1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.280
Okay, so today we're talking about how possibility works in the kingdom.

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:14.720
I tell you, I've been really focused on this and I'm excited about this because it's opening

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:15.960
up new territory.

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:21.280
Ever since we had Brilliance event, it felt like we took those first steps into a new

5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:29.400
space and I can feel and I can see it in our own team where our thinking is expanding rapidly

6
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.480
and we're going into a new place in the Lord.

7
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:41.400
And I particularly noticed that we've got various, you know, as we've been going through

8
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:48.800
those training on the kingdom leadership elective, I've noticed that there's a whole different

9
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:53.000
space that our team has gone into and our community.

10
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.580
And so one of the things I wanted to share was something that I've really seen helps

11
00:00:58.580 --> 00:01:04.060
us as kingdom leaders move the people we're leading into kingdom leadership.

12
00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:10.420
And so I've been working on this kingdom leadership framework and this kingdom leadership framework

13
00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:13.620
has three upstairs parts and three downstairs parts.

14
00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:17.300
And I found that this has been very helpful.

15
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:23.260
And you know, even when we've been doing laser coaching and so forth with leaders and people

16
00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:28.540
doing the kingdom leadership elective in the school, I've noticed that you can tell

17
00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:34.500
them about this framework, but only when you apply it again and again and again, do they

18
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:35.740
get it.

19
00:01:35.740 --> 00:01:39.460
So I found that, so I'm just going to tell you what the framework is.

20
00:01:39.460 --> 00:01:42.860
I'm going to branch it out a little bit, but then I'm going to take it up a level.

21
00:01:42.860 --> 00:01:49.220
So it's more sort of an executive approach on how to use the framework in training other

22
00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:51.140
kingdom leaders.

23
00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:55.500
And if they're not kingdom, you can skip the upstairs part and go straight to the downstairs

24
00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:56.500
part.

25
00:01:56.500 --> 00:02:00.460
And there's a variant I've got for people who are not kingdom leaders.

26
00:02:00.460 --> 00:02:08.580
And here's the framework that has really moved people into something new.

27
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:16.280
And so as we step into this idea of how does, you know, Matthew 11, 28 through 30 work properly

28
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.500
in terms of yoke, how does that yoke partnership work?

29
00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:23.460
A new word we've been really working a lot is oneness.

30
00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:25.660
Your primary purpose is oneness.

31
00:02:25.660 --> 00:02:27.900
And then that oneness has a purpose.

32
00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:33.620
And what that language is fixing in the kingdom, it's fixing this idea that we go and do things

33
00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:34.620
for God.

34
00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:36.240
We skip the oneness part.

35
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:41.780
We just check in with him regularly and we do this visitational thing and then we go

36
00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:42.780
straight to purpose.

37
00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:49.420
And the problem with that is you will kill the purpose of God in you if that's the way

38
00:02:50.420 --> 00:02:53.620
you think about it.

39
00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:59.780
So for me, I've seen that what shifted a lot of people when we say your primary purpose

40
00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:05.380
is your oneness with the Lord and rest is the doorway into that space.

41
00:03:05.380 --> 00:03:06.640
That's why we come to him.

42
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.540
We do the exchange of being heavy laden and worried and concerned and all that stuff.

43
00:03:12.540 --> 00:03:19.300
We have to let worry and concern go in order to step into that oneness because it doesn't

44
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:20.300
belong in the kingdom.

45
00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.340
It's not normal to worry.

46
00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:25.260
It's not normal to be concerned.

47
00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:31.860
You know, and Jesus told us that Paul told us that that, you know, that we're not allowed

48
00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:37.580
because it's not normal in the kingdom to worry, be concerned, be feel heavy laden,

49
00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:39.740
feel stressed, feel anxious.

50
00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:46.320
It's completely unnecessary because rest is overcomes all of that.

51
00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:51.320
And so what that sets us up in the yoke into the oneness thing is it sets us up into a

52
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:53.480
different modality, a different thinking.

53
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:58.760
Okay, so with that as our background, it's been a year's worth of exploration together

54
00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:01.080
as we've gone through this.

55
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.660
And here's the framework, three upstairs things, three downstairs things.

56
00:04:04.660 --> 00:04:09.220
The three upstairs things is all about getting God's heart.

57
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:13.700
And the three downstairs things is all about how to take bold action that's really effective

58
00:04:13.700 --> 00:04:15.440
and moves the needle.

59
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:21.600
So the three upstairs things are, number one, what possibility do you see, Father?

60
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.340
Because when we're facing problems, we know it's like flipping a coin.

61
00:04:25.340 --> 00:04:29.140
The tails of the coin, which is the problem side, is facing up.

62
00:04:29.140 --> 00:04:33.180
We flip it heads up because now we're going straight into possibility.

63
00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:38.800
So we flip the coin and we say, Father, what possibility do you see?

64
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.800
Because now the conversation moves not from what we used to do, what our current problem

65
00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:49.540
is, the challenge we're facing, all that stuff gets put to the side, that we put a pause

66
00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:53.260
on the problem and we put play on the possibility.

67
00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:55.660
So we hit play and we say, what's the possibility?

68
00:04:55.660 --> 00:04:59.860
Second question is, how do you want me to partner with you in this?

69
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.940
I'm going to talk a little bit about how the Lord, how the Father selects that possibility,

70
00:05:04.940 --> 00:05:10.500
which is mind-blowing to me about how He does that because it's so beautiful.

71
00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:13.900
And so how do you want me to partner with you in this?

72
00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:18.740
The reason I raise that up is because God is selecting possibilities for your highest

73
00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:19.740
good.

74
00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:24.780
With every problem, the possibility attaches isn't just to resolve the downstairs problem,

75
00:05:24.780 --> 00:05:27.420
but to upgrade you.

76
00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:31.020
The possibility is designed to bring beauty into your life.

77
00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:33.340
It's designed to bring redemption.

78
00:05:33.340 --> 00:05:38.040
It's designed to create something because you walk with the Creator.

79
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.620
It's designed to redeem something because of Jesus, the Redeemer.

80
00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:47.140
And it's designed to resolve the problem because the Holy Spirit is the genius executive of

81
00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:48.140
the God.

82
00:05:48.140 --> 00:05:50.660
He's the one who knows how to execute exactly.

83
00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:57.260
So how do you want me to partner with you is really opening up your mindset to an upgrade

84
00:05:57.260 --> 00:06:01.240
in what this possibility that He's saying.

85
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.420
So that has usually a lot more to do with you than it has to do with the circumstances.

86
00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:11.840
And then the third question is, how do you want me to be with my team in this?

87
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:13.060
So I want you to be calm.

88
00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:14.380
I want you to be enthusiastic.

89
00:06:14.380 --> 00:06:15.780
I want you to be bold.

90
00:06:15.780 --> 00:06:19.700
I want you to be... and He usually gives... for me, it's usually a single word.

91
00:06:19.700 --> 00:06:24.940
It's like I want you to be... and then there's something peaceful.

92
00:06:24.940 --> 00:06:25.940
All this chaos.

93
00:06:25.940 --> 00:06:28.220
I want you to be relaxed.

94
00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:29.660
I want you to be...

95
00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:32.820
I want you to be like super excited, right?

96
00:06:32.820 --> 00:06:35.620
Like I'm super excited about this right now.

97
00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:40.080
And I'm super excited because I've seen how much this is opening up for people.

98
00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:42.020
So those are the three upstairs questions.

99
00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:44.200
Number one, what possibility do you see, Father?

100
00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:46.260
Number two, how do you want me to partner with you in this?

101
00:06:46.260 --> 00:06:50.340
And number three, how do you want me to be with my team in this?

102
00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:54.020
I suppose one could say with our team since we're one with Him, right?

103
00:06:54.100 --> 00:06:56.620
Okay, well, how do we do our team?

104
00:06:56.620 --> 00:07:03.460
The downstairs, three things that I've seen really helps.

105
00:07:03.460 --> 00:07:08.900
The three things that really help on the downstairs that help us take bold action.

106
00:07:08.900 --> 00:07:14.220
And the reason now that we're equipped with those three upstairs things, there's a boldness

107
00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:18.580
because our confidence is we're right in the middle of God's plan.

108
00:07:18.580 --> 00:07:19.940
We're right in the middle of His will.

109
00:07:19.940 --> 00:07:22.140
We're right in the middle of what it is He wants.

110
00:07:22.140 --> 00:07:26.100
And we're really clear about how He wants us to be in that.

111
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:29.140
And so because of that, now we can do three things.

112
00:07:29.140 --> 00:07:34.660
We can face the facts, commit to the possibility, empower our team.

113
00:07:34.660 --> 00:07:36.080
Let's go through that.

114
00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:39.660
Face the facts means look, upstairs we have the truth.

115
00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:41.220
Downstairs we have the facts.

116
00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:44.620
Now we can face the facts because we have the upstairs truth.

117
00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:45.780
We see the possibility.

118
00:07:45.780 --> 00:07:47.420
We see what the Lord is doing.

119
00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:49.700
Now we can be really bold.

120
00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:57.060
I love the way it says, I think it's in Romans 4, that Abraham faced the facts of the age

121
00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:59.060
of his body, the age of his wife's body.

122
00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:00.940
I mean, he's 100, she's 90.

123
00:08:00.940 --> 00:08:02.140
He's looking at the facts.

124
00:08:02.140 --> 00:08:05.740
The fact is there's no way we're having a son.

125
00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:11.620
But the scripture says he faced the facts while not diminishing his faith.

126
00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:16.480
And so when we come from the upstairs, we can face the facts much more boldly.

127
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:21.760
Because the first job of a leader and a downstairs job of a leader is to face the facts as they

128
00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:30.320
are, clear, unvarnished, not dressed up, because it helps people focus, no sugarcoating, no

129
00:08:30.320 --> 00:08:32.840
watering down the situation.

130
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:38.760
Because what it does is it brings people into the actual facts of the situation so that

131
00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:42.600
it acts as a baseline to see what God can do.

132
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:48.160
Because if we pretend that the problems are two, but really it's a nine, then what happens

133
00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:51.680
is when the Lord solves a nine, we thank him for the two.

134
00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:58.160
So we have to face the facts stated, maybe even a little overstated, I would do, just

135
00:08:58.160 --> 00:08:59.280
while we're practicing.

136
00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:03.160
Because as believers, a lot of times we think we're not allowed to be negative.

137
00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:05.360
We're not allowed to call things out.

138
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.080
But you have to call things out before you can call them up.

139
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:16.740
And so for me, I've made the mistake of not calling things out exactly as they are.

140
00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:20.160
And when I face the facts, it's a hard thing.

141
00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:22.840
Sometimes you have to, sometimes they're huge.

142
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.960
Sometimes you have to let a business die.

143
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.440
Sometimes you have to let a product die.

144
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.620
Sometimes you have to let a key customer go.

145
00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:34.320
Sometimes you have to let a key employee go.

146
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.760
You have to face the facts.

147
00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:36.760
It's hard.

148
00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:37.760
It's tough.

149
00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:39.360
But here's what it is.

150
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.840
We're not becoming concerned, worried, anxious about that because we already started in the

151
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:44.840
upstairs.

152
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.260
We started in God's heart.

153
00:09:46.260 --> 00:09:48.680
And then we commit to the possibility.

154
00:09:48.680 --> 00:09:53.560
And when we commit to the possibility, because now we're saying to our team, and I found

155
00:09:53.560 --> 00:09:59.360
that coming up with a single phrase that really encapsulate, but what if, I love that.

156
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:08.240
team what if we pull this off what if we 10x our our revenue in the next 12 months what if and

157
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:15.280
suddenly possibility opens up people are inspired by possibility they're inspired by okay so those

158
00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:23.600
are the facts but what if we actually pull this off and i love when we when we do the what if

159
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.320
possibility is when the lord steps in and we see that acceleration effect you know it gets into

160
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:36.240
your boat suddenly you're on the other side stuff starts to happen because he is a quickening

161
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:44.800
spirit i love that um so i want to i'm going to spend a minute around uh part of doing this

162
00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:49.600
committing to the possibilities not just you committing you have to be all in but then call

163
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:56.320
your team into committing to the possibility that we're going to do this this could happen

164
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.680
where now if there are you know believers you can explain what the upstairs stuff is if they don't

165
00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:07.120
know about that they'll just know that you're very bold and very confident about this and your

166
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:13.600
confidence is because you have upstairs permission and upstairs permission leads to bold downstairs

167
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:19.680
action because your your confidence isn't based in your own ability it's based in your permission

168
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:26.000
it's based on whose you are who you in partnership with so i hope that was really a helpful little

169
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.800
introduction and then the last step is we empower the team and this really comes down

170
00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:38.240
to creating euros you know i i love some of the things that we've been saying and teaching

171
00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:46.080
you know that when we when we make somebody the hero of the story um brian robinson's made this

172
00:11:47.680 --> 00:11:53.600
brian robinson wrote extensively about the problem of the heroic leader where i have to be

173
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.640
the one who can predict the future and control and i'm the source of all wisdom and knowledge

174
00:11:58.640 --> 00:12:06.960
and the fate of the enterprise is in my hands and that's becoming ever increasingly more impossible

175
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:15.040
so in the world of expanding complexity ai technology movements you know political change

176
00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:22.000
um i mean he argues that the concept is now becoming actually unachievable unattainable

177
00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:29.760
and so here's what true leaders do especially kingdom leaders they're not the heroes true

178
00:12:29.760 --> 00:12:35.760
leaders create heroes so if you can create not just a team of leaders but a team of heroes people

179
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:42.560
who feel like heroes that means you know look life is short so few people get their moment in

180
00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:49.440
the spotlight if we can put them in the spotlight you know then what happens is you have a strong

181
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:55.200
team who can pivot in difficult times when you're facing the facts of what you're doing

182
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.440
you're moving the entire team with a group who know what it's like to take on something they've

183
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:08.320
never tried before and be successful and be made the ear of the story so i think it's a huge relief

184
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:15.760
for leaders to back this trend like we have to be you know we have to be this being a main leader

185
00:13:15.760 --> 00:13:21.680
it's like in you know lord of the rings and you know aragorn sword and then charge and then we

186
00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:28.560
all charge behind you know i think that modality is a is a poor one and so that's why we've

187
00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:34.000
introduced the analogy of the leader as a conductor of the orchestra you don't have to make

188
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:40.480
a sound you just have to point who's up next okay now we have this person now we have that person

189
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:47.680
you know and getting that you're just conducting you're convening if you like the the environment

190
00:13:47.680 --> 00:13:52.800
so i love for us that this takes the pressure off because we're in partnership with the lord and so

191
00:13:52.800 --> 00:14:00.800
we can start creating heroes and i think here's the thing that this does when you use every

192
00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:07.120
problem in your business as a leadership opportunity not just to upgrade you but to upgrade

193
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:14.000
them i think we often say at brilliant things like okay let's let's make this a leadership

194
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:21.920
opportunity let's make this a leadership training moment because you use every problem challenge

195
00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:27.520
ups downs whatever in the business as a way for their benefit you're teaching them how the lord

196
00:14:27.520 --> 00:14:34.080
is with us whether they know him or not okay let me invest in you let me make this work for you so

197
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:38.720
it encourages people to go beyond their limits beyond their boundaries to do what they thought

198
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:45.120
they couldn't do and so this what this does is it makes space for new leadership to arise people who

199
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:51.600
we may not have seen as leaders and as i've been doing this i've been noticing another trend

200
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:57.360
there was a fantastic ted talk on this why we promote the wrong people and

201
00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.920
this whole thing of empowering your team

202
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.160
team is we often promote the people who are loudest, who are good at creating

203
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:10.560
profiles for themselves, who are talkative, who, you know, who always have opinions,

204
00:15:10.760 --> 00:15:17.320
etc. But many times the organization is actually moved forward and built on the

205
00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:21.360
quiet leaders, the ones who just quietly get on with it and execute.

