Hello, everybody.
Robin.
People coming in.
Then, yeah, still connecting. Hi, Laura.
Lindsay, you always have a good smile on your face.
Oh, thank you.
I think that word.
I think you're a happy person.
I am a happy person. Just sometimes I get very serious looking when I'm thinking.
So I have to tell people sometimes the conversations like I'm not mad. I'm just thinking hard right now and I get like lines I get really.
I do that too. I have to like watch my resting face and be very cognizant. So especially if I like if I'm going to hear one of my friends like teach or preach. I'm like, look, don't look at me for affirmation because I'm probably look really serious or mad, but I'm thinking very hard.
I'm listening.
Yeah, I had that happen to me today I had somebody that I was busy getting in my truck to go somewhere and she showed up and chatted for a minute, and I thought I was nice and cordial and and everything and she called my wife and asked if I was mad at her.
No.
I know it's the facial expression gets me every time. Hey, Marcia.
Hi everybody miss you guys for the last few weeks.
Good to see you. Thank you.
I want to give our speaker today as much time as possible so we are having the privilege of having Holly lead our session today. And I want to give you a little bit of backstory I know you guys know Holly you've been in the group with her, but Holly has been a mentor of mine actually for a few years now.
At a very pivotal point in my journey with the Lord, when the Lord was taking me through deeper revelation of me being truly a whole being, not just a spirit but having a body and a mind and a soul and so when Holly and I met we kind of geeked out a little bit on that and just, you know, all of the divine design and how incredible.
And, you know, I should say incredible because that means unbelievable but how amazingly detailed he is in designing our whole being we have a little bit of a guest back.
So I found out like through that conversation pretty quickly what Holly does and her journey and her testimony of walking through radical healing after years of knowing the scripture, but there being a gap between what what the word said and what her experience was I think we all could probably relate to that in some, at some level, where we've had those moments in our journey where we're like, I know this is the promise I know this is mine in Christ but my experience I have yet to experience in my, in my life.
And so I was walking through that and some of my healing journey and something I was learning at the time too is so many of us live by a script, Hannah I'm going to need you to sit right over there sweet girl, live by a script we have not written.
And what I mean by that is that we inherent sometimes generational scripts that are handed to us we take in scripts from society and from culture, or the country or culture we've been born into.
And without sometimes observing those scripts questioning those scripts, choosing to agree or disagree with those scripts we live by them. Right. And so part of our journey with the Lord is learning to entangle untangle ourselves from certain records that have been handed to us that are not ours.
They're not a part of our destiny scroll that he's written for us. And so something that Holly does this will come up in her talk is she works with people and helping them. And these are my words Holly not yours but this was my experience with you in writing a new record in your DNA.
That is according to scripture according to your destiny according to what you according to the word, Jesus, who's living inside of you. And so she works with the frequencies and the energy because we are we are energetic beings are made up of frequencies this is scientific but it's also of course biblical we were created through sound right so it all makes sense.
And I walked with her through a journey of learning to honor my body and my soul by allowing it to be led by the Spirit, and be led by the correct scripts the correct record the correct word.
my journey maybe some of you can relate to this as well because often we don't take the time to
acknowledge that we're a whole being and we just kind of like live in the spiritual realm
and we because we maybe we've even been taught theologically that oh your bodies don't really
matter they're gonna waste away your soul is insignificant your soul is evil even or your
soul is wicked or your heart is wicked or all these things and so we disregard what we would
categorize as flesh and we just try to live according to spirit but i always bring people
back to romans 8 which i know i talk about a lot romans 8 but it talks about a spirit-led life
and the question is what is the spirit actually leading if it's not your body and your soul
into truth into wholeness into transformation romans 8 even talks about the transformation of
your mortal bodies the restoration of your mortal bodies so not just your spiritual ones
but your mortal ones as well and so that's a little bit of who holly is some of the revelation
that she carries some of the things that she's taught me walked me through led me led me into
and recently at a very timely point once again the lord connected me with some of holly's which
is so cool because the stuff that she is i mean it was like the perfect testimony of this is why
we're online right but i got an email from holly because i'm on her email list that she was doing
this workshop about conquering fear and learning to live in divine courage and i was like something
in my spirit rose up of like hey i need i need to hear that so and my schedule just was miraculously
cleared which is very miraculous in this season of my life and so i got to get onto the live workshop
and sure enough what she was sharing was exactly what i needed to hear at this point of my journey
really activated some things in me and i thought to myself this is something and you'll see as she's
going to talk about it today this is something that every pioneer needs to hear and apply in
their pioneering journey because she's going to talk about thresholds she's going to talk about
gateways of like things we cross over into with not just an awareness but ways to partner and
participate with that awareness so um holly's a gem all that to say holly's a gem i trust her
and so i trust her with you guys and i'm very excited to see what she's going to be sharing
today and how that resonates with all of us so holly thank you lindsey that was so well said wow
um i needed needed those words five years ago to figure out how to articulate what i was doing
um but yeah i know i start to nerd out on all of the frequency stuff and the
just the science that's coming out that's just confirms what the bible has always said and so
i used to think that science was in opposition to the bible but it's not
it actually confirms it and even the dna that lindsey was talking about the our dna is primarily
empty space it's not physical matter and in the empty space is all kinds of electricity and energy
and so that's why understanding that part of us and the way that we were designed is so crucial
because um we have a say in what form of energy we want in our dna it's a law of physics energy
cannot be created or destroyed we've already been given the energy it's god's energy so we can't
create it but we can change its form so we can change the form of the energy or electricity in
our dna so that's just that's on a side note but i just want to introduce myself kind of
professionally so you can kind of understand who i am i'm an inner wellness practitioner
