court. All right, I'm going to give a second welcome because I didn't push for court. Thank
you for your patience. It's okay. You guys can see I'm real. I'm real human. I make mistakes.
Welcome to day one of Resurrect Your Spirit and Business. We're going to be together six days
all the way through Saturday morning leading up to Resurrection Sunday, the day that changed all
of history. And I believe this week has the hugest potential based on 10 years of leading this
with the upgrades has the potential to completely uplevel your spirit, your business,
the way that you are living, the amount of clarity, the amount of peace, the amount of joy,
the amount of hearing the presence of God, feeling his lead, reconnecting. It's going to be very
transformational. So turn off all distractions. Thank you for showing up live. It's most powerful.
We can interact in the chat. I'll probably stay for a minute after the recording and even answer
any questions if you want. So the biggest question that I think we face that changes the course of
our life is who or what is our source? Who or what is your source? My source. Today is about
life union. It's about returning to the true source. You see so often we make our spouse our
source, our clients, our source, the government, our source, our own self, whatever it is.
And what we think ends up being the challenge is I don't have enough time. I'm going to tell
you today it's not a time problem. I just don't know what to do. I'm going to tell you today it's
not a strategy problem. I'm going to bring a different angle. It is a connection problem.
You see, I believe that you're not tired because you're doing too much.
I believe you're tired because you're doing a disconnected from the source. So today is going
to be about reconnecting powerfully. I'm going to share some slides just to help you get the most
from this. And I'm super excited to share this. So hopefully someone give me, Shaley, give me a
thumbs up if you guys are seeing this or Charla, I see you. Give me a thumbs up if you're seeing
the slide. Okay, beautiful. All right. So again, welcome to resurrect your spirit and business.
Today is about life union. It's about returning to the source. You see, you're not tired because
you're doing too much. You're tired because you're doing it disconnected from the source.
And I think this is going to become more and more real for you as we go through.
So we're going to go through some scriptures to just anchor this. We're going to start with the
book of John. And this is the Passion Translation. And just let this soak in. Put on a beginner's
mind and just hear this for the first time. Just pretend that our Lord and Savior is just speaking
to you right now, brand new. He's tapping you on the shoulder. He's whispering in your ear.
And I want you to hear this. He says, live in life union with me. I love the way in the Passion
Translated that that's hyphenated. Think about that word, life union. Jesus is calling us to live
in life union with me. And then he goes into the metaphor of a branch, vine and branches.
And he says, for as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be
fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine. I want you just to think about
that, the contrast here of a fruitless life. Imagine going through your whole life and you're
a tree that's just designed to bear luscious, luscious fruit. And for the entire life.
life of that tree. There's no fruit. On the contrary, as you live your life in union with
me as your source, this is a big word, source. Fruitfulness will stream up from within you.
Notice where this comes from. It just bubbles up. Rivers of living water flow out of your
belly. This fruitfulness doesn't come from outside. It's not trying to get or find or
attach or anything else. This fruitfulness is going to originate within you. But when
you live separated from me, you are powerless. What a contrast. A life of fruit and power
and a life of fruitlessness. This is a deep thought. Disconnected, powerless. Connected,
fruit flows. Jesus went on to say that they may all be one. This is Jesus's last prayer.
Last prayer before he was crucified. So we're backing up from resurrection and Jesus is
talking to the father so intimately. He's so connected to the source, the father. And
he's saying that they all, us, you, me, the disciples may be one just as you father are
in me and I in you that they also may be in us. I want you to see this interweaving. He's
saying you father, creator, God, you're in me. And creator, God, I'm in you. And they are all
in us. I'm in them. There's this interconnected. Colossians 121 says although you were at one time
estranged and alienated from him. You see, we were created by very nature. We were created for union
and we hunger for that union. We crave it. We try to find it. We try to find it in a person.
We try to find it in our purpose. We try to find it in career. We try to find it in
in some kind of connection or recognition or promotion or we try to find it somewhere.
But we were created for union. We were never meant to just figure this out. We were never
meant to carry this alone. We were never meant to live in separation. And I want to tell you my
experience is that most women that I coach and that I know and I see they're partially connected.