206
00:15:21.560 --> 00:15:23.440
And it's it's really important that we

207
00:15:23.640 --> 00:15:27.360
don't get caught up in this trap that we're promoting the loud, the self

208
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:34.520
promoters. So I found some of the best leaders are not good at creating profiles

209
00:15:34.520 --> 00:15:37.760
for themselves, especially if they believe is because it's the whole it's all the

210
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.480
Lord, it's not me. We were doing some laser coaching

211
00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:44.880
yesterday in the Kingdom Leadership Group.

212
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.400
And and this one lady's talked about how

213
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:53.800
she got given a job to train all these banking people in her job.

214
00:15:53.800 --> 00:15:55.320
And she'd never done that before.

215
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.440
And in the process, she took all the training we did.

216
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.440
She took these three upstairs things, three downstairs things.

217
00:16:01.640 --> 00:16:05.120
And she said and she partnered with the Lord throughout October.

218
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.840
So it's really a recent story.

219
00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:12.040
And in the process of doing that, she said they said it was the best training

220
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.760
they'd ever had. And then and then to us, she said, well,

221
00:16:14.760 --> 00:16:16.200
you know, it was all the Lord. It wasn't me.

222
00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:18.840
And so I said, no, it was you.

223
00:16:19.040 --> 00:16:22.120
If he's amazing, you have to become amazing.

224
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.760
Jesus said, I do what I see the father do and it will amaze you.

225
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.200
The downstairs execution has to be

226
00:16:29.400 --> 00:16:32.760
amazing to the world and people have to become amazing.

227
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:37.720
So let's not gloss over the people who naturally kind of just execute well,

228
00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:42.040
smile politely and then get on with it, because some of the best CEOs in the world

229
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.840
are not the celebrity CEOs you and I think of.

230
00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:49.400
So when we do this, when we create euros,

231
00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:54.840
we really just unleash innovation and growth on scale in our business.

232
00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:59.240
So so here's the here's a couple of things I've learned about doing this.

233
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.440
And then and then we're going to stop and have a chat.

234
00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:06.599
So two leaders let the heroes in their team learn,

235
00:17:06.800 --> 00:17:10.440
because I think the hardest thing for a leader is to accept that our team

236
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.520
members will make different mistakes than we will.

237
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.280
We see their flaws too easily.

238
00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:16.760
We see how they could mess up.

239
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:18.839
We could see how they miss things in certain

240
00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:21.040
areas or stuff they didn't handle well.

241
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.000
So we create these strict systems designed so that they don't fail.

242
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.560
It's the worst possible thing.

243
00:17:26.760 --> 00:17:30.640
Yes, we can put boundaries in place, but if they cannot fail, they cannot learn.

244
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.200
If they cannot learn, they cannot grow.

245
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.080
If they cannot grow, we're not innovating.

246
00:17:34.280 --> 00:17:38.240
So it's a horrible way to train people to fulfill a mission for sure.

247
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.800
So because in my experience, euros are born out of the chaos,

248
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.560
out of the courage that it takes in the middle of the chaos to get up again

249
00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:52.200
and say, we can do this, I mean, I'm committing to the possibility.

250
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.960
And there are people who commit quietly to the possibility in your team.

251
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.680
But if you draw them out, say, how are you?

252
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:00.480
I'm all in. I'm all in.

253
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:06.080
I'm all in. Often the naysayers in the team are just used to having the stage.

254
00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:07.520
They're used to having the mic.

255
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.760
So don't let them manage the the team's

256
00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:14.840
commitment to possibility just because they're loud.

257
00:18:15.040 --> 00:18:17.160
And sometimes you actually have to stop them.

258
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.680
I've had to stop and say, OK, we'll get to all the black hat stuff another day.

259
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:22.680
Right now we're committing to the possibility.

260
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:24.560
Are you in?

261
00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:29.040
And when you put that when you put it that straight, that helps.

262
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.600
So, again, great leaders aren't trying to be the heroes.

263
00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:36.360
They're inspiring and empowering others to be the hero.

264
00:18:36.560 --> 00:18:39.080
So they create this clear sense of the possibility.

265
00:18:39.280 --> 00:18:40.240
We're doing this.

266
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.080
They allow people to make mistakes in committing to the possibility,

267
00:18:44.280 --> 00:18:46.120
but they teach them to get up and go again.

268
00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:47.840
Come on, you can do this.

269
00:18:48.040 --> 00:18:51.880
All right, I'm going to take a breather there and we can chat a bit.

270
00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:55.040
So since we're such a tiny group today,

271
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.000
hey, Ben, how are you doing?

272
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:58.800
Welcome.

273
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.120
I'm honored to join the brilliant team today.

274
00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:04.120
That's what's good. It's not even the whole team.

275
00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:06.000
That's a crazy bit.

276
00:19:06.800 --> 00:19:08.040
Yeah, well, thank you.

277
00:19:08.040 --> 00:19:11.560
I know a lot of people accepted and then, you know, obviously stuff came up,

278
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:18.600
but it really is us for no more today and good, good stuff.

279
00:19:18.800 --> 00:19:20.160
What I I'm sorry I was late.

280
00:19:20.360 --> 00:19:26.280
We're actually just had a flurry of, you know, activity, you know,

281
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.240
that we're trying to to get ready, lots of commercial jobs that are people

282
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:35.560
are moving on that we're trying to get kind of figured out, empowering the team

283
00:19:35.560 --> 00:19:41.280
right to get the the estimates completed, but providing the technical,

284
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.680
you know, know how, I guess, as as necessary.

285
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.680
But it's good to see you guys.

286
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.200
Yeah, good for you.

287
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.160
Well, we're going through.

288
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:55.120
We're going through such a transition here at Brilliant.

289
00:19:55.320 --> 00:19:58.320
At Brilliance three weeks ago, whatever,

290
00:19:58.520 --> 00:19:59.400
Brilliance event.

291
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.460
You know, we had three times more people register than we had in the spring.

292
00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:11.600
And we saw the Lord do something, because for the first time, it wasn't all Graham or

293
00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:16.340
Graham and me, it was the whole team were teaching, and training and hearing that in

294
00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:20.540
lots of voices, it felt to us like we stepped into a new space.

295
00:20:20.540 --> 00:20:26.140
And so I've been asking the Lord, how does that transition or translate into kingdom

296
00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:27.260
leadership?

297
00:20:27.260 --> 00:20:28.860
What's our advantage here?

298
00:20:28.860 --> 00:20:29.860
Right?

299
00:20:29.860 --> 00:20:34.420
And if you think about it, the ups, you know, upstairs advantage is that it settles us down

300
00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:38.540
internally, it stops that internal noise, the chaos where you can't think.

301
00:20:38.540 --> 00:20:45.180
And I've realized that rest, why rest is so genius, is because you're, you're most present

302
00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:50.280
to the situation, you're most present to his presence, you're most creative, you're most

303
00:20:50.280 --> 00:20:55.380
in the moment, you can you can think clearly, because you're at rest.

304
00:20:55.380 --> 00:21:01.240
And I think often, the chaos of the problem is worse than the problem itself.

305
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:08.500
The internal noise that a problem creates is the distraction, it's the disability,

306
00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:09.500
if you like.

307
00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:15.620
And so in the kingdom, we remove that disability, because we come to rest because we can.

308
00:21:15.620 --> 00:21:18.960
Because our confidence is Lord, you're in this with me, right?

309
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.140
You know, thank you that you're with me.

310
00:21:21.140 --> 00:21:23.400
Thank you that you will never leave me.

311
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:24.880
Thank you that you're protecting me.

312
00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:26.940
Thank you that you're fashioning this thing.

313
00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:29.800
I'm so glad we're in this together.

314
00:21:29.800 --> 00:21:33.820
And so what's the possibility, Lord, what do you see?

315
00:21:33.820 --> 00:21:39.200
I'm always amazed at the stuff he says, you know, I can, I rarely can predict what he's

316
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.980
gonna say next.

317
00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:46.140
So because he just sees the world so beautifully.

318
00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:49.900
Yeah, he knows, he sees it from the end, right?

319
00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:56.520
And man, the enemy is so focused on making sure he can convince us of, like, you know,

320
00:21:56.520 --> 00:21:59.720
our disaster that's unfolding.

321
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:01.840
I think you're spot on.

322
00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:04.480
Because he's a disaster that's unfolding.

323
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.320
Yeah, right.

324
00:22:07.320 --> 00:22:09.000
That's the narrative he knows, right?

325
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.320
No, it was all he knows.

326
00:22:11.320 --> 00:22:15.280
I laughed so hard a few weeks ago, Graham and I were preparing something.

327
00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:19.480
He said, I don't know what all the fuss about the enemy's doing this, enemy's doing that.

328
00:22:20.060 --> 00:22:21.540
Let's be fascinated by what Jesus is doing.

329
00:22:21.540 --> 00:22:23.740
Look, the enemy is such a loser.

330
00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:26.940
He couldn't even make it in heaven.

331
00:22:26.940 --> 00:22:29.100
Just saying.

332
00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:33.740
And when he said that, I don't know why I laughed so hard and just like, how, what an

333
00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:39.940
idiot do you have to be that you can't even make it in heaven, people, with the presence

334
00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:47.820
of the Lord and all the creative power of the Creator and, you know, but here's what

335
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.440
I want to, I want to dig deeper into this for us.

336
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:57.880
And maybe it's great that we're just a few folks here today, but I know many will catch

337
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.180
up on the recording.

338
00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:03.420
I want to dig into this thing of possibility.

339
00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:05.800
How does, because that was the title of the topic today.

340
00:23:05.800 --> 00:23:09.880
How does possibility work in the kingdom specifically?

341
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:14.000
Now I went through the quick model upstairs, Father, what's the possibility?

342
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.320
How do you want me to be in that?

343
00:23:15.320 --> 00:23:17.040
How do you want me as a team?

344
00:23:17.040 --> 00:23:18.720
Because then, okay, I got it.

345
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.720
Face the facts.

346
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:20.720
State them as they are.

347
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:21.880
Don't sugarcoat it.

348
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:24.960
Number two, commit to the possibility and get your team to commit.

349
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:29.360
The number three, empower them to go and execute, be the conductor and make heroes.

350
00:23:29.360 --> 00:23:30.360
Okay.

351
00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:31.360
Well, that is the framework.

352
00:23:31.360 --> 00:23:32.920
Let's put that aside for a second.

353
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:37.500
Let's build on that because we've more or less talked through that sort of thing before,

354
00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:41.760
but this time I've hopefully made it simple and clear in steps.

355
00:23:41.760 --> 00:23:44.080
I'm trying to make it simple and clear.

356
00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:54.440
So the question is, how does God select possibility?

357
00:23:54.440 --> 00:24:00.040
And how does he see it?

358
00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:07.840
And so I realized that there are a couple of assumptions he makes.

359
00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:14.040
And if they're his assumptions, then they're absolutes because he's not just assuming

360
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.440
and hoping he's right.

361
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.200
He knows what it is.

362
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.240
And here's the first thing.

363
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.440
In the kingdom, there is no negative.

364
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:24.000
There are no negatives in the kingdom.

365
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.480
There are no upstairs negatives.

366
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.920
And you say, well, that's obvious.

367
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.920
But is it?

368
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:33.280
I think we often find ourselves stuck in the downstairs negative.

369
00:24:33.280 --> 00:24:36.820
And then we try to bring that negative upstairs to the Lord.

370
00:24:36.820 --> 00:24:38.720
And he says, no, no, I don't want that plan.

371
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:42.960
I'm not trying because we try to persuade the Lord through prayer and our stuff and

372
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:47.360
fasting, whatever it is we think we have to do to get him to come and intervene in

373
00:24:47.360 --> 00:24:49.800
our downstairs problem.

374
00:24:49.800 --> 00:24:52.360
What if that's not at all what the plan is?

375
00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:59.040
What if the plan is for you to join him upstairs in his life in this, that he has a life with

376
00:24:59.040 --> 00:24:59.920
you in your.

377
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.840
He has a life with you in your family, a life with you in your life, but he's wanting you

378
00:25:04.840 --> 00:25:06.520
to join his life.

379
00:25:06.520 --> 00:25:10.600
That's why Paul said, it is no longer I that live, but Christ who lives in me.

380
00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:16.920
In other words, what if that is an actual physical space?

381
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:20.680
So if you think about all a negative is, is the absence of something.

382
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:23.360
We've talked a great deal about this in the past.

383
00:25:23.360 --> 00:25:27.760
You know, we just use the word light and dark because it's a long worded thing in English

384
00:25:27.760 --> 00:25:29.840
to say light in the absence of light, light.

385
00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:34.160
And can you, can you fix the absence of light and put on the light switch, please?

386
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:35.860
That's a hard, that's a lot of words.

387
00:25:35.860 --> 00:25:37.640
So we just call the absence of something.

