1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
All right, welcome, welcome, welcome, I'm super excited.

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:15.320
This of course is our 12-week commercial, we're on gate three in our From Pressure to

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.040
Partnership.

4
00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:25.560
And I love the way you guys are, you ladies are just absorbing how all of this fits together,

5
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:26.560
right?

6
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:32.560
Our power hour on Wednesdays, that's when we lay the scriptural foundation, our promise,

7
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.320
the biblical principle, we pray, it's the heaven of the heaven and earth, right?

8
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:45.520
And then in this 12-week immersion is when we really spend some time taking it deep.

9
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.640
It's still gonna be based on scripture, everything I do is, but we take it in, and you know,

10
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:58.000
the whole idea that this was born is that many women, and men I suppose, but I work

11
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:07.400
with women, are trying to build a great thing externally, business and impact and income,

12
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:15.080
and they're trying to build externally from an internally contracted state.

13
00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:22.640
Remember, we talked about faith, love, expanse, fear, we're gonna talk today the things that

14
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.360
contract and block, and when we're in a contracted state, it's hard to build out here.

15
00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:36.760
And so this was the whole idea that God spoke to me of moving from pressure to partnership,

16
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:44.160
from this internally contracted state to the expansive state that God has for you.

17
00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:50.560
And so this is the immersion part of it, and then right after this we go into office hours,

18
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.720
and that's we roll up our sleeves, and how does this apply to our business?

19
00:01:55.720 --> 00:02:02.880
So I think I was saying before the recording, you know, we're building you first, and then

20
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:05.800
we're building your business, right?

21
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:12.880
So welcome, welcome, welcome, super excited what we're doing.

22
00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:18.360
I'm reading your comments online, and I think I'm gonna answer some of the questions you've

23
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.600
been sending me, so I'm super excited.

24
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:34.120
So gate one, gate one, we really laid the foundation, and in particular in gate one

25
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:43.000
when we were really talking about being in reactivity into partnership, so from reactive

26
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:51.480
to partnership, and we laid the very first and most important in week one was about the

27
00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:54.320
morning spiritual practice.

28
00:02:54.320 --> 00:03:00.960
And you're gonna begin to see this really becomes non-negotiable.

29
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.760
And you say, but I'm not a morning person.

30
00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:06.520
I sleep in, I shut the alarm off 10 times.

31
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.680
I'm gonna encourage you.

32
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:15.520
If Jesus needed a morning spiritual practice, I'm gonna encourage you, we do too, okay?

33
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:23.640
And it's actually in all ways, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, it's creating the set point for

34
00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:25.640
the day.

35
00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:31.400
And if you go into it without that, it's like going on a trip without gas in your tank.

36
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:32.880
It's like driving without a seatbelt.

37
00:03:32.880 --> 00:03:36.480
I don't care, whatever metaphor you want to use.

38
00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:46.880
And I know for myself, I must start the day by having a set point.

39
00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:53.680
I'm setting the thermostat, my certainty for the day, my faith for the day, the word I'm

40
00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:00.360
standing on for the day, my energy, my mood, hey, I'm like anybody else.

41
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.720
I'm not a saint here.

42
00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:06.160
The thoughts can come in, the doubts can come in, the fears can come in.

43
00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:14.840
It can try to overwhelm me, I can get hypervigilant, I'm a child of trauma, I can project out all

44
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.640
the possible scary things that can happen.

45
00:04:17.640 --> 00:04:19.920
I'm not like exclusive from that.

46
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.200
I want you to know that it's not like I've arrived.

47
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:30.640
The one thing I have done, and I will not miss, it might be shorter, it might be longer,

48
00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:35.840
I will, I know I must set that set point.

49
00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:39.560
And I do it in all ways.

50
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.800
I do it nutritionally.

51
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:50.560
My body gets fed like liquid nutrition, boom, I'm starting with that in my system right

52
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:51.560
away.

53
00:04:51.640 --> 00:04:52.960
I do it with grounding.

54
00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:55.520
I go outside barefoot on my lawn.

55
00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:59.160
I breathe, I pray, I get myself centered.

56
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.880
with music. I listen to music very carefully and there's really good music right now that is

57
00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:12.320
biblical and scriptural but still just very exciting and filled with life. Maybe I'll make

58
00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:18.880
a playlist or recommend some ones for you. I told you God showed me that June was a pivot month

59
00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:25.360
and I knew I needed to stand on that word and look what God did as soon as I opened up my YouTube.

60
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:33.840
There was a whole playlist about June. It was so cool, spiritual, biblical, so cool. So like from

61
00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:41.360
music, like everything, what I'm, what I'm, the declarations, my morning walk, when I'm speaking,

62
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.760
I know I have to stand on this. I have to walk in that place or it's not going to happen. Okay,

63
00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:53.680
just like an athlete is not going to win the race without training and scripture talks about

64
00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:01.120
us training ourselves. So that's the first thing is look at your morning spiritual practice. That

65
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:11.440
was gate one and gate two was understanding where we're reasoning from. So the world is reasoning

66
00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:20.000
from outside in. Okay, we're, the world is teaching you that if you can just get, just get more money,

67
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.880
get the man, get the, if I can, then I'll be happy, healthy, and prosperous. And we just keep

68
00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:31.680
putting off our life, waiting for the outside to change. The outside, biblically, is a reflection

69
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:38.480
of what's going on inside. Jesus said, out of the heart flow the issues out of life. Out of the heart

70
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:44.720
the mouth speaks. Everything is starting inside. Rivers of living water are flowing out from within.

71
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.920
We must put the emphasis where God put the emphasis, which is on the inside. So that was

72
00:06:49.920 --> 00:07:01.120
gate two. All right, today, gate three, we're talking about vision beyond circumstances. We're

73
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:09.200
starting to talk about the concept of vision. So let me ask you, when you think about the future,

74
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:17.360
what comes up for you? When you think about the future, what comes up for you?

