00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.800
Welcome, friends, to Halftime Shift, Halftime Reset, whatever you want to call it.

2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.200
We're going to go after the next five and a half months of 2025 together as a community.

3
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:22.820
Gentlemen, you will have a chat group after tonight that is titled Halftime, and ladies,

4
00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:27.660
you also will have a chat that is titled Halftime.

5
00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:31.640
So if you really want to be in this to win it, you want accountability, I really want

6
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.140
to encourage you to join that chat.

7
00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:34.420
You don't have to.

8
00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:36.520
You can take what you want from tonight.

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:37.900
You can leave the rest.

10
00:00:37.900 --> 00:00:41.820
But if you want to really go after what we're going to be teaching tonight, which I really

11
00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:47.480
believe that Holy Spirit is speaking to us about this, then we are going to have an accountability

12
00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.420
portion of this, okay?

13
00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:52.500
So I'm excited about it.

14
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:56.580
You guys, yesterday was my half birthday.

15
00:00:56.580 --> 00:01:02.940
So yesterday was my half birthday, and exactly six months from yesterday, I will be 51 years

16
00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:03.940
old.

17
00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:09.460
So I have six months left of my 50th year of life, and we have a little less than six

18
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:13.180
months left of 2025.

19
00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:18.740
I obviously was born in January, and so that's why my birthday and the end of the year coincide.

20
00:01:18.740 --> 00:01:20.320
They're very close together.

21
00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:27.400
And so I have six months left of my 50th year, my jubilee, as they say, although I'm declaring

22
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.760
a whole decade of jubilee.

23
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:29.760
Let's go.

24
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.760
All of my 50s, all right?

25
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.100
But then we have a little less than six months.

26
00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:39.800
I think June 2nd was halfway through the year.

27
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:44.520
All right, a little less, a little less than six months, okay?

28
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:47.980
David taught a really good session a couple Sunday nights ago.

29
00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:49.600
It was called What Do You Want?

30
00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:51.600
So raise your hand if you were there for that.

31
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.560
All right, quite a bit of you were there for that.

32
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.280
That's great.

33
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.680
So we're going to start with the work that you did during that session.

34
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.320
And if you weren't at that session, you can go watch the replay.

35
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:15.400
It's in your replays, but also you can jump in tonight because you were supposed to really

36
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:27.220
be prayerful about what do I want to achieve, accomplish, end, begin, get settled, get past,

37
00:02:27.220 --> 00:02:31.600
you fill in the blank before the end of 2025.

38
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:34.320
That is what you were supposed to drill down on.

39
00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:36.600
It can't be 15 things, you guys, sorry.

40
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:41.660
And I'm just going to tell you right now, if you decide to do more than just a couple

41
00:02:41.660 --> 00:02:47.700
things, to focus on more than just a couple things, you're going to fail at everything.

42
00:02:47.700 --> 00:02:48.700
Somebody needs to hear that.

43
00:02:48.700 --> 00:02:53.100
Part of the reason why you're not successful in life is because you're very distracted.

44
00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:54.260
You're very scattered.

45
00:02:54.260 --> 00:02:56.760
You're very unintentional.

46
00:02:56.760 --> 00:02:58.680
You try to do too many things at once.

47
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:03.460
You pride yourself on being a multitasker, but all you are is a procrastinator.

48
00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:05.700
That's really what it is, okay?

49
00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:08.140
You decide to do all these things at one time.

50
00:03:08.140 --> 00:03:12.620
You start out with a vigor and then you give up because there's no such thing as doing

51
00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:15.260
all of those things at the same time.

52
00:03:15.260 --> 00:03:17.380
There isn't.

53
00:03:17.380 --> 00:03:22.780
So that being said, is it possible that you focus on one or two things that you really

54
00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:25.180
feel like God is highlighting to you?

55
00:03:25.180 --> 00:03:32.040
And then by proxy, a couple other things have tipping points and actually get accomplished

56
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:35.180
as well, sure.

57
00:03:35.980 --> 00:03:41.820
That is the overflow of the work that you're going to do.

58
00:03:41.820 --> 00:03:42.820
That's the overflow.

59
00:03:42.820 --> 00:03:45.460
And so God can do stuff like that.

60
00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:48.540
He definitely can multiply our effort.

61
00:03:48.540 --> 00:03:51.040
In fact, we're counting on it, aren't we?

62
00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:53.220
We're counting on him to multiply our effort.

63
00:03:53.220 --> 00:04:05.260
But I want you to have one to two things, especially if they don't go together, okay?

64
00:04:05.260 --> 00:04:10.620
Like for instance, if you would tell me, hey, I'm really going to work on really getting

65
00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:16.300
healthy and losing weight, those two things go together, right?

66
00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:20.019
So yeah, one's going to be a natural byproduct of the other probably.

67
00:04:20.019 --> 00:04:21.019
And so cool.

68
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:22.019
That's awesome.

69
00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:31.740
But if you tell me that you are going to work on changing careers and work on, I'm trying

70
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:37.260
to think of something that would be big, hairy, audacious, oh, completing a foster care program

71
00:04:37.260 --> 00:04:41.540
and adopting children, I would say, oh, hey, you know, I don't think those two things go

72
00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:42.540
together.

73
00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:45.780
I think that you're probably biting off more than you can chew just for five and a half

74
00:04:45.780 --> 00:04:48.980
months, right?

75
00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:52.100
Especially if you're trying to change careers, because you're not going to look that responsible

76
00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:55.700
on paper to the social service agencies, are you?

77
00:04:55.700 --> 00:04:59.900
You're going to look a little bit tran, a little bit in transition.

78
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.120
which you would be in transition, and that's fine.

79
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.080
Seasons of transition are great, they're wonderful,

80
00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:06.040
as long as they lead somewhere better.

81
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:07.240
I'm gonna say that again.

82
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.160
Seasons of transition are supposed to lead somewhere better.

83
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.040
And so if you're constantly in transition,

84
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.680
but then after the transition's over,

85
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.520
you find yourself somewhere else,

86
00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:20.440
besides where you wanna be,

87
00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:22.640
then that wasn't a transition.

88
00:05:22.640 --> 00:05:25.560
Not, at least not the right kind of transition.

89
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.280
Okay, we wanna be moving forward.

90
00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:29.460
We wanna be gaining ground, not losing ground.

91
00:05:29.460 --> 00:05:30.880
That's really important.

92
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:31.720
But for some of us,

93
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.180
we might have to go back a little bit to go forward.

94
00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:36.980
There might be some things that we didn't do

95
00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:38.580
that God asked us to do.

96
00:05:38.580 --> 00:05:40.460
There might be some things that we didn't deal with

97
00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:42.260
that God asked us to deal with.

98
00:05:42.260 --> 00:05:44.860
And because of that, we're actually,

99
00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:48.060
I don't wanna say behind,

100
00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:50.220
because God can catch you up in a heartbeat

101
00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:51.780
when you come to him in repentance

102
00:05:51.780 --> 00:05:53.800
and finally are willing to do the work.

103
00:05:56.020 --> 00:05:57.680
But just case in point,

104
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.440
I'm coaching a couple right now, pre-marital coaching,

105
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.660
that actually met 15 years ago.

106
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.160
They were actually introduced by me 15 years ago.

107
00:06:12.200 --> 00:06:15.880
And they became really good friends.

108
00:06:15.880 --> 00:06:18.000
We had a friend group and they became really good friends.

109
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.660
They were singles in that friend group.

110
00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:20.760
So they became friends.

111
00:06:20.760 --> 00:06:22.620
They did a lot of things together.

112
00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:26.760
But they never were able to get to the next level

113
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.720
with each other because they kept getting distracted.

114
00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:32.960
They kept running off on other endeavors.

115
00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:35.000
They kept getting into other relationships

116
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.720
that were really unhealthy,

117
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.200
which showed where their heart was.

118
00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:40.780
It was really in an unhealthy place.

119
00:06:40.780 --> 00:06:43.080
And then they would revisit the idea of being together

120
00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:46.920
and then they couldn't get past the obstacles

121
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:47.880
inside of their own heart.

122
00:06:47.880 --> 00:06:49.120
Remember friends, I tell you

123
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.760
that you're never stuck on the outside,

124
00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:52.400
you're only stuck on the inside.

125
00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:54.760
Now I knew from the very beginning

126
00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:56.000
that they were really good match

127
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:57.520
and I really hope to see them together

128
00:06:57.520 --> 00:06:58.960
because both of them are my friends

129
00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:01.160
and I really enjoy and love both of them

130
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:02.700
and I love them together.

131
00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:06.780
But you cannot make people do the work

132
00:07:06.780 --> 00:07:08.720
that they're not willing to do.

133
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.000
And I really want someone to hear what I'm saying right now.

134
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.040
You could be delaying your promises

135
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.000
because you're just really not willing to do the work

136
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:15.840
that you need to do.

137
00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:17.720
And I'm not just talking about heart work.

138
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.040
Although heart work is entangled

139
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.160
and weaved into everything that we do

140
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:23.320
because we're not stuck on the outside,

141
00:07:23.320 --> 00:07:24.620
we're stuck on the inside.

142
00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:27.820
But there's all kinds of different mindsets,

143
00:07:27.820 --> 00:07:29.460
belief systems, programming

144
00:07:29.460 --> 00:07:30.740
that you're not willing to let go of.

145
00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:32.820
So that's more of the heart work and the mind work.

146
00:07:32.820 --> 00:07:36.020
But then also, you're not willing to let go

147
00:07:36.020 --> 00:07:38.700
of certain things that you need to let go of.

148
00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:40.260
You may not be willing to move

149
00:07:40.260 --> 00:07:41.540
when you really need to move.

150
00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:43.900
Your life is not thriving and you know you need to do it

151
00:07:43.900 --> 00:07:46.060
but you're not willing to do it.

152
00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:48.980
And you're just afraid of what's on the other side

153
00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:51.660
of obedience and so you're never really truly,

154
00:07:51.700 --> 00:07:54.540
fully obedient because you're worried

155
00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:55.700
about what's on the other side of it.

156
00:07:55.700 --> 00:07:59.140
You don't fully trust that God transition

157
00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:03.020
because you know that it may be hard

158
00:08:03.020 --> 00:08:06.140
but it's really harder to stay where you are in life.

159
00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:07.540
And I will tell you that these people

160
00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:09.180
could have been happily married

161
00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:11.780
for probably over a decade now

162
00:08:11.780 --> 00:08:13.740
had they surrendered a lot sooner.

163
00:08:15.700 --> 00:08:19.220
And if that sounds kind of scary to some of you,

164
00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:23.500
then so be it because I don't want you to feel afraid

165
00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:27.380
but I do want you to feel sobered by that idea

166
00:08:27.380 --> 00:08:30.900
that you possibly are the thing that's in your own way.

167
00:08:31.900 --> 00:08:34.419
And 99% of the time that is true,

168
00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:37.700
in some way, shape or form.

169
00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:39.460
So really be open to God in this season

170
00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:42.539
because we're having lots of full circle moments.

171
00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:44.500
And I believe that all of you are scheduled

172
00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:45.620
for a full circle moment.

173
00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:47.420
I don't think that it's for just a few people.

174
00:08:47.420 --> 00:08:48.980
I think it's for everybody.

175
00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:50.860
And not necessarily about romance

176
00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:53.780
but about something that when the opportunity

177
00:08:53.780 --> 00:08:56.220
presented itself, however long ago it was,

178
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.540
you just weren't ready for it.

179
00:08:58.540 --> 00:08:59.380
You weren't.

180
00:08:59.380 --> 00:09:00.780
You weren't willing to surrender.

181
00:09:00.780 --> 00:09:02.260
You weren't willing to change.

182
00:09:02.260 --> 00:09:03.940
You weren't willing to take the risk.

183
00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:06.700
You weren't willing to let go or grab a hold.

184
00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:08.700
Whatever it was, you just weren't willing

185
00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:11.020
to do whatever needed to be done

186
00:09:11.020 --> 00:09:13.580
in order to take advantage of that opportunity.

187
00:09:13.580 --> 00:09:16.060
But perhaps now you are.

188
00:09:16.060 --> 00:09:17.260
And here's the thing.

189
00:09:17.260 --> 00:09:20.060
And this is the thing that should sober you.

190
00:09:20.060 --> 00:09:24.780
If you're not willing this time around,

191
00:09:24.780 --> 00:09:26.700
it will come around again.

192
00:09:28.300 --> 00:09:30.140
And the thing that I'm trying to get you,

193
00:09:30.140 --> 00:09:31.820
it won't look the same probably.

194
00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:33.780
It'll be different, maybe different people,

195
00:09:33.780 --> 00:09:37.060
maybe dressed differently as far as on the outside

196
00:09:37.060 --> 00:09:38.220
of the opportunity.