I don't know. You can almost picture the vine in the branch and it's just kind of like you ever
seen one of branches cut off and it's just it's just kind of barely hanging on. What do I mean?
We pray. Oh God, just help me. God, I need you to come through. God, please let me know you're real.
And then we walk away and we strive and we do it in our own strength and we push and we hustle
and we fight. We connect and then we disconnect. We seek God and then we build alone.
And this leads
to fragmentation. It's a huge word. A huge word. Fragmentation.
Fragmentation. It's an internal separation and division and it's an external separation
and division. Fragmentation.
So we live in this partial
connection, we pray, we go through our morning spiritual practice, we do what we
can do, then we walk away as if nothing happened and we strive and we do it in
our own strength and our own power. Put in the chat if I'm talking to anybody, am
I the only one or am I talking to you? And so we have this this almost like
whiplash in our life. We have moments where we connect and then we disconnect
and we live under pressure and we we press into God and we know we need him
and then we just go try to do it ourselves. Am I talking to anybody? This
is what we're gonna change this week. You see when we're fragmented and James 1
8 talks about being double-minded, this fragmentation. It talks about being
divided and it says that when we are divided like that, when we're double
minded like that, it says that we're unstable in all our ways. This is what
we're experiencing as a culture, unstable in all our ways. We lack certainty, we
lack peace, we lack clear direction, we're always trying to figure it out.
Right? And so what happens with this fragmentation is that we're divided
internally, what James 1 is talking about, and we're inconsistent externally. Our
results are inconsistent, inconsistent. And so this has a very real cost. This
has a very real cost. And so in the spirit, what we see is that it becomes
harder. It's harder to hear God. We feel a distance. We feel dry. We feel
unclear. And so it's affecting our spirit and our spiritual life. But it
also is affecting our body. This is why we live so much in the sympathetic, the
fight or flight, the high cortisol, the stress, the high blood pressure, the
breakdowns. Because the cortisol is rising and we have the stress response
and we're in survival mode. And it affects our mind and our emotions. We're
overthinking all the time. We're always trying to figure it out. We're anxious.
We're in pressure. And it affects our business, ladies. It affects our
business. Good to see you, Amanda. I love having two Amandas. You guys got to
meet each other. It's so fun. All right. Affects our business. We're forcing it.
The hustle, the grind, the striving. Those of you that have read my book, and if you
haven't, this is a good complement with this, my book, The Inner Slave Woman. It's
affecting every area of our life, the inner slave woman. And so in our business,
we're forcing instead of flowing. We're second-guessing. We're jumping from
guru to guru. And we're jumping from, you know, tactic and strategy and platform.
And we keep thinking that if we change something outside, that it'll fix it. And
so you can be doing all the right things, but you still feel like nothing is
working. So here's the truth. Disconnection is not neutral. It has a
cost. We're paying that cost right now. This level of disconnection, disconnected
from God, disconnected from each other, disconnected from ourself, ladies,
disconnected. Our mind and our heart are no longer in coherence. We're
disconnected. We're disconnected from our body. We have symptoms and we think that
they're just random things. I'm telling you, the symptoms you're experiencing in
your body, if you've never read Feelings Buried Alive, Never Die, or something
similar, and you look in that glossary, I can tell you, coaching since 2012, this
disconnection is not neutral.
It has a cost and it's a big cost.
It's a big cost.
So let's look at the truth of what we really have this resurrection week.
Why are we doing this course?
Why are we spending this time together?
What's possible?
What can change in our life that can completely change the course of our health and of our
peace and of our prosperity and of our relationships?
What can change?
It's this week.
It's what happened Sunday morning when he rose again.
So let's look at a couple of scriptures.
Galatians 2.20 says, my old identity has been co-crucified.
And now the anointed one lives his life through me.
This is a different way of living.
It's what scripture calls Christ in me, the hope of glory.
It's the thing that separates Christianity from every other religion.
It's the power.
It's the greater is he that is in me that is in the world.
We don't have awareness.
He can be in us, but we're not living it.
