And also let me know if there's something
that has really stood out to you from yesterday's sessions.
And we're gonna get into this in just one moment.
So cool, great to be having you guys on board.
And this is session three,
and we are exploring the science of transformation,
which is gonna be really key for us in this process
of stepping into and living in a perpetual move
of the spirit.
So I think what we're gonna do is we're gonna pray,
gonna do a quick recap of some of the keys from yesterday,
and then we're gonna launch into this beautiful session
on the science of transformation.
So righto, we'll do it, we'll pray.
Pray with me.
I just feel like praying in the spirit for a moment,
and then we will see where God takes us in our prayer time.
Ha, kia rano mandoro,
mi arana nishi ando rabakete,
rababa po shukodoro,
e rabakite arana manama shi andoro kumbhondorana mai.
Papa, Jesus, Holy Spirit, we love you.
We so appreciate you, and today we bring high praise.
Today we bring our sweetest adoration of who you are.
Today we bring our highest expressions of appreciation
and delight in the wonder of who you are.
Jesus, we stop and we just put our attention right now
on how you have swallowed us up
in a beautiful, perfect, unfailing divine love.
We are grateful beyond words,
and right now we wanna give you all the glory,
we wanna honor you, we wanna recognize
and appreciate you for who you are.
You are the very source of life itself.
You are our everything, you are our heart's desire,
Jeremiah 29, 13, it captured our hearts when it said,
when you seek me as your vital necessity, you will find me.
And we wanna honor you, Jesus,
you are our vital necessity in this life.
We place all our dependence on you right now.
Jesus, you are more crucial to us, more vital to us,
more value to us than life itself.
You're more precious to us than the air we breathe,
and we welcome you to come and flood this moment.
Holy Spirit, Papa, Yeshua,
I thank you for coming in into this space right now.
I thank you for your glory
that's tangibly surrounding me in my room right now.
Holy Spirit, I ask that you would release your glory
to tangibly surround, to tangibly come around
and surround your people right now.
Lord, that you would invade rooms,
and you would fill hearts, and you would flood minds,
and that in this moment right now, all over the world,
your manifest presence would come to rest on people.
Your glory would come to rest on people.
Your spirit would come to rest.
rest on people, that it would open up gateways into the spirit realm, gateways of revelation,
portals into your kingdom.
Lord, I thank you right now for releasing the spirit of the Lord, the spirit of wisdom
and revelation, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of understanding, the spirit of knowledge,
the spirit of might, and the spirit of the fear of the Lord.
Lord, I thank you right now for angels coming about us in Jesus' name.
Lord, I thank you right now for a grace for supernatural breakthrough and supernatural
impartation straight from heaven, straight from the face of God, straight from the heart
of God, straight from the throne of God.
Lord, I thank you for a grace right now for impartation.
Lord, I thank you for fresh, fresh encounters.
Lord, I thank you that as we spend this time together, Lord, it will be more than just
listening, but that the very spirit of God would enter into our hearts, our rooms, our
minds, our lives, and mark us forever by your spirit.
Jesus, we give you all the glory, and we give you all the honor, and we invite you to fill
this space and have your way and prepare your people for the greatest move of the spirit
of God that we have ever seen, in Jesus' name, amen.
Oh, family, it's a delight to be with you right now.
There's a real deep excitement in the spirit that goes beyond just an excitement, and there's
a depth of conviction in the spirit and in my spirit that God is really engaged with
this verse 2 Chronicles 16, 9, the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen
those whose hearts are fully devoted to him.
God is searching all over the face of the earth right now for those who will align with
him, for those who will agree with him, for those who will put up their hand and say,
yes, God, yes to his promises, yes to the assignments from heaven, yes to the calling
on our lives, yes to whatever he wants to do, yes to complete surrender, yes to radical
obedience, yes to following Jesus, yes to the narrow road, yes to sacrifice, yes to
whatever he has for us as we go forward.
And so I believe that I am speaking to some of the hungriest people on the world.
I believe that I'm speaking right now to people who carry a massive yes to the things of God,
to the things of the spirit.
And so it is very exciting to see what God is going to be doing in our lives through
this journey.
The topic of our session today is called the science of transformation.
You might think, well, that's a very spiritual topic, or is that a very, what does that even
mean?
Well, I'll tell you why I'm going to talk about the science of transformation.
But first we need a recap on what we talked about yesterday to really get your heart in
this space of appreciating the power of transformation and also appreciating the value for transformation.
So let me know if you enjoyed yesterday, let me know if you had a highlight, drop it
in the comments.
If there was a word that stood out or something that gripped your heart from yesterday, just
drop that in the comments.
So we looked at four points in the process of moves of God yesterday that we can actually
track these four things.
And we looked at very briefly at over 500 years worth of moves of the spirit of God
and how they all carried these four points.
One is a revelation, right?
Someone gets a revelation and that revelation renews their mind.
It brings a whole nother layer of truth into their minds.
And then off the back of that layer of truth, that new revelation, that renewed mind produces
reformation, reformation in the way that they act and reformation the way they do church
or reformation, the way they relate to God produces reformation.
So big changes, right?
It produces big changes, but those big changes produce something.
And what it's produced is a restoration of something.
