Guys, hi, good morning. I am so sorry I am so late for this live. I haven't even really
given you guys a second to get online, but you guys have been waiting for me for... I
can't see the time right now because I've just gone live, but I'm pretty sure I'm like
20 minutes late, so anyway. Whoa, sorry, I'm so late. I'm in my caravan right now and Renee's...
we've got some... looking after a friend's daughter in a second, and so that's all going
to go down in my house. I'm here in my little caravan. I want to say welcome. Thanks for
tuning in live. Feel free to drop a comment, just saying kia ora, saying g'day, and that
way I can see who's watching. Oh wow, so this is, guys, this is the final live, the final
wrap-up for the 21 days, the School of Sonship, sorry, the School of the Spirit 21-day activation.
And on this live, I'm going to debrief the activation. I'm also going to share around
what's coming up next. There's two opportunities that are coming up next, and you may be interested
in those. That's going to be going to be really cool, and yeah, so that's what we're going
to be doing, and I'm also... I just realized I got in the caravan now. I'm really sorry.
I'll explain what happened in a second, but I'm also going to do another live straight
after this, giving feedback on one of the activations around a word of knowledge for
an injury that one of my family members had, and I realized I haven't given you the proper
feedback on that yet, so I'm going to give you some feedback on that, but I'm going to
do that when I can see the comments on a screen next to me, which I can't do that on the screen
because I'm on live. So guys, I was all planned to come this morning, just to give a few people
a few more seconds to jump on the live. I was all planned. Everything was going according
to clockwork, and it was perfect. I'm selling a car, so I dropped my car that I'm trying
to sell off at the... I'm getting it ready to sell at the car cleaner place. They do
this epic job just making it look brand new, and I dropped my car off there thinking, oh,
I'm just going to jog back to my house, which is probably two Ks, and I thought that would
be a nice easy little mission, and I gave myself 15 minutes to do that, and then I realized
two things. First thing, the first revelation I had was that I had just run. Now, this is
a big long story in and of itself. I'm going to get into the whole debrief in a second,
but just to explain. I just ran two days ago. I ran half a marathon, which for some of you
is probably not that long, but for me, that was a really long run, and it was a very mountainous
up and down kind of a run, and actually felt real good after it, but I went surfing yesterday,
and because of the strain on my calf muscle, my lower calf on my left side, oh my gosh,
I've done something to it, and I thought I'll do this quick jog back, and about 30 seconds
into the jog, I realized, far out, I'm going to injure myself if I go fast like this. I'm
going to have to hobble back, so I've been hobbling back home in actually a little bit
of pain, and then the second thing I realized is I'm in Tairua, where everybody knows everybody,
and where you can't walk down the main road of Tairua without seeing a hundred people
that you know, and so me being me, I always feel rude just ignoring people, so I just
ended up saying hi to a few people, and then the conversation started, and I tried to cut
them short. I cut them as short as I possibly could, and it landed me 20 minutes late, so
I'm just going to have a cup of coffee with you guys now. Cheers.
And feel free to drop a prayer on the comments, praying for my left lower leg, and that would
be very much appreciated.
So guys, first of all, I want to say thank you so much to those of you who are live right
now, or maybe you're tuned in later, on the replay.
And thank you so much for those of you who have done the 21-day School of the Spirit
activation.
I wanted to give you an opportunity, I want to give some feedback on the school and on
the activation.
And I also want to give you guys an opportunity to give your own feedback.
So feel free, and please, I'm really welcome and actually asking you for feedback, both
positive and constructive.
And feel free to drop that on this live here, in the comments.
If you're uncomfortable to do it so everyone can see it, you can drop me a private message.
But I'm comfortable for everyone to see your feedback, and I trust that you guys will seem
like very honoring people, and love the constructive feedback and the encouraging feedback as well.
So please feel free to drop that on here.
My intention was to organize a Zoom live for this, and I'm really sorry, one of the bits
of feedback for me is, I'm going to work on for the next one that we do, which I'll sort
of briefly introduce later, for the next sort of event that we do like this, I'm going
to work on improving both the communication and the structure of how the communication
is presented.
