00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.000

Just starting here.

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.000
Just starting.

12
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.000

Nice.

16
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.000
Yeah.

17
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.000
Nevermind.

18
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Yeah.

19
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.000
You're out swimming.

20
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:51.000
Yeah.

21
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.000
Nice.

22
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.000
What type of swimming do you do?

23
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.000
Do you swim in the water?

24
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.000
Yeah.

25
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.000
Yeah.

26
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.000
Yeah.

27
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.000
Yeah.

28
00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Yeah.

29
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.000
Yeah.

30
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000
Yeah.

31
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.000
Yeah.

32
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Yeah.

33
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.000
Yeah.

34
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Yeah.

35
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.000
Yeah.

36
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.000
Yeah.

37
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Yeah.

38
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.000
Yeah.

39
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.000
Yeah.

40
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.000
Yeah.

41
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.000
Yeah.

42
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:14.000
Yeah.

43
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Yeah.

44
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.000
Yeah.

45
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.000
Nice.

46
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.000
What type of swimming do you do?

47
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.000
Do you just like me?

48
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.000
I quite Jim.

49
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.000
Okay.

50
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.000
That's nice.

51
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.000
What does the equity?

52
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.000
It's like going to the gym.

53
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.000
It's a bit easier in the water.

54
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.000
Okay.

55
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.000
Sweet.

56
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.000
That's cool.

57
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.000
I'm.

58
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.000
I'm a swimmer.

59
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.000
I'm a swimmer.

60
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.000
I swim around in the water.

61
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Although the water here in New Zealand the moment is the warmest.

62
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.000
I've ever experienced and it's so nice.

63
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.000
It's probably cause I'm in a warmer part of New Zealand as well.

64
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.000
It's just so nice.

65
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.000
Yeah.

66
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.000
Gloria just thing.

67
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.000
Good to have you with us.

68
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.000
Hi Benji.

69
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.000
Oh, cool.

70
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.000
I will.

71
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.000
We'll chat.

72
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.000
I mean, it's only just 11 now.

73
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.000
And I just sent the email.

74
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.000
So.

75
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Shirley.

76
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.000
Good to see you.

77
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.000
Wonderful to have you connecting.

78
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.000
Thank you.

79
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.000
So why doesn't someone tell us a fun story and then.

80
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.000
And then we'll pray and then we'll chat.

81
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.000
Fun story.

82
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.000
Sorry.

83
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.000
I bet you do.

84
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.000
So we're.

85
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.000
Where are you based?

86
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.000
You say Queensland.

87
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.000
I'm in.

88
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.000
We live in Queensland.

89
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.000
I'm originally from Texas.

90
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.000
States.

91
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.000
My wife's originally from England.

92
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.000
Her family moved here years ago with RAF.

93
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.000
And I met my wife several years ago and I'm a prodigal.

94
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.000
So.

95
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.000
So just been back with the Lord for the last seven years.

96
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.000
And it's just been a.

97
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.000
An incredible journey.

98
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.000
Leaps and bounds and fire.

99
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.000
It's been amazing.

100
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.000
That's fantastic.

101
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.000
Sandra.

102
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.000
Good to have you with us.

103
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.000
Cool. Cool.

104
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.000
Hi, Justin. Nice to see you.

105
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:37.000
Sweet.

106
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.000
So what's like the funniest animal in Queensland or like,

107
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.000
or the most annoying animal in Queensland?

108
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.000
Well, right now it's the cockatoos every morning.

109
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.000
Before daylight.

110
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.000
I'm hearing these things.

111
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.000
And you, you just don't.

112
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.000
You don't hear birds quite like that in the States.

113
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.000
Yeah.

114
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.000
Have you had any funny cockatoo encounters?

115
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.000
No, the, just that they wake me up.

116
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.000
Well, I guess one of the funniest ones is these magpies.

117
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.000
And.

118
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.000
Because the birds here are very brazen.

119
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.000
They don't back off.

120
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.000
Like sparrows and back in the States and stuff like that.

121
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.000
You get remotely close to them.

122
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.000
And these birds,

123
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.000
you kind of take a step to them to try and flush them off or intimidate

124
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.000
them.

125
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.000
And they just look at you.

126
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.000
And they actually step towards you. And I'm like,

127
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.000
what is going on here?

128
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.000
Oh, funny.

129
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.000
I was actually.

130
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.000
I've been harassed lately by seagulls.

131
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.000
Seagulls around here have been.

132
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.000
But out of control, you know, like.

133
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.000
I was just going to say.

134
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.000
Yeah.

135
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.000
Yeah.

136
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.000
Yeah.

137
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.000
Yeah.

138
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.000
Yeah.

139
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.000
Yeah.

140
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.000
Yeah.

141
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.000
Yeah.

142
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.000
Yeah.

143
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.000
Yeah.

144
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.000
Yeah.

145
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.000
Yeah.

whoever's got something on their heart just take it away it's an open mic kind of situation

170
00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:59.680
so we're gonna have a just not a dream of something that we're wanting to do but we're

171
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.840
talking about dreams that we have and trying to interpret those and what they mean all that stuff

172
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:11.040
not dream interpretation but like visions you know like vision you're bringing your dreams

173
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:19.680
your goals those types of things that's the focus today so following and off um

174
00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:25.760
following it off the back of our dreaming with god series that we've done the last few days so

175
00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:34.720
yeah um so if anyone's got a question or something like that then um go for it

176
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:42.800
otherwise mine's probably mine's probably gonna sound a bit weird yep that's all right we embrace

177
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:50.560
weirdos i just wanted to ask you when alan when your baby's due uh early march

178
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:59.600
wow wow because okay sorry because no no that's it really much

179
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:07.600
really much two months or three months because um we're told that whatever happens in the physical

180
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:14.560
is actually happening in the spiritual so i believe a big movement is going to be birthed

181
00:08:15.200 --> 00:08:23.520
through um raising royalty and the official birth date will be when alana's had that baby

182
00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:30.480
i really strongly believe that it's very exciting very exciting so we need to know

183
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.760
all the intimate details up before your trouble eh

184
00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:45.280
yeah yeah it sounds good all fin all right well why don't i um uh spark some conversation

185
00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:51.840
um unless someone's got a pressing question but i'll start

186
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:56.720
by sparking the conversation um and who

187
00:08:59.760 --> 00:09:05.200
who thinks that average is their friend and who thinks that average is their enemy

188
00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:15.200
for me that's enemy yep feel free to unmute and chat guys being my friend too long

189
00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:22.240
it's being your friend too long yes that's good no good anymore yeah that's right

190
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:28.000
that's that's a good point that's a well well said being my friend for too long

191
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:36.080
yeah i'd have to agree with that one yeah well i think when you when you start uh coming into

192
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:43.040
realization that uh everywhere we read in the bible you know it's there was always an acceleration a

193
00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:53.520
promotion a kingdom perspective that were kings and priests kings kings don't think uh average

194
00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:59.760
you know there's always decreeing and and a like the other day he gave me a quick vision of

195
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.840
like being an eagle, right before the eagle,

196
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.360
I'm around this little pool, a little pond,

197
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.640
and I'm seeing all the things that's right there

198
00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:12.680
at the pond, but when he took me up as an eagle,

199
00:10:12.680 --> 00:10:15.000
I saw way more than just the pond.

200
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.560
I saw acres and miles and miles of land.

201
00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:23.820
And he said, I want you to be walking a kingdom perspective.

202
00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:27.160
So there's no way I can be average.

203
00:10:27.160 --> 00:10:28.980
I have to think above that.

204
00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:31.860
Yeah, absolutely.

205
00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:32.700
Absolutely.

206
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.540
I hate average so much.

207
00:10:39.880 --> 00:10:43.760
And it's because it's so deceptive,

208
00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:45.920
that people get tricked into thinking

209
00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:47.760
that average is their friend.

210
00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:48.600
Yeah.

211
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.960
And I just, I did this post about it this week,

212
00:10:54.640 --> 00:10:55.920
about average.

213
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.520
And I think sometimes,

214
00:10:58.520 --> 00:11:01.480
because average is comfortable, right?

215
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.880
It seems like average is friendlier

216
00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:08.600
than someone like me who might make you uncomfortable.

217
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.720
When I say average is the devil, you know?

218
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.260
Like if I say, your average comes to rob, kill and destroy,

219
00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:21.520
people would probably prefer average to be their friend

220
00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:24.400
than someone confronting to be their friend.

221
00:11:24.400 --> 00:11:25.880
That make sense?

222
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.120
I've been pretty much bed bound for several days.

223
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:32.080
Hello, who was that?

224
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.280
Is that Paul?

225
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.040
Who was, oh, someone was sharing?

226
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.200
Sorry, my hair is not combed.

227
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:43.800
My name is Marie.

228
00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:44.640
Hi Marie.

229
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.400
Hello.

230
00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:49.200
How are you doing?

231
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:50.040
I'm all right.

232
00:11:50.040 --> 00:11:50.860
How are you?

233
00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:51.700
Yeah, great.

234
00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:52.520
Where are you Marie?

235
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:57.160
Yeah, so I'm calling from Sterling, Colorado.

236
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.040
Nice, Sterling, Colorado.

237
00:12:00.040 --> 00:12:02.080
I was having a chat to someone this week,

238
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.280
a very awesome divine appointment who was in,

239
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.140
is it Colorado Springs?

240
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.440
It is in Colorado.

241
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.560
I'm trying to think of it.

242
00:12:15.560 --> 00:12:19.080
Anyway, it was a good chat with someone from Colorado.

243
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.160
So what's happening for you today, Marie?

244
00:12:22.520 --> 00:12:25.520
Nothing, I just, I've been working on the house

245
00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:28.520
and just excited to be joining this

246
00:12:28.520 --> 00:12:32.480
and learning how to continue manifesting my desires

247
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.000
and moving forward with the vision.

248
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.240
That is very, very cool.

249
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:38.640
I love it.

250
00:12:38.640 --> 00:12:39.720
Love it.

251
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.720
So, yeah, any more thoughts on that guys?

252
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.640
Who's got some thoughts on that?

253
00:12:47.640 --> 00:12:50.120
I just want to create that kind of chatting sense,

254
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:55.120
open mic sense of everyone being able to jump in

255
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.440
and contribute.

256
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.120
So what are your thoughts on that?

257
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.400
Is average your friend or your enemy?

258
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.760
I just wanted to say, I really resonated with,

259
00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:17.800
when you were in the, one of the calls this week,

260
00:13:17.800 --> 00:13:21.720
you were talking about dreaming small dreams

261
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.520
and how that is really hurting you

262
00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:30.440
from dreaming the big dreams.

263
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.360
And so that's kind of, I think along the same line,

264
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.320
talking about being average.

265
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:41.320
And yeah, so that's some of the things that are on my heart.

266
00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:46.760
I would not even dare to think about apart from God.

267
00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:50.960
And it's like, just stretching me to think,

268
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.680
okay, is this something that I can do on my own?

269
00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:56.160
That means I'm not dreaming big enough.

270
00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:59.640
So that was a great encouragement.

271
00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:00.960
Cool.

272
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.400
Yeah, I hear you on that.

273
00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:07.400
It's so easy to set our goals and our dreams

274
00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:09.760
on the things that are achievable.

275
00:14:09.760 --> 00:14:11.720
We can actually see how we're going to achieve them.

276
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.640
So I can see how I'm going to do that.

277
00:14:13.640 --> 00:14:14.480
That's great.

278
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.960
And those things that are within our comfort zone

279
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.680
is saying, yep, that's, yeah, that's kind of my dream.

280
00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:25.680
Whereas that's not going to demand that you level up.

281
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.120
That's not going to demand that you step up

282
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.160
into everything, into who God sees you.

283
00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:33.160
God's dreaming something bigger for you

284
00:14:33.160 --> 00:14:35.480
than you're dreaming something for yourself.

285
00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:37.640
God's dreaming something bigger for you

286
00:14:37.640 --> 00:14:40.840
because he sees you differently to how you see yourself.

287
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.760
So if you set your sights within your comfort zone only,

288
00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:45.320
it's nothing wrong with having some small dreams,

289
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.400
but if all you do is dream within your comfort zone,

290
00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:51.440
then that will never place the demand on you

291
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:56.080
that comes on you when you start dreaming the impossible.

292
00:14:57.400 --> 00:15:00.080
Yes, that was what I loved that you said about it.

293
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.920
about placing the demand on you.

294
00:15:03.340 --> 00:15:04.260
Yeah.

295
00:15:04.260 --> 00:15:05.140
Yeah.

296
00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:06.420
Maria.

297
00:15:06.420 --> 00:15:07.540
God sees us.

298
00:15:07.540 --> 00:15:10.740
God sees what's possible and we.

299
00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:13.500
Yeah.

300
00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:16.740
Absolutely, absolutely.

301
00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:18.540
Marie, did I see your hand going up?

302
00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:21.140
Yes, can you hear me?

303
00:15:21.140 --> 00:15:22.780
Yeah, I got you.

304
00:15:22.780 --> 00:15:25.340
Okay, yeah, what I was gonna say is,

305
00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:27.580
so what I kinda see is like,

306
00:15:27.640 --> 00:15:31.880
we have so much energy and so much resources within us.

307
00:15:31.880 --> 00:15:36.560
And when we put our energy towards the small dreams,

308
00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:38.560
we're really just going around

309
00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:40.120
sprinkling stuff here and there.

310
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.640
Whereas if we divert all that energy towards the big dream,

311
00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:49.640
we'll be able to really pour more into it, I guess.

312
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.840
100%, 100%.

313
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.080
So like, if you have like a faucet

314
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.240
and you turn on the faucet

315
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.400
and it's got like all different splitters,

316
00:15:57.400 --> 00:15:59.000
like say you're out there watering,

317
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.040
you know, your different plants or whatever,

318
00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:03.800
and it's got like a little spigot

319
00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:05.720
going to all these different areas,

320
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.360
it's gonna be a really thin spray.

321
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.440
But if you turn it on full force

322
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:13.480
and just leave it on the one, coming out the one spigot,

323
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.560
it's gonna really be able to saturate

324
00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:21.560
and really have a large effect in that area.

325
00:16:21.660 --> 00:16:24.480
So that's kinda how I see it's important

326
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.560
to dream big and to concentrate your attention

327
00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:30.940
and efforts into the big dream.

328
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:33.320
Totally.

329
00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:37.200
I love what Nehemiah said when he was building the wall

330
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.720
and he had Tobias and Sanballat as enemies,

331
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:41.840
trying to like, they were trying to distract him

332
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.080
and trying to discourage him.

333
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.480
And he said, you know,

334
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.640
they were coming up with all these excuses

335
00:16:47.640 --> 00:16:49.640
and reasons why he should stop doing this,

336
00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:51.800
you know, going after the impossible.

337
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.080
And he said to them,

338
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.000
basically he said, why, you know,

339
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:02.320
why would I stop?

340
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.640
Why would I, he's like, I have a great task at hand,

341
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.440
why would I stop that to come down to you?

342
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.160
Yeah, come down to you Nehemiah.

343
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.960
And I feel like it's all about faith

344
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.400
because the small dreams we can easily do

345
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.920
in our own strength and in our own might.

346
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.520
But when God gives us a vision,

347
00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:21.319
it's so much bigger than us.

348
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.520
And he has to be the one to empower us.

349
00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:26.000
And that's when we step out on faith.

350
00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:28.359
Love it.

351
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.880
Yeah, it's a really big thing.

352
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.720
When you really say a strong yes,

353
00:17:34.840 --> 00:17:37.040
like the backbone of a strong yes

354
00:17:37.040 --> 00:17:40.000
to an assignment from God is a strong no.

355
00:17:41.040 --> 00:17:43.400
Like if you haven't got a strong no,

356
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:45.520
then your yes really means nothing.

