1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.840
All right, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:11.480
I am, I love this time that we get together.

3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:16.480
This is such an important, I just feel like God has impressed on me.

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.960
This is such an important thing that we're doing to have this community and to have it

5
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.260
be a place of growing.

6
00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:30.620
And so I'm going to be sharing some things to help you grow, to truly achieve your goals,

7
00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:33.860
dreams, and desires as God downloads them.

8
00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:41.940
As I was sharing earlier, I see this as a chance for us all to link arms and not carry,

9
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:52.180
but support and encourage and pray for and share and do what it takes to help each one

10
00:00:52.180 --> 00:00:57.660
of us cross the finish line of the goals, dreams, and desires we have for this year.

11
00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:02.100
Not some far, far away, but here and now.

12
00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:06.940
So I'm going to share some thoughts with you right now, and of course you'll get these

13
00:01:06.940 --> 00:01:12.460
in your portal, but I want to go over that right now.

14
00:01:12.460 --> 00:01:18.420
So I'm going to share the screen and then I'm going to open this.

15
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:19.420
All right.

16
00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:21.340
Is everybody seeing that now?

17
00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:22.500
Can you give me a high five?

18
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:23.500
Okay.

19
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:24.500
Beautiful.

20
00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:30.300
So I want to talk about something that has come up a lot in coaching over this week,

21
00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:35.980
and I can see that it's a message that God wants out and for all of us.

22
00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:40.100
And so part of what I look at is it's two sides.

23
00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:46.180
On one side, I look at and I say, okay, what are things, like I talked about last week,

24
00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:48.740
what are things to keep you moving forward?

25
00:01:48.740 --> 00:01:53.860
And so that's where we talked about the commitment and the consistency and the chunking and the

26
00:01:53.860 --> 00:01:54.860
calendaring.

27
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:57.380
And you can go back and listen to that again.

28
00:01:57.380 --> 00:02:01.180
Then I look on the other side of it, or what are some of the things that are going to be

29
00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:02.620
the friction?

30
00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:06.540
What are some of the things you're going to face that are going to slow you down, deter

31
00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:08.979
you, hold you back?

32
00:02:08.979 --> 00:02:15.100
And those are what God was really dealing to me today.

33
00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:21.660
And so the first one I want to talk about that I feel is vitally important, and that

34
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:27.580
is the concept of thresholds, of thresholds, okay?

35
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:32.060
And all right, and you guys snap up, wake up.

36
00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:33.740
I see pictures of you guys yawning.

37
00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:34.740
It's not boring.

38
00:02:34.740 --> 00:02:35.740
Come on.

39
00:02:35.740 --> 00:02:36.740
This is going to be on video.

40
00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:37.740
Jump up.

41
00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:38.740
Let's go.

42
00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:39.740
All right.

43
00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:41.420
So I probably should have had you stand up between all of that.

44
00:02:41.420 --> 00:02:43.340
So thresholds.

45
00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:45.540
So let's talk about thresholds.

46
00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:53.140
The dictionary defines thresholds as like an end or a limit or like the extent of a

47
00:02:53.140 --> 00:03:00.020
country, like the line, right, on a country or the extent of a kingdom, right?

48
00:03:00.020 --> 00:03:03.540
And so it sets the limits.

49
00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:04.740
It's the circumference.

50
00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:06.740
It marks the limits.

51
00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:17.820
And so when you see the prayer of Jabez, where he prays in 1 Chronicles 14, and he

52
00:03:17.820 --> 00:03:25.140
says to the Lord, oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory.

53
00:03:25.140 --> 00:03:26.580
How many of you pray that?

54
00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:29.060
Lord, expand, expand my finances.

55
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:30.060
Give me a high five.

56
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:35.700
You know, give me a woo-hoo, expand, expand the number of clients, expand my territories,

57
00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:43.180
expand my business, expand my impact, expand my faith, expand the way that I can contribute

58
00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:44.620
and make a difference.

59
00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:51.500
And so this was Jabez's prayer, Lord, bless me, expand my territory.

60
00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:58.580
Be with me in all that I do and keep me from trouble and pain.

61
00:03:58.580 --> 00:04:05.540
And the cool thing in 1 Chronicles 4.10 is it says, and God granted him the request.

62
00:04:06.380 --> 00:04:07.980
So probably that's true.

63
00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:13.140
Those of you that are praying, how many of you are finding God is granting you?

64
00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:14.220
There's expansion.