197
00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:43.220
But it'll be the same thing, just in different packaging.

198
00:09:44.540 --> 00:09:46.300
And the thing that I really want for you

199
00:09:46.300 --> 00:09:50.060
and I want for myself is that we would be ready this time.

200
00:09:50.060 --> 00:09:52.220
That we'd be ready this time.

201
00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:54.220
That we would be willing to allow God to teach us,

202
00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:55.420
show us, heal us, grow us.

203
00:09:55.420 --> 00:09:58.340
It reminds me of the story of the spies

204
00:09:58.340 --> 00:09:59.980
going into the promised land.

205
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.540
coming back and they were showing that,

206
00:10:02.540 --> 00:10:06.940
hey, we're not ready for this upgrade.

207
00:10:06.940 --> 00:10:08.600
Because of their language,

208
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.900
because of their mindsets,

209
00:10:09.900 --> 00:10:11.120
because of their perspectives,

210
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.900
there were a few that were ready,

211
00:10:12.900 --> 00:10:15.860
Caleb and Joshua, but the rest of them, they weren't.

212
00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:18.420
They caused the people to not be ready either

213
00:10:18.420 --> 00:10:20.540
because of the rumors and because of

214
00:10:20.540 --> 00:10:23.060
the negative perspective and all the different things.

215
00:10:23.060 --> 00:10:25.500
There was a lot of wandering and

216
00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:29.100
wondering that didn't need to happen.

217
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.340
Because God's promises for you are always going to stretch you.

218
00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:35.800
You're not going to really ever feel ready for them.

219
00:10:35.800 --> 00:10:37.120
Someone needs to hear that. You're really

220
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.000
not going to ever feel ready for them.

221
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.600
If that is why you continue to say no to opportunity,

222
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.600
then you're never going to be any more ready.

223
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.960
This couple that I'm talking about,

224
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.800
it's no less scary.

225
00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:54.320
They're finally ready to do the work.

226
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.840
They're finally willing to do the work.

227
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.660
It's not about ready, they're willing to do the work.

228
00:10:57.660 --> 00:10:59.400
But it's no less scary than it would have

229
00:10:59.400 --> 00:11:01.960
been five years ago, eight years ago,

230
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.520
10 years ago, 15 years ago.

231
00:11:04.520 --> 00:11:06.480
The work that they would have had to do then,

232
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:07.920
they're still going to have to do now.

233
00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:10.000
Do you see how it just doesn't change?

234
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.800
I really want to encourage you that we don't want

235
00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:16.080
to wait for it to come full circle again.

236
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.040
The word for 2025 is full circle.

237
00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:21.040
Regardless of what it looks like on the outside,

238
00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:22.920
I believe that a lot of you are going to have

239
00:11:22.920 --> 00:11:27.660
missed opportunities coming back around for different things.

240
00:11:27.900 --> 00:11:30.180
Once again, it doesn't have to have the same details,

241
00:11:30.180 --> 00:11:32.940
but it's going to be the same promise.

242
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:36.940
And I really want to see you step into it this time.

243
00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:39.020
I want to see me step into it this time.

244
00:11:39.020 --> 00:11:41.780
I'm not just talking to you, I'm talking to me.

245
00:11:41.780 --> 00:11:46.780
And so let's not make God wait on us.

246
00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:51.620
So many people in waiting rooms thinking

247
00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:52.820
they're waiting on God.

248
00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:54.680
It's just really not true.

249
00:11:55.680 --> 00:11:59.160
There's always something ripe and ready for you.

250
00:11:59.160 --> 00:12:02.200
The question is, are you ready for it?

251
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:04.960
Are you ready to take the chance?

252
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:06.880
Are you ready to let go of your ego?

253
00:12:06.880 --> 00:12:08.400
Are you ready to say you're sorry?

254
00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:10.240
Are you ready to forgive?

255
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.180
Are you ready to put the past behind you?

256
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.360
Are you ready to try again, even though you failed before?

257
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.280
Are you ready?

258
00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:22.800
I hope so.

259
00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:27.800
Because I believe that God needs us more than ever before

260
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.760
stepping into the things that he has promised us,

261
00:12:32.760 --> 00:12:36.320
shown us, prophesied over us.

262
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.880
More than ever before, he needs us in those spaces.

263
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.200
Because we can't grow until we get there.

264
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:45.520
We can't start to grow into those things

265
00:12:45.520 --> 00:12:46.800
until we put them on.

266
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:49.720
You know, your daddy has bought you clothes

267
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:50.960
that are a little bit too big for you

268
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.640
because he wants you to grow into them.

269
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.200
And it's important that we go ahead and put them on now.

270
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.240
So we're gonna do that with this halftime shift.

271
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.800
And the whole purpose of this is to help you

272
00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:08.000
take inventory of your life and get intentional.

273
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.320
That's the whole purpose of this exercise.

274
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.760
Let's take inventory of our lives and get intentional.

275
00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:16.880
So here's the very first thing that I want you to,

276
00:13:16.880 --> 00:13:17.720
let's pray.

277
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.600
Father God, I thank you for all of your sons and daughters

278
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:21.440
that are here tonight.

279
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.720
I thank you that we have hearts that are towards you

280
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.640
that really want to step into the things

281
00:13:27.640 --> 00:13:29.600
that you have promised us

282
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.160
and that you have predicted over us

283
00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:34.440
all the way back to our mother's womb,

284
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.160
all the way back to the foundation of the earth.

285
00:13:37.160 --> 00:13:38.800
The stories that you've written about us,

286
00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:41.920
we want to star in those stories in this season.

287
00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:44.520
And so help us to be made willing in your day of power.

288
00:13:44.520 --> 00:13:46.720
Your word says that we will be made willing

289
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.520
in your day of power.

290
00:13:48.520 --> 00:13:51.200
And so I pray God that we'd be made willing,

291
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.600
that we would not allow ourselves to be controlled by fear.

292
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.600
We would not say another time, another day, when I'm ready.

293
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.760
We would not use that language anymore,

294
00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:02.520
but that we would have an urgency to allow you

295
00:14:02.520 --> 00:14:06.080
to mature us quickly as we step into the things

296
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.280
that we do not feel ready or qualified to do.

297
00:14:10.280 --> 00:14:13.120
And so Lord, I pray that a supernatural confidence

298
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.640
would come over your children in Jesus' name, amen.

299
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:18.320
All right, so the very first thing we're gonna do

300
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.360
is we're gonna take inventory, all right?

301
00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:25.000
It's halftime, we're in the locker room.

302
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.400
We're gonna look at the first half of the game,

303
00:14:28.400 --> 00:14:29.720
the first six months.

304
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:30.880
This is what they do in the locker room

305
00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:31.960
if you've never played a sport.

306
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:33.640
This is what we do at halftime.

307
00:14:33.640 --> 00:14:36.000
Yeah, I used to play sports.

308
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:41.000
What we do at halftime or what we do when we're on a timeout

309
00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:43.640
is we go and we get with the coach,

310
00:14:43.640 --> 00:14:44.960
the coach is Holy Spirit.

311
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.040
And we talk about, very vulnerably, you guys,

312
00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:51.960
you have to be able to get vulnerable to do this exercise.

313
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:53.600
Don't have pride, don't have ego,

314
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.560
don't be afraid to admit that you've screwed up,

315
00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:58.080
that you've failed.

316
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.000
that yet have been stubborn, unwilling,

317
00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:10.120
whatever you need to do at this halftime

318
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.200
in order to come out of the locker room ready to go.

319
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.240
And so what we're gonna do tonight, first thing,

320
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.760
is we're going to admit to ourselves, what's not working?

321
00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:21.960
What didn't work the first half of the year?

322
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.120
What's not working?

323
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.360
So when you take a few minutes,

324
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.120
I want you to take a look at your paper and write down,

325
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:36.000
what has not been working for the first half of the game,

326
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:37.840
the first half of 2025?

327
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.560
And here's some prompts for you

328
00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:42.320
that I have written down here.

329
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:47.320
Where did you lose time, money, momentum, clarity, hope?

330
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.200
What areas?

331
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:52.440
You started out the year,

332
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.840
maybe you had some really amazing plans,

333
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.120
but you soon fizzled out in that area.

334
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.360
Write down what that is.

335
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.120
What distractions came?

336
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:02.800
What detours came?

337
00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:05.400
What demonic interference came?

338
00:16:07.800 --> 00:16:10.360
What negativity came that you started entertaining

339
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.200
and started rehearsing?

340
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.560
What dream did you have at the beginning of the year

341
00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:18.160
that's now on a shelf getting dusty somewhere again?

342
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.920
What kind of warfare came to try to blow you off course?

343
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.840
Friends, dogs don't chase parked cars,

344
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.600
they chase moving cars.

345
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:32.560
And so if you're moving,

346
00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:34.360
you're gonna have to expect warfare.

347
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.520
I've never seen a dog chasing a parked car,

348
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.920
barking at a parked car.

349
00:16:42.920 --> 00:16:45.120
They're only chasing moving vehicles.

350
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.080
So where did you lose time, money, momentum, clarity, hope?

351
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.760
What dreams did you have at the beginning of the year

352
00:16:55.760 --> 00:16:58.360
that you started to go after, but now they're shelved?

353
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.600
What distractions or detours or demonic interference

354
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.520
came to make that happen, the shelving?

355
00:17:06.800 --> 00:17:08.520
I'll give you three or four minutes to write down.

356
00:17:08.520 --> 00:17:09.599
Go ahead and really spend some time

357
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.920
with Holy Spirit right now.

358
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.760
Dig in and see what you come up with.

359
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:28.079
And friends, this is not to shame you about this stuff,

360
00:17:53.080 --> 00:17:54.800
this is so we can get a strategy.

361
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.040
Okay, we gotta look at what's not working

362
00:17:58.040 --> 00:17:59.640
in order to come out of the locker room

363
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.200
ready to play the second half of the game and win.

364
00:18:53.080 --> 00:18:58.080
All right, if you have those prompts written down,

365
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.400
then you should be able to go back to this, right?

366
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.400
I wanna keep, for the sake of time,

367
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.160
I wanna keep moving forward here, okay?

368
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.040
All right, so that's kind of step one.

369
00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:25.480
We're gonna take a look at what wasn't working,

370
00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:29.320
what didn't work out, what we gave up on.

371
00:19:30.320 --> 00:19:32.840
And sometimes giving up on something that we had planned

372
00:19:32.840 --> 00:19:33.920
from the beginning is good

373
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.680
because clarity comes before momentum.

374
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.600
If we really wanna go fast towards something,

375
00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:42.160
we need to make sure that that's really what we want.

376
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:43.560
And perhaps for some of you,

377
00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:45.920
you realized that your dream wasn't big enough.

378
00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:48.040
The thing that you wanted

379
00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:51.440
really wasn't the right thing for you after all.

380
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.600
And so letting go of that is fine

381
00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:55.440
and picking up something else.

382
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.360
All right, so that brings us to step two.

383
00:19:58.360 --> 00:20:00.240
What are you still believing for?

384
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.500
Now, you may have let go of some of the things

385
00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:06.700
you started the year wanting to have happen this year.

386
00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:08.660
This goes back to what David taught about,

387
00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:12.860
what do you want, you should have gotten crystal clear

388
00:20:12.860 --> 00:20:14.860
from that Sunday night activation with David

389
00:20:14.860 --> 00:20:19.180
about one or two key areas that you plan to pursue

390
00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:20.420
for the rest of the year.

391
00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:26.540
Health, getting out of debt, your finances,

392
00:20:27.520 --> 00:20:29.320
whatever it is,

393
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.760
finishing that book,

394
00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:39.280
changing careers.

395
00:20:39.280 --> 00:20:41.160
You're like, can I change careers in six months?

396
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.040
Yeah, you can, you can actually.

397
00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:46.720
For some of you that are retired,

398
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.200
it could be starting a new career,

399
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:50.980
refiring yourself instead of retiring yourself.

400
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.160
So because we were supposed to already have this work done,

401
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.160
I would like to just go ahead and see in the chat

402
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.320
what those one to two key areas are.

403
00:21:03.320 --> 00:21:05.220
Remember, we don't want more than two.

404
00:21:06.800 --> 00:21:08.600
You're not gonna accomplish more than two

405
00:21:08.600 --> 00:21:11.880
unless it's just by proxy and God allows those birds

406
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.800
to be all killed with one stone, all right?

407
00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:25.280
Emily says, purge stuff and move, love it.

408
00:21:25.300 --> 00:21:27.940
Relocating to Florida and finding a job,

409
00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:30.700
working on a health and taking a couple of classes,

410
00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:34.020
career and health, renovate house at a spot and start,

411
00:21:34.020 --> 00:21:35.420
sorry, that went too fast.