357
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:51.280
Because if you say a massive yes to God,

358
00:17:52.040 --> 00:17:54.400
then you know that you're gonna have distraction,

359
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.400
you know you're gonna have other opportunities.

360
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.760
And this is the whole thing about small dreams

361
00:17:58.760 --> 00:18:02.120
don't place a demand on you, but big dreams do.

362
00:18:02.120 --> 00:18:04.840
Like a big dream might place a demand on you

363
00:18:04.840 --> 00:18:07.440
that you have to get up two hours earlier each day.

364
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.040
Whereas a small dream doesn't require that of you.

365
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.600
So a big dream you say,

366
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:19.720
you might have to say no to late nights and mucking around

367
00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:22.280
in order to follow through on your yes

368
00:18:22.280 --> 00:18:23.960
to getting up two hours earlier.

369
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:28.720
Good to see you.

370
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.720
Good to see everyone who's just been jumping in.

371
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.720
And Dave, I see your hand up there, bud.

372
00:18:36.040 --> 00:18:38.520
Yeah, I think one of the things,

373
00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:40.400
certainly speaking personally,

374
00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:43.560
I think sometimes we can equate average

375
00:18:43.560 --> 00:18:45.520
with humility as a Christian.

376
00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:46.360
And you think, you know,

377
00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:51.360
if you think bigger than what you can do,

378
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.960
you're not being humble kind of thing.

379
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.680
And I think that needs to be brought into the light

380
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:01.680
and find out, well, is that true or is it not true?

381
00:19:02.560 --> 00:19:06.440
I mean, one of the, what you were saying Benji as well

382
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.120
about sometimes your dream might require

383
00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:11.960
you get two hours earlier.

384
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.720
I mean, it's almost like, you know,

385
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.320
you're giving us almost like a vision

386
00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:18.400
of like an Olympic athlete,

387
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.320
whereas maybe some of us just feel like

388
00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:24.520
we're just kind of a jogger in a training thing.

389
00:19:24.520 --> 00:19:28.040
But, you know, a big dream requires commitment

390
00:19:28.040 --> 00:19:29.240
and it requires discipline.

391
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:31.880
Like if you want to reach the Olympics,

392
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.520
you know, which we don't see as your big dream,

393
00:19:34.520 --> 00:19:39.520
then are we willing to actually sort of accept the discipline

394
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.160
that goes with that?

395
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:46.280
And again, you know, it's all to do as well

396
00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:48.440
with the supernatural power of God

397
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.120
that he enables us to get there.

398
00:19:52.120 --> 00:19:52.960
Hallelujah.

399
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.400
I don't know if that makes sense, but there we go.

400
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:55.240
That's great.

401
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.720
I mean, this is a big deal.

402
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.080
Christians have totally messed up humility.

403
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.000
And God gave me such a massive key on this years ago

404
00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:09.840
that just completely set me up for massive transformation.

405
00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:11.080
And it's this, he says,

406
00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:14.100
it actually came out of Psalm 139, verse 14, right?

407
00:20:14.100 --> 00:20:15.480
Where I'm reading that and I was like,

408
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.240
God, I don't know about this Psalm.

409
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.240
I don't know if I agree with it

410
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.960
because it says all your works are wonderful.

411
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.800
And I was like, if I went around wearing a T-shirt

412
00:20:22.800 --> 00:20:24.520
that said, I'm wonderful,

413
00:20:24.520 --> 00:20:27.480
I know that most of the Christians around me

414
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.320
are just gonna say, wow, that guy's a proud, arrogant monkey.

415
00:20:30.320 --> 00:20:32.240
You know, what's going on here?

416
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:35.400
And I was like, God, you know, like people aren't gonna say,

417
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:36.320
you know, like people,

418
00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:38.720
if I was going around saying, I'm wonderful

419
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:40.280
and wearing a T-shirt like that,

420
00:20:40.280 --> 00:20:41.600
people are gonna say, I'm proud.

421
00:20:41.600 --> 00:20:44.600
Like, well, what's the, there's something wrong here.

422
00:20:44.600 --> 00:20:46.480
And he said, well, where's the pride issue?

423
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:50.520
Is the pride issue in believing that you're wonderful

424
00:20:50.520 --> 00:20:54.000
or is the pride issue in refusing to agree with me?

425
00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:59.680
And he just, he just followed that up

426
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.240
with this absolute genius of a line

427
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.000
that has changed my life,

428
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.960
which is humility is simply to agree with God.

429
00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:12.840
And that was the key that set me free

430
00:21:12.840 --> 00:21:16.360
to finally come into alignment with God about my identity.

431
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.240
You know, I'm made in the image of God, right?

432
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:22.880
Christians all, you know,

433
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.320
it's one of your first things you get taught

434
00:21:24.320 --> 00:21:26.400
in Sunday school, you're made in the image of God,

435
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.440
but no one believes it.

436
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:31.760
No one actually believes it.

437
00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:34.520
If you believe you were made in the image of God,

438
00:21:34.520 --> 00:21:37.440
then how much sinful nature does God have?

439
00:21:41.320 --> 00:21:45.880
You know, like Christianity sets people up

440
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.200
to be spiritual schizophrenics.

441
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:49.600
And this is me my whole life, you know,

442
00:21:49.600 --> 00:21:51.600
missionary kid, pastor's kid,

443
00:21:51.600 --> 00:21:54.040
first job working for a church.

444
00:21:54.040 --> 00:21:57.160
I was spiritually schizophrenic

445
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.080
because I believed I was the righteousness of God

446
00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:02.480
and Christ Jesus and that I had a sinful nature.

447
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.440
The two are not compatible.

448
00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:09.320
To be made in the image of God and to have a sinful nature,

449
00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:13.600
it's not a, there's no compatibility there.

450
00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:14.960
The only way we can do,

451
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.280
we can live with that is to be spiritually schizophrenic.

452
00:22:20.280 --> 00:22:22.560
And this is where Christians really stuff up

453
00:22:22.560 --> 00:22:24.000
with their psychology,

454
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.240
because they have theology that makes,

455
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.200
that is also terrible psychology.

456
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:29.880
It doesn't make sense,

457
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:31.840
but because it's theology, they embrace it.

458
00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:34.400
But they have this, like they have,

459
00:22:35.320 --> 00:22:38.360
they have theology that isn't congruent.

460
00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:40.240
They have theology that is like,

461
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.800
it's actually psychotic, you know,

462
00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:44.160
it's opposing reality.

463
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.480
It doesn't mean, but they just say, oh, I just believe.

464
00:22:47.560 --> 00:22:51.040
But actually good theology is good psychology.

465
00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:53.360
You know, like theology and psychology,

466
00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:56.200
when they're both really good, they actually harmonize.

467
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:57.760
Like God invented psychology.

468
00:22:57.760 --> 00:23:00.920
It shouldn't be a surprise that good theology

469
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.160
and good psychology are the same thing.

470
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.240
They meet perfectly and harmonize perfectly.

471
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:10.040
And so bringing this back to our dreams, right?

472
00:23:10.040 --> 00:23:12.320
Humility is simply to agree with God.

473
00:23:12.320 --> 00:23:14.080
And you know, Dave, what you were saying is

474
00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:15.680
a lot of people say, oh, that's, you know,

475
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.560
that's proud, that's arrogant, that's too, you know,

476
00:23:19.560 --> 00:23:23.160
you're pushing it too far, or that's too big a dream.

477
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.640
Well, this is where humility comes in again, right?

478
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:28.800
Humility is simply to agree with God.

479
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.760
And if God said in Ephesians 3.20,

480
00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:35.640
which is our kind of like,

481
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.880
Ephesians 3.20 is such a great verse

482
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.440
because it just busts so much religious junk thinking.

483
00:23:42.840 --> 00:23:46.680
You know, it's like every single person on the planet,

484
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:49.040
God created with this purpose,

485
00:23:49.040 --> 00:23:52.160
this desire that they would live in Ephesians 3.20.

486
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.160
So who's got the problem?

487
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:56.280
Does God have the problem?

488
00:23:56.280 --> 00:23:58.760
You know, is the problem with the Bible

489
00:23:58.760 --> 00:24:00.680
that, you know, God should never have said that.

490
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.640
He's just setting people up for disappointment, right?

491
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.080
How dare God go around and promise everyone

492
00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:09.200
that there's infinite possibilities in Christ.

493
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:10.680
Like that's just not on.

494
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.520
How dare God say that He can do exceedingly abundantly

495
00:24:14.520 --> 00:24:16.480
more than we've ever did to ask, dream, hope,

496
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.320
think, or imagine.

497
00:24:17.320 --> 00:24:19.480
That's just setting people up for disappointment.

498
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:23.040
You know, like, is the Bible verse the issue?

499
00:24:23.040 --> 00:24:28.040
Or is that our agreement that's the issue?

500
00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:29.120
Yeah.

501
00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:30.360
Our agreement.

502
00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:31.200
Very good.

503
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.400
Very good, but also.

504
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:33.240
Very good.

505
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:35.680
And that's why I hate average, right?

506
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:38.600
Because when we're living in average,

507
00:24:38.600 --> 00:24:40.120
when we're living in average,

508
00:24:40.120 --> 00:24:43.240
we have found some form of excuse

509
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:45.880
or some form of justification

510
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.280
that we use to comfort ourselves

511
00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:51.720
to say that the life that we're living

512
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:55.040
that is so far from what God designed for us is okay.

513
00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:56.800
And I should be okay with this.

514
00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:59.400
You know, it's like this.

515
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.040
it's it hypnotizes us it's like an it has this anesthetic type process it numbs us down we kind

516
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:13.680
of get in this slump in this place and we justify it but then I love it because Ephesians 3 20 comes

517
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:20.160
along and just gets right up in your grill and says actually that is not what you were created for

518
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:27.040
and look around your life look at every area of your life and ask yourself if every if there's

519
00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:32.400
any area in your life that's not in alignment with Ephesians 3 20 which is exceedingly abundantly

520
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.600
above and beyond all that you've ever dared to ask dream pray think or imagine so if it's even

521
00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:43.520
if it's not there or rapidly hitting there like your life is on a roller coaster of glorious

522
00:25:43.520 --> 00:25:50.160
exhilaration that's more exciting than anything you could imagine then you're just you're a mile

523
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:56.720
away from what God has for us and now I just find that people get so confronted by that right that

524
00:25:56.800 --> 00:26:04.720
they like you know they would rather intensify that like rather hold hold fast to average and

525
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:11.680
pretend that average is their friend rather than embrace the cutting confronting truth

526
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.400
of what God's actually saying which is you were born for more

527
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:24.800
what I find interesting too is who you surround yourself with and when you struggle to be around

528
00:26:24.800 --> 00:26:30.480
people who have that sort of faith level that's why finding you Benji was so incredible because

529
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:38.880
I realized how low my faith level has been now for so many years and even though I've been in a

530
00:26:39.840 --> 00:26:44.960
prayer group with a few girls it would be up and down and you'd be sitting there going oh

531
00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:50.800
are we on the right track you're always doubting yourself and you're thinking I think I've got this

532
00:26:50.800 --> 00:26:56.800
wrong and then you just feel even more demoralized so that's why being and connecting with you has

533
00:26:56.800 --> 00:27:03.920
just been so fantastic this week has really raised my expectations again and even though I struggled

534
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:10.880
to dream and dream big it's just put me in that place of well I don't want to be average

535
00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:17.120
so I've got to do something something's got to change it has to change it has to change right

536
00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:23.280
and I think that's one of the great things about the chaos in the world right now right

537
00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:31.600
don't go don't go pointing the finger right at people who are being bad guys

538
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:38.880
at people who are being bad guys who have organized a world full of chaos because

539
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.960
chaos just fills the vacuum that we leave when we're not living in Ephesians 320

540
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.680
right wow

541
00:27:51.520 --> 00:27:57.120
so come on I think you know like there's all these people going oh god why and he's like oh

542
00:27:57.120 --> 00:28:05.360
please why you know like I created you to be limitless I created you for infinite possibilities

543
00:28:05.360 --> 00:28:16.800
in Christ you hold to average you won't you won't respond to my encouragement to come up higher

544
00:28:18.560 --> 00:28:26.320
you you surround yourself with justifications yeah you surround yourself with excuses you

545
00:28:26.320 --> 00:28:31.520
surround yourself with people who make you feel comfortable even though you're living so far

546
00:28:31.520 --> 00:28:36.480
outside of the good things that I have for you it's not like he's saying oh come into this bad

547
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:42.160
place it's like he's like I have a promised land for you that's so much better yet you cling to

548
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:49.760
the scraps what is wrong with you and because we're clinging to the scraps of average not tasting

549
00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:55.600
the goodness of the promised land there's a vacuum that's created all right a vacuum of influence

550
00:28:55.600 --> 00:29:01.120
because the promised land looks like us discipling nations slaying giants bringing down the giants of

551
00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:07.440
darkness overturning every system of corruption and evil and greed uh and chaos and oppression

552
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.160
and tyranny that's what the promised land looks like and all of a sudden now the world's gone to

553
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:20.160
absolute chaos um and now Christians are like you know like oh god why it's like come on like you're

554
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:26.480
the why it's good and it's not going to change until right it's not going to change until we

555
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:33.600
actually stop being friends with average yeah we don't realize that average is actually betraying

556
00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:42.880
us yes it's not our friend and I think sometimes we um don't even take the time to take out the

557
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:48.640
giants that are on our own mountains of governance in our own life and God wants us to slay those

558
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:54.480
giants and then go out and take other other mountains of influence influence in that as well

559
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:59.760
so um yeah that's awesome amazing and that's that's what I love about extreme

560
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.320
ship right that to me is an example of extreme ownership because i love that when you're

561
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.280
when you're in this place right like where i started out a number of years ago

562
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:13.840
i actually remember this i would have probably been

563
00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:17.600
i was probably

564
00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:28.000
1920 and i had an impossible dream i had a pretty impossible dream from the time i was 17

565
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:33.440
and i just looked at the i looked at the logistics of it and i was like with all my resources and

566
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.320
all my skills and all that i could ever do this will even still from in my whole lifetime be

567
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:44.880
impossible because the dream's so big i was like i was just trying to do the maths and i was like

568
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:54.000
how the heck could this work and and so as opposed to going oh it can't work i just was asking

569
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:59.120
myself how the heck could this work and my dad had been sending me books by yongi cho who's just a

570
00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:05.680
faith monster absolute faith monster so when your dad's sending you books by yongi cho and

571
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:09.760
john wimber at 18 you're going to get set up for something you know if you actually pay attention

572
00:31:09.760 --> 00:31:14.160
to what's going on um and i was just like no that's what i'm probably going to have to learn

573
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:20.320
to pray like yongi cho because he the impossible thing the impossible didn't seem to be a problem

574
00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:27.520
for him you know the impossible were like his like just every week that was his kind of daily

575
00:31:27.520 --> 00:31:31.840
reality lived in the impossible and i was like well what's what did yongi cho do

576
00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:40.480
that set him apart i was like oh he just prayed he prayed so you know at 18 when i left home

577
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:46.800
i would sometimes be sleeping through my classes because i've been up at five in the morning

578
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:53.440
praying you know like my weekends instead of my weekends you know like everyone else is out

579
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:59.120
drinking i'm i'm in prayer and fasting you know for the people in my hostel to see god to see a

580
00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:07.840
move of god so this is the thing is like if you go okay right if you take the time to actually go

581
00:32:07.840 --> 00:32:14.000
right well i'm gonna let go of my justifications i'm gonna let go of my excuses and i'm actually

582
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:19.520
going to just say well not like and i'm just going to look for a blueprint from heaven for

583
00:32:19.520 --> 00:32:26.400
how to make the impossible happen like because heaven has a blueprint like god has a thousand

584
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:34.240
solutions before you even realize there's a problem yeah and he has the impossible you're

585
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:42.880
amazing yeah that's good that's so good that's so good that is so good it's really good a thousand