We looked through the last 500 years of moves of the spirit of God very briefly at what
God has been restoring and where he's going and what he's wanting to do.
where the next great move of the Spirit of God is going in terms of what he's restoring
to the church, restoring to humanity, restoring to the planet, and looked as well at how we can,
yeah, what that is. So let's look at that. I mean, it's exciting. Okay, so I think a bunch of you
guys will remember this. So there's five pillars, right? Say with me, five pillars. There's five
pillars of this coming great move of the Spirit of God. So pillar number one is divine life. Okay,
our verse for that is John 10, 10. The thief comes only to rob and kill and destroy, but I have come
that they might have life and have it abundantly. Jesus defined the word life there in the Greek
is zoe. It means the divine life. It means his life. That's what he meant in John 14, 6, when
he said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. He was giving definition to that word zoe.
Zoe, life, is the life of Christ fully manifest in you. It's the exact same state of being as God.
This is a one of the greatest promises in the entire Bible. And then he goes on to say, and he
says that they would have life and have it abundantly, which is the Greek word perisos,
which means without measure. God is on the move to restore the divine life to our lives without
measure. Number two is divine health. John 14, 12, Jesus said, whatever I've been doing,
you will do. Anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. They will do even
greater things than these. So divine health is the greater works of Christ. It's the divine
health that he lived in. It's divine health for others. It's resurrection power. It is amazing.
Okay. So we've got divine life, divine health. Oh, sorry. Divine health is actually number three.
Number two is actually divine family or divine relationships. And we had a bit of a moment
yesterday where we went deep into that and actually looked at what does the fellowship of
the Trinity look like? What does the divine dance look like? And it's an unbroken cycle of divine
love where the father and the son pour out extravagant, perfect love on the Holy Spirit.
And the Holy Spirit and the son pour out and lavish love on the father. And it's a constant,
unbroken, perpetual cycle of divine love. And the number one assignment on your life is to be
loved. You were created. One of the reasons God made you in his image is so that you would be
made of the same substance. And we talked about this yesterday, the same glory. You're made from
the same glory that God is the very substance that makes up God. You're made from the same
substance, the same glory, so that you could be a perfect participant in the divine dance. So
that's why God made you in his image and likeness, so that you could participate as an equal member
in the divine dance. And this is the heartbeat of heaven, right? The very heartbeat and the
atmosphere of heaven all flows from an unbroken cycle of divine love. So when we pray on earth
as it is in heaven, we have to understand that on earth as it is in heaven is first going to get
manifest in relationships. That's the first place on earth as it is in heaven gets manifest.
It gets manifest in our relationship with God. That's what Jesus was praying in John 17,
that we would be one as they are one, that we'd be brought to complete unity with the divine
dance that's on earth as it is in heaven. So number two is God is on the move to restore
divine relationships, mirror images of the trinity. God wants to see a mirror image on the earth as it
is in heaven. He wants us to start with our thinking. If you want to live on earth as it
is in heaven, you have to first think on earth as it is in heaven. And on earth as it is in heaven
will be manifest primarily and actually first in the way that we think and then in our relationships
and our relationships with one another. Amazing. Okay, so we've got divine life, divine relationships.
How good would that be, by the way? Let me ask you how good it would be if all the relationships
around your life were an exact mirror image, not stripping away people's personality,
but stripping away all the dysfunction, where everyone had the capacity. And this is what
sonship, mature sonship, looks like. The ability to receive divine love perfectly and the ability
to give perfect expression to divine love. So as you mature in your sonship, it creates this
effortless capacity to dance with the trinity, receiving and then expressing divine love to
one another. Let me know if that sounds good. If you would like...
that in your family. If you'd like to replace dysfunction with divine design in the relationships
in your family, in your workplace, in your home, in your church, in your community. God wants this
to sweep the earth just as he declared the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover
the face of the earth as the waters cover the sea. This is what God's going after for the planet,
divine relationships, divine family. So number one, divine life. Number two, divine relationships.
Number three, divine health. Number four, divine abundance. Here's our verse for that is Deuteronomy
28, 12 to 13. The Lord will open to you his good treasure, the heavens, to give rain to your land
in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. You shall lend to many nations, but you
shall not borrow. You will be the head and not the tail. How amazing is that? So divine abundance
and it's really key to like the divine abundance is really key to the next one, which is divine
assignment. You will have divine abundance that resources you for your divine assignment. God is
on the move. You might have heard people prophesying for decades about a great global
wealth transfer. Well, that is, it's coming. God is on the move. He's doing that. And then the last
one, divine assignment, Matthew 28, 19, therefore go and make disciples of all nations. Now listen,
this is not going to make disciples in all nations or in some nations, the great commission,
the mandate, the assignment, the divine assignment that's on all of our lives is those who say we
follow Jesus. If you say you follow Jesus, then this is the mandate on your life to make disciples
of all nations. Now let's check out what he says then baptizing them in the name, which you have to
understand is the nature, right? It's the nature of the father and of the son and of the Holy
Spirit. What does that really look like? It looks like baptizing entire nations into the divine
dance. It looks like nations being swallowed up with divine relationships where people have the
capacity to receive divine love perfectly and express divine love perfectly. It looks like
heaven on earth as heaven manifests in our relationships. And our final verse on these
five pillars is Ephesians 3, 20, never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this.
He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream and exceed
your wildest imagination. He will outdo them all for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.