412
00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:37.480
I'm gonna have to pull up the chat here.

413
00:21:40.580 --> 00:21:43.500
Digital marketing business so I can quit the corporate life.

414
00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:46.540
Got it, finance and fitness, health and debt-free,

415
00:21:46.540 --> 00:21:49.060
relocate and find a home, moving,

416
00:21:49.060 --> 00:21:50.660
launching my business, which I did,

417
00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:52.940
work on finishing my training, got it,

418
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.080
start my prophetic channel, go on a date.

419
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:57.520
Go on one date, you just want one date

420
00:21:57.520 --> 00:21:59.000
before the end of the year, Mike?

421
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.440
Retraining into a new career, complete part one

422
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.120
of becoming an independent distributor

423
00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:06.960
for a nutrition company, get out of debt,

424
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.560
financial stability, date, live on my own,

425
00:22:11.560 --> 00:22:14.520
career and love, stop ignoring my health and join a gym.

426
00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:18.160
If you already did it, Jeannie, then you need a new dream.

427
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.400
Heart healing and intentional dating,

428
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:22.460
health, making product for business,

429
00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:24.280
marriage to spirit mate and health,

430
00:22:25.520 --> 00:22:28.600
meeting my spirit mate and being engaged this year,

431
00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:30.080
building community where I live,

432
00:22:30.080 --> 00:22:31.960
purge and finish book rough draft,

433
00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:35.000
getting established in my therapy practice again

434
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.480
and creating my side hustle job,

435
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:39.920
get back to my comfortable weight, finish my book,

436
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:44.000
finish paintings and create book, health and debt-free,

437
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.360
a move back to the city followed by a car accident

438
00:22:46.360 --> 00:22:50.400
four weeks ago, MPT three days a week, feeling discouraged.

439
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.220
All right, you just released confidence

440
00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:54.380
and courage over you, George.

441
00:22:54.380 --> 00:22:56.060
We're glad to have you back.

442
00:22:56.060 --> 00:22:58.380
Health, prioritizing healthy food, exercise,

443
00:22:58.380 --> 00:23:00.420
making room for someone in my life by decluttering,

444
00:23:00.420 --> 00:23:02.380
making space, being open to moving.

445
00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:04.300
All right, these are all really great, you guys.

446
00:23:04.300 --> 00:23:05.140
These are great.

447
00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:06.220
You guys are getting it.

448
00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:07.300
You're getting ahold of it.

449
00:23:07.300 --> 00:23:09.700
All right, now I want you to take that thing

450
00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:13.260
that you just wrote down and I want you to define

451
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.500
what success would look like by December 31st.

452
00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:20.520
If you were able to succeed in doing that,

453
00:23:20.520 --> 00:23:24.600
what would that look like by December 31st?

454
00:23:24.600 --> 00:23:27.480
And I want you to write it in present tense

455
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:29.200
as if it's already done.

456
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:31.800
So I want you to write a little short paragraph

457
00:23:31.800 --> 00:23:36.800
very quickly about you accomplished this thing

458
00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:38.480
that you're putting here,

459
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:40.880
these one or two things you accomplished it.

460
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.940
I want to know what that looks like.

461
00:23:45.080 --> 00:23:46.800
What does that look like?

462
00:23:46.820 --> 00:23:48.780
So for instance, if I'm debt-free,

463
00:23:48.780 --> 00:23:51.100
then I'm no longer using my entire paycheck

464
00:23:51.100 --> 00:23:53.580
to pay bills anymore, right?

465
00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:57.700
So perhaps I have some money in my savings now.

466
00:23:57.700 --> 00:24:01.820
Perhaps I was able to pay off a car or a house.

467
00:24:01.820 --> 00:24:04.260
I just want you to get more detailed with it

468
00:24:04.260 --> 00:24:05.140
than just that one line.

469
00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:06.020
Do you understand?

470
00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:11.260
If getting healthy is your plan

471
00:24:11.260 --> 00:24:12.860
between now and the end of the year,

472
00:24:12.860 --> 00:24:15.680
then maybe you give us what your blood pressure numbers

473
00:24:16.260 --> 00:24:18.500
or your A1C looks like.

474
00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:21.900
That's your insulin or your insulin resistance number

475
00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:25.780
or your glucose number, your A1C.

476
00:24:25.780 --> 00:24:29.100
Yeah, it goes from a 5.9 to a 4.8

477
00:24:29.100 --> 00:24:33.580
or my blood pressure is 120 over 78

478
00:24:33.580 --> 00:24:36.420
or this is what I weigh on the scale.

479
00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:39.140
This is what clothes size I'm in.

480
00:24:39.140 --> 00:24:40.480
Do you guys get what I mean about

481
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:43.740
what does it look like to you?

482
00:24:43.760 --> 00:24:45.800
Because when we say, I want to be successful in this,

483
00:24:45.800 --> 00:24:47.840
I want to accomplish this thing,

484
00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:50.060
what does it look like to accomplish it?

485
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:55.160
Not exactly smart goals, Melissa,

486
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.560
but just what does it look like to accomplish it?

487
00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:59.720
We're not going to get that deep in

488
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.880
because we don't know.

489
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.260
I don't wanna confuse people,

490
00:25:01.260 --> 00:25:03.500
but if that works for you, you can do it.

491
00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:07.040
But for the rest of us, just write a little story,

492
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:09.160
a little paragraph of what it looks like

493
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.660
to have accomplished that.

494
00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:17.160
The Bible says in Habakkuk 2.2,

495
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.400
write the vision and make it plain.

496
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:21.840
And that's really what I want you to do right here.

497
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:46.800
For those of you that may be wondering

498
00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:49.200
what any of this has to do with getting married,

499
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:50.800
it has everything to do with it.

500
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.000
It has everything to do with it.

501
00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:58.000
All the parts of your life are intertwined.

502
00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:02.800
Okay, this is not a sprint, it's a marathon.

503
00:26:11.100 --> 00:26:13.100
You guys don't really have to try to put the paragraphs

504
00:26:13.100 --> 00:26:14.500
up in the chat unless you want to.

505
00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:16.600
I really just want this for you.

506
00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:19.200
Some of you, it may be deeply personal,

507
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:25.500
the actual details of what that's gonna look like for you.

508
00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:27.700
For some of you, you have a lot of health problems

509
00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:29.700
that are being caused by your weight.

510
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:35.500
That paragraph is gonna contain information

511
00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:39.500
about pain being gone from certain parts of your body,

512
00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:41.600
certain symptoms that you're having right now

513
00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:43.000
no longer being there.

514
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:51.000
It might contain information about your credit score.

515
00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:56.000
Your credit score going from here to here.

516
00:26:56.100 --> 00:26:59.500
I just got a little alert on my phone

517
00:26:59.500 --> 00:27:01.800
saying that over the course of this year,

518
00:27:01.800 --> 00:27:04.700
my credit score has gone up 130 points.

519
00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:08.200
Don't say it can't be done.

520
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.100
I mean, I've been debt-free for a while,

521
00:27:12.100 --> 00:27:18.400
but you guys, being debt-free is amazing.

522
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.000
I really highly recommend it.

523
00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:23.800
I really highly recommend it.

524
00:27:23.800 --> 00:27:25.800
It's not as hard as people think it is,

525
00:27:25.800 --> 00:27:29.600
and once again, I believe that when we get intentional

526
00:27:30.800 --> 00:27:33.100
and make a plan, God will order our steps

527
00:27:33.100 --> 00:27:34.600
and he will bless that plan.

528
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:43.700
He's not obligated to direct you or instruct you

529
00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:47.100
until you go ahead and get intentional and make your plan.

530
00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:52.600
Everyone got your little paragraph?

531
00:27:53.600 --> 00:27:55.400
Once again, you could write this prompt down

532
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:56.900
and finish it later.

533
00:27:56.900 --> 00:27:59.700
Right, here's where it gets fun.

534
00:28:01.100 --> 00:28:02.600
Here's where I get excited,

535
00:28:02.600 --> 00:28:05.200
because I'm a very visual person.

536
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:06.400
Anyone else visual?

537
00:28:08.100 --> 00:28:10.200
Anyone else a real visual learner?

538
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.000
Sorry, I have the hiccups right now.

539
00:28:17.300 --> 00:28:21.400
I mean, realistic to be engaged by the end of the year.

540
00:28:22.100 --> 00:28:25.300
I mean, being engaged when you don't know someone yet

541
00:28:25.300 --> 00:28:27.900
and we only have five and a half months left,

542
00:28:27.900 --> 00:28:29.300
it's not unrealistic.

543
00:28:29.300 --> 00:28:31.400
I mean, you could get engaged after only knowing someone

544
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.100
for five and a half months,

545
00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:36.100
or four months, or three months, or two months,

546
00:28:36.100 --> 00:28:40.800
but I would rather see you put in your story

547
00:28:40.800 --> 00:28:44.100
that you want to be in relationship with the person

548
00:28:44.100 --> 00:28:46.600
that you're gonna marry before the end of the year,

549
00:28:46.600 --> 00:28:49.000
because we have way more than enough time

550
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.000
for a love story this year still.

551
00:28:58.500 --> 00:29:01.100
Way more than enough time for a love story this year.

552
00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:07.300
All right.

553
00:29:07.300 --> 00:29:09.500
By the way, friends, I wanna tell you something exciting.

554
00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:11.300
We actually did the calendar

555
00:29:11.300 --> 00:29:14.000
for the remainder of the year for our retreats,

556
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.300
and we're gonna be putting that information up

557
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.000
on my website on the event page.

558
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.400
And so if you go there now,

559
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.400
you won't see an event page, it's not live.

560
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:26.300
We just have it behind the scenes,

561
00:29:26.300 --> 00:29:28.600
but we are going to be putting up those dates

562
00:29:28.600 --> 00:29:30.900
and you will be able to go and mark them on your calendar.

563
00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:32.300
It's gonna be fun.

564
00:29:32.300 --> 00:29:35.200
All right, here's step three for tonight.

565
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:37.700
And step three, I've entitled Picture It,

566
00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:39.300
Feel It, and Speak It.

567
00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:45.100
That is what I've entitled because I am a visual learner

568
00:29:45.100 --> 00:29:48.100
and I love to remind myself,

569
00:29:48.100 --> 00:29:50.200
and that is why the Jesus Cares Board exists

570
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:51.500
and all of you should know what that is

571
00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:53.000
because you all should have made one

572
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:55.000
when you were back in your heartwork era

573
00:29:56.300 --> 00:29:57.600
during the program.

574
00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:59.900
Okay, so my question.

575
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.920
for you is, can you see it?

576
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.960
You just wrote a paragraph of what success would look like

577
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:09.480
if you were able to accomplish your one to two goals

578
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:10.840
before the end of the year.

579
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:16.160
You wrote a paragraph about what it would look like,

580
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.580
but now I want you to close your eyes

581
00:30:18.580 --> 00:30:20.160
and I want you to begin to visualize.

582
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.780
All eyes should be closed.

583
00:30:22.820 --> 00:30:24.320
All eyes should be closed

584
00:30:24.320 --> 00:30:28.220
and I want you to begin to visualize.

585
00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:33.340
Imagine yourself, it's New Year's Eve, 2025.

586
00:30:35.100 --> 00:30:36.300
It's December 31st.

587
00:30:36.300 --> 00:30:39.660
We're about to step over the Gregorian calendar line

588
00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:41.240
into January 1st.

589
00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:46.540
It's a couple hours before midnight

590
00:30:46.540 --> 00:30:49.020
and your eyes are closed

591
00:30:49.020 --> 00:30:51.760
and you're thinking back on the year 2025

592
00:30:51.760 --> 00:30:53.300
as it's about to end

593
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:57.020
and you're thinking about all of the things

594
00:30:57.020 --> 00:30:58.180
that have happened this year,

595
00:30:58.180 --> 00:31:00.260
all that you've been able to accomplish.

596
00:31:00.260 --> 00:31:03.260
I want you to be visualizing that paragraph that you wrote,

597
00:31:04.340 --> 00:31:06.840
visualizing those one to two goals,

598
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.180
what it looks like for them to be accomplished,

599
00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:12.900
for you to have succeeded in them.

600
00:31:12.900 --> 00:31:15.860
Right now, I want you to imagine yourself,

601
00:31:15.860 --> 00:31:17.700
New Year's Eve, 2025.

602
00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:18.620
What are you thinking about?

603
00:31:18.620 --> 00:31:20.500
What are you picturing in your mind's eye?

604
00:31:20.500 --> 00:31:22.340
What are you seeing?

605
00:31:22.340 --> 00:31:23.820
What are you celebrating?

606
00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:26.380
What are you celebrating?