and i specialize it's called bioenergetic therapy and i help people to identify and release internal
imbalances and remove barriers to their authentic health and healing and really so what i what i
long for and desire is to help people to function at their full capacity physically
emotionally and spiritually so they can be fully the full measure of who they're meant to be
but today i'm going to explore how to move beyond the paralysis of fear and that's the workshop
that i did last week it was called beyond fear conquering fear with divine courage and how to
move beyond that because it can be confusing and how to tap in to the divine courage that already
exists within you and we've all been taught to pray for strength and courage and there's nothing
wrong with that you know god give me strength give me courage there's nothing wrong with that
but it seems like that's kind of elementary at this point and sometimes you just need to pray
that prayer okay i i still pray that prayer but i feel like there's more and and god's wanting to
move us beyond that prayer um so that you know he can reveal to us the divine strength and courage
that we already have it's already embedded into us and we have it already because we're made like
god and god is strong and god is courageous
not only do we have his likeness, but he already pre-programmed into us the strength and courage
that we would need, that would be necessary to possess the territory that he has designated for
us to establish his dominion in. And so we have this divine courage and strength already in us,
every human being does, that's made in God's image and likeness. We just don't always
know how to access it, especially when we're in an intense situation. So have you ever noticed
that just when you're about to experience a major breakthrough, a victory, an upgrade,
or some kind of advancement in your life, that something happens that makes you just want to
pull back or take a step back? That's happened to me many times, it's probably happened to you all
many times, but that's not a coincidence, it's actually a normal human experience. And so today
I want to help you discover how to recognize those moments and push through them and activate that
divine courage that already exists within you so that you can step into your promise, your promised
inheritance, your birthright, all of those things that we know exist for us. And so this message
and my workshop was centered around Joshua 1-9. Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous,
do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
And when the time came, this is such a, I love this story because when the time came for Joshua
to lead the Israelites out of the desert into the promised land, they'd been in the desert for
40 years, and there was this moment where it was time to step into the land that they cared about
all their lives. And God didn't just hand it over and say, here you go, you know, as they were
standing on the edge of the Jordan and they could see it, they could see the land on the other side,
and God said to them, behold your land, now go and take possession of it. And so they had a part to
play, it was their responsibility to go and take it and to take possession, even though it
was already promised, it was already given, it was already a guarantee that they were going to be
successful in that land and they were going to be able to possess it. It was already a guarantee,
there was no way they could fail, but they still had to go in. And that land was not filled with
nice little villagers walking around. They were really evil, evil beings, not even quite sure if
they were fully human, they may not have been, but they were really evil race of people. And, you know,
there were giants there that they had already seen, they already knew that the giants were there,
and the giants, you know, were going to be mocking them and intimidating them and,
you know, probably causing them to doubt who they were and that this really was what
God had promised, all those things. There were skilled armies that way outnumbered them. And
then there were these big sophisticated walled cities. I'm sure from just the physical eye,
it just seemed impossible that they would be able to take those cities. So in all the
natural senses, it seemed impossible to them. But with all of those circumstances that were real,
those were real, but there was a higher reality and that God had, it had already been set up,
it had already been set up for them to succeed and to get that territory and God was going with them.
So it was impossible to fail. And, you know, those commands to be strong and courageous,
it wasn't just a suggestion. It was a divine command because it reveals this profound truth
about our spiritual and physical design. And God doesn't, he doesn't just ask us to be courageous,
okay, just try, try to be courageous if you can. It's a command and it's a strong command. I mean,
the word in the Hebrew, it's a very strong command because he knows what's at stake
when we give into fear. So I want to help you understand the mechanism of fear
because it's a common human experience. If you're a human being, you're going to experience fear
and it's not always a bad thing. It's actually not a bad thing. You know, if you really need
to get away from a bear chasing you, that fear is going to give you the energy to get away and
it's going to trigger all of those mechanisms in your body to have that burst of energy to be able
to do that. So, so it's just a matter of learning to how to respond to it in the best way. So
there's this protective eject button and your subconscious mind always operates out of
protection. And the thing with the subconscious mind.
is that a majority of our mind is subconscious.
About 98% of what is happening in our mind is subconscious.
That means you're not even aware of it,
nor are you controlling it.
Only 3% of what's happening in our mind is conscious.
And that's why people can say,
oh, well, I believe and I trust God.
But if they have the beliefs in their subconscious
that God let them down one time,
in the past, and so they don't know if they can trust him,
that belief is gonna be stronger
because the conscious mind is only 3% of your mind.
So that's how sometimes our subconscious beliefs
can cancel out what we think we believe consciously.
But there's this self-protection thing that happens,
and especially when you're right on the brink
of a breakthrough or an upgrade or a major victory,
and it will often try to hit that eject button,
just like a fighter pilot,
when they're trying to escape,
when they're being shot at or whatever,
and they don't see a way out of it,
your mind will try to do the same thing
because it starts to feel that discomfort,
and it will try to stop you
before you reach the breakthrough.
And the thing with the mind is the mind
doesn't always interpret the situations correctly.
It just goes on the initial feelings that you have
and the senses that get triggered.
So your mind just feels that discomfort and the fear,
but it doesn't always know exactly what that means.
Like, is your life really in danger
or is God asking you to do something
that you don't feel qualified to do?
I mean, that's a big difference, right?
And your mind can't tell the difference between the two.
So your bodily senses,
the discomfort and the pressure approaching,
when you're on the verge, you're standing at the Jordan
and you're about to step into your upgrade
into something bigger, and it senses that pressure
and it signals the nervous system
to activate the fight or flight response.
It's also called the fear response.