Wow, how glorious is that? So I want you to pause and think about this for a moment. I'm going to
ask you a question. I want you to answer this, okay? I want you to answer this with a like a
definite one way or the other. It's going to be a yes, no question. My question to you is if it was
possible, would you want to live in the fullness of these five pillars? If it was possible, would
you like to live in the fullness of these five pillars, the fullness of divine life,
the fullness of divine relationships, the fullness of divine health, the fullness of divine abundance,
and the fullness of the divine assignment on your life? Let me know. Is that a yes for you,
a no for you? I want a really definitive yes or no. If it was possible, would you like to live in
the fullness of the five pillars? Now I can guarantee you that I'm getting a lot of yeses
and I know that for myself the answer is a hundred percent yes, right? And this is a
like a follow-up question for that is on what scale, right? On what scale would you like to
see that, right? On what scale would you like to see, you know, like would you like a hundred percent
of that, ten percent of that? And let me tell you, yeah, so that's what I was like asking this
question as well. How much desire do you have for that? A little bit of desire or a lot of desire?
Let me know. Is that something you really want? For me, that is like the type of
thing that I want so much that I would revolve the entire culture of my life around apprehending it.
So let's pause there for a minute and ask another question. Because if this is so good, right,
if this is so good, why is it that so few people actually experience it? You know, why is it that
so few people step into even a small experience of this? Why is it that so many people on their
spiritual journey don't make it here? Why is it they kind of get lost in a spiritual wasteland?
It's a genuine question that I've had. I was like, man, living in the orphaned condition,
living in the orphaned condition, just in a love deficit, it's a terrible place.
All right. And there's so much dysfunction and there's so much pain and there's so much
negative thinking and negative feelings and negative emotions.
And there's so much darkness.
And if it's such a terrible place, why do so many millions and billions of people
stay there? Why do they stay in that place of just stuck in this place of living in
darkness? And why don't they, why isn't there an exodus from darkness into the beauty
of these promises of what God's trying to restore to us and restore to the earth and
restore to the planet? It's polar, it's extremes.
You know, one is hell on earth, one is heaven on earth.
Why aren't people, why isn't there an exodus from hell on earth into heaven on earth
so that people can participate in seamless union with the Trinity, so that people can
participate in effortless bliss?
This to me makes no sense.
Why don't, why isn't there a mass exodus from darkness into light to live in the beauty
of fellowship with the Trinity and participate moment by moment in the beauty of the
divine dance? To me, it seems crazy.
And so I've been studying this for a long time, right, about why people get
stuck. So I want to say to you, and this is why the topic of today's session is called
The Science of Transformation.
People get stuck because they don't know how to get unstuck.
People get stuck simply because they're stuck.
They get stuck because they don't understand the science of transformation and because
people don't understand the science of transformation, right?
Maybe they start a journey following Jesus and because they don't understand the science
of transformation, they make a little start.
They do a little something and then they get disappointed because they don't see the
results that they want.
Who wants to see results, right?
If you get stuck into doing something, you want to see results, right?
Yes, you do. You know, it's something like we have this desire to see results.
But if you're not seeing results, you get discouraged, you give up.
So what we're going to talk about today is the science of transformation and how you can
set yourself up for guaranteed results.
All right. Very few people will say, oh, there's guaranteed results.
But I want to tell you that Jesus promised guaranteed results.
All right. And let me let me touch right now on one of the reasons.
One of the reasons why people don't make don't make progress into this, why people don't
step into it. I touched on it very briefly at the end yesterday.
But there's two promises that Satan brings against us for every single promise that God
will ever make us.
Right. The first promise that Satan brings against every single promise that God has
ever made you is it's not possible.
All right. So you might even be in that place right now when I'm talking to you about the
fact that God wants to restore to us and bring us into the fullness of the divine life.
You know, the fullness of divine relationships, the fullness of divine health, the
fullness of divine abundance and the fullness of divine assignments where it's
exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all that you've ever did to ask, dream, pray,
think or even imagine.
You might be thinking they're sitting there thinking to yourself that is impossible.
Well, if you're in that place where you believe that's impossible, well, Satan has got
you on the first light. And as long as you believe that it will become a self-fulfilling
prophecy, according to your faith, will it be done to you?
It will never happen if you still believe the lie, right, that it's not possible.
But a lot of people actually break through that light.
They escape that light and then they get caught up on the second line.
This second lie plagued me for years.
It had me stuck for years and trapped for years on some of the most simple promises of
God that I wanted to get breakthrough into.
Now, this lie held me back for years.
The second lie is, yes, it's possible and some people can experience, you know, these
promises. Yes, it's possible.
It's just not possible for you.
It's not possible for you.
All right. And that was the second lie that I had to just break off my life and in order
to come into agreement.
Remember, humility is simply to agree with God.
Remember talking about that yesterday?
Humility is simply to agree with God.
And if God says something's possible for you, right, then if you refuse to come into
agreement with God, then you'll never experience the promise.
So let's just look at one promise right off the bat is John 14, 12.
Jesus said, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing, they will do even
greater things than these.
How wild is that for a promise?
God is on the move to fulfill these amazing promises.
Here's another promise.
This is a promise that Jesus made that is a promise of guaranteed results.
A lot of people don't have faith or necessarily expectation that on their spiritual journey
they can expect guaranteed results.
But Jesus promises it in John 8, 32, he promises guaranteed results.
He says, then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
Now I'll tell you why that's so powerful and why that's so helpful and why that's just
such great news.
It's very, very black and white.
And because it's so black and white, it enables it to be a litmus test for it.
Because this statement from Jesus is so black and white, it enables us to orient our whole
life around it.
He said, then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
So first of all, we're going to have to understand what that looks like.
What does that freedom look like?
What is the free that Jesus is bringing us to?
That freedom, what that looks like, that freedom looks like the divine life.