65
00:04:14.220 --> 00:04:15.580
You're getting new clients.

66
00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:17.180
You're breaking through things.

67
00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:18.339
You're getting, right?

68
00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:19.820
Your business is growing.

69
00:04:19.820 --> 00:04:22.500
Your money might be growing.

70
00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:33.300
And yet what happens when we expand our territory is we come up against a threshold.

71
00:04:33.340 --> 00:04:43.900
And so you press up and you're going into new territory and your brain, which is wired

72
00:04:43.900 --> 00:04:46.300
to make you feel safe.

73
00:04:46.300 --> 00:04:50.700
Your brain is like, uh-oh, alarms going off.

74
00:04:50.700 --> 00:04:52.780
Things are changing here.

75
00:04:52.780 --> 00:04:54.180
This can be dangerous.

76
00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.780
This is not familiar.

77
00:04:56.780 --> 00:04:59.300
And it wants to pull you back in.

78
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.600
And when you're aware this is happening, you can recognize it and go, oh, oh yeah, Brenda

79
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.780
talked about thresholds, I recognize this.

80
00:05:10.780 --> 00:05:15.040
And so I want to go through what it is and what to do, because this is going to be vitally

81
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.600
important for you to truly achieve your goals, dreams, and desires, especially if they're

82
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.640
bigger or different than anything you've done.

83
00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:30.080
And so the first thing is awareness, to think about your thinking, right?

84
00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:33.160
Scripture says we can take every thought captive.

85
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:40.520
So to be able to think about your thinking, and instead of getting sucked into your story,

86
00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:46.360
where your story and your thinking is running you, you become the observer.

87
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.360
This is the beautiful thing about being human, metacognition, we can do that.

88
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.980
We are not our thoughts, we can think about our thoughts, we can analyze, we can watch

89
00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:57.160
our thoughts, it's what makes us unique, right?

90
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.560
We wouldn't be able to take our thoughts captive if we weren't doing this.

91
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.720
And so you back up and you look at your stories, and what are they?

92
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.400
Do you have stories of lack, limitation, overwhelm?

93
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:15.080
Let me tell you what some of the stories look like when you're pressing up against a threshold.

94
00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:20.100
They look like, this is too hard, you know, I didn't sign up for this.

95
00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:22.700
I didn't realize it was going to be so hard.

96
00:06:22.700 --> 00:06:24.220
This is hard.

97
00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:27.820
Or very often, it'll look like overwhelm.

98
00:06:27.820 --> 00:06:32.700
And so you suddenly, I'm going to talk about it, you get disoriented, and you don't know

99
00:06:32.700 --> 00:06:36.140
which way is coming and which way is going, and you don't know what to do next.

100
00:06:36.140 --> 00:06:40.500
And you just, you start having this feeling of overwhelm.

101
00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:42.380
Any of you experienced that?

102
00:06:42.380 --> 00:06:45.860
When you come up against a threshold where you just start going, man, I don't know what

103
00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:46.860
to do next.

104
00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:49.580
And I got so many things coming, and I don't think I can do all this.

105
00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:51.060
And I feel overwhelmed.

106
00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:52.060
Any of you?

107
00:06:52.060 --> 00:06:53.540
Am I talking to any of you?

108
00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:58.460
And so this is a sign that you're pressing up against a threshold.

109
00:06:58.460 --> 00:07:02.940
And the story could be, I don't know enough, I don't have enough time, there's not enough

110
00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:12.220
of me, I need two of me, five of me, I don't have enough help, I don't have enough resources.

111
00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:20.540
And so we go, we pray like Jabez, we pray to enlarge our territory, and God grants it

112
00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:22.580
like he did to Jabez.

113
00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:28.940
And now all of a sudden, we're doing different, we're doing more, we're doing bigger, we're

114
00:07:28.940 --> 00:07:33.340
in territory that is not familiar.

115
00:07:33.340 --> 00:07:38.100
And you're pressing up against this threshold and these stories start coming up.

116
00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:41.980
I can't do this, I wasn't cut out for this, I'm too overwhelmed.

117
00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:45.500
I don't know enough, I don't have enough.

118
00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:52.140
And that's the sign that you're starting to press up against these thresholds.

119
00:07:52.140 --> 00:07:57.340
And another way to think about it is set points.

120
00:07:57.340 --> 00:08:01.020
So we all have set points.

