So hello, hello, hello and welcome back. Thank you for joining us live. For those of you
who've got your guided worksheets, I hope you've had a chance to get them printed off
or just you can, they're editable PDFs so you can tap them into the into the laptop
too as you go. So whatever works best for you is great. And hopefully you've got yourself
a cup of tea, cup of coffee, whatever, a glass of water, whatever it might be. I can see
the cat in the back at least is getting herself all snuggled in. So that you're ready to just
come and have some fun. Now, I won't actually show the screen in terms of we'll just share.
But anyone had like, ah, I really thought about this from yesterday's training. So anything
for anyone that went, hmm, I really watched my words or whatever it might be. Anything
pop for anyone? I love the way I was paying more attention. Oh, I'm sorry. That's right.
I'm paying attention like this morning with my grandkids, especially and so school just
ended. I work at a school. And so we're done as of yesterday. And so it's a little easier
to just be a little calmer and settled because I don't have to be up doing whatever. I'm
just off now. So but you know, sometimes I get a little bit pushed and I'm not always
as sweet with the grandkids as I'd like to be because we all live together. And it's
like, but this morning was good. It just was just more calm and more. Let's pay attention
to how we're how we're talking. And especially with my youngest granddaughter, I told her
this morning we were talking and she was telling me about something that happened. And I said,
well, always remember, just use kind words. So yay, yay. Actually, there's a bit of a
testimony we did. So these guys actually hang out with me and Fruits of Spirit with Brilliant.
And one of the ladies who who started doing Fruits of Spirit has never heard of Graham
didn't know anything about any of his teachings and came last term, a grand grandmother. And
she was always like, not that this is you, but, you know, she was always like this with
her granddaughter. Her granddaughter was hurt and her granddaughter was struggling with
things and her dad had gone away and she was living with them for a while. And but just
working through the fruits, just working through kindness and goodness and coming back to her
granddaughter with love. It's transformed their relationship, absolutely transformed
their relationship. And it's like, oh, this is so good. So you're right. Just having that
moment to just be present. And yes, end of terms, end of school, especially when you're
teaching or involved in school, it's all on like it's full noise. And so you've got that
double portion, you're hanging out with us and you're getting a chance to breathe, which
is great. And to just, you know, by the God, help Lisa in this beautiful time that she's
got to just really rest in you and be able to be who she's called to be. Just, you know,
that's it's that breathing space to regroup, reset and go, right, OK, we've got this. So
I love that. I love that. That's a lovely testimony to start with. Anyone else want
to share? You don't have to, but if you would like to, anything you want to share from yesterday's
training or just how you were following, kind of getting up and getting going in your day.
Realize that something I sort of said to that last night, I know when he doesn't like
something I've said, because he'll get up, make himself a coffee and sort of just remove
himself from the conversation. But I was trying to encourage him, get him to to move.
We don't have to sit and wait for for God all the time.
And I use the the illustration that, you know, if you're looking for a job, you don't
just sit back. And wait, you actually go for jobs and then God will give you, you know,
so I'm trying to tell him, let's step out and, you know, and he didn't like it and.
Just. Sometimes you've got even the words you use for other people, you know, sort of
needs to sometimes suit them like it, it's a whole new ballgame, like we don't have to
go into that, but it was like, OK, I understand he's not quite there with with that sort
of conversation. So, but yeah, it's.
It was really a, I hope now it's like.
Yeah. And it's, Jesus met people where they were,
not where he was, but where they were.
And so I think that's another little, you know,
it's a little shimmy with our words is we can see,
and again, we can't read the label from inside the jar.
So your dad's got no idea what you can see.
You can see stuff that he can't see.
All of us can see stuff in each other
that we can't see for ourselves.
And I believe it's like when we come together
and we work in this scenario or whatever,
and, but we've got to come with love and kindness
and go, okay, I can see this.
And I've got a scenario
with my amazing bestest friend on the planet.
I caught up with her yesterday and I've been praying
because I'm like, because we chatted
and we'd nutted some stuff out,
but I couldn't go there with,
you just want life the way you want it to be.
You, you know, so that she's at just a little bit
of loggerheads with her husband's
not quite fitting the mold she wants.
And he's, you know, so it's just that ee, ee, ee, ee.
And I'm like, okay, I'm going to have to pray about this.
And I'm going to have to ask God,
how, what do you want me to say to her?
And how do I share it with her
that she'll be able to receive what I've got to say
without getting offended,
without going and making a cup of coffee
or whatever it might be, you know?
And so it's having that,
it's having that relationship with God
to be able to do that,
but just choosing the words,
just because I see it,
doesn't mean to say I have to say it.
And just because I see it,
doesn't mean that I should speak it
until God has said, actually, this is how to share it,
or this is, you know, whatever it might be.
So it's an interesting journey,
being aware of our words.
Brilliant.
I love it.
Well done.
And I know Amy was on fire yesterday.