That's exactly what it looks like.
It looks like the divine life.
Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
It looks like something.
It looks like Christ fully manifest in you.
It looks like the promises of God fully manifest in you.
It looks like all of these five pillars active and alive in your life.
And so what we can see is that the five pillars, the promise of the five pillars, if you want
to step into those, the pathway is very, very simple.
And there's a way to experience guaranteed results.
And that is, if you know, Jesus said, John 8, 32, then you will know the truth and the
truth will set you free.
Now, this is a very confronting way of, this is a very confronting statement from Jesus,
right?
Because when we look at it like this, what you can tell from that, right?
And what I can tell about my life is that I can tell that my mind is not fully renewed.
I can tell that these things that I'm still believing somewhere in my conscious, subconscious
or unconscious that aren't true.
I'm in need of a renewing of my mind.
I'm in need of the spirit of God to sift me.
I'm in need of the spirit of God to bend me, to purify me, to search out my heart.
I'm in need of major transformation in order to step into the promise, because if the promise
isn't manifest, it's not an issue with the promise.
It's never an issue with the promise.
It's never an issue.
But God is able to fully deliver in your life right now, the fullness of all of those five
pillars, right?
There's no hold up on God's end.
We have to understand that this black and white statement from Jesus, it's a promise,
and it's exciting.
It's also an invitation.
It's an open door.
He's saying to us, if you want to experience the fullness of life, it is possible.
All you need to do is step into the truth.
Now, his very first statement in Mark 1 15, Jesus said, repent for the kingdom of God
is at hand.
All right?
So this word repent, the word metanoia, a lot of people think that it's to do with
behavior, right?
When I grew up in church, this concept of repentance was about stop.
Stop all that sinning.
Stop the sinning.
Just stop it.
Stop the sinning and do the good stuff.
All right?
It was all really focused around just being able to stop the behavior, right?
It was about behavior modification, and you had to try really hard just to stop it.
But who understands that that doesn't actually work, right?
Just trying to stop a particular behavior doesn't work in the long term, right?
It's just going to create some other issue.
Just trying to stop doesn't work.
Well, the word repent, metanoia, doesn't mean stop behaving in a particular way.
What it means is it means change the way you think, all right?
Change the way you think.
This is a very confronting statement from Jesus.
What I want you to kind of pay attention to, there's a theme with Jesus, right?
A theme with Jesus is that he just comes straight in your face, gets right up in your grill,
and he will confront you with the truth.
Now, it's never for the purpose of making you feel bad.
It's always for the purpose of unleashing the greatness within you.
But you can't call some...
into greatness without first exposing where they're at and calling them into a place of
extreme ownership. If you want growth, if you want to step into the wonder of the promises of
God, it's going to have to start with extreme ownership. You're going to stop blaming anyone
else, blaming your past, blaming religion, blaming something in the spiritual realm, blaming
your background or anything like that. You've got to stop the blame game completely and immediately,
and what you need to embrace is extreme ownership. Because when you start taking this place of
extreme ownership, you are setting yourself up for exponential growth. This is how Jesus works
with us. He expects us to embrace extreme ownership. Basically, when it comes to Jesus,
class starts only once you've embraced extreme ownership. If you haven't embraced extreme
ownership, then class hasn't started. He's waiting for you to embrace extreme ownership. Jesus is not
going to mess around with excuses. He doesn't mess around with justifications. For example,
if you say, well, the reason that I'm not experiencing the promises of God in my life is
because of this and this and this and this. Jesus is not going to tolerate. I'm not saying
he's going to hate you, but I'm just saying he doesn't buy it. He's not interested. He doesn't
play games with us. He is not going to be persuaded by your justification or your excuses.
What he responds to is extreme ownership. If you're going to mess with justification and
excuses, you're not going to see favor from God. You're not going to see this radical grace from
God. You're not going to see that happen, right? He's just like, well, I don't really deal with
excuses and justifications. What Jesus deals with is extreme ownership. That's why he has
these statements like, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. He's like, okay,
so this is not on my inability to deliver, but on your unbelief. So what are you going to do with
that? Same thing again with what he says, Mark 1 15, repent for the kingdom of God is at hand,
which means change the way that you think because heaven is closer than you ever imagined.
All right. Change the way that you think because heaven is closer than you ever imagined.
All right. So Paul picks up on this theme as well. Okay. In Romans 12 chapter two, he said,
do not conform to the pattern of this world. Now ask yourself, what's the pattern of this world?
Even ask yourself, what's the pattern of the church? I think Paul could equally have written
to his people right now. Do not conform to the pattern of normal church. All right. Do not
conform to the pattern of normal church because normal church is flooded with excuses and
justifications and very little extreme ownership for why the church isn't living in the promises
of God. All right. And because it's so full of excuses and justifications, there's very little
breakthrough, very little transformation, very little growth. Everyone's still stuck in average.
Now, let me say there's no place for average in the kingdom with Jesus. When Jesus is calling you
out into your destiny, there's nowhere in your destiny. There's nothing about what God planned
for your future. That's average. Everything God's ever planned for you is exceptional,
phenomenal. There's no promises that Jesus doesn't waste his breath on making you average
promises. When he makes you a promise, it's phenomenal. Like you will be set free. You'll
have the fullness of the divine life. He says you'll have divine life without limit, without
measure. John 10, 10, the Greek word perisos, without limit. I've come that you might have
the divine life and have it without measure. Come on. That's what he's after. That's what he
promises us, you know. So he's not promising us little things. He's promising us exceptional
things. But we can't embrace the ways of average. If we embrace the ways of average, embrace the
ways of normal, then we're not going to get there, right? It's going to take something exceptional.