75
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.280
You could pop it in the chat. Just go ahead and speak. Is it, is it hope and excitement? Is it

76
00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:30.240
fear? Is it confusion? Is it overwhelm? Is it uncertainty? Okay, Stacy's excited about the

77
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:38.800
future. I love that. Okay. All right. And Stacy's a biblical counselor, by the way, a very good one.

78
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:45.600
She's my client. I'm privileged to work alongside of her. But Stacy, do you see the importance of

79
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:52.320
the morning practice and that set point and what we're talking about? I do. Every morning I'm on

80
00:07:52.320 --> 00:07:57.520
my morning walk and it's my prayer walk and worship time with the Lord. Love it. Love it.

81
00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:04.080
Gotta do that. Okay. Christine says optimistic and nervous. That's okay. That's normal. Good.

82
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:11.760
Joyful. Jackie. Okay. So now are we being real here or are we being churchy? Like, like we don't

83
00:08:11.760 --> 00:08:17.680
have to have right answers here. This is where we come together and we're real. So are all of you

84
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:24.320
just, when you look at the future, all of you are just like, or do you feel some fear coming up?

85
00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:33.520
Some other things coming up? Okay. Uncertain yet hopeful. Good. That's real. Anyone else?

86
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:45.920
Okay. So apprehensive. Good. Okay. That's real. We have to, I look at it like we have a star point.

87
00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:51.520
You have to know, you have to know yourself, right? And you have to be honest with yourself.

88
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:56.080
This is not about Pollyanna and, you know, rainbows and unicorns and forget,

89
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:03.200
just pretending everything's okay. We do have to guard our heart and our mind. We have to guard

90
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:10.960
our mouth and what we say. So we're not spewing a bunch of negative things. But it's almost like

91
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:17.200
when you're, if you go, like I live near a lot of trails, go hiking and like, so you go up to Lake

92
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:22.560
Tahoe or something and there's always a hiking trail. There's usually a sign. And then it usually

93
00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:30.320
says you are here. Right. And then you kind of map out. And that's a form of vision. Where am I now?

94
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:36.480
Where am I trying to get right? That's a, that's a form of what we looked at. And so if you remember

95
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:44.480
yesterday in the power hour, we looked at Habakkuk 2.2, which was about writing the vision

96
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:54.720
and making it plain. And we really talked about how God gives vision before fulfillment. He showed

97
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.840
Abraham the stars before he actually saw that many children. He showed

98
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.480
Oh, is this the promised land?

99
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.680
I've got great pictures of Mount Nebo,

100
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:06.480
what that looks like.

101
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.260
Okay, so Habakkuk was right division.

102
00:10:10.260 --> 00:10:15.260
So what we got yesterday is that God often reveals

103
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.000
the promise before the process.

104
00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:24.040
The first thing you're gonna see is the promise.

105
00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:29.040
You will most likely not know how to get there.

106
00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:32.860
You're going to see the big picture.

107
00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.840
And if it's a God vision, you're gonna be like,

108
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.840
how the heck can that happen?

109
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.920
Is that even possible?

110
00:10:38.920 --> 00:10:41.880
Can I, like, it'll feel, if it's God's size,

111
00:10:41.880 --> 00:10:44.600
it's gonna have that nature.

112
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.400
And so yesterday we talked about

113
00:10:46.400 --> 00:10:51.320
why do you think God gives vision before fulfillment?

114
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.160
Right, why?

115
00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:54.500
Why does the vision come first?

116
00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:59.120
And we saw the scripture that without vision,

117
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.040
the people perish.

118
00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:02.880
So when we don't have vision,

119
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:05.920
we get distracted and discouraged and detoured

120
00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:07.840
and all those kinds of things.

121
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.320
The more we keep the vision in front of us,

122
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.160
the more that we have that stick-to-iveness

123
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:18.580
and faith and certainty and walking it out,

124
00:11:18.580 --> 00:11:21.640
and we don't let it go.

125
00:11:21.640 --> 00:11:26.520
So today, as we move into this part,

126
00:11:26.520 --> 00:11:31.360
I wanna say that the problem for the Israelites,

127
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.520
let's take the metaphor of the promised land,

128
00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:35.940
because I believe it's a metaphor of our life,

129
00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:38.120
where God is taking us.

130
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.220
And he gives us a vision.

131
00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:45.220
There's a promised land for us in all ways of our life.

132
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.160
And there's a desert that we go through

133
00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:54.000
and different trials where we walk by faith and all of that.

134
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.660
So for Israel, the Israelites,

135
00:11:57.660 --> 00:12:02.400
the problem wasn't that they couldn't see the vision.

136
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.640
God really painted it.

137
00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:09.040
Like there's a land flowing with milk and honey.

138
00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:12.960
And like they knew there was a land that was theirs

139
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.480
and they were gonna inhabit it

140
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.360
and they were gonna build houses.

141
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.520
And they knew the vision.

142
00:12:18.520 --> 00:12:20.960
They'd been set free from slavery.

143
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.960
They knew the vision.

144
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:29.800
The problem was what happened after they knew the vision.

145
00:12:31.640 --> 00:12:34.720
It wasn't that they didn't know the vision.

146
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:36.400
It's what happened after.

147
00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:40.520
And the same is true for us, right?

148
00:12:40.520 --> 00:12:45.520
And so I want you to think about,

149
00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:50.000
they finally, they go through all the desert and all that,

150
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.800
and they finally get to the promised land

151
00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:55.340
and they send in 10 spies.

152
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.200
And they go in and they see it's what God said.

153
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.940
This is a land flowing with milk and honey.

154
00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:05.500
In fact, that description is astounding.

155
00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:08.760
And I've seen some of this in countries

156
00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:10.520
where they've given the land to God

157
00:13:10.520 --> 00:13:11.680
and this is still happening.

158
00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:13.040
There's some amazing miracles,

159
00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:16.640
but it says like for one cluster of grapes,

160
00:13:16.640 --> 00:13:18.160
they put it on a pole

161
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:20.680
and two people had to carry the grapes out,

162
00:13:20.680 --> 00:13:22.920
the size of the figs and the pomegranate.