She got lots done in her personal life yesterday.
So anything you want to share, Ames,
or should we get cracking with the day?
Yeah, no, it was good to get some stuff done yesterday.
I have noticed
things have dampened a little bit
in regards with
where my mind's going straight to at times.
Yeah.
Around some of the old behaviours.
Yeah.
And of course, when you start to take ground,
so you're looking again,
and God's given you,
he gave you a beautiful revelation yesterday
with the game that you played with him.
So what's going to happen?
You're going to get tested.
So that's fine.
We've got this.
No, you are the weakest link.
Goodbye.
I'm going this way.
And you're choosing,
and that's what you did yesterday.
I mean, this had been,
this was before the coaching yesterday.
You were having some tough stuff going on,
and it was kind of,
but you turned the corner.
You went, nah, nah, I'm going to go this way.
So yes, that old stuff is going to try and come back,
but you're like, no, no, it's not who I am.
I'm going this way.
And you've got some beautiful words from God yesterday
to encourage you to.
So keep going.
You've got this.
You're going to get tested.
You've got this.
You made some massive progress yesterday,
and you're really aware of,
oh, it's because of this.
It's because of this.
It's because of that.
Boom, right, there you go.
Put it back into order.
It was lovely.
Alrighty, let's share the screen so we can get going.
Oh, we don't need that bit.
And what we've done today is key four.
We've just done it verbally rather than writing it down,
which you can do by all means,
but it's the recap, review, and reflect.
And so yesterday we looked at hearing his voice,
the words have power, and the choice is yours.
And all of you have just witnessed
that you are making good choices.
You are pausing, you are thinking,
you are responding, not reacting.
So even just from yesterday's training,
all of you have got something out of that.
And when I review, I look at the love.
So the life, love, insight, freedom, and engagement.
So what love?
What did I notice that shifted in my heart?
So for many of you, it may have been the pause button.
What were the light bulb moments?
Actually, if I come with kindness,
it's going to allow us to connect, whatever it might be.
And then freedom, what are the chains that have been broken
that have set you free?
And in Amy's case, there's some old lies
that have tried to come back into her head.
No, you are the weakest link, goodbye.
No, I'm going to go this way.
I'm going to get this done.
I'm going to do some things that I know bring me joy,
not going back into the other space.
And then engagement,
how has this helped you deepen your relationships
and connect with those around you?
And straight away, Kerry's witnessed that,
oh, hold on a minute, dad's gone off for his cup of tea.
Okay, he's not ready for this conversation yet.
That's okay, I can be patient.
God's got all the time in the world, so have I.
It's not my will, it's his will.
And he wants dad to come home to Christ,
he wants dad to come home.
So I know God's got this,
I'll just follow in what you asked me to do, Lord.
I love it.
Instead of carrying on going,
oh no, you need to do this, you need, you know what?
No, he doesn't just let it be.
So well done.
So you can write in there what it is for you
that has popped for you so far.
Give yourself a score out of 10
and you know that I'm always an eight.
I'm always ready for what the day has got to bring to me.
And this morning I've managed to do
another couple of chapters of my books
in terms of recording it.
So we're now at chapter 11, quite excited.
I've got seven chapters to go
and then the audio, we can start to put it together
and get the audio book out, that'd be so cool.
So I'm quite, again, quite excited
because things are moving forward.
Okie dokie, now big training today.
These guys have heard it before, but it is just,
you can't hear this more than like however many times.
So we've got two concepts here.
It's one concept, but I want to share it with you
because I'm going to break it down.
So ultimately, perfect love casts out all fear.
That is what I'm breaking down today
or unpacking rather than breaking down.
I'm unpacking that today.
So there are two concepts here,
the empowerment dynamic, which is a book by David Emerald
and the dreaded drama triangle,
which was some incredible work done way back
by Dr. Stephen Cartman.
Now I promised you guys
that you were going to live in the top 5%.
You were going to be a top 5% by the end of today
because the top 5% live in the empowerment dynamic.
90 to 95% of the population
live in the dreaded drama triangle.
And the difference between the two is taking responsibility.
That's it.
So in the dreaded drama triangle,
which is the stuff we put in the God box,
I'm going to talk to you about that in a minute,
we live in fear.
And fear is false evidence appearing real.
So it feels real, it looks real, but it's a lie.
And it's the enemy's way of keeping us stuck, trapped,
and not doing what we're called to do.
And we can go between three points.
We can be the victim.
Oh my goodness, no one loves me.
I haven't got enough money.
I haven't got this.
Oh my goodness.
Whatever it might be, we can be the victim.
And what we do is we take our hands off.
And we go, oh, poor me, I'm so helpless.
I can't do whatever it might, I can't.
The moment we say I can't,
we're putting ourselves into the victim's shoes.
There is often a persecutor.
And we can also be that persecutor.
We can move into that space.
When we're attacking somebody, oh, you have to do this,
we've become the persecutor.
