WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:08.460 All right, welcome to, this is the Prosper Leader member kickoff call. 2 00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:13.000 We usually do it the first Tuesday of the month, but I was in New York City, so we're 3 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:19.620 delayed and I think this has thrown off everybody's schedule, but I'm glad you guys are here and 4 00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:23.420 I feel a lot in my spirit to share with you. 5 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.700 I'm super excited about this time and I feel like it's going to be a really nurturing time 6 00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:33.660 together, so I was opening with a story before, but I'll come back because I don't want to 7 00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:38.480 leave those of you watching the recording out, so I'll come back to the story, but I'd 8 00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:40.040 like to open with prayer. 9 00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:46.380 I have something from scripture that God laid on my heart to share, and also I was sharing 10 00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:52.020 a story that I think it all ties together, or I believe God will tie it all together. 11 00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:54.440 So let's just open with prayer. 12 00:00:56.620 --> 00:01:00.080 So let's just take a couple deep breaths. 13 00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:05.780 It's quiet. 14 00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:14.780 Scripture says to be still and know that he is God. 15 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.340 That's really a couple parts. 16 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.660 You really can't know. 17 00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:24.600 You can't know his presence. 18 00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:33.120 You can't know what he's saying, what the Holy Spirit is speaking, until we're still. 19 00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:47.060 And so we come and we quiet ourselves and we're still, knowing that you are God and 20 00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:54.420 that you are good and that you are love and that you are always with us and you never 21 00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:57.440 leave us and you never forsake us. 22 00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:08.880 So we just invite your presence to speak, to comfort, to replenish. 23 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.120 So many people are going through so much right now. 24 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.900 There's no one that I've talked to that isn't going through so much. 25 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:25.700 And so Lord, there's nothing that we go through that you are not there. 26 00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:32.040 And Romans 8, 28, that you are not working together for our good. 27 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:45.980 So I pray that you'll help us to see through the lens of gratitude, through the lens of 28 00:02:45.980 --> 00:02:55.000 connection and unity with you, through the lens of wholeness, of shalom, of nothing missing, 29 00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:04.720 nothing broken, through the abundant life lens that you've promised, the Zoe life of 30 00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:13.640 purpose, of divine health, of presence, of joy, of peace that you've promised. 31 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:22.700 So as we're still, we call in that peace, the perfect peace that passes all understanding, 32 00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:26.260 that guards our heart and mind in Christ Jesus. 33 00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:29.240 We call in wisdom. 34 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:37.980 James 2, when we don't know what to do, you've told us to ask and you give us wisdom. 35 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.020 We call in joy. 36 00:03:45.420 --> 00:03:48.900 Nehemiah 8, 10, the joy of the Lord is our strength. 37 00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:52.900 We call in love. 38 00:03:53.140 --> 00:03:54.160 We call in light. 39 00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.200 And we give so much thanks. 40 00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:05.480 Let the words of our mouth, the meditation of our heart be pleasing in your sight. 41 00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:10.160 In Jesus name, amen. 42 00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:29.860 So two of the powerful tools in our toolbox, one is gratitude and that gratitude that is 43 00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:37.140 not based on things necessarily being perfect because they're not, and actually the greatest 44 00:04:37.140 --> 00:04:40.080 gifts are in things not perfect. 45 00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:44.940 And the gratitude is based on faith and certainty. 46 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:55.420 And scripture says that we walk by faith and not by sight. 