Say exceptional. It's going to take something exceptional. It's going to take something
extraordinary. It's going to take something above, above average. It's going to take something like,
it's going to take a process that's not the normal process that you see around you,
not the normal process that you see in church. That's why Paul says, Romans 12, 2, do not conform
to the pattern of this world. Don't conform to the pattern of anyone who's not getting the results
that Jesus promised, all right? Don't conform to the pattern of this world. Don't conform to the
patterns. Don't conform to the mindsets. Don't conform to the, you know, the practices and the
way of life and the rhythm of life of those who aren't getting the fruit of the divine life, right?
But be transformed or be transfigured by the renewing of your mind. Now,
The Greek word for renewing your mind there is anakinesos, anakinesos and that renewing
of your mind actually it means to change, change permanently for the better or to renovate.
This is what Jesus wants to do with your mind.
He wants to completely renovate it and he wants to renovate your mind so that it looks
exactly like his mind.
That's what 2 Corinthians 10 5 is about.
We take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ.
We're called to be a manifestation, an incarnation of the mind of Christ and that's what the
renewed mind is.
Now Paul, all the way through his epistles, all the way through everything that he talks
about, he talks about the mind so much.
He talks about the corrupt mind, the defiled mind, the mind of the flesh, the carnal mind.
He says the mind of the flesh is death.
He's always talking about the corrupt mind, the defiled mind, the carnal mind, the mind
of the flesh.
He's talking about them a bunch and he says leave those, put those to rest, put those
aside and embrace the renewed mind.
Now here's something about the renewed mind.
The renewed mind has some guarantees with it.
It's like Jesus guaranteed you something in John 8 32.
The truth will set you free.
The truth will produce fruit.
Listen, the renewed mind has guarantees with it.
It's black and white.
It's a rock solid promise.
It's not something that you need to worry about whether or not God can deliver.
There's not going to be any problem with the renewed mind ever in manifesting the promises
of God.
So you can take the renewed mind to the bank and the renewed mind a hundred percent will
always produce the divine life.
The renewed mind will always produce divine relationships.
The renewed mind will always produce divine health.
Renewed mind will always produce divine abundance and the renewed mind will always be in alignment.
And bringing forth the fruit of divine assignments.
The renewed mind is a guarantee.
So the call for us, the challenge for us is, okay, then how do we actually renew our minds?
What's the process of renewing our minds?
How can we renew our minds then?
Because when we're talking about the great move of the spirit of God and bringing alignment
into these five pillars, what is this great move of the spirit of God then essentially?
This great move of the spirit of God that's coming and this great move of the spirit of
God that is also upon us that God's bringing up, calling us to align with this great move
of the spirit of God at the core of it is actually the greatest renewing of the mind
of the body of Christ and the mind of humanity that the world has ever seen.
This is a move of the spirit that's producing the greatest manifestation of the renewed
mind that has ever been on display on the planet.
Okay.
This is what you've got to understand.
The very crux, the very core of the move of the spirit of God that is upon us right now
is a move that's designed to renew your mind, to produce the mind of Christ in you, fully
manifest in you because the mind of Christ will produce the faith of Christ, will produce
all the fruits and the promises that Christ has promised.
So, hence the topic, the title of this session being called the science of transformation.
Okay.
Say that again with me, the science of transformation, because it's very, very possible to expedite,
right?
That means it's very, very possible to make it happen faster.
You can actually go in this process of renewing your mind in a way that's not going to produce
fruit or in a way that's going to take you a way, way longer than it needs to.
Or you can go about the process of renewing your mind in a way that's going to fast track
the transformation.
Who wants to fast track the transformation?
Yeah.
Let me know if you want to fast track the transformation.
Who wants to be in a place of exponential growth?
Well, listen, the beauty is that when you, um, when you, that it's the same place, right?
The place of fast tracking your mind, uh, fast tracking transformation, the place of
exponential growth is the exact same place of living perpetually in a constant move of
the spirit of God.
So I'm going to, I'm going to do a screen share with you, uh, in a second and I'm going
to break down.
I just jotted this down.
This is kind of create a little bit of a whiteboard atmosphere.
see it here for you. Okay, screen share. Alright, here's my screen and let me pull up what I
want to show you. Okay, we're having a little bit of a whiteboard session. Alright, now
I'm using a slightly different tech. Okay, here we go. Sweet. Okay, so give me a heads
up if you can see this. You should be able to see this. I'm going to check the tech and
make sure that the screen share is working for you. I'm sure it is, but I'd just better
check. The whole idea here is just creating a bit of a whiteboard scenario. There we go.
I think it has popped up nicely there for you. Alright, cool, cool. Sweet. So, I just
did this up for you just before we started the process because what I want to try and
highlight for you and share with you is that the science of transformation is a body, soul
and spirit process. Okay, it's body, soul and spirit all weaving together to produce
transformation. Now, this is one reason why some people struggle, right? They don't make
the progress they want to because they just try and do it spiritually and they don't include
a holistic dynamic to the process. But if you want to fast track the process of transformation,
you have to understand that there's a lot of things in play. Alright, so let me, let
me start this. So, in the middle right here, we've got your brain, say my brain. Alright,
we've got your brain right here and we're going to be talking a bit about your brain
in here. We're going to talk about your feelings. We're going to unpack this word neuroplasticity.