But the persecutor can be a business, a system, a person.
It can be lots of different things,
but ultimately it's what is coming against you
as you see it in that season or in that moment.
So it could be somebody you're arguing with.
It could be a business or a leader
that isn't doing things the way you see it.
And you're feeling like you're then a victim.
So we can sit in these spaces at any time.
And then the other one is being the rescuer.
So we can sit in the, oh, let me do that for you.
Let me, and actually the rescuer is a really masked coach.
So a rescuer is let me take it away from you.
I'm a caretaker, not a caregiver.
So the rescuer is a caretaker.
And what they do is they do it for you.
Instead of showing you how to do it,
they disempower you by doing it for you.
If you can do it for yourself.
So it's like, for example,
if I was to tie my children's shoelaces
when they're capable of doing it for themselves,
I am taking the care away
and they're not learning to do that for themselves.
If I make the bed for them
when they can make it for themselves,
I'm disempowering them, I'm rescuing them.
And I'm wanting life my way.
I'm wanting to be in control.
And that's what the Dreaded Trauma Triangle
is all about, control.
Every single person on here
or every single one wants to be in control.
Do you want to ask a question, Amy?
I saw you put your finger up.
Yeah, I'm not sure if this is relevant,
but when you talk about the rescuer,
the analogy I sort of get is give a man a fish.
you can feed them for a day,
teach them to fish, you can feed for life.
That's right, because that's the one I use
when I go into, which we're about to hop into,
which is that's when you flip from the rescuer to the coach.
You're absolutely right.
But that's spot on, that's spot on.
So we've got the dreaded drama triangle,
all about fear, all about control,
all about being less than.
And what somebody noticed when I coached them
with this analogy,
look, if you were the victim down here,
look how much weight is above you.
Like you've got the, it's all weighty,
it's heavy and it feels oppressive.
Now, we don't have to stay there, thankfully,
because God is about love
and love is living out valour or courage every day.
So we're new every morning,
we get to live courageously every day.
We get to walk.
And if you look, this triangle has got a beautiful tip
towards the creator.
So it's light, it's easy,
because the bulk is behind you, not ahead of you.
So what we do here is we've got the creator,
how can I, what can I do?
How can I move forward?
We've got the coach,
is the person who is the caregiver.
So they're the person that teaches you to fish,
which is what Amy was talking about.
And instead of being the persecutor,
it becomes the challenge.
What I love about the enemy is he's stupid.
I love the fact that he's stupid
and he is totally uncreative.
He does the same thing,
that accusing finger that he pointed at Jesus
has not changed, that's his gig.
So when we get,
when we feel something comes against us,
that against us,
draw the drama triangle,
it's actually for us
because it's God pointing to our next upgrade.
I think it's brilliant.
And he lets the enemy point it out to us.
I think when he says,
consider it joy in all circumstances,
he genuinely means it
because there is always a promise attached to the problem.
So the persecutor is the problem,
the challenge is the promise.
And so we get to choose what we look for.
So ultimately the victim in this
becomes the creator, how can I?
Not I can't, but how can I?
The persecutor or the problem
becomes the promise, the challenge.
Like, oh, how am I going to get my next upgrade now?
This is brilliant.
And the rescuer becomes the coach
instead of caretaker,
I'll do that for you, give you a fish.
I become a caregiver, a coach.
Let me show you how,
let me show you how to fish
and then you can eat the rest of your life.
Brilliant.
And we call this the great exchange.
You can go, so Amy, bless her heart,
has created some God boxes for me
that are sold in the local bookstore.
But ultimately you can use a tissue box
and you can put all your rubbish in the tissue box
and then ask God for the great exchange.
I love it.
And he gives you all the good stuff.
So that's, and also we've got here,
the victim is limited, God is limitless.
He is endless, he is eternity.
He's got more in his pocket
than we could ever imagine.
So I've got a quick whip here for you guys
and I'm sure some of you have been
writing in that already.
So what I want you to consider right now,
so key six, God box.
We are now, I talked about the fact
that you would have somewhere safe.
Actually, before I go on,
any questions on that concept,
on how it works?
You're all quiet, so I'm guessing you're good.
So what we want to do,
I feel good.
Great.
We're going to do the great exchange.
And to do that,
the first thing we need to do,
be aware of the things that are false.
There's false evidence appearing real,
aware of the things that trip us up,
aware of the things that we don't like,
aware of the things that are coming against us.
So what I'd like you to do
is look up in there,
just write down anything right now
that's challenging you,
that's coming against you,
where you're a victim,
where you're whatever it might be
and get them down there.
Because if we can write them in,
we can then give them to God,
which we'll do in a moment.
So just take a moment to write down
anything at the moment,
unhelpful thoughts,
unkind words,
whatever it might be
that is coming against you right now.
All that you want to get rid of.
.
Some of you are busy writing, some of you are thinking.