163
00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:24.960
I mean, this truly was outstanding.

164
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.000
I mean, they're coming from meager slavery,

165
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.240
like eating the worst and starving.

166
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.080
And they're seeing that it takes two people

167
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:34.520
to carry a cluster of grapes.

168
00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:35.640
I mean, just think about that.

169
00:13:35.640 --> 00:13:37.600
That's a harvest, right?

170
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.360
And they come back to given a report

171
00:13:41.400 --> 00:13:44.840
and two were like so excited and said,

172
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.220
this is truly a land flowing with milk and honey.

173
00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:49.820
We are well able to take it.

174
00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:53.260
But 10 had a different report.

175
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.880
And you can read that report in numbers 1333,

176
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.840
if you ever wanna go read the story, numbers 13.

177
00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:11.960
So same land, same circumstances,

178
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.960
which is this is life, same environment.

179
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.240
10 saw obstacles, two saw opportunity.

180
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.880
This is true in life, okay?

181
00:14:25.880 --> 00:14:29.400
And I like in the Amplified Translation,

182
00:14:29.400 --> 00:14:31.300
there's something very telling.

183
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.520
In the Amplified Translation,

184
00:14:36.520 --> 00:14:39.320
there's something really telling.

185
00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:42.560
And I'm gonna read it to you.

186
00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:45.020
It talked about, there were giants.

187
00:14:45.020 --> 00:14:48.520
They saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak.

188
00:14:48.520 --> 00:14:50.780
There was giants in the land.

189
00:14:52.040 --> 00:14:57.040
And they said, we were like grasshoppers in our own sight.

190
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.000
And so, we were in their sight.

191
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.160
This is profound.

192
00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:13.520
We were like grasshoppers.

193
00:15:13.520 --> 00:15:19.300
These are men made in the image of God, have been walking with God, have seen the provision

194
00:15:19.300 --> 00:15:27.520
and miracles of God, and how did they see themselves?

195
00:15:27.520 --> 00:15:28.520
Watch that.

196
00:15:28.520 --> 00:15:32.520
In our own sight, we were like grasshoppers.

197
00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:43.880
Whoa, the way they saw themselves, and then it says, and so, we were in their sight.

198
00:15:43.880 --> 00:15:47.200
Yes, perspective based on fear.

199
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.240
That's where we're going, 100%, Stacey.

200
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:53.520
The way they saw themselves is the way the giants.

201
00:15:53.520 --> 00:15:54.520
Guess what?

202
00:15:54.760 --> 00:15:58.840
The way you see yourself, that's the way your clients see you.

203
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.520
The way you see yourself, that's the way.

204
00:16:01.520 --> 00:16:05.860
So this is why it's so important in the morning spiritual practice that you're getting anchored

205
00:16:05.860 --> 00:16:10.560
how to see yourself, that you see yourself the way that God sees you, right?

206
00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:13.360
So there was opportunity.

207
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.080
The issue wasn't the land.

208
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:21.680
The issue was what glasses they were looking through, the lens that they were looking with.

209
00:16:21.760 --> 00:16:29.800
So when we're talking about pressure, from pressure to partnership, pressure narrows

210
00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:37.880
our focus, contraction narrows our focus.

211
00:16:37.880 --> 00:16:43.720
Pressure magnifies the obstacles.

212
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.480
The obstacles appear bigger.

213
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.440
We talk about them.

214
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.040
We see them as mountains that are immovable.

215
00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:54.520
We just can't imagine it looks.

216
00:16:54.520 --> 00:16:57.440
We carry it into the future.

217
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.320
It's just huge and discouraging.

218
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.720
And pressure exaggerates the risk.

219
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.040
What's going to happen to me?

220
00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:14.920
And pressure causes us to forget what God has already done.

221
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:16.480
Forget the miracles.

222
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.760
Forget the promises.

223
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.200
Forget what God has been telling us.

224
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:28.680
And pressure makes the circumstances, the outside appear more real than the promises

225
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.760
of God.

226
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:41.320
So when we're talking about vision being distorted, when we're talking about vision being distorted,

227
00:17:41.320 --> 00:17:45.880
there's four common vision distorters.

228
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:47.400
Fear.

229
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:51.880
Fear will distort.

230
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.880
Disappointment.

231
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.880
Disappointment.

232
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:57.880
Delay.

233
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:04.360
Things just taking longer than we think they should.

234
00:18:04.360 --> 00:18:06.040
We saw that.

235
00:18:06.040 --> 00:18:07.720
We saw it so many times.

236
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:12.600
Abraham had this promise, but it was delayed.

237
00:18:12.600 --> 00:18:15.960
And things began to get distorted.

238
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:20.480
And Sarah needed to come up with a better plan than God's plan.

239
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.480
This is what I want you to do.

240
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.360
I want you to sleep with my concubine.

241
00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:30.760
And all the challenges that came from that contracted state, we better do something.

242
00:18:30.760 --> 00:18:34.120
We start reacting instead of responding.

243
00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:37.200
This is all the way cover to cover with scripture, right?

244
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:46.600
So things that distort the vision that God gives you, fear, disappointment, delay, pressure.

245
00:18:46.600 --> 00:18:55.760
So which one of these shows up most often for you?

246
00:18:55.760 --> 00:18:56.760
Which one of these?

247
00:18:56.760 --> 00:19:01.640
Do you have some things contracting your vision?

248
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:11.040
You take your eyes off that promise, that big picture.

249
00:19:11.040 --> 00:19:16.640
Which of those are showing up for you?

250
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.560
Sometimes the delay, sometimes the fear that leads to delay.

251
00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:21.560
Okay.

252
00:19:21.560 --> 00:19:22.560
Delay.

253
00:19:22.560 --> 00:19:23.560
A lot of you are saying delay.

254
00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:26.160
Understanding the timing of God.

255
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.960
And I think, yeah, pressure, then fear, then delay.