121
00:08:01.020 --> 00:08:05.460
And a set point, you can think of like in your home, the thermostat, like on your heating

122
00:08:05.460 --> 00:08:07.440
and air conditioning.

123
00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:11.360
So you set it at 68 or 70 or 72.

124
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:18.880
And if it gets above 72, it shuts down or if it's air conditioning, it turns on.

125
00:08:18.880 --> 00:08:25.000
And if it gets down below like 72, it kicks on the heater or whatever, you understand

126
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.080
what I'm saying.

127
00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:32.120
And so we have set points to make sure it goes back to that 72 or that 68 or whatever

128
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:33.960
the set point is.

129
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.799
Well, you have set points around money.

130
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:44.640
You can make a certain amount if suddenly your income goes way up.

131
00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:49.040
If you don't understand this set point, you're going to see some things happen.

132
00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:52.720
Like all of a sudden you'll get expenses and it seems like no matter how much you make,

133
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.720
you keep making more, your expenses are always the same.

134
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.200
This is an example of a set point.

135
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.320
You have set points around your health, you have set points around how much love you can

136
00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:08.960
give and receive, how much affection you can give and receive, how much risk you can take,

137
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.960
how much...

138
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.720
All of these things are set points.

139
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.360
And so what happens is when you leap, it triggers.

140
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:24.040
You leap from maybe having been an employee to being self-employed.

141
00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:26.260
You leap from not working to working.

142
00:09:26.260 --> 00:09:28.480
You leap from single to married.

143
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:32.360
You leap in your income, your status level.

144
00:09:32.400 --> 00:09:39.720
You leap from rising up to management or you leap into leadership and it triggers your

145
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.320
brain set point, the need for safety and familiarity.

146
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:50.920
So the first step is if you're aware and you understand this is happening, it won't set

147
00:09:50.920 --> 00:09:53.560
you back so much.

148
00:09:53.560 --> 00:09:58.040
So I've had this come up in coaching calls a lot this week.

149
00:09:58.040 --> 00:09:59.960
And I have one gal...

150
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.240
that is a client that went from working for a network marketing

151
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:13.160
or direct selling company to really launching her own coaching and teaching business.

152
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.080
Right. So in the direct selling company, everything was done for her.

153
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:18.600
She just had to bring in the sales.

154
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.440
But someone else was doing the accounting

155
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.480
and the paperwork and the shipping and the receiving and the marketing.

156
00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:26.160
And she just needed to do a certain portion.

157
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.520
Right now, all of a sudden, she's got her own business.

158
00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:32.760
And, you know, I coached her and she made more in a week.

159
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.560
She brought in twenty five new clients.

160
00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:37.240
She made more in a week than she'd made in a month.

161
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.960
So I knew I didn't say anything.

162
00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:41.920
I just observed.

163
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.920
But I knew that probably a threshold was coming.

164
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.400
And the following week in coaching, it was like, wow,

165
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:54.480
like, you know, all those things I talked about, you know, I'm so unorganized.

166
00:10:54.680 --> 00:10:57.080
I have more to do than I can possibly do.

167
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:58.440
I don't think I can get to this.

168
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.840
I wonder how I'm going to, you know, and so

169
00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:06.680
I had to teach her about this and I've had a few clients this week.

170
00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:08.160
So

171
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.480
every time that we expand our territory,

172
00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:17.760
every time we press up or cross a threshold, what you have to understand is

173
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:24.320
it requires a new level of being it requires a new consciousness.

174
00:11:24.520 --> 00:11:27.200
So the old consciousness, you know,

175
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:34.400
the the five figure income consciousness doesn't work in the six figure income.

176
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:39.160
The employee consciousness doesn't work in the self-employment.

177
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:44.960
Right. The follower consciousness doesn't work in the leader.

178
00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:49.280
Right. And so there's a new with each level,

179
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:54.640
each threshold, there's a new way of perceiving how you interpret things.

180
00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:57.240
There's a new way of believing.

181
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:02.200
There's a new way of thinking, a new way of thinking about yourself.

182
00:12:02.400 --> 00:12:05.680
You have to change the way you view yourself

183
00:12:05.880 --> 00:12:09.480
to no longer see yourself as a follower, see yourself as a leader,

184
00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:13.440
no longer see yourself as an employee, see yourself as an employer,

185
00:12:13.640 --> 00:12:18.760
no longer see yourself as a five figure earner, see yourself as six figure or seven

186
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.440
figure. You see each one of these levels.