We're going to talk about the rhythm of your life and we're going to talk about belief
systems and revelation. We're going to talk about practice, habit, reflex, lifestyle,
state of being. We're going to talk about all these things. We're going to blend it
together and kind of unpack this for you and unpack what it means. And also, what happens
in the rite of passage program, right? So, this is the rite of passage challenge and
we're leading into the rite of passage program. But the rite of passage program is based on
the science of transformation, based on how, on a process of how you can actually create
exponential growth, how you can fast track your transformation, how you can fast track
the renewing of your mind in order to come into alignment at more pace than ever before,
expedite your process of aligning with God, and also expedite the process of manifesting
divine life, divine relationships, divine health, divine abundance, and divine assignments
in your life. Yes, again, let me know if that's something you're passionate about. I believe
you are. So, the science of transformation, really at the core of it, at the very, very
core of it is down here. So, belief systems, right? So, say with me, belief systems. Now,
this section down here, it represents your mind, okay? So, your mind is actually, you
can see down the bottom there, your mind is broken into three segments. There's the conscious
part of your mind and that's the mind, say, that you, you know, say you're tying a knot
or you're, I don't know, maybe you're just doing some practical task, right? You're typing
something out, you're cooking your dinner, you're doing a practical task that engages
your conscious mind. Your conscious mind is right here present in that moment. Then you've
got your subconscious mind, okay? So, that's, that's just below the radar a little bit.
So, if you, for example, you start maybe a time of prayer or whatever, and you kind of
leave behind the tasks at hand and begin to focus in on the spirit, you might start
dropping into the subconscious mind, right? You might start accessing the subconscious
mind at that point. So, your conscious mind, just doing things, subconscious mind is stored
a little bit deeper, and then your unconscious mind is stored right at the very, like, right
at the depths, at the very heart of your mind and the deepest recesses of your mind is your
unconscious mind. And at each of these levels, your conscious, subconscious, and unconscious
mind are stored beliefs, okay? This is the filing system of your mind.
where it stores your beliefs. So your belief system, your mind, let me just say
that again, your mind is a filing system for all sorts of beliefs systems. Now
I'll bring you up here and I'll just say this, we behave according to what we
believe. We behave according to what we believe, which is why when
people say you know that repentance means stopping doing bad things and just
starting to try and do good things, that's why it doesn't work. If you
want to change your behavior you have to change what you believe. But this process
of changing what you believe is not just that simple as you know just just trying
to change your thought, because you might not have immediate access to all of your
beliefs. A lot of your beliefs that are stored really really deep on the inside
of you and you can have a lot of beliefs on the inside of you that you
aren't consciously even aware of. You can have unconscious beliefs, subconscious
beliefs, they are they are stored in your mind below the radar. And this is why
it's really important to have something like John 8 32 in play in your life and
you realize okay I might not even, I don't even know what I, I don't
necessarily, I'm not even necessarily aware of all the things that I believe.
Because you could have gone through a traumatic experience when you were
really little even as a baby and through that traumatic experience come to some
conclusion that's stored in the depths of your subconscious and that
could just be what you know maybe you got bitten by a dog as a baby and it's
placed a belief in the very depths of your unconscious that all dogs are
unsafe and maybe you hate dogs and maybe you've never thought about the
fact of why you're scared of dogs. But here's the thing, John 8 32 says you
will know the truth and the truth will set you free. So we can take that as a
plumb line, we can build our life on that, we can go okay right there's no
exceptions to this, this is a firm foundation that I can build my life on
is that if there is a fruit in my life of anything that is not the divine life
then the root is a lie, all right. Wherever there's a fruit, right, a
negative fruit is always going to be a lie and that lie is going to be stored
somewhere in your conscious subconscious or unconscious. It's actually really
powerful because then you can say okay God where does this root, what is the
root of this fruit and it's this the system called trace, face and replace,
right, where you go okay God there's a fruit in my life of fear, there's a fruit
in my life of hatred or there's a fruit in my life of stress and worry, where's
that coming from? You can trace, face and replace which is you can ask Holy Spirit
to lead you and sometimes this might be on a journey but the beautiful thing
about this is that we can understand okay there's a guaranteed fix, all right,
there's a guarantee of something that will work for whatever issue you're
facing, maybe you're struggling with an addiction, you could be struggling with
porn, you could be struggling with tobacco, you could be struggling with any
type of addiction and you can trace, face and replace what's the root of, you know
like the addiction might be that you have an addiction it's because you're,
it's a coping mechanism because you feel inadequate and you just don't feel like
you're enough or you don't feel like you're worthy of being loved, well again
trace, face and replace you can go somewhere here in your conscious,
subconscious or unconscious filing cabinet is the truth, sorry is the lie
and if you find that lie and replace it with the truth boom the fruit will
change your whole, this will change your whole operating system and actually
instead of that you get the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, gentleness, self-control, all of that good stuff you trace, face and
replace and you get the fruit, all right, I think some people, I think you kind of
get that, now here's something that you might not understand is that your
feelings, all right, say my feelings, your feelings, your feelings come from your
belief system, however you feel about, whatever your feelings are about
something that you have to be aware that your feelings are produced by your
belief system, well I'll give you an example, one day when I was teaching a
mouse ran into the teaching space and one young lady she jumped up onto the
table there, she threw stuff in the air, she actually had a drink bottle in her
hand, she threw it across the room, she screamed, like full-on outrageous scream
like just screaming on top of this table throw a drink bottle across the room
because a mouse ran into the kitchen and other people like some people didn't see