256
00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:38.520
I think that this society that we're in probably really exasperates this idea of delay.

257
00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:41.920
I mean, we are like a microwave society.

258
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.800
Like the microwave, I don't use microwaves, by the way, they're not in my house, but they

259
00:19:45.800 --> 00:19:51.600
can't go fast enough if you use them, right?

260
00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:53.280
And we're like that.

261
00:19:53.280 --> 00:19:57.840
Like our bandwidth on our computer has to keep getting faster and faster.

262
00:19:57.840 --> 00:19:59.760
Our cell phones have to get faster and faster.

263
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.720
chat GPT, like we can't wait for information

264
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.280
and reading and Googling or something coming in the mail.

265
00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:06.160
I need the answer.

266
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:06.980
I need it now.

267
00:20:06.980 --> 00:20:07.820
I need the solution.

268
00:20:07.820 --> 00:20:09.680
And so we're living in that.

269
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.440
And so now God's word that says,

270
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:15.580
well, no, I can't fulfill the word

271
00:20:15.580 --> 00:20:18.560
until I raise your capacity.

272
00:20:18.560 --> 00:20:20.840
And I can only raise your capacity

273
00:20:20.840 --> 00:20:22.700
at the speed you're willing

274
00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:26.680
to go through the capacity building process, right?

275
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:28.920
So these things take time.

276
00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:32.360
And we can get discouraged and say,

277
00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:34.080
it's never gonna happen.

278
00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:38.840
And so I like to explain in nature

279
00:20:38.840 --> 00:20:42.720
between seed time and harvest,

280
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.840
there's something called gestation period

281
00:20:45.840 --> 00:20:48.400
and different seeds have different gestation periods.

282
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.680
Some you plant them and boom,

283
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.000
it's like the next day, practically they're up there.

284
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.960
Some take like seven years.

285
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:58.240
Like I think it's the bamboo is at seven or 11 years before

286
00:20:58.280 --> 00:20:59.560
the gestation, you know,

287
00:20:59.560 --> 00:21:02.720
a baby can take six weeks in some animals

288
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.080
and nine months in us as human.

289
00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:06.960
And you don't see it at first

290
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:08.720
when that seed is under the ground,

291
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.880
things are happening, but we don't see it.

292
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.960
And the roots are going deep, but we don't see it.

293
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.800
And man, we wanna just dig up and go,

294
00:21:16.800 --> 00:21:18.840
this seed's not working and dig up the dirt

295
00:21:18.840 --> 00:21:21.100
and see what's going on under there, right?

296
00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:24.520
We've got this need for instant.

297
00:21:24.520 --> 00:21:28.400
Now, I really wanna go into some powerful application

298
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.740
of this, but I wanna lay a little foundation.

299
00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:32.920
I wasn't gonna do any teaching,

300
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.060
but several of you asked a very important question

301
00:21:36.060 --> 00:21:37.360
and it wasn't just one of you.

302
00:21:37.360 --> 00:21:39.100
So I thought this is important enough.

303
00:21:39.100 --> 00:21:41.160
I need to incorporate it.

304
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.960
It was not part of the study originally.

305
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.440
And I thought I really need to do that.

306
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.760
Some of you, when I talked about

307
00:21:49.760 --> 00:21:52.560
the morning spiritual practice,

308
00:21:52.560 --> 00:21:56.040
and I talked about hearing from God,

309
00:21:56.040 --> 00:21:59.240
and I talked about opening the journal

310
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.760
and writing my questions in pink,

311
00:22:01.760 --> 00:22:06.040
and then allowing God to write through me in purple.

312
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:07.200
And several of you said,

313
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.340
what about if I don't hear from God?

314
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:12.820
What if I'm not hearing from God?

315
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:15.920
And so we really need to address that.

316
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.280
Because it's several of you asking,

317
00:22:19.280 --> 00:22:22.040
it's not just one of you asking.

318
00:22:22.520 --> 00:22:24.320
So I wanna give a few keys.

319
00:22:24.320 --> 00:22:27.960
There's also a six-week series

320
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.200
in the Prosper Leader membership.

321
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:35.040
Now, I'm rearranging it to make it easier to use.

322
00:22:35.040 --> 00:22:38.860
But right now, it's going to be under partner with God

323
00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:39.700
in the future.

324
00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:43.640
But right now, when you go in the membership site,

325
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:45.320
and we're starting at the top,

326
00:22:45.320 --> 00:22:48.680
it's almost all the way at the bottom.

327
00:22:49.560 --> 00:22:52.460
There is, and I did this many years ago,

328
00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:55.920
and it might even only be auditory.

329
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.600
I did this many years ago,

330
00:22:57.600 --> 00:22:59.640
but I felt it was important enough to leave.

331
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.560
There's a six-part series on how to hear God's voice.

332
00:23:03.560 --> 00:23:07.000
So that also can be helpful for what we're talking about.

333
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.600
It's in your membership site.

334
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:15.160
So here's a few things I want you to think about.

335
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.560
Here's a few things I want you to think about, okay,

336
00:23:18.560 --> 00:23:19.500
as you do this.

337
00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:24.500
The first thing is when we're trying to change something

338
00:23:26.020 --> 00:23:29.660
or discern something or understand something,

339
00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:32.080
we have to know what the word says.

340
00:23:33.280 --> 00:23:37.520
So what does scripture say about hearing the voice of God?

341
00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:41.120
Because we've got to stand on the word.

342
00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:46.000
We're on safe ground if we're standing on the word.

343
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:50.600
And so John 10, 27,

344
00:23:50.600 --> 00:23:52.140
you could write some of these verses

345
00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:54.800
and do a study and pray into this.

346
00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:56.560
But John 10, 27 says,

347
00:23:56.560 --> 00:24:00.520
"'My sheep, hear my voice.

348
00:24:00.520 --> 00:24:02.520
"'I am the good shepherd, my sheep.'"

349
00:24:02.520 --> 00:24:07.080
So the idea is Jesus assumed we're gonna hear his voice.

