you've got this. I'll give you, I'll add that in, I'll add the link into the email 706 00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:24.960 with the replay. So anyone want to share what they just felt? 707 00:52:33.120 --> 00:52:40.160 Yeah I'll share. Go for it. I think for me it's just peace, joy, 708 00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:46.080 strength. Right. I think it's a huge one at the moment especially you know I was up 709 00:52:46.080 --> 00:52:54.960 half the night and I'm still up now and don't feel as tired as one probably think I would. 710 00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:59.200 But you might, it might hit you tomorrow or tonight to be here. 711 00:52:59.200 --> 00:53:03.440 Probably later this afternoon but yeah. Yeah yeah you might have a good time. 712 00:53:04.080 --> 00:53:07.680 I just feel like it's God that's giving me that strength to get up and do the things 713 00:53:07.680 --> 00:53:13.680 that I need to be doing that I've already committed to and brilliant and that. So yeah. 714 00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:19.840 I love that. Thank you for sharing Amy. That's gold. I love the fact that you're 715 00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:24.480 yawning as you're sharing it. That's just beautiful. Angela have you got anything 716 00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:28.400 you want to share? You've been pretty quiet this morning and you don't have to. 717 00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:36.720 I just feel his peace and joy and knowing that everything's going to be okay. 718 00:53:39.120 --> 00:53:44.880 How beautiful is that? I love that and doesn't that just make you go into your day just going 719 00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:48.960 right well I'm just going to do whatever he calls me to do today and I've got no worries 720 00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:53.760 and it's all good and whatever I do today and because he's going to love me he's going to 721 00:53:54.720 --> 00:54:05.680 love me anyway. Whatever I do today is a bonus. It's cool eh? I love that. Thank you for sharing. 722 00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:12.640 Excellent. Right I think yep we're on identity tomorrow. So look at that we've almost finished 723 00:54:12.640 --> 00:54:19.920 on time. My goodness. Okay so we'll stop the share. We've got five minutes. Is there anything 724 00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:27.920 that anybody particularly wants to share or ask? Has this been helpful? How do you feel now 725 00:54:28.720 --> 00:54:35.040 as you're going away from this today? I know it's been a lot to take in for me and I've been 726 00:54:35.040 --> 00:54:40.960 coaching it and written it but it's like I feel like I'm going to need to process during today 727 00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:46.720 you know and just be in his presence to kind of grasp some of the things that he shared but how 728 00:54:46.720 --> 00:54:50.640 about you guys? Does anybody want to share about how they feel or whether this has been helpful? 729 00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:59.760 Um I am calm. 730 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:10.000 at ease. I'm at peace. I had nothing to write down. And that was pretty cool because there 731 00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:20.520 is nothing today for me to put in the tissue box. He is, yeah, yeah, I'm calm. I feel relaxed. 732 00:55:20.520 --> 00:55:30.520 I feel peaceful. I just, yeah, nothing to worry about today. And we'll just go through 733 00:55:30.520 --> 00:55:35.360 the day. And as things come up, and I'm learning this at home, having the children at home 734 00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:40.280 and making a mess in my kitchen. I'm learning just to look past that and not worry about 735 00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:46.560 it because it's not my worry. It's not for me to take on. So yeah, I've learned a lot 736 00:55:46.600 --> 00:55:54.120 from Sally over the time. And yeah, it's not letting it affect me. Yeah. 737 00:55:55.400 --> 00:56:01.280 That is gold. That is absolute gold. Just not having the pressure, not having the stress, 738 00:56:01.560 --> 00:56:08.080 and just doing what you're called to do today. That's lovely. Yeah. Thank you, Gina. And 739 00:56:08.080 --> 00:56:13.320 of course, we did say that this will be about sorting out your season. Now, I haven't actually 740 00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:18.800 gone into your seasons of what you're doing, what your work is, what it looks like. I've 741 00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:24.240 gone a lot deeper today. Because we can look at the surface level. Oh, my season is writing 742 00:56:24.240 --> 00:56:28.440 