586
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:49.360
answers before there's a problem um this has probably been over the last year um because

587
00:32:49.360 --> 00:32:55.440
setting up raising royalty uh has been a massive faith adventure even like at the start of this

588
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:59.760
year i just looked at the staffing bill of what we were going to have as a staffing bill

589
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.200
because he's like i want you to expand i want you to go for it i'm like whoa so we've just had a

590
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:09.680
bunch of staff on and i'm like paying you know like i spend usually like ten to thirty thousand

591
00:33:09.760 --> 00:33:15.360
dollars a week just on expenses and that's way more than i you know like that's more than i used

592
00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:20.720
to earn in a year i'm like okay god we're gonna like we're gonna change that change the game up

593
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:28.880
here and but one of the most important like systems you could call it that he's given me is

594
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:36.640
just make sure that you posture your heart always in the place of delight like i can never and this

595
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:42.480
is this is you're like if you if you accept average then you can kind of just get comfortable

596
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:46.880
in there and whatever but if you're going to go after the exceptional the exhilarating what god

597
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:51.200
really has for you it's going to put it like this is what i'm saying it puts different demands on

598
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:57.680
you and your while when your yes gets bigger your no has to get bigger too so my yes has to be a

599
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:04.800
massive yes to always living in delight i have to say an enormous no to like i don't i can't

600
00:34:04.800 --> 00:34:11.280
ever afford to grumble or be offended or moan like i can't afford that like the price tag on

601
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:18.880
that attitude is way too high i can't afford it because what happens right when you live in a

602
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:27.040
place of delight it's um when you live in a constant place of delight in god in a sense

603
00:34:27.040 --> 00:34:32.159
it becomes like a garden of delight and wisdom the spirit of wisdom will meet you there

604
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:39.360
wisdom from god will find you there and what so if you're in this this is just i'm just giving you

605
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:45.199
my most probably my most valuable lesson of the last 18 months when you live in a place of delight

606
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:51.120
whenever you have need for a blueprint from heaven to accomplish the impossible if you

607
00:34:51.120 --> 00:34:56.480
live in the place of delight and you know god's gonna turn up it's a place of delight and faith

608
00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:59.760
and trust in god that hey i'm gonna i'm gonna

609
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.640
responsibility is to live in faith. And then I'm going to

610
00:35:02.640 --> 00:35:07.120
watch what you do every second, like every, every time you need

611
00:35:07.120 --> 00:35:10.200
it will be there with a strategy, a blueprint from

612
00:35:10.200 --> 00:35:14.840
heaven, for how you can, like, how you can get, you know, the

613
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:20.280
tip off the next impossibility. And we've just seen it. You

614
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:26.360
know, that it's become my like, absolute dependency to live in

615
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.320
the impossible. It's like, you want to live in the impossible,

616
00:35:29.560 --> 00:35:32.720
you have to live in the garden of delight. Like, the sound of

617
00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:35.080
your delight will be the sound of your breakthrough. So if

618
00:35:35.080 --> 00:35:37.720
there's no like, you're not living in this place of delight

619
00:35:37.720 --> 00:35:45.080
and adoration with God, then you like, you're not positioning

620
00:35:45.080 --> 00:35:46.920
yourself to receive what he has for you.

621
00:35:50.680 --> 00:35:52.880
Beautiful. Awesome, Benji.

622
00:35:54.240 --> 00:35:58.360
That is so awesome. I think all these different people that I

623
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:02.640
listened to, and you just basically said the same thing,

624
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.200
that at the root of all of this is your, your encounter with

625
00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:12.600
God, your dwelling place is Holy Spirit is Jesus. And other

626
00:36:12.600 --> 00:36:15.760
people like David Hogan, and these prophets and stuff like

627
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.680
that, that walk in the miraculous walk in the

628
00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:22.160
impossible. When they're asked the question, what is the key?

629
00:36:23.160 --> 00:36:24.680
Spending time in Jesus.

630
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:25.680
Amen.

631
00:36:28.680 --> 00:36:33.200
Absolutely. Every time. Every time. And, and then there's

632
00:36:33.200 --> 00:36:40.400
like, there's lots of, see, if there's some people that are

633
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.920
really good at spending time with Jesus who never

634
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.800
accomplish anything.

635
00:36:44.240 --> 00:36:44.640
Yeah.

636
00:36:45.640 --> 00:36:51.000
And that, so this is, this is another like, another kind of

637
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:58.920
side of a coin in the Christian space is, is just

638
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:03.200
understanding stewardship of your time. Understanding

639
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:06.040
stewardship of strategies like great if you're going to spend

640
00:37:06.040 --> 00:37:12.400
time with Jesus, but like, sometimes some people use that

641
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.120
in the wrong way. It might sound weird, right? But some

642
00:37:15.120 --> 00:37:21.480
people like, Oh, all I ever do is pray. Now I love praying. And

643
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.280
so don't, don't hear me wrong. But you've got lots of

644
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.000
Christians who have a great prayer life who are completely

645
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.320
don't accomplish their assignment.

646
00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:30.960
That's correct. That's absolutely correct.

647
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.680
And it's, to me, it's a maturity issue, right? As they

648
00:37:35.680 --> 00:37:38.480
think, well, all I have to do is pray. And it's like, no, no,

649
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:41.200
you don't. That's not all you have to do. They don't have to

650
00:37:41.200 --> 00:37:45.000
that's not all you have to do that. You there's so much

651
00:37:45.640 --> 00:37:49.440
involved in fulfilling the assignment from God on your

652
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:54.400
life. You can't just be a single string bow. Right? If you really

653
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:58.240
want to fulfill the assignment for God on your life, you have

654
00:37:58.240 --> 00:38:03.000
to constantly live in a place of exponential growth. Because

655
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:05.440
there's going to be so much demand on you like this. There's

656
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:08.640
so many things you need to learn and so many things you need to

657
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:10.000
time management.

658
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:17.760
Yeah, you know, that that's a big deal. And how and very big

659
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:18.120
deal.

660
00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:23.680
Just that, for example, everything, stewardship is such

661
00:38:23.680 --> 00:38:28.120
a huge thing in the kingdom, because how you steward will

662
00:38:28.120 --> 00:38:35.480
determine the like, if you steward, well, you basically

663
00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:41.200
become magnetic to favour. And that favour does more of the

664
00:38:41.200 --> 00:38:43.840
work in accomplishing the impossible than you will ever

665
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:44.160
do.

666
00:38:46.080 --> 00:38:50.560
A favour is the tool of the trade when you walk work in the

667
00:38:50.560 --> 00:38:51.200
impossible.

668
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.640
Right, so so an example is this. And this we're taking on right

669
00:38:57.640 --> 00:39:00.320
now the biggest assignment from heaven that we've ever said yes

670
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.000
to, which is to set up a kingdom insurance company from scratch.

671
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.240
You know, like, at bare minimum, we're going to need to raise at

672
00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:11.160
least 20 million us for that this year. And that's not even

673
00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:13.520
the hard part. Like the hard part is figuring out all the

674
00:39:13.520 --> 00:39:17.920
structures, the legal, you know, that's the that's the tricky

675
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:18.800
part, right?

676
00:39:20.720 --> 00:39:26.480
But in this, so some people would get daunted by a massive

677
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.600
challenge from God like that, right? Who gets challenged

678
00:39:28.600 --> 00:39:31.560
sometimes like, okay, God, that's too big. Oh, that's too

679
00:39:31.560 --> 00:39:34.320
outrageous. Like, oh, man, that's too massive. Yeah.

680
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:40.520
This is a great space where testicular fortitude will be

681
00:39:40.520 --> 00:39:41.120
your friend.

682
00:39:45.680 --> 00:39:48.040
If you need a dictionary, then you're welcome to look that up.

683
00:39:48.040 --> 00:39:49.440
You'll find it there under T.

684
00:39:55.040 --> 00:39:59.400
testicular fortitude to me is what faith looks like. Like when

685
00:39:59.400 --> 00:39:59.800
God

686
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.440
God gives you a dream, and you've got to understand that God's always outdreaming you.

687
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:12.240
If you really receive an assignment from heaven, it's going to be way beyond you. It's because

688
00:40:12.240 --> 00:40:20.320
God's natural language is the impossible. He's like, oh, I don't speak the language of possible

689
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:28.160
very well. I'm not fluent in that. He's like, I'm really fluent in the impossible. When you receive

690
00:40:28.160 --> 00:40:38.480
an assignment from heaven, you're receiving the impossible. But one of the major tools of the

691
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:44.160
trade in accomplishing the impossible is favor, which is actually God doing the work for you.

692
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:54.080
Favor is the space where God actually does the work for you. When God gives you a dream that's

693
00:40:54.080 --> 00:41:02.320
way too big, if you respond with a massive yes in the face of the impossible,

694
00:41:03.120 --> 00:41:07.600
you're like, this is impossible, but you respond with a massive yes anyway.

695
00:41:10.160 --> 00:41:17.040
Well, that's when it starts activating the favor, and more is accomplished in the yes,

696
00:41:18.080 --> 00:41:23.040
because that yes to God, regardless of how impossible and how massive and how huge the

697
00:41:23.040 --> 00:41:28.720
dream seems, the yes to God, rather than the, oh, no, that's too much. I'm just going to stick

698
00:41:28.720 --> 00:41:35.040
with average. Sorry, Jesus. You're going to have to. Yeah. No, me and my church, we just do average.

699
00:41:35.040 --> 00:41:40.480
Sorry, Jesus. That's too big. We're not doing this discipling nations business, all right? We've got

700
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:47.280
a local community to focus on. Sorry about that, Jesus. You have to find some other church to

701
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:53.040
disciple the nations. Here's what happens. When you say a massive yes,

702
00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:01.200
that faith activates something in the supernatural realm where heaven begins to serve

703
00:42:01.200 --> 00:42:07.360
the assignment. What you find is actually heaven's doing more of the heavy lifting on

704
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:13.920
your assignment than you are if you posture yourself right. You posture yourself in delight.

705
00:42:14.640 --> 00:42:20.320
You posture yourself with a massive yes. You posture yourself living in the spirit,

706
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:26.880
eyes on him, fixed on him, attentive, walking in the spirit, living in the spirit like, yes, God.

707
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:31.040
And you know what? You might have to get up early and you might have to work hard,

708
00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:36.960
but actually the real heavy lifting, the real heavy lifting will be done by heaven. Heaven will

709
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:43.520
go to work for you. And what that will look like is, that'll look like divine assignments,

710
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:49.200
sorry, divine alignments, divine appointments, divine timing, all these things that you could

711
00:42:49.200 --> 00:42:56.000
never have organized or arranged, the people that you need to talk to. Now, I mentioned that I was

712
00:42:56.000 --> 00:43:02.080
on a call with a guy from Colorado Springs earlier in the week and another guy from Minnesota.

713
00:43:03.120 --> 00:43:09.680
They were probably the two people on the planet, possibly the only two people on the planet that

714
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:16.080
understood the answer to the question that I had. And I've never met them before. And they're

715
00:43:16.080 --> 00:43:22.160
really high level characters, big players who are like just buying out malls and golf clubs and like

716
00:43:22.160 --> 00:43:26.960
doing all sorts of stuff. I've never met them before. And I got on a one and a half hour Zoom

717
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:40.400
call with them. And I'm like, wow. Yay, Jesus. I mean, just by one person who I wasn't going to

718
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.040
have a call with them, but then I decided I'll have a call with them anyway. Just felt the

719
00:43:45.040 --> 00:43:50.640
nudge to call them. And then I said, oh, hey, let me introduce you to someone who I think may be

720
00:43:50.640 --> 00:43:55.280
helpful. Not maybe helpful. These were the two people that held one of the most significant

721
00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:02.560
keys to the assignment that God's just given me. Wow. And it's just like, how the heck am I

722
00:44:02.560 --> 00:44:06.720
hanging out with these really high level guys? You know, one in Minnesota, one in Colorado Springs

723
00:44:06.720 --> 00:44:09.920
that I've never met before. We meet for an hour and a half. And then at the end of it,

724
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:18.960
we're all just exhilarated with what God's doing. It's just like, wow, God. So how did that happen?

725
00:44:19.040 --> 00:44:26.400
Well, that didn't happen by me doing anything except in terms of that's not connected to

726
00:44:27.120 --> 00:44:33.280
my actual actions or me being clever. That's connected to the rhythm of life.

727
00:44:35.600 --> 00:44:40.800
That's connected to the way of life. It's connected to the rhythm. It's connected to

728
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:45.600
a rhythm of delight. It's connected to a rhythm of faith. It's connected to a rhythm of stewardship.

729
00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:49.360
Because that's not going to happen if I'm beating my wife.

730
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:53.360
Heaven's going to go, oh, this clown's on his own.

731
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:59.920
Heaven's not going to go to bat for you while you're beating.

732
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.520
your wife. Because there's a level of stewardship that opens

733
00:45:05.520 --> 00:45:09.640
up a level of favor, and your level of favor and your level of

734
00:45:09.640 --> 00:45:12.360
stewardship, they go hand in hand. You know, I think two

735
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:19.480
major things is, one, your level of desire. This cannot be

736
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:23.720
underestimated in terms of how heaven will respond to you. The

737
00:45:23.720 --> 00:45:28.720
level of desire that you carry for something. God's promised

738
00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:34.040
you the flipping world. Do you want it? God has given you

739
00:45:34.080 --> 00:45:37.280
infinite possibilities available in Christ Jesus. He's taken off

740
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:40.040
all the limits. He's given you all the promises of yes and

741
00:45:40.040 --> 00:45:43.560
amen in Christ Jesus. He said infinitely, exceedingly,

742
00:45:43.560 --> 00:45:46.440
abundantly, above and beyond all that you've ever did to ask,

743
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:48.960
dream, or imagine. And what's your response to that? It's kind

744
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:57.520
of like, oh, no, thanks, God. I'll just have average. Or God's

745
00:45:57.520 --> 00:46:00.000
promised you the whole world. He's taken off all the limits.

746
00:46:03.640 --> 00:46:13.000
And then your response to that is not really interested. I'd

747
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:19.640
rather just, oh, nah, I'm gonna work. I'm not too interested in

748
00:46:20.120 --> 00:46:23.960
really any of that, Jesus. Well, how do you think from heaven's

749
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:26.400
perspective, from the angel's perspective, they're gonna look

750
00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:32.120
at you and go, what? They're not gonna want to have anything to

751
00:46:32.120 --> 00:46:35.520
do with you. They don't want to associate with you. You imagine

752
00:46:35.520 --> 00:46:40.600
that your life puts out a fragrance, like a flower puts

753
00:46:40.600 --> 00:46:45.400
out an aroma that attracts bees. Well, your level of desire

754
00:46:46.600 --> 00:46:50.240
releases a fragrance into the atmosphere around you, into the

755
00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:56.200
spiritual life that attracts heaven. Your level of desire and

756
00:46:56.200 --> 00:47:01.680
your level of stewardship, they just make heaven magnetic to

757
00:47:01.680 --> 00:47:10.000
your life. So even like I'm taking care of my health now

758
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:12.640
more than ever before, right? So this morning, before six o'clock,

759
00:47:12.640 --> 00:47:18.240
I'm at the gym. I've got to be careful. I just hurt my knee and

760
00:47:18.240 --> 00:47:21.760
my shoulders a bit sore from bench pressing on Monday. But

761
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.120
I'm still at the gym working out. There's still plenty of

762
00:47:24.120 --> 00:47:26.960
stuff I can do. You know, I'm not out of the game. I can work

763
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:31.240
on my core, work on biceps, work on cardio. There's plenty of

764
00:47:31.240 --> 00:47:34.360
things I can do. And so why am I there? Well, part of that

765
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:39.040
stewardship, understand like every area of your life, God is

766
00:47:39.040 --> 00:47:44.480
looking to see how you're going to steward it. And when you take

767
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:51.880
stewardship seriously, you unleash favor. And favor will do

768
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:53.760
the heavy lifting for you on your assignment.