350
00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:08.060
He's our shepherd.

351
00:24:08.060 --> 00:24:08.900
He leads us.

352
00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:09.720
He guides us.

353
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:12.120
He assumed that this is true.

354
00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:14.280
We're going to hear his voice.

355
00:24:14.280 --> 00:24:17.960
Hebrews 3, 15 says,

356
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:22.360
"'Today, if you hear his voice,

357
00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:26.040
"'do not harden your heart.'"

358
00:24:26.040 --> 00:24:31.040
So what we begin to see is that there is a response

359
00:24:31.780 --> 00:24:33.800
when we hear the voice.

360
00:24:33.800 --> 00:24:35.940
So we're gonna talk about that.

361
00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:39.240
There's also different ways that God speaks.

362
00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:41.800
I go through that in the Bible study.

363
00:24:41.800 --> 00:24:46.080
The word teaches in 1 Kings 19, 12.

364
00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:47.640
And I'm just going fast through this

365
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.900
because this is just a bonus here.

366
00:24:49.900 --> 00:24:53.840
1 Kings 19, 12, it talks about the different ways.

367
00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:55.240
And you weren't in the earthquake

368
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.480
and you weren't in the fire

369
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:58.280
and you weren't in the loud noise.

370
00:24:58.280 --> 00:25:00.280
Oh, you're in the fire.

371
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:12.480
still, small voice. So sometimes this is a very still, small voice. So if someone, if I'm here

372
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:24.240
and I'm talking very quietly, what do you need to do to be able to hear me?

373
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:34.720
There can't be lots of noise or you're not going to hear me inside or outside. So we have to understand that.

374
00:25:35.280 --> 00:25:43.440
Revelation 3 20, final book in the Bible, Jesus said, I'm standing at the door and knocking. If

375
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:53.920
anyone hears my voice, opens the door, I will come in. So we could go on and on. Jeremiah 33 3,

376
00:25:53.920 --> 00:26:03.120
call to me, I will answer you. I will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

377
00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:08.240
So we come on the biblical basis that God is speaking. He's speaking to us.

378
00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:14.880
We're called to be in relationship. We're meant to hear his voice. Number one, we got to start

379
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:22.720
with that foundation and believe it, this is not taught in churches. I had been in church since I

380
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:32.000
was 17. I did not discover this until I actually read a Joyce Meyers book when I was almost 50,

381
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.280
how to hear the voice of God. I didn't even know you could hear the voice of God. So part of it is

382
00:26:37.280 --> 00:26:42.960
we just didn't know that we weren't taught that we weren't trained that we didn't expect it. Okay,

383
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:49.920
so you got to get that word in you to know that. Then second, like what we're talking about with

384
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:55.520
pressure, what is it that keeps us from hearing the word of God? If you go, I'm not hearing,

385
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:05.840
what is it? Right? And scripture gives in in all of the gospels, but let's take Luke eight,

386
00:27:05.840 --> 00:27:13.200
it's in all four gospels, the parable of the sower and the seeds, and the seeds are going

387
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:20.880
into different types of soil and having different results. And when they didn't understand, the

388
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:24.960
disciples said, what are you talking about? Jesus said, the seed is my word.

389
00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:31.600
So there's different ways that we receive the word. And so there's the hardened path

390
00:27:32.560 --> 00:27:40.480
that it just never gets in and the birds just come and steal it right away. Okay. There is

391
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:48.000
the rock that it does start to take root, but there are, it does not develop a root system.

392
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:54.880
So then the sun comes and scorches it. And the scripture says the trials, the tests come

393
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:01.120
and the tests just become bigger than the voice of God. And then this is probably one of the biggest

394
00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:09.600
in our society right now, which is Luke eight 14. So the path was Luke eight 12. The rock was eight

395
00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:21.600
13. The thorns are Luke eight 14. And it says they hear. So they did hear it said, but life's cares,

396
00:28:24.080 --> 00:28:28.880
the cares of life, we could call that the pressures of life

397
00:28:29.760 --> 00:28:41.840
or riches, money, or the love of pleasure. And it goes through this list, actually chokes.

398
00:28:43.040 --> 00:28:54.320
The thorns just choke the word, and then there's good soil. And so you start to say,

399
00:28:55.280 --> 00:29:02.800
what is, if God is always speaking, Lord, show me what's keeping me from hearing your voice.

400
00:29:02.800 --> 00:29:08.400
Is it the cares of life? I'm far more worried about how I'm going to pay my rent. I'm far more

401
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:14.080
worried about, you know, the cares of life, or I just want to enjoy life. I don't have time to be

402
00:29:14.080 --> 00:29:20.080
reading and thinking about this, or I just need to make money. Or I just like, what is it that is,

403
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:29.040
that is, or is it just that life is so noisy? And so you can't discern the still small voice.

404
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:35.520
Okay, so number one, know the word number two, start looking at what kind of soil I am and

405
00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:43.120
asking God to soften my soil, which is my heart that the word can go deep in. And number three,

406
00:29:43.120 --> 00:29:49.920
which I think is huge, which is the level of expectation that we have about hearing the word

407
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:56.160
of God. Do you already just go into it? Well, not me. This is not for me. I just don't hear,

408
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:59.920
God's just not speaking to me. Or you hear a little something.

409
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.540
and you think, yeah, but that could never be me, right?

410
00:30:02.540 --> 00:30:05.080
So it never has chance to take root

411
00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:07.440
because we don't expect.

412
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:10.940
And so in Psalms, I think it's 5.3,

413
00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:13.660
says in the morning, there's the morning practice again.

414
00:30:13.660 --> 00:30:18.660
In the morning, David said, I lay my requests out.

415
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:24.440
I ask my questions and I wait expectantly.

416
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:29.180
So when I first learned to do the pen, it was awkward

417
00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:31.280
and not much came out.

418
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.300
This was a practice, but I had expectation.

419
00:30:37.300 --> 00:30:40.080
God, you said you're gonna talk to me.