He's not living his life through us.
And so this whole week, we're going to go through, scripture says that we're crucified,
we're co-crucified.
It says we're buried with him.
It says we're resurrected with him.
It says we're seated in high places.
This is what you're going to go through this week.
I'm going to lead you through very deep experiences, deep transformation of what this looks like.
You're going to actually live it in your body, in your mind, in your heart, being co-crucified
and experience him.
Christ in me, the hope of glory.
Christ in me, not striving.
Christ in me.
And so what I want you to get from this is that fruit, and there's an inner fruit that
we all desire.
It's called the fruits of the spirit.
There's an inner fruit, love, incredible love.
When you know that you are so loved, that that love is in you, that you are love, peace,
peace that passes all understanding.
There's an inner fruit, love.
You're not looking for love outside of yourself.
You feel so loved.
You know moment by moment that love is in you.
The creator of the universe, God, God is love.
You are aware of this presence of love and you're so aware of peace.
Jesus said, peace I give you not as the world gives you.
So there's this inner fruit of love and peace and joy.
What's happened to the joy?
The joy of the Lord is my strength near at Maya 810.
So what we're doing this week is about an inner experience, an inner fruit.
It's also an outer fruit.
I don't separate those.
The outer fruit is income.
It's true prosperity.
It's where you're prospering in all things, physically, financially, spiritually, relationally.
It's impact.
And so what I want you to get is that fruit is not produced by effort.
Fruit flows from connection.
And so I open with the question, who or what is your source?
What's the first thing you turn to in hard times?
Where do you go first?
You suddenly get a symptom in your body.
You suddenly get a medical scare.
Where do you go first?
You suddenly get a financial scare.
The pressure is high.
Where do you go first?
These are clues as to who or what is your source.
You're scared.
You're lonely.
You're in pain.
You're hurting.
Where do you go first?
Who or what?
These are clues as to who or what is your source.
your source. Because here's what I want to tell you, that whatever
You're scared.
You're lonely.
you're sourcing, determines wherever your sources determines
your energy, it determines your clarity, it determines your
results. So, you know, fear is going to lead to pressure self,
if we're relying on ourself, which there's a whole movement of
relying on ourself, it's twisted. It's not me. Jesus said
apart from me, you can do nothing, you're powerless, we
open with that verse. But with me, ah, yes. Power, power, power
leads to flow. So fruits not the reward of an effort, it's the
result of connection. And so when you're disconnected from
God, your body knows, your mind knows, your business knows, your
finances know. And so today, I wanted to lay a foundation.
Today, I want to return to this union to this connection. And of
course, transformation always starts with awareness. So we're
starting with awareness. And so when I teach when you've heard
me teach about a daily spiritual practice, this is non
negotiable. To not have this is to go through life without food.
Right? They were always looking for food in the Bible, they were
looking for bread. And Jesus would say, I bread you don't
know of. He said, I am the living bread, I am the living
water. So it's tapping into an endless, eternal, immortal,
unlimited, unfathomable source of nutrition for your soul, for
your body, for your mind. And to disconnect from that is to
live disconnected. And so that's why I created the prosper daily
planner. And if you don't have this yet, this is a starting
place to putting your life back in order and not scattered. The
daily routine in here has worked for me and countless,
countless, countless women. I don't miss a day. I live by
this. This is how I do my days. I know I'm not making it straight
that you can see it. But you get the idea. This is how I see if I
can open it straight. Anyway, you guys get the idea. And the
top of it is what we're talking about today. Okay, which is the
morning spiritual practice, the golden hour. And those of you in
business, I've taught you the magic where you go from the
golden hour to the overflow hour. That was in the multiply
without striving masterclass. If you miss that, it is the
simplest strategy for building your business. We're getting
women's income higher than they've ever been faster. What
used to take a year is taking 90 days to grow the income, we're
actually hitting six figures. I mean, I've got some women now
hitting 15 16,000 in two months, even it's like it's condensing,
because it's building the way Jesus built. And so in there, we
go from the golden hour, which is what we do each morning,
which we're doing some of this here this week, so that you have
a new habit, you've set aside time. And we go when we're
filled up and we're reconnected. And we're operating from that
place of wholeness and not fragmentation. We go from there
and we spill out on social media and in our email, and we just we
just gush rivers of living water flow out of us and we just spill
out on our clients and they're magnetized and they're blessed
and your business grows and they join you. And so there's a daily
spiritual practice that's listed in there. And you can just check
it off. And it doesn't matter how many minutes if you're brand
new, do a few of them and do one minute, I don't care, start
somewhere and then work up to five minutes. But be consistent
work up to 10 minutes. This is non
goshable, okay?