388
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:38.640
We gave it a name.

389
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.200
We called it darkness, but doesn't mean darkness is a thing.

390
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.200
Darkness is the absence.

391
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:46.800
So all the enemy has is the absence of stuff.

392
00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:50.640
The absence of revelation, the absence of joy, the absence of peace, because he doesn't

393
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:51.640
have any of this.

394
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:52.640
He doesn't have peace.

395
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:53.640
He doesn't have patience.

396
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:54.640
He doesn't have joy.

397
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:55.640
He doesn't have goodness.

398
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:56.640
He doesn't have kindness.

399
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.640
He doesn't have anything.

400
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:58.720
He doesn't have anything to do.

401
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:03.480
The only one thing he can do is take what is and degenerate it to nothing.

402
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.480
That's all he's got.

403
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:08.120
So he's got to lie, cheat, you know, and that's why he's so boring.

404
00:26:08.120 --> 00:26:09.440
He's a defeated foe.

405
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:13.360
Jesus catastrophically destroyed him at the cross, done.

406
00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:16.620
So the enemy has nothing of his own.

407
00:26:16.620 --> 00:26:19.120
He can only corrupt what is.

408
00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:26.200
Now if you know that, you realize that his only thing he can do in the corruption to

409
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.560
deceive is to give nothingness cool names.

410
00:26:30.560 --> 00:26:33.880
Oh, it's freedom to sleep around.

411
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.680
Now that's just freedom for depression.

412
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.680
There's no freedom.

413
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.760
It's bondage to depression.

414
00:26:39.760 --> 00:26:43.960
You can literally take his words and flip them to the opposite, and that's actually

415
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.080
the truth of what he's offering.

416
00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:50.120
So what he's doing is he's got a system of wrapping papers where he gives cool names

417
00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:56.680
to nothingness, and then he packages up nothingness and then threatens us with it.

418
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:58.720
You know, what if this fails?

419
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:00.080
What if you can't do payroll?

420
00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:01.080
What if you can't?

421
00:27:01.080 --> 00:27:05.640
All he can do is give the condition of nothingness.

422
00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:12.720
So what if we just completely, this is a mind boggling idea as business leaders.

423
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:19.880
What if we can turn off internally and completely reject all negatives?

424
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:21.960
Is it even possible?

425
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.720
Because negativity lives downstairs, can't live in the kingdom.

426
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:28.120
No one in the kingdom is running around going, oh, what if we can't do this?

427
00:27:28.120 --> 00:27:35.320
No one in heaven is having panic moments about, oh no, we never thought of AI in the 21st

428
00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:38.840
century and impact on this business.

429
00:27:38.840 --> 00:27:42.240
There is no just possibility, glorious possibility.

430
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:47.520
And so what negativity does is it keeps people downstairs, but more importantly, it offers

431
00:27:47.520 --> 00:27:49.760
them very meager possibilities.

432
00:27:49.760 --> 00:27:54.320
The possibilities downstairs are always small because they're born in the mind, not in the

433
00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:56.400
heart.

434
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.320
Think about this.

435
00:27:59.320 --> 00:28:03.840
As a leader, I've noticed this in other leaders too, and myself.

436
00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:08.800
If you try to think it through straight out of your mind, then what happens is your mind

437
00:28:08.800 --> 00:28:11.200
will set up a small option.

438
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:12.200
Why?

439
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:13.920
Because it's protecting you, right?

440
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:17.440
We've used the analogy of, you know, the lion in the bush.

441
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:20.120
You're walking through the bush and you're rustling.

442
00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:21.120
Is that the wind?

443
00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:22.120
Is that a lion?

444
00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:25.960
Well, your mind will choose the worst case condition because it's protecting you.

445
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:29.240
Because if you think it's the wind and it is a lion, you're in trouble.

446
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.040
So it says, okay, it's a lion, even if it isn't.

447
00:28:32.040 --> 00:28:35.800
Because at least if you ran and it was just the wind, you're still safe either way.

448
00:28:35.800 --> 00:28:42.880
So your mind always sets up, it uses your history to set up the lowest possible expectation

449
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:44.400
to keep you the safest place.

450
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:48.360
And it gives you the smallest option, unless it's your renewed mind in Jesus, but I'm just

451
00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:50.020
talking about your mind.

452
00:28:50.020 --> 00:28:52.520
Because your mind is just an instrument serving you.

453
00:28:52.520 --> 00:28:57.120
But when your mind knows what your heart believes, it goes to a whole different level.

454
00:28:57.120 --> 00:28:58.320
It just scales up.

455
00:28:58.320 --> 00:29:00.280
Oh, we believe God is opening this up.

456
00:29:00.280 --> 00:29:02.320
Oh, well, in that case, we could call this person.

457
00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:03.320
We could do this.

458
00:29:03.320 --> 00:29:06.060
It goes into a creative state.

459
00:29:06.060 --> 00:29:08.400
So the heart has to lead.

460
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:12.680
So that means upstairs, we have to catch what God is doing.

461
00:29:13.120 --> 00:29:16.160
This negativity thing really destroys us.

462
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:20.600
So here's what I've learned as I've asked the Lord, you know, Jesus introduced his father

463
00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:26.520
as the God where all things are possible, not all things are probable, or probably unlikely

464
00:29:26.520 --> 00:29:29.320
because you know, you probably have done something to screw it up.

465
00:29:29.320 --> 00:29:34.840
So you know, maybe that is not what Jesus introduced.

466
00:29:34.840 --> 00:29:37.080
All things are possible.

467
00:29:37.080 --> 00:29:40.000
And so, but here's what shocked me.

468
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:48.600
What if, and I believe this is true, God is the ultimate whole that envelops all possibilities

469
00:29:48.600 --> 00:29:50.440
and all actuality.

470
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:56.600
In other words, anything that's possible outside of him, there is nothing that's possible.

471
00:29:56.600 --> 00:29:58.720
There are no possibilities outside of him.

472
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.480
So what does that mean? Well, that's a very big space because all things are possible in Him.

473
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.040
You can also, if it's possible, it's in Him.

474
00:30:08.800 --> 00:30:15.440
So in the kingdom, nothing exists outside of relationship. That's why everything with God is

475
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:20.560
relational. How does this upgrade you? How does this upgrade your team? How does this make our

476
00:30:20.560 --> 00:30:26.320
relationship more sweet, more beautiful, more intimate? How can you be more present to my

477
00:30:26.320 --> 00:30:31.760
presence in the midst of challenging situations? So we have to understand that God is not only

478
00:30:31.760 --> 00:30:38.000
deeply relational, but His whole mechanism of creativity is based out of this relational

479
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:44.640
concept, the space. So His love does a lot more than just, oh, I affirm your being, I love you,

480
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:50.560
and so on. It draws you out and beyond your present circumstances into a possibility He's

481
00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:55.680
offering. So this is how it is. What if we're co-creating with God in the universe? What if

482
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.320
He hasn't stopped creating? What if every time there's a possibility He goes, oh, there's something

483
00:31:00.320 --> 00:31:06.800
new we can create? And here's the mind-blowing part I want to share with you. When you think

484
00:31:06.800 --> 00:31:15.680
of the three plus me, the Creator, the Redeemer, and the Helper, then think of every possibility.

485
00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:22.720
The three of them have optimized it for your highest good, like this. Father says, you know,

486
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:28.480
if I can partner with Dion in this, we could create this new thing that never existed before.

487
00:31:29.040 --> 00:31:35.440
He's still creating. So now we're way past the problem. Now we're taking a possibility

488
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:44.480
and I add my partnership, now something new is created. So it takes our partnership,

489
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:50.080
He set it up that way. It takes our partnership to take that possibility and make it a reality.

490
00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:53.840
So when you think of creativity in that sense,

491
00:31:55.200 --> 00:32:03.200
because He's got this huge treasure trove of new possibilities for you, but He partners with us

492
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:09.200
in yoke for the very best possibilities in that situation. So that situation

493
00:32:10.560 --> 00:32:17.760
could have hundreds of possibilities, right? And He does attach a possibility to a situation.

494
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.640
The question is, which one does He choose?

495
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:29.920
When I saw this, I realized God's valuation of possibilities is based on beauty and goodness,

496
00:32:31.040 --> 00:32:36.080
because the whole creative process with Him begins with His vision of beauty and goodness.

497
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:44.640
Meaning, He's looking at you and He's saying, okay, how can I give Ben the highest amount

498
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:51.360
of goodness out of this situation? And how can I bring goodness to others through this thing we

499
00:32:51.360 --> 00:32:57.440
create together? And then Jesus pops in and says, hey, the Redeemer, I want to redeem Ben back to

500
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:02.080
where he was before he got dinged. We all live life, we all got dinged. Some of us wasn't just

501
00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:06.880
a ding, it was like an anvil fell on us or maybe a house. I mean, some of the dings are pretty bad.

502
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:12.160
You can't be alive in this world and not get dinged. But redemption is not restoration.

503
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:18.400
Restoring is restoring to what was. Redemption is taking you up to original design as though you

504
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:24.720
were never dinged in the first place. Wow. So now God sets up that possibility with so much

505
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:30.560
goodness and beauty is, let's bring them up to here, to their full stature in the kingdom. Let's

506
00:33:30.560 --> 00:33:36.080
bring him up to that. So Jesus says, let's use this situation, build his confidence, overcome all

507
00:33:36.080 --> 00:33:41.280
that stuff in his past, in his history, that one time he failed, as many times he failed, whatever,

508
00:33:41.280 --> 00:33:48.800
redeem you fully back. And then the help says, I want to help. Because that's where all the

509
00:33:48.800 --> 00:33:54.800
creativity, the know-how, the helper, the spirit of wisdom, revelation, knowledge, how to do this,

510
00:33:54.800 --> 00:34:00.400
how to pull this off, where to go, the steps to take, how to empower the team, genius Holy Spirit.

511
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:07.680
Now that is a different idea in the kingdom, in my view, as to what possibility looks like.

512
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.560
What do you guys think? Let me be there for a minute.

513
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.080
Glenn. Hey guys, apologies for not being on camera.

514
00:34:19.600 --> 00:34:25.600
Something you said Dion, I've been pondering, so you made the comment there, optimized for

515
00:34:25.600 --> 00:34:30.639
our highest good. That's what the Lord is doing. I love that. Something I've been pondering

516
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.600
is being, that is like the anchor, that is the thing that's sure,

517
00:34:35.600 --> 00:34:39.760
but the possibilities are infinite to the accomplishment of that goal.

518
00:34:42.560 --> 00:34:49.199
Because I was kind of thinking, because a lot of the, it's almost like a simultaneous equation

519
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:53.280
that the Lord is working. Because there's many variables, it could be other people,

520
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:58.640
situations, circumstances that could, could happen or occur and all of this type of stuff.

521
00:34:58.640 --> 00:35:00.080
But if that happens,

522
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.360
The Lord has an infinite number of ways to resolve that.

523
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:05.320
He'll always accomplish that purpose

524
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.360
of our highest good, always.

525
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.040
That won't vary.

526
00:35:09.040 --> 00:35:11.060
And that gives incredible confidence

527
00:35:11.060 --> 00:35:13.880
because it doesn't matter what's happening in the world.

528
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:15.640
It doesn't matter what's going on downstairs.

529
00:35:15.640 --> 00:35:17.400
It doesn't matter what.

530
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:19.920
He will accomplish his good purpose in our life.

531
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:21.360
It won't change.

532
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.000
The path to get there could change.

533
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.520
We could see him go in one direction

534
00:35:24.520 --> 00:35:25.680
and then start taking a right turn.

535
00:35:25.680 --> 00:35:27.080
And you're like, well, what happened?

536
00:35:27.080 --> 00:35:28.000
I thought we were going there.

537
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.920
He said, no, no, no.

538
00:35:30.160 --> 00:35:31.760
We're doing this now.

539
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:35.560
But the perfect confidence we can have

540
00:35:35.560 --> 00:35:38.640
is that he will accomplish his good purpose in our life.

541
00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:40.360
He's optimizing for our highest good

542
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:42.220
no matter what the path is.

543
00:35:43.640 --> 00:35:45.360
Exactly, Glenn.

544
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:47.560
In fact, it occurred to me

545
00:35:47.560 --> 00:35:50.560
that we can take the long route or the short route

546
00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:52.520
to that possibility.

547
00:35:52.520 --> 00:35:54.520
That's why we pay for mentors.

548
00:35:54.520 --> 00:35:57.840
That's why we hang out, why we ask for wisdom.

549
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:01.960
Because where we are in our learning

550
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:04.760
opens us up to the short route or the long route.

551
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.400
Either way, he gives us this promise.

552
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:08.680
Don't worry, I'm gonna get you there.

553
00:36:08.680 --> 00:36:09.520
Why?

554
00:36:09.520 --> 00:36:11.680
He's totally committed to his purposes

555
00:36:11.680 --> 00:36:13.360
and his kind intentions towards you.

556
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.760
To such a degree, he gives you a promise.

557
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:18.680
All things work together for the good of them

558
00:36:18.680 --> 00:36:21.800
that love God and are called according to his purpose.

559
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:22.880
He's so confident.

560
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:24.000
Even if you take...

561
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.800
So I think people make decisions into our lives

562
00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:29.480
and then he has to work around it.

563
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:31.440
So it's not always our problems.

564
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.720
Sometimes we get dinged, right?

565
00:36:33.720 --> 00:36:34.840
Really badly.

566
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.680
Yeah, exactly.

567
00:36:35.680 --> 00:36:36.520
That happens.

568
00:36:36.520 --> 00:36:38.080
And when we get dinged like that,

569
00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:39.600
when we go through that,

570
00:36:39.600 --> 00:36:41.080
the Lord says, I'll work through that.

571
00:36:41.080 --> 00:36:41.920
I'll work around it.

572
00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:44.160
Because he cannot violate free will,

573
00:36:44.160 --> 00:36:49.120
which brings back the fact that he is in control of,

574
00:36:49.120 --> 00:36:50.360
he is in control of heaven

575
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.640
and put us in charge of the earth.

576
00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:55.800
But ultimately, regardless of all that free will stuff

577
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:56.640
and all the mess,

578
00:36:56.640 --> 00:36:58.720
because we can tell we're in charge, right?

579
00:36:58.720 --> 00:36:59.560
It doesn't take a lot.