607
00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:29.540
What are you so thankful for?

608
00:31:29.540 --> 00:31:33.140
What are you full of gratitude for about these things

609
00:31:36.420 --> 00:31:37.760
that have come to pass?

610
00:31:41.540 --> 00:31:42.380
See it.

611
00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:44.220
See it, Gail.

612
00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:45.060
Keep your eyes closed.

613
00:31:45.060 --> 00:31:45.900
See it.

614
00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:53.420
George, you can't see it if you're writing.

615
00:31:53.420 --> 00:31:55.320
No one should be typing right now.

616
00:31:55.320 --> 00:31:56.420
See it.

617
00:31:58.020 --> 00:31:59.580
See it.

618
00:32:01.100 --> 00:32:04.100
Be living it in the movie of your mind.

619
00:32:08.460 --> 00:32:09.300
Wow.

620
00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:14.380
Thinking about how healthy you feel and look

621
00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:17.420
and the beautiful dress or suit that you are wearing

622
00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:19.500
that you haven't been able to wear for years

623
00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:22.580
or never thought you'd be able to wear ever in your life

624
00:32:22.580 --> 00:32:24.260
or buy something like that

625
00:32:24.300 --> 00:32:27.080
or be confident enough to wear something like that.

626
00:32:28.100 --> 00:32:29.420
For those of you that accomplished

627
00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:30.820
some kind of creative project,

628
00:32:30.820 --> 00:32:31.860
see it in your mind.

629
00:32:31.860 --> 00:32:33.260
See the painting.

630
00:32:33.260 --> 00:32:34.100
See the book.

631
00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:35.280
See the project.

632
00:32:35.280 --> 00:32:36.120
See the business.

633
00:32:36.120 --> 00:32:37.120
See the thing.

634
00:32:38.620 --> 00:32:39.460
See it.

635
00:32:41.620 --> 00:32:44.040
All right, go ahead and open your eyes.

636
00:32:44.040 --> 00:32:46.340
Now, whatever is it that you saw, your homework,

637
00:32:46.340 --> 00:32:48.420
because remember, we're gonna have chats.

638
00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:49.920
We're gonna have chats in the men's group.

639
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:51.020
You guys are gonna have a chat.

640
00:32:51.020 --> 00:32:53.700
It's gonna be entitled Halftime Shift

641
00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:56.460
and also ladies, you're gonna have a chat too.

642
00:32:56.460 --> 00:32:58.860
I want you to make, not a Jesus Cares board,

643
00:32:58.860 --> 00:33:01.900
but I want you to make a mini vision board

644
00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:05.180
just on the paragraph

645
00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:08.220
and on the visualization that you just did.

646
00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:10.740
I want you to make a mini vision board

647
00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:15.340
that shows this,

648
00:33:15.340 --> 00:33:18.260
shows what you just saw in your mind's eye.

649
00:33:18.260 --> 00:33:20.340
You might've seen yourself driving a new car

650
00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:22.060
because you got out of debt.

651
00:33:22.060 --> 00:33:24.860
You're able to pay cash for a car,

652
00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:26.340
buy a car that you loved.

653
00:33:26.340 --> 00:33:27.980
Maybe you're moving into your new house,

654
00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:29.140
living in your new state

655
00:33:29.140 --> 00:33:30.900
because relocating is what you wanna do

656
00:33:30.900 --> 00:33:32.980
before the end of the year.

657
00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:35.780
Maybe you saw yourself in a new career.

658
00:33:35.780 --> 00:33:37.700
So maybe you put on that little mini vision board,

659
00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:38.900
what you're wearing to work now.

660
00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:41.860
Maybe it's a job where you have to wear

661
00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:43.580
a specific type of uniform.

662
00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:47.420
Maybe it's a job where you have to dress up,

663
00:33:47.420 --> 00:33:48.260
wear a suit,

664
00:33:49.140 --> 00:33:50.180
wear some heels.

665
00:33:53.060 --> 00:33:55.620
Maybe you got a new haircut for your new job.

666
00:33:56.460 --> 00:33:58.940
I want you to make a mini vision board.

667
00:34:01.020 --> 00:34:02.220
And then the next thing I want you to do,

668
00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:05.020
because remember this step is called picture it, feel it.

669
00:34:05.020 --> 00:34:06.420
We were just feeling it.

670
00:34:06.420 --> 00:34:08.699
And every time you look at that vision board,

671
00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:09.699
I want you to feel it.

672
00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:11.820
I want you to take it in.

673
00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:14.580
I want you to feel like it's happening.

674
00:34:16.100 --> 00:34:17.739
Like it's possible.

675
00:34:19.020 --> 00:34:20.820
Like you're gonna end this year

676
00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:22.900
having accomplished this thing,

677
00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:25.699
these things, these two things, these one things.

678
00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:29.380
And then I want you to speak it.

679
00:34:31.020 --> 00:34:34.020
So we're gonna create some affirmations

680
00:34:34.020 --> 00:34:35.300
and I'm gonna help you really quickly

681
00:34:35.300 --> 00:34:36.139
because if I just say,

682
00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:38.860
hey, I want you to speak some affirmations daily

683
00:34:38.860 --> 00:34:42.020
about living out this dream,

684
00:34:42.020 --> 00:34:43.699
accomplishing these goals,

685
00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:44.860
a lot of you won't do it

686
00:34:44.860 --> 00:34:46.179
because you don't know where to start.

687
00:34:46.179 --> 00:34:47.340
So really quickly,

688
00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:50.420
let's do a little sidebar on creating affirmations, shall we?

689
00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:52.780
All right, get ready.

690
00:34:53.699 --> 00:34:55.940
Guys, we already know that God created worlds,

691
00:34:55.940 --> 00:35:00.020
not world, but worlds, universes with his words.

692
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.580
and we've been created in his image, okay?

693
00:35:03.580 --> 00:35:05.500
So when we speak the right things

694
00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:07.880
in the right direction towards heaven,

695
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.680
we reprogram our mind, we align our spirit,

696
00:35:10.680 --> 00:35:13.880
and we activate our faith, we do.

697
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:15.920
Words have power, friends, words are not empty,

698
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:17.840
and that's why you gotta watch your words.

699
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.260
Some of you are actually tearing down your future

700
00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:21.840
with your mouth.

701
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.480
Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

702
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:25.980
Proverbs 18, 21.

703
00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:30.960
Okay, so we're going to create

704
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:32.940
some faith-filled affirmations right now,

705
00:35:32.940 --> 00:35:35.320
speaking about our future reality,

706
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.820
in present tense agreement with God's promises,

707
00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:41.820
and this God-given vision that you have on your board, okay?

708
00:35:43.140 --> 00:35:45.100
So here's how you're gonna create them.

709
00:35:48.220 --> 00:35:49.900
Here's the question prompt.

710
00:35:49.900 --> 00:35:54.900
What do I want to be true by December 31st, 2025?

711
00:35:56.980 --> 00:36:01.140
We're gonna start with the end in mind, you guys.

712
00:36:01.140 --> 00:36:03.420
We're starting with the end in mind right now.

713
00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:05.980
Right now, you're speaking it in faith,

714
00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:08.580
but what do you want to be true,

715
00:36:08.580 --> 00:36:13.500
totally true, manifested by December 31st, 2025?

716
00:36:13.500 --> 00:36:14.900
And here's some examples.

717
00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:19.280
I want to be in the healthiest shape of my life.

718
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:20.900
I said that at the beginning of 2025.

719
00:36:20.900 --> 00:36:23.540
I want to be in the best shape of my entire life,

720
00:36:23.540 --> 00:36:26.100
even though I know I'm 50, not 21,

721
00:36:26.100 --> 00:36:28.820
but I want to be in the best shape of my whole life.

722
00:36:30.660 --> 00:36:33.380
Some of you might say, I want to be engaged to a godly man,

723
00:36:33.380 --> 00:36:36.060
or I want to be in relationship with a godly man.

724
00:36:36.060 --> 00:36:39.320
Gentlemen, you might say, I want to be in relationship

725
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.100
with a beautiful and Jesus-loving woman.

726
00:36:44.220 --> 00:36:46.180
Get as detailed as you want to on that.

727
00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:50.300
Some of you say, I want to be a published author.

728
00:36:50.300 --> 00:36:52.560
A lot of you put a book in your thing just now,

729
00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:53.840
and I've written several books.

730
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:55.320
I have another book coming out,

731
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:57.480
and I know that that's a labor of love,

732
00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:59.840
and it feels so good when you accomplish it.

733
00:37:01.060 --> 00:37:02.600
Seriously, friends, I didn't know if anyone

734
00:37:02.600 --> 00:37:04.000
was ever gonna read any of my books,

735
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.280
and it didn't matter because I did it.

736
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:07.640
I did it.

737
00:37:07.640 --> 00:37:10.040
And even if only one person read it, you know?

738
00:37:10.040 --> 00:37:11.480
My grandma.

739
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:12.560
I did it.

740
00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:15.760
And so you're starting with what you want to be true.

741
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.300
I want this, I want this, I want this, I want that.

742
00:37:19.300 --> 00:37:20.640
And then once you get those down,

743
00:37:20.640 --> 00:37:21.520
write them down really quick.

744
00:37:21.520 --> 00:37:22.560
Come on, let's go.

745
00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:23.900
Once you get them down,

746
00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:27.680
I want you to flip them into present tense,

747
00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:30.480
because we're gonna speak from the outcome.

748
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:33.800
We're gonna speak from the end, okay?

749
00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:37.360
So we're gonna speak as if it's already happened and done.

750
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.640
So I want to lose weight or be in the best shape of my life

751
00:37:40.640 --> 00:37:43.780
turns into I am strong, I am energized,

752
00:37:43.780 --> 00:37:45.400
I am walking in divine health.

753
00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:48.540
You see how it shifts to the present tense?

754
00:37:52.520 --> 00:37:55.600
I hope I meet someone.

755
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.680
Turns into I'm attracting my godly husband or wife

756
00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:03.380
with confidence, peace, and joy.

757
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.040
These are just some I have written down here.

758
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:09.960
Okay, see how we shift them?

759
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:14.000
So go ahead and tell me what your I wants are.

760
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:16.000
Start with the end in mind.

761
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:18.760
What you want to be true by December 31st.

762
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:20.000
And once you have those down,

763
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:23.340
let's shift them into present tense affirmations.

764
00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:29.560
And the way that you do that is you add emotion to it.

765
00:38:31.560 --> 00:38:32.980
You add identity to it.

766
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:40.120
I'm gonna give you a few more examples while you're working.

767
00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:42.420
I am free, focused, and favored.

768
00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:46.000
I'm living boldly and unapologetically

769
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:51.720
in the new career, fill in the blank, that God has given me.

770
00:38:58.160 --> 00:38:59.200
Here's one.

771
00:38:59.200 --> 00:39:03.600
Maybe some of your goals are to break free from rejection

772
00:39:03.600 --> 00:39:07.440
and personality difficulties that are keeping you stuck.

773
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:09.440
So for those of you that are people pleasers

774
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:12.840
or people that are hiding behind the labels

775
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:14.440
that I'm shy and I'm introverted,

776
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.520
maybe this is for one of you guys.

777
00:39:16.520 --> 00:39:18.100
I'm no longer shrinking.

778
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:21.160
I am confident.

779
00:39:21.160 --> 00:39:26.160
I show up as the main character in my life story.

780
00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:28.760
I am the star of my show.

781
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.480
And I'm fully seen, fully known, and fully loved.

782
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.320
Come on.

783
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:36.440
You're the star of your show.

784
00:39:38.460 --> 00:39:40.120
I know as Christians, we're not supposed

785
00:39:40.120 --> 00:39:42.600
to say things like that because that seems like ego,

786
00:39:42.600 --> 00:39:43.440
but it's not ego.

787
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:45.640
God created you to be the star of your show.

788
00:39:47.520 --> 00:39:49.200
You're not taking anything away from Jesus

789
00:39:49.200 --> 00:39:50.760
by being the star of your show.

790
00:39:53.080 --> 00:39:53.920
You are.

791
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:57.220
He wants you to shine.

792
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:00.480
But then after you're...

793
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.400
done after you shine, he wants you to be able to tell people why you shine. That's all.

794
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:14.240
It does not do God any favors if his kids are broke, busted, and disgusted.

795
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:24.000
All right? Ugly, fat, unhealthy, disease-ridden, broke, dumb.

796
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:30.560
For those of you that are parents, would you like for your children to show up in this world

797
00:40:31.520 --> 00:40:36.080
like that? Would you want your kids to show up in this world like that?

798
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:41.680
People feeling sorry for them because they're so pathetic? Is that what you would want?