769
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:03.760
Awesome.

770
00:48:06.120 --> 00:48:07.720
Oh, guys. Cool. Cool.

771
00:48:10.720 --> 00:48:15.960
I wasn't on the previous days where you were sharing. So I

772
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:19.160
just got up this morning and I saw the email and this is my day

773
00:48:19.160 --> 00:48:23.280
off and, and just felt really strong. My wife reminded me of

774
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.400
it also. And every time I have been able to join in, I'm

775
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:32.360
greatly, greatly blessed. And you say things like people that

776
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:35.800
are around us, and they're like, well, I'm a work in progress.

777
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:40.640
You know, God's working on all of us. And inside, I'm just

778
00:48:40.640 --> 00:48:46.000
stirred like, but there's more. There's way more. Yeah. And then

779
00:48:46.040 --> 00:48:49.720
and then getting God given any thoughts like, this is what I'm

780
00:48:49.720 --> 00:48:54.320
wanting you to do. Set up a board. What do you have to do in

781
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:56.840
order to start making that happen? Just do one thing at a

782
00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:00.880
time. Believe it, step into it, accomplish it. And we're going

783
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.160
to get there together. So to hear everything that you're

784
00:49:04.160 --> 00:49:08.800
saying about stewardship and heaven's favor, man, I am on

785
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:09.680
fire excited.

786
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:15.840
That is great to hear. Paul, good to see you there, bud. See

787
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:16.560
you jumping in.

788
00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:24.640
G'day. How are you going? It's been awesome. Really

789
00:49:24.640 --> 00:49:29.360
encouraging. Yeah, actually, just a small testimony. This

790
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:32.240
morning, we were getting a table, table and chairs from the

791
00:49:32.240 --> 00:49:39.240
warehouse. And what happened was they, we bought it online, and

792
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:45.800
it got refunded. Because there was no stock. So we went into

793
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:50.680
the shop, and there was one more display model. So we said,

794
00:49:50.680 --> 00:49:55.440
well, can we buy this and we were waiting for ages. And

795
00:49:56.040 --> 00:49:58.160
because the manager had to approve it.

796
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.800
Yeah, and my wife was with me. She's just there doing the gardening. And she said, Oh,

797
00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:13.760
well, there's no way it's going to be delivered today. And I said, well, where's your faith?

798
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:20.520
It's like, I don't know. Because part of the refund was they said they'll do a free delivery,

799
00:50:20.520 --> 00:50:26.400
but not for oversized items. And it was an oversized item. But well, anyway, we ended

800
00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:32.080
up buying it. And someone overheard us talking about it. And he said, Hey, chuck it in the

801
00:50:32.080 --> 00:50:38.920
van and I'll take it to your place. So yeah, it was got it also got the discount from it

802
00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:45.600
because there was one screw missing. So yeah, I'm just I think just the favour. I was just

803
00:50:45.600 --> 00:50:49.440
really feeling the favour of God. And when I was waiting, it was like I was starting

804
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:56.080
to get frustrated. But then I was thinking, hang on. What just started thanking God for

805
00:50:56.080 --> 00:51:05.120
thank God for now right now, instead of complaining about having to wait an extra 15 minutes.

806
00:51:05.120 --> 00:51:13.240
So yeah, just it's just really helped me. Yeah, to believe more about really what what

807
00:51:13.240 --> 00:51:18.080
God says about me. Because I'm doing the daily declarations. You know, I'm declaring who

808
00:51:18.120 --> 00:51:23.920
I am that. Yeah, I'm a child of God. I'm a son of God. So yeah, thanks. Thanks again.

809
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:28.640
It's awesome. Awesome, man. That's great. Yeah. Good to see Paul. Now we got Paul. You're

810
00:51:28.640 --> 00:51:36.640
in Dunedin, eh Paul? Me? No. I'm in Masterton. Masterton. Sorry. Masterton. Yeah, that's

811
00:51:36.640 --> 00:51:44.800
yeah. Masterton. Yeah. Colin Galton is another another one of my buddies. You might see him.

812
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:51.120
Yeah. Yeah. Great. Yeah. And then we've got Paul Currie. Where are you now, Paul? You

813
00:51:51.120 --> 00:51:56.000
Auckland still? Yeah, we're in West Harbour now. Yeah. Nice little spot on the top of

814
00:51:56.000 --> 00:52:00.800
a hill looking over all of Auckland. Nice massive view. So we can almost see Tairua.

815
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:07.440
Very cool. Good to see you, bud. Good to see you. Yeah, you'd asked a question before about,

816
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.960
you know, the friends we hang out with, the people we we touch base with and all that.

817
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:18.320
And I had my I just joined and my microphone was already unmuted and I was talking to the

818
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:23.120
boys in the room. But I had a funny little answer on that. Did anybody answer that or?

819
00:52:23.120 --> 00:52:31.360
Oh, I didn't. I didn't see it. So go for it. Share away. Yeah. So I was God showed me this

820
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:38.240
vision of the sower and it was just a colour during the day with my eyes open and he made

821
00:52:38.240 --> 00:52:48.080
me focus on the sower. And the sower is walking along a field with his leather pouch full of seed

822
00:52:48.080 --> 00:52:55.600
and his sandals on and he's walking over the the toiled soil, which is just beautiful,

823
00:52:55.600 --> 00:53:03.440
ready for planting. And I got kind of bored watching the sower take a foot and throw a

824
00:53:03.440 --> 00:53:07.520
handful, take another step, throw a handful and take another step and throw another handful.

825
00:53:08.240 --> 00:53:14.560
And I kind of said to God, yes, so what? You know, I wasn't being cheeky. I just have these great

826
00:53:14.560 --> 00:53:20.640
conversations with God and he's my friend. And so I have, you know, conversations and he says,

827
00:53:20.640 --> 00:53:26.400
well, look at the feet. So I looked at the feet and the feet of the sower took one step and another

828
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:30.320
step and another step. And I didn't think there was anything unordinary about the fact that the

829
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:38.000
steps continue and continue and continue without stopping. And I said, well, yes, so what? Because

830
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:44.000
I looked at the steps for, you know, 10 or 15 seconds. And he says, he says one question,

831
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:56.080
do they ever stop? And so he kind of freeze framed the video for me, you know, the whole

832
00:53:56.080 --> 00:54:04.320
vision for me and the sower stopped his feet and then kept throwing his very, very important

833
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:13.680
seeds out of his bag onto this one place. It was a hard rock. And then God said, up ahead.

834
00:54:14.640 --> 00:54:22.320
And my eyes instantly went up ahead. All the ones who need the resource that is in that bag.

835
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:32.400
And you are stopping in one place and trying to convince this piece of rock, you know, that it

836
00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:38.400
needs all this resource. You're wasting all your resource on this one rock. And he was actually

837
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:44.560
giving me that whole lesson because I was trying to work on a certain family member to bring her

838
00:54:44.560 --> 00:54:50.960
into the body of Christ. And I tried for 20 years and it was time to stop. And that's how he made me

839
00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:57.280
stop. But it went a bit further than just understanding God's message about the sower

840
00:54:57.280 --> 00:54:59.840
who keeps one foot ahead of the other.

841
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.720
ahead of the other ahead of the other. It's a very important

842
00:55:03.720 --> 00:55:06.960
resource that God has given us to steward, which is the seed,

843
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:12.840
which is the word that comes out of our mouth. And yeah, and so

844
00:55:12.840 --> 00:55:16.480
and so I started applying this thing, not just to the hard

845
00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:21.000
stones that I had been communicating with over the

846
00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:24.080
years to try to bring them into the body of Christ, but also

847
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:26.480
with some of the things you're doing in business and

848
00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:30.680
relationships and partnerships and things like that. And so I

849
00:55:30.680 --> 00:55:35.320
basically cut off 80% of anything in any body. It sounds

850
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:39.640
harsh, I know. But if there's no synergy, if there's no genuine

851
00:55:39.640 --> 00:55:43.160
relationship, if there's no mutual respect, if there's no

852
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:48.000
mutual alignment in the way that we think, I basically just let

853
00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:53.840
those relationships wither, if you like, and invested none of

854
00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:57.760
the seed that God gave me into them any further, and any that

855
00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:04.000
were going to be mutual in the context of what God's got for my

856
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:06.680
life, they were going to suddenly notice the

857
00:56:06.680 --> 00:56:11.520
disappearance of my input into their life, and come back with

858
00:56:11.520 --> 00:56:15.840
some form of request for further relationship. But it's amazing.

859
00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:21.280
95% of them never did. And that was a really good thing that,

860
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:26.840
you know, if a relationship is always 95% input from us, and

861
00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:31.160
maybe 0% from the other end, or 5% from the other end, is it

862
00:56:31.160 --> 00:56:34.520
worth pursuing? Is it something God wants? Is it something he

863
00:56:34.520 --> 00:56:37.520
put there? Is it something you are humanly keeping alive

864
00:56:37.560 --> 00:56:41.720
because of whatever reason? And so yeah, that whole vision of

865
00:56:41.720 --> 00:56:46.840
the sower who never stops and does not waste a single seed on

866
00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:51.520
a hard stone, but preserves his seed and stewards his seed for

867
00:56:51.560 --> 00:56:54.880
all the people and all the things that are ahead, that

868
00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:59.440
require that resource. And if you run out of your seed bag,

869
00:56:59.560 --> 00:57:03.040
you have nothing for the time up ahead. You have to go back to

870
00:57:03.040 --> 00:57:06.120
the barn, you know, and take some time out. And that could be

871
00:57:06.120 --> 00:57:09.320
really, really, really costly for the other people around you

872
00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:13.040
who need you. So anyway, I just thought I'd share that because

873
00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:18.720
that kind of was my best answer for what about the relationships

874
00:57:18.760 --> 00:57:22.520
that we have around us? Are we making sure we do not spend time

875
00:57:22.680 --> 00:57:28.400
with people who are perhaps not the right people that should be

876
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:30.560
in our lives, you know, from from God's view?

877
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:35.400
Marie, I'll come to you in a second. I just couple of follow

878
00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:39.840
up thoughts on that. Thanks, Paul. Appreciate it. And this is

879
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:48.280
this is in part like the a big yes demands a big no. And like

880
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:52.280
when you say a big yes to an assignment from heaven.

881
00:57:53.520 --> 00:57:55.840
Before you ask me to do something for you.

882
00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:02.360
There you go, Jane will mute you.

883
00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:03.680
And

884
00:58:05.720 --> 00:58:09.720
but when you say a massive yes, a massive yes.

885
00:58:11.040 --> 00:58:15.280
Has to has to be accompanied with a massive no. Otherwise,

886
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.480
it's a fake agreement. Right?

887
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:23.000
You know, Jesus told the parable about the two sons and and they

888
00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:26.840
both received an assignment and one said no, but then went and

889
00:58:26.840 --> 00:58:30.200
did it. And the other said yes, but then said no.

890
00:58:30.720 --> 00:58:34.920
You know, they were both fake agreements. But the worst one was

891
00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:39.120
the one who said yes, but then then it was a no, you know, and

892
00:58:39.120 --> 00:58:44.520
this is a fake agreement. When you say yes to God, but your yes

893
00:58:44.560 --> 00:58:49.400
isn't strong enough to back it up with the action that the yes

894
00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:55.120
demands. So that's a big. That's a big piece of the of the puzzle

895
00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:58.920
for us is having that, you know, having that yes and having a no

896
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:02.040
that's strong enough. And I just felt to share as well just on

897
00:59:02.040 --> 00:59:04.240
the back of this kind of around relationships. I went through a

898
00:59:04.240 --> 00:59:09.000
season for several years where it was just one massive betrayal

899
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:12.800
after another and kind of every, every context, lots of ministry

900
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:17.520
staff, but also, you know, business as well, massive,

901
00:59:17.520 --> 00:59:21.920
massive betrayals. And I learned a couple of things in there that

902
00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:24.800
I think are really, really helpful in this process. If

903
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:30.600
you're going through, for example, unhealthy relationships,

904
00:59:30.640 --> 00:59:33.520
and I think this is one of I think this is relevant, because

905
00:59:33.520 --> 00:59:36.600
it's really connected to average, right? In our in our

906
00:59:36.600 --> 00:59:40.160
normal circles, our average circles out our normal day to

907
00:59:40.160 --> 00:59:44.120
day, the work like the standard and the quality of relationships

908
00:59:44.160 --> 00:59:50.760
is usually, you know, pretty bad. In general, you know, like, in

909
00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:53.440
general, there's not there's not tons and tons of people that

910
00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:56.320
there's not tons and tons of people out there who have really

911
00:59:56.320 --> 01:00:00.040
good relationship skills, dysfunctional marriages.

912
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.660
are really common.

913
01:00:01.660 --> 01:00:05.440
Dysfunctional relationships in churches are really common.

914
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:09.680
Dysfunctional relationships, they're really, really common.

915
01:00:09.680 --> 01:00:14.520
So when you start like waking up to the fact that,

916
01:00:14.520 --> 01:00:17.560
you know, average is most of the time dysfunctional

917
01:00:17.560 --> 01:00:18.680
and you decide, actually,

918
01:00:18.680 --> 01:00:20.640
I want to step out of dysfunctional

919
01:00:20.640 --> 01:00:21.640
and I really want to start having

920
01:00:21.640 --> 01:00:24.080
really healthy relationships.

921
01:00:24.080 --> 01:00:27.080
For us as individuals, when you start that process,

922
01:00:27.080 --> 01:00:30.480
it actually requires us to put in new boundaries.

923
01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:33.320
For example, part of what average might look like

924
01:00:33.320 --> 01:00:35.480
is being treated badly.

925
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:40.480
Maybe you've just accepted being treated badly for 30 years.

926
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:44.360
Maybe you've just said yes.

927
01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:48.240
Maybe for whatever reason, you've actually said yes

928
01:00:48.240 --> 01:00:51.000
and you've allowed people to treat you badly,

929
01:00:51.000 --> 01:00:53.240
but you might be now like waking up to the fact that,

930
01:00:53.240 --> 01:00:54.400
actually, hang on a minute,

931
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:56.040
I'm not going to take that anymore.

932
01:00:56.560 --> 01:00:59.520
Like I am not going to tolerate being,

933
01:00:59.520 --> 01:01:02.040
I'm not going to be tolerating,

934
01:01:02.040 --> 01:01:03.320
not just being dishonored,

935
01:01:03.320 --> 01:01:06.120
I'm not going to tolerate not being celebrated.

936
01:01:06.120 --> 01:01:10.920
Do you know how useful you are in an environment

937
01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:12.560
where you're not celebrated?

938
01:01:12.560 --> 01:01:16.680
Like your potential, your capacity is crushed

939
01:01:16.680 --> 01:01:19.480
when you're in an environment where you're not celebrated.

940
01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:22.440
You know the difference when you're getting out of your car

941
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:25.480
to go somewhere where people celebrate you

942
01:01:25.480 --> 01:01:27.160
versus going somewhere where you know

943
01:01:27.160 --> 01:01:28.960
you're not celebrated.

944
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:31.560
You know, it's an instant difference.

945
01:01:31.560 --> 01:01:33.360
It's like, oh man, this is going to be bad

946
01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:35.280
or oh my goodness, I can't wait.

947
01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:38.920
Right, so, but some people,

948
01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:42.160
they've just accepted living in environments

949
01:01:42.160 --> 01:01:43.360
where they're not celebrated

950
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:44.840
and they haven't put up any boundaries

951
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:48.760
and they've just lived in this dysfunctional normal.