580
00:36:59.560 --> 00:37:00.960
People say, why did God allow?

581
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:02.440
Because he had no choice.

582
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:05.840
What choice would he have,

583
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:07.840
but override people's free will?

584
00:37:09.200 --> 00:37:13.440
And so it goes back to why we can't,

585
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.160
for instance, legislate morality.

586
00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:18.200
We can't say, okay, we need to put in the laws this.

587
00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:20.440
Because if you forced people,

588
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:21.440
like if you made it a law,

589
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:22.400
everyone has to go to church,

590
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.200
how do you know they're repenting?

591
00:37:25.120 --> 00:37:27.680
Or they're just not wanting to go to jail.

592
00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:32.000
So in the end, in a simpler thing,

593
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:36.040
the possibility God is opening up to in your life

594
00:37:36.040 --> 00:37:39.880
is that it doesn't really matter if it takes longer,

595
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:43.360
because he doesn't measure time, he measures growth.

596
00:37:45.520 --> 00:37:48.240
We measure, I'm writing a whole paper

597
00:37:48.240 --> 00:37:50.680
on what does kingdom time look like.

598
00:37:50.680 --> 00:37:52.560
The time in the kingdom is very different

599
00:37:52.560 --> 00:37:54.040
from time downstairs.

600
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:57.960
Time downstairs is based on the planetary motion.

601
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.360
We call that a day, it goes around the sun,

602
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:01.680
we call that a year.

603
00:38:03.240 --> 00:38:06.600
Or we're born on this day, we die on that day,

604
00:38:06.600 --> 00:38:11.120
and we do these little plucked up little day slots.

605
00:38:11.120 --> 00:38:13.360
And so we measure time.

606
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:15.240
Oh, well, I've got 30 years experience.

607
00:38:15.240 --> 00:38:16.760
Well, you've gone through 30 days.

608
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.080
Whether you have one years of experience 30 times,

609
00:38:19.080 --> 00:38:20.600
that's another conversation.

610
00:38:21.600 --> 00:38:22.840
You know, because a lot of people,

611
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:26.600
just because you've lived long doesn't mean you've grown.

612
00:38:26.600 --> 00:38:29.640
And that's the deception downstairs is,

613
00:38:29.640 --> 00:38:32.160
if you've lived long and you know a lot of stuff,

614
00:38:32.160 --> 00:38:33.400
it doesn't matter in the kingdom,

615
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:35.320
it only matters who you're becoming.

616
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:36.680
It doesn't matter what you know.

617
00:38:36.680 --> 00:38:39.680
You can have 16 PhDs in theology and philosophy

618
00:38:39.680 --> 00:38:40.960
and whatever else you want.

619
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.080
It's just downstairs knowing about.

620
00:38:43.080 --> 00:38:45.880
That doesn't open up possibilities.

621
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:49.720
What opens up possibilities is walking with the Lord,

622
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.960
knowing what He's like, knowing who He is,

623
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.960
knowing the vast beauty of Jesus

624
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.640
and the exceptional amount of goodness

625
00:39:02.640 --> 00:39:04.240
that He intends to bring,

626
00:39:04.240 --> 00:39:06.800
not just to our lives, but to the world.

627
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:08.520
That's why I think He just gives gifts

628
00:39:08.520 --> 00:39:09.880
to people who don't even serve Him,

629
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:12.160
because He wants the world to have it anyway.

630
00:39:12.160 --> 00:39:16.480
You know, if all good gifts come from the Father above,

631
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:18.680
then if it's a good thing, let's call it medicine

632
00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:22.400
or some innovation, then that came from heaven, right?

633
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.240
So we can't say, oh, it's just about healing.

634
00:39:26.240 --> 00:39:28.320
And if you go to the doctor, you have no faith,

635
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:29.960
because both came from heaven.

636
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:33.800
So God just wants you well.

637
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.760
So I think He's optimizing for our house good.

638
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:41.720
Well, I'd like to say, I think it gets even better

639
00:39:41.720 --> 00:39:43.880
if I might push it a little here.

640
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:46.480
And I just want to bring out this.

641
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:48.880
The reason why there are no negatives in the kingdom

642
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:51.920
is because negativity is designed to disqualify you

643
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:53.720
from the creative process.

644
00:39:55.120 --> 00:39:57.320
Negativity reminds you of who you're not.

645
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.600
Negativity, you know, it brings God's nature in question.

646
00:40:04.600 --> 00:40:05.800
Why didn't the Lord help you?

647
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:06.800
Why did that happen?

648
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:07.800
Negativity.

649
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:13.520
So what negativity does, it sets, it's designed to pull you out of possibility and lock you

650
00:40:13.520 --> 00:40:16.920
into limitation.

651
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:18.560
That's what it's designed to do.

652
00:40:18.560 --> 00:40:23.480
So it keeps you in the downstairs, but worse, it keeps you into a small space downstairs.

653
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:25.040
It makes us passive.

654
00:40:25.040 --> 00:40:28.560
We don't want to partner with God because I'm waiting for God to do it.

655
00:40:28.560 --> 00:40:33.120
It's the classic thing you see, well, I've got, you know, 10 prophetic words, nothing's

656
00:40:33.120 --> 00:40:34.120
ever happened.

657
00:40:34.120 --> 00:40:37.360
I've sat on them for 20 years because I never partnered with him.

658
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.600
I just passively waited.

659
00:40:40.600 --> 00:40:43.700
Great delusion.

660
00:40:43.700 --> 00:40:49.340
What we just did there is we took, we took the prophetic out of its relational space

661
00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:56.040
and we stuck it into a transactional space.

662
00:40:56.040 --> 00:41:00.320
So the question is, did you become the person that, that brings that word into effect?

663
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:05.200
And it's not even up to you, quote, to become the person is, did you discover who the Lord

664
00:41:05.200 --> 00:41:11.680
is in you and you and him, and did your relationship with him move into your becoming in his likeness

665
00:41:11.680 --> 00:41:15.160
and being in the prophetic word was a wonderful compliment.

666
00:41:15.160 --> 00:41:18.680
The Lord says, you can be this person up here.

667
00:41:18.680 --> 00:41:21.320
So let's grow you here.

668
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:25.040
And so as you're growing there, it's why it takes patience, faith and patience.

669
00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:30.080
We inherit because the Lord, the Lord sets us up, but he's not just quote, giving us

670
00:41:30.080 --> 00:41:32.720
tools to go get on with it.

671
00:41:32.720 --> 00:41:40.560
So much of the stuff I hear is here, all the tools, yell the principles, go and do them.

672
00:41:40.560 --> 00:41:44.800
And a few weeks ago, somebody was bringing up, Hey, no, I just want to build this on

673
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:45.800
kingdom principles.

674
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.300
And I said, well, I'm very sad to hear that.

675
00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:50.300
And the guy said, what?

676
00:41:50.300 --> 00:41:51.300
No, no, no.

677
00:41:51.300 --> 00:41:52.300
I meant, I am going to build on.

678
00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:53.300
He thought I misheard him.

679
00:41:53.300 --> 00:41:54.740
I said, no, I heard you exactly.

680
00:41:54.740 --> 00:41:56.540
You want to build on a kingdom principle.

681
00:41:56.540 --> 00:41:59.380
Principle is the lowest form of truth there is.

682
00:41:59.380 --> 00:42:04.700
It's taking it out of its relational space upstairs and bringing it to a downstairs knowledge,

683
00:42:04.700 --> 00:42:07.340
to an activity, to a transaction.

684
00:42:07.340 --> 00:42:10.500
I'm going to build it on Christian principles, meaning I don't need him.

685
00:42:10.500 --> 00:42:13.460
I just need to know the principle.

686
00:42:13.460 --> 00:42:16.340
And that's the thing he's not into.

687
00:42:16.340 --> 00:42:19.140
I know what we mean when we say Christian principles.

688
00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:24.780
I'm just pointing out this has horrible implications because it makes it non-relational.

689
00:42:24.780 --> 00:42:29.580
Which means by default, it takes us out of the upstairs space and puts us into a downstairs

690
00:42:29.580 --> 00:42:33.100
where I can control the parameters.

691
00:42:33.100 --> 00:42:34.100
So I hate that word.

692
00:42:34.100 --> 00:42:37.220
Oh, I'm becoming to hate that word because I know what's meant by it.

693
00:42:37.220 --> 00:42:43.820
In its strictest sense, it is a principle in the kingdom that is relational, fine.

694
00:42:43.820 --> 00:42:47.840
But to me, it shrinks us into small possibilities.

695
00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:50.240
So here's the thing.

696
00:42:50.240 --> 00:42:54.520
We talked a few months ago about how does God 10X your business?

697
00:42:54.520 --> 00:42:59.840
Well, what if we went to, when we go and ask that first question, Father, what possibility

698
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:01.760
do you see?

699
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:08.960
The answer we will engage in has got to do with how big we think he is, how good we think

700
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:14.920
he is, how much he's trusting us, how far he wants to go.

701
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.880
But if we were trying to do it, quote, on principles or do the small downstairs stuff,

702
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:25.160
then what we're going to hear is a small thing because that's as much as we will receive.

703
00:43:25.160 --> 00:43:26.920
So what if we can abandon that?

704
00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:28.160
And the question is, can we?

705
00:43:28.160 --> 00:43:29.160
Can we get past?

706
00:43:29.160 --> 00:43:34.120
We absolutely can, because it's your mind doing that.

707
00:43:34.120 --> 00:43:36.160
And your mind needs to be led.

708
00:43:36.160 --> 00:43:38.560
When your mind leads, you get back to the small space.

709
00:43:38.560 --> 00:43:41.640
When your heart leads, you go into the kingdom, into a big space.

710
00:43:41.640 --> 00:43:45.320
So Father, I'm just going to put pause on all this stuff.

711
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:47.440
I don't care if I failed before at this.

712
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:48.760
I don't care.

713
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:51.080
That's not what defines me.

714
00:43:51.080 --> 00:43:57.000
So tell me about this beautiful, big possibility you see in which you're optimizing goodness

715
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:01.260
and beauty in my life and in my team and my family.

716
00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:02.640
Tell me about that.

717
00:44:02.640 --> 00:44:06.000
Now I learned already from that.

718
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:10.960
That's not a sit down for 20 minutes with your journal and write that down.

719
00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:16.120
That's a conversation that he starts and it and it unfolds.

720
00:44:16.120 --> 00:44:20.480
And the Lord says, higher expectation, more expectation, more expect.

721
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:21.480
No, no, more, more.

722
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:22.480
No, you're still small.

723
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:23.480
No small.

724
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:30.360
OK, tell your mind to be quiet, receive and believe.

725
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:35.480
So I realized we can say, what possibility do you see?

726
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:41.120
And the answer we will receive, small or big, has got to do with whether we're receiving

727
00:44:41.120 --> 00:44:44.720
that from our spirit man, from our heart.

728
00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:47.240
And so we so can you exaggerate?

729
00:44:47.240 --> 00:44:50.160
Can you expect too much from God?

730
00:44:50.160 --> 00:44:53.120
Well, the mind can exaggerate.

731
00:44:53.120 --> 00:44:55.960
We're not talking that's believerism when the mind exaggerates.

732
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:00.080
God's told me I'm an intergalactic pastor, you know, you know, to all spirits.

733
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.760
pieces of the universe and all you can just exaggerate nonsense right you can do that's

734
00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:10.080
believerism I'm talking about what is it you've received and therefore what have you believed

735
00:45:10.080 --> 00:45:16.740
we receive Jesus we believed on his name that mechanism is exactly how we do this so Lord

736
00:45:16.740 --> 00:45:24.960
what is it you want me to receive into expectation I'm open to it I what do you want me to receive

737
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:32.760
and I realized huh now that's big because it doesn't mean it's all gonna land on one

738
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:40.400
shot it means we're going on this process this journey together let me breathe there

739
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:50.280
Jenny Bridget let me bring you guys into the conversation here

740
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:59.800
um I think that it is very much about around expectations as Glenn just says elevated expectations

741
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:04.920
and I think when one is in a crawl space it's all about expectations and knowing who Jesus

742
00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:10.800
is going to be and I think that you know looking back at our crawl space seven years ago I'm

743
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:16.160
so thankful that Graham kept telling us to look up to Jesus and look ahead and look forward

744
00:46:16.160 --> 00:46:19.640
where we're going to be coming out because we could have actually got stuck there and

745
00:46:19.640 --> 00:46:23.480
I wonder if many believers don't get stuck in the crawl space or they move a little bit

746
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:28.560
forward and then you know get stuck and maybe even move back a little bit but I think that

747
00:46:28.560 --> 00:46:34.800
you know crawl space is a time for us to get into a upgrade but it is about whether we're

748
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:39.360
going to actually partner with him and move forward in what he's offering to us and I

749
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:43.920
think that in our crawl space my expectation seven years ago of the Lord were very different

750
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:48.800
to what it is today because of you know if he had told us then where we're going to land

751
00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:52.520
today I don't think we'd have been in so much pain because we're like oh this is just

752
00:46:52.520 --> 00:46:57.440
a stepping stone into something else which you know between Graham and Teresa encouraging

753
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:04.080
us and us you know stepping into that I think we did get out of it well but I've watched

754
00:47:04.080 --> 00:47:08.720
other people in their crawl space and I think they just you know they have such a low expectation

755
00:47:08.720 --> 00:47:14.200
of the Lord because they still go to the self-condemnation and you know God's not happy with me I didn't

756
00:47:14.200 --> 00:47:19.640
do this right they beat up on my therapist yeah yeah and that is you know that's exactly

757
00:47:19.640 --> 00:47:26.640
so not that I'm against therapy no no it's small yeah it's small and it's limited I think

758
00:47:26.640 --> 00:47:30.880
therapists I mean unless it's a spiritual limit a spiritual therapist that's partnering

759
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:36.000
with the Holy Spirit I think they are limited to what they can really help you with and

760
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:41.640
so I think in you know I think this is such a wonderful tool for leaders to to use on

761
00:47:41.640 --> 00:47:46.200
the with themselves and definitely in their team in terms of pulling people up to what

762
00:47:46.200 --> 00:47:51.280
the Lord's really got and what is offering them and not getting stuck in small possibilities

763
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:58.080
and getting stuck with the worldly what the world has to offer do we have do you do you

764
00:47:58.080 --> 00:48:04.400
feel like you have more recent conversation more recent because I'm thinking of Monday