All right, I wanna do a practice.
I'm gonna go through a few things
just to let you experience some of the morning practice,
some of the things I do that just keep me on fire,
keep me alive, keep me prospering internally and externally.
I wanna do some of those with you today,
and we're gonna end with a powerful meditation, okay?
So I wanna start with breath,
and I can't remember if I had a slide for that,
but if I don't, it doesn't matter.
Let's see, let's see if I'm on track.
Okay, in him we live and move and have our being.
In him we live and move and have our being.
Yes, here it is.
I want you to understand a concept in scripture.
The same word for spirit and breath, ruach, ruach,
spirit, Holy Spirit, ruach, is the same word for breath.
And if you think about our life,
if you think about creation, God breathed into Adam
and he became a living soul.
And when we die, we breathe out our last breath.
When a baby is born, breathe in that first breath.
So breath is life.
Breath is spirit.
And we in our culture,
we don't understand the importance of breath.
We don't breathe.
We're hunched over.
We're looking at stuff in computer all the time.
We don't keep airways.
We don't know how to breathe deep.
We don't know how to use breath to calm our nervous system,
connect with God.
And so one of the first things you can do to reconnect,
that's so simple, no matter where you are, is breathe.
Breathe.
So I want you to put your feet on the ground
and I want you to experience that, okay?
The first thing I want you to understand is timing.
God has created it that when the exhale
is longer than the inhale,
it activates your parasympathetic, your rest and digest.
It lowers the stress.
It lowers the cortisol.
It just, there's so much that happens in the body.
So if you do nothing else,
make sure the exhale is longer than the inhale, okay?
So if you were gonna breathe in to a count of four,
practice this with me,
then breathe out to a count of six.
So do that again with me.
Breathe in to a count of four.
Hold it.
And then breathe out to a count of six.
One more time.
That just reset your body.
Now, this is how I start by reconnecting.
And one of my favorite things to reconnect
is what we're reading, that Jesus said,
that he's in us, that we're in him, that we're one.
And so I like to breathe in
and just imagine God just filling me.
And I say, you are in me.
And I just imagine breathing it in.
And then I say, I'm in you.
And I lean forward and I just imagine,
the Bible says we're hidden in Christ, right?
So I'm in you.
You're in me.
I'm in you.
I'm sorry, I said that backwards.
You're in me.
And I'm in you.
We are one.
Get that visual, do it again with me.
You're in me.
I'm in you.
We are one.
You can also say, I love you.
You love me.
We are one.
You love me.
I love you.
We are one.
How many of you
already
feel something different just doing that? If that's all you did in the morning to remind you,
put in the chat if you feel something different there.
Now,
what else can we do in the morning that makes such a difference? We can start with breath.
And if,
if,
let me just see what's buzzing everywhere. I want to get rid of that. Hold on just one second. That's gotta go.
Okay, there we go. Let me come back to you. Okay.
So,
if you've been disconnected, every day is brand new. God is saying return to me. There's no judgment.
There's no condemnation. I want you to think of the word Jesus used so often, which is
repent.
Repent. It just means make a spiritual U-turn.
Make a spiritual
U-turn. And so you say, where have I been doing life without you?
God, I, I, I repent. I make a U-turn. No, we're in this together.
It's like a husband and wife, which is the closest thing
God could come when you have a husband and wife that are truly united.
We see what happens when a husband and wife are separated. It's kind of hell, honestly.