And when we perceive a threat
or anticipate a challenge coming,
it's the brain, the brain's amygdala first,
and that's our emotional processing center.
And it activates first,
which triggers the sympathetic nervous system
to initiate the fight or flight.
And so that brain amygdala picking up
on what you're feeling, it happens in an instant.
It's like, you don't even have time.
You don't even know what's happening yet.
By the time you consciously know what's happening,
your brain has already decided for you
how to respond to that situation
before you even have a chance to.
It's like when the cars in front of you
slam on your brakes and they say that you step on the brakes
subconsciously because you've trained yourself to do that
before you even know that you need to.
It's like happens so fast.
And that fight, that brain amygdala triggering
the fight or flight, it's just a cascade, okay,
from that point on.
And it leads to the release of stress hormones
like cortisol and adrenaline,
which you need if you need to fight for your life
or run away from something
that's about to kill you or attack you.
But then it can cause...
But it can be a malfunction if you don't need it,
if you don't need that response.
So when that fight or flight is triggered,
the hormones are triggered,
then you experience the physical symptoms of fear
after all of that.
And so our brain often perceives
when we're approaching a major breakthrough
or stepping beyond our current limitations,
something like that,
the brain often perceives the unknown
because you're stepping into unknown.
The Israelites didn't know really what was gonna happen.
They knew God was with them, they knew what he said,
but they didn't really know what was gonna take place
or how it was gonna happen.
And so that unknown,
the brain perceives that as potentially threatening, okay?
So it triggers that response
before the conscious mind has fully processed the situation.
And so I've experienced this many times.
I used to have this one scenario
that happened over and over and over
that this happened to me.
So my husband and I were worship leaders back in Colorado
where we used to live at this church.
And he would often have a situation
where a string would break in the middle of the set
or something would happen
and he'd wanna change the song or change the set.
And he'd look at me and he would like under his breath,
say like, say something, pray or do something
so I can do this.
And my brain would literally go blank.
I would draw a blank and I would stare into space
and I could not think of one thing to say or to pray.
It was like I would.
I would just freeze. I would just shut down completely. And it happened so many times.
And afterwards he would say, why did I need help? Why didn't you just, you can pray anything.
And I would say, I literally had nothing. No thought was going through my head at that time.
So I know that this is real and you probably have all had situations similar to that,
but it's a real physiological thing that causes everything to just kind of shut down.
Praise God, I moved past that. But I'll factor that in how I did that in a moment.
But the thing is, is that this is all part of the growth process. And there is a human growth
process. And it's the same process for all human beings, even though the situations and
circumstances may be different that you are going through when this process is happening.
And the growth process happens when we step out of our comfort zones.
And it's this uncomfortable space where we face the fears and push through them.
And that's where the real growth happens. That's where it happens. Nothing happens.
You don't advance or upgrade or up-level or break through by staying in your comfort zone.
It actually can't happen that way. So from this point forward,
we are all going to think of fear as a growth signal. Instead of a signal to retreat or shut
down or pull back, it's a growth signal. And that's what happened when I was leading the
worship and I would shut down. Once I kind of figured it out and my husband helped me to
recognize it, there was an opportunity where it was time for me to say something or pray or speak
out loud up in front of everyone. My heart would start pounding so hard. And instead of backing
away and shutting down, that became my indicator, my signal that it was time to say that I had
something to say. That was my signal. Oh, I have something to say. That's why my heart is pounding.
That's why I'm having this response. Because it's uncomfortable. So that's how I just started
just heart beating. And then I would go without thinking. You can't stop and think. You got to
just go and just start. Just start. That's how I did it is changing that physical response.
I viewed it as, oh, this is my signal that it's time to say something. And
that's for all of us. Because I really believe, and I said this in the workshop last week, that
this is go time for all of us. We no longer have time to sit back and just wait.
Oh, maybe someday I'll have the courage. Or maybe someday I'll be stronger and better prepared.
It's a go time. The world needs all of us functioning at full capacity and our fullest
measure of human potential in union with God that we can be. The world needs us.
So we don't really need to waste time just sitting on the edge of the Jordan, looking at everything.
It's time to just go and start crossing over that threshold.
And there really is a threshold. That's that space. The threshold is that space where
it's so uncomfortable. And it's just this unknown territory. And we have this space
that we have to push through. And your body's going to throw out that stress response,
that fight or flight. It's going to do it automatically before you have time to think.
But that's okay. So for me, like now when that happens, I can feel it because I'm so aware. I
can feel that response go off inside me. And I literally will stop and just say thank you
to my body. Thank you for working so hard to try to protect me and to try to help,
but everything's okay. And even just acknowledging that and saying that will usually
stop it at this point, but I'm going to also give you some things that you can do.
So when you're about to possess your promised inheritance and you're stepping into this higher
level of your calling and purpose, it's going to require courageous steps, bold,
courageous steps beyond what you think you can do. That's just part of the deal.
Everybody feels that feeling of, I don't know if I'm qualified. I don't know if I have what it
takes. I don't know if I'm strong enough. I don't know if God's going to come through.
We're all going to feel that. And they're just feelings. It's just feelings. It's just your brain
trying to help you because it feels that threat. It feels that pressure.
that you're in danger, even though you're really not.
So you will feel the fear at that threshold,
at that verge before your breakthrough,
you're gonna feel that fear and discouragement,
not discouragement, that fear
and that tendency to wanna push back.
But this is the indicator that it's time to push through.
It's time to take action.
It's time to advance.
And if you give into fear and you take it on
and you start to embody it,
it causes paralysis like I experienced
and it shuts you down.
That's what it does.
Fear shuts you down if you take it on, if you embody it,
instead of accessing your true strength
to move forward in advance.