So I felt like, especially in the 21-day activation, that some of the activations were getting
lost, and weren't being seen, or were kind of flying under the radar of people's social
media algorithms or whatever it might be.
And so I was trying to get around that and figure out how to figure that one out.
And it probably just was going to take a little bit more careful planning by me and some problem
solving with Benji and the crew at the behind the scenes there.
So my intention is to do that for the next one.
I felt like I could have done a better job at that, so I apologize for that.
And the other thing is, it's a little bit more of a thing, me interjecting Zoom into
the Facebook live.
Now, my mind, I'm not the technical guy really, so I don't actually understand exactly what
I need to do.
But hey, that's cool Zella, thanks for tuning in, and thanks for the comment.
It's a little bit over my head, so I really didn't realize what was involved there.
So for the next one, my goal is to sort of set myself up a little bit better to be able
to do some Zooms and stuff like that.
I thought that would be a much cooler idea.
And I apologize, I just timed and allowed for all of that stuff to fall into place before
this one.
So yeah, so that's two little bits of my feedback.
But overall, I want to say, I thoroughly enjoyed teaching you for the three days.
Hi Annette, from South Africa.
I'm trying to think of some Afrikaans for you.
All I can think of is, bye lekker.
What's some other Afrikaans?
Man, I, just so you know, Annette, boerervoos is some of my favorite food.
I love South Africa, and I'm actually really wanting to come to South Africa one day, to
hang out with the amazing South, I've got a lot of South African friends.
And also to surf Jay Bay, I really want to surf Jay Bay one day.
Hey, just looking at some of these comments.
Thank you for your comments, guys.
Yes, I had trouble finding Lorraine activations and sometimes found late in the day.
Also some activations got posted to Guide19, but not all of them.
Yeah, thanks, Annette. Yeah, there was some, there was actually some miscommunication there
behind the scenes. So, yeah, sorry, sorry. We're just trying to iron out some of those
wrinkles and thanks for being forgiving. Thank you. Yeah, but I just wanted to honor you
and say thank you for giving me the time to teach and to give you those activations.
Also, I just want to say as well that thank you for those of you who did the activations.
The way that this 21-day activation works and the whole purpose of it is, and I kind of,
um, I'm, hi, Misa, sorry if I said that wrong from the UK. Thanks for your comment.
The goal of this 21-day activation and the way it worked in was the three-day School of the Spirit
was the three-day School of the Spirit, and I mentioned this in the three-day School of
the Spirit, was kind of like if I was teaching you how to surf, the three-day School of the
Spirit was me, um, paddling you out the back saying, hey, grab onto my leg rope and I'll get
you out there where you need to be so that you can catch a wave. And then once we got out there,
that's a 21-day School of, um, 21-day activation that we're debriefing now. That was like being
out the back where, where you can actually catch a wave, and there you are right there,
and that's me pushing you. Sometimes your paddle strength when you're learning how to surf isn't
enough to meet the momentum of the oncoming wave, and, um, when I teach people, and when I've just
been teaching my daughters how to surf, you know, my job is to say, paddle, paddle, paddle, but then
I push them as well and, um, and help them get the speed and the momentum that they need to get onto
the wave, and that is this 21-day activation. There's a little bit of a push onto the wave of
the Spirit, and the way it, um, really the only way it works is with your guys' interaction and
involvement, and one of the things I have found over the years of my, um, time ministering in
churches and conferences all over the world is, um, is there seems to be a culture in Christianity,
and this is not a criticism of Christianity, or I mean, obviously I love Christianity.