952
01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:51.280
Well, when you start waking up to what, you know,

953
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:53.200
like waking up to what God has for you

954
01:01:53.200 --> 01:01:54.800
on a whole other level,

955
01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:56.640
and you start waking up to your identity,

956
01:01:56.640 --> 01:01:57.560
you know, you start discovering,

957
01:01:57.560 --> 01:01:58.400
some should be like,

958
01:01:58.400 --> 01:02:00.920
actually, I'm not actually going to take it anymore.

959
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:02.360
I'm not going to be treated,

960
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:03.800
I'm not going to be treated with dishonor

961
01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:06.600
and you're going to put a healthy boundary in place.

962
01:02:06.600 --> 01:02:09.440
And when you start putting those healthy boundaries in place

963
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:11.760
like this process of transition,

964
01:02:11.760 --> 01:02:14.440
it can start getting really messy

965
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:17.360
and you might lose a lot of people.

966
01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:18.960
And like, if people have been,

967
01:02:18.960 --> 01:02:21.080
if people are dysfunctional,

968
01:02:21.080 --> 01:02:24.000
they don't want healthy mutual relationships,

969
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:27.080
then you can lose a lot of people in the process

970
01:02:27.080 --> 01:02:28.880
just simply by drawing the line of like,

971
01:02:28.880 --> 01:02:30.720
actually, here's a healthy boundary.

972
01:02:30.720 --> 01:02:34.400
And then all the people who don't have healthy intentions,

973
01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:36.640
healthy agendas, healthy boundaries,

974
01:02:36.640 --> 01:02:38.000
when they come up against that,

975
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:39.320
they're going to create chaos.

976
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:42.240
So your world can start actually looking really messy

977
01:02:42.240 --> 01:02:44.160
when you start transitioning.

978
01:02:44.160 --> 01:02:47.280
So that's one line, right?

979
01:02:48.840 --> 01:02:50.680
Of what I want to share.

980
01:02:50.680 --> 01:02:52.920
It's slightly different on the betrayal side of things

981
01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:54.160
because most of these people

982
01:02:54.160 --> 01:02:57.240
were actually quite high level kingdom people,

983
01:02:57.240 --> 01:03:00.200
people who'd been like internationally known

984
01:03:00.200 --> 01:03:01.040
and all sorts of things like that

985
01:03:01.040 --> 01:03:03.320
and had really good reputations

986
01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:08.240
and then those guys betraying you real bad.

987
01:03:09.600 --> 01:03:11.560
It's like, oh man, this hurts.

988
01:03:11.560 --> 01:03:13.800
So one thing I learned about that

989
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:16.680
is the beauty of betrayal, right?

990
01:03:16.680 --> 01:03:20.480
The beauty of betrayal is really only seen on the cross.

991
01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:24.160
And this is one of the most missing understandings

992
01:03:24.160 --> 01:03:28.000
of the cross is that Jesus came to reveal the father

993
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:29.040
and the whole way through,

994
01:03:29.040 --> 01:03:30.920
Jesus was a revelation of the father

995
01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:35.400
and the cross was the pinnacle revelation of the father.

996
01:03:35.400 --> 01:03:36.360
People often miss this.

997
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:39.480
They think that somehow Jesus was revealing the father,

998
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:40.960
revealing the father, he gets to the cross

999
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.680
and now he's changing God's attitude somehow.

1000
01:03:43.680 --> 01:03:44.840
He's not.

1001
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:47.200
The beauty of betrayal is seen in the cross

1002
01:03:47.200 --> 01:03:51.120
because even in the midst of being hated,

1003
01:03:51.120 --> 01:03:54.120
despised, betrayed, all of that,

1004
01:03:54.120 --> 01:03:56.000
Jesus doesn't withdraw love.

1005
01:03:57.280 --> 01:03:58.120
And why is that?

1006
01:03:58.120 --> 01:04:00.920
The reason for that is that the reason,

1007
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:02.640
one of the major reasons for the cross

1008
01:04:02.640 --> 01:04:04.200
and why the cross was required

1009
01:04:04.200 --> 01:04:09.200
is because it takes the greatest expression of hatred

1010
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:13.200
to reveal the full power of love.

1011
01:04:14.120 --> 01:04:14.960
Wow.

1012
01:04:15.120 --> 01:04:18.320
It takes the greatest expression of hatred

1013
01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:20.320
to reveal the full power of love.

1014
01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:24.360
If love isn't in the face of extreme hatred,

1015
01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:25.720
it hasn't been tested.

1016
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:30.000
So on the cross, what you see on the cross

1017
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:32.680
is you see the greatest revelation of the father

1018
01:04:32.680 --> 01:04:35.040
because it's one of the greatest expressions of hatred

1019
01:04:35.040 --> 01:04:36.920
the world has ever seen.

1020
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:40.040
And in that, that was the only context

1021
01:04:40.040 --> 01:04:42.920
where love really had the opportunity to flex its muscle

1022
01:04:43.320 --> 01:04:47.480
and demonstrate how powerful love really is.

1023
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:52.480
And so one of the major, like, don't be surprised, right?

1024
01:04:52.680 --> 01:04:54.240
If you, when you start coming out of average,

1025
01:04:54.240 --> 01:04:55.880
you start going up to heaven's finest,

1026
01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:57.440
don't be surprised if you go through

1027
01:04:57.440 --> 01:04:59.480
a massive season of betrayal.

1028
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.200
betrayal, of lost relationships, of brokenness, of being despised,

1029
01:05:04.200 --> 01:05:08.400
of being an outcast, of being, you know, like, just talked

1030
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:10.800
about behind your back and people just, you know, like

1031
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:14.200
throwing a lot of junk at you. Don't be surprised by that,

1032
01:05:14.200 --> 01:05:18.000
because it's the process of the beauty of betrayal, and it's a

1033
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:22.600
love test. And that is actually a massive part of the process

1034
01:05:22.600 --> 01:05:25.600
of your assignment. It's a part of the like, the stewardship

1035
01:05:25.600 --> 01:05:29.200
element of your life is, how will you steward, you know,

1036
01:05:29.200 --> 01:05:33.000
like, can you, can you, if someone cuts you, can you bleed

1037
01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:37.200
love? And this is one of the massive ways to activate

1038
01:05:37.200 --> 01:05:40.800
immense favor on your life, is if someone cuts you, bleed

1039
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:45.600
love. So I wanted to share that off the back of it. Here's

1040
01:05:45.600 --> 01:05:48.200
the last lesson that I learned out of that season, right, is

1041
01:05:48.200 --> 01:05:51.600
that a man can receive only what he's given from heaven.

1042
01:05:53.500 --> 01:05:57.100
Relationships are going to come and go. Resources are going

1043
01:05:57.100 --> 01:06:01.000
to come and go, right? But heaven, like, your portion is

1044
01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:05.400
secure. And often mindset doesn't realize that your portion

1045
01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:08.600
is secure. But someone who understands Sonship realizes

1046
01:06:08.600 --> 01:06:13.800
that your portion is secure. No man can take from you what

1047
01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:18.300
God has assigned to you in this season. Everything that you

1048
01:06:18.300 --> 01:06:23.100
have need of in the season, you have. And when you have

1049
01:06:23.100 --> 01:06:27.800
that concreted in as an understanding, when you have

1050
01:06:27.800 --> 01:06:31.100
that concreted in as a mindset that you, you know, a man

1051
01:06:31.100 --> 01:06:36.400
receives, can receive only what he's given from heaven.

1052
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:39.900
There's actually massive security and peace in there

1053
01:06:39.900 --> 01:06:42.200
because you're like, sweet, you know, my portion is secure.

1054
01:06:42.600 --> 01:06:47.400
My inheritance is secure. My provision is secure. So even

1055
01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:49.800
if people are betraying you, even if you're losing

1056
01:06:49.800 --> 01:06:52.600
relationships, left, right and center, even if your

1057
01:06:52.600 --> 01:06:56.100
resources seem to be dwindling, it doesn't, you're actually

1058
01:06:56.100 --> 01:06:58.600
totally secure. You're like, no, a man can receive only

1059
01:06:58.600 --> 01:07:01.200
what he's given from heaven. And my portion is more than

1060
01:07:01.200 --> 01:07:04.900
enough. But an orphan gets really upset, really scared,

1061
01:07:04.900 --> 01:07:08.100
tries to fight, tries to protect, tries to hold, tries

1062
01:07:08.100 --> 01:07:11.100
to like, protect their pets, tries to do all this stuff

1063
01:07:11.100 --> 01:07:13.500
in their own strength and like, stresses out. Whereas

1064
01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:17.800
a son's relaxed, trusting, still postured in the place

1065
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:20.200
of delight. And then they see the massive favor break

1066
01:07:20.200 --> 01:07:25.000
out off the back of it. So that's just a couple of

1067
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:30.600
thoughts that I wanted to share off the back. One last

1068
01:07:30.600 --> 01:07:33.300
thing, I'll hold it. We'll say that for another time.

1069
01:07:33.300 --> 01:07:34.900
We'll go to Marie. Marie, you had your hand up.

1070
01:07:34.900 --> 01:07:35.600
Where have you gone?

1071
01:07:37.600 --> 01:07:41.200
I was just going to say, when the gentleman was

1072
01:07:41.200 --> 01:07:44.700
talking about, he kept throwing that seed on the rock

1073
01:07:45.600 --> 01:07:48.200
when he had his vision, you know, one verse that my

1074
01:07:48.200 --> 01:07:52.500
mom always used to tell me is like, don't, don't throw

1075
01:07:52.500 --> 01:07:55.000
your pearls into swine and don't give dogs what is

1076
01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:59.900
sacred. And so that really kind of came into my mind

1077
01:07:59.900 --> 01:08:03.100
when he was talking about that. And you know, I used

1078
01:08:03.100 --> 01:08:06.600
to be the same way, just kind of sticking there, you

1079
01:08:06.600 --> 01:08:08.700
know, thinking if you keep watering, keep watering,

1080
01:08:08.700 --> 01:08:12.400
it's going to grow. But their soil might not be that

1081
01:08:12.400 --> 01:08:16.100
type of soil. Because if you look, even in the Bible,

1082
01:08:16.399 --> 01:08:19.700
the people that came to Jesus came to Jesus of a free

1083
01:08:19.700 --> 01:08:24.100
will, you know, and so I've kind of had to go through

1084
01:08:24.100 --> 01:08:27.500
that transition as well to where I have to accept if

1085
01:08:27.500 --> 01:08:30.300
people want what I have to offer the, you know, the

1086
01:08:30.300 --> 01:08:33.600
God in me, they'll be accepting of it. If not, what

1087
01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:38.800
I do on a continuous basis is I pray that God will

1088
01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:43.100
remove anybody from my life that he hasn't sent because

1089
01:08:43.100 --> 01:08:45.500
it's real funny how I always be like, oh, God works

1090
01:08:45.500 --> 01:08:48.600
mysterious ways, you know, this person, that person,

1091
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:50.700
but then I had to realize, you know, some of these

1092
01:08:50.700 --> 01:08:53.100
people aren't being sent by God. Some of these people

1093
01:08:53.100 --> 01:08:58.200
are sent to set you up and trip you up and you can't

1094
01:08:58.200 --> 01:09:01.200
go forward and go backwards at the same time. And

1095
01:09:01.200 --> 01:09:04.200
so I would notice that when I would cut people out

1096
01:09:04.200 --> 01:09:04.899
of my life.

1097
01:09:08.700 --> 01:09:10.200
You've muted yourself. Sorry, Marie.

1098
01:09:11.800 --> 01:09:14.500
The favor we need. So I just wanted to share that

1099
01:09:14.500 --> 01:09:17.700
real quick. Yeah, that's beautiful. Thank you for

1100
01:09:17.700 --> 01:09:22.899
sharing. Yeah, great stuff. I will say like, I don't

1101
01:09:22.899 --> 01:09:24.800
know if you guys noticed this, but one of the

1102
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:28.100
declarations that I, that's one of the things that's

1103
01:09:28.100 --> 01:09:29.800
in my declarations is a declaration around the

1104
01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:32.200
blood of Jesus protecting everything that I have

1105
01:09:32.200 --> 01:09:34.399
around me, my family, my business, everything. I

1106
01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:36.600
just make a declaration, you know, that the blood

1107
01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:40.100
of Jesus will protect from, you know, from satanic

1108
01:09:40.100 --> 01:09:42.899
strategies, satanic assignments. There's a book,

1109
01:09:42.899 --> 01:09:45.800
I think it's called Came to Set the Captives Free

1110
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:50.000
from a lady who is high level witchcraft. And one

1111
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:51.600
of the things that she understood is, you know,

1112
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:54.500
like she was sent into a church to destroy it,

1113
01:09:54.500 --> 01:09:56.100
you know, like that's what they were often doing

1114
01:09:56.100 --> 01:09:58.400
and then different, and I'm not sure if this is

1115
01:09:58.400 --> 01:10:00.100
from that book or not.

1116
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.680
but they would often you know the covens would often astral project right they would astral

1117
01:10:05.680 --> 01:10:14.000
project over people places areas to go and set up curses in the spirit but if something had actually

1118
01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:20.160
had the blood of jesus declared around it it became a force field in the spirit and the satanic realm

1119
01:10:20.160 --> 01:10:24.720
had no access to it they couldn't go there they couldn't touch it and so i just wanted to say

1120
01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:31.200
off the back of that marie yeah because oftentimes the way that an enemy assignment will be setting

1121
01:10:31.200 --> 01:10:39.200
you up is through a person who is sent to destroy you you know it'll it'll come as an angel of light

1122
01:10:39.200 --> 01:10:43.200
but then you know it's actually set up to destroy you so one of the things that you can actually do

1123
01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:49.120
to protect yourself from that is in your daily declarations framing a future where the

1124
01:10:49.120 --> 01:10:54.160
supernatural world you know like the blood of jesus the angelic realm are protecting you from

1125
01:10:54.160 --> 01:10:59.360
all satanic assignments and strategies and agendas before they even happen and you can

1126
01:10:59.360 --> 01:11:06.800
actually neutralize a lot of satanic assignments against your life before they even happen um yeah

1127
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:12.160
which is which again right just understanding that and doing that is what what is that again

1128
01:11:12.160 --> 01:11:16.240
that's just another level of stewardship right and heaven goes off look they've got their act

1129
01:11:16.240 --> 01:11:20.960
together so stewardship always attracts favor it doesn't matter what area of your life you're

1130
01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:28.240
stewarding well right when you're stewarding your life well it attracts favor um but i'll

1131
01:11:28.240 --> 01:11:33.360
chuck in there as well that every spiritual discipline can bring life or death the first

1132
01:11:33.360 --> 01:11:39.520
example being fasting that's the easiest one to realize it pretty soon you know like fasting has

1133
01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:44.480
the power of life and death um you can you know prayer has the power of life and death if it's not

1134
01:11:44.480 --> 01:11:50.080
in balance right so stewardship you know like if all i did for stewardship was just go to the gym

1135
01:11:50.080 --> 01:11:58.000
and never pray well you know like i'm gonna be out of balance so stewardship even the concept

1136
01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:02.880
of stewardship requires stewardship which looks like balance so karen you've got your hand up

1137
01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:12.240
let's jump to you hi um i was just thinking how uh the importance of um speaking life

1138
01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:18.000
too yeah there's we know that the scripture says that there's power in the tongue

1139
01:12:19.520 --> 01:12:26.560
i was thinking of a situation where i'm helping someone purchase a piece of uh land in nigeria

1140
01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:37.520
and um the landowner gave us um an opportunity to buy just to purchase half of it like to or

1141
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:46.480
to purchase it all but come up with only the funds for half of it and the landowner said that

1142
01:12:46.480 --> 01:12:55.360
they they could clear the bush but they couldn't plant and every time i hear the other my friends

1143
01:12:55.360 --> 01:13:04.080
speak of that i think i think only the positive i only think what god thinks and that is god will

1144
01:13:04.080 --> 01:13:11.680
have the last laugh that's what comes out of my mouth as in like he may think that he's not

1145
01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:18.640
going to let him plant the land and i'm believing that we will be able to come up with that he will

1146
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:26.000
be able to come up with the money to complete the transaction for the landowner but whenever

1147
01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:33.760
something comes against us like which is not to fulfill the plans and purposes that god has

1148
01:13:35.280 --> 01:13:43.120
i think it's really really important to side to agree or partner with what god is saying

1149
01:13:44.160 --> 01:13:50.480
that's just all i wanted to say 100 thanks karen and uh yeah all about that and that's

1150
01:13:50.480 --> 01:13:56.240
why you always hear me talking about daily declarations is there's so many there's so

1151
01:13:56.240 --> 01:14:02.560
many value points that come from daily declarations right because i talked uh you know this week about

1152
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:08.400
having vision events right and one vision event that i've done is set time aside to create daily

1153
01:14:08.400 --> 01:14:16.160
declarations that are in harmony with my wildest dreams so i've got all these declarations that

1154
01:14:16.160 --> 01:14:21.120
are connected to my wildest dreams that come out of a vision event so then i frame these declarations

1155
01:14:21.120 --> 01:14:25.280
up i've got these declarations and every time i'm making these declarations like every day when i'm

1156
01:14:25.280 --> 01:14:31.520
making these declarations what's in my mind my wildest dreams whereas most people how often do

1157
01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:37.360
they even think about their wildest dreams and it creates an opportunity as well for me in that

1158
01:14:37.360 --> 01:14:43.280
moment sometimes i just go wow i just pause on one of the declarations just imagine it coming to

1159
01:14:43.280 --> 01:14:50.720
fruition i'm just like whoa that is huge which brings in one of those one of the tips i gave you

1160
01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:56.640
yesterday it was so powerful um the ability to harvest passion and understanding how you can

1161
01:14:56.640 --> 01:14:59.760
harvest passion you know like if you

1162
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:02.400
Whoever struggles, who struggles with motivation?