47 00:04:57.780 --> 00:04:59.980 So we have a choice to. 48 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.900 live and move from a place of faith, which says, Romans 828, 49 00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:12.060 that every single thing in my life is good, every single thing 50 00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:21.740 in my life is working together for good. Or sight, which looks 51 00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:25.120 at what's missing, what's broken, what's lacking, what's 52 00:05:25.190 --> 00:05:32.950 chaotic. And it is a choice to live from the inner to the 53 00:05:33.450 --> 00:05:42.290 outer, or live from the outer to the inner. So is the world of 54 00:05:42.290 --> 00:05:46.550 circumstances and appearances and all of that, is that 55 00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:53.790 shaping me? Or is the faith and certainty and love and 56 00:05:53.790 --> 00:05:58.910 everything that God has placed in me, shaping the world around 57 00:05:59.250 --> 00:06:06.870 me? And it's a moment by moment choice. A moment by moment 58 00:06:06.730 --> 00:06:15.350 choice. So walking with this faith and certainty that makes 59 00:06:15.350 --> 00:06:19.750 everything so powerful. And so I was telling a story right 60 00:06:19.750 --> 00:06:24.330 before I started the recording, that I was on a coaching call 61 00:06:25.030 --> 00:06:31.310 with David Guillaume. And he did a workshop, he'll bring 62 00:06:31.310 --> 00:06:37.210 someone on and just talk through like coach on the spot. And he 63 00:06:37.210 --> 00:06:40.010 had called someone not necessarily the coach, but he'd 64 00:06:40.010 --> 00:06:43.290 gotten this email or letter and he reads his emails. And he was 65 00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:46.250 so touched by the beauty of this letter, but he didn't know 66 00:06:46.250 --> 00:06:50.630 anything about this person. And so he called him on and just 67 00:06:50.630 --> 00:06:54.050 started to learn about him. And he was a good looking guy. And 68 00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:56.770 he had glasses. And the first thing the guy opened with, I 69 00:06:56.770 --> 00:07:00.670 could tell took David back and all of us back just watching it. 70 00:07:00.710 --> 00:07:04.810 He said, Well, what most people can't tell looking at me, is 71 00:07:04.810 --> 00:07:08.550 that I'm completely blind. And David said, Do you mean you 72 00:07:08.650 --> 00:07:13.710 can't see? And he said, I have 1% sight, I cannot see. And he 73 00:07:13.710 --> 00:07:20.730 said that he had gone to David's events in Los Angeles 74 00:07:20.730 --> 00:07:26.310 years ago, and that he had begun to change his perspective. That 75 00:07:26.310 --> 00:07:31.490 everything that happens to us is good. And that in it, this is 76 00:07:31.490 --> 00:07:35.670 where faith is born. This is where God grows us. This is 77 00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:38.990 where God shapes us into the fullness of who we are. And so 78 00:07:38.990 --> 00:07:44.490 he'd come to see his blindness as an absolute gift. And David 79 00:07:44.490 --> 00:07:49.610 was so touched, you know, as he was just sharing what a gift his 80 00:07:49.610 --> 00:07:53.370 blindness was, and that as he changed his perspective, and 81 00:07:53.370 --> 00:07:55.990 here's what's interesting, he comes from a family that has 82 00:07:56.090 --> 00:07:59.930 this genetic disorder. So his mom had it, his sister had it. 83 00:07:59.950 --> 00:08:05.110 So he had grown up watching them go blind, and watching how they 84 00:08:05.210 --> 00:08:10.370 it, which was negativity, and, you know, bitterness and anger 85 00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:12.950 and depression, and they just handled that was what was 86 00:08:12.950 --> 00:08:17.590 modeled for him. So for him to choose differently, based on 87 00:08:17.590 --> 00:08:21.630 what he was learning, from the scriptures, and so on that David 88 00:08:21.630 --> 00:08:27.170 wish had shared years ago, in the seminars, he made a shift to 89 00:08:27.130 --> 00:08:33.130 believe, which I call Romans 828, that every single thing is 90 00:08:33.130 --> 00:08:36.289 working together for my good. And so when we can't see the 91 00:08:36.289 --> 00:08:39.710 good, what's the good here that I'm not seeing? So we begin to 92 00:08:39.710 --> 00:08:45.770 say, okay, everything is a gift. This is good. And that's 93 00:08:45.770 --> 00:08:49.650 especially the hard things. And most of us that have been 94 00:08:49.650 --> 00:08:54.230 through hard things that have taken this perspective, have 95 00:08:54.230 --> 00:08:57.550 begun to see that everything happened for a reason and made 96 00:08:57.550 --> 00:09:00.210 us through we are I mean, I'm, I'm looking at you guys, I'm 97 00:09:00.210 --> 00:09:05.650 looking at Karen, the gift of you going down into alcoholism 98 00:09:05.650 --> 00:09:09.610 and addiction and coming out the other side was actually part of 99 00:09:09.610 --> 00:09:13.150 your divine purpose that allows you to serve at this beautiful 100 00:09:13.430 --> 00:09:17.530 level, and entered you into the world of personal development 101 00:09:17.530 --> 00:09:21.490 that you could renew your mind and you could start growing to 102 00:09:21.490 --> 00:09:25.170 your fullness of your spiritual potential, right? So same thing 103 00:09:25.170 --> 00:09:29.130 for me, I come out of domestic violence and alcoholism and 104 00:09:29.190 --> 00:09:34.730 addiction, and you know, all of that. And I can see it as a 105 00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:38.730 gift, I would not be doing what I'm doing, even even being in, 106 00:09:38.730 --> 00:09:42.070 you know, an emotionally abusive marriage for 27 years, you can 107 00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:46.090 see everything as a gift. And so when this man that David was 108 00:09:46.090 --> 00:09:49.110 talking to began to see everything as a gift, his whole 109 00:09:49.110 --> 00:09:52.990 life changed. And he met his wife, and he's super happily 110 00:09:52.990 --> 00:09:58.970 married. And he and so David said, What do you do? What do 111 00:09:58.970 --> 00:09:59.930 you what's your work? 112 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.360 And he said, I'm a coach. 113 00:10:01.540 --> 00:10:04.180 And so here he is, taking what has happened 114 00:10:04.180 --> 00:10:06.280 and what he's learned, just like you, Karen, 115 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.880 taking what you've learned and now making 116 00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:11.460 a difference in the world, he's working 117 00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:14.760 with people that have especially new disabilities 118 00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:18.380 to come to peace and come to see the gift 119 00:10:18.380 --> 00:10:21.620 and come to be able to walk through them. 120 00:10:21.780 --> 00:10:27.100 So what a gift to take the gifts that's in us and share that. 121 00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:29.920 And so it was so beautiful listening to this. 122 00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:32.540 And David actually asked the question, 123 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.060 if you could have anything from the creator 124 00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:38.380 and you could have your sight back, 125 00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:40.500 would you want it right now? 126 00:10:41.260 --> 00:10:42.880 And the answer was stunning. 