765
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:09.640
for you right where so let's do something recent that's not necessarily seven years

766
00:48:09.640 --> 00:48:14.800
old but that was a good point I'm just saying that this the learning then and the learning

767
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:20.560
now is very different because like when you're teaching people are to step into their third

768
00:48:20.560 --> 00:48:25.440
act yes and you you know and what we taught in January is even different to what we're

769
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.120
teaching now yes exactly I think that I feel like I'm empowering them in such a different

770
00:48:30.120 --> 00:48:35.320
way because I know I know what the Lord wants to offer them and there's a there's an excitement

771
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:40.200
because I know who Jesus is and I know who Jesus wants to be for them and helping them

772
00:48:40.200 --> 00:48:44.760
get his perspective in their situation using those three questions as exactly the three

773
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:48.480
questions I asked them you know how does the Lord see your situation how does he want you

774
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.920
to be and then how you're going to move forward obviously not so much with their team but

775
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:57.320
with themselves or their spouse or maybe you know in their children a lot of the people

776
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:02.600
in that stage are stuck with the relationships with their children and the children on following

777
00:49:02.600 --> 00:49:06.400
the Lord therefore I don't feel I have anything to offer and you know I'm in a crisis with

778
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:11.800
my children and they can't get out of that so helping them see all the other possibilities

779
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:18.000
and his perspective definitely empowered them to get out of the you know these this situation

780
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:21.240
thinking well I'm in my third act I'm you know there's nothing more I can really do

781
00:49:21.240 --> 00:49:26.080
here I just need to stay healthy until it's my time to go or survive and what I was trying

782
00:49:26.080 --> 00:49:31.080
to empower them that no this isn't a time to survive it's a time to really thrive in

783
00:49:31.080 --> 00:49:34.840
all that the Lord has been preparing you for for the season and I honestly saw the

784
00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:40.640
lights coming on like oh I don't have to just go quietly die and die someday go die quietly

785
00:49:40.640 --> 00:49:45.160
and don't bother people and also realizing that they you know that's not their responsibility

786
00:49:45.160 --> 00:49:49.960
what their children's choices are and I know that it's hard watching your children struggling

787
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:54.840
but then that's bad enough that the children are struggling but now that you you compromising

788
00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:58.880
what he's called you to it's almost like you're getting a double blow the Lord's getting in

789
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:00.000
a double bag deal.

790
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.760
And so that will all the enemies had a victory in two areas, not

791
00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:07.320
that he's just got your kids, but he's also got your amazing

792
00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:10.080
ability that you could be bringing to the world, whether

793
00:50:10.080 --> 00:50:13.200
it's, you know, teaching or doing something else. And that's

794
00:50:13.200 --> 00:50:16.360
where I really felt a difference in teaching on Monday, because

795
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:19.800
I was teaching from this perspective, rather than just,

796
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:23.520
you know, mega possibilities that I think I may have done. I

797
00:50:23.520 --> 00:50:25.680
mean, not that we did that in January, but I definitely feel

798
00:50:25.680 --> 00:50:28.520
that even in the 10 months since then, we've elevated our

799
00:50:28.520 --> 00:50:31.160
language about helping people in this situation.

800
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:35.160
Yeah, that's, that's really helpful. Because you painted a

801
00:50:35.160 --> 00:50:38.360
possibility that's born out of God's heart, not one that's born

802
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:40.400
out of our mental imagination.

803
00:50:40.680 --> 00:50:43.080
Yeah, or what they can see at the moment, because some of them

804
00:50:43.080 --> 00:50:46.800
are seeing their kids with no money and no, you know, no, they

805
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:50.520
struck either spiritually or emotionally or physically. And

806
00:50:50.520 --> 00:50:54.840
so they they're focusing on that rather than all the other things

807
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:56.960
the Lord's wanting to do and use them for

808
00:50:57.080 --> 00:51:00.240
I think what you set them free from in that conversation, and

809
00:51:00.240 --> 00:51:03.120
what we've been learning as a team, as leading kingdom

810
00:51:03.120 --> 00:51:06.680
leadership is, when you when you take them up into God's

811
00:51:06.680 --> 00:51:10.200
possibility, you free them from their history. Because otherwise

812
00:51:10.200 --> 00:51:13.640
they go to their past and look for permission. Well, I've tried

813
00:51:13.640 --> 00:51:17.600
this before I've, you know, I had this dream before I had

814
00:51:17.600 --> 00:51:22.040
this. And so it all that's designed to disqualify you. It's

815
00:51:22.040 --> 00:51:25.520
the same thing that, you know, Dan Sullivan brings up that if I

816
00:51:25.520 --> 00:51:30.200
say to you, I want you to 2x your business versus 10x your

817
00:51:30.200 --> 00:51:32.680
business, remember, the psychology of that is really

818
00:51:32.680 --> 00:51:36.360
interesting, because the psychology of the kingdom is so

819
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:39.880
different. So for instance, if I say you have to 2x your

820
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:42.840
business, you go, my goodness, it took 100 effort, units of

821
00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:45.840
effort to get to this and you want me to do 200. I was already

822
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:50.000
working long hours and weekends, and I don't know how to double

823
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.560
that. And so what are you doing there, you're looking to your

824
00:51:52.560 --> 00:51:56.960
past to give you permission for your future. So you scale that's

825
00:51:56.960 --> 00:52:00.240
the mind at work scales trying to help you it's not evil. It's

826
00:52:00.240 --> 00:52:03.560
just because you consulted the weakest part of yourself, your

827
00:52:03.560 --> 00:52:06.880
mind. And so you went to your mind and you got the small

828
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:11.920
possibility, well, maybe we can get 15% growth, right? But if I

829
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:14.640
said 10x, then you have to ignore all that you have to go

830
00:52:14.640 --> 00:52:19.280
well, we need different business, we need to rethink our

831
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:21.960
whole value proposition, what good are we bringing to the

832
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:24.720
world? Well, in the kingdom, it goes one step further, because

833
00:52:24.720 --> 00:52:27.440
it's not up to you to come up with the 10x. It's, it's the

834
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:29.280
Lord sharing his 10x with you,

835
00:52:29.560 --> 00:52:30.320
in the partnership,

836
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:34.840
pressures off, I can rest. So Father, what's the big thing

837
00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:38.560
here? The problem is we go and ask for the most of us are

838
00:52:38.560 --> 00:52:45.000
trained by religion to ask for rescue and escape. Not for 10x.

839
00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:50.520
Lord, can you get me out of the situation? Can you heal me so my

840
00:52:50.520 --> 00:52:54.080
body doesn't hurt? I get that. That's, that's, those are real,

841
00:52:54.080 --> 00:52:57.880
very real things. The question is, what's the possibility in

842
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:03.440
this? That's the thing he sees that is so different. Because

843
00:53:03.440 --> 00:53:06.520
God, I think makes himself the object of our desire, as we

844
00:53:06.520 --> 00:53:10.320
experience his beauty, we want more of him. Because beauty is

845
00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:12.960
compelling. Here's the interesting thing, the Harvard

846
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:16.040
study I read last week, the Harvard study on the

847
00:53:16.040 --> 00:53:20.280
neuroscience says that we are literally wired for beauty. And

848
00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:25.040
if we see a beautiful painting or a wonderful landscape, it

849
00:53:25.040 --> 00:53:28.440
neurologically rewires our minds, we literally change.

850
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:31.680
That's why going on a walk or seeing something of going to

851
00:53:31.680 --> 00:53:35.520
beautiful places. I have the advantage, I have a beautiful

852
00:53:35.520 --> 00:53:42.920
wife, just saying. So anyway, that all those points, anyway. I

853
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:46.280
didn't mean to embarrass you. But here's the thing. The beauty

854
00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:49.720
of what the Lord is doing in our lives compels now what they what

855
00:53:49.720 --> 00:53:52.480
they discovered just in the neuroscience of it is the thing

856
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:57.200
that most rewires our minds is when we see goodness. When we're

857
00:53:57.200 --> 00:54:01.560
seeing one person being good to another, our brains are rewired

858
00:54:01.560 --> 00:54:05.040
by that there was a caveat, however, only for the people who

859
00:54:05.040 --> 00:54:09.440
are looking for it. I think people are now wired into so

860
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:13.880
much negativity, that what they expect is for the other shoe to

861
00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:16.760
drop this whole idea of what has been going well for now don't

862
00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:21.480
jinx it. Don't mess it up. You know, because I'm just waiting

863
00:54:21.480 --> 00:54:25.040
because all good things must come to an end. Yes, if you live

864
00:54:25.040 --> 00:54:28.840
in the world. But all good things have to get a whole lot

865
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:30.120
better if you're in the kingdom.

866
00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:39.120
So I was going to just add one thing that my topic on Monday

867
00:54:39.120 --> 00:54:43.160
was all about the permission slip. And that the that's the

868
00:54:43.160 --> 00:54:46.560
permission to do all that the Lord's prepared you for. And the

869
00:54:46.560 --> 00:54:49.440
permission also to let your children go. And that's what

870
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:52.760
really connected with a lot of the parents that they felt that

871
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:56.080
they had, you know, they, especially the moms, their

872
00:54:56.080 --> 00:54:58.760
responsibilities around their children and taking care of them

873
00:54:58.760 --> 00:54:59.960
and, you know, being the

874
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.280
the babysitter for the grandchildren, et cetera.

875
00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:05.880
And so it was about permission to let go

876
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:07.640
and permission to explore.

877
00:55:07.640 --> 00:55:09.040
And that really helped them.

878
00:55:09.040 --> 00:55:12.200
And I think sometimes we're so used to doing everything

879
00:55:12.200 --> 00:55:15.040
out of routine and out of duty and discipline,

880
00:55:15.040 --> 00:55:18.040
especially in parenting, but as well in a business,

881
00:55:18.040 --> 00:55:19.440
you just feel like this has got to be hard.

882
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:20.400
I've got to be disciplined.

883
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:21.820
I've got to work harder.

884
00:55:21.820 --> 00:55:23.800
But that's not the way we partner with the Lord.

885
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:26.680
His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

886
00:55:26.720 --> 00:55:29.360
And so that really, that's that analogy

887
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.640
of the permission slip really helped them, so.

888
00:55:31.640 --> 00:55:33.160
Yeah.

889
00:55:33.160 --> 00:55:38.160
Jenny, let's bring you into the chat.

890
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:40.920
I know you have a lot of thoughts on this.

891
00:55:43.040 --> 00:55:45.760
High expectations, speaking of.

892
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:48.080
It's a fun conversation, I think.

893
00:55:48.080 --> 00:55:53.080
And I could pick so many things out of here.

894
00:55:53.120 --> 00:55:56.200
And what I'm really landing on is,

895
00:55:57.800 --> 00:55:59.880
there are no negatives in the kingdom.

896
00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:04.880
And there's not, just talking about the absence.

897
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:06.360
Dark is the absence of light.

898
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:07.660
It's not a thing.

899
00:56:07.660 --> 00:56:12.140
And so a negative is just the absence of God's possibilities.

900
00:56:12.140 --> 00:56:14.120
But even taking it further and saying,

901
00:56:14.120 --> 00:56:16.240
the negative is just the absence of God.

902
00:56:16.240 --> 00:56:19.720
And so when we bring Him into that situation,

903
00:56:19.720 --> 00:56:22.040
then everything becomes possible.

904
00:56:22.040 --> 00:56:26.000
And so can you expect too much of God?

905
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:29.600
No, and so I think just what that does

906
00:56:29.600 --> 00:56:33.000
is that's really a doorway into a greater expression

907
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:37.040
of how He wants to be with us here on the earth

908
00:56:37.040 --> 00:56:39.740
and how we get to walk with Him.

909
00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:45.480
And I like how that translates over into the team

910
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:49.720
with committing to the possibilities

911
00:56:49.720 --> 00:56:52.680
and empowering the team, creating heroes.

912
00:56:52.680 --> 00:56:56.800
And also, how do you want me to be with our team in this?

913
00:56:56.800 --> 00:56:58.600
Because you can only give

914
00:56:58.600 --> 00:57:00.520
what you're experiencing yourself.

915
00:57:00.520 --> 00:57:05.520
And so it's really that dual action growth.

916
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:08.660
Your team is growing and you're growing as well.

917
00:57:08.660 --> 00:57:10.220
So you're growing together.

918
00:57:10.220 --> 00:57:15.120
So, I mean, there's so much there, I think, to unpack.

919
00:57:15.120 --> 00:57:18.500
And just the implications,

920
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:20.880
the implications not only for us,

921
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:22.720
but the implications for God,

922
00:57:22.720 --> 00:57:25.080
if we take Him at His word,

923
00:57:25.080 --> 00:57:28.560
and we believe that with Him, all things are possible,

924
00:57:28.560 --> 00:57:31.000
and that we can't expect too much of Him,

925
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:34.080
to continually expect Him to show up

926
00:57:34.080 --> 00:57:37.320
and to prove Himself good, right?

927
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:41.880
So then that's where the good comes in to every situation.

928
00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:45.400
So I think it's a lovely conversation.

929
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:48.080
So as a coach who trains coaches,

930
00:57:48.080 --> 00:57:52.120
as a trainer of coaches, using the Brilliant Framework,

931
00:57:52.120 --> 00:57:55.400
what have you found moves or helps people the most,

932
00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:56.920
or helps coaches the most

933
00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:59.340
of moving people out of negativity?

934
00:58:01.680 --> 00:58:03.260
That's a really good question.

935
00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:06.040
It's what you've said.

936
00:58:06.040 --> 00:58:11.040
It's the beauty, it's the goodness.

937
00:58:11.120 --> 00:58:14.680
Once you encounter the goodness of God,

938
00:58:14.680 --> 00:58:16.200
you have a baseline with which

939
00:58:16.200 --> 00:58:19.320
to measure every other instance through.

940
00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:21.300
So you can't go below that, right?

941
00:58:21.300 --> 00:58:24.080
So that it's beyond the redemption,

942
00:58:24.080 --> 00:58:27.060
or beyond the restoration and to the redemption.

943
00:58:27.060 --> 00:58:29.360
So you have a baseline with which

944
00:58:29.360 --> 00:58:31.360
to measure every situation through.

945
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:32.320
You don't measure God through it,

946
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:35.060
you measure every situation through it.