187
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:26.360
There's a new way of thinking about yourself, a new way of thinking about God,

188
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:31.920
a new way of thinking about life, a new way of thinking about what is possible.

189
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:38.680
And you are going to begin to move from the old neural pathways.

190
00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:40.960
So, you know, like if there's, you know,

191
00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:44.880
a forest with these trails, like when you go hiking or something,

192
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.320
you know, those are established trails, your old way of thinking,

193
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.240
your old way of believing, your old way of seeing yourself.

194
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.200
Those are actual pathways in your brain, neural pathways.

195
00:12:55.400 --> 00:12:58.120
They're fired together, they're wired together.

196
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.320
And this is by default where you go.

197
00:13:01.520 --> 00:13:04.320
All right. So now what are you doing?

198
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:05.760
You're walking through the woods.

199
00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:07.440
You're creating a whole new path.

200
00:13:07.640 --> 00:13:11.800
And there's thickets and you've got to cut stuff back and move stuff out of the way.

201
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.880
And you've got to step on the ground and get steady on your step.

202
00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:19.360
And you've got to walk it back and forth more than once to make a path.

203
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.160
You've got to start walking it every day

204
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.720
until you find that little path and it gets bigger and it gets stronger.

205
00:13:24.920 --> 00:13:27.280
This is literally happening in your brain.

206
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.160
This is the neuroplasticity of your brain

207
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.280
that you can create these new neural pathways.

208
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.000
OK, but here's what you got to know.

209
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.080
What's normal?

210
00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:41.280
It can feel when you're in the middle of it, like you're falling apart.

211
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.680
It can feel like a meltdown

212
00:13:43.880 --> 00:13:50.240
because God is dismantling these old neural pathways, breaking them down.

213
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.880
And what is he creating in you?

214
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:58.600
Right. These new neural pathways, this this new being you're stepping in,

215
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:03.120
you're showing up as a new being, you're you're you're showing up

216
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.480
to step into the fullest version of you.

217
00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:09.360
And I want you to understand,

218
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.560
I want you to get really inspired by this.

219
00:14:12.760 --> 00:14:15.760
The way that God does things, there's no end to that.

220
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.200
OK, there's no end to the universe.

221
00:14:19.400 --> 00:14:20.880
It's ever expanding.

222
00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:21.880
Just think about that.

223
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.280
There's no end to the number of stars being created,

224
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.320
the number of galaxies, the number of planets.

225
00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:32.280
What God does is always ever expanding.

226
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.680
And so is your consciousness.

227
00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:38.760
So is you. So is what you're capable of doing.

228
00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:42.040
There's no end to how much love you can give.

229
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.400
There's no end to how much you can learn.

230
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:51.000
There's no end to how many new traits and skills and characters.

231
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.360
There's no end.

232
00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:56.640
You see, I want you to understand that you are created.

233
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.280
And but but you have to have a growth mindset.

234
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.720
There's two kinds of mindsets, right?

235
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.680
There's set mindsets, right, which is this is how I am.

236
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.120
This is who I am.

237
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.760
This is how much I can do.

238
00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:12.920
I can't do that. I don't have that's a set mindset.

239
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.600
You got to have a growth mindset that says, what's possible, God?

240
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.920
I'm willing. I'm open.

241
00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:22.480
I'm available. Right.

242
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:29.080
And so so the idea is you growing into the fullest version of you.

243
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.240
So when you're going through this, it can feel like disorientation.

244
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.080
And I want you to look at that word disorientation,

245
00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:44.000
dis separating from the old orientation.

246
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.960
You see, your old orientation was based on your old programming,

247
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:53.320
your old perception of reality, your old neural pathways.

248
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:57.200
So when you're getting a new orientation, you're going to feel disoriented.

249
00:15:58.040 --> 00:16:00.800
I want you guys to know who this is cool.

250
00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:02.480
It means I'm growing.

251
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.680
Yeah, I'm on track.

252
00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:05.600
It's supposed to feel crazy like this.

253
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.480
The world's supposed to feel like it's spinning when I'm growing.

254
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.720
I just stepped up to a new level.

255
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.600
It's not just me.

256
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.440
So you got to get rid of the shadows.

257
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.160
It doesn't mean I'm too stupid or, you know, I can't do this

258
00:16:18.160 --> 00:16:19.960
or all those old shadows.

259
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.840
No, it means you're coming to a new threshold.

260
00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:28.400
So I like First Corinthians 1311.