I've given my life to Jesus, um, and so, and I love the church, and I love conferences,
I love all that stuff, but one of the things I have found that's been a difficult one to overcome
is there seemed, and, you know, I don't, I'm, you know, I'm not, there's no, I'm not pointing
the finger at anyone in particular with this, but in the conference kind of culture is, like,
you have this teaching time, and there's teaching, and there's ministry, and maybe some prophetic
words, and the healing, and it's, um, a lot of emphasis is on the person doing the teaching,
and person doing the praying, and, um, and there seems to be a little bit of sometimes a consumer
mentality of, like, just give me, give me, give me, and what I've often tried to do at conferences
and things like that is give people, like, homework, give people activations that they can take home
and do, because the most important part of any conference or teaching that you engage with that
connects with your heart, that you feel the Spirit on, is your personal stewardship of what God gives
you, of the seed that God plants in your heart after that time, and so the 21-day activation was
really me, my attempt at saying, hey, here's three days of teaching that I think is really, really
important, and, um, hey, Janice from New York, you, um, here's my teaching, I, I, I think it's really
important, and the 21 days is, here's an opportunity for you to steward some of the stuff that, that
I've tried to impart to you by the Spirit in the three-day school. Really the only way it works is
if you engage in it and actually do it, and I made it challenging on purpose, and for some of you it
would have been very challenging, for others of you maybe not challenging at all, but I tried to
put, like, a medium-level challenge in there, um, and I noticed that some, you know, some people kind
of interacted, some people didn't interact with it at all, which is fine, others interacted with it
bits and pieces, like, hey, I think I'll do that activation, but not that one, and possibly a few
of you did all the activations, or are planning to catch up and do the activations. The kind of way
it works is you're kind of all-in or not, um, and sorry if that sounds a little bit blunt, um,
I should say.
To get the most out of it, you're all in or not. You can be partially in and maybe get something out of it.
And God bless you if that's you. And thanks for engaging in all the parts that you engaged in.
But the way that you get the most out of this activation is by just saying,
I'm in and I'm up for it. And for this next 21 days, I'm doing the stuff.
This is this, by the way, is not a rebuke. This is just some feedback.
So if you found yourself, if you're like, I really wanted to get more out of this,
but you've only kind of partially engaged in the activation,
my encouragement to you is to go back, look at the activations that you haven't done,
and give them your all for the next however many days you missed.
Maybe you missed four days or five days.
Just take five days and finish this activation off and give it a good fair crack.
And that's kind of how you do it. Just to give you a story,
I remember a moment that sort of reminds me of this in a way.
It was at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in California.
We were there. It was our first week there. Maybe it was our first day, in fact.
And one of my leaders, the school is broken up into little groups of like 70 people per group.
And I was in a group and my leader was Jason Vallotton, who some of you know Chris Vallotton.
So it's Chris Vallotton's son, Jason, who's a friend of ours and an absolute legend.
He got us all together and he started saying,
I want you to prophesy. He was giving these prophetic activations.
And he was saying, let's get someone in the middle and you prophesy over them.
And he wasn't saying who wants to prophesy. He was saying, pointing people out, you prophesy.
And he was giving feedback. It was scary in front of 70 people
and half the people had never given a prophetic word ever in their lives
or maybe didn't even know what a prophetic word was.
But there was no sort of choice. It was like he was pushing you onto the wave and you're on.
And then he stepped it up a level and he pointed to a guy and he said,
I want you to give a prophetic word, but I want you to sing the whole word in front of 70 people.
This guy's not a singer. And the guy said, no, no, no.
He said, yeah, yeah, we'll wait for you. And it seemed super intense.
And we're like, whoa, whoa, please don't point at me next.
And no one knew anyone at this, you know, we're just all trying to get to know one another.
And he's like, sing the word. And the guy's like, no, I get with him for like 10 minutes.
And it was getting really awkward. And Jason just sat there and said, well, it's okay.
We'll just wait for you. And the guy gave up in the end.
And he started, he sang like the first two words of his prophetic word.
And then he spoke the rest. And Jason said to him, man, that was such a great word.
I want you to give it again this time, but I want you to sing the whole thing.
And the guy was like, no! He was getting so mad at Jason.
And Jason was just like, no, no. He was just gently firm with the guy.
And the guy ended up singing the whole word, totally off note and not a very good voice.
We all just encouraged him, applauded him.
And the person that received the word was just impacted by the word.
And the debrief, I think it was either partway through the year or at the end of the year,
the debrief, when that guy, when Jason asked all of us, what impacted you in the year?
The guy said, that moment where I was so angry at you that you made me sing.
But I realized in signing up for the school, I'd given you permission to do that.