But when a husband and, and, and wife are operating as one, it's a model of what Jesus wanted to do. And so
sometimes, it's like I was talking to a woman last night at salsa and
I can see they're just going separate and it's not looking good. And I said, just pull back.
Maybe take a trip.
Get back
to each other.
Remember, the Bible says, remember your first love.
What is it that made you fall in love with God in the first place?
Remember your first love.
And so now this is the time and in the daily spiritual practice, you have some time to read scripture.
This is like receiving. It's living water. It just, it just fills you and it doesn't have to be a lot, even a paragraph.
Sometimes God's going to lead you to the same thing.
Over the past months, I've been reading Psalms 91 and Psalms 23, just dozens and dozens and dozens of times.
Sometimes just one paragraph at a time.
He who dwells
in the shelter of the Almighty
will find rest.
Rest.
You just think about that. He who dwells. What does it mean to dwell?
Like you chew like the cud of a cow. That's what meditate means. You're chewing like the cud.
And you're just chewing on a verse. Better to digest a verse than eat a whole steak or a whole cow.
Okay, just a little bit. And then
one of my favorite morning things to do as we commune. Think about communication.
Commune.
There's two things I do to just really have a conversation
with God.
One is journaling.
Okay, and I consider, you know, there's the rhema,
revealed word of God. There's the logos, written word of God. So when you're reading the Bible, it's logos.
You're reading the written word of God and we treasure it. It has life. It has breath. Okay.
And then the rhema is the revealed
word of God. And so I use heartbound journals. I've got these on my shelf
because this to me is rhema. It's also the word of God.
Scripture talks about when people would get revelation,
like Mary, and she'd get revelation from the angels or they'd hear from the Holy Spirit and it would say they would store these
things in their heart.
What are you doing with the revealed word? What are you doing with what God shows you?
So here's how I do journaling.
Do you notice there's two colors?
So the pink, that's me talking to God.
And it's asking questions.
And it's just rich.
What do you want me to know in this situation?
What do you want me to be?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to understand?
And I can ask very specific questions.
Then I change pens and I use a purple pen and I write.
And when this is first new, it might feel a little,
just don't judge yourself.
Don't go back and correct it.
Just allow, ask the Holy Spirit to write through you.
The Bible says that our pen can be a mighty instrument.
And so you write and I don't even read it until I'm done.
And you might come to a stopping place and you say,
is there more Lord?
And you write some more.
And then here's what's really powerful and beautiful.
You could read it that day, but here's what I encourage you.
Read it like a week later, like that Sunday,
go back through, you notice I have things
that are underlined and highlighted.
Because this is the rhema word of God.
I go back, I forgot God even said that.
And a week later, I go back a month later,
I go back a quarter later.
It's like, oh my goodness,
the Lord was setting me up completely.
Like revelation knowledge flows freely through you.
So journaling is a powerful part
of your morning spiritual practice, okay?
Another powerful part of morning practice is gratitude.
And gratitude actually just raises our frequency.
If you understand energy,
everything that God created is frequency.
Don't get weirded out.
Frequency means wavelength.
There's like slow wavelengths.
There's very fast and high wavelengths, okay?
And everything has a wavelength.
Things that have a very low lead to disease and death.
Things that have a very high lead
to the fruits of the spirit.
The highest frequencies are love, joy, and peace, okay?
This is science.
This is Bible.
And so one of the ways to raise your frequency
at any given moment,
you can do this throughout the day, is gratitude.
And you just like from the time you wake up,
instead of waking up and, oh, I hate that alarm.
And waking up in the spirit of lack,
oh, I don't have enough time.
I don't have enough money.
I don't have enough energy.
I didn't get it.
All lack-based statements that put you in low frequency.
Instead of that, you wake up in a high frequency.
And you just say, thank you, Lord, for my bed.
Thank you for sleep.
Thank you for my body, so wonderfully created.
Thank you for a home.
Thank you for provision.
Thank you for food in my belly.
Thank you, most of all, for your presence.
Thank you for the air.
Thank you for the sunshine.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You just find.
And if you could write that every single day,
it's in your Prosper Daily Planner.
You can, I just, there's one line.