420
00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:42.200
I'm gonna stand on your word that you're gonna speak

421
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:44.480
and I opened myself to hear.

422
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.120
And whatever's blocking, I asked that you remove it.

423
00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:50.640
I come in expectation, okay?

424
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:53.460
Now what's interesting, I didn't even know this one.

425
00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:56.320
We've been studying Habakkuk 2.2

426
00:30:56.320 --> 00:30:58.920
about right division and make it plain.

427
00:30:59.660 --> 00:31:01.780
What surprised me was Habakkuk 2.1.

428
00:31:01.780 --> 00:31:04.320
What came before 2.2?

429
00:31:04.320 --> 00:31:07.860
I missed this until you guys asked the question

430
00:31:07.860 --> 00:31:09.600
that I went back to it.

431
00:31:09.600 --> 00:31:14.600
It says, Habakkuk says, I will stand at my watch.

432
00:31:16.860 --> 00:31:19.300
I will stand at my watch.

433
00:31:19.300 --> 00:31:23.580
I will look, what are they watching?

434
00:31:23.580 --> 00:31:28.420
I will look to see, what do I wanna see?

435
00:31:29.020 --> 00:31:32.140
What he will say to me.

436
00:31:32.140 --> 00:31:34.620
I'm gonna stand, watch, I'm looking,

437
00:31:34.620 --> 00:31:38.100
I'm expecting that God is going to speak.

438
00:31:38.100 --> 00:31:39.820
I'm trusting that he speaks.

439
00:31:39.820 --> 00:31:41.420
He said he was gonna speak.

440
00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:44.700
He keeps his word and I'm gonna stand.

441
00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:50.020
I'm gonna be still and know that he is God.

442
00:31:50.020 --> 00:31:51.460
And then it's different for you.

443
00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:53.820
Some might be this pen exercise.

444
00:31:53.820 --> 00:31:56.120
Others might be like, Stacy, it's a prayer walk.

445
00:31:56.120 --> 00:31:58.660
I do a mixture of both of those, okay?

446
00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:02.900
It comes in different ways, all right?

447
00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:05.420
Some might come out through music or poetry.

448
00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:08.100
Some might, like God, we're all different, okay?

449
00:32:08.100 --> 00:32:10.820
We don't have to be clones here.

450
00:32:10.820 --> 00:32:15.820
Psalms 85.8 says, I will listen with expectancy

451
00:32:18.860 --> 00:32:23.380
to what God will say.

452
00:32:23.380 --> 00:32:25.860
Most of these are in the amplified translation.

453
00:32:25.860 --> 00:32:27.140
You really get a rich.

454
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.880
Okay, so that being said,

455
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:33.960
now let's do a little deepening.

456
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:37.360
Let's do a little application, okay?

457
00:32:37.360 --> 00:32:41.000
And so let's do some journaling

458
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:45.960
and some journal prompts right here, right now, okay?

459
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.880
So let's just start by putting our feet on the ground

460
00:32:50.020 --> 00:32:54.400
and let's do some deep breathing.

461
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.540
Let's do the Yahweh breathing,

462
00:32:56.540 --> 00:33:00.760
that we breathe into yah and we breathe out to way.

463
00:33:00.760 --> 00:33:03.640
And in order to settle our nervous system,

464
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:07.880
we breathe out longer than we breathe in, right?

465
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.920
So let's just do that as we just invite God's presence.

466
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:12.920
Just say, yah, way, together.

467
00:33:24.520 --> 00:33:25.360
Yahweh.

468
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:33.080
Fill your lungs with his spirit, yah.

469
00:33:36.040 --> 00:33:36.880
Hold.

470
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.480
Let it all out, way.

471
00:33:47.360 --> 00:33:49.680
One more time, yah.

472
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:56.240
Way.

473
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:05.440
How many of you can already feel shift just doing that?

474
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.719
That can be part of your morning spiritual practice

475
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.460
right there, breathing the breath of God.

476
00:34:14.600 --> 00:34:17.480
Okay, take out your journal

477
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:23.440
and I want you to, first of all, answer the question.

478
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:28.179
If I look back, I think back,

479
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:34.360
what has God shown me that I have stopped expecting?

480
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:44.639
What has God shown me that I have stopped expecting?

481
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:58.560
What has God shown me that I have stopped expecting?

482
00:34:58.560 --> 00:35:00.460
And Holy Spirit, I just pray that you.

483
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.200
Open our spiritual senses to hear what you're saying today. Have your way.

484
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:12.720
Have your way, Lord. Show us, Lord. Show us.

485
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.120
We just invite you to speak, Lord.

486
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:22.080
Remind us.

487
00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:24.960
Remind us.

488
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:39.040
What has God shown me that I have stopped expecting?

489
00:35:39.040 --> 00:35:57.280
Often, it'll center around a vision about your future. It might just be a flash.

490
00:35:58.240 --> 00:36:06.000
I saw myself speaking in large crowds. I saw myself in the mission field. I saw myself feeding.

491
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:17.200
I saw myself in the home. I saw myself teaching. It could have been a dream, prophetic word.

492
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.680
But then sometimes, like, nah, that can't be.

493
00:36:27.040 --> 00:36:35.280
What has God shown me? I've stopped expecting. We talked about the expectancy word. I've stopped

494
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:44.000
expecting. Did I stop expecting miracles? Did I stop expecting that he was going to

495
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:51.200
show me or bring people or resources? What did I stop expecting? And to go with that,

496
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:59.520
what giants have become larger than the promise?

497
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:10.800
What giants have become larger than the promise? Is it debt? Is it money? Is it a belief about your

498
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:19.520
age? Is it your health? Is it your belief that you can't do tech? Is it your belief around time? Is

499
00:37:19.520 --> 00:37:39.760
it your confidence? What giants have become larger than the promise?