947
00:58:35.060 --> 00:58:40.060
And we minimize who He is based on our circumstances.

948
00:58:40.500 --> 00:58:43.180
And you referenced that with everyone gets deemed.

949
00:58:43.180 --> 00:58:45.100
And so we downgrade God

950
00:58:45.100 --> 00:58:47.620
to match our circumstances a lot of times.

951
00:58:47.620 --> 00:58:50.220
And so when we have that goodness there,

952
00:58:50.220 --> 00:58:53.840
we have that baseline, then we stop downgrading Him.

953
00:58:53.840 --> 00:58:56.060
And instead we minimize our circumstances

954
00:58:56.060 --> 00:58:58.060
and make Him bigger than that.

955
00:58:58.060 --> 00:59:02.420
And that's really, and we call that the exchange store.

956
00:59:03.540 --> 00:59:08.540
And so it is the idea that His goodness is bigger

957
00:59:09.220 --> 00:59:12.660
than anything that we can face, and it's present.

958
00:59:12.660 --> 00:59:17.660
And it doesn't mean that the challenge,

959
00:59:18.180 --> 00:59:21.760
the difficulty is not happening, we don't ignore it.

960
00:59:21.760 --> 00:59:24.060
We just put it in its proper perspective,

961
00:59:24.060 --> 00:59:26.580
its proper place and say His goodness

962
00:59:26.580 --> 00:59:29.160
is much bigger than that circumstances.

963
00:59:29.160 --> 00:59:31.820
So how's that gonna show up for me here?

964
00:59:31.820 --> 00:59:34.440
Yeah, I like that.

965
00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:35.940
I think what we're learning to do

966
00:59:35.980 --> 00:59:40.060
is connect people to God's goodness in the circumstances

967
00:59:40.060 --> 00:59:44.060
so that they're pulled out, so they live above their,

968
00:59:44.060 --> 00:59:45.420
they don't mean to be an overcomer,

969
00:59:45.420 --> 00:59:47.060
you're living over your circumstance,

970
00:59:47.060 --> 00:59:48.620
you're not under the circumstance.

971
00:59:48.620 --> 00:59:49.460
Well, how are you doing?

972
00:59:49.460 --> 00:59:51.300
Well, under the circumstances,

973
00:59:51.300 --> 00:59:52.980
what are you doing down there?

974
00:59:52.980 --> 00:59:55.580
So you need to pull them up.

975
00:59:55.580 --> 00:59:59.500
And I think we underestimate, hugely underestimate

976
00:59:59.500 --> 01:00:02.500
how enthusiastic we are in God's goodness.

977
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.240
enthusiastic God is about our lives. And how excited he gets

978
01:00:04.240 --> 01:00:07.980
when we ran into a new problem, problems like upgrade, right,

979
01:00:07.980 --> 01:00:11.880
let's go to it. And I think there's this, you know, on these

980
01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.720
rare occasions, I have these moments when I can hear the

981
01:00:14.720 --> 01:00:18.120
three of them talking to each other, like, let me in. And I

982
01:00:18.120 --> 01:00:20.240
can hear Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I can always tell them

983
01:00:20.240 --> 01:00:24.700
apart. Sometimes I can. But sometimes they're having a

984
01:00:24.700 --> 01:00:27.200
conversation about me, and they let me listen in. And it's

985
01:00:27.200 --> 01:00:29.440
hilarious. You know, shall we tell them? Yeah, we should tell

986
01:00:29.720 --> 01:00:32.000
them. I don't know. You think you can take that big thing? I

987
01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:35.320
don't know. Well, let's let him listen in. And I've had

988
01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.600
conversations. And it's like, almost like the father said,

989
01:00:37.600 --> 01:00:40.320
well, we're going to create this the creator, you know, and then

990
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:43.040
the Redeemer Jesus like, Oh, but I want them to come into

991
01:00:43.040 --> 01:00:47.160
fullness. I want them all I paid for. I want this. You know, the

992
01:00:47.160 --> 01:00:49.720
same way you did this for me, Father, can we do it for him?

993
01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:53.200
And and the Holy Spirit says, I know how to teach him that I can

994
01:00:53.200 --> 01:00:56.320
teach him that I, you know, it's God thought therapy was so

995
01:00:56.320 --> 01:00:59.160
important. He gave you a member of the Godhead, you know, called

996
01:00:59.160 --> 01:01:01.920
the Holy Spirit, your primary therapist, he's your primary

997
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:05.800
coach teacher, I'm not against the the human side of that,

998
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:09.680
that's fine. But it only works if the human side starts in the

999
01:01:09.680 --> 01:01:13.200
prophetic, because that's the future, it makes you present

1000
01:01:13.200 --> 01:01:17.400
future. So in other words, if you're sitting, if you're

1001
01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:21.240
coaching someone, and you say, Okay, well, here's all the

1002
01:01:21.240 --> 01:01:24.240
yellow, let's talk about all my stuff I got dinged on. Yep,

1003
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:27.480
they're there, they're real, we can process them. But before we

1004
01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:30.560
do that, we need a starting point is, how does the Lord see

1005
01:01:30.560 --> 01:01:34.400
you? This is who you are, this is where he's taking you now,

1006
01:01:34.680 --> 01:01:37.560
you're stuck in the past, because ding, ding things

1007
01:01:37.560 --> 01:01:40.640
happen, and they can be very brutal. So we're not being

1008
01:01:40.640 --> 01:01:43.240
unkind, we're not saying the dings don't matter, or they

1009
01:01:43.240 --> 01:01:46.960
don't count. Yes, they matter. Yes, they count. But the healing

1010
01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:50.800
of the heart process to get you there is knowing the starting

1011
01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:55.440
point isn't your ding and your pain. The starting point is who

1012
01:01:55.440 --> 01:02:00.840
you are in him, who he is. And so goodness and mercy can then

1013
01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:04.240
come and bring you into the present so that you can move

1014
01:02:04.240 --> 01:02:09.120
into your future with him. And so when I see all this, we've

1015
01:02:09.120 --> 01:02:12.960
now it's there's a danger going on in the world in the King

1016
01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:19.280
Church world where we're making ministry, the Redeemer. And if

1017
01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:23.520
the ministry is the Redeemer, Jesus isn't. That's right. If

1018
01:02:23.520 --> 01:02:27.440
ministry is the rescuer, Jesus isn't. Yeah. And it sounds

1019
01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:31.280
subtle. Because, oh, it's my ministry, you know, and I know

1020
01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:33.520
we've been pushing it brilliant to get rid of that language.

1021
01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:37.960
It's the yoke partnership, what is my togetherness with the Lord

1022
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:40.320
doing for them? Well, if you're coaching someone, you have to

1023
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:43.760
get them into oneness before you can get them into purpose. We're

1024
01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:46.160
trying to just purpose purpose, what's my ministry? What's my

1025
01:02:46.160 --> 01:02:49.120
calling? What's my gift? We want to skip the oneness part of the

1026
01:02:49.120 --> 01:02:52.000
growing up in Jesus into fullness. And you don't have to

1027
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:55.280
get to fullness to start, you just have to be in the mindset

1028
01:02:55.280 --> 01:02:59.120
of oneness. God's giving you to practice your oneness, you can

1029
01:02:59.120 --> 01:03:03.600
get saved in the morning and start in the afternoon. But I

1030
01:03:03.600 --> 01:03:06.480
think what we've done is religion has taught us we got to

1031
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:11.040
do this for God, we were designed. Because it's born in

1032
01:03:11.040 --> 01:03:15.120
the mind, religion is born in the mind, what happens is it's

1033
01:03:15.120 --> 01:03:17.680
designed to make it transactional. It's about

1034
01:03:17.680 --> 01:03:20.400
knowledge or special knowledge, man, if we had the special

1035
01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:23.440
knowledge, if you knew my special framework, my three

1036
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:26.960
steps to whatever, that it was the pursuit of special

1037
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:30.240
knowledge got us kicked out of the Garden of Eden, the tree of

1038
01:03:30.240 --> 01:03:34.560
knowledge. It's the so how do we teach them the tree of life? I

1039
01:03:34.560 --> 01:03:38.000
am the way the truth and the life so we have to go back to

1040
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:43.200
oneness and make it relational. What I think we're talking about

1041
01:03:43.200 --> 01:03:46.960
in addition to what you just said, Jenny is we're talking

1042
01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:52.640
about how do we upscale that? How do we ask God permission?

1043
01:03:52.640 --> 01:03:56.160
Well, how do we ask? It's like if a little kid comes to me and

1044
01:03:56.160 --> 01:03:59.920
says, Dad, for Christmas, can I just have a little bit of water

1045
01:03:59.920 --> 01:04:03.520
and some dry bread? And I'm so shocked by the low grade

1046
01:04:03.520 --> 01:04:06.880
question and the low grade expectation I go and then he

1047
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:11.840
goes, Okay, okay, forget the bread. Went exactly the wrong

1048
01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:16.400
way. So but if my little kid came to me, Dad, can I have a

1049
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:19.520
Ferrari? I love that you think you can ask that. But no, you

1050
01:04:19.520 --> 01:04:22.640
can't have a Ferrari until you're older. And when you're

1051
01:04:22.640 --> 01:04:27.360
there, you'll get a little Honda. So but because it's for

1052
01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:30.240
my good, it's for my highest good. He'll optimize good

1053
01:04:30.240 --> 01:04:34.640
giving an 18 year old Ferrari is a bad idea. But the fact that

1054
01:04:34.640 --> 01:04:39.120
I that I thought my kid, I love that my kid, we just are so

1055
01:04:39.120 --> 01:04:46.160
little. So I've been asking the Lord. I'm just I think I'm just

1056
01:04:46.160 --> 01:04:49.360
done with the bride being small, told her she's not the

1057
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:52.800
billionaire bride living under the bridge. And anything she

1058
01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:55.760
tries, she's not enough. She doesn't count. She didn't. So

1059
01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:58.720
somebody, you know, recently came, she said, Oh, I've got a

1060
01:04:58.720 --> 01:04:59.680
new program.

1061
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.980
program for brilliant we should I just saw this great line I think we could use

1062
01:05:03.980 --> 01:05:11.620
it and it's called peace through prayer I said what a terrible idea is that that

1063
01:05:11.620 --> 01:05:15.300
just sets the bride up for more accusation again oh well you don't have

1064
01:05:15.300 --> 01:05:17.620
peace because you didn't pray you didn't pray long enough and pray the right

1065
01:05:17.620 --> 01:05:21.820
thing and if you don't have peace it's all your fault we just set up five new

1066
01:05:21.820 --> 01:05:26.040
ways you can why would you pray for peace when the prince of peace lives in

1067
01:05:26.040 --> 01:05:32.900
you you don't have to earn it through prayer just another con job and and when

1068
01:05:32.900 --> 01:05:36.700
I was finished they were like yeah I can see why you hate that statement it just

1069
01:05:36.700 --> 01:05:40.920
makes the bride small again something else she has to go and earn to get some

1070
01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:46.380
benefit but she's paid for that so I mean as a coach Jenny how do you break

1071
01:05:46.380 --> 01:05:52.060
that barrier I mean it takes so much language on our part to move this it

1072
01:05:52.060 --> 01:05:55.060
does take a lot of language but it's really simple because a lot of people

1073
01:05:55.060 --> 01:05:58.760
come to God in acute situations and they want that instant relief and they

1074
01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:03.080
don't recognize that the dream in his heart is just to live with you and your

1075
01:06:03.080 --> 01:06:09.360
everyday situation those difficult circumstances are just an outcome to how

1076
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:14.500
you're walking with God in a day-to-day basis that he enjoys the fellowship he

1077
01:06:14.500 --> 01:06:20.680
enjoys the oneness day-to-day he doesn't get bored he doesn't get tired of it he

1078
01:06:20.680 --> 01:06:25.240
doesn't think to us hmm you know I'm gonna go over here and do something

1079
01:06:25.240 --> 01:06:34.480
exciting he wants us to invite him in to those mundane repetitive tasks in our

1080
01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:42.160
life and those lead us those prepare us for the challenges and the obstacles and

1081
01:06:42.160 --> 01:06:49.360
the purpose right to go and to become even more than overcomers not just an

1082
01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:54.680
overcomer but to become more than an overcomer in our life in our situation

1083
01:06:54.680 --> 01:07:00.080
and I really do think that it is that I think that people have such a small

1084
01:07:00.080 --> 01:07:05.000
opinion of not just God but of themselves in Christ they don't

1085
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:10.720
recognize beauty as you said it goodness and beauty it's such a key thing they

1086
01:07:10.720 --> 01:07:17.960
don't recognize their own beauty that God made them beautiful Jesus made them

1087
01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:23.440
beautiful you were meant to be loved you were meant to be delighted in you

1088
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:28.440
were meant to be enjoyed and in fellowship you're not something he has

1089
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:37.080
to tolerate because you're terrible you are something worth his time if you

1090
01:07:37.080 --> 01:07:44.840
never did anything you know huge in the world he would still want to be with you

1091
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:50.200
in exactly the same way and the outcome of being well loved in that relationship

1092
01:07:50.200 --> 01:07:54.680
is that you would then of course we do live in Dominion right over the earth

1093
01:07:54.680 --> 01:07:59.960
with that we are meant to be in Dominion over the earth and to rule here on the

1094
01:07:59.960 --> 01:08:07.440
earth and we can only do that when we are reflecting who he is for us yeah we

1095
01:08:07.440 --> 01:08:12.320
can't rain if you can't relate yeah you can't relate if you can't receive you

1096
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:17.120
can't receive if you don't believe so there it is believing receiving relating

1097
01:08:17.120 --> 01:08:21.760
raining the four functions for power functions of the human spirit our heart

1098
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:27.399
has these massive capabilities they're eternal they engage an eternal beautiful

1099
01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:32.479
being who's who's perfectly good for with who we're gonna spend eternity with

1100
01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:37.319
him so we're really learning to live like we're gonna live in in heaven

1101
01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:41.040
that's why we on earth as it is in heaven so if we're gonna be kingdom

1102
01:08:41.040 --> 01:08:45.439
leaders we have to be bringing on earth as it is in heaven well how's it in

1103
01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:49.800
heaven no negativity you're fully loved as you said fully accepted in the

1104
01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:55.080
beloved he knows exactly who you are it's we who don't know us because we

1105
01:08:55.080 --> 01:08:59.200
don't know the new you we keep describing the dead me to Jesus the part