799
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:49.200
No, you would want your kids to be glorious. You'd want your kids to shine, talented,

800
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:56.480
smart, beautiful, amazing, but also kind and gracious and loving and merciful.

801
00:40:57.120 --> 00:40:59.440
You guys, those are not either ors. Those are both ands.

802
00:41:02.080 --> 00:41:07.280
You have permission to shine. You're not stealing any glory from God. You are God's glory.

803
00:41:08.080 --> 00:41:10.480
The Bible says that the children are the glory of the Father.

804
00:41:13.600 --> 00:41:16.720
And when he says about Jacob, I will not give my glory to another,

805
00:41:16.720 --> 00:41:22.240
he's not talking about Jacob stealing his glory. He's talking about him saving Jacob

806
00:41:22.240 --> 00:41:27.360
because Jacob is his glory. You can't just read the Bible. You got to read the Bible.

807
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:34.240
So many people use that scripture for talented people, people that are singing or doing

808
00:41:34.240 --> 00:41:39.120
something amazing. Oh, don't steal God's glory. Make sure that you get up there and say, oh,

809
00:41:39.120 --> 00:41:42.320
don't applaud me. This is all Jesus. Well, it's not Jesus. It's you.

810
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:48.080
It's you. Jesus made it possible for, by dying on the cross so that you can be

811
00:41:48.080 --> 00:41:52.800
reconciled to your divine identity, but it's you and it doesn't do you any good.

812
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:59.120
Someday you're going to throw your crown at his feet for sure. But in this life,

813
00:41:59.120 --> 00:42:04.960
you have to make sure that you show up as a child of God and the glory of God in the earth.

814
00:42:06.160 --> 00:42:07.600
And that does not make you conceited.

815
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:09.440
And that does not make you conceited.

816
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:17.680
All right. Some of you need to add some real emotion to these declarations

817
00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:21.680
and it's going to feel weird. It's going to feel like you're bragging about yourself and

818
00:42:21.680 --> 00:42:25.760
that's going to be uncomfortable for you. But you know what? You're going to have to get past that

819
00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:28.800
because this is part of the reason why you're stuck.

820
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:33.520
God's not afraid of you saying that you're amazing. He already knows you're amazing.

821
00:42:33.520 --> 00:42:38.080
You're the one that needs convincing, not him. You're the one. Okay.

822
00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:45.600
All right. Then once you have those beautiful declarations in present tense, I am, I have, I did.

823
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:54.960
I feel free, focused, favored. I'm living boldly, confident,

824
00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:02.800
favored. I'm living boldly, confidently. I'm no longer blank, blank, blank. Okay.

825
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:04.960
Once you do that, then let's back it up with the word.

826
00:43:07.200 --> 00:43:11.200
So we're going to anchor these affirmations in scripture to make them prophetic.

827
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:18.560
Now we're going to make them prophetic. Here's Psalm 1 3. I'm fruitful and productive in every

828
00:43:18.560 --> 00:43:23.920
season. I prosper in everything I put my hand to. That's like the Midas touch, isn't it? Everything

829
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:30.160
I touch turns to gold. Now that wasn't good for Midas, but it is good for us, right? That story

830
00:43:30.160 --> 00:43:36.640
didn't end well for him, but Psalm 1 3 says that we can prosper in every season. Here's some more

831
00:43:36.640 --> 00:43:43.920
examples. Philippians 1 6, Proverbs 21 5. I put both those scriptures together in one affirmation.

832
00:43:44.560 --> 00:43:49.840
I have divine strategies and supernatural discipline to finish this year strong.

833
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:59.440
And friends, if you're having trouble finding scriptures to back up your, I am, and I have,

834
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:06.240
and I will, and I did affirmations, then in those chats, you can post them and ask other people to

835
00:44:06.240 --> 00:44:11.520
give you scriptures to help back them up. We're going to work together as a team, as a community

836
00:44:11.520 --> 00:44:22.640
to help this happen. Cool. All right. So here's some bonus tips that I want you to remember about

837
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:31.360
these affirmations. Speak them out loud every morning, speak them before you go to bed,

838
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:38.160
rehearse them. The Bible says, rehearse, meditate on his word day and night, write them on sticky

839
00:44:38.160 --> 00:44:43.040
notes, put them on your phone lock screen. You guys know that you can put anything you want on

840
00:44:43.040 --> 00:44:47.440
your phone lock screen, right? Put it before your face somewhere on the bathroom mirror. So you see

841
00:44:47.520 --> 00:44:53.200
in the morning when you're brushing your teeth, first thing you guys, I used to carry affirmations

842
00:44:53.200 --> 00:44:59.760
and scriptures around in my purse on note cards. I did. It's a real thing.

843
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.960
If you just want to listen, if you're someone who wants to listen to something while you're

844
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:12.440
on the treadmill, record yourself speaking them and then put it on repeat in your own

845
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:18.240
ears while you're on the treadmill, while you're out doing your morning walk.

846
00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:22.960
Record yourself and then listen to yourself.

847
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.680
And remember, you want to do it even when you don't feel like doing it because there's

848
00:45:25.680 --> 00:45:28.400
going to be lots of times in the next five and a half months when you're not going to

849
00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:30.280
feel like this.

850
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:32.720
Faith is not a feeling, okay?

851
00:45:32.720 --> 00:45:35.400
Faith is works.

852
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:38.400
Faith the proof of belief is action.

853
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:39.800
Julio?

854
00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:40.960
Good?

855
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:42.080
Okay.

856
00:45:42.080 --> 00:45:43.880
All right.

857
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:45.440
So we're going to picture it, feel it, and speak it.

858
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.560
You're going to make those little mini boards, those little mini vision boards, and then

859
00:45:49.560 --> 00:45:54.080
you're going to write some affirmations in present tense to back them up and back it

860
00:45:54.080 --> 00:45:55.080
up with scripture.

861
00:45:55.080 --> 00:45:57.400
And we'll help you with that if you get stuck.

862
00:45:58.400 --> 00:45:59.400
Let me see how much time I have left.

863
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:00.400
I have about 15 minutes.

864
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:02.400
We're going to go after the rest of this.

865
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:03.400
Okay.

866
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:05.400
Here's step four.

867
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:09.360
If you don't schedule it, you better scrap it.

868
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:13.680
I have told you guys this from day one of this entire movement.

869
00:46:13.680 --> 00:46:19.680
Don't tell me you want something unless it's blocked out on your calendar.

870
00:46:19.680 --> 00:46:22.560
I've learned that the hard way myself.

871
00:46:22.560 --> 00:46:25.480
You know, we can have all kinds of wishes.

872
00:46:25.560 --> 00:46:27.920
This is not about wishing and hoping.

873
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:29.520
This is about action.

874
00:46:29.520 --> 00:46:31.760
The proof of belief is action.

875
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:38.200
And so if it's not on your calendar, then it doesn't matter to you.

876
00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:42.240
If you've not made room for it, if you've not scheduled it, it doesn't matter to you.

877
00:46:42.240 --> 00:46:45.480
Oh, you know, I'm just going to try to get to the gym every day.

878
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:49.520
You ain't going to the gym.

879
00:46:49.520 --> 00:46:50.520
You're not going to go to the gym.

880
00:46:50.520 --> 00:46:54.640
Well, I got to try, I got to try to figure out to find time for it.

881
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:55.800
You're not going to find time for it.

882
00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:56.800
You got to make time for it.

883
00:46:56.800 --> 00:47:00.760
Didn't you hear that said when you were a little kid?

884
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:03.880
Can't find time, got to make time.

885
00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:05.480
You have to time block.

886
00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:09.400
Friends, you have to time block.

887
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:20.000
If it's important, it will be given space on your calendar, on your schedule.

888
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:27.120
So I want you to create a time block for this every week, every day of the week.

889
00:47:27.120 --> 00:47:30.400
If it's only two or three days, be realistic.

890
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:35.400
If you can't do it every day, can't go to the gym every day, then you have to figure

891
00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:41.200
out how many times do I need to go to the gym in order to be my healthiest version of

892
00:47:41.200 --> 00:47:44.560
myself by the end of 2025?

893
00:47:44.560 --> 00:47:45.960
Is it three times?

894
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:46.960
Is it four times?

895
00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:49.800
And then you have to block it on your calendar.

896
00:47:50.600 --> 00:47:51.600
You're going to have to give up other things.

897
00:47:51.600 --> 00:47:55.440
I don't want any of you to think that you're just going to march right into 2026 having

898
00:47:55.440 --> 00:48:03.960
accomplished a few of your most important goals in 2025 without having to have sacrificed

899
00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:04.960
something.

900
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:05.960
It isn't.

901
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:14.720
For those of you that said, you want to write a book, you guys, I sacrificed a bunch.

902
00:48:14.720 --> 00:48:15.920
I had to give up income.

903
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:17.320
I had to give up a job.

904
00:48:18.160 --> 00:48:21.000
I had to give up going out with friends.

905
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.200
I had to give up a social life.

906
00:48:23.200 --> 00:48:25.000
I had to give it all up.

907
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:26.000
Everyone else is out having fun.

908
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.000
Where am I?

909
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:28.000
Writing.

910
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:29.000
Was it fun?

911
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.000
No, it wasn't fun.

912
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:31.000
It wasn't.

913
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:38.400
And at the end of every day, I was like, ugh.

914
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:43.720
I would read back what I wrote and just be like, this is crap.

915
00:48:43.720 --> 00:48:46.520
Raise your hand if you love The Heart Work, the book.

916
00:48:46.520 --> 00:48:47.640
Raised your hand.

917
00:48:47.640 --> 00:48:48.640
Don't lie either.

918
00:48:48.640 --> 00:48:51.880
If you don't like it, I don't care.

919
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:56.440
I want to see for those of you that you read that book and you got a breakthrough from

920
00:48:56.440 --> 00:48:57.440
it.

921
00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:58.440
You laughed.

922
00:48:58.440 --> 00:48:59.440
You cried.

923
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:04.520
You were challenged in your faith.

924
00:49:04.520 --> 00:49:07.120
So many people kind of unanimously.

925
00:49:07.120 --> 00:49:08.120
Let me tell you something.

926
00:49:08.120 --> 00:49:09.440
That was the first book that I ever wrote.

927
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:11.800
It's the first book that I wrote.

928
00:49:11.880 --> 00:49:20.480
I wrote it in about three months of 14, 15 hour a day writings.

929
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:21.840
Some of you know the story behind that.

930
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:26.280
God told me to stop doing everything else and focus on that.

931
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:27.280
And I did.

932
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:32.520
But I want to tell you, and hopefully this is encouraging to someone, at the end of every

933
00:49:32.520 --> 00:49:38.360
day's writing session, I was like, this book is terrible.

934
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:40.200
This book stinks.

935
00:49:40.200 --> 00:49:42.440
I hate this book.

936
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:46.680
But someone gave me a wise piece of advice, and I'm going to give it to you right now.

937
00:49:46.680 --> 00:49:52.640
Don't re-read it until the whole book is over, done.

938
00:49:52.640 --> 00:49:54.360
Don't go read, don't read it.

939
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:58.200
Just write it and be like, okay, it wasn't that great, but I'm just going to go on to

940
00:49:58.200 --> 00:49:59.800
the next part.

941
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:00.000
When you're.

942
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.560
finished with the entire manuscript,

943
00:50:02.560 --> 00:50:04.400
it's probably gonna be a while.

944
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:06.280
When you're finished with the entire manuscript,

945
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.800
go back and read it from the beginning.

946
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:10.280
And now there's some space and time

947
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:13.620
between what you wrote and where you are now.

948
00:50:13.620 --> 00:50:15.080
And I'm just gonna tell you,

949
00:50:15.080 --> 00:50:18.640
you're gonna read it, you'll be like, this is brilliant.

950
00:50:18.640 --> 00:50:21.360
This is so good, I don't even remember writing that

951
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:22.520
or saying that.

952
00:50:24.160 --> 00:50:26.900
By the way, you guys, I'm announcing the pre-sale

953
00:50:26.900 --> 00:50:29.200
of my new book, Modern Dating Sucks next week.

954
00:50:30.500 --> 00:50:33.040
So I'm gonna announce the pre-sale of it

955
00:50:33.040 --> 00:50:36.280
and you'll be able to get it in pre-sale only from me.

956
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:37.680
I'm not selling it anywhere else.

957
00:50:37.680 --> 00:50:39.760
You'll only be able to get it from me in pre-sale

958
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:40.840
until October.

959
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:43.260
Okay, so that is beside the point.

960
00:50:43.260 --> 00:50:44.940
But for those of you that are writing anything,

961
00:50:44.940 --> 00:50:47.400
and this goes with all creative projects.

962
00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:49.580
If you're writing songs, if you're writing books,

963
00:50:49.580 --> 00:50:51.720
if you're painting, if you're decorating,

964
00:50:51.720 --> 00:50:55.520
if you're, just stay in the flow.