And so I wanna share some insights
into the mechanisms of fear and the frequencies in the body,
and then also share some practices
you can start doing immediately
to shift out of fear into courage
and to turn off that fight or flight response.
And here's the thing,
when you experience fear at the edge of your breakthrough
and your upgrade, it really is a powerful,
biological and spiritual indicator
that you're about to grow.
It's time to push through.
And that discomfort is,
you feel is your body and mind acknowledging
that you're stepping into unknown territory.
And you're stepping in,
you're going beyond your current limits.
And the truth is,
and this is the truth that we wanna embody
is that we are limitless, all of us, each one of you,
we are limitless.
There are no limitations except for the ones in our mind.
And in those moments at the edge
of our promised inheritance,
in that space, just like the Israelites at the Jordan River,
that's right, that's the opportunity
to move beyond your current limitations you think you have
and to expand and go further.
So what happens is,
is that there are several battles going on at the same time.
And that's the intensity,
that's the intensity a lot of times that we're experiencing.
And sometimes we don't really know what it is,
but there are several battles going on at that threshold,
at that brink of breakthrough and upgrade and advancement.
So you've got the mental battle,
you've got the spiritual battle,
and then you've got what's called the frequency battle.
So the mental battle is,
it's an intense mental battle,
but that mental battle is one of the main things
that can derail your progress.
And your mind becomes your own adversary during this battle.
And it systematically starts recalling every past failure,
mistake, embarrassment, or rejection
that you may have experienced,
or anything negative that maybe somebody said to you
or something like that.
It just starts to bring that up to you.
And then your left brain, this is interesting,
is designed for pattern recognition.
And so it's made for that,
like to recognize the patterns and the seasons,
like, oh, we plant at this time and we harvest at this time.
Your brain is supposed to do that,
but in this situation, your mind starts to identify,
because it's trying to figure out the pattern,
because it wants to know,
so that you're comfortable and you know what to do,
your mind starts to identify similarities
between your current situation and past challenges, okay?
So it starts to identify,
oh, this feels similar to what you felt before,
and then start systematically recalling it all.
And it tries to protect you from the same negative outcome
that you may have experienced before.
So a lot of time when you feel this,
you know, many people,
especially that over-spiritualize things,
I see this all the time,
they misidentify this process as spiritual warfare
or some kind of a demonic attack.
And, you know, they truly believe
that there are all these forces,
demonic forces working against them.
And while spiritual opposition can and does occur,
that's a piece of it, it's not the main piece of it.
The primary battleground is usually our own mindsets
and then our neural pathways and thought patterns.
And so those we have the ability to get on top of
and to renew those things, praise God.
And this is really important to understand the truth
about what is really going on,
because you don't wanna let your brain respond automatically
And do what it, it needs to do like we want to be able to choose how we are going to respond in those situations instead of letting our body respond for us.
And so, understanding.
This is really crucial, crucial because when you understand the difference that it's not always spiritual warfare it's not always a demonic attack because you are having this mental battle.
It's important because it shifts responsibility, you're not helplessly subjected to these eternal attacks, as much as we think we are. We are, we are so, we are full of so much power, limitless power that we're barely, we're, we've been operating
in just such a finite degree of it that there's so much more that we don't even know or understand yet, but we're getting there.
But we have the ability, the capability already in us plus the Holy Spirit and Christ in us to change our own thought patterns. So we have that ability.
And then you can, you can choose a different solution because rather than spiritual warfare and trying to use all your energy to fight the enemy. You need to use your energy to reprogram your neural pathways, and to renew your mind, like that's a much
better use of your time and energy than trying to fight the enemy around every corner.
And it also is an opportunity. It's this divine opportunity that when we feel that pressure and that fear signal and that gross signal that these negative thought patterns are, we can see them.
And so when that mental battle is going on, you have an opportunity to see where your mind is and see the upgrade and your thoughts that are necessary for where you're going for where you're going next.
And so it all, it all gets used. It's all part of the process. And I will say I do want to say I don't want to disregard the spiritual battle because that is real and that's a piece of it.
The more that I learn, I realized that it's not the main piece. It's almost like it's, it's such a, it's such a small piece that it's easy. It's easy. The spiritual battle is the easy part. The mental battle is, is actually can be a lot more challenging.
And even though a lot of times we blame the blame it on spiritual warfare, it is, it is a real experience. Just like Joshua and his situation, there are giants, there are giants in our land of inheritance.
And it's almost a guarantee that they're going to be mocking, trying to intimidate, make you, you know, scare you, make you afraid, think that you're, you know, not qualified or not prepared or not equipped, or there's going to be evil inhabitants in your land where you're meant to go and establish dominion.
There's going to be inhabitants there that need to be driven out and there's going to be probably huge armies that feel that's a lot of times what we feel too. We feel that it feels so strong, like that spiritual battle feels so strong, but it usually isn't that strong. It just feels like it is.
And so, you know, it can be really intimidating and it can make us feel that spiritual battle too can make us feel so small and inferior, but it's never the truth. It's never real. It's just what it feels like because of what we're experiencing in the natural.
But what most people don't know, you've got the mental battle, the spiritual battle is the frequency battle. And this is where I start to nerd out on the frequencies because it's just so fascinating. And the frequency battle is the frequency of fear versus the frequency of courage.
And to correctly respond to the frequency battle, we need to understand the science of emotional frequencies. And so there's a whole science to it. Every emotion produces a unique vibrational frequency in the body. And this is something that science is now beginning to measure and validate.
And so these aren't just concepts, abstract concepts, they're measurable and they're energetic patterns that flow through your entire being. And when you experience an emotion, your brain generates a specific electromagnetic frequency that travels in wave-like patterns through your nervous system, and it creates a continuous feedback loop.