1106
01:08:59.200 --> 01:09:03.080
that's dead you're dead to sin but Lord you don't know I'm so frustrated with

1107
01:09:03.080 --> 01:09:06.359
your son no well you don't have to be frustrated with dead people imagine

1108
01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:10.120
being frustrated with my dad who's passed away you'd seriously think I need

1109
01:09:10.120 --> 01:09:13.760
therapy if I came up with that plan you we do that to the Lord our Lord I'm so

1110
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:19.160
fed up with myself I mean that's parts dead because we've been taught that

1111
01:09:19.160 --> 01:09:25.040
repentance keeps us in right standing with God no repentance is just you

1112
01:09:25.040 --> 01:09:30.520
agreeing with God about you the new you so it's all these elements are the

1113
01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:38.160
beauty of Jesus in us so I was thinking about God draws you into himself through

1114
01:09:38.160 --> 01:09:41.520
the beauty of what the possibilities are opening up because when you see oh

1115
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:46.600
Lord that is so beautiful that you would be that good and kind to me I see him as

1116
01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:51.840
beautiful because our minds are wired to recognize goodness as beauty that's why

1117
01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:54.880
we were saying goodness and beauty go together I was so excited when I found

1118
01:09:54.880 --> 01:09:59.040
this research because I came to the conclusion of goodness and beauty

1119
01:09:59.040 --> 01:10:01.360
through

1120
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.560
you know, through this, this whole process myself. And so he's

1121
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:09.000
selecting what would be most beautiful, most good in your

1122
01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:15.240
circumstances. I love that for us. And when we and so I said,

1123
01:10:15.240 --> 01:10:20.760
Lord, so is it okay that I hold actuality and possibility in my

1124
01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:25.360
hands at the same time? And the difference? Yes, what's actually

1125
01:10:25.360 --> 01:10:28.640
is the case? Here's the possibility you're offering

1126
01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:33.680
Lord, and it's the gap creates desire in us. I want that. Oh,

1127
01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:37.840
I want that possibly. So we feel sometimes we feel in Christian

1128
01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:41.880
circles, we may not call the actuality what it actually is

1129
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:45.440
called the reality what it is face the facts, hold the

1130
01:10:45.440 --> 01:10:51.760
actuality, hold the possibility, but let the gap create desire to

1131
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:57.560
partner. And it was this simple mechanism. So the possibility

1132
01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:00.200
can't be small, because if the possibly small doesn't create

1133
01:11:00.200 --> 01:11:03.880
desire, who wants a small thing? You know, yay, I'm going to give

1134
01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:07.520
you a half eaten ice cream. Yay, what a possibility, you know, so

1135
01:11:07.800 --> 01:11:10.880
buddy for the Lord is opening up a new territory for us. And we

1136
01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:15.360
go, Lord, wow, that is so beautiful that you would offer

1137
01:11:15.360 --> 01:11:20.080
me that. And then we become overwhelmed by his goodness, not

1138
01:11:20.080 --> 01:11:22.200
overwhelmed by our circumstances, circumstances of

1139
01:11:22.200 --> 01:11:25.800
nothingness packaged up, just problems, people solving

1140
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:29.320
problems. And then life upgrades as a leader from just solving

1141
01:11:29.320 --> 01:11:32.680
one miserable problem after another. But it's now learning

1142
01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:38.560
to enjoy and walk in the beauty of Jesus. So I love this. So I

1143
01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:43.080
think this desire creates in us this that we're designed to co

1144
01:11:43.080 --> 01:11:48.600
create with him. And so the greatest human desire is to

1145
01:11:49.360 --> 01:11:53.240
participate in his beauty and participate in the purposes of

1146
01:11:53.240 --> 01:11:57.160
God, because we find them beautiful, because we find them

1147
01:11:57.160 --> 01:12:02.280
deeply attractive. And so when we focus on, you know, God's

1148
01:12:02.280 --> 01:12:06.680
desire for us, we just drawn towards him. That's how love

1149
01:12:06.680 --> 01:12:10.120
works. That's how lovers fall in love, like how people fall in

1150
01:12:10.120 --> 01:12:13.680
love and become lovers. You know, if you if you think about

1151
01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:16.120
it, when what you first fell in love with wasn't so much the

1152
01:12:16.120 --> 01:12:20.480
person, but what that person thought about you, that sounds

1153
01:12:20.480 --> 01:12:25.280
deeply selfish. But it's true, though, isn't it? I like to I, I

1154
01:12:25.280 --> 01:12:30.680
like to Bridget thought I was. And I like to she, I like to she

1155
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:34.840
liked, and then I liked her for it. And then we fell in love. If

1156
01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:38.920
you understand the mechanism, when we see how God sees us, we

1157
01:12:38.920 --> 01:12:42.240
fall in love with the person he sees, and then we fall in love

1158
01:12:42.240 --> 01:12:50.520
with him for seeing us that way. So, his love becomes that

1159
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:54.280
source of our affection. Because, you know, Jesus

1160
01:12:54.280 --> 01:12:58.200
demonstrate this, look exactly what worked for Jesus designed

1161
01:12:58.200 --> 01:13:03.880
to work for us. And I, and if you think about this, we mimic

1162
01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:10.560
what we what we admire. So if you think about, I know that

1163
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.280
there's an incredible amount of biological research that

1164
01:13:14.280 --> 01:13:18.560
supports the idea that imitation is a fundamentally biological

1165
01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:24.800
mechanism. In other words, we learn, we, we learn by

1166
01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:32.200
mimicking. Right, so a little kid mimics, dad mimics, mom, and

1167
01:13:32.200 --> 01:13:35.560
it's the mimicry, you know, that, you know, Paul said,

1168
01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:39.240
follow me as I follow Christ, copy me, until you can follow

1169
01:13:39.240 --> 01:13:43.120
Christ by yourself. That wasn't an invitation to permanently

1170
01:13:43.120 --> 01:13:46.000
only look to me, we have to disciple people to direct

1171
01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:48.880
learning at some point, where they take the yoke and learn

1172
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:53.600
from him. But while they're learning, we can teach them to

1173
01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:57.400
me. And that's what Jesus said, I'll teach you the same way. The

1174
01:13:57.400 --> 01:14:01.320
Father taught me, I no longer call you servants, I call you

1175
01:14:01.320 --> 01:14:06.080
friends, because servants do not know the master's business. And

1176
01:14:06.480 --> 01:14:11.480
I will teach you everything the Father taught me. What an offer.

1177
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:15.920
It's the same thing as if you don't respect a leader, you

1178
01:14:15.920 --> 01:14:21.600
won't mimic them. Right? So you only mimic what you respect. And

1179
01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:26.520
Jesus knows that. So I think the other thing we massively

1180
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:29.480
underestimate, not just God's enthusiasm for our lives, for

1181
01:14:29.480 --> 01:14:32.360
our businesses, for our families, for our relationship,

1182
01:14:32.360 --> 01:14:36.640
but he's also fully present in every circumstances. But he's

1183
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:40.120
chosen not to be in control, but to be in partnership, he's in

1184
01:14:40.120 --> 01:14:43.120
control of heaven, and his purposes ultimately will be

1185
01:14:43.120 --> 01:14:46.280
fulfilled, he'll rework, he's so confident he can work through

1186
01:14:46.280 --> 01:14:50.560
all of humanity's dumb decisions, and good decisions

1187
01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:54.280
and evil decisions and behaviors and all that stuff and still

1188
01:14:54.680 --> 01:15:00.120
land on his purposes. So he shares in our experience.

1189
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.600
He is actively participating in his experience.

1190
01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:09.800
So I think the best thing we can do to open up this world of expectation, this world of

1191
01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:19.880
possibility, is to be present to his presence, you know, because it's in that mechanism,

1192
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:23.700
we see actuality, God sees possibility.

1193
01:15:23.700 --> 01:15:28.420
And then the desire, if the possibility is big enough, to the extent the possibility

1194
01:15:29.400 --> 01:15:34.880
is born in his heart, not just an exaggeration of our imagination, but it's truly born out

1195
01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:39.140
of God's heart, it draws us in, it builds desire.

1196
01:15:39.140 --> 01:15:43.920
Small possibilities will give small desire, big possibilities will create big desire.

1197
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:47.840
So I think the reason we don't see desire in our team is we haven't given them a great

1198
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:48.840
possibility.

1199
01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:54.580
You know who's remarkably good at this as a leader, strangely enough, in just terms

1200
01:15:54.580 --> 01:15:57.000
of downstairs leadership is Elon.

1201
01:15:57.080 --> 01:16:00.820
I love that he says, we're going to Mars.

1202
01:16:00.820 --> 01:16:04.760
And it was like, hang on, we haven't even got a ship big enough to leave the earth,

1203
01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:06.880
you know, no, we'll build that.

1204
01:16:06.880 --> 01:16:11.200
And then they were like, well, you know, NASA takes $4 billion for NASA to do a launch,

1205
01:16:11.200 --> 01:16:12.720
and they can do one every three years.

1206
01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:13.720
What does Elon say?

1207
01:16:13.720 --> 01:16:18.480
No, we've got to get it down to one a week.

1208
01:16:18.480 --> 01:16:25.360
You see, the possibility of that is so massive, then the desire is that you either in or you're out.

1209
01:16:25.400 --> 01:16:29.960
So there are people on your team who should be out because they can't commit to the possibility,

1210
01:16:29.960 --> 01:16:35.520
or they won't commit to the possibility, because the possibility is a matter of believing in

1211
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:36.960
the possibility.

1212
01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:42.400
I believe Lord, because you said this is possible for me, I'm in.

1213
01:16:42.400 --> 01:16:46.000
So I don't want to do, oh, is it three a day?

1214
01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:47.640
Glenn says he wants to launch three a day.

1215
01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:48.640
Sorry, not one.

1216
01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:51.600
Well, I know we're trying to get to one a week now, I think they've got like the next

1217
01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:54.640
whole bunch already built, right?

1218
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:58.240
Well, the idea of self-driving two, three, four years ago seemed ridiculous.

1219
01:16:58.240 --> 01:17:02.800
And now this newest version is getting so close of self-driving.

1220
01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:08.280
Robo taxis, cyber cab, a car with no steering wheel and no brakes, no pedals.

1221
01:17:08.280 --> 01:17:11.120
They're going to production Q2 next year.

1222
01:17:11.120 --> 01:17:16.400
And I'm looking at that and I'm going, people still don't believe the possibility.

1223
01:17:16.400 --> 01:17:18.720
And they're actually building them already.

1224
01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:25.160
So let me simplify this down to its simplest, simple base form as you're thinking about

1225
01:17:25.160 --> 01:17:27.880
this time today.

1226
01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:34.800
Face the actuality of what is, but take the possibility, take that to possibility, spend

1227
01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:41.000
most of your time making sure you've upscaled the possibility in God's heart big enough

1228
01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:45.520
that it creates a desire in you to commit to that possibility.

1229
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:50.320
Then you will naturally enthuse your team because your enthusiasm will be infectious.

1230
01:17:50.320 --> 01:17:57.320
By the way, enthusiasm comes from the word to be enthused means to be in God, just saying

1231
01:17:57.320 --> 01:18:05.120
to be full of God, to be enthused, theos, to be in theos.

1232
01:18:05.120 --> 01:18:15.200
So my challenge that the Lord has given me, which I wanted to share with you today was

1233
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:17.280
what's the possibility?

1234
01:18:17.280 --> 01:18:22.680
Don't let circumstances, the economy, all that downstairs stuff.

1235
01:18:22.680 --> 01:18:25.080
That's not the foundation of possibility.

1236
01:18:25.080 --> 01:18:28.320
That's just the foundation of actuality.

1237
01:18:28.320 --> 01:18:29.680
And we have to face actuality.

1238
01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:30.760
It's not nonsense.

1239
01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:32.080
It's real.

1240
01:18:32.080 --> 01:18:39.760
But we can hold actuality downstairs in possibility upstairs, and then we can take that upstairs

1241
01:18:39.760 --> 01:18:42.600
possibility on earth as it is in heaven.

1242
01:18:42.600 --> 01:18:47.040
We can take that heaven thing and pull it into the earth and bring goodness to the world

1243
01:18:47.040 --> 01:18:49.040
regardless of what the actuality.

1244
01:18:49.040 --> 01:18:50.040
I don't have the team.

1245
01:18:50.040 --> 01:18:51.040
I don't have the capital.

1246
01:18:51.040 --> 01:18:55.400
The economy is bad, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1247
01:18:55.400 --> 01:19:00.920
These are actualities that are worth looking at and writing down, but they're small.

1248
01:19:00.920 --> 01:19:05.720
I think if we can flip this and make God's possibility, and we don't have to have a major

1249
01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:08.200
possibility every day, every week, every month.

1250
01:19:08.200 --> 01:19:12.060
We just need one big possibility to work on for several years.

1251
01:19:12.060 --> 01:19:21.380
Maybe some smaller ones we work on in between.

1252
01:19:21.380 --> 01:19:28.420
So what I've done is once that possibility starts to get there is write a crafted prayer

1253
01:19:28.420 --> 01:19:29.420
for that possibility.

1254
01:19:29.420 --> 01:19:34.860
And I want to end, if I may, and I know I've done a lot of the talking today, I wanted

1255
01:19:34.860 --> 01:19:38.980
to be more conversational, but this is such a big topic.

1256
01:19:38.980 --> 01:19:40.180
I'm so consumed by this.

1257
01:19:40.460 --> 01:19:43.500
So, thanks for giving me the chance to share with you because you know you get clearer

1258
01:19:43.500 --> 01:19:45.860
when you tell others, right?

1259
01:19:45.860 --> 01:19:52.940
So thanks for hearing this out, but I do want to end with something the Lord gave me earlier.

1260
01:19:52.940 --> 01:19:59.020
Earlier in the week I had a prophetic dream.

1261
01:19:59.020 --> 01:19:59.980
I don't get them very often.