Some of it could be we might want to get rid of some unhelpful thoughts
or we might want to get rid of feeling tired or unmotivated.
Too motivated.
It is interesting, Kerry, what I have put in for me is falling into the busy trap.
Sometimes we can get too busy doing before being.
For me, I always have to keep resetting to rest.
Going back in my evening routine to God, thanking Him for the day,
thanking Him for all the stuff we have done,
helping me plan so that there is space and time in my day that I can hang out with Him,
I can have fun, and amongst all the other things I am doing.
I am not running ahead of Him so I can get busy in life
as opposed to being in the business of the Kingdom.
It is just making sure I stay in that space.
I hear you.
Okey-dokey.
Thank you.
I was just going to say, I think sometimes that God gives me dreams at night.
I have to sit there with Him in the morning and interpret it all
and it doesn't get me.
Everything else is pushed aside.
It is like, you know, you are talking to me when we are doing this
so I am going to keep giving you dreams.
It is my rest at night.
Good.
You know what, that is not being busy.
That is not.
But it is good just to make sure.
And it is.
We want to be with Him in the morning.
You know what, many of us would.
I remember it wasn't that long ago when you said,
Oh my goodness, I used to get dreams.
I haven't had them for ages.
I remember you saying that in the relatively recent past.
And I love the fact now that you cherish them.
You cherish them.
You write them down.
You interpret them.
You are asking God.
You are spending that time together.
And that is precious time.
It is exciting.
You know?
Right.
Excellent.
So what I would like you to do, anything that is on that list that is
making you feel less than, I want you to release it to God.
I want you to say, sorry, God, that I'm not achieving whatever it is.
Help me.
Help me, Lord.
So I'm going to release right now, Father God, I am going to release.
And in my case, lack of administration.
letting my eyes deceive me and falling into the busy trap.
I'm gonna release that and give that to you, Jesus.
I'm gonna take my hands off my rubbish
and I'm going to give it to you.
And that's what I want you to do.
I want you to declare this.
You can put yourself on mute
and just say it quietly in your own space or whatever,
but tell Jesus that you are giving this to him.
You're giving it back to God
because Jesus paid in full for all of this.
And there's a lovely story for those of you
who may or may not be aware.
I love repeating it because it just cracks me up
where Graham Cook, who used to hang,
like does, you know, has dreams.
You know, like Kerry, has dreams.
He's often in heaven with Jesus
and he often has some really good chats up there.
And then one day, and he's so used to going up
and he said, they've got this like little tent
that they hang out in.
There's always good food there.
They have a good chat, a good yarn.
It's always great fun.
And one day he's there
and Jesus's face looks like thunder.
And he's like, holy, what have I done?
And he's like, oh, I think I'll just hide in this tent
and then maybe Jesus will go away.
Jesus doesn't go away.
But, and so he walks over and he says,
give me back what's mine.
And Graham's like, oh my goodness, what have I done?
What am I holding onto that belongs to you, Jesus?
I love you.
Like, what the heck?
And he says, give me back what's mine.
And he's, by this time he's crying.
He's like, what have I taken of yours?
Guilt, shame, anxiety, stress, worry,
all the burdens of life in my case,
not being, my lack of,
not being on top of my administration,
not being on, letting my eyes look at chocolate cakes
and things and then eat them.
That's really unhelpful.
And then falling into the busy trap,
getting into other people's lanes,
being busy as opposed to being in the business
of the kingdom.
Jesus paid in full for all of your stuff
and it belongs to him.
So I want you right now, whatever you've written down
and you can write more down later,
I want you to release it,
verbally tell Jesus,
thank you that you paid in full for this.
Lord, I'm giving you back the stuff that you paid for,
that belongs to you.
And I release it to you.
And then you're going to write them down
and stick them in a God box or a tissue box,
or you're going to put them somewhere
that is no longer yours.
And when you do that,
we're then going to ask for great exchange.
Because what I love about Jesus
is he doesn't leave that room empty.
He's so cool.
He gives us then what we need.
We have to release it first to clear the room
and then he can give us what we need.
So give us a thumbs up when you've given it back to Jesus
and you're ready to do the great exchange.
Lisa's like, yeah, I'm so ready.
I think it's funny that when I got sick,
so that I didn't have to walk over to the house
with my rubbish,
dad put the wheelie bin just outside my door.
That's my God box.
That's been my God box.
It's like this massive big bin.
It's like, yeah, it's like.
Great, great.
I love it.
So you can throw whatever rubbish you want to put in there,
but you know what?
It is like the wheelie bin.
It just goes, it's gone.
And once the wheelie bin's been picked up,
Jesus has just picked up your stuff, by the way,
you can't take it back.
The reason I use a tissue box or a God box
is because what often happens is unintentionally,
we pick that rubbish back up.
We go and rummage in the flipping bin
and start picking it back up again.
Hmm.
So the reason for the God box is you leave it
and you are only allowed to think about that thought
or do that thing.