965
00:50:55.520 --> 00:50:59.120
Go look back at the beginning of it later.

966
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.420
Later, painting a picture, drawing a picture,

967
00:51:04.420 --> 00:51:06.800
writing a kid's book, someone's writing a kid's book,

968
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.640
someone's illustrating and writing a kid's book,

969
00:51:09.640 --> 00:51:12.400
or you're writing and you're looking for an illustrator.

970
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:19.080
Do not give up and also do not critique

971
00:51:19.080 --> 00:51:22.600
what you have done already until it's fully finished.

972
00:51:22.600 --> 00:51:25.040
All right, hopefully that helps somebody.

973
00:51:25.040 --> 00:51:26.480
All right, so we're gonna time block.

974
00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:29.160
So maybe if for those of you that are writing or painting

975
00:51:29.200 --> 00:51:32.440
or drawing or decorating or whatever,

976
00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:33.960
you're gonna time block.

977
00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:37.720
I need so many hours a week working on this.

978
00:51:37.720 --> 00:51:40.200
And you're gonna have to give stuff up.

979
00:51:40.200 --> 00:51:42.440
I had to give up a lot of stuff.

980
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:45.480
A lot of time, a lot of fun, and I like to have fun.

981
00:51:47.200 --> 00:51:48.520
It'd be worth it.

982
00:51:48.520 --> 00:51:50.520
For those of you that are looking for a new job,

983
00:51:50.520 --> 00:51:55.520
you're gonna have to time block out specific set of time

984
00:51:56.760 --> 00:51:58.720
where you're gonna be working on your resume.

985
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:00.120
When you're gonna be going

986
00:52:00.120 --> 00:52:01.280
and getting some continuing education

987
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:04.280
so that you have the credentials to get a better paying job.

988
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:06.480
Maybe that's what you have to do.

989
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:07.760
You have to take some classes.

990
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:10.520
Some of you have to re-up your licenses.

991
00:52:10.520 --> 00:52:13.440
You gotta take some continuing ed on license stuff.

992
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:15.440
For others of you,

993
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:19.200
you're gonna have to spend time researching jobs.

994
00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:20.240
For those of you that are moving,

995
00:52:20.240 --> 00:52:22.760
you're gonna have to spend some time researching places

996
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:24.200
to live in that other place.

997
00:52:24.200 --> 00:52:26.240
You're gonna have to block off some time

998
00:52:26.240 --> 00:52:27.860
to go travel to that place.

999
00:52:28.720 --> 00:52:30.520
Go travel to that place,

1000
00:52:30.520 --> 00:52:33.600
get your feet on the soil of that new land and territory

1001
00:52:33.600 --> 00:52:36.120
and start to walk and pray in those places,

1002
00:52:36.120 --> 00:52:39.720
those new states, those new cities, those new zip codes,

1003
00:52:39.720 --> 00:52:42.240
and let God begin to open doors and show you things.

1004
00:52:42.240 --> 00:52:45.080
You may have to take several trips to that new place

1005
00:52:45.080 --> 00:52:47.840
before the doors start opening.

1006
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:55.200
You have to do it, okay?

1007
00:52:55.200 --> 00:52:58.400
So if it matters, you're gonna make space for it.

1008
00:52:59.720 --> 00:53:02.480
You're gonna make space for it, okay?

1009
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:03.920
All right, step five.

1010
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:05.680
You're gonna have to sow into it.

1011
00:53:05.680 --> 00:53:06.960
That's what I have here.

1012
00:53:08.160 --> 00:53:10.760
What are you willing to invest in order to get this?

1013
00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:14.480
All of you are willing to invest in this program

1014
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:19.480
so that you could get into your marriage-minded courtship.

1015
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:22.880
What are you investing in?

1016
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:24.960
What kind of time are you investing?

1017
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:26.600
What kind of money are you investing?

1018
00:53:26.600 --> 00:53:28.640
What kind of energy are you investing?

1019
00:53:31.240 --> 00:53:32.080
What?

1020
00:53:35.600 --> 00:53:38.200
Stop wasting your resources, your time, your energy,

1021
00:53:38.200 --> 00:53:40.480
your money, your bandwidth.

1022
00:53:41.560 --> 00:53:42.840
I know you think you can do it all,

1023
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:44.880
but I'm just here to tell you, you cannot.

1024
00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:46.640
You cannot do it all.

1025
00:53:46.640 --> 00:53:49.000
And I do believe that we can have it all.

1026
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:51.000
I do, all the things that God has promised us,

1027
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.080
I believe we can have all of those things,

1028
00:53:53.080 --> 00:53:55.760
but we probably can't have it all.

1029
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:58.840
We probably can't have them all at the same time,

1030
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:02.080
meaning that there are some dreams that will have to die

1031
00:54:02.080 --> 00:54:03.840
and you will have to let go of

1032
00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:05.760
because their time has expired

1033
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:09.440
in order for you to actualize new dreams.

1034
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:13.640
New beginnings require endings, and that's a true story.

1035
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:17.080
Can't have it all at the same time.

1036
00:54:19.080 --> 00:54:19.920
Cannot.

1037
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:23.560
I loved raising my children, but friends,

1038
00:54:23.560 --> 00:54:26.040
I had to give up a lot to raise my children.

1039
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.120
There are a lot of people that don't give up anything,

1040
00:54:30.120 --> 00:54:31.200
and you know what they don't do?

1041
00:54:31.200 --> 00:54:34.400
They don't raise their children, someone else does.

1042
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:35.560
School systems do.

1043
00:54:36.520 --> 00:54:38.880
Their friends of their children's parents do,

1044
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:42.120
coaches do, other people around.

1045
00:54:42.120 --> 00:54:43.560
And then they grow up and they wonder

1046
00:54:43.560 --> 00:54:45.360
why their kids are not close to them,

1047
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:47.920
why their kids don't wanna be around

1048
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:50.160
because you didn't invest any time in your kids.

1049
00:54:50.160 --> 00:54:51.680
And I'm not here to shame you,

1050
00:54:52.640 --> 00:54:55.840
but I am here to tell you that it's not too late

1051
00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:57.120
if one of the things that you want

1052
00:54:57.120 --> 00:54:59.720
before the end of the year is a vibrant relationship.

1053
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.200
with your children and grandchildren, you can have it,

1054
00:55:02.200 --> 00:55:04.520
but you're going to have to really invest.

1055
00:55:06.520 --> 00:55:09.880
You're gonna have to invest the time and the energy

1056
00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:13.120
that you didn't invest when they were growing up.

1057
00:55:13.120 --> 00:55:14.720
After the divorce, you ran off

1058
00:55:14.720 --> 00:55:18.040
and tried to do your own thing, meet a man, meet a woman.

1059
00:55:18.040 --> 00:55:21.640
You're out trying to medicate your own wounds,

1060
00:55:21.640 --> 00:55:23.120
trying to make double the money

1061
00:55:23.120 --> 00:55:25.240
because there's only one income now,

1062
00:55:25.240 --> 00:55:29.360
but you made those choices

1063
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:31.520
and you may have thought they were the right ones

1064
00:55:31.520 --> 00:55:34.440
at the time, but here's the truth.

1065
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:38.320
The truth is, is that your children

1066
00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:44.880
want to see you invest your time and your energy,

1067
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:47.920
your money, your emotional bandwidth into them.

1068
00:55:49.240 --> 00:55:51.040
Those years were really hard for me, you guys.

1069
00:55:51.040 --> 00:55:52.880
I'm a high capacity woman

1070
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:55.840
and I always knew that I was called to do great things.

1071
00:55:55.840 --> 00:55:57.320
I always knew that I was called to minister

1072
00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:00.240
and speak and write and do all kinds of things,

1073
00:56:00.240 --> 00:56:01.960
but my kids needed my full attention.

1074
00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:04.080
They'd already been through a divorce.

1075
00:56:04.080 --> 00:56:04.920
They were young.

1076
00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:06.520
They were six, nine, and 11 years old

1077
00:56:06.520 --> 00:56:08.360
and they needed my attention.

1078
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:11.640
And I reluctantly at first gave it to them,

1079
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:14.080
reluctantly at first.

1080
00:56:14.080 --> 00:56:17.000
I tried my best to lean into that.

1081
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.080
And I can tell you now, all three of my children

1082
00:56:20.080 --> 00:56:22.000
have chosen amazing partners.

1083
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:24.720
They're all super healthy and happy

1084
00:56:24.720 --> 00:56:28.120
and well situated and talented

1085
00:56:28.120 --> 00:56:31.080
and walking in their identities in Christ.

1086
00:56:31.080 --> 00:56:33.680
And they absolutely adore me and David.

1087
00:56:33.680 --> 00:56:34.800
They want to be around us

1088
00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:37.160
more than they want to be around anybody.

1089
00:56:37.160 --> 00:56:39.400
They're stuck like glue to us

1090
00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:41.440
and not in a codependent way.

1091
00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:42.680
And you know what?

1092
00:56:42.680 --> 00:56:45.520
All those years of sacrifice, worth it.

1093
00:56:48.040 --> 00:56:50.720
And I'm still young and I can do all the things.

1094
00:56:51.640 --> 00:56:53.320
And so if you didn't do that,

1095
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:54.920
I want you to repent of that now

1096
00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:59.080
and ask God to accelerate your relationship

1097
00:56:59.080 --> 00:57:01.200
with your children so that it doesn't take

1098
00:57:02.080 --> 00:57:03.440
15 years of raising them

1099
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:04.800
because you don't have that anymore.

1100
00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:05.920
They're raised.

1101
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:08.800
But God is able to accelerate that healing

1102
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:11.000
and that bonding so that you can have

1103
00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:12.800
the rest of your lives together.

1104
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:14.760
All right?

1105
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:16.640
But they're going to want to see you invest

1106
00:57:16.640 --> 00:57:18.880
in them, in their children.

1107
00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:22.440
If you're still too distracted all about your own stuff,

1108
00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:23.280
forget it.

1109
00:57:24.240 --> 00:57:25.560
They're not going to give you a chance.

1110
00:57:25.560 --> 00:57:28.520
They need to see you investing and sacrificing for them.

1111
00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:33.680
It can't be all about you.

1112
00:57:33.680 --> 00:57:35.240
I already told you that you're the main character

1113
00:57:35.240 --> 00:57:37.840
of your story, but don't be a main character.

1114
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:38.840
You know what that means?

1115
00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:40.920
Main character, personality.

1116
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:45.640
When we're shallow and selfish, we don't want that.

1117
00:57:45.640 --> 00:57:47.280
Yes, you're the star of your story,

1118
00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:48.440
but make sure that your story

1119
00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:50.200
is about loving and serving others.

1120
00:57:50.600 --> 00:57:52.880
Let's just put a little thing in there.

1121
00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:53.720
Okay.

1122
00:57:57.040 --> 00:57:58.440
I have this down here.

1123
00:57:59.400 --> 00:58:02.400
What do you need to stop wasting your resources on?

1124
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:03.960
What do you need to stop wasting your time

1125
00:58:03.960 --> 00:58:05.520
and your energy and your bandwidth on?

1126
00:58:05.520 --> 00:58:09.800
Because you're not getting a harvest back from that.

1127
00:58:11.120 --> 00:58:13.000
If you stop wasting your resources

1128
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:14.360
on whatever that thing is,

1129
00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:17.760
then you can have more resources to sow into other stuff.

1130
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:19.240
So go ahead and think about that for a second.

1131
00:58:19.240 --> 00:58:21.160
What am I wasting my resources on?

1132
00:58:22.160 --> 00:58:27.160
Time, energy, finances, emotional bandwidth, talents.

1133
00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:35.120
Marsh is on it.

1134
00:58:35.120 --> 00:58:37.360
She's like social media.

1135
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:39.000
I'm wasting my time on that.

1136
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:42.520
Social media, y'all.

1137
00:58:42.520 --> 00:58:43.520
God help us.

1138
00:58:44.520 --> 00:58:48.000
And you guys, AI is so rampant on social media.

1139
00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:51.240
The stories and all the things, the videos are not real,

1140
00:58:51.240 --> 00:58:53.840
and it's so bizarre.

1141
00:58:53.840 --> 00:58:57.440
I have seen so many heartbreaking, fake news,

1142
00:58:57.440 --> 00:58:59.520
AI stories about the floods in Texas

1143
00:58:59.520 --> 00:59:01.480
and about children being rescued alive

1144
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:04.320
and all kinds of stuff that just simply is not reality.

1145
00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:07.280
And it has caused so many people to have hope

1146
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:10.880
in things that are just absolutely not accurate.

1147
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:11.760
It's really scary.