I just write all the way across to thank you for my health.
Thank you for my home.
Thank you for friends.
Thank you for my, I just write across that line every day.
And then we start to, so we're changing our state.
The scripture, the journaling, the prayer,
the gratitude is starting to change our state.
Okay, but that's not enough.
We also want to begin to change
and step into our true identity.
Our identity is not what you do.
I'm a coach, I'm a mother, I'm a wife.
That's not an identity, that's a role.
But who are you in Christ?
And so this is where we do our I am statements.
And so when I start a new journal,
I always, I have a journal template if any of you want that.
And I always start, I put the desires of my heart
on the first page, writing your top three desires is huge
and looking at that every day.
And then I put my I am statements
and I add to them all the time and I review them.
And we're stepping into that identity.
I am loved and I am love.
What would your life be like if you believed I am love?
And I have scriptures for everything, okay?
So you could look up scriptures.
Romans 5, 5 says he's poured his love into my heart, right?
So, I am a chosen vessel, I'm open, this is so important, I'm open, I'm receptive, right?
This is so important, I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit, I am the daughter of the Most
High God, I am abundant and I am abundance, I prosper in all things, I am healthy, I am
youthful, I am energetic, I am sound-minded, I am wise and I make wise decisions, right?
I am a miracle worker, I have the mind of Christ and you can go on and on and it's stepping into
who God says you are, not who the world says who you are, not who your stinking thinking says who
you are, it's your new identity and so from now we've raised our frequency and with the gratitude
we've stepped into our true identity and now the morning spiritual practice, we go into the I
wills, I will, these are our declarations, these are our aligned action and again, this is all
each day, it's already written out in the top part, okay? So, it's just that check-off list
in the top part, there's the place for the I wills, it's got the place for the I'm grateful for,
if you've written your word for the year, it's got a place for your intention and I'll go later
into using some of the others but I will is your aligned action. So, I want you to understand this
is not just a routine, this is not just a habit, yes, we want to make it a habit but this, this is
how you return to source every day, this is how you connect. So, I want to do a little meditation to
just kind of bring this home and it's a, it's a two-part meditation and so if you could just put
your feet on the ground, put everything, like all distractions, we're going to finish on time,
just breathe and let, let yourself experience this because the mind doesn't know any different
actually than real experience and so doing these kind of meditations are very transformational.
The first part of this is based on a real experience I had when I was pregnant with my
middle daughter, Kristen, she was born premature and she was born six and a half weeks early
and when she was in ICU, I did not want to ever leave her, I insisted that I wanted to breastfeed,
they said I couldn't and I did and there was a nurse that worked it out that there was an
empty room right by the ICU, this room had no windows, it had no circulation,
I was in a room that didn't have any windows and I'm going to share my experience in this meditation
so that you can feel viscerally what's possible and then I'm going to combine it with a meditation
from a scripture we read today, okay? So, go ahead and close your eyes, put your feet on the ground,
relax your hands on your lap and we're going to start by breathing again,
we're going to breathe into the count of four,
hold it
and then breathe out a long exhale, just let it go, relax your whole body,
oh my god, so fill our lungs with the breath, the Ruach of God
and then let it all go,
this is why we sigh when we're stressed, it's a body way of healing, one more time,
so
as you're sitting in your chair,
I want you to imagine you're in a theater, you're in one of those big overstuffed,
comfortable theater chairs and you're so relaxed and you're so comfortable,
you're so at peace,
everything's calm
and you're looking at the screen, the huge screen in front,
And you feel yourself almost walking into the screen.
And you find yourself in a room, and it's dark.
There's no light.
There's no windows.
There's a tiny bit of light coming in from under the door.
It just feels so cold, so alone, so dark.
And so guided by the light under the door,
you kind of feel against the wall,
and you make your way to the door.
And you open the door.
And there's the light of the building,
but it's still kind of a yellow light.
And you feel called to keep walking to another door.
It's the double sliding glass doors
that when you get to them, they just burst open.
And you step outside, and you feel for the first time
in so long, you feel the cool air on your skin.