127 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.240 He said, no, I would not. 128 00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:52.760 So you come to such a peace that what the world considers 129 00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:58.580 an accident or an illness or a disease or a relationship 130 00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:02.020 problem or a financial crisis or whatever, 131 00:11:02.380 --> 00:11:05.160 and you're able to walk in faith and certainty, 132 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.800 and you're able to see the gift in it and hold that energy, 133 00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:14.940 then what you attract is so amazing. 134 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.540 And the life that you get to live is so full. 135 00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:23.360 And I think it's the book of James that says, 136 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.760 count it all joy, my brethren, when 137 00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:31.020 you enter into diverse trials. 138 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.940 In other words, the variety of trials. 139 00:11:33.640 --> 00:11:37.260 I've read that since I became a Christian at 17. 140 00:11:37.460 --> 00:11:38.380 I've been reading that. 141 00:11:38.660 --> 00:11:40.400 And I used to think, what is wrong with him? 142 00:11:40.400 --> 00:11:41.480 Is he's on drugs? 143 00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:43.160 It's like you're going through hard times. 144 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.580 Is count it all joy? 145 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.040 Like, yeah, let's have a party. 146 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.580 I'm going through this trial. 147 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:48.420 Woo-hoo. 148 00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:50.920 Whip out the balloons, right? 149 00:11:51.400 --> 00:11:55.940 But you come to this perspective that I'm sharing right now, 150 00:11:55.940 --> 00:11:58.480 count it all joy. 151 00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:02.340 And then, like I said, you actually look for the good. 152 00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:06.200 So when you can't see the good, if every single thing 153 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.880 is working together for my good and I can't see it, 154 00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:11.680 show me the good here that I'm not seeing. 155 00:12:12.260 --> 00:12:15.300 And so you walk in this place of faith and certainty. 156 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.840 And so this morning, when I was asking God and praying, 157 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.620 what do you want me to share this morning? 158 00:12:24.260 --> 00:12:25.640 God had me. 159 00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:27.700 And this was yesterday, even before I knew 160 00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:29.320 I was going to be sharing it here. 161 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.960 God told me when I was doing my morning spiritual practice 162 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.040 that he wanted me to be in Mark 16, Mark chapter 16. 163 00:12:41.260 --> 00:12:43.800 And I have a number of translations. 164 00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:46.280 I'll read a chapter in. 165 00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:50.680 And the passion translation, I always 166 00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:52.740 look at kind of like God's love letter. 167 00:12:53.260 --> 00:12:56.020 It's just so touching, the passion translation. 168 00:12:58.100 --> 00:13:01.640 It brings both the Greek, Hebrew, and the Aramaic. 169 00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:06.380 And it brings a rich, modern language that's accurate, 170 00:13:06.380 --> 00:13:08.060 but just so touching. 171 00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:12.040 So I read, again, yesterday I read Mark 16. 172 00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:13.400 And I read it again today. 173 00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:14.920 That's what I got. 174 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.380 So I'm going to open with that. 175 00:13:17.380 --> 00:13:21.500 And then we'll just talk about how 176 00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:23.980 that translates into where we are in business 177 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.520 and what God's calling us to do right now. 178 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.020 But I think the message will come clear for you 179 00:13:31.540 --> 00:13:32.600 as I read this. 180 00:13:34.100 --> 00:13:38.980 So as we're going through these things, 181 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.380 and we're talking about living from within, outward, 182 00:13:44.760 --> 00:13:47.900 and shaping our world, and releasing our gifts, 183 00:13:47.900 --> 00:13:54.940 and using what we go through for good, or being oppressed, 184 00:13:55.260 --> 00:13:58.740 let's just say, tormented by circumstances, 185 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:08.920 and allowing it to impact us so that we shrink, we play safe, 186 00:14:09.020 --> 00:14:10.960 we play smaller. 187 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.920 So there's two ways of living, expansive living 188 00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:16.940 or contracted living. 189 00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:21.620 Love expands, fear contracts. 190 00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:25.300 And so always looking, how am I feeling? 191 00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:26.460 Am I contracted? 192 00:14:27.380 --> 00:14:28.200 Am I tight? 