If you think you're bigger than God,
in which case, take a piece of paper out the God box
and have it back.
But the reality is I just use it as a physical idea.
So that's like when you think, no, no, it's in the God box.
No, I've left it with God.
I'm going to do this.
It's a physical thing that just helps you see
or leave it where you need to leave it.
And so, key seven, now's the fun stuff.
We've got rid of the fear.
We've got rid of the dreaded drama triangle.
We've got rid of all that stuff.
We're giving it back to Jesus.
Now I go, come on, Jesus,
what have you got for me in exchange?
And this is about living out valor or courage every day.
But what I want you to consider,
and I want you to write down now,
I want you to ask God,
okay, God,
what are you gonna give me in exchange
for the stuff that I've written down?
What am I looking at?
What can I claim?
What can I hold onto that is noble, right, and true?
What is the love you wanna give me now?
So I want you just to take a moment to write that down.
That's what you're gonna stick on your wall.
That's what you're gonna put on your forehead.
That's what you're gonna put on the mirror
in the bathroom every time, you know,
you go in there, whatever it might be,
that's what you're gonna claim.
So I'll just give you a moment or two to do that.
I want you to do that.
I want you to ask God,
okay, God, what are you gonna give me in exchange?
What am I gonna claim?
What can I claim?
What can I hold onto that is noble, right, and true?
What is the love you wanna give me now?
So I want you to take a moment to write that down.
That's what you're gonna put on your wall.
That's what you're gonna put on your forehead.
That's what you're gonna put on your mirror.
That's what you're gonna put on your walkie-talkie.
That's what you're gonna put on your phone.
Thank you.
How are you getting on, team?
Do you need a little bit more time?
I'm good.
You're good?
Good.
Okay.
So this is now how you walk into your new identity.
This is now your claim.
Has everyone got something to claim?
in exchange. Okay, and how do you feel now sitting on that? Oh,
I think I've just we haven't walked in it yet. So we're just
sitting on that almost like a knife edge. It's like, Oh, got
rid of that. I've got this I've got this that I can now claim as
my inheritance. How are you feeling about that?
lighter? Yeah. It's great. It's not. Yeah, it's like not. It's
just not all my responsibility. And I don't have to. I have to
by myself to begin with, which I know, but I don't always
practice that as well as I should. Right. But it's, he's
always got always there for me. So all these things that I drag
around, it's like, No, that's, that's not even true. So
celebrating you look, I'm going to give you one of God's little
hearts. You know, celebrating you because you're absolutely
right. And he says, Come all who are heavily laden, and I will
give you rest. Because we carry the ball and chain, we carry the
world stuff on our shoulders, without realizing. And it's
like, Oh, okay. And the moment we give back to Jesus, what
belongs to him, it's like, Oh, that's right. My yoke is easy
and my burden is light. So good. Hey, like, it's crazy good.
It is.
I don't know about you. But for me, it goes from head. Because
I didn't ever start in the head knowledge, God bless his heart,
kept me out of church and religion and all that kind of
stuff. So I'm relatively new in this space. And so it's all
heart knowledge for me. And it's like, Come on, get your heart
out, not your head, because your heart will inform your head to
get your heart back out. Let's do this together. Let me let
your heart and my heart be one. Let's do this together. And I
just love the fact that he sews this into our hearts, that then
informs our minds, which is why I wanted you to speak it out. I
wanted you to speak out that you were giving that to God. Because
then you release it, you release it to him. And it tells your
brain, it's God's now not yours. Crazy, a crazy good. Okay, and
then your job now going out from here is to read this to
yourself, every moment of every flippant day that you need to
until it's in that beautiful head, head of yours, it's gone
from your heart to your head. And it becomes your new normal
kingdom normal. Does that make sense?
Yes.
Amy's like, Oh, I need to really think about this. I can see the
expression on her face. She's like, Oh, really grapple with
this. Does anybody want to share what they exchanged? So what
they've given back to Jesus? And then what they've got in return?
Does anybody want to share one of those?
I'll share a lot of it because I also have a question.
Great. Love that.
Um, so, um, some of the stuff God sort of told me was like,
you know, you're beautiful, strong enough, always loved and
never alone. And that also in regards to one of the old habits,
which I'll be vulnerable and brave and self arm. Um, it sort
of left me feeling not so great, because what he had to say about
that was, you know, I live in you and hurting yourself is
hurting me. And I was a bit like, okay, don't know where to
go from that.
What I get straight up, thank you for being so open and honest,
is that how great is your God?