it I saw I just thought it was funny that there was a mouse there and now
when I was in Mozambique Africa well we were there they would hand you mice on a
stick that they just caught a mouse they shoved a stick through it cooked it on
the fire and they're giving you this as like a delicacy all right so this
example of belief systems change your feelings if someone from Mozambique had
been in that room their feelings would have been like oh man I'm going into
hunt mode I want to eat this mouse for me I was laughing because I thought it
was funny that there was a mouse I thought it was even funnier that
someone was screaming and dancing on a table and throwing stuff across the room
and I was getting good entertainment out of that other people were like oh yeah
and some people were just like reacting to the chick screaming on a table the
feelings that we all have different feelings in a different circumstance or
a different situation and whatever your feelings are comes from your belief
system right so you have beliefs you have feelings and then after that your
brain starts getting involved in your situation or your circumstance right so
then your brain your brains going to process your feelings all right if it's
a good feeling negative feeling positive feeling whatever it is your
brains going to process that and your brain is basically a chemical factory
okay your brain is constantly producing a massive amount of chemicals and pretty
much what your emotions are is your emotions all right your emotions are all
fueled by chemicals that your brain releases so if you feel good you feel
scared what you have to understand is that what's driving that that that
emotion is that you're you've had a you know you're going you're in a
circumstance whatever the circumstances your brain checks in with your belief
system and says how should we feel about this and then your belief system say
this is how we feel about this one we're terrified of mice or like a is terrified
of mice B is mice make for funny moments or C mice are for eating so your brain
checks in with your belief system how should we feel about this your belief
system comes back with the feeling your brain goes okay sweet let me release the
appropriate chemicals for this your brain releases those chemicals which
then drives an emotional response and all your behavior or your behavior comes
out of your emotional response okay so that's why we behave according to what
we believe okay so it starts with belief system feelings brain creates a chemical
reaction which produces an emotional response and we act out of our emotions
all right so I think you can see that process happening there now your brain
is really really important in the process of renewing your mind okay it's
not just your belief system that will do it if you don't factor in the power of
your brain in this process you will actually stifle the process of
transformation so the renewed mind yes it happens within your belief system but
it also happens through the rhythm of your life okay I want you to say rhythm
the rhythm of your life is really really critical in both renewing your brain
renewing your mind and also rewiring your brain so let me just highlight
another thing here from that story for example when my friend saw the mouse and
her brain checked in with her belief system her belief system said this is a
scary situation this is bad okay so her belief system said ah this is terrible
okay and so as a result of her belief system saying ah this is terrible you
should be afraid you should be very very afraid what happened is it triggered the
fight flight or the fight or flight response sometimes some people say fight
flight or freeze and others say fight or flight response so there's a little part
in your brain I didn't draw it on here but it'd be probably around here it's
just a tiny little part you actually have two of them one on each side of your
brain and they're called the amygdala about the size of a pea and that part of
your brain it's just a small part of your brain right it's not very
intelligent it's not it's not designed to do clever things it's designed for
survival so what happens with your brain right is your brain if it get if it
triggers the fight-or-flight mode flight mode it triggers fight mode flight mode
a fight mode or flight mode is triggered in your brain
the what happens is the amygdala it's called an amygdala hijack because the
amygdala this tiny little part of your brain takes control of your whole brain
okay it takes control and it can't really do many things it's not an
intelligent part of your brain it just does like crazy survival stuff it
releases adrenaline releases cortisol releases all these intense you know
hormones and chemicals that are designed to like make you pumped up and and give
you super speed and strength so it takes over now what happens is some people
actually because their belief system right is that so many things are scary
they're like oh my gosh this is scary and that is scary and that's scary is it
overworks their amygdala so their amygdala is always kicking into gear
because they always feel like they're in survival mode or maybe you're actually
in just a really unsafe environment and so you've got your your amygdala always
taking over control and releasing all these all this adrenaline people end up
getting adrenal fatigue but not just adrenal fatigue it rewires their brain
now the front part of your brain up here right this is called the frontal cortex
this is where you do all your clever stuff you're counting you know like your
genius stuff when you're doing really clever things that uses this part of the
brain you don't have access to this part of the brain if your amygdala takes
control now if you're in a place where your amygdala is taking control on a
regular basis what happens is it rewires your brain and your amygdala starts
getting stronger all right which means your amygdala is able to able to take
over and so what do you have there what if you see someone right who flips
out and gets angry really really easily or they have an emotional meltdown
really easily you know like if they get really terrified or they get really
angry what's happening there is that person they have got very little amygdala
control all right and so your rhythm the rhythm of your life can start changing
and rewiring your brain and this all was this is all a big part of the the
science of transformation let me give you another thing here about your brain
okay so on this part here right say that you've had an amygdala that's
gotten really powerful and it's like taking over this is how the
rhythm of your life can actually help is because a practice right if you start
practicing taking back control now I won't go into too much depth about it
right now but I'll just say there's a process of practice habit reflex a
practice creates a habit a habit creates a reflex a reflex creates a
lifestyle and a lifestyle creates a state of being okay so this you can
utilize this process of practicing so a practice becomes a habit a
habit becomes a reflex a reflex becomes a lifestyle a lifestyle becomes a state
of being you can live with this rhythm where you're practicing you know