my book. Oh, my season is doing this, doing that, doing the other. But actually, what 743 00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:35.320 I've what you got in front of you right now is your season. It's a season of rest. It's 744 00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:42.080 a season of blessing. It's a season of grace. It's a season of not worrying about finances 745 00:56:42.080 --> 00:56:49.200 or whatever it might be. It's a season of just being and because if we be first, we 746 00:56:49.200 --> 00:56:56.040 do next and then we have because if we try and have to be when I have this, I will do 747 00:56:56.040 --> 00:57:02.000 this and I'll be that that's the world's way unhelpful. So what we need to do so what we've 748 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:09.720 done what I've given you today is the capacity to be so that you can do what you need to 749 00:57:09.720 --> 00:57:15.840 do in the right season so that you can have. So hopefully, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. 750 00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:21.000 And I'm looking forward to what you bring back tomorrow from your thoughts today. And 751 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:25.440 how that's manifested for you. Anything anybody wants to share before I pray you out and let 752 00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:34.200 you have an amazing God bless day. You're all good. 753 00:57:34.200 --> 00:57:38.880 Yeah, I'd like to quickly share something. I thought it was interesting when we're doing 754 00:57:39.040 --> 00:57:46.240 the third question and writing down something to put into that gold box. I didn't have anything 755 00:57:46.240 --> 00:57:52.840 today to write down. But I thought of something that had sort of done it previously. And it 756 00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:59.560 was questioning my purpose. And I was like, wow, actually God replaced that. And it's 757 00:57:59.560 --> 00:58:05.680 like there's been this song I shared at home group on Tuesday. And I'll share it in the 758 00:58:05.680 --> 00:58:11.360 chat too. But there's been this song and whenever I scroll on TikTok, every two or 759 00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:19.880 three videos, that song worship song is coming up again and again and again. So it's like 760 00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:27.760 and it's just about saying that, you know, I was made for I was made I was called by 761 00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:34.160 name born and raised back to life again made for more and being chosen free and forgiven. 762 00:58:34.240 --> 00:58:40.560 So yeah. Brilliant. I love that. So yes, please share that with us so we can listen to that 763 00:58:40.560 --> 00:58:46.800 today. That would be amazing. And then there's another somebody else talked about a song 764 00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:50.960 Adele's just released recently or has been on the thing. So if anybody can find that, 765 00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:55.040 can they stick it in the chat too? Because apparently that's amazing. Someone else was 766 00:58:55.040 --> 00:58:58.160 talking about that. I don't know whether that was yesterday on this group or whether it was 767 00:58:58.160 --> 00:59:01.360 somewhere else can't remember. But somebody was talking about it this week. And I was like, 768 00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:07.280 can you put it in the chat? Yeah, she came yesterday and it was Adele. Oh no, was it Di? 769 00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:13.120 Oh, it might have been Diana. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Adele and it's 770 00:59:16.160 --> 00:59:21.760 easy for me. Yeah. Yeah. I put the title in, but I'll find the song and I'll stick it in the 771 00:59:21.760 --> 00:59:27.120 WhatsApp chat. I love it. All right. Father God, just bless these beautiful people and all those 772 00:59:27.120 --> 00:59:32.640 that are watching the replay, Lord, may your presence be with them. May they just know that 773 00:59:32.640 --> 00:59:38.800 they know that they know that they're loved, that they have got nothing that they need to be doing 774 00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:45.600 to earn your love, that it is freely given to freely give that they are blessed to be a blessing. 775 00:59:45.600 --> 00:59:51.040 And Lord, I just ask for your grace, your blessing and your favor to be on each and every one of us, 776 00:59:51.040 --> 00:59:56.240 all of us, as we go out into our day today. And may we come back with some beautiful 777 00:59:56.240 --> 00:59:59.840 testimonies and witnessing of how you are changing our lives. 778 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.000 And I just say thank you, thank you, thank you, in Jesus' name.