And that was part of signing up for the school,
is an acknowledgement I'm going to allow my leaders to push me onto the wave, as it were.
Not in that language, but in a different language.
And he said that moment was the single most transformative moment
in definitely this year, possibly my whole life.
A spirit of fear broke off me in that time.
And I have been free to boldly pursue God and the move of the Spirit since that time.
And I just wanted to share that story with you.
Because sometimes when you're on the,
sometimes when you allow yourself to be pushed onto something,
and you allow that kind of leadership in your life.
And, you know, in this situation, that will be me leading you.
And I do want to say authentically and from the depth of my heart,
thank you for giving me that place over this time.
When you allow yourself to be led in that way,
and you open yourself up and just say,
God, I just, I'm in. I am in. It can feel scary and it can feel challenging, but if
you don't back down from that, there can be a real freedom, impartation, and empowerment
on the other side of that. And so, that's my encouragement to you, is if you haven't
finished off the activations, consider finishing those off. No judgment on you if you don't.
Absolutely not at all, but consider doing it. Like I said, there was a bit of backstage
confusion over putting the activations in the guide. I'm going to do that today, put
them in the guide. It'll probably be later on in the day. I'm going to put them in the
guide so that they're all in one place and you can go to that guide and look at the activations.
For now, there'll be some of the activations on the guide and there'll be some that are
just on the timeline. And it's kind of frustrating me a little bit, to be honest. I was putting
activations up on the timeline and because some had more interaction than others, like
ones that were like four days old were ahead of ones that were brand new on the timeline
when you looked at the Facebook group. And so, I was like, how do you get around this?
But anyway, Facebook algorithms are just not always your friend. So, please forgive
me for that. But I'll put them in the guide so that you can go back and you can look back
on those. And so, that's cool. Guys, what's coming next is, and thank you for your comments,
and please, as I'm speaking, feel free to drop any comments, any feedback, or any suggestions,
any questions, anything like that. I'd love to interact with you. And I'm just reading
some of the comments now. So, thank you for those. As you're thinking about how you're
going to frame your comment, we've got some stuff coming up. So, the next thing that is
coming up, and I'll drop a post on this in the coming days, but this is just to give
you a VIP heads up for what's coming so that you can get in ahead of anyone else if that's
what you'd like, is I decided that, and this is really coming from a place of, I really
don't want to just teach from afar. And what I mean by that is I don't want to just be
a, I don't want to just teach sessions without any personal interaction necessarily. For
some of you, that's good, and you've got what God was wanting to give you from those times,
and that's awesome. But I do realize that there might be some of you out there who are,
like man, I really resonate with what you're saying, Matt. I really resonate with what
you're teaching. I love the challenges, but I feel like I'm not, man, I feel like I need
some help with this. What I'm going to offer, and like I said, I'm going to advertise this
a little bit wider in the coming days, but I want to give you kind of a VIP invitation,
is some one-on-one coaching slash mentoring. And what that will look like is sort of half
an hour to an hour Zoom meetings with me, once every so often. Let me just stop for
a second there. Janice, thank you for that. Is forcing people like that scriptural? I
don't think it was forcing, to be honest. The greater context is the guy had previously
given this particular leader permission to push him in that way, and that was part of
being in the school. So it's kind of like Jesus picking his disciples and saying, follow
me. And then, hey, no one's forcing those disciples to follow, but if you want to follow,
then I'm going to ask you to do some stuff. And so that's kind of the situation with that
particular thing. No one's forcing anything. They're just saying, if you want to be a part
of it, this is what it looks like. And like I said, for him, it was a major breakthrough
and Jason knew that.
Yeah, that was cool.
When I'm with others, is that because I sense and I hear and sense the Holy Spirit more easily when I'm with others?
Is that because they are like pushing me off the surfboard or maybe I'm just more relaxed?
Lorraine, that's a great question. I think that there is...
Well, here's just a little side thought. Here's a little side thought that might relate to that question.
Little revelation, and this is it. God, Jesus, refers to us as individuals.
Before Him, we are His sons, we are His children, sons and daughters,
which gives us a level of intimacy and a level of connection with God, that of a son or daughter,
which is an amazing thing. So when He refers to us as individuals, we are the sons of God.