193 00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:31.100 Am I tight in my body? 194 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.500 Is my breathing short? 195 00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:34.140 Is my heart tight? 196 00:14:34.260 --> 00:14:35.260 Am I closed? 197 00:14:35.400 --> 00:14:35.920 Am I guard? 198 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.840 This is a contracted state. 199 00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:38.920 Just check. 200 00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:40.400 Your body doesn't lie. 201 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.920 Or am I in an expansive state? 202 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.960 Am I open? 203 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.700 Am I receptive to what God's going to do? 204 00:14:49.020 --> 00:14:51.240 Am I faith and certainty? 205 00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:54.280 Am I expectant of a miracle? 206 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.980 And so we're either living, love, expanded, or. 207 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.200 fear contracted and fear not only contracts us which it actually physically contracts our body 208 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:15.980 it constricts our arteries it literally contracts us physically fear contracts us financially 209 00:15:17.880 --> 00:15:28.980 fear contracts us um just in all ways honestly right and so we begin to withhold 210 00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:39.940 we're we're giving and we're sowing or we're withholding so whenever you feel a contraction 211 00:15:41.140 --> 00:15:48.380 in your finances a contraction in your health a contraction in relationships what i've learned 212 00:15:48.380 --> 00:15:54.500 to do that's so powerful is to first look because everything happens within first the bible teaches 213 00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:59.980 that out of the heart flows the issues of life guard your heart for out of it flows your heart 214 00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:04.660 the issues of life out of the heart the mouth speaks the bible so everything starts in the 215 00:16:04.660 --> 00:16:15.340 heart biblically and so you look at where am i withholding because i'm afraid of being hurt 216 00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:22.000 because i'm afraid of being rejected because i'm scared because where am i withholding 217 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:27.260 look at the biggest contraction that we see right now is a recession what is that it's withholding 218 00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:34.420 nobody spend everybody gets scared everybody tighten up and we create the reality of a 219 00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:39.700 recession right so we're either in an expanded state which god has called us to we're light 220 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:45.960 we're loved we're called to live expansively or we're in a contracted state does that make sense 221 00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:56.320 and so when you're in a contracted state the question is what am i withholding where am i 222 00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:06.140 withholding love if i'm feeling tight in the money where am i withholding how's how's my giving 223 00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:13.920 right now how's my how's my sewing going on right now how's my tithing going on how am i the o 224 00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:24.180 open the flow in the prosperous system the o where am i withholding and and and and you 225 00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:29.160 look at the scriptural examples when people were in contracted states and withholding 226 00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:35.740 you look at the widow that only had a little oil and a little bread and she was going to make the 227 00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:44.520 last meal for her and her son to die and elijah comes and he says give me something to eat and 228 00:17:44.520 --> 00:17:49.220 she says you don't understand i've only got enough corn to make a little cake i'm making it for my 229 00:17:49.410 --> 00:17:55.570 and i and then we're going to die and elijah basically said feed me first and so she had to 230 00:17:55.570 --> 00:18:01.390 get out of the contracted start activate the flow and give and so she does and then the miracle 231 00:18:01.590 --> 00:18:08.550 happens same with the woman in oil her kids are about to be taken uh she's in deep debt and elijah 232 00:18:08.710 --> 00:18:16.310 comes what do you have well just a little oil i'm she's in a contracted state i'm saving my last 233 00:18:16.310 --> 00:18:22.690 little bit of oil this is all i have and he's got to get her in a faith and certainty place gather 234 00:18:22.690 --> 00:18:29.030 the vessels start pouring because until you start pouring until you start giving you're going to stay 235 00:18:29.030 --> 00:18:34.470 in your fear-based contracted state so whether you're giving appreciation whether you're giving 236 00:18:34.530 --> 00:18:40.050 love i mean giving it comes in all kinds of forms withholding comes in all kinds of forms 237 00:18:40.050 --> 00:18:46.670 whether you're giving money whether you're giving kindness we've got to activate the flow when you 238 00:18:46.670 --> 00:18:55.490 feel contracted does that make sense so so mark 16 i'm just going to summarize it and we'll open 239 00:18:55.490 --> 00:18:59.990 for a little bit of conversation and we'll open as this applies to business because this 100 240 00:19:00.010 --> 00:19:08.830 applies to business where have you been withholding in business where have you been activating flow 241 00:19:08.830 --> 00:19:15.370 and what do you need to do right now to activate flow today if you're short on clients you're short 242 00:19:15.370 --> 00:19:22.250 on cash you're short on where where if you're feeling lonely and alone i've got i've got some 243 00:19:22.250 --> 00:19:28.470 people right now i a lot of people have come to me in the last two days i mean freak accidents 244 00:19:28.550 --> 00:19:33.790 you know tracy you're talking the accident what happened with your son and what that 245 