spiritual practices or you're practicing all these things and actually rewire
your brain now that's something we're going to talk more about a whole bunch
in this process of the rite of passage is that you can rewire your brain to
serve you but before we go any further on that I want to talk about this word
here neuroplasticity okay say with me neuroplasticity neuroplasticity what is
that neuroplasticity is it's kind of gives it away a little bit it's like
it's about how malleable your brain is okay how malleable is your brain if
you've got a really hard brain you know like your brain it doesn't have much
neuroplasticity then it's going to be really difficult for you to learn new
things okay which right when we're in the process of renewing our minds it
learning is heavily involved in that process okay so part of this process of
renewing your mind is you're going to requires your brain now this belief
system side here I'll just touch on here as well right beliefs belong to the
spirit realm and they determine your relationship with the spirit realm so
whatever your belief systems are we're and you could say agreements as well
this is so powerful wherever your agreements are will determine your
interaction with the spirit realm okay so whatever yeah you so agreements same
thing as well as faith so your agreements your faith they determine
your interaction with the spirit realm
next thing here that we're going to touch on just this neuroplasticity is
that your spiritual disciplines impact the
Neuroplasticity of your brain. For example, gratitude that impacts the neuroplasticity of your brain
then also the practices that you have in your life your nutrition your
Connections the environment you live in the attitudes that you have like hatred is going to be terrible for neuroplasticity
But love is going to bless it
So we're going to talk more about this concept of the rhythms of life because the rhythms of life your nutrition
You know the chemicals
That are you're producing
That just like that even you're giving your brain, you know, like if you don't have certain chemicals
Your brain won't be able to function the way it's designed to function
So I think I'm going to wrap this up for right now. I think that gives you a little bit of an
insight and to
Into the concept of the science of transformation stop the share coming back here
Sweet. Okay. So let me know if you found that helpful
It's gonna make it's going to become more and more significant understanding this process as we go forward and as we launch into
what's coming next in session two, which is actually just what we're going to start getting to now is
I've talked like these big dreams, right? I've talked big dreams about the five pillars about stepping into divine life
Divine relationships divine health divine abundance and divine
Divine assignments, so those are big concepts, but we've got to ground it. Okay, we've got to ground it
We've got to bring it back to achievable things. What if you feel like you're a million miles away?
What if that feels like it's just completely unachievable
What if it feels like oh, that's too far
Well, what I'm what we're going to do is we go forward in the rite of passage
Program is we're going to ground this and the next session
We're going to start grounding this into a daily rhythm of life how your daily rhythm of life
you can you can implement a daily rhythm of life that is based on the science of
Transformation that will actually start fast tracking your results. So if you like the concept of
Yep, I really want to see results. I want to see transformation in my life
then the next session is going to start getting really really practical of how you can create a
Rhythm in your life that is designed to produce
Exponential growth in the process of renewing your mind. There's a lot that goes into it. It's a beautiful journey and
It's well worth the journey
because every time you make
Progress in this process every time you grow every step you take you have a greater
Manifestation of the divine life in your life fam. I hope that's been beautiful
Let me pray for you and then we're going to wrap this session up
For for now and our next session. We're going to be jumping into exactly how we can start grounding this with
Practices. Okay. I put practices in there. I put that that that
Statement practice a practice creates a habit a habit creates a reflex a reflex creates a lifestyle lifestyle cracks
A state of being I put that in there because the science of transformation is the science of how you can completely
Redesign your world redesign reality shift from whatever your current state of being is into the divine life
Let's pray and then we'll wrap this session up
Papa I
thank you so much for
every person who is
Hearing this I thank you for everyone that's live right now and all those that are to come in the replays and in the
Journey together that we're going to share in this rite of passage
program Holy Spirit I
Thank you
For your grace on us to renew our minds like never before
Holy Spirit. I thank you as well for what you're doing. I want to celebrate right now
your wildest promises
Jesus I want to thank you right now that you
That you call us out to greatness that blows our minds to greatness that is beyond what we've
ever
Thought of dreamed of asked for imagined Jesus. I thank you that you
Don't call us to small things, but you've called us to greatness beyond what we've imagined
Holy Spirit. I thank you that you
Are doing a work in each of our hearts and minds and brains and bodies right now
And I thank you even now Holy Spirit for bringing a massive
Alignment into our bodies. I thank you for bringing
chemical alignments. I thank you for bringing revelatory alignments. I thank
you for bringing alignment in our minds. I thank you for bringing truth to the
deepest parts of our conscious, our subconscious, and our unconscious. I thank
you for, Holy Spirit as well, I thank you for really coming on us in a way that
refines us. We want to ask Holy Spirit that you would bring a refiner's fire
upon our lives. Holy Spirit, the lies that are hidden in the depths of our
conscious and subconscious and unconscious, Holy Spirit, we're giving
you permission right now to say whatever you want to say, to speak however you
want to speak, to move in our hearts however you want to move, but we say to
Holy Spirit, do whatever it takes. Holy Spirit, do whatever it takes to cleanse
our minds, to renew our minds, to heal our minds, bring revelation to the depths
and the core of our being. And Holy Spirit, we want to give you permission as
well that where you need to cut things out, you cut them out, but we submit
ourselves and we surrender afresh, Holy Spirit, to your leading and your guiding
in this process of the transformation of our hearts and minds and lives. And we
give you all the glory and all the honor for all you're doing. Amen.
Beautiful fam. Thank you so much for being with me for this session. I'm
really excited for our next one. We are halfway through the Rite of Passage
challenge now. I'll be emailing you. It's going to be a great
adventure and we'll see you very soon. So bless you. Bye bye.