500
00:37:49.760 --> 00:38:04.080
I have people tell me that they think they're too old and they're in their 60s or maybe 70, and

501
00:38:04.720 --> 00:38:11.280
I show them all the things that happen with 80-year-olds in the world, all the inventions

502
00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:18.800
and brilliance and amazing things. I have people tell me that they just don't have the money for

503
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:25.760
the invention, and I show them miracles of provision. What is it? What are the giants

504
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:31.120
that have become larger? And your mind became larger than the promise.

505
00:38:36.560 --> 00:38:42.240
And when you've done that one, and let me make sure I'm not going so fast, put done in the chat.

506
00:38:42.240 --> 00:38:48.640
If you need more time, put time. I don't want to rush you, nor do I want you waiting. So put done

507
00:38:48.640 --> 00:38:54.880
or put time if you need more time.

508
00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:10.560
Okay, next.

509
00:39:11.040 --> 00:39:20.160
If disappointment, which is a really fascinating word we'll talk about sometime, if disappointment,

510
00:39:21.600 --> 00:39:29.600
fear, and pressure were removed, if we didn't have fear, if we didn't have pressure, if we didn't

511
00:39:29.600 --> 00:39:37.360
have disappointment, if disappointment, fear, and pressure were removed, what would I dare

512
00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:50.320
to believe again? If disappointment, fear, and pressure were removed, what would I dare to believe

513
00:39:52.320 --> 00:40:04.320
again?

514

636
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.000
.

637
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.320
and describe exactly. I have a ponytail and I'm running, make sure I see my face

638
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:12.360
and like print that out because it's what we do with the vision. By beholding

639
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:17.440
we're changed and we don't speak anything against it. We don't say it's

640
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:23.520
impossible. It's like God showed it. I'm gonna keep looking at that and it's very

641
00:45:23.520 --> 00:45:28.720
powerful. So any of you that are willing to really play this, you're gonna see. I

642
00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:34.040
told you some of mine. I remember the first time I started doing this and God

643
00:45:34.040 --> 00:45:39.640
teaches. I remember I was just cutting out of a magazine and there was a jacket

644
00:45:39.640 --> 00:45:45.480
that I loved. It was this gold metallic jacket and I just loved it and I don't

645
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:49.280
know why I put this woman in this gold jacket but I just love that. It

646
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:53.760
goes on my vision board and literally I don't remember how long, a week, a few

647
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:58.840
days, I was rushing through. It was like a place like Ross or something and I was

648
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:02.880
looking for a baby shower gift. I was going straight back to the baby section

649
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:09.120
to get a baby shower gift and that jacket wasn't hanging on the racks. It

650
00:46:09.120 --> 00:46:16.840
was just sitting out of place on a end cap and I'm like whoa I recognize that.

651
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:23.040
I've been looking at that. I try it on. It's my size. I buy it. Okay love that. I

652
00:46:23.040 --> 00:46:28.560
could tell you story after story. God has made us that way. So that's the first

653
00:46:28.560 --> 00:46:33.400
thing I would say Christine because I think and then go deeper. Say Holy Spirit

654
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:39.000
why are you revealing? What's in this? Tell me even more about this Lord. Why do

655
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:43.740
you keep showing me this? What is this? What do you want me to do with this? You

656
00:46:43.740 --> 00:46:48.720
know the Bible talks about they stored it in their heart. Good. Anybody else?

657
00:46:48.720 --> 00:46:53.840
Thank you for sharing that Christine. Anyone else? And I want to hear as we

658
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:57.600
progress over the 12 weeks what happens for you guys. We're gonna have miracles

659
00:46:57.600 --> 00:47:01.280
in this room. We're gonna have signs and wonders. We're gonna have transformation.

660
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:07.240
I'm absolutely convinced. I've done this a long time. God's gonna move. So you take

661
00:47:07.240 --> 00:47:11.840
the time to do that Christine. I can't wait to see what begins to change. Okay

662
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:19.440
who else? Who else? What came up for you?

663
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:26.760
Well it started yesterday when you talked about the vision board and and so

664
00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:31.360
I have one I created in the beginning of the year and my vision statement and

665
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:36.120
this morning he really was telling me I want you to it's I mean it's out but

666
00:47:36.120 --> 00:47:41.800
it's under my bedroom floor up against my closet. I mean I can still see it but

667
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:48.080
he's like I want you to bring that back out again while you're having time with

668
00:47:48.080 --> 00:47:52.560
me. Nice. And so when you're sharing that again and with Christine I just thought

669
00:47:52.560 --> 00:47:56.520
that was really interesting and then and I have it up here on our fireplace

670
00:47:56.520 --> 00:48:01.440
mantel as our as we're having our meeting time together. Nice. And I'm like

671
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:05.760
when she's sharing I'm like weeping a little bit and I'm like ah that's

672
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:12.200
beautiful. Yeah and any of you like some of you been around a while like Linda

673
00:48:12.200 --> 00:48:18.280
and stuff like that I've done many vision board. I have a way of doing it

674
00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:23.600
and maybe we'll do it sometime but I believe in it having life like I don't

675
00:48:23.600 --> 00:48:30.400
glue the pictures on. I use cork board and pins and I move it around I add more

676
00:48:30.560 --> 00:48:36.960
I rearrange it it becomes a living breathing thing in my life and but

677
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:43.600
giving it a place of prominence again what role does God's vision like just

678
00:48:43.600 --> 00:48:47.640
think about that how important it is that to keep God's vision in front of

679
00:48:47.640 --> 00:48:52.480
you at all times like we talked about what that does for perseverance what

680
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:58.840
that does right and you know for a second it reminded me like when I heard

681
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:02.600
it's just on the floor like my heart just sank just a little bit and it's

682
00:49:02.600 --> 00:49:09.280
it's not judgment um I I read it immediately went to a story and it was a

683
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:15.480
friend of mine that was in a really tough marriage and the woman just did

684
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:20.720
not value anything that he did and he's a very gifted talented artist

685
00:49:20.720 --> 00:49:26.520
incredible artist and he had done a portrait of her and he had gifted it to

686
00:49:26.520 --> 00:49:35.760
her at their wedding and um you know it's meaningful and it just stayed in a

687
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:40.600
corner on the floor she never put it up I think it might not have even been

688
00:49:40.600 --> 00:49:46.040
facing forward and the way that devastated him and I think about how God

689
00:49:46.040 --> 00:49:51.000
would feel he gives you this vision and then we don't even treat it seriously he

690
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:55.520
gives us a word and it ends up like in a closet it ends up on the back of a

691
00:49:55.520 --> 00:50:02.200
journal that we never open this is this is your beloved

692
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.160
Right? Yeah. And he's, he's, he's given you a gift. The

693
00:50:05.160 --> 00:50:06.960
vision is a gift. Yeah.