1163
01:15:03.800 --> 01:15:05.000
Everybody does.

1164
01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:05.840
Yeah, totally.

1165
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:09.720
Like motivation, well, motivation,

1166
01:15:09.720 --> 01:15:11.560
you have to steward that, you know?

1167
01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:15.320
Like motivation is something that you have to,

1168
01:15:15.320 --> 01:15:17.480
you have to look after that because it dies.

1169
01:15:17.480 --> 01:15:19.880
It doesn't matter who you are, how excited you are.

1170
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:21.720
I'm a pretty excitable character,

1171
01:15:23.160 --> 01:15:25.760
but a lot of people don't realize that I'm so excited

1172
01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:27.960
about everything that I'm doing.

1173
01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:28.920
A lot of people just think,

1174
01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:30.520
oh, maybe that's just in his nature.

1175
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:32.680
No, that's not my nature at all.

1176
01:15:33.640 --> 01:15:35.960
My nature is like, you know, like most people,

1177
01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:40.960
you're just, what's normal is just like being discouraged.

1178
01:15:41.160 --> 01:15:42.960
You know, that's average, that's normal.

1179
01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:46.400
Being exhilarated and being on fire

1180
01:15:46.400 --> 01:15:50.200
and being more excited now than you've ever been

1181
01:15:50.200 --> 01:15:52.480
and you feel like you've been excited for a long time,

1182
01:15:52.480 --> 01:15:54.760
but all of a sudden it's like your level of excitement

1183
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:57.080
and exhilaration is just going from glory to glory.

1184
01:15:57.120 --> 01:16:00.880
That's just, that doesn't just happen by accident, right?

1185
01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:02.600
That happens through stewardship

1186
01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:04.880
and understanding how to steward passion.

1187
01:16:06.320 --> 01:16:09.560
And so, and the cool thing about that is passion

1188
01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:13.040
is one of your most, single most valuable resources.

1189
01:16:13.040 --> 01:16:14.760
Now, if you've lost your passion,

1190
01:16:16.080 --> 01:16:18.400
if you don't have a burning desire for something,

1191
01:16:18.400 --> 01:16:21.680
then track it down, right?

1192
01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:22.960
Track it down.

1193
01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:24.600
And one of the ways that you're gonna track that down

1194
01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:28.120
is that activation I did with you guys yesterday,

1195
01:16:28.120 --> 01:16:32.040
which is, you're looking at your wildest dreams.

1196
01:16:32.040 --> 01:16:34.880
So there's a lot to it, you know, like you can actually,

1197
01:16:34.880 --> 01:16:36.560
I think sometimes people just want everything

1198
01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:38.280
just to happen and it doesn't work like that.

1199
01:16:38.280 --> 01:16:41.120
It actually really requires a lot of time.

1200
01:16:41.120 --> 01:16:41.960
Yeah, it does.

1201
01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:43.920
It requires a lot of time to dream.

1202
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:45.720
And people say, oh, I don't have time,

1203
01:16:45.720 --> 01:16:47.320
just what are you doing, daydreaming?

1204
01:16:47.320 --> 01:16:51.200
It's like, actually you have no idea of the value

1205
01:16:51.200 --> 01:16:54.760
and the power of what comes out

1206
01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:56.600
of me setting aside time to dream.

1207
01:16:57.960 --> 01:17:00.720
Like one idea, just one single idea

1208
01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:01.800
that might come out of a time

1209
01:17:01.800 --> 01:17:04.120
that I've set aside for dreaming

1210
01:17:04.120 --> 01:17:07.520
can end up like revolutionizing my world.

1211
01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:09.560
It's like, whoa, this is amazing.

1212
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:11.800
So passion, right?

1213
01:17:11.800 --> 01:17:13.640
Take one of your wildest dreams.

1214
01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:15.360
Who's got something here that they would say,

1215
01:17:15.360 --> 01:17:17.640
yeah, this would qualify as one of my wildest dreams.

1216
01:17:17.640 --> 01:17:18.480
Or who's just like, no,

1217
01:17:18.480 --> 01:17:20.400
I've got no dreams that are exciting.

1218
01:17:21.240 --> 01:17:22.880
So put your hand up if you've got no dreams

1219
01:17:22.880 --> 01:17:24.120
that are exciting at all.

1220
01:17:26.200 --> 01:17:27.240
Is there anyone here?

1221
01:17:27.240 --> 01:17:28.480
There's a couple of screens, so I'm just checking.

1222
01:17:28.480 --> 01:17:29.520
Is there anyone here who's like,

1223
01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:30.800
I've got no exciting dreams.

1224
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.960
Paul, no exciting dreams at all?

1225
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:35.520
Yeah, at the moment, none, no.

1226
01:17:35.520 --> 01:17:38.400
At the moment, none, no exciting dreams.

1227
01:17:38.400 --> 01:17:39.800
Now guys, I'm sorry,

1228
01:17:39.800 --> 01:17:43.280
but I'm gonna do a bit of a Jeremy Kyle moment here

1229
01:17:43.280 --> 01:17:44.600
and I'm gonna expose to you

1230
01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:47.320
how Paul's lying to himself and to us, all right?

1231
01:17:47.320 --> 01:17:51.080
We love Paul, but let me just show you.

1232
01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:53.680
Because this is a real common thing,

1233
01:17:53.680 --> 01:17:57.720
but let me just show you how everyone has dreams

1234
01:17:57.720 --> 01:18:00.120
and wildest dreams, all right?

1235
01:18:00.120 --> 01:18:05.120
So the easiest way to answer this question,

1236
01:18:05.120 --> 01:18:07.240
and if you want to actually start,

1237
01:18:09.960 --> 01:18:11.760
like the 100 Dreams Challenge, for example.

1238
01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:13.040
If I've got people,

1239
01:18:13.040 --> 01:18:15.280
because I've made the 100 Dreams Challenge

1240
01:18:15.280 --> 01:18:16.880
a requirement for over a decade.

1241
01:18:16.880 --> 01:18:20.480
Everything I've ever done has required people to,

1242
01:18:20.920 --> 01:18:22.560
for the last 10, 15 years,

1243
01:18:22.560 --> 01:18:24.600
if people want to graduate any of my courses,

1244
01:18:24.600 --> 01:18:27.240
they always have to do the 100 Dreams Challenge.

1245
01:18:27.240 --> 01:18:28.920
And it's like, you don't do that?

1246
01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:30.040
Like, well, stuff you.

1247
01:18:30.040 --> 01:18:33.240
I don't care if you've done two years of training,

1248
01:18:33.240 --> 01:18:35.480
having to front it up with a 100 Dreams Challenge,

1249
01:18:35.480 --> 01:18:38.600
like you get nothing, so just do it.

1250
01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:40.840
But then people will have all sorts of justifications

1251
01:18:40.840 --> 01:18:43.160
and excuses for why they can't come up with 100 Dreams.

1252
01:18:43.160 --> 01:18:45.000
And I've seen some of the most like,

1253
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:49.480
low-level thinking people that I know

1254
01:18:49.480 --> 01:18:50.440
that have been students,

1255
01:18:50.440 --> 01:18:53.080
because you always have a spectrum of students,

1256
01:18:53.080 --> 01:18:54.840
but I've seen every student

1257
01:18:54.840 --> 01:18:57.040
complete the 100 Dreams Challenge.

1258
01:18:57.040 --> 01:18:58.360
Yeah.

1259
01:18:58.360 --> 01:19:00.880
So here's how I'm going to like,

1260
01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:05.880
help activate Paul for helping him just become aware

1261
01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:08.720
the fact that he's got a bunch of wild dreams.

1262
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:10.600
And you guys can do the same, okay?

1263
01:19:10.600 --> 01:19:13.160
So the way to track down your wildest dreams

1264
01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:16.240
is to ask the second most important question

1265
01:19:16.240 --> 01:19:19.960
that you'll ever ask, which is this, what do I want?

1266
01:19:22.320 --> 01:19:24.520
First most important question is, who am I?

1267
01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:26.240
And your second most important question in life

1268
01:19:26.240 --> 01:19:28.200
is, what do I want?

1269
01:19:28.200 --> 01:19:30.720
Now, people get themselves in a lot of trouble in life

1270
01:19:30.720 --> 01:19:33.400
because they never really thought about what they want.

1271
01:19:33.400 --> 01:19:36.800
Now, these are two topics

1272
01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:39.480
that you should be an absolute master of.

1273
01:19:39.480 --> 01:19:41.680
You know, like, before anything else in life,

1274
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:45.280
devote yourself to answering these two questions

1275
01:19:45.280 --> 01:19:48.360
at a PhD level, all right?

1276
01:19:48.360 --> 01:19:50.360
First one is, who am I?

1277
01:19:50.360 --> 01:19:52.280
Which you should ultimately come to the conclusion

1278
01:19:52.280 --> 01:19:54.720
that you're exclusively defined by Christ,

1279
01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:58.000
you're perfect, you're made in the image of God,

1280
01:19:58.000 --> 01:20:00.040
which will set you up for seamless union.

1281
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.480
effortless bliss and everything in the spiritual realm that you want flows out from answering that

1282
01:20:04.480 --> 01:20:13.760
question well. Who am I? You're a son of God. Okay, second question. You want to have answered

1283
01:20:13.760 --> 01:20:18.880
this question at a PhD level if you want to master life. And if you want to dream with God,

1284
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:22.400
you've got to answer this question well, which is, what do I want? Now people go,

1285
01:20:22.400 --> 01:20:26.960
I don't know what I want. So break it down. Just break it down to start with.

1286
01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:31.600
Here's how we're going to break it down. We're going to break it down to seven areas. So first

1287
01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:38.720
of all, what do you want in the area of your faith? I'm going to give you seven Fs. So get

1288
01:20:38.720 --> 01:20:46.320
ready for seven Fs, seven F bombs to help you dream. First one is faith. What do you want in

1289
01:20:46.320 --> 01:20:52.080
the area of faith? Do you want to walk on water? Do you want to live with dominion over the

1290
01:20:52.080 --> 01:20:58.640
spiritual and the supernatural? Do you want to live from heaven to earth? Do you want seamless

1291
01:20:58.640 --> 01:21:07.200
union? Do you want to transfigure? Do you want to fly? What do you want? So there is stuff,

1292
01:21:07.200 --> 01:21:11.840
I guarantee for all of us here, there is stuff that you want in the area of your faith.

1293
01:21:14.560 --> 01:21:20.000
Do you want awakening to break out on the planet? Do you want to see Shekinah glory habitations? Do

1294
01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:24.720
you want to see outpourings? Do you want to see the atmosphere of heaven go before you everywhere

1295
01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:30.160
you go? Do you want to live in an open heaven? See, there's a lot of depth just to that one

1296
01:21:31.200 --> 01:21:36.560
question there. And I guarantee is if you just say like, hey, can you, if you could,

1297
01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:44.320
so this would be how I would set someone up to succeed in completing the 100 dreams list.

1298
01:21:44.320 --> 01:21:48.640
As I say, right answer, give me 10 things that you want in your faith, in the area of your faith.

1299
01:21:48.640 --> 01:21:52.560
And most of the time, once they get start answering it, there's way more than 10 things

1300
01:21:52.560 --> 01:22:00.800
that they want in the area. All right, you're ready for the next one. Family. What do you want

1301
01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:08.080
in the area of family? Paul, let me ask you this. Do you want a completely dysfunctional relationship

1302
01:22:08.080 --> 01:22:16.640
with your children? No, no. Is there anyone here who would like a really amazing marriage?

1303
01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:24.160
It's a couple, right? Okay. So what do you want in the area of your family? And this is where you

1304
01:22:24.160 --> 01:22:27.680
can actually push the limits, you know, like in all of these areas, you can push the limits a

1305
01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:33.680
little bit. And the great thing about Ephesians 320 is that it's a permission slip, right?

1306
01:22:33.680 --> 01:22:40.240
God's already given you a permission slip to try and outdream him. And he said, you know, like,

1307
01:22:40.240 --> 01:22:47.600
if you can dream it, it's already too small. So whack it on the list. So, you know, what do you,

1308
01:22:47.600 --> 01:22:50.720
what do you want for the future of your kids? What do you want for the next generation?

1309
01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:54.160
What do you want in five generations to come for your family? What do you want in their

1310
01:22:54.160 --> 01:22:57.760
quality of life? What do you want? You know, what do you want for the education? What do you want

1311
01:22:57.760 --> 01:23:01.040
for their future relationships? What do you want for their mental health? What do you know? So

1312
01:23:01.040 --> 01:23:06.080
family, we got faith, we got family, we got fitness. And what do you want in the area of

1313
01:23:06.080 --> 01:23:10.960
health and fitness? Do you want, do you want to find those abs that might've been hiding?

1314
01:23:11.840 --> 01:23:16.960
Um, do you, um, do you want to be fitter, faster, and stronger than ever before? Yes.

1315
01:23:18.240 --> 01:23:23.520
Who, who thinks that they're just not interested in, if God said to you, if God came to you and

1316
01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:27.680
said, Hey, just quietly, would you like to be fitter, faster, and stronger than ever before

1317
01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:34.480
in your life? Yes. How would you respond? Yes. Yeah, totally. I'd be like, yeah, totally. That's

1318
01:23:34.480 --> 01:23:40.560
on one of my daily declarations, you know, like my family and I live in divine health and we are

1319
01:23:40.560 --> 01:23:46.560
fitter, faster, and stronger than ever before. Right. So yeah, of course I want to be fitter,

1320
01:23:46.560 --> 01:23:51.040
faster, and stronger than ever before. A hundred percent. So health and fitness,

1321
01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:58.320
it's easy to start getting dreams there. Um, and then finances who wants to be just so flat broke,

1322
01:23:59.200 --> 01:24:06.240
um, that you can't afford to eat. Hey, you can't even afford a cup to put free water in

1323
01:24:07.200 --> 01:24:12.720
who wants that, right? No. Or who wants to be, you know, like proverbs, uh, righteous,

1324
01:24:13.280 --> 01:24:17.280
you know, a righteous man or a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children.