1148
00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:15.560
And a lot of people just don't know how to recognize that.

1149
00:59:15.560 --> 00:59:19.360
So they think it's real and it's bad.

1150
00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:22.320
All right, so get honest with yourself

1151
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:26.200
about where you're wasting your stuff.

1152
00:59:26.200 --> 00:59:28.000
Let's stop wasting.

1153
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:29.200
Let's not be wasteful.

1154
00:59:31.160 --> 00:59:33.320
We wanna sow into things that are fruitful.

1155
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:36.600
We wanna sow into things that are not fruitful.

1156
00:59:36.600 --> 00:59:38.600
We wanna sow into things that are fruitful.

1157
00:59:38.640 --> 00:59:41.200
We wanna sow into things that are fruitful.

1158
00:59:41.200 --> 00:59:44.520
You can't harvest from a field that you never sowed into.

1159
00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:49.280
Kind of, I mean, you kind of can.

1160
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:53.080
The Bible has promised us that if we focus

1161
00:59:55.880 --> 00:59:58.240
and are intentional and are obedient

1162
00:59:58.240 --> 01:00:00.240
to what God is telling us to do.

1163
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.040
Then we can be in alignment with a transfer of wealth.

1164
01:00:04.040 --> 01:00:10.000
You can harvest vineyards that you didn't plant, live in houses that you didn't build.

1165
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:11.520
I believe that.

1166
01:00:11.520 --> 01:00:12.640
I do.

1167
01:00:12.640 --> 01:00:14.480
But we have to sow somewhere.

1168
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:16.500
So let's be sowing.

1169
01:00:16.500 --> 01:00:21.400
If we want Amos 9.13 to happen where the reaper overtakes the sower and there's a perpetual

1170
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:27.000
suddenly season of harvest, we've got to be sowing our time, our energy, our talents,

1171
01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:28.000
all the things.

1172
01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:29.000
Okay.

1173
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:37.200
Number six, we want to take immediate and imperfect action, friends.

1174
01:00:37.200 --> 01:00:40.040
Fire shoot aim.

1175
01:00:40.040 --> 01:00:44.640
Not, not, what is it?

1176
01:00:44.640 --> 01:00:46.120
Shoot aim fire or whatever.

1177
01:00:46.120 --> 01:00:47.120
No.

1178
01:00:47.120 --> 01:00:48.120
The opposite.

1179
01:00:48.120 --> 01:00:49.200
The other way around.

1180
01:00:49.200 --> 01:00:51.080
You want to go ahead and take imperfect action.

1181
01:00:51.080 --> 01:00:55.400
Sorry, I feel like I'm screaming, but the air in my daughter's house, I'm at my daughter's

1182
01:00:55.400 --> 01:00:57.000
is really loud.

1183
01:00:57.240 --> 01:00:58.480
All right.

1184
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:04.680
So I want you to think of one thing that you can do even before you go to bed tonight,

1185
01:01:04.680 --> 01:01:14.240
they can start moving this promise forward either tonight or tomorrow morning.

1186
01:01:14.240 --> 01:01:23.240
Send the email, do the research, make the phone call.

1187
01:01:23.240 --> 01:01:24.240
Don't wait to feel the motivation.

1188
01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:27.800
Hopefully you feel motivation from tonight's talk, but you might not.

1189
01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:29.760
So go ahead and move.

1190
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:31.560
Just make a decision.

1191
01:01:31.560 --> 01:01:32.720
Do it.

1192
01:01:32.720 --> 01:01:35.040
Do it.

1193
01:01:35.040 --> 01:01:37.560
People often ask me, Jackie, you know, how do you accomplish so much?

1194
01:01:37.560 --> 01:01:38.720
Like, how are you successful?

1195
01:01:38.720 --> 01:01:46.240
I just do it, just do it.

1196
01:01:46.240 --> 01:01:47.240
Sometimes it doesn't work out.

1197
01:01:47.240 --> 01:01:48.240
That's okay.

1198
01:01:48.240 --> 01:01:50.520
That's why it's called imperfect action.

1199
01:01:50.520 --> 01:01:52.800
I just learned one way not to do it.

1200
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:54.400
And then I don't do it like that the next time.

1201
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:58.040
I just do it a different way.

1202
01:01:58.040 --> 01:01:59.400
Do it.

1203
01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:00.560
You don't need permission from God.

1204
01:02:00.560 --> 01:02:02.520
He already gave you permission.

1205
01:02:02.520 --> 01:02:03.560
You already have permission.

1206
01:02:03.560 --> 01:02:05.000
You're pre-approved.

1207
01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:09.720
You're pre-approved, okay?

1208
01:02:09.720 --> 01:02:10.720
I wrote this.

1209
01:02:10.720 --> 01:02:11.720
I wrote this.

1210
01:02:11.720 --> 01:02:15.240
This is in my notes and I want to speak it over you and I want you to write it down.

1211
01:02:15.240 --> 01:02:17.000
Action breaks intimidation.

1212
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:22.840
If you're intimidated to start, taking action will break that intimidation off of you.

1213
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:25.760
Even the smallest action.

1214
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:31.680
And then the other part of that is action activates favor.

1215
01:02:31.680 --> 01:02:39.280
Remember, God will order our steps when we make a plan, when we start moving.

1216
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:42.640
Don't just make the plan, activate the plan.

1217
01:02:42.640 --> 01:02:44.340
All right.

1218
01:02:44.340 --> 01:02:53.100
Step seven, protect the process.

1219
01:02:53.100 --> 01:02:55.300
I want you to think about the first half of this year.

1220
01:02:55.300 --> 01:02:58.500
Some of you have already been trying to get this accomplished in the first six months

1221
01:02:58.500 --> 01:03:00.180
and you weren't able to.

1222
01:03:00.180 --> 01:03:03.660
You made very little progress or maybe no progress and I want you to get honest with

1223
01:03:03.660 --> 01:03:11.020
yourself and ask yourself what or who has been derailing you.

1224
01:03:11.020 --> 01:03:16.860
It might be you derailing you and your own bad mindsets, your own guilt and shame and

1225
01:03:16.860 --> 01:03:18.220
beat yourself up.

1226
01:03:18.220 --> 01:03:21.260
I told someone today, they wanted advice about something.

1227
01:03:21.260 --> 01:03:24.780
They're always asking me for advice and they wanted advice about something that they were

1228
01:03:24.780 --> 01:03:28.040
dealing with, some intrusive thoughts that they were having.

1229
01:03:28.040 --> 01:03:33.380
And I just straight up told them, why are you trying to find something wrong with yourself?

1230
01:03:33.380 --> 01:03:34.380
And they're like, what?

1231
01:03:34.380 --> 01:03:37.580
I was like, why can't you just be happy?

1232
01:03:37.580 --> 01:03:42.300
I said, every time your life is going good and you're liking your life and you're making

1233
01:03:42.300 --> 01:03:50.380
progress and you're getting momentum, you find a reason to punish yourself for something,

1234
01:03:50.380 --> 01:03:54.420
to find something wrong with yourself, to have intrusive thoughts that you feel guilty

1235
01:03:54.420 --> 01:03:55.420
about.

1236
01:03:55.420 --> 01:04:00.580
Or I was like, why can't you just enjoy your life?

1237
01:04:00.580 --> 01:04:01.860
And for some of you, that's true.

1238
01:04:01.860 --> 01:04:03.220
You're derailing you.

1239
01:04:03.220 --> 01:04:04.720
You won't allow yourself to be happy.

1240
01:04:04.720 --> 01:04:10.240
You're not going to allow yourself to accomplish these goals because you hate yourself and

1241
01:04:10.240 --> 01:04:12.920
you hate yourself because of shame.

1242
01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:19.840
You hate yourself because of things that you've been through that now you have taken on yourself.

1243
01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:21.440
They might've been done to you.

1244
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:30.560
Maybe you did them, but you haven't forgiven yourself and, or you have reframed the problem

1245
01:04:30.560 --> 01:04:36.960
as you being the problem instead of allowing it to be other people's, in other people's

1246
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:37.960
court.

1247
01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:44.880
You're just punishing yourself because of shame.

1248
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:45.880
Can't do this.

1249
01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:52.680
You're not going to be successful if you don't believe that you're allowed to be successful.

1250
01:04:52.680 --> 01:04:54.320
And for some of you, this is very, very true.

1251
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:55.320
All right.

1252
01:04:55.320 --> 01:04:59.920
So identify your biggest distraction, your biggest self-sabotage.

1253
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.060
Some of you, and I did a Supernatural Saturday about this,

1254
01:05:03.060 --> 01:05:05.240
probably like two months ago,

1255
01:05:05.240 --> 01:05:08.820
but as soon as you start getting some momentum,

1256
01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:14.040
things start happening that are derailing you,

1257
01:05:14.040 --> 01:05:15.780
and they're always the same things.

1258
01:05:17.200 --> 01:05:20.000
You start getting sick.

1259
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:21.640
You're like, well, I can't control getting sick.

1260
01:05:21.640 --> 01:05:23.200
Yeah, you can.

1261
01:05:23.200 --> 01:05:24.080
Yeah, you can.

1262
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:26.920
If there's a pattern of you getting sick

1263
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:28.040
and having health problems

1264
01:05:28.040 --> 01:05:29.800
every time that you start to gain momentum

1265
01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:31.600
in your life, that's demonic.

1266
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:37.120
There's something tied to that.

1267
01:05:37.120 --> 01:05:38.500
That's not a coincidence.

1268
01:05:40.120 --> 01:05:42.000
And maybe you're not even really truly getting sick.

1269
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:44.020
Maybe you're just worrying about getting sick.

1270
01:05:44.020 --> 01:05:46.800
Maybe you're all of a sudden focusing on that knee pain

1271
01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:48.240
that you've had for 20 years now,

1272
01:05:48.240 --> 01:05:49.480
but all of a sudden you're like,

1273
01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:51.560
oh, I think it's something really bad.

1274
01:05:51.560 --> 01:05:53.740
No, you're just self-sabotaging.

1275
01:05:57.080 --> 01:05:59.160
You're just self-sabotaging.

1276
01:05:59.200 --> 01:06:00.600
Every time you start to gain momentum,

1277
01:06:00.600 --> 01:06:02.360
you have financial problems.

1278
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:03.400
You have car problems.

1279
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:05.200
You have relationship problems.

1280
01:06:05.200 --> 01:06:07.240
Every time things are peaceful and going well,

1281
01:06:07.240 --> 01:06:08.680
you pick a fight with someone.

1282
01:06:08.680 --> 01:06:11.960
You get into some big, hairy, nasty,

1283
01:06:12.840 --> 01:06:15.480
offense-laden situation with somebody.

1284
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:19.080
It's a pattern.

1285
01:06:20.900 --> 01:06:23.660
So let's identify those self-sabotaging patterns, friends,

1286
01:06:23.660 --> 01:06:24.920
and let's cut them off.

1287
01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:25.800
Let's do the hard work.

1288
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:27.160
Let's get down to the root.

1289
01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:31.400
All right, the other way we're going to protect the process

1290
01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:32.960
is with accountability.

1291
01:06:32.960 --> 01:06:37.160
In that chat, we're going to hold each other accountable.

1292
01:06:37.160 --> 01:06:39.920
You guys, please don't over-coach each other in those chats.

1293
01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:41.200
Don't offend each other.

1294
01:06:41.200 --> 01:06:44.760
Don't give people unsolicited coaching advice.

1295
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:46.520
If you really want to tell someone something,

1296
01:06:46.520 --> 01:06:50.760
start out with, hey, I think I see something here.

1297
01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:52.760
You know, would you mind if I shared?

1298
01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:55.320
You know, do you want to, you know,

1299
01:06:55.320 --> 01:06:56.400
would you like me to share?

1300
01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:57.720
Would it be okay if I shared?

1301
01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:00.080
And if it's not the kind of advice or feedback

1302
01:07:00.080 --> 01:07:01.600
that you would want to get publicly,

1303
01:07:01.600 --> 01:07:03.520
then don't give it to them publicly.

1304
01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:07.960
If it would embarrass you to get that in a group chat,

1305
01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:10.320
then it would probably embarrass them too.

1306
01:07:15.520 --> 01:07:16.360
Okay?

1307
01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:18.600
Okay.

1308
01:07:21.600 --> 01:07:22.440
Okay.

1309
01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:25.280
Okay.

1310
01:07:28.200 --> 01:07:29.320
I learned this years ago.

1311
01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:31.680
God spoke this to me and I'm going to speak it over you.

1312
01:07:31.680 --> 01:07:33.600
The enemy of your dream

1313
01:07:36.160 --> 01:07:37.480
is distraction.

1314
01:07:41.080 --> 01:07:43.480
It's not the devil.

1315
01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:44.560
Okay?