What I love, what I feel or sense he's telling you is to keep
your eyes on him, not on ourselves and our flesh. Keep
your eyes on the Holy Spirit, keep your eyes on God. Because
he loves you, because he loves you, because he loves you. And
that because you love God, you love him.
and you do love him and he's probably the one you love the most. He's encouraging you to
lean into that and lean into him because as you do that he will literally put his arms around you
and those other thoughts will go away. Because you honour him more than you do yourself right now
but he wants to bring you together because you are together, he does live inside of you,
it's actually so intimate and so everything that we do
we've got to realise that if we, our bodies are a temple, like our bodies are a temple
like and I'm still working on that because you know I love chocolate um you know it's like
I you know I've done I've done like I've and it's in that whole journey and eyes for me
is the battle I'm in at the moment. So Amy's battle is in her thoughts and again she'll
see something or she'll think of something and it will take her down an unhelpful route.
I will see a nice chocolate brownie or I will see
some chocolate chip cookies that I've made for hockey and the boys are eating them
and I will see them and go oh I'd quite like that
and God said no you've got to keep your eyes. Where are we going with this? I've given you
and you Amy, both of us, we have already been blessed with the spirit of self-control.
That's not us, it's not in our strength, he's given it to us for us to claim
and it comes from the spirit, not from the flesh, it comes from God, not from earth
and so when we look towards him, when we claim our inheritance, when you claim I am beautiful,
I am chosen, I am loved, whatever you wrote down on your piece of paper that he gave you
in exchange, you have to have it written on your foreheads every time you're going
you know go to the toilet or whatever, you know you go into your bathroom, you can see it
or stick it on your kitchen doors or whatever, every time you have a cup of tea it's right
in front of you, I'm beautiful and you know what, let it sow into your heart, not head, heart
because that will shift your head, does that make sense? But it is scary, it is like and then you go
oh you know every time I eat a chocolate biscuit, I'm disrespecting God, you know or whatever it
might be, you know like and it sounds but it's like actually that's where I'm going to go,
but it's like actually that's where I've got to be, I have got, if I want to be more Jesus like
I need to honour him in everything, not just in some bits but Jesus bless his
heart knows we're all stuffed and so he just takes us one step at a time
and you have been in such a good space, do not let that little flipping toad get anywhere near
you right now, you know you've got so many tools and so many weapons to kick his backside so hard,
he can't even sit here in the country, so use them because he's placed them already in your hands,
so Father God I thank you that Amy shows up, I thank you that she's here, I thank you that you
love her, I thank you that she's chosen, I thank you that she's beautiful and most of all I thank
you Holy Spirit that you live in her and it's you that she can partner with that will give her the
strength, that will give her the courage and actually Holy Spirit what I love most about you
is that you are gentle, you are loving, you are kind, there's no retribution in this,
that's the enemy's plan, it's all about compassion and empathy and love
and so Lord just pour your love over Amy right now, overwhelm her with your love
because just as we're talking about this, perfect love casts out all fear and you enemy can just get
lost because God has got her, he loves her, he's for her and nothing can come against her
because the God in you will always be bigger than anything else that comes against you.
Amen.
Was that helpful?
Yep.
And that wake-up call, actually, that every time we do something that is out of line with
his will, we're disrespecting him, is super helpful.
Use it to help you focus, because that chocolate biscuit in the moment, or that thought in
the moment, you feel rubbish afterwards.
So what he's trying to show us is how to look on the other side, just keep going, just keep
going.
Tune into my spirit, tune into what I've given you.
I've given you self-control.
Make sense?
Yep.
Did you have been on fire?
She walked into church last Sunday like a diva.
She was like, honestly, I was like, who is this woman in front of me?
So what's happened?
You've been putting it out there, you've been taking ground, you've been doing your devotion.
She's done 30 days of, well, she's doing 30 days of devotion, she's on 23 today, and so
he's trying to take you out.
No!
Get lost!
You are the weakest link.
Goodbye.
I'm getting on with the stuff God's given me to do.
Thank you.
Done.
So you just focus on the brilliant things, and I'm expecting the diva to come back in
on Sunday.
No pressure.
Done it once, I'd like to see it again, please.
Honestly, that poor girl, you guys, you know, in the States, in Australia, you can get away
from me.
She's got no flipping hope.
She's up the road.
Everyone else can hide, Amy, you've got nowhere to, you know, God has such a sense of humour.
He's like, I'm just going to put this random woman in your path and with your family, and
you have got no get out of jail free card, because she can see you.
Just as he can.
And he sees you now, look at him, he's making you laugh, I love him.
You know, he sees you, he loves you, he wants you to have fun and embrace life.
So just, no, I'm going this way.
Good lesson.
Okay, anyone else want to share an exchange or something that they've got?
Yeah, go Kerry.
I do have an exchange.
But first, Amy, when you walk into church on Sunday, you know where the cameras are
going to go to the first one.
I want to see you walk it in because I watch that church service.
All right.
You know where the cameras are.
I want to see.
You will see me.
I'm getting up and speaking.
Woohoo!
At the first service?
Yeah, at both.
Oh, isn't that interesting?
Let me see, so you're about to get up on stage again and share the goodness of God.
Oh, and you're having some unhelpful thoughts right now.
Hmm, I wonder what that is.