1325
01:24:18.480 --> 01:24:22.560
Uh, who wants to have wealth that disciples nations? I do.

1326
01:24:24.240 --> 01:24:29.200
Let's have wealth that disciples nations. And then who wants to have

1327
01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:36.560
like multiple income streams. Yeah. A hundred percent. I want multiple income streams. You know,

1328
01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:44.160
who wants to, who wants to flip the script on the entire financial institution, right. That is

1329
01:24:44.160 --> 01:24:48.960
actually corrupt and designed to produce lack on the earth. Who wants to flip the script for that

1330
01:24:48.960 --> 01:24:56.640
rediscover a heavenly model that produces abundance for everyone. Yay. Absolutely. Okay.

1331
01:24:56.640 --> 01:24:59.840
So finances, we've got some dreams there. Fun. Is there anyone?

1332
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:04.960
here who's just had too much fun, they're like, I'm over it. I'm just, I'm done. No more, please.

1333
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:08.480
Count me out. If there's fun happening on the planet, I'm not interested.

1334
01:25:10.160 --> 01:25:14.400
Or who's like, yeah, man, I could totally handle some more fun. Who feels like I might have just

1335
01:25:14.400 --> 01:25:20.800
been neglecting my fun levels a little bit. So fun, like dream into area of fun. Like,

1336
01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:27.200
what do you want to do for fun? And then fellowship, right? Fellowship. When I referred

1337
01:25:27.200 --> 01:25:30.320
to fellowship, you could think of Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring.

1338
01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:35.840
The Fellowship of the Ring, what was that? That was a group of people who had an assignment to

1339
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:44.480
save the planet. Who is in your fellowship, right? Who are the people that are in your fellowship?

1340
01:25:44.480 --> 01:25:49.040
Who are the people that you are collaborating with, working together with to fulfill the

1341
01:25:49.040 --> 01:25:56.320
mandate to disciple nations? Who's in your fellowship? Yeah. And then the last one,

1342
01:25:56.320 --> 01:26:03.600
the last F is future. It's just like that future one is just an open ticket, right? Like to dream.

1343
01:26:04.160 --> 01:26:08.640
What do you want your future to look like in any area? Like draw pictures of what you want the

1344
01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:14.720
future to look like. If there's anything that you've missed for your future, for career,

1345
01:26:14.720 --> 01:26:21.280
for involvement, like just anything, where you want to live, things on your bucket list,

1346
01:26:21.280 --> 01:26:29.120
anything at all. So if you missed one, here's the seven again. We've got faith,

1347
01:26:29.920 --> 01:26:41.680
we've got fitness, we've got family, so faith, family, fitness, finances,

1348
01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:49.280
fun, fellowship, and future. Your seven F bombs to change the world.

1349
01:26:52.240 --> 01:27:00.480
Sweet. So Paul, let me ask you now, is there anything in there, as we talked about that,

1350
01:27:00.480 --> 01:27:05.360
is there anything in there that you've actually got a desire for? All of it. Yeah, all of it.

1351
01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:12.640
I keep these things perpetually in my mind, but there's a lot of things we've been knocked back

1352
01:27:12.640 --> 01:27:20.320
on recently. I had a fantastic year with fellowship, fantastic year with just so many

1353
01:27:20.320 --> 01:27:26.720
things that's been off the scale. I'm sitting here crippled from some nerve damage at the moment. So

1354
01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:32.480
I've had to shut the business down and stop everything. And my dream is to get well right

1355
01:27:32.480 --> 01:27:38.800
now. And so all those other things, it's wrong to say I'm putting them on hold, but I cannot do

1356
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:45.680
them while I'm bed bound, chair bound. And so it's a bit of just a bit of a freaky time psychologically

1357
01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:52.880
working out where the future is from here. If this doesn't get better soon, because it's a little

1358
01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:56.400
L3 nerve controlling the leg and it's just exploded my whole body up into

1359
01:27:57.200 --> 01:28:03.040
unreal pain anyway. So yeah, so I do have all these things, all seven of them. I have the seven,

1360
01:28:03.040 --> 01:28:07.760
number seven future. I haven't thought there's a few little things on the dream radar, if you

1361
01:28:07.760 --> 01:28:12.880
want to call them dreams. And yeah, really, really good reminder to put them in that list,

1362
01:28:12.880 --> 01:28:19.520
which is fantastic. So all of them I have there in various scales of attention. Yeah, answer.

1363
01:28:20.320 --> 01:28:27.120
Brilliant. And, you know, like when you get a massive life blindside like that is a brilliant

1364
01:28:27.120 --> 01:28:33.120
moment, right? To ask a couple of questions like, Holy Spirit, did this surprise you?

1365
01:28:34.080 --> 01:28:39.200
No. And I mean, you'll be well, you'll be well onto this already. But

1366
01:28:41.360 --> 01:28:44.480
let me give you guys a couple of empowering questions to ask.

1367
01:28:45.440 --> 01:28:50.880
So let's look at the state of affairs on the planet, right? Planet Earth is in chaos.

1368
01:28:51.440 --> 01:28:57.040
And now we're going to do a little interview with the Holy Spirit on things. So Holy Spirit,

1369
01:28:57.040 --> 01:29:00.960
here we go. We're going to put the Holy Spirit, do a little interview. Hi, Holy Spirit. We're here

1370
01:29:00.960 --> 01:29:05.200
with planet Earth and all of humanity. And we're just wondering what's going on. Obviously, you

1371
01:29:05.200 --> 01:29:09.760
can see all the chaos here. Now, Holy Spirit, let me ask you one question to start with that.

1372
01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:14.480
How disappointed are you and how things are going? What's your on a scale of one to 10,

1373
01:29:14.480 --> 01:29:20.000
Holy Spirit? How's your disappointment? Your level of disappointment that you're feeling right now?

1374
01:29:22.320 --> 01:29:29.200
Who thinks Holy Spirit will be feeling disappointed right now? No. Okay, Holy Spirit.

1375
01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:35.280
You know, like, how depressed? Let me just reframe that question for you, Holy Spirit.

1376
01:29:35.280 --> 01:29:43.360
How depressed are you right now? Okay, Holy Spirit. Right. You seem awfully, you know,

1377
01:29:43.360 --> 01:29:48.880
not disappointed, awfully not depressed. Let me just try and understand you a little bit more.

1378
01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:53.440
Holy Spirit, how much hope do you have right now for the future of the world?

1379
01:29:53.440 --> 01:29:59.520
Massive. On a one to 10 scale? 11. You know, so.

1380
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:06.960
here's the thing, right? The mind of Christ. This is what normal life should look like for

1381
01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:13.760
Christians is the mind of Christ. I call average, like I would say the average Christianity is

1382
01:30:13.760 --> 01:30:19.440
light years away from the mind of Christ. And that's one reason why I hate average so much

1383
01:30:19.440 --> 01:30:25.840
is because average is not our friend. Average betrays us all the time. Average has come to rob,

1384
01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:30.960
kill, and destroy. You could give it another name if you want, but if its function is to rob,

1385
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:39.360
kill, and destroy, is that really your friend? Reminds me of someone else who comes to rob,

1386
01:30:39.360 --> 01:30:45.280
kill, and destroy, right? You could say average thinking comes to rob, kill, and destroy,

1387
01:30:45.280 --> 01:30:50.160
but the renewed mind, you're right, comes to give you the abundant life.

1388
01:30:51.120 --> 01:30:57.280
Average thinking comes to rob, kill, and destroy. So when I hear Christians and pastors and churches

1389
01:30:57.280 --> 01:31:01.440
and just anyone, it doesn't matter who people are, but when I hear people just

1390
01:31:03.680 --> 01:31:10.800
preaching average, I'm just like, oh, it just turns my stomach because people are so indoctrinated

1391
01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:17.440
already with average being an acceptable thing. And I'm like, average is not acceptable. Average

1392
01:31:17.520 --> 01:31:23.840
has come to rob, kill, and destroy all of our hopes and dreams. Average has come to rob, kill,

1393
01:31:23.840 --> 01:31:28.880
and destroy your wildest dreams. There is no way that you can live your wildest dreams as long as

1394
01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:36.000
you're in a relationship with average. Because average is a secret agent that's there to

1395
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:42.080
sabotage your wildest dreams. It'll never work out. Whereas the renewed mind, this is John 10.10,

1396
01:31:42.080 --> 01:31:46.240
right? John 10.10 says the thief comes to rob, kill, and destroy, but I've come to give you

1397
01:31:47.200 --> 01:31:53.760
life and life in abundance. You can swap this out, right? Your average thinking has come to

1398
01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:59.360
rob, kill, and destroy, but the renewed mind has come to give you life and life in abundance.

1399
01:32:01.200 --> 01:32:05.440
It's mindsets that are going to produce that. So the thief, what does the thief dress up in? The

1400
01:32:05.440 --> 01:32:10.480
thief dresses up in average and gets everyone to celebrate average as though average is the

1401
01:32:10.480 --> 01:32:16.000
destination when it's not. Average is the problem and everyone's like, yay, we made it to

1402
01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:21.120
average. I'm like, stop it. You make me sick. I hate it. Let's burn it to the ground. This is the

1403
01:32:21.120 --> 01:32:27.120
problem, right? So what we need is the renewed mind. So ask a Christian, do a little survey,

1404
01:32:27.120 --> 01:32:32.640
right? Because the renewed mind and the Holy Spirit, they think the same. There's no difference

1405
01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:36.800
between what the renewed mind thinks and what the Holy Spirit thinks. So, okay, Holy Spirit,

1406
01:32:37.520 --> 01:32:42.000
obviously this interview is not getting much traction. You seem way too positive.

1407
01:32:42.800 --> 01:32:47.120
Let me ask you another question. Holy Spirit, how invincible do you feel right now

1408
01:32:47.120 --> 01:32:53.360
on a one to 10 scale? Holy Spirit's going to bring you a solid 10. Holy Spirit's going to come at you

1409
01:32:53.360 --> 01:32:59.520
with a solid 10. I'm feeling 10 out of 10 on my invincibility status right now. I am fully

1410
01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:04.800
persuaded that every knee will bow and every tongue confess. I'm fully persuaded that every

1411
01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:10.640
ruler will worship and obey him. I am fully persuaded that every nation under the sun will

1412
01:33:10.640 --> 01:33:14.960
be baptized in the fullness of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I am fully persuaded

1413
01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:19.120
that we will see the knowledge of the glory of the Lord cover the face of the earth as the waters

1414
01:33:19.120 --> 01:33:25.520
cover the sea. I am fully persuaded that we will see heaven on earth in all its fullness.

1415
01:33:27.840 --> 01:33:32.640
Ask how many Christians you know, and just anyone, just like, hey, on a one to 10 scale,

1416
01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:39.680
I'm just wondering how invincible you feel right now. You know, like we want that to become the

1417
01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:47.840
new normal, that followers of Jesus, this should be the norm, right? That every follower of Jesus

1418
01:33:47.840 --> 01:33:52.000
should be fully persuaded that they're 100% invincible.

1419
01:33:56.720 --> 01:34:02.240
Yay, yay. Cool. There we go. I think that's a good space. I think I'm going to do a series

1420
01:34:02.240 --> 01:34:09.680
at some point on invincible mindsets. Will be fun. So I just want to, like,

1421
01:34:09.680 --> 01:34:16.400
Paul, I just want to encourage you with that massive blindside. Sucks, dogs, bollocks. But

1422
01:34:16.400 --> 01:34:21.920
then the renewed mind has come to give you life and life abundantly. The renewed mind has a

1423
01:34:21.920 --> 01:34:27.520
thousand solutions before we have a problem. The renewed mind is never blindsided. And

1424
01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:35.040
mate, there's a whole, there's a whole gold mine waiting for you in this season.

1425
01:34:37.120 --> 01:34:43.200
Well, yeah, I can feel it brewing and God hasn't said too many specific things, but

1426
01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:49.440
some things around relationships, because they're so, the ones we've had throughout 2021 have just

1427
01:34:49.440 --> 01:34:53.840
been awesome because there's been so few of them. But it means you've got more time to invest both

1428
01:34:53.840 --> 01:34:58.960
directions and they're just so valuable and precious and very meaningful, very meaningful

1429
01:34:58.960 --> 01:34:59.840
indeed.

1430
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:04.160
he's also spoken about business and I'm very excited, a couple of different things about business

1431
01:35:04.720 --> 01:35:09.680
and I'm sitting right here now going it's impossible without obviously some supernatural

1432
01:35:09.680 --> 01:35:14.000
healing but I know that that's available and I know it's going to happen but it's not easy

1433
01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:18.800
sitting in the position when you're in pain 24 by 7. So my mind is in the right place but the

1434
01:35:18.800 --> 01:35:26.320
body's sort of over here hurting like mad so I'm totally convinced, totally you know having

1435
01:35:26.320 --> 01:35:32.480
the right mindset that tomorrow is not today and today is not tomorrow. I mean I'm walking in a

1436
01:35:32.480 --> 01:35:37.120
better place tomorrow and in all these things that God has promised and speaking to me about

1437
01:35:37.120 --> 01:35:41.600
but it is I think I need to do these daily declarations that you're talking about because

1438
01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:46.800
that gets it to speak it out of your mouth and you know while you were talking about that I

1439
01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:55.360
stumbled across a little email from a year ago and it was setting out milestones for each of the four

1440
01:35:55.360 --> 01:36:00.000
members of our family and they'd all been reached and there was another email a year later

1441
01:36:00.000 --> 01:36:05.520
milestones again for the year later all been reached all of them except one that I did not

1442
01:36:05.520 --> 01:36:10.080
pay attention to and there was a good reason for that and there's probably a good reason why I

1443
01:36:10.080 --> 01:36:14.880
didn't and I guess that was God steering me away from certain things. So yeah I think

1444
01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:21.120
daily declarations is going to just help to keep me centered on the promises I know God has that

1445
01:36:21.200 --> 01:36:26.560
he's already spoken to me about. Totally it's awesome guys all right hey let me um let me do

1446
01:36:26.560 --> 01:36:32.400
a little survey with you and then we're going to wrap it up. So I just ask a question yeah sure

1447
01:36:32.400 --> 01:36:41.600
could we just all pray for him right now because take it away oh okay it's Paul isn't it?