694
00:50:07.560 --> 00:50:10.600
I mean, it's up against the closet. I still look at it, but

695
00:50:10.600 --> 00:50:15.080
I'm not treating it like I did in the beginning. And I'm not

696
00:50:15.080 --> 00:50:18.240
taking it to my table when I'm having God time. I'm not taking

697
00:50:18.240 --> 00:50:21.480
it to my table when I was writing like I used to with my

698
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:25.720
lavender lemon candle lit. Yeah, I mean, that's how I usher in

699
00:50:25.720 --> 00:50:28.200
his presence. And he meets me there.

700
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:33.640
I love it. God's calling you back. And I'm so good. So good.

701
00:50:33.680 --> 00:50:36.200
Oh my goodness. I have so much I want to share. And we've got

702
00:50:36.200 --> 00:50:39.960
office hours here in a few minutes. Oh my goodness. All

703
00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:44.720
right. I want to do one declaration you guys. Um, let's

704
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:49.720
I'm going to go in after I'm going to go into the Facebook

705
00:50:49.720 --> 00:50:53.520
page, the total soul prosperity Facebook group. And I'm going

706
00:50:53.520 --> 00:50:56.760
to put a question and talk about what we did. Can you come in and

707
00:50:56.760 --> 00:50:59.200
do some more comments? Let's keep this conversation because I

708
00:50:59.200 --> 00:51:02.280
really want to hear this and I want to bring life to it. Okay.

709
00:51:02.520 --> 00:51:05.760
So I will make sure that by the end of the day, I've got that up

710
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:09.640
there. And so if you're not yet a member of the Facebook group,

711
00:51:09.640 --> 00:51:14.240
total soul prosperity, be sure you are. And so I want to do one

712
00:51:14.240 --> 00:51:21.920
declaration, which is complete this sentence, I choose to see

713
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:31.320
blank instead of blank. So for example, I choose to see

714
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:37.800
provision instead of lack. This is where we activate our God

715
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:42.960
given ability to choose. All of this we get to choose. I choose

716
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:53.240
to see possibility instead of limitation. I choose to see

717
00:51:53.840 --> 00:52:06.960
partnership instead of pressure. I choose to see promise instead

718
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:20.080
of circumstances. And so, Lord, I am just asking right now, in

719
00:52:20.080 --> 00:52:28.760
the mighty name of Jesus, for restored vision. Restore our

720
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:33.760
vision, Lord God, bring it front and center. May we treasure it.

721
00:52:34.680 --> 00:52:43.880
Expand our vision, Lord. Let us see the vision that you have.

722
00:52:44.120 --> 00:52:47.400
When you created our eye print and our fingerprint and you gave

723
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:52.280
us a divine design and a divine purpose, and you had a vision

724
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:57.400
for our life, Jeremiah, before we were even born, you knew us.

725
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:02.240
We're open Lord open our spiritual senses to to see and

726
00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:07.600
and expand that vision. Father God, I pray that you'll renew

727
00:53:07.600 --> 00:53:13.600
expectation that you'll give us fresh expectation, fresh

728
00:53:13.600 --> 00:53:21.400
expectation, fresh expectation, the courage to dream again to

729
00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:28.400
dream with you. I pray you give us the courage to dream again. I

730
00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:33.280
pray you give us freedom from disappointment. Freedom from

731
00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:37.480
disappointment, freedom from the fear of being hurt, the fear of

732
00:53:37.720 --> 00:53:47.240
a failing eyes to see what God sees. And so again, every

733
00:53:47.240 --> 00:53:52.800
morning you're asking now, Lord, what are you showing me and you

734
00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:58.400
write one sentence and we talk about it next week. Lord, what

735
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:05.520
are you showing me? What are you showing me? I'm so excited as

736
00:54:05.520 --> 00:54:11.080
God reveals his vision for you. I'm so excited as you put that

737
00:54:11.080 --> 00:54:15.160
front and center. I know what happens. I've watched enough

738
00:54:15.160 --> 00:54:20.840
years what happens when you do this. When you come from a place

739
00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:25.640
of faith and expectancy that I don't know how you can say that

740
00:54:25.640 --> 00:54:29.280
I don't know how this vision is going to happen. I have no clue

741
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:34.160
how, but you've put this in my heart. I stand on your word. I

742
00:54:34.160 --> 00:54:40.000
wait in expectancy. And we start walking in this place of

743
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:48.120
certainty. And we're not moved by the giants in the land. So

744
00:54:48.120 --> 00:54:51.120
excited. I cannot wait. We're going to continue this

745
00:54:51.120 --> 00:54:56.120
conversation over in Total Soul Prosperity Facebook group. And

746
00:54:56.120 --> 00:54:59.120
I'm so excited to spend this time with all of you. Thank you

747
00:54:59.120 --> 00:55:00.080
for participating.

748
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.060
and being in my life, in each other's life,

749
00:55:04.060 --> 00:55:06.360
allowing God to work in your life.

750
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:07.800
I'm just thrilled.

751
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:10.760
And we're gonna move into office hours.

752
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:12.720
Gonna stop the recording here.

753
00:55:12.720 --> 00:55:16.420
And that's where we're going to jump into

754
00:55:16.420 --> 00:55:19.640
applying this to your actual business, okay?

755
00:55:19.640 --> 00:55:21.840
So how fun is that?

756
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:25.520
All right, see you over in office hours.