Oh, oh, that'll be you, you little toad, trying to stop me.
Well, you know what?
You can get lost.
I've got work to do and it's for God.
So out of the way, I'm going this way.
Perfect.
I love it.
Kerry?
Oh yeah, my exchange, it was so involved in the dream, even had a part of it.
So it's just been incredible.
But basically, there was practically one thing that God said, exchange it with this, and
that covers all of that.
It's like, wow, yeah, yeah.
So I said, oh, it was all about my co-creating, right?
You know, co-creating.
He says, you co-create with me, you've got the Holy Spirit in you.
And I looked and I thought, that covers that, that covers that, covers that, covers that.
So yeah, look, it's been a wild ride the last couple of days, because just knowing
how the Holy Spirit is going to activate that creation with me, the creativity.
And I actually, and I hope Dad really saw this, I did see his face sort of just, you
know, he got up and moved over to his chair.
As his mind was going, but yesterday I decided to write a chapter, and without him, because
he likes to use all these software programs and stuff to write stuff for him, and I went,
it's been just driving me nuts.
So I sat there and just started writing a chapter and I said, Dad, come and listen to this.
And even I was wowed. I read it and I thought this was the Holy Spirit, this was not me.
And he's just looking at me, he goes, where did you hear that from? I said, I just wrote it.
And then the dream last night, it was about me writing a book and transcribing.
It was actually transcribing, not just writing, I was transcribing. And I realized,
and the whole, every time I woke up, it was Holy Spirit's doing, Holy Spirit's doing.
And he gave me chapters three, four, five, six, seven, like, but it was not for the book,
but each word, like five was John, like it was just John. But number five means grace and
abundance. And John was the beloved and stuff. So, and he gave me three foreign words.
As well, the chapters and just the whole translation, it was like, I was just mind
blown. I logged on to this and I'm still, I was still sort of like, you know, but this is all
just, it's just all intertwined. Plus the game yesterday, the hopscotch. Yeah, it's sort of.
Having fun.
Holy Spirit, we're on adventures with God because it's fun. It's an adventure. It's exciting.
It's like, what treasure have you got for me today, God? You know, what are you going to
show me today? Because every day is a new day and every day he wants to release something special
within us. But you're right. The key is the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit lives in each one of us.
That's time to go. And what I love about the kingdom and God is it's an inside job.
Because he's inside of us. So it's an inside. It's nuts. And it's like we have nothing can
separate us because he's inside us. Like, it's like, this is crazy. And we still go rushing off
in our own strength. And then I often say God hasn't happened for a while. But he goes, I'm
over here. And I'm like, Oh, okay, I'm coming back. Sorry. You know, like, because I've gone
off doing it in my own strength. And the way that I know, instantly, is as I am I free in what I'm
doing? Is this a pull motivation? Or am I trying to push in my own strength? There's a there's a
real you learn to be aware of that. So but yeah, commissioning, co creating, co laboring, we don't
do anything on our own. We do it with him in all moments. So for Amy, the moment she takes the eyes
off the prize, when she's thinking about other things, that's not co laboring with him. That's
not co creating with him. That's not going on a mission with him that's going on a mission with
somebody else. And so it's and it's literally as black and white as that every time I eat a
chocolate biscuit, I don't know I'm talking about chocolate biscuits today. But every time I go down
that route. I'm not honoring God. I'm not making my body my temple. I'm making my flesh, my idol
unhelpful. Anyway. So yeah, for all of us, whatever it is, it's the Holy Spirit. I love that. So keep
tuning in because he's got you and you are tuning in because he's given you heaps to stay there.
It's great. And Lisa, anything you want to share with us before we wrap this up?
Yeah, one of the one of the big ones for me has been for quite a while is finances.
And so it's just it's remembering who really is the provider, you know, and that I start from
fullness. I don't I'm not trying to get to fullness and I need to get that. So it's also up here.
So I don't have to be going.
And it's like, no, he he knows and he's got all this stuff. And I became a brilliant ambassador.
So I'm excited about what may happen there. And just, you know, who knows what he's going to do.
But it's like, I just need to keep my eyes on him and go it's this isn't about me working harder.
Or because I thought about, well, maybe I'll get a summer job. And then that's just I never have
peace with that. And it's like, no, because what I want to do this summer while I'm off
is get closer to him and just create routines that I also do as school starts again.
Because, you know, when I go back to school, it's like, and but it doesn't have to be like that.