00:19:33.790 --> 00:19:43.130 contraction that can cause um one of my clients she she was actually doing um like a sound she 246 00:19:43.130 --> 00:19:49.790 does the the bowls and the sound and the gongs and all of that and the wind blew and knocked 247 00:19:49.790 --> 00:19:55.530 the gong off and hit her on the head so please pay pray for a prosperous sister um bethany she 248 00:19:55.530 --> 00:19:59.970 has a concussion like these freak things are trying to get us right 249 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.720 right now. And the question is, will you walk through that, you know, book of Psalms? Will 250 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:10.400 you walk through, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 251 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:15.880 fear no evil. Even in the deepest, that's the deepest, even though I walk, Psalms 23, 252 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:24.060 right? Same thing, Psalms 23, one, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not lack. Declaration, 253 00:20:24.060 --> 00:20:30.100 right? So it's this constant, am I going to withhold and contract, or am I going to expand 254 00:20:30.100 --> 00:20:36.700 and sow and give and all of that? And it's a choice, moment by moment by moment. So Mark 255 00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:44.280 16, watch this, it's very fascinating. Mark 16, Jesus has died to set this setting, right? 256 00:20:44.280 --> 00:20:54.040 He's gone through the crucifixion. He's in the tomb. The stone is closed. And early on 257 00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:57.700 they're going to take anointing oils. They're going to go in there and they're hoping someone 258 00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:01.840 can help roll the stone and they're going to prepare his body with anointing oils and 259 00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:09.960 everything that they did. They come and the stone is already rolled away and they walk 260 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:17.160 in and an angel in a white robe is there and starts talking to him and says, the one you're 261 00:21:17.340 --> 00:21:25.980 looking for, he's not here. He's alive. And the angel in verse 7 says, run and tell his 262 00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:33.500 disciples, even Peter, who walked in contracted, right? Fear and doubt and so on, run and tell 263 00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:38.820 his disciples. So first of all, who's first? Who is God using? Because I believe this is 264 00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:43.820 happening in our world right now too. Who's there? Who goes to the tomb? It's Mary Magdalene, 265 00:21:44.620 --> 00:21:54.240 who was closest to Jesus, right? Mary, the mother of Jesus, right? And I don't know how to pronounce 266 00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:59.260 it. Salome. S-A-L-O-M-E. Salome or Salome. I don't know how to say that. 267 00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:00.940 Salome. 268 00:22:01.560 --> 00:22:02.280 Salome? 269 00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:03.520 Salome. 270 00:22:04.340 --> 00:22:08.620 There's no N. So it's S-A-L-O-M-E. 271 00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:09.940 Salome. 272 00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:19.040 Salome. Salome. Okay. So these are the, thank you. These are the three women that go to the tomb and 273 00:22:19.040 --> 00:22:26.160 they have an angelic encounter. And the angel says, okay, I just gave you what looked most 274 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.820 devastating in your life. What looks like the worst possible scenario, the one you put all your 275 00:22:32.820 --> 00:22:37.180 faith and hope in, the one you thought was going to be the coming King, the one you thought was 276 00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:44.580 Messiah, the one that you gave everything to follow, the one that you loved the most has been 277 00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:50.340 brutally crucified and all your dreams are shot. You got to remember the trauma they just came for. 278 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:56.080 They watched a brutal crucifixion of the one they loved the most. You talk about trauma. 279 00:22:57.260 --> 00:23:07.160 You got to remember where they're coming from. They've lost hope. They're just going to do the 280 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:16.180 angelic encounter. And an angel talks to them and the angel says, he's alive. Run, run and tell his 281 00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:22.580 disciples. The women get to be the messenger to the men here. The women get the first news, which 282 00:23:22.580 --> 00:23:29.900 happened many times in scripture. Run and tell his disciples he's risen. And verse eight in the, 283 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:36.420 in the Passion Translation says, they staggered out of the tomb, awestruck with their minds swirling. 284 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:42.380 When all of a sudden what you thought was the worst thing, it's actually maybe the best thing, 285 00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:47.260 but you couldn't see it. You were in absolute despair. You've been crying for three days. 286 00:23:47.360 --> 00:23:52.880 You've been depressed. You thought the world had fallen apart. All your dreams had been crushed 287 00:23:53.880 --> 00:24:00.640 and their minds are swirling. So they ran to tell the disciples, but look at this, 288 00:24:01.360 --> 00:24:07.120 but they were so afraid they said nothing to anyone. 