1316
01:07:44.560 --> 01:07:46.800
The enemy of your dream is not failure.

1317
01:07:46.800 --> 01:07:49.040
In fact, you're going to have to fail to succeed.

1318
01:07:49.040 --> 01:07:50.520
So expect it.

1319
01:07:50.520 --> 01:07:51.840
Get up and try again.

1320
01:07:53.280 --> 01:07:57.520
The enemy of your dreams and goals is distraction.

1321
01:07:58.280 --> 01:07:59.120
I want you to say it.

1322
01:07:59.120 --> 01:07:59.960
Distraction is my enemy.

1323
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:02.480
Distraction is my enemy.

1324
01:08:04.600 --> 01:08:06.960
Whatever distracts me and tries to keep me

1325
01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:09.240
from staying focused is my enemy.

1326
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:12.800
All right.

1327
01:08:14.200 --> 01:08:16.880
Step eight, last step.

1328
01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:21.640
Repeat the dream, the goal, daily.

1329
01:08:21.840 --> 01:08:22.680
Daily.

1330
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:27.640
Build a daily shift ritual.

1331
01:08:27.640 --> 01:08:29.439
You want a daily shift ritual.

1332
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:34.279
So I'm going to have a five minute check-in in the morning.

1333
01:08:34.279 --> 01:08:36.439
Do it again before you go to bed if you need to.

1334
01:08:36.439 --> 01:08:37.399
What are you doing right there?

1335
01:08:37.399 --> 01:08:38.640
Your affirmations.

1336
01:08:40.120 --> 01:08:41.279
Those are your affirmations.

1337
01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:42.880
That's what you're going to do right there.

1338
01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:44.520
You're going to speak the vision.

1339
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:47.080
You're going to touch the plan.

1340
01:08:47.080 --> 01:08:48.800
If it's written in a journal, you're going to look at it.

1341
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:51.600
If you made a little mini board, you're going to look at it.

1342
01:08:52.439 --> 01:08:53.279
You're going to visualize.

1343
01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:57.240
You're going to reconnect to the why behind the what

1344
01:08:57.240 --> 01:08:58.680
every single day.

1345
01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:03.920
You're going to stay anchored, stay connected.

1346
01:09:05.680 --> 01:09:06.800
Pray over it.

1347
01:09:08.080 --> 01:09:09.680
Let God show you what you can't see.

1348
01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:11.479
Teach me, show me, heal me, grow me.

1349
01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.080
God renews our mind through repetition, friends.

1350
01:09:15.080 --> 01:09:16.359
Romans 12 too.

1351
01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:19.319
It comes by reputation.

1352
01:09:19.319 --> 01:09:21.040
That's how God renews our mind.

1353
01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:23.600
Manifestation of promise.

1354
01:09:29.760 --> 01:09:30.880
All right.

1355
01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:32.800
Those are all eight of our steps.

1356
01:09:34.200 --> 01:09:36.960
They're not hard, they all build on each other.

1357
01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:38.120
They all go together.

1358
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:42.080
We can do this, we can achieve.

1359
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.000
We can, we can achieve these goals, these dreams.

1360
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:50.439
We can step into this manifestation of promises

1361
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:51.279
and breakthrough.

1362
01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:52.640
We can do it.

1363
01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:56.160
I told someone today, one of my private clients,

1364
01:09:56.160 --> 01:09:58.760
I told them they wanted to...

1365
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:02.240
They wanted to get back on the apps.

1366
01:10:02.240 --> 01:10:04.080
I wanna say something that I know is gonna offend

1367
01:10:04.080 --> 01:10:05.600
a lot of you, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it.

1368
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:10.600
70% of adults are meeting their spirit mate on an app, 70%.

1369
01:10:12.320 --> 01:10:15.340
I know you don't like that, I know you hate the apps.

1370
01:10:15.340 --> 01:10:16.960
And I'm not telling you to get on the apps.

1371
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:18.620
Please do not make this part of your plan

1372
01:10:18.620 --> 01:10:19.740
if it's not part of your plan.

1373
01:10:19.740 --> 01:10:23.360
But this person wanted to get on the apps, back on the apps.

1374
01:10:23.360 --> 01:10:27.000
She's 38 years old, I think.

1375
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.560
And this is what I told her.

1376
01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:32.480
I said, do not get on the apps

1377
01:10:32.480 --> 01:10:34.420
unless you have a strategy and a plan.

1378
01:10:34.420 --> 01:10:35.800
She's like, what do you mean?

1379
01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:38.240
I said, you have to time block this.

1380
01:10:38.240 --> 01:10:42.520
People feel burnt out and discouraged by technology dating

1381
01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:44.400
because they don't do it right.

1382
01:10:47.820 --> 01:10:49.200
Now she's my private client,

1383
01:10:49.200 --> 01:10:51.780
so I put together a strategy for her.

1384
01:10:51.780 --> 01:10:53.480
You have to time block this.

1385
01:10:53.480 --> 01:10:55.320
You don't just get on the apps when you're lonely

1386
01:10:55.360 --> 01:10:57.440
or when you feel like it, swipe a little bit

1387
01:10:57.440 --> 01:11:00.640
and then get off and then get back on three months later.

1388
01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:04.040
Have a binge where you're swiping constantly

1389
01:11:04.040 --> 01:11:07.480
for 24 hours straight and then you fall off and bleh.

1390
01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:13.200
No, that's not how you do this, okay?

1391
01:11:13.200 --> 01:11:16.320
You have to have a strategy.

1392
01:11:16.320 --> 01:11:19.320
You have to time block it, just like everything else.

1393
01:11:19.320 --> 01:11:23.280
And so if part of your plan for meeting someone

1394
01:11:23.280 --> 01:11:25.160
that you're gonna be marriage-minded with

1395
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:28.440
before the end of 2025 and you have a plan

1396
01:11:28.440 --> 01:11:32.920
to use technology to help and aid you in that goal,

1397
01:11:32.920 --> 01:11:34.780
you have to time block it.

1398
01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:41.640
You have to choose an app, a platform

1399
01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:43.760
that Holy Spirit is leading you to.

1400
01:11:44.740 --> 01:11:48.100
And you have to make the best profile that you can

1401
01:11:48.100 --> 01:11:49.880
with the tools and the resources

1402
01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:51.600
and the understanding that you have,

1403
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:53.680
and we've done a lot of teaching on that,

1404
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:55.120
and I'll post this in your groups

1405
01:11:55.120 --> 01:11:57.000
for those of you that wanna do this.

1406
01:11:57.000 --> 01:11:58.560
And then you have to make a plan

1407
01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:01.360
of how often you're going to be on there,

1408
01:12:01.360 --> 01:12:03.480
swiping, choosing people to connect with

1409
01:12:03.480 --> 01:12:06.940
and then talking in messages to those people.

1410
01:12:08.200 --> 01:12:11.360
Okay, deleting the ones that aren't going anywhere,

1411
01:12:11.360 --> 01:12:12.880
making a decision of how many people

1412
01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:14.760
you're gonna connect with per week,

1413
01:12:14.760 --> 01:12:17.200
how many conversations you're gonna let them have with you

1414
01:12:17.200 --> 01:12:18.960
until they have the date, and if they don't,

1415
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:22.160
going ahead and pruning them off.

1416
01:12:22.160 --> 01:12:24.300
You have to have a strategy.

1417
01:12:25.440 --> 01:12:27.320
And you can't give up on that app

1418
01:12:27.320 --> 01:12:29.120
when you haven't met someone in two weeks

1419
01:12:29.120 --> 01:12:31.880
and switched to another app, you have to stay with it.

1420
01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:35.940
You felt like God led you there to that platform,

1421
01:12:35.940 --> 01:12:37.280
to that technology.

1422
01:12:38.820 --> 01:12:41.480
These are the things that you have to do

1423
01:12:41.480 --> 01:12:44.140
if you're going to be successful there.

1424
01:12:44.140 --> 01:12:45.720
People wanna get on there

1425
01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:48.040
and they wanna do two or three swipes

1426
01:12:48.040 --> 01:12:49.200
and just meet the person

1427
01:12:49.200 --> 01:12:50.720
they're gonna spend the rest of their life with,

1428
01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:52.080
and if it doesn't happen like that,

1429
01:12:52.960 --> 01:12:53.800
then they get very frustrated.

1430
01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:56.080
And then some people work those apps like a job,

1431
01:12:56.080 --> 01:12:58.800
they're super burnout, they're bitter, they're jaded,

1432
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:01.040
but they've put all their hope and trust

1433
01:13:01.040 --> 01:13:03.120
in technology-based dating

1434
01:13:03.120 --> 01:13:04.260
because they just simply don't think

1435
01:13:04.260 --> 01:13:06.180
they can meet anyone in person.

1436
01:13:06.180 --> 01:13:08.560
You have to decide what's right for you.

1437
01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:11.080
And I think a hybrid of doing a little bit of both

1438
01:13:11.080 --> 01:13:12.520
is really important in summertime,

1439
01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:14.280
let's get out, let's meet people,

1440
01:13:14.280 --> 01:13:16.660
but we have to have a strategy.

1441
01:13:16.660 --> 01:13:18.180
We have to time block,

1442
01:13:18.180 --> 01:13:21.180
we have to spend a specific amount of time,

1443
01:13:21.180 --> 01:13:24.380
energy, resources on our dream,

1444
01:13:24.380 --> 01:13:25.900
no matter what our dream is.

1445
01:13:28.580 --> 01:13:30.260
Correct?

1446
01:13:30.260 --> 01:13:32.580
All right, did you guys enjoy tonight?

1447
01:13:35.720 --> 01:13:36.660
I hope you did.

1448
01:13:36.660 --> 01:13:40.480
So in the chat, we can hold each other accountable,

1449
01:13:40.480 --> 01:13:43.020
you can dig into what it is that you're going after,

1450
01:13:43.020 --> 01:13:45.100
you can tell people, people can cheer you on,

1451
01:13:45.100 --> 01:13:47.360
we're all gonna clap when each other win.

1452
01:13:47.360 --> 01:13:50.140
People can give you feedback if you invite feedback.

1453
01:13:50.180 --> 01:13:53.060
Friends, if they're not inviting feedback,

1454
01:13:53.060 --> 01:13:55.020
don't give them feedback.

1455
01:13:55.020 --> 01:13:57.260
If you do want feedback, make sure you ask for it,

1456
01:13:57.260 --> 01:13:59.340
say, hey, I'm thinking about doing this

1457
01:13:59.340 --> 01:14:02.100
and this is what I'm gonna hold myself accountable to,

1458
01:14:02.100 --> 01:14:03.820
does anyone have anything to add?

1459
01:14:03.820 --> 01:14:06.120
Does anyone have any resources or tools

1460
01:14:06.120 --> 01:14:08.020
they think I should take a look at?

1461
01:14:08.020 --> 01:14:09.120
Support one another.

1462
01:14:11.680 --> 01:14:12.580
Right?

1463
01:14:12.580 --> 01:14:13.420
Sound good?

1464
01:14:14.580 --> 01:14:15.420
All right.

1465
01:14:15.420 --> 01:14:18.160
Father God, we thank you that you've created us to succeed,

1466
01:14:18.160 --> 01:14:19.860
that we are winners, Lord.

1467
01:14:20.580 --> 01:14:22.300
And so Father, we thank you that each and every one of us

1468
01:14:22.300 --> 01:14:25.260
are going to get the resources, the tools, the strategies,

1469
01:14:25.260 --> 01:14:26.900
the favor, the understanding,

1470
01:14:26.900 --> 01:14:29.300
in order to accomplish our dreams and goals

1471
01:14:29.300 --> 01:14:32.540
that you have set aside for us for 2025.

1472
01:14:32.540 --> 01:14:34.620
We believe that your promises are yes and amen,

1473
01:14:34.620 --> 01:14:36.100
and we believe that now is our time,

1474
01:14:36.100 --> 01:14:38.100
more than ever before we have to step

1475
01:14:38.100 --> 01:14:40.780
into places of authority, into places of favor,

1476
01:14:40.780 --> 01:14:43.500
into places of success, in our relationships,

1477
01:14:43.500 --> 01:14:47.580
in our health, in our wealth, in community, in the world.

1478
01:14:47.580 --> 01:14:51.300
We are leaders, not followers, except of Christ.

1479
01:14:51.300 --> 01:14:53.580
And so Lord, we thank you, God, that you love us

1480
01:14:53.580 --> 01:14:55.700
and that you're for us and life is for us,

1481
01:14:55.700 --> 01:14:59.260
and now is our time, in Jesus' name, amen.

1482
01:14:59.260 --> 01:15:00.220
All right, friends.

1483
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:02.720
I'll see you soon. Bye, everyone.
