225 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.140 Incredible, incredible. 226 00:20:38.340 --> 00:20:40.940 All right, let's go through some of the principles 227 00:20:40.940 --> 00:20:43.140 and then we'll get into prayer. 228 00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:44.860 I've got like a few principles 229 00:20:44.860 --> 00:20:47.200 I want you to really glean from this. 230 00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:51.260 As we're laying the foundation this week 231 00:20:51.260 --> 00:20:53.820 for the pressure to partnership, 232 00:20:53.820 --> 00:20:56.980 I want you to have this biblical foundation, 233 00:20:56.980 --> 00:21:00.260 these biblical principles to live by and stand on. 234 00:21:00.260 --> 00:21:05.260 So the principle number one is that hard seasons, 235 00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:08.860 which we're in and I think we're gonna go into even more 236 00:21:08.860 --> 00:21:10.580 in a lot of ways, 237 00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:15.120 hard seasons often trigger contraction. 238 00:21:16.300 --> 00:21:21.060 So when pressure rises, people often stop dreaming, 239 00:21:21.060 --> 00:21:24.940 they stop asking, they stop expecting, 240 00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:27.420 they do the opposite of what Jeremiah said, 241 00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:30.160 oh, I better not buy houses, I better not build, 242 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.020 I better not have children, I better not plan, 243 00:21:33.020 --> 00:21:36.400 I better not expect, I better not dream. 244 00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:41.460 And Jeremiah 29 is speaking to this, 245 00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:44.480 he's saying, increase, don't decrease. 246 00:21:45.900 --> 00:21:49.420 I like, my favorite saying is expand 247 00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:51.640 in the face of contraction. 248 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.280 At the time that we stopped creating, 249 00:21:55.280 --> 00:21:59.360 we stopped sowing, we stopped showing up boldly 250 00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:00.920 because what I want you to understand, 251 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:05.840 we've talked about this physiologically, emotionally, 252 00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:10.720 and in all ways, fear contracts. 253 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.940 Love expands, fear contracts. 254 00:22:14.940 --> 00:22:17.080 Think about what happens, your whole blood, 255 00:22:17.080 --> 00:22:20.320 everything goes to the center, it leaves your extremities, 256 00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:22.400 it leaves the part of your brain, 257 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.720 goes down to the reptilian brain, right? 258 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:29.360 It like, down to the base, we contract, we squeeze. 259 00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:30.600 Think about when you're afraid, 260 00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:32.980 like you're about to fall, something's about to happen, 261 00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.820 what do you do? 262 00:22:33.820 --> 00:22:35.920 You contract, you brace. 263 00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:40.840 This is the kind of thing that we do 264 00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:42.880 when we feel like we're being hit. 265 00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:48.280 And so fear creates this internal shrinking 266 00:22:48.280 --> 00:22:51.600 before we even see the external shrinking. 267 00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:54.680 It comes first, the internal shrinking. 268 00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:58.880 You think about economically, what is a recession? 269 00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.520 Everybody stops spending, they contract, 270 00:23:01.520 --> 00:23:04.680 they hold, they save, they get scared. 271 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.400 Now we enter a recession opposite 272 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.040 of everybody circulating, okay? 273 00:23:11.040 --> 00:23:13.200 But we've got to remember that this pressure, 274 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.380 this captivity, any circumstance of life 275 00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:19.800 does not cancel God's covenant. 276 00:23:19.800 --> 00:23:24.740 You have to understand God is a covenant keeping God. 277 00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:26.820 If you don't understand covenant 278 00:23:26.820 --> 00:23:30.700 and the new covenant that we're operating in, 279 00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:33.740 you're not standing on how he created things. 280 00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:38.740 So no circumstances cancel his covenant, it's everlasting. 281 00:23:39.300 --> 00:23:43.460 He will not ignore it or shrink it or not follow it. 282 00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:47.980 So our current circumstances, whatever they may be, 283 00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:51.340 in sickness, in relationships, in finances, 284 00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:53.540 in business, in health, 285 00:23:53.540 --> 00:23:56.500 whatever your current circumstances, 286 00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:58.620 they don't cancel the covenant. 287 00:23:58.620 --> 00:24:03.620 They don't cancel God's word over your life, God's promises. 288 00:24:04.560 --> 00:24:06.940 You must understand that. 289 00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:11.180 Those are weatherproof, healthproof, disasterproof. 290 00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:16.540 And that's why I started the program 291 00:24:17.580 --> 00:24:19.140 from pressure to partnership, 292 00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:22.660 because what I'm seeing is a lot of women 293 00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:24.300 putting on a bold front. 294 00:24:24.300 --> 00:24:29.020 They're functioning externally, right? 295 00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:34.060 They are going through the motions externally. 296 00:24:34.060 --> 00:24:39.060 They're doing the thing, but they're contracted internally. 297 00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:42.540 This is what I see. 298 00:24:43.820 --> 00:24:48.660 And biblically, everything starts on the inside. 299 00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:53.020 God does not work outside to inside. 300 00:24:53.020 --> 00:24:54.840 He works inside to outside. 301 00:24:54.840 --> 00:24:56.660 And when you understand this, 302 00:24:56.660 --> 00:24:58.960 your circumstances won't sway you. 303 00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.100 You'll speak to them. 304 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.000 You'll speak to the storm, right? 305 00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.480 Because scripture says rivers of living water flow out of your belly. 306 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:13.200 Scripture says out of the heart flows the issues of life. 307 00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:16.000 Scripture says as within, so without. 308 00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.200 So we have to understand. 309 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:27.680 So if we're trying to build outside, but we're contracted on the inside, it will not work. 310 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:29.800 It's destined to fail. 311 00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:33.200 So that's why I started this program. 312 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.280 So that's number one. 313 00:25:34.280 --> 00:25:46.680 Number two principle from this, God told them to build in captivity. 314 00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.040 This is profound. 315 00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:55.880 He did not say, wait until conditions improve. 316 00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:01.680 You've got so many people that are, I'm just waiting for whatever to change the economy, 317 00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.240 the president, my spouse, my job, my finance. 318 00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:12.600 I'm just waiting for something externally to change and then love that Christine build 319 00:26:12.600 --> 00:26:13.960 to show your faith. 320 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:15.920 Love that. 321 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.440 So God told them to build in captivity. 322 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:24.280 He did not say wait until conditions improve. 323 00:26:24.280 --> 00:26:29.560 I heard the other day, everything lives where the river flows. 324 00:26:29.560 --> 00:26:30.560 Love that. 325 00:26:30.560 --> 00:26:32.120 Love that. 326 00:26:32.120 --> 00:26:36.840 So God did not tell him, wait until conditions improve. 327 00:26:36.840 --> 00:26:50.360 He said, build now, plant now, multiply now, increase now, why? 328 00:26:50.360 --> 00:26:55.000 Because this is getting clear on who or what is our source. 329 00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:58.040 Our source is not the economy. 330 00:26:58.040 --> 00:27:00.240 Our source is not the algorithms. 331 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.000 Our source is not our clients. 332 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:04.680 Our source is not AI. 333 00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.000 Our source is not social media. 334 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.120 Our source is not perfect conditions. 335 00:27:10.120 --> 00:27:15.720 Our source is not the government. 336 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:20.040 We have one source. 337 00:27:20.040 --> 00:27:24.800 Our source is God. 338 00:27:24.800 --> 00:27:27.840 We have one source. 339 00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:31.760 Our source is God. 340 00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:34.440 Our source is God. 341 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.880 There's many resources. 342 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:38.960 Do you hear the word re?