289 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.620 How interesting. They had the best news in the whole world. They had an angelic encounter 290 00:24:15.520 --> 00:24:23.780 and it says that they said nothing. Fear, fear can tricks us so that our message is not getting 291 00:24:23.780 --> 00:24:27.920 out. We're not showing up on social media. We're not telling what we really believe. We're not 292 00:24:28.060 --> 00:24:32.540 reaching out to everyone. We're not being instruments of hope. We're not being instruments 293 00:24:32.540 --> 00:24:43.160 of good news because of fear. Then verse nine, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene. So first it was 294 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:49.220 the angel. Now Jesus appears. Second chance. God always is a God of second chances. They did not 295 00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:55.820 respond to the angel. Fear took over and they kept quiet. They constricted. Verse nine, Jesus appeared 296 00:24:55.820 --> 00:24:59.680 to Mary Magdalene. So verse 10, 297 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.880 After she'd seen Jesus, then she ran to tell the disciples and excitedly she 298 00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:13.660 told them, he's alive, I've seen him. But it says, but even after hearing, they did 299 00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:20.440 not believe her. Doubt. First, we have fear constricting. Second, constricting 300 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:29.860 fact, doubt. Even if you say that, I don't believe. Doubt. Because we walk by faith 301 00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:37.020 and not by sight. They were walking by sight. No. I saw. He's dead. I saw. I know 302 00:25:37.020 --> 00:25:41.780 what happened. I don't believe. I'm choosing to believe my eyes instead of 303 00:25:41.780 --> 00:25:48.940 my inner eyes, the eyes of my heart. So then in verse 12, then Jesus appears to 304 00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:55.620 two of the disciples and it says they didn't recognize him or believe it was 305 00:25:55.620 --> 00:26:05.000 him. Doubt. So here is the Most High, the greatest love, reaching out, bringing 306 00:26:05.080 --> 00:26:13.300 angelic visitations, bringing himself, the risen Christ, showing up and they're 307 00:26:13.300 --> 00:26:19.660 not recognizing that he's there. They're not believing that he's there. And then 308 00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:26.300 verse 14, Jesus appears before the 11 disciples. Of course, Judas is missing, 309 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:34.760 but the 11 are eating a meal. And it says in the Passion Translation, so Jesus 310 00:26:34.760 --> 00:26:41.640 appeared while they're eating and it says he corrected them for having such 311 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:52.700 hard, unbelieving hearts because they did not believe those who he had sent to 312 00:26:52.160 --> 00:27:02.180 them. So where are all the miracles that have happened in your life? Where are all 313 00:27:02.180 --> 00:27:11.260 the times that God has showed up? And are we speaking that good news? Are we giving 314 00:27:11.260 --> 00:27:20.440 boldly? Or is fear or doubt causing us to constrict and we are quiet? And then, of 315 00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:25.240 course, in verse 15, he says, as you go into the world, the Great Commission, 316 00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:41.200 preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race. And I'll 317 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:50.520 These signs will accompany or will follow those who believe. So he sends them out 318 00:27:50.520 --> 00:27:56.220 with the Great Commission, go. And he says, if you walk in faith, those who believe 319 00:27:56.340 --> 00:28:00.340 there's going to be signs and wonders that follow you, signs and wonders that 320 00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:05.240 accompany your message. And it says you'll be able to drive out demons, speak 321 00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:12.100 in tongues. And it says you'll be supernaturally protected from snakes and 322 00:28:12.340 --> 00:28:19.060 poison, and you'll lay hands on the sick and heal them. This is what we've been sent 323 00:28:19.060 --> 00:28:23.160 forth. This is what we've been commissioned with. And very interesting 324 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:29.780 when you look at the Aramaic of this story, the snakes and the poison are actually 325 00:28:29.780 --> 00:28:37.560 very common idioms of that time. And so the snake represents overcoming enemies, 326 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:45.660 overcoming enemies. And you saw Jesus use those like he what he said to the 327 00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:59.760 Pharisees, you brewed on vipers, he called them snakes, this was a common. So 328 00:28:59.760 --> 00:29:09.460 as an attack on your character, so when you are attacked, so summarizing all of 329 00:29:10.140 --> 00:29:29.740 that, where are we in business right now? We are in a place of the world 330 00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:37.040 have a recession, and we have a trust recession, that people are not trusting 331 00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:50.300 quickly. And so what we're finding is that the amount of touches 1215 touches 332 00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:58.120 for someone to make a buying decision. Now, there's a way to shorten that so 333 00:29:58.120 --> 00:29:59.800 that it's two to three touches. 334 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.660 instead of 12, 15, 20. 335 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.180 And that is if they are able to experience 336 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:08.680 something with you. 337 00:30:09.320 --> 00:30:13.740 So if you can invite them into an experience, 338 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.220 whether you're doing a masterclass, 339 00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:17.700 whether you're doing lives, 340 00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:19.660 whether you're sending them recordings, 341 00:30:20.040 --> 00:30:22.000 whether you're giving them gifts 342 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.820 of something you've taught in the past, 343 00:30:23.820 --> 00:30:27.260 if they can experience whether you're doing calls, 344 00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:31.640 it reduces down to two to three. 345 00:30:34.180 --> 00:30:38.060 So it is all right now, 346 00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:42.800 100% about being top of mind and visibility. 347 00:30:43.340 --> 00:30:48.340 It is 100% about showing up and giving 348 00:30:50.340 --> 00:30:54.500 and not withholding and not walking in fear or doubt. 