1448
01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:53.200
Holy Spirit Jesus we just thank you that in the mighty name of Jesus there is healing for Paul

1449
01:36:53.200 --> 01:37:00.320
right now all the nerve damage that he has whatever condition that is exacerbating that

1450
01:37:00.320 --> 01:37:04.960
we just ask by the mighty name of Jesus in his precious blood for healing right now

1451
01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:14.560
that your holy spirit spirit would spill over him from head to toe in Jesus name amen

1452
01:37:20.480 --> 01:37:27.360
amen thank you great stuff all right guys um we'll bring it in for a landing with a survey

1453
01:37:28.080 --> 01:37:31.840
here's my survey so uh put your hand up if you know next week we're doing a

1454
01:37:32.240 --> 01:37:39.760
challenge called the rite of passage challenge um it's going to be fun uh 12 14th and

1455
01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:49.040
right of passage challenge is kind of exciting because it's actually designed to help

1456
01:37:49.760 --> 01:37:54.960
like really what it's about if you kind of want to zoom out about this and kind of zoom out on

1457
01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:59.520
like the bigger picture of what raising royalty is about it's actually about helping people step

1458
01:37:59.520 --> 01:38:05.040
into the move of God that's on the planet right now I mean right and actually giving people on

1459
01:38:05.040 --> 01:38:10.880
ramps to participate in what God's doing in the earth right now so I think there's five big things

1460
01:38:10.880 --> 01:38:17.680
that God's doing right now in people's individual lives right so I don't think God's waiting for

1461
01:38:18.320 --> 01:38:25.600
some other amazing generation of Christians to fulfill his promises to us yeah he's ready he's

1462
01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:30.720
ready to roll he's like he's waiting for us so five areas where I think this move of God

1463
01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:36.720
is really focused on on bringing massive transformation to people's lives the first

1464
01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:43.600
one is sonship right so just helping people discover sonship open their eyes to that whole

1465
01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:50.000
spiritual realm seamless union with the trinity effortless bliss dominion over the spiritual and

1466
01:38:50.000 --> 01:38:56.240
the natural just so much good stuff right discovering the father participating in the

1467
01:38:56.240 --> 01:39:02.480
divine dance so sonship that spiritual side of life number one number two is in relationships

1468
01:39:02.480 --> 01:39:10.240
right God is right now restoring family he wants our relationships and he wants our families

1469
01:39:10.240 --> 01:39:17.120
to be a mirror image of the trinity right the trinity the father the son and holy spirit their

1470
01:39:17.120 --> 01:39:24.400
relationship is an unbroken cycle of divine love and his intent is one that we would and this is

1471
01:39:24.400 --> 01:39:31.520
what sonship does a sonship enables us to participate as equal members of the dance in

1472
01:39:31.520 --> 01:39:39.360
the divine dance you know as we mature in sonship I would describe mature sonship as the ability to

1473
01:39:39.360 --> 01:39:46.480
receive divine love perfectly and the ability to give perfect expression to divine love the ability

1474
01:39:46.480 --> 01:39:52.800
to receive divine love perfectly and the ability to give perfect expression to divine love that

1475
01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:58.880
sonship right you're participating in the divine dance and so spiritual life and then family he's

1476
01:39:58.880 --> 01:39:59.520
just about

1477
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:06.720
restoring family. So whether that's, I mean, that's an unbroken cycle of divine love, that

1478
01:40:06.720 --> 01:40:11.920
same fellowship of the Trinity remodeled. So that's heaven on earth in your relationships.

1479
01:40:11.920 --> 01:40:19.120
Heaven on earth is primarily a relational thing before it's anything else. Heaven on earth is

1480
01:40:19.120 --> 01:40:24.320
first manifest in relationships before it's manifest any other way. So heaven on earth

1481
01:40:25.040 --> 01:40:28.480
and our relationships and our circles. So it's just this ever expanding

1482
01:40:29.280 --> 01:40:38.800
cycle of beautiful relationships and family. Thirdly is divine health. You're actually

1483
01:40:38.800 --> 01:40:43.200
bringing people to experience divine health. I believe that this is where God's taking us. And

1484
01:40:43.200 --> 01:40:47.840
that's like a holistic thing, right? That's stewardship of our bodies, that's eating

1485
01:40:47.840 --> 01:40:54.800
healthy, that's permaculture, you're growing great food, that's supernatural healing,

1486
01:40:54.800 --> 01:41:01.440
that's the four works, the holistic dynamic of divine health. And watch this space because

1487
01:41:01.440 --> 01:41:06.080
we've got the divine health summit coming the 21st to the 24th of this month, the divine health

1488
01:41:06.080 --> 01:41:14.400
summit is going to be a blast. So then number four, number four is finances, right? God is like,

1489
01:41:15.040 --> 01:41:22.240
he's ready. He is ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready for all of us people to be living

1490
01:41:22.240 --> 01:41:28.240
in abundance. Not a greasy grace like tie this and you get this. It's actually just everyone

1491
01:41:28.240 --> 01:41:36.320
maturing, getting some like Jewish style wisdom. Ecclesiastes 11.2 says, invest in seven benches,

1492
01:41:36.320 --> 01:41:41.760
yes and eight, you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. So everyone to understand

1493
01:41:41.760 --> 01:41:47.280
financial stewardship and to have multiple streams of income. Who here would be really

1494
01:41:47.280 --> 01:41:52.800
disappointed if God taught them how to have another stream of income? No one? Who would

1495
01:41:52.800 --> 01:41:58.960
be just wrapped like, God, that'd be awesome. Like give me more streams of automated income,

1496
01:41:58.960 --> 01:42:04.160
right? And who would be even happier if God taught you how to teach other people how to set up

1497
01:42:04.160 --> 01:42:11.760
automated income? Yes, that's cool, right? And that's going to be one of the ways. Listen,

1498
01:42:11.760 --> 01:42:16.960
where God's taking us is not just to master. He doesn't want us just to master finances for

1499
01:42:16.960 --> 01:42:23.120
ourselves, for ourselves, right? Financial stewardship, even in the parables of the miners

1500
01:42:23.120 --> 01:42:27.760
is about who's going to be discipling cities. You know, who's going to be looking after cities. So

1501
01:42:28.560 --> 01:42:33.760
if God's looking at people to write to disciple nations, how can we disciple nations if we can't

1502
01:42:33.760 --> 01:42:39.040
even figure out seven streams of income in our own life? You know, so he's wanting us to

1503
01:42:39.040 --> 01:42:43.520
disciple nations. So we've got to have this understanding of finances. And he's going to

1504
01:42:43.520 --> 01:42:49.200
take this, get ready, like in 20 years, financial wisdom compared to what we've got right now will

1505
01:42:49.200 --> 01:42:53.200
be completely different on the planet. What we see as financial wisdom on the planet right now

1506
01:42:53.200 --> 01:43:01.280
will be just seen as like, that there's like, man, corrupt, poverty minded thinking, you know,

1507
01:43:01.840 --> 01:43:05.280
where we're going is going to be massive. So that's the fourth area. And then the fifth

1508
01:43:05.840 --> 01:43:10.000
area is in your dreams, right? And your assignments from heaven. Those are the five

1509
01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:14.400
things that I think are probably the biggest pillars of the move of God on the earth right

1510
01:43:14.400 --> 01:43:19.040
now, right? It's not just a revival where you shake and bake and you get up and your demons got

1511
01:43:19.040 --> 01:43:25.760
cast out. It's way beyond that. What he's doing right now is he's raising people up who have the

1512
01:43:25.760 --> 01:43:33.680
capacity to disciple nations in their entirety. This is the focus is to raise up sons who can

1513
01:43:33.680 --> 01:43:38.320
disciple nations, but you can't disciple nations if you haven't got your own house in order.

1514
01:43:40.000 --> 01:43:45.200
Right? So he, so when it comes to nations, like nations need way better health, but we need

1515
01:43:45.200 --> 01:43:49.680
healthy people to have the mindsets and actually roll that out for whole nations. So we've got

1516
01:43:50.240 --> 01:43:59.360
sonship, family, health, our finances and our visions, our dreams, our assignments from heaven,

1517
01:43:59.360 --> 01:44:05.120
living our wildest dreams. That is to me, like the five pillars of the move of God on the earth

1518
01:44:05.120 --> 01:44:10.720
right now, that is a move of God. That's unlike any other move of God. It's a move of God designed

1519
01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:18.560
to disciple nations. It's wild. So those are the five pillars of the move of God. But then there's

1520
01:44:18.560 --> 01:44:24.080
two, those are the what, and then there's two hows, right? That's the what and here's the how.

1521
01:44:24.080 --> 01:44:32.320
The how, there's two pieces to the how. One is work ethic, right? Proverbs is really harsh,

1522
01:44:32.320 --> 01:44:39.840
but beautiful. Solomon is just constantly lashing fools and sluggards, right? You're a fool if

1523
01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:44.400
you're not, this is how Solomon talks all the way through. He's like, he's just constantly going on

1524
01:44:44.400 --> 01:44:50.320
about fools and sluggards. He's like, if you're not stewarding well, you're a fool. If you're lazy,

1525
01:44:50.320 --> 01:44:55.280
you're a sluggard. And he just goes on and on. The whole book of Proverbs is about like the

1526
01:44:55.280 --> 01:44:59.760
difference between wisdom and foolishness and the difference between,

1527
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:06.080
a sluggard and having discipline. That's really the two of the strongest themes in the whole book

1528
01:45:06.080 --> 01:45:13.520
of Proverbs. Proverbs 25, 28, you know, like a city with its walls broken down, a person without

1529
01:45:13.520 --> 01:45:22.080
self-discipline. How's that for a picture? Like a city with its walls broken down. It's awesome.

1530
01:45:22.560 --> 01:45:33.120
There's a person who lacks self-discipline. So the first how is work ethic. This is critical

1531
01:45:33.120 --> 01:45:40.960
in this hour. Now, I mean, even resting is part of your work ethic. It's a balance.

1532
01:45:42.000 --> 01:45:46.560
This is not about a slave mindset and working harder and all those things. No, it's actually

1533
01:45:46.560 --> 01:45:51.920
about diligence. It's about, you know, this is so understanding diligence, work ethic. And then

1534
01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:58.000
the second how is willpower. This is a thing where a lot of Christians get confused. They're like,

1535
01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:04.480
willpower? I'm not supposed to have willpower. Oh, yes. The flesh, isn't it? It's not the flesh,

1536
01:46:04.480 --> 01:46:10.480
right? Everything that ever happened for you in the spirit realm. I'll say almost not everything,

1537
01:46:10.480 --> 01:46:14.560
but majority of the things that will happen for you in the spirit realm happen because you made

1538
01:46:14.560 --> 01:46:19.280
a decision. Yeah. What's that first decision that you made that probably changed your life

1539
01:46:19.280 --> 01:46:27.200
is to actually follow Jesus. Yeah. Now, what are you going to do with that decision? Are you going

1540
01:46:27.200 --> 01:46:32.960
to stick with it when it gets hard or not? Plenty of people throw it in, right? Anyone ever meet

1541
01:46:32.960 --> 01:46:40.000
someone who stopped following Jesus? Yeah. There can be a ton of reasons, but willpower. Now,

1542
01:46:40.000 --> 01:46:46.480
this is like the last thing that I'll finish on. This is a quote that most of you have heard me say

1543
01:46:46.480 --> 01:46:54.560
before is from David Ruddell. What's the secret to getting whatever you want? Do whatever it takes.

1544
01:46:55.920 --> 01:47:01.760
So most people don't have what it takes to do what it takes to get whatever they want.

1545
01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:06.720
Let me slow that down again. Most people don't have what it takes

1546
01:47:07.520 --> 01:47:15.840
to do what it takes to get whatever they want. So most people don't have what it takes to

1547
01:47:17.120 --> 01:47:22.240
initiate a spiritual reformation in their life. They don't have what it takes to change the

1548
01:47:22.240 --> 01:47:27.200
relationships in their families. They don't have what it takes to change things up in their health

1549
01:47:27.200 --> 01:47:30.800
and fitness. They don't have what it takes to change things in their finances. They don't have

1550
01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:34.640
what it takes to bring their wildest dreams to life. So what's the solution? We just all give

1551
01:47:35.280 --> 01:47:43.120
up and go home disappointed? No. We develop better willpower. We change that. We shape that.

1552
01:47:43.120 --> 01:47:50.400
We build muscle in the area of willpower. And you do that by doing hard things every day.

1553
01:47:51.520 --> 01:47:59.280
That's what will build your willpower is by doing hard things. So the rite of passage event is kind

1554
01:47:59.280 --> 01:48:04.080
of like an on-ramp. So it's three days. It's going to be two sessions a day. It's an on-ramp

1555
01:48:05.760 --> 01:48:11.040
to participate in this move of God that's on the planet right now that is ultimately about

1556
01:48:11.040 --> 01:48:18.800
discipling nations. But if you want to be a part of that, you're going to have to understand the

1557
01:48:18.800 --> 01:48:23.120
ways of discipling nations. Who's God going to use to disciple nations? He's going to use people

1558
01:48:23.120 --> 01:48:28.560
who are stewarding well. And I would say those are the five main pillars of this move of God,

1559
01:48:28.560 --> 01:48:34.160
of where he's taking people, where he's leading us, how he's going to lead us to disciple nations,

1560
01:48:34.160 --> 01:48:40.560
and then work ethic and willpower are the how that he's going to get there.

1561
01:48:40.560 --> 01:48:48.240
So it's going to be a great week. There's going to be fresh encounters. That might seem like it's

1562
01:48:48.240 --> 01:48:53.680
not very spiritual, but there's a lot. There's a lot of, you know, like within that process,

1563
01:48:53.680 --> 01:48:57.920
there's a lot of revelation. There's a lot of encounter. It's all based on sonship,

1564
01:48:57.920 --> 01:49:03.040
which all comes out of participating in the divine dance on a moment-by-moment basis.

1565
01:49:03.040 --> 01:49:08.320
It all flows out of seamless union with the Trinity. It all flows out of that place of effortless bliss

1566
01:49:08.320 --> 01:49:13.040
that comes when you know who you are. It all flows out of a place of faith.

1567
01:49:13.040 --> 01:49:18.960
But yeah, that's me. I'm done. I was going to wrap up. Anyone else had any last words?

1568
01:49:19.920 --> 01:49:23.760
Yeah, I just want to, I'm sorry, I just want to say before in regards to

1569
01:49:25.280 --> 01:49:32.240
when you were talking about betrayal and things like that, 2018, we stepped into a big, huge

1570
01:49:32.240 --> 01:49:40.640
assignment to welcome an Israeli ambassador into Aotearoa and to Ngāpuhi. But not being pastors

1571
01:49:40.640 --> 01:49:47.520
or anybody of any, God called us to step out into doing that. So there was a lot of betrayal and

1572
01:49:47.600 --> 01:49:53.280
dishonor that came about. But hence, we still went forward with what God asked us to do,

1573
01:49:53.280 --> 01:49:58.640
just from a heart of love. And so in September, this last September, this

1574
01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:08.400
last year, 2021, he asked us to do this big huge tent, David's tent, King of Kings tent,

1575
01:50:08.400 --> 01:50:17.360
24-hour worship, and so we'd gone from having like no, not many people in our lives to,

1576
01:50:18.080 --> 01:50:24.000
and a lot of betrayal, to suddenly the people who all turned up for that tent were from various

1577
01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:30.960
denominations, had the same heart to seek God and to go after God, hence at the end of that

1578
01:50:30.960 --> 01:50:38.000
we weren't expecting the big flow of the presence of God that came back, and it knit us together in

1579
01:50:38.000 --> 01:50:45.680
love, it just, and we suddenly felt like we found our tribe, you know, you know Māori and Pākehā,

1580
01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:52.080
different denominations, we found our tribe, and so since then we've got all these beautiful people,

1581
01:50:52.640 --> 01:50:58.400
mighty leaders that are out there doing mighty things, we're all, but we're all just come

1582
01:50:58.400 --> 01:51:04.560
together and we're part of a whānau, a family, and just spending time in that beautiful

1583
01:51:04.560 --> 01:51:12.160
presence of God here on a Friday, so you know, God, I think you need to just keep flying as eagles

1584
01:51:12.160 --> 01:51:17.920
because eventually there's crows in that on your back, but the higher you go, they can't go into

1585
01:51:17.920 --> 01:51:24.880
the heights, they can't go into, there's a time when they fall off, and we're meant to, we're

1586
01:51:24.880 --> 01:51:30.800
destined to fly with the eagles, and we're destined to fly to higher heights, and sometimes we need to

1587
01:51:30.800 --> 01:51:36.640
let go of some of those relationships, so I just really wanted to tautoko exactly what you were

1588
01:51:36.640 --> 01:51:42.560
saying Benji, and it's all worth it, you know, God is good. Awesome.

1589
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:50.400
Cool guys, well, lots of love to everyone, lots of love to you, Jax, good to have you here from Scotland,

1590
01:51:50.400 --> 01:51:59.600
and we're going to wrap it up with a prayer now, so, hey Machu, are you there, can you speak, are you,

1591
01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:06.720
I'm not sure what you're up to. Yeah, how's it going? Good mate, hey, would you like to pray to

1592
01:52:06.880 --> 01:52:19.360
wrap it up for us? Sure would mate. That'd be awesome, thanks Heeks guys, we're proud of you, we just so appreciate that you've