And I love what I do. I get to work with special ed kids and I love it. So yeah,
yeah, it's just putting things in place that will continue as I move through whatever the day brings.
him and I love that I love that you've released that and said actually I'm
gonna give that back to you God because you said you'll be my provider you said
that you would you know and it's lovely you've got so many scriptures about
actually he's gonna provide for you actually you know seek me first and my
righteousness and all things will be given to us including our finance and it
is that flesh you know all of us it's the flesh spirit juggle it's that
tension that we have and so all of us are in our own battles but the battle is
never with each other the battle isn't it's always if we take it upstairs God
will always give us the answers so well done ladies and you know Lisa you know
ice we sit in that financial battle you know I have had to release the business
to God I've had to release things to him you know and so it is it's like okay I'm
just trusting you and you know what I am having the most fun in this season
that I've ever had and for those of us that overseas we can't be ambassadors
it's just for the US so it's great lean into that because you're passing such a
blessing on to people you know the opportunity even if the only thing
people did was have seven days with Graham bring it on you know but that's
it costs nothing but yet if they've got the opportunity to go goodness this is
like a whole new world then they'll lean in they get the blessing and so do you
that's God's double portion which is the minimum so just yeah I encourage you to
and share your testimonies you know Amy's been doing a daily devotional on
her Instagram page or whichever pages they are and Facebook just to share who
your journey share your journey around what Graham does for you or what
brilliant does for you or I learned this today or if I hadn't been in brilliant I
wouldn't have had this connection I've just been on adventures with God or
whatever it is but because what you'll do is when you share it people will
start picking it up and then when you go oh and if anybody's interested you can
get a you know but build the relationship first share what it's doing
for you and then people will start asking you you won't even have to people
will start coming to you how did you end up sorting this out how did you why
are you oh my goodness they'll see the change in you and that change will be
what brings you know what brings it so we just take that I love it we've got
about three minutes just bear with I'll quickly share this so what I would like
you guys to do is just consider out of today's training you know we've just
done how to reflect review recap understanding the dreaded drama triangle
versus the empowerment dynamic because we want the empowerment dynamic putting
the God box getting rid of the old baggage safely rather than dumping it on
other people and getting cross we can give it to God and then exchanging it
letting Jesus fill you up so what activation do you want to do from
today's session how do you want that to show up for you so just put a couple of
things in there I'm gonna read my new declarations that he's just given me
over those situations and I might even print them off to be honest print them
off and put in put by my cup of tea put by the kettle because I'll put them by
the kettle I can read them while the kettles boiling so I'm add immediately
habit stacking where can I put these in my face that I will see them two or
three or four times a day so I can get those reps in so I can just read them
for now and get it plugged in and then again for me some of you know I coach on
evening and morning routines so getting back in you know making sure that I
focus on my evening and morning routine which is where I do the reflection and
stuff like that so just whatever it is for you and then how do you feel now as
you're going out of this session do you feel motivated do you feel thoughtful
you know what is it that you feel I'm a nine out of ten I've got to go and put
my tennis shoes on because that's the next that's the next venue for me
and while you're just writing those in the things I'd like you to remember is
the choices we make determine the directions our lives take and the people
we become you're going to get to make some really good choices today and if
need be keep offloading
the old baggage as it comes up during the day today or tomorrow or whatever you know and place
it where it belongs in the God box. Give it back to Jesus and keep exchanging it for your new
luggage so it can come up all the time but the whole of heaven is available to you. Claim it.
And then for day three we're going to look at, we're going to do a really fun exercise
and I've done it two or three times and it's amazing what God has given me each time it's
been crack up. So what have you got to offer that's uniquely you to the world,
the reason you're on this planet? We're going to find out your zoner genius
and potentially how to achieve more in your school holidays perhaps Lisa,
you know in the next 10 weeks than you did in the last 10 months because there's some
things that we can share and we're to find tribe because that's where we want to stay connected.
So any questions before I pray you guys out and let you get on with the one to three
things you've just put on your list? You're all good? I want chocolate then,
you shouldn't have kept mentioning it. Sorry, sorry, unhealthy. That's okay I'm just testing
you to see how well you'll get on with your flesh, you know the spirit over the flesh.
You just hang out with the Holy Spirit and there's your test for today. You and me both.
Thanks. I love it. So Father God we thank you for these beautiful ladies that have turned up
today and showed up and been able to be here. We bless those that are actually watching the replay,
you know I know Vanessa is going to be watching it, Andy there's a few that are going to be
watching the replay. So Lord we just bless all of those watching the replay but we just thank you,
we thank you for this time together, we thank you for your wisdom, we thank you for your insight,
we thank you that you say do not fear because I've overcome the world and I love the fact that we
don't have to fear because you've overcome the world and you live in us. It's brilliant. I just
think that's nuts. So thank you Lord that you paid in full for all anxiety, all stress, all worry,
whatever it might be and we just release that to you because it's yours, it's your stuff and we
thank you for the great exchange, we thank you for your love, we thank you for your wisdom, we thank
you for your insight, we thank you Holy Spirit for all the fruit that you have given each one of us
that is ripe and ready to go so that we can claim it. So I just say thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you Lord for this group, for these people, for those walking with us and for our families
and I bless each one of them today and always in Jesus name. Amen.
Love you all ladies and we will look forward to seeing you same time, same place tomorrow.
Have fun. God bless each of you. Take care. Bye.