349 00:30:54.520 --> 00:30:56.680 It is about being the light. 350 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.220 Jesus said, we're the light. 351 00:30:59.040 --> 00:31:03.120 So, and it's about consistency and frequency, 352 00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:10.880 which really means every day or a couple times a day. 353 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:12.820 And this does not need to be hard. 354 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.660 It can take a minute. 355 00:31:16.360 --> 00:31:17.020 Karen watched me. 356 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.780 She goes, oh, I was beautifully with Karen 357 00:31:19.780 --> 00:31:21.300 for the last few days. 358 00:31:21.300 --> 00:31:22.600 I got to stay in their home. 359 00:31:22.700 --> 00:31:23.640 She gave me an amazing, 360 00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:25.940 we were in New York City together for a couple of days. 361 00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:29.420 She gave me a tour of New Jersey that was just amazing. 362 00:31:29.420 --> 00:31:31.220 And we went and hiked up a little mountain. 363 00:31:31.820 --> 00:31:33.920 And so I got to the top of the mountain 364 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.660 and just really quick, I pushed record and I did a live. 365 00:31:38.220 --> 00:31:39.800 There was nothing, there was no editing. 366 00:31:40.020 --> 00:31:40.960 There was no nothing. 367 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.260 I put a quick description underneath. 368 00:31:45.780 --> 00:31:48.580 She watched me, it was under five minutes and boom, 369 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.140 something powerful was out there that was fresh. 370 00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:54.600 And she goes, oh, I didn't know, like you just showed me. 371 00:31:54.600 --> 00:31:56.000 This doesn't have to be hard. 372 00:31:56.780 --> 00:32:00.540 And so part of what we have to let go of 373 00:32:01.540 --> 00:32:04.820 is the perfectionism that causes us to withhold. 374 00:32:05.140 --> 00:32:07.000 That's fear-based, right? 375 00:32:07.060 --> 00:32:08.980 They don't need perfect right now. 376 00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:12.920 They need raw, they need real, they need consistent, okay? 377 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:14.560 And so being top of mind. 378 00:32:14.780 --> 00:32:16.360 And so when they do buy, 379 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:20.560 it's going to be from the last two or three people 380 00:32:20.560 --> 00:32:23.940 that they've seen most frequently, most recently. 381 00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:25.920 That's who they're going to buy from. 382 00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:30.320 Okay, so it's all about visibility right now. 383 00:32:31.360 --> 00:32:35.120 Now, there's some fun things I learned in New York City, 384 00:32:35.760 --> 00:32:39.520 and I will be sharing that and uncovering some of that. 385 00:32:40.540 --> 00:32:43.720 Today, I felt that what was most important 386 00:32:44.100 --> 00:32:47.600 was to take a look at where are you at? 387 00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:49.040 Are you living from the inside? 388 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.440 Are you living from the outside? 389 00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:56.280 Are you withholding or are you abundantly sowing, right? 390 00:32:56.280 --> 00:32:58.540 Are you withholding and where are you withholding? 391 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.460 That we can make that correction. 392 00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:04.640 Where is life shaping you as opposed to you shaping life? 393 00:33:05.020 --> 00:33:07.020 And so remember who you are. 394 00:33:07.360 --> 00:33:09.000 You're the temple of the Holy Spirit, 395 00:33:09.260 --> 00:33:10.700 Christ in you, the hope of glory. 396 00:33:10.780 --> 00:33:11.920 You're hidden in Christ. 397 00:33:12.040 --> 00:33:14.080 You have all power, you have all authority. 398 00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:16.440 You have the mind of Christ, right? 399 00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.020 So being willing right now to choose 400 00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:22.200 no matter what you're going through, 401 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.740 and especially in the middle of going through, 402 00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:27.220 especially in the middle of going through 403 00:33:27.560 --> 00:33:29.700 is the time to share that 404 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:33.900 and coming from a place of faith and expectancy. 405 00:33:35.300 --> 00:33:38.680 So when we come from that place of faith and expectancy, 406 00:33:39.860 --> 00:33:42.260 God will show up and God will deliver. 407 00:33:43.140 --> 00:33:47.500 Now, it's listening to, you know, 408 00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:49.800 scripture says, my sheep hear my voice 409 00:33:49.800 --> 00:33:51.900 and the voice of another, they will not follow. 410 00:33:52.600 --> 00:33:54.640 It's listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. 411 00:33:55.040 --> 00:33:57.020 It's listening to the divine prompting, 412 00:33:57.020 --> 00:33:59.520 those nudges to know what to do next. 413 00:34:00.040 --> 00:34:03.720 And it's acting on those nudges. 414 00:34:04.760 --> 00:34:07.940 So most of you know, I really felt led 415 00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:10.840 to go to this conference in New York City. 416 00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:13.360 It's one of my coaches, Sarah Canal. 417 00:34:13.540 --> 00:34:15.219 She's been one of my book coaches 418 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:18.300 and I felt so led to go, 419 00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.739 but everything in my circumstances, it was the wrong time. 420 00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:25.760 And by faith, I pushed the button to go. 421 00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:29.060 And then everything about me 422 00:34:29.060 --> 00:34:30.760 wanted to contract and withhold. 