And that's not gender specific, but it's more of like a relational position specific.
So we're the sons of God, we're the children of God. When He speaks to us as a body of people
or as the church, He refers to us not as the sons, but as the bride of Christ. Now the bride,
as you know, the bride has a different level of intimacy than a son. My wife has a greater
level of intimacy, there's a greater closeness of relationship available to my wife than there
is available to my daughters, because she's my wife, she's my bride. And so I think that, and
this is one of the reasons that church is so important, and this is a totally different thing,
but it interacts with this question. One of the reasons that church and the gathering of the
saints is important is because we experience the bride reality in that context,
and we can only experience it in that context, to a degree,
I believe. We experience sonship individually, but we can only experience bride corporately.
Hopefully that makes sense. You can do your own digging into that in your own,
you can sort of process that with the Lord. That's a revelation
that God's given to me, and you can see it clearly in Scripture.
So I would say that part of what you're feeling in terms of your capacity to hear God when you're
with other people, is part of it is possibly a little bit of that, is that there is something
that God reserves of Himself that He makes really only available when we are gathered
together with the saints. That's not me saying, bringing anything,
diminishing your, you know, anyone's personal connection with God, because that's irreplaceable,
and there's something that a son has in their relationship with the father that a bride
doesn't have. And so it's both ways, but I'm just saying there's a difference in
interaction between the bride and the son. So hopefully that makes sense. If that didn't make
sense, just let me know. Matt, that didn't make sense, and I'll try and do a longer session on
that at another time. Sometimes I could deal with someone saying, go for it, because I'm inclined
to doubt and not go for it. Yep. Yep. Yep. Cool. Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Catherine and
Janice. Unified frequency of God and we are together. Yeah, that's probably another way to
put it. Yeah. Cool. I like it. So back to what I just interrupted myself as I was in the middle
of saying it, and thank you for these comments. I really like them. I really appreciate them,
is I'm going to offer some one-on-one mentoring coaching, which will be in the form of Zoom
meetings. And I'd like to, the way I'm choosing to do that is I kind of want to tailor make
packages for each person according to what's on their heart and their need.
And so that's not, now I need to let you know and be up front here, that's not going to be for free
because I do, you know, I do want to be able to, you know, go to the supermarket and buy food for
my kids and all that stuff. And if I spend all my time doing this for free, I'm not going to
be able to do that. So hopefully,
hopefully you can understand and honor that. So it's not going to be for free, and I haven't
actually decided on the cost of that, but it will be kind of a typical, normal kind
of coaching price. And yeah, so I'll let you know what that is. And what I'm thinking is
it'll be, maybe there'll be a one-off meeting with me. There'll be meetings between half
an hour and an hour long. And we'll work out what's on your heart, what you want to grow
on, where you want to go, where you are right now, what you think you need. I'll suggest
what I think you might need. And then we can make a little bit of a game plan and strategy
of how we want to work it. And it will probably look like either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly
coaching meetings with me, each around about an hour long, where you will be given homework,
you'll be given accountability, and you'll be given some personal guidance from me, specifically
regarding your walk with the Spirit, your relationship with God, hearing God's voice,
moving in the gifts of the Spirit, and things like that. So I want to make that available
to anyone that wants that here first, before I put that out on the Raising Royalty group
and things like that. So if that's something you would like, then please drop me a personal
message. You can do that just by, I'm sure you know how to do that, just drop me a direct
message and I will make a time with you to chat through that and get you on board for
that. So if that's something you'd like, do that. Don't sort of take too long about that
because like I said, I am going to put that out live very soon. And I don't have all the
time in the world and I don't really want all my time taken up coaching, even though
I do really love that. I still want to have time for my kids and time to surf, time to
do art, time to pray, time to do all that stuff. So cool guys. So that's going to be
happening. Stay tuned. And if you do want that, again, please direct message me. That
would be really cool. Yep. Awesome. The next thing that's coming up as well, guys, is there
are two things that are on my heart that I want to do on the Raising Royalty group and