And it's contrasted by the warm sun on your skin.
And the brightness is almost overwhelming
after the darkness of being isolated and separated
in a dark room, trying to feel around with minimum light,
using your hands.
Suddenly, it's like you can see.
And the sky has never felt so beautiful, so blue, so clear.
And the white clouds.
And you look around, and the green in the trees
is so green.
And the grass is different.
You notice the different shades of green.
And you catch the flowers.
And there's purple ones, and there's pink ones.
And you feel the breeze.
And you remember Ruach, the breath of God.
And you take a deep breath.
And as you breathe, you notice a tall vine right next to you.
And you just feel the desire to lean on it.
You put your whole weight on it.
And it's so strong.
And you feel so solid.
And as you lean into it, you suddenly
feel intimately connected with it.
It's like you and the vine are one.
It's like all of a sudden, you feel a surge of life,
like a life force is coming from the vine into you.
And it's making you even more alive than the sun,
and the breeze, and the colors.
It's a different kind of life.
It feels like every cell in your body
is suddenly getting life and vibrating to a frequency.
It feels like you're just born anew.
It's like the circulation is happening.
And the energy is circulating.
And the breath is circulating.
And it's like a fresh flow of life
that's so delicious and so energizing.
And all of a sudden, it's like your eyes are opened.
And you see that that vine you're leaning on is Jesus.
And he's looking at you with such love and such compassion.
And all of a sudden, you realize this
is what you've been missing.
And you never again, you know what it is to be separated.
You know what it is to strive.
You know what it is to do in your own strength.
You know what it is to try to figure it out.
And all of a sudden, it's as if there aren't even any questions.
There's only life.
There's only love.
There's only peace.
There's only joy.
There's only hope, there's only goodness, there's only energy, and you realize you
were you were born to be in this communion, and you look into Jesus' eyes
and you repent, you say, I'm sorry, I tried to do it my way, I'm back.
And he just hugs you tighter, and as he hugs you, his wraparound presence of his Holy Spirit
just completely surrounds you. It's like you feel the Creator, and you feel the Holy Spirit as a
wraparound warm blanket of life and love, and you feel that somehow there's this oneness,
and you remember what Jesus prayed, this is what he was praying for.
I'm in you, you're in me, we are one.
Wow, that's what the book of John was talking about you think about.
And you can feel it, you can feel yourself hidden in him, completely protected, sheltered,
and you feel him in you. You understand what it means to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.
There's life in you, there's the mind of Christ in you, there's resurrection life,
it's the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, and you realize it's in you.
And there's no separation.
This is your source, this is your life, you are whole, you are complete, you lack nothing.
And you just relish in that goodness.
And you make a decision, you make a choice.
You never, ever, ever again want to be that separated branch that's fruitless,
that you never want to strive, you never want to be driven by the slave woman.
From this day forward, you will live your life with an awareness, with a consciousness of oneness,
and you know that any moment that you start to drift out of habit, that the only thing you have
to do is to whisper a prayer and say, Lord, I want to be one with you again.
My only hope is to be one with you, Creator. My only desire is to be one with you, and out of
that one, I know, will spring rivers of living water. Out of that oneness will come abundance,
inner and outer prosperity. This is the resurrected life.
And you say, I choose this, today and forevermore.
Jesus heard your prayer, the Holy Spirit heard your prayer, the Father heard your prayer,
and said, it is finished, child. We are one.
Walk this way. Live this way. Draw from me. I am your source. I am your life. I am your peace.
I am your healing. I am your abundance. I am your joy. I am your wisdom.
I am your joy. I am your wisdom. Drink, child, drink. Drink to the fullness. It's sweeter than honey.
And the gratitude just wells up in you.
You know you are changed forever from this moment. You will never forget this moment,
and you will return to it every time you need. This is life.
And so, as you start to come back to yourself, you wiggle your toes, you wiggle your hands.
I want you just to take one minute to just reflect. Write something down to remember this moment.
Write something down to remember this moment.
This is the day.
First day of Resurrection Week, this is the day your new life begins.
Welcome.
I'm going to turn the recording off.