1262
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:10.320
often. And in this prophetic dream, in this prophetic dream,

1263
01:20:10.320 --> 01:20:13.440
and I felt to share it with you today, and I want to end with

1264
01:20:13.440 --> 01:20:17.920
this. From this prophetic dream, I crafted a prayer called

1265
01:20:17.920 --> 01:20:24.200
kingdom financial beauty. And so in my dream, I was in a very

1266
01:20:24.200 --> 01:20:27.280
poor country reminded me of certain parts of Africa, maybe,

1267
01:20:27.320 --> 01:20:31.120
Malaysia, whatever. And it ended up with certain poor parts of

1268
01:20:31.120 --> 01:20:34.800
Malaysia, it ended up in a valley where poor people all

1269
01:20:34.800 --> 01:20:39.360
living in this very deplorable, desperate state, it was actually

1270
01:20:39.360 --> 01:20:43.560
a dried out riverbed. And they had carved out like little

1271
01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:46.040
landing place where they could lie. And I was looking down this

1272
01:20:46.040 --> 01:20:49.920
valley, I was a little further up. And I was there, looking at

1273
01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:53.440
this, and my host was a woman who was there to translate and

1274
01:20:53.440 --> 01:20:57.160
it was very clear that I didn't understand the people I didn't

1275
01:20:57.160 --> 01:21:01.040
understand the language, I didn't understand what was going

1276
01:21:01.040 --> 01:21:07.160
on. And, and in that, you know, in that situation, my, my host

1277
01:21:07.160 --> 01:21:10.000
started pointing out that this area had gone through like an

1278
01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:14.080
economic tsunami, it gone through economic ruin. And she

1279
01:21:14.080 --> 01:21:16.560
pointed out different people to me, this person over that guy

1280
01:21:16.560 --> 01:21:19.280
over there was a banker, this person over there, this lady

1281
01:21:19.280 --> 01:21:23.680
over there, she lost all her family wealth. And I looked at

1282
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:27.000
them. And I mean, they were in a hideous state, you know, like

1283
01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:31.880
not just homeless, but just poor and homeless in mud. And they

1284
01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:35.480
were hardly recognizable as human, all these people. And I

1285
01:21:35.480 --> 01:21:40.480
became aware that this town was sort of rife, this economic

1286
01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:43.600
disaster, the tsunami had come because it was rife with

1287
01:21:43.600 --> 01:21:46.720
demonic activity, which can only exist in the absence, because

1288
01:21:46.720 --> 01:21:50.120
it's the absence of something, the absence absence of kingdom

1289
01:21:50.120 --> 01:21:54.240
leaders bringing heaven to earth, the absence of kingdom

1290
01:21:54.240 --> 01:21:57.560
leaders bringing economic health and life. And I remember

1291
01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:01.840
thinking, you know, in this activity, I wasn't threatened at

1292
01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:04.880
all, because it was very rife and obvious the king, the

1293
01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:09.000
demonic activity, maybe you've experienced that before. I have

1294
01:22:09.000 --> 01:22:11.880
and I remember thinking it really sucks to be that to be

1295
01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:16.560
them, the demons, because I was here with the three. So sucks to

1296
01:22:16.560 --> 01:22:19.360
be them. Because this stuff's gonna stop working, this stuff

1297
01:22:19.360 --> 01:22:22.480
will stop being active, because we're going to reduce, we're

1298
01:22:22.480 --> 01:22:26.360
going to, we're going to dispel this nothingness and replace it.

1299
01:22:27.480 --> 01:22:31.440
And at that moment, as I thought that two demonic beings that

1300
01:22:31.440 --> 01:22:34.720
looked like overgrown dogs, or even they were crawling on,

1301
01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:38.080
they were hideous creatures, like oversized mutilated dogs,

1302
01:22:38.080 --> 01:22:41.560
maybe the size of a bear started moving towards me in a very

1303
01:22:41.560 --> 01:22:45.400
threatening, snarling way down this riverbed towards me. And

1304
01:22:45.400 --> 01:22:47.720
the people were obviously used to them. And they started

1305
01:22:47.720 --> 01:22:52.000
cowering, and obviously deeply fearful that they were, this was

1306
01:22:52.000 --> 01:22:55.480
a common thing that we're used to seeing. And I remember in my

1307
01:22:55.480 --> 01:23:00.600
dream, I stood up. And I shouted in an ancient heavenly language

1308
01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:03.960
in tongues, just one word, a very power, I knew it was

1309
01:23:03.960 --> 01:23:07.520
powerful. You know, it found like my Gandalf moment on the

1310
01:23:07.520 --> 01:23:11.240
bridge, you shall not pass it at that kind of, you know,

1311
01:23:11.360 --> 01:23:15.360
cinematic impact in my dream. And everybody was shocked

1312
01:23:15.360 --> 01:23:19.440
because I shouted this word. And for some reason, the word I

1313
01:23:19.440 --> 01:23:22.360
shouted was a language they understood, they knew exactly

1314
01:23:22.360 --> 01:23:26.160
what it meant, even though I didn't know it by the words, but

1315
01:23:26.160 --> 01:23:29.080
I knew my spirit by interpretation, what I was, I

1316
01:23:29.080 --> 01:23:33.320
was ending something, I was saying this stops. And I started

1317
01:23:33.320 --> 01:23:36.440
to walk steps down as these beasts came towards me. And I

1318
01:23:36.440 --> 01:23:41.320
started to shout aloud in this very ancient heavenly language,

1319
01:23:41.320 --> 01:23:45.640
which I knew was a battle language. And the beast stopped.

1320
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:48.600
And as they stopped, there was fear in their eyes, and they

1321
01:23:48.600 --> 01:23:55.720
turned to stone because it's fake. And a visible shockwave.

1322
01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:59.600
And I had raised my arms up like this. And I shouted in my dream

1323
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:04.680
this, this language. And it was like a visual visual shockwave

1324
01:24:05.040 --> 01:24:08.160
left, you know, almost like you've maybe seen Star Wars,

1325
01:24:08.160 --> 01:24:12.400
like room, you know, that sort of idea in my dream. And the

1326
01:24:12.400 --> 01:24:15.520
play, the shockwave traveled right down the valley and

1327
01:24:15.520 --> 01:24:20.440
throughout the town. And, and it changed. And immediately, there

1328
01:24:20.440 --> 01:24:23.560
were these dark gray clouds, they lifted and fresh air came

1329
01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:27.360
in and sunlight entered. It felt like people were feeling the sun

1330
01:24:27.360 --> 01:24:31.600
on their skin for the first time in a very, very, very long while.

1331
01:24:32.280 --> 01:24:35.800
And there were gasps and joyful sounds everywhere. So I was in

1332
01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:39.360
this moment. And I turned and there was the banker and he was

1333
01:24:39.360 --> 01:24:43.520
standing in a fresh suit, perfectly groomed. I didn't

1334
01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:47.040
recognize him. And he was astonished. He was shocked. He

1335
01:24:47.040 --> 01:24:50.360
was looking at his clothes. He was feeling his face shaven,

1336
01:24:50.640 --> 01:24:54.440
great haircut, perfectly groomed, fresh, showered, clean,

1337
01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:59.600
instantly. And I told him you're a banker again. And your job is

1338
01:24:59.600 --> 01:24:59.840
now

1339
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:02.800
restored, not going to be, is.

1340
01:25:02.800 --> 01:25:04.760
And I looked at that elderly lady

1341
01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:06.440
and she was elegantly dressed.

1342
01:25:06.440 --> 01:25:09.680
And I said, your family fortune has been fully restored.

1343
01:25:09.680 --> 01:25:11.720
She began to cry.

1344
01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:14.720
And the host asked me, who are you?

1345
01:25:14.720 --> 01:25:16.280
I mean, how is this even possible?

1346
01:25:16.280 --> 01:25:18.440
No one's done this.

1347
01:25:18.440 --> 01:25:21.560
And I replied loudly for all to hear,

1348
01:25:21.560 --> 01:25:23.680
who I am is not important.

1349
01:25:23.680 --> 01:25:25.800
It's whose I am that matters.

1350
01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:27.840
And so she said, well, then whose are you?

1351
01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:31.480
And I started to answer that I belong to the creative father,

1352
01:25:31.480 --> 01:25:33.280
to the redeemer son.

1353
01:25:33.280 --> 01:25:35.320
And I started talking about the powerful restorer

1354
01:25:35.320 --> 01:25:36.160
of the Holy Spirit.

1355
01:25:36.160 --> 01:25:40.400
And I was blown away by it.

1356
01:25:40.400 --> 01:25:41.840
And I started to share the gospel.

1357
01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:43.600
And I woke up.

1358
01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:45.480
It was 3 AM in the morning.

1359
01:25:45.480 --> 01:25:48.520
And the Lord said, this is worth getting up for.

1360
01:25:48.520 --> 01:25:49.920
And I woke up.

1361
01:25:49.920 --> 01:25:51.640
And I knew it was related to what

1362
01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:53.240
we were doing at Brilliant.

1363
01:25:53.240 --> 01:25:55.800
But I felt also it was related to what we're doing here

1364
01:25:55.800 --> 01:25:57.200
at the NSO Corps.

1365
01:25:57.200 --> 01:25:58.600
We're opening up new space.

1366
01:25:58.600 --> 01:26:00.320
We're doing more than just helping people

1367
01:26:00.320 --> 01:26:02.080
with their business and practical business,

1368
01:26:02.080 --> 01:26:05.040
downstairs stuff and upstairs views and perspectives.

1369
01:26:05.040 --> 01:26:07.720
We were crafting something in God's heart,

1370
01:26:07.720 --> 01:26:11.360
a new possibility that mattered to Him.

1371
01:26:11.360 --> 01:26:12.720
So I went to pray.

1372
01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:14.520
The presence of the Lord was so powerful.

1373
01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:19.040
It's just my whole body felt like it was glowing.

1374
01:26:19.040 --> 01:26:21.360
I think glory would be a good word to describe it.

1375
01:26:21.360 --> 01:26:24.920
And I continued to pray in the Spirit in that language.

1376
01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:28.480
And it felt like a new yoke language.

1377
01:26:28.480 --> 01:26:30.760
I've talked about having the yoke voice.

1378
01:26:30.760 --> 01:26:32.280
He sounds like what I sound like.

1379
01:26:32.280 --> 01:26:35.120
But when we're together, what we sound like together.

1380
01:26:35.120 --> 01:26:38.200
And I prayed for the team, our family,

1381
01:26:38.200 --> 01:26:41.600
prayed for Inner Circle, for you guys.

1382
01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:43.600
And the Lord said to me, remember this place

1383
01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:44.920
will come here often.

1384
01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:48.280
And we'll use this yoke voice.

1385
01:26:48.280 --> 01:26:49.760
And then He started to explain, this

1386
01:26:49.760 --> 01:26:52.120
is what financial beauty looks like.

1387
01:26:53.120 --> 01:26:55.680
When I restore desolate inheritances,

1388
01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:57.800
which if you don't know, is the prophetic word

1389
01:26:57.800 --> 01:27:01.600
of our family, is I-49, restore of desolate inheritances.

1390
01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:06.240
And so He wanted me to create a crafted prayer about finance,

1391
01:27:06.240 --> 01:27:10.200
about money, and about restoring financial inheritances.

1392
01:27:10.200 --> 01:27:11.800
So here's my prayer for you.

1393
01:27:14.720 --> 01:27:19.600
Here's the crafted prayer that I wrote directly after that.

1394
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:23.560
Father, for people listening to this

1395
01:27:23.560 --> 01:27:26.600
and to those listening to the replay,

1396
01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:31.880
I pray for found money, for unexpected income,

1397
01:27:31.880 --> 01:27:34.640
for checks in the mail, and unexpected returns

1398
01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:36.560
on investments.

1399
01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:40.840
I pray, Lord, for new customers, new sources of income,

1400
01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:42.800
new products and new services.

1401
01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:46.600
I pray for new discoveries and inventions.

1402
01:27:46.600 --> 01:27:49.880
I pray, Lord, for innovative business models

1403
01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:56.440
and new capital sources that come from heaven to earth.

1404
01:27:56.440 --> 01:27:58.560
I pray for the team members we have, Lord,

1405
01:27:58.560 --> 01:28:01.920
to discover new abilities they didn't know they had,

1406
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:06.480
new methods, new processes, new innovations, new breakthroughs.

1407
01:28:06.480 --> 01:28:08.480
I pray for new members for our team, Lord,

1408
01:28:08.480 --> 01:28:11.200
with unexpected contributions we never even

1409
01:28:11.200 --> 01:28:13.880
saw when we hired them.

1410
01:28:13.880 --> 01:28:17.520
I pray for a team cohesion and unity

1411
01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:20.720
that has huge effect on our customers

1412
01:28:20.720 --> 01:28:24.640
and brings life to our team members and their families.

1413
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:29.000
I pray for profitable businesses that can fund their own growth

1414
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:31.520
and be generous on every occasion.

1415
01:28:31.520 --> 01:28:36.480
I pray for economic engines that can power development,

1416
01:28:36.480 --> 01:28:40.600
innovation, growth, and capital and can move the business

1417
01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:45.440
into its full stature in the kingdom.

1418
01:28:45.440 --> 01:28:49.800
I pray for kingdom leadership that partners with you,

1419
01:28:49.800 --> 01:28:53.400
builds life-giving cultures, creates teams

1420
01:28:53.400 --> 01:28:56.800
that are fully alive with purpose,

1421
01:28:56.800 --> 01:29:01.120
and brings real value to the world.

1422
01:29:01.120 --> 01:29:06.320
I pray for resolution of legal disputes, lawsuits, mediations,

1423
01:29:06.320 --> 01:29:09.640
and the ending of long legal battles.

1424
01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:15.400
I pray for favorable outcomes and peaceful resolutions.

1425
01:29:15.400 --> 01:29:21.640
I pray for businesses operated on earth as it is in heaven.

1426
01:29:21.640 --> 01:29:27.080
Bring a new era of enterprise to the earth, Lord.

1427
01:29:27.080 --> 01:29:30.800
Release heaven's resources to restore

1428
01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:36.240
the desolate inheritances and redeem that which was lost.

1429
01:29:36.240 --> 01:29:40.040
Raise kingdom leaders who are fully reconciled to you,

1430
01:29:40.040 --> 01:29:46.160
Father, in yoke with you, Jesus, and in step with you,

1431
01:29:46.160 --> 01:29:48.440
Holy Spirit.

1432
01:29:48.440 --> 01:29:51.360
Amen.

1433
01:29:51.360 --> 01:29:52.680
Thanks, everybody.

1434
01:29:52.680 --> 01:29:54.120
Appreciate you joining us today.

1435
01:29:56.880 --> 01:29:58.840
Have a great day.