also on the Online School of Sonship in a similar kind of framework to what we've done
for this last school. And those two things are, I want to do a specific school, short
school, similar to the School of the Spirit, but around and focusing in on hearing and
understanding the voice of God, the gift of prophecy, the gift of the Word of Knowledge
and the gift of the Word of Wisdom. And I want to go a little bit more in depth on prophecy
and on the gifts of revelation. When I say the gifts of revelation, someone said to me,
someone said to me, thought I was talking about the book of Revelation. I'm not talking
about the book of Revelation. I'm talking about things that God reveals to you, how
to walk in a way where God is revealing His voice and His communication and His heart
to you. So we're going to be doing that. That's going to be something on the Raising
Royalty group, but we'll also probably have another dynamic that's available like this
activation in the School of the Spirit, sorry, the School of Sonship group that we're on
right now. So that's going to come up as well. And the other thing that's on my heart, and
I'm not sure when I'm going to interject this, but I'd love to know and get some feedback
from you guys if any of you would be interested in this. But one of the things that's really
burning on my heart, probably even more so than the things I've been teaching in the
school to be honest, in this current season that I'm in, is creativity and the practice
of creativity in one's life. You know, I'm an artist and I spend quite a lot of my time
doing my art. And I have found it to be one of the greatest
places of prayer and connection with God, and I found that, well one person said
this, they said that a neuroscientist has concluded this in his life of study on
the subject. He said that one of the, he said 90 something, possibly even a
hundred percent of depression and anxiety in the world right now is due to
a disengagement with creativity. This is a secular neuroscientist. He made a
comment on that, he made that comment on a documentary called The Creative Brain.
I think you can see it on Netflix. Pretty amazing documentary, but I found that as
I began to re-engage with my creative art, with my creative discipline, with my
creative expression, that my mind is cleared, my heart, my spirit is cleared,
and I have found myself in a place of peace and joy and connection with God
that I didn't have fully when I wasn't engaged in my creativity.
And so anyway, I wondered if there are any people out there that are, well every
person that's listening is a creative person, but there's people out there that feel
somewhat disengaged with their creativity, or maybe like there's a
creative block that could really do with some teaching and some coaching
and some activation slash impartation around the creative. So if that's
something that interests you, let me know and that's another thing that's on my heart.
So guys, thank you. Thank you for tuning in and thank you for doing the
activations. I'm just going to read, see if I've missed any comments as I'm
wrapping up. Opportunities are very limited in church on Sundays from Janice.
Yeah, you're a hundred percent right about that Janice, and that's why I'm
really wanting to give the opportunity for this one-on-one mentoring stuff,
because you just, I don't know, for me I've gone through seasons of having,
you know, actually paying for coaches in my life, and just been absolutely very
beneficial to me. I've also got, you know, I don't pay them, but spiritual
fathers and mothers in my life that I'm on the phone to often, and I just
think that that's a must. But on top of that, I've got people that are
more structured kind of coaches. I don't actually have any right now, but I've
gone through seasons like that, and they've been very beneficial seasons
for me, where I've actually paid people who have become friends of mine to
intentionally coach me, structurally coach me towards goals and areas that
I'm needing breakthrough in. And so, so yeah, so boom, doing it. More than just
receiving an activation around creativity, it's reading, Michael, your
comment. I'd love an opportunity to share, form creative community, and be one of an
open group. Yeah, cool. I like that idea. I think there is some stuff around that
happening through the Raising Royalty group right now. I have to double-check
that, but Benji has a plan for that. I feel like some of my investment into
that will be around some of the teaching of it, and I'd love to also be
part of a sharing opportunity as well. So I'll probably be in that with you.
That's awesome. Alright guys, so big love, and thank you guys for your time. If you
are watching the replay, or you forgot to ask a question, and you're like, oh I
should have asked that question, then just drop a comment, and I'll try and get
around to seeing those, and answering those comments, and stay tuned. Remember
to direct message me if you'd like to engage in the coaching slash
mentoring, and I'll give some more clarity around that when I advertise that.
But for now I just wanted to give you a little heads up that that's coming
and that I want to make that available to you first.
Okay awesome guys, well big love and we'll stay tuned and see you soon.