So it's actually a, if you think of like a wave pattern, like a wave, like in the ocean, that's what the electrical frequencies do. They move in patterns just like waves move in and they start to move and circulate through your nervous system, through your body, through your organs, and eventually end up in your cells.
And here's the deal with the frequencies of fear and discouragement.
are emotions, they're emotional states, and they operate at lower vibrational frequencies
that weaken the energy field and constrict the energy flow in your body.
So if you're thinking, I know as believers a lot of times we think of energy as new age
or something like that, but it's actually a biophysical part of us as human beings.
And if you need to break through something or upgrade or have victory over something,
it requires energy.
You need energy for that.
You need lots of energy for that.
And when the nervous system releases the frequency of fear, then it actually weakens you.
So that's not what you want.
You don't want to have a weakened energetic state.
And it triggers the fight or flight response.
It releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, creates muscle tension, elevated
heart rate.
It creates a state of contraction and defense where you go into that self-protection and
you need to defend yourself and shallow breathing.
So the shallow breathing is a big deal because that's what creates the state of contraction
and defense.
And so this is really, really important.
And when you're in a state of contraption and defense, scientists have been able to
see it.
There's so many great new instruments and stuff that they can see this.
A human cell is the most extraordinary thing to see if you can look up a picture of it
under a microscope, they look like beautiful flowers or snowflakes and they're open.
And they are made of these perfectly proportioned geometrical shapes that are spaced out perfectly
in these mathematical proportions that honestly, there's no way that could appear out of nothing.
So science, the more people study this down to the cellular level, the physicists throw
up their hands because they come to the conclusion that there's no way that there's not an intelligent
design.
It's impossible for just one cell in our body, how it looks for that to have just evolved
and appeared from nothing.
But when a cell is open like this, everything's flowing through you.
When you, when the fight or flight is triggered, the cells close, they contract, they close
like this to fortify themselves and defend themselves.
And in that state where your cells are closed and contracted, nothing is going in or out.
So that means all of the things that you have available to you in your spirit, like all
of God's power, all of his love, all of his wisdom and strategies that he wants to give
you, that's not coming through you.
Like you have it, you always have it available, but it's not flowing in you because your cells
are closing it off.
So you're not going to experience it even though it's there.
And it just changes your whole internal state pretty significantly.
And if you don't know, and it does weaken the energy field, and this is really important
too.
If you don't know what an energy field is, it's a measurable electromagnetic area that
surrounds every living being.
Even electrical wires have these electrical fields as well.
And it's created by the electrical activity of your cells, tissues, and organs, and extends
beyond our physical body.
And I've read that in a healthy person that's operating well, that your electromagnetic
field can extend up to 12 feet out of you.
And that's amazing.
My belief is that that's how Peter's shadow is healing people, because his electromagnetic
field was so strong, and there was so much power that was flowing all the way through,
through the spirit, through the soul, through the emotions, through the physical body, all
the way down to the cellular structure.
So that's what was shooting out of him.
That's what was radiating out of him.
But when we experience fear and stress, this energy field contracts.
It becomes really weak.
And it also makes you more susceptible to demonic attack, because the demonic forces
perceive, they catch onto that weak energy field.
They know.
They can feel it.
So it makes you actually more susceptible.
And it's impossible to overcome, to experience victory, breakthrough, and even to heal in
this state.
Healing does not happen in this state, because your cells are closed.
They're not receiving the healing power.
They're not receiving the energy to heal that you already have in your body that already
exists, that God designed you with.
So your cells aren't able to pick it up and to take it.
But that's okay.
That's okay, because...
this is normal part of the human experience.
And there's a difference between feeling the fear.
And that's what is important, what Lindsay was saying.
We have to feel the fear.
If you don't feel it and acknowledge it,
you can't choose,
you're not gonna be able to choose your response
because your body's gonna choose it for you.
And you're not gonna be able to push forward
until you feel it.
So when you feel it,
that's when you can acknowledge it
and then you can choose your response to it.
So it is important to feel it.
And you're just, it's almost like you're the observer.
You're just observing it.
Oh, my heart is pounding.
I feel so intimidated.
I feel like I just wanna back away right now.
You can acknowledge that,
but that's exactly when you can get on top of it and choose,
but that's not what I'm gonna do.
I feel like I wanna do that,
but I'm choosing not to do that right now.
I'm overriding that.
I'm overriding that self-protection system.
And you know, your body,
if your body responds for you
and you unknowingly take on fear and discouragement with,
and a lot of times we don't really even know,
that's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
It happens so fast.
We don't really know that all of this is going on.
But when, if we take that on,
the subconscious mind and body kind of join forces
to keep you safe, keep you out of harm's way,
to ensure your safety.
And that's what happens.
It's triggering that physiological contraction and weakness.
It activates the stress hormones,
redirecting your energy from advancement to protection
and creating that state of internal retreat
before the physical retreat even happens.
But there's good news
because courage vibrates at higher frequencies
and expands your energy field.
So when your energy field expands,
we experience a state of openness.
Like I was talking about, the cells are open,
all the channels.
We have actually channels and pathways
that your electrical currents and energy flow,
those are open and clear.
You're more receptive and you have enhanced perception.
You become aware of opportunities
and possibilities around you.
You have improved intuition.
So your connection to divine guidance and wisdom
is in your experience.
You're more connected with that.
You always have that,
but it's not always in your physical experience
when you're in shutdown.
You have greater resilience.
You can better absorb and process challenges
without being overwhelmed.
And you also have increased creativity.
You're more likely to have new ideas
and solutions flow more freely.