423 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:34.500 The only flights were the overnight flights. 424 00:34:34.500 --> 00:34:36.179 I was going to be flying all night 425 00:34:36.179 --> 00:34:38.080 and arriving there and having to be at the conference. 426 00:34:38.080 --> 00:34:39.320 I'll arrive just in time. 427 00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:41.980 And actually I arrived late for the conference. 428 00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.040 The hotel where it was being held, 429 00:34:45.120 --> 00:34:48.120 where I would normally stay, the rooms were $900 a night. 430 00:34:48.120 --> 00:34:50.120 I was not willing to invest that in this. 431 00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:52.580 So I was about to contract. 432 00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:55.420 I was about to withhold because my circumstances, 433 00:34:56.260 --> 00:34:58.980 where am I going to stay at this late of notice, 434 00:34:59.280 --> 00:34:59.980 this flight?

You got things here. Who's gonna take care of your dog? Yada 436 00:35:05.720 --> 00:35:10.820 Yada, I wanted to contract everything in me wanted to contract. I'm real. I'm just like you guys 437 00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:16.540 I thought I'll just take a hit. It was non-refundable. I'll just take a hit and not go 438 00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:23.240 But I kept praying Lord. What was that nudge? Are you sure you're telling me to go and 439 00:35:24.680 --> 00:35:29.340 He said I'm telling you and I got you covered and everything's working together for good 440 00:35:29.340 --> 00:35:37.240 Well, most of you probably know the story little did I know that Karen and her beautiful husband Barry lived 15 minutes from the airport 441 00:35:37.240 --> 00:35:41.740 I was flying into because I felt led to fly into New Jersey and not New York and 442 00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:47.760 How beautiful they picked me up at the airport.

That's how engaged we were 469 00:37:45.700 --> 00:37:50.160 We've been texting back and forth. She's got an appointment Wednesday. She'll probably be a client 470 00:37:50.780 --> 00:37:56.040 Look what the Lord does and that's my encouragement to you 471 00:37:56.240 --> 00:37:58.560 look at where you're withholding and 472 00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:05.400 And just open the flow open the flow.

Yes 478 00:38:29.700 --> 00:38:34.820 I'm giving back to women. But yeah thing, you know, I always say I'm a grateful alcoholic 479 00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:41.420 so a lot of the stuff that you're saying resonates and luckily I'm grateful because I 480 00:38:41.420 --> 00:38:43.560 Shared today at a meeting. I said 481 00:38:43.940 --> 00:38:45.200 Because I'm an alcoholic 482 00:38:45.220 --> 00:38:52.320 I have to get my act together a little quicker because I have like a loaded gun if I if I don't stay on a certain 483 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:59.220 Path, I could go back to drink. Okay, like I always have the gift that causes you to stay in personal development 484 00:38:59.220 --> 00:39:06.780 So I like the blind person like really resonated like I'm very grateful for a lot of things that I've gone through 485 00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:08.380 So yeah, no 486 00:39:09.080 --> 00:39:15.780 So fear. Yeah that that you know, I was in a tired place, you know after our running and stuff and 487 00:39:17.260 --> 00:39:24.460 Depleted and then Barry had bad news about biopsy and you know fear overtook me and last night 488 00:39:24.460 --> 00:39:30.140 I was going down the drain. I wasn't gonna pick up drink, but I knew like fear was raining and 489 00:39:31.300 --> 00:39:35.640 Negativity and it was just spiraling and I just knew it and this morning 490 00:39:35.640 --> 00:39:39.400 I just broke down in tears and I'm telling Barry I'm like the worst wife 491 00:39:39.420 --> 00:39:43.560 like and I'm like and I just looked at him and I'm like and he's like you're not and I'm like 492 00:39:43.740 --> 00:39:47.560 Get to a meeting and you know, I spoke a bit that you know 493 00:39:47.560 --> 00:39:48.200 God, you know 494 00:39:48.200 --> 00:39:54.180 I went down to the basement and I'm preparing to go to the car and I'm like, thank you God for my husband 495 00:39:54.180 --> 00:39:59.980 Thank you God for my blood, you know, and by the time I got to the car, you know, I have the tools to boot 496 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.200 move through it. But business-wise, I have to pick myself up further. So what you were saying, 497 00:40:05.260 --> 00:40:10.620 like, what I'm doing, and I was thinking of Christ. He had the disciples. He had 12 people 498 00:40:10.620 --> 00:40:15.640 around him that were very positive and supportive. And that's what I told you at the beginning of 499 00:40:15.860 --> 00:40:22.240 our meeting today, is that I'm going through my contacts, and I'm looking up the people that 500 00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:27.800 really are going to nurture me, that I can connect with, so that I fill myself and keep the prayer 501 00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:35.040 in the front, and God, but nurture myself so that I can go out again. Getting depleted was not a 502 00:40:35.040 --> 00:40:39.700 good thing, you know, but it's a lesson. And, you know, I hit down a little bit, but I'm coming back 503 00:40:39.700 --> 00:40:46.580 up, and this really helps quite a bit. I love that. I love that. Tracy, before you run, can you, 504 00:40:46.620 --> 00:40:57.380 one minute, share? She said she has to run. Yeah, real quick, love to hear. 505 00:40:58.040 --> 00:41:03.020 I do, too. I got to be off straight at eight, but I'd love to hear. And thank you, Karen. Thank you 506 00:41:03.020 --> 00:41:08.920 for everything. Thank you for sharing. It's just a very interesting thing to me, and continues to be 507 00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:14.340 how, you know, I mentioned earlier my son's motorcycle accident, and how we can be in 508 00:41:14.340 --> 00:41:17.420 these situations that are difficult, and we can see the difficulties in the world, 509 00:41:17.720 --> 00:41:25.940 and it feels incongruous to feel joy and feel hope.