And you're able to have stronger connections
with God and the people around you.
So courage, which is so interesting,
and this is what I wanna talk about the frequency spectrum.
So courage is right on the threshold
in the frequency spectrum.
So there's a whole map that's been made
and all of the common human emotions
have been measured in Hertz, just like a sound wave.
And anything below 200 Hertz is considered
in the low frequency range
and is destructive to the human body.
And fear gives off about 100 to 150 Hertz.
And that's why it's not good for us
because it is destructive and it's a low frequency,
but courage, this is interesting,
courage is 200.
Courage is 200 Hertz.
So it's right at that threshold
that is going to take you from fear
into being able to push through
and to advance and to upgrade.
And it's critical.
So that 200 Hertz of courage,
it does represent that critical threshold
between the lower and higher energy states.
And at this time, more than ever,
we need to understand this.
We need to understand the inherent power
that we already have within us.
Because as human beings,
and a lot of Christian circles don't say this,
but it's true, human beings are designed
with just incredible strength and just human power.
When you see people in India
that are in an earthquake or something
and they're trapped under a building for five days
and they survive.
I mean, the human potential is so remarkable
in and of itself,
that we oftentimes disregard that, overlook it,
because
We try to make everything spiritual,
but we as human beings are so remarkably designed
and created with so much capacity and possibility within us.
And it's time more than ever to tap into that
and to understand it.
And to really start to operate with that,
with that created order,
so that we're using, every part of us,
we're using our spirit, our soul and our mind together
in one unit, in unity.
And the fact that, as believers,
we have God with us, wherever we go,
the fact that that's the truth,
that he's with us and in us,
we've got the Holy Spirit guiding and directing
and counseling us and leading us.
And then we've got Christ in us,
we're seated with Christ above everything,
above all the other spiritual powers
and rulers and everything.
So we have so much.
And so the idea is to merge those,
where we use our own human potential
and we merge it with that spiritual truth.
And when that happens, you all, we're unstoppable.
We are literally this unstoppable force on the earth,
but it takes both.
It takes us tapping into that human potential
because it's God created,
and then submitting that ultimately to God's power
and working from our union with God.
That's the idea.
And we talked about the effects of fear,
but there's also the deceptive power of discouragement.
And that's part of the verse,
do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.
And that verse in Joshua,
there's this whole parallel between the promised land
and our spiritual journey.
We have the journey from slavery,
out of slavery and bondage to inheritance,
the wilderness transformation.
And then there's the call to possess your land.
We follow that same journey.
And there were only two instructions that God said
when they were at that moment of pushing through
and possessing their land.
Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.
Those were the only two.
Well, maybe you could say four,
because the opposite of that is be strong and courageous.
That's the response.
The response to do not be afraid, do not be discouraged
is to be strong and courageous.
So there were only two, it's very simple.
I mean, they were called to move forward
into an incredibly challenging, difficult situation
from a human perspective,
but God only told them two things.
Two things, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.
So it's the same for us.
It's quite simple.
But I wanna spend just a few minutes.
Let me see how long I've gone.
Oh gosh, okay.
I wanna spend a few minutes
on the deception of discouragement,
because discouragement like fear will steal your courage.
And the word discouragement actually means to discourage
or means to separate you from your courage
or remove your courage.
That's what it means.
And so discouragement can also be a threshold.
Discouragement is a gate and a threshold.
It separates you from courage
and that is the gate to depression.
So discouragement can become a pattern.
And then someone starts to only notice the negatives
and the things that don't go well
and it can lead into full blown depression
if not addressed.
Okay, so I wanna spend a little bit of time
because I'm gonna take you through
some practical exercises that you can do.
And so this is what I'm gonna lead you through right now.
And this is to turn off that fight or flight response
or when you're in a situation
and you feel that kind of fear rising up
and you wanna step back or you wanna retreat
to get back on top of it.
So it has to do with using your breath.
There's something really profound about the breath
because God breathed into Adam the breath of life
and it's a life force.
It's a life force from God within us and we can use it.
It's supernatural.
It's a supernatural force that we have in us.
So this is called box breathing
because there's four sides to it.
And you're going, I'm gonna lead you through it
but you're gonna put one hand on your heart
and one hand on your belly.
And there's a science to that, I'll explain in a second.
But you're gonna breathe in through your nose
for four counts.
You're gonna hold at the top of that breath.
You're gonna breathe out for four,
expelling all of your breath
and then hold at the bottom of your breath for four seconds.
And we're gonna do that for four complete cycles.
So go ahead and start.
You're gonna breathe in through your nose,
two, three, four, hold, two, three, four.
3, 4, exhale, and hold, 2, 3, 4, again in, 2, 3, 4, hold, 2, 3, 4, out through the mouth,
hold, 2, 4, again in, 2, 3, 4, hold, 2, 3, 4, out, hold, 2, 3, 4, one last time, in,
hold, 2, 3, 4, exhale, 2, 3, 4, and hold, 2, 3, 4.
So that will shut off that fight or flight fear response immediately, and you can use
your breath because of the fight or flight response changes your breathing into shallow
breathing.
And if you have the wherewithal to slow your breathing and move it into a rhythmic pattern,
your brain gets the signal, oh, you must not be in a life-threatening situation.
Because if you were, if you were about to be killed and you were being about to be eaten
by a shark, you would not be able to do this.
You would not be able to do this.
And so the fact that you're able to slow everything down and create a new pattern, your brain
will get the signal, oh, you're not in danger, everything's okay, it'll immediately shut
it off.
And then after you get with the breath, shut off the fight or flight, that's when you apply
your declarations that we all know and love.
So I have one that I will lead you through, and your cells can actually take this on as
truth after you get out of fight or flight.
So say this with me, I am strong and courageous.
I do not fear.
I am not discouraged.
God is with me and on my side.
Therefore I cannot be defeated or destroyed.
And then you take immediate action.
So that's your go time.
You take immediate action after that, whatever it is.
You need to say something, you need to do something, you need to take a step, whatever
the step is, any small step of action, you just go.
And so I have some questions that I want to share that I want you to respond to, and I'm
going to share my screen.
And these are kind of some journal prompts.
And so can you all see this?
So this is identifying, oh, wait, oops, this is the wrong one, stop share.
That's the second one.
I'm going to do the first one.
Okay, this one.
Okay, so identifying your promised land, because this is going to help you know where you are
going and where you need to be.
So what territory do you sense God calling you to possess in this season?
And of course, you can copy this and think about it on your own as well.
What giants currently occupy this territory that intimidate you?
When have you felt most paralyzed by fear or discouragement regarding this territory?
What would stepping forward in courage look like for you this week?
Okay, I'm going to move on just so we can get through.
So the next one is identifying your discouragements.
And this is when you turn off the fight or flight and you do all that, then you can actually
identify and start processing through.
But it's hard to process because then you're kind of only processing it in your brain.
And that's not really going to give you that breakthrough.
It's like you're processing it with every part of you, spiritually, mentally, emotionally
and physically.
So identifying discouragement patterns.
Can you all see this?
Okay.
What recurring discouragements have you experienced when attempting to move forward towards your
goals or what God is calling you into?
What specific upgrades have you potentially forfeited due to persistent discouragement?
How has discouragement physically manifested in your body and energy levels?
What hope-filled truth directly contradicts your most common discouraging thought?
And where fear is that initial and like panic and heart beating and everything,
discouragement is a form of that, but it's more slow. It's like a slow poison
that creeps in over time and becomes more persistent that causes you to
shut down or let go of what's really possible for you. You kind of shut that off,
like the true possibilities and potential that exist, you shut that off with discouragement.
So those are, you know, you can look into that further on your own, but there's one,
there's one last one that I want to give. It's an additional practice,
whereas the box breathing is when you're in that moment and you need to turn off the fight or
flight. This is another one that you can do on your own at home to train yourself to
rewire neural pathways and everything so that you're operating out of fear encouragement.
And as you're full, you're operating in your full potential and capabilities.
It's called heart-brain coherence. And this is a practice that gets your heart and your brain
into sync. And so scientists have figured out that this is actually something that has the
possibility of happening. It can happen where your brain and your heart start to harmonize
and they function as one powerful organ. Do you know what that means? That means that what's in
your heart and what's in your brain are the same. They start to operate as if they were one,
as if there were one organ and practicing heart-brain coherence and deep breathing
activates the alpha brainwaves and which gets you into a relaxed, but alert mental state.
And it also activates the vagus nerve that creates a calming effect and creates that
physiological coherence between the heart and the brain. So this is something you can do on
your own. I've been experimenting with this over the last year and it kind of feels silly at first,
kind of those breathing things kind of feel silly at first, but over time, if you keep doing it,
it has profound effects. So to do this again, you're going to place your hand on your heart.
And the reason is, is because that it creates this focus on your heart and it tells your brain
to move into sync with your heart. And this is scientific. This is a scientific
shift that happens. I'm not just saying it from a spiritual perspective, although it's also
spiritual. So when I say place your hand on your heart, I'm talking about, yes, it's your
spiritual heart and your physical heart, both at the same time. And you can spend about
five minutes doing this, work up to five minutes. It's kind of difficult at first because you have
to be still and kind of train yourself to be still, but you're going to breathe in for about
one minute. And this is a little bit different breathing. You're not having to do the box
breathing. This is just creating that heart brain coherence. So you're going to breathe in
through your nose and exhale through your mouth, like with a sound and do it again.
And all the while you're kind of focusing your attention right here in your body.
And honestly, even doing that three times is good, but to really train yourself to
operate in that coherence, you can work up to it. And then you want to visualize yourself.
So spend a few minutes visualizing yourself successfully navigating that fear triggering
situation from the questions that I just gave, whatever came up to you, like visualize yourself,
you know, doing that and going through it and coming through. And this practice creates
neural pathways that mirror actual experiences. So essentially you're pre-wiring your brain for
courageous action while activating your rectacular activating system. And that's the,
it's called RAS. It's a neural network in the brain.
that filters information and it determines what you notice.
So you start to know when that's activated,
you start to notice the opportunities
that align with your visualized success.
And so instead of ignoring,
when that system is not activated,
we can ignore opportunities or not recognize them.
But when it's activated,
you start to recognize the opportunities
that come your way and you essentially direct your focus
toward things that align with your beliefs
and where you believe you're being called to.
So remember this, I'm gonna wrap it up,
but God doesn't command you to be courageous
because He expects you to manufacture courage from nothing.
That wouldn't make sense.
Why would He command you to do something
and just manufacture it?
He commands courage because He's already equipped you
with everything you need to step forward
into your promised inheritance,
and He's already embedded that courage
and strength within you.
So it's just a matter of tapping into it.
So today we discovered fear isn't a stop sign,
it's actually a breakthrough signal or a growth signal
that you're on the threshold of moving forward
and stepping in to your upgrade
and into your territory that God has for you.
We talked about your body is designed for courage
and the fact that you can shift from fear to courage,
that we have that capability,
it's proof that we're designed for it.
We're designed for courage.
That's why we can shift into it
when we know how to do it and when we choose to
and when we're willing to.
There's this biblical truth that empowers our action,
Joshua 1, 9, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.
It's divine recognition of what's already within you
and who God is in us and with us.
And then lastly, you have these practical tools,
the box breathing and the courage declarations,
the visualization practices,
and you have concrete ways to activate courage
whenever you need it.
You can do it daily.
Hey man, why not?
Why not do it daily?
So that's it.
I try to wrap it up as fast as I could.
Awesome, you covered so much ground.
Thank you, Holly.
And I know, I'm sure dots are connecting,
wheels are turning like mine are
with all the scripture that we know in our hearts
that as Holly was talking,
I'm thinking about be still and know that I'm God.
Walk by faith, not by sight.
Faith calling things that are not yet into existence
as though they are.
I mean, speaking about that visualization,
which is meditation, which is biblical.
That's what it is, yeah.
Do not let the world steal meditation from us.
That is a biblical truth.
When we meditate, it actually renews our mind
as if it's happening in real life already.
That's incredible, that's amazing.
I need to stop saying incredible.
That is amazing.
I know, I've stopped saying that as well.
I've started saying that.
It's backed by the word.
And so what I love to do,
and this is where I love to leave us all right now.
Go read John 10, because some of this is new to us.
And Holly's talking about navigating the unknown.
What's really cool is that
if you are living by the word already,
whether you know this or not,
you're reaping the benefits of this, right?
So what Holly's doing is just adding further insight
and revelation into why the word says what it does, right?
Why we live by faith, why we are spirit-led beings, right?
We have to learn to lead ourselves
if we're going to lead online communities,
if we're going to lead cities,
if we're going to lead nations.
So this is training for reigning.
And so instead of disregarding,
two thirds of us, if you will,
I'm just using math as a way to help visualize this.
We are spiritual beings,
but I think what we've done is we've made spiritual a box
and there's only so many things that can go in that box.
And so we have disregarded,
and I say we, I'm just talking about
the body of Christ at large.
I don't mean to overgeneralize,
but we have disregarded parts of us
that are meant to be led into transformation, into truth.
And so when we learn to lead ourselves into wholeness,
we can learn to lead others into wholeness
and we can learn to lead regions into wholeness
and we can learn to lead all of creation
out of frustration into wholeness.
But it starts with us.
How kind is the Lord to give us training
around within ourselves, right?
So instead of disregarding your body
and disregarding your mind or calling them wicked,
instead learn to lead them in gentleness and kindness
and truth and peace, right?
The fruit of the spirit is a great framework for, okay,
well, how does the Lord lead me?
He leads me with love and with patience
and with joy and with peace, right?
So I lead myself in those things.
as well. What's happening is kind of connecting the dots of the script is we have bodies and
we have souls, mind, will, emotion, that has been led, generationally so, into a lie that
they are in charge. So like an abandoned child who is not equipped to lead, our bodies, our
minds are desperately trying to protect us at all costs because they think it's up to
them to lead us into wholeness and protection when actually we're meant to be spirit-led.
Our spirits are one with Christ, our spirits are fully equipped with everything for life
and godliness so that they can lead our bodies and our minds. So in kindness, and with Thanksgiving
we say, hey body, like Holly was saying, body, thank you so much, you've brought me this
far. And you didn't know, you didn't know that you weren't in charge. But I've got good
news for you today. You're led by the spirit. And we are leading you to wholeness, we're
leading you to health, we're leading you to truth today. Because the spirit always believes
what's true and the body and the mind learn to believe what's true, right? So it's very
exciting. So the reason I said read John 10, I'll wrap it up now I promise, I'm closing
so many times, is Jesus talks about this. So some of the things Holly's saying, she
said, you know, I know that some of this has been categorized as New Age because it has
and the body of Christ has disregarded it because we think that's another religion,
or that's Christless. And it's good to have discernment about things that are not Christ
centered, and are not based in scripture. But unfortunately, what's happened is the
world has taken biblical principles, and it's worked. The problem is, anytime you take a
biblical principle, and you remove Christ, it works for a little while, but it always
leads to death. Because Christ is the way, the truth and the life. And no one comes to
the Father except for through him. He talks about this in John 10, he talks about the
thief jumps the gate. Jesus said, I am the door. So we take all of this, all of these
principles, all of these truths, all of these scientific, you know, discoveries, and we
bring them through the gate of Jesus. That's discernment. Is Christ in this? Is it backed
by the written word? Is it backed by the word, Jesus? Because what the world is doing
is they're jumping the gate, and they're not going through Jesus. And he says that those
are thieves. They're robbers. And they lead to death and destruction. The thief comes
to steal, to kill, and destroy. But what does Jesus say? I have come that you may have life
and life abundantly, to the full, overflowing. Okay? So some of this, you might say, hey,
I don't know about that. And absolutely, you have all the authority to say, wait a minute,
I need to think about this. I need to discern. We're not saying believe it. We're saying
take this to the word. Do you see it in the word? Take this to Jesus. Is he in it? Not
on the side, but is he in it? Is it centered around him? This is why I trust Holly. She
only does it if it's backed by the word, and it's centered in Christ. Okay? And what's
going to happen as we do this for every industry, every sphere of influence on the world, is
we're going to have sons and daughters who are entering those spaces, taking their rightful
place with the full authority and backing of Christ, and transforming the world. Holly's
doing this in the health space. I know Marcella's doing this in the mind and wellness space
as well. Okay? We're doing this for our generations. We're doing this for our cities, our nations,
our regions. So read John 10, practice the courage practices. We're building a muscle,
and we're multiplying the effect. Holly, thank you so much. That was awesome. All right.
Looking forward to hearing more about how this shows up in your life as you guys work
at exploring it and applying it, and we will see you next week.
Thanks, everybody. Thanks for listening.