261
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.160
That says, when I was a child, I talked like a child,

262
00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:39.440
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child, when I became a man,

263
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.640
I did away with childish things.

264
00:16:42.640 --> 00:16:45.120
This is going to go on glory to glory to glory.

265
00:16:45.400 --> 00:16:47.440
So there's this disorientation.

266
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.000
There's this disintegrating, again,

267
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:56.040
disseparating from integrating from the old integrations,

268
00:16:56.040 --> 00:16:59.000
the old synapses, the old neural pathways.

269
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.000
And so literally it feels like you're dying, like it's death.

270
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.000
You're dying to the old belief systems.

271
00:17:06.560 --> 00:17:09.800
Well, I always have anxiety.

272
00:17:09.800 --> 00:17:13.160
I always, you know, don't know how to do this.

273
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.800
I always get stuck, whatever those old right.

274
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.800
You begin to die to those old structures,

275
00:17:20.800 --> 00:17:22.800
and there's a lot of powerful scriptures.

276
00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:26.680
You know, John 1224 says, I tell you the truth.

277
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:31.880
Unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone.

278
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:37.160
But it's death produces many new kernels of plentiful harvest of new lives.

279
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.560
And so you look in nature at the seed and that shell,

280
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:46.200
which we all have the shell, this protective mechanism.

281
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.040
Starts to disintegrate.

282
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.120
So like the client I told you about,

283
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.480
maybe you can relate. I certainly could.

284
00:17:56.800 --> 00:17:59.320
She's the kind that can juggle a lot of plates,

285
00:17:59.320 --> 00:18:01.720
keep a lot of plates juggling in the air.

286
00:18:02.120 --> 00:18:05.640
She's the kind of person that people go, man, I don't know how you do it.

287
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.240
I relate. I used to juggle like that. Right.

288
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.720
But that meant she is got to have a super amount of control.

289
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.200
She crosses every T, she dots every eye.

290
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:19.040
She's got to schedule every moment. She's got it right.

291
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.680
She had a way of being that is very much perfectionism

292
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.520
and everything being in a certain order in a certain way.

293
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.800
And all of a sudden it just felt like nothing was working

294
00:18:30.800 --> 00:18:33.200
and everything was disintegrating. Right.

295
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:39.640
And and so you see that in First Corinthians 1531.

296
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.640
I assure you, believers, by the pride which I have in you,

297
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.800
your union with Christ Jesus, our Lord.

298
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.240
I die daily. I die to myself daily.

299
00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:54.880
There is egoic structures

300
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.320
that have protected you.

301
00:18:57.320 --> 00:19:00.440
You learned how to protect yourself

302
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.080
way back from the trauma of your childhood,

303
00:19:04.080 --> 00:19:06.240
whatever the trauma drama was.

304
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.680
And you came up with a view, a map of reality.

305
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:13.320
You created those neural pathways that said, this is how the world is.

306
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:15.520
This is how I am.

307
00:19:15.520 --> 00:19:18.040
Therefore, I got to do this.

308
00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:19.960
I got to be this. Right.

309
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.520
So like in the case, and we're going to talk about this,

310
00:19:24.080 --> 00:19:26.960
if not tonight, on the on the next call,

311
00:19:28.600 --> 00:19:32.080
like in my case, all right, a lot of abandonment. Right.

312
00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:36.440
My mom was in you know, she was addicted to prescription pain pills.

313
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:39.240
She was bipolar. She was

314
00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:42.520
she was in she was in the bottle.

315
00:19:42.560 --> 00:19:44.640
And and so

316
00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:47.920
what you're going to find,

317
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:54.000
you know, for me is my worldview was, you know, my dad was was into work.

318
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.280
My mom was in the bottle.

319
00:19:55.280 --> 00:20:00.040
Both of them, alcoholics, child of alcoholics often are left to fend for.

320
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.000
themselves, because the parents don't have the resources to pour

321
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.360
into the kids, you know, so the kids pretty much raised

322
00:20:06.360 --> 00:20:12.120
themselves. So that was me. And so I have this, I have this

323
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:16.600
visual, I have this picture from my childhood. And I'm sitting out

324
00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:20.200
kind of in the woods, I would I would do that. And I'm sitting

325
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.320
with my arm around my dog. And it's just me and my dog. I'm

326
00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:26.720
very disheveled. My hair's a mess. Nobody, you know, taught

327
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:31.520
me or did my hair, my clothes don't match. And I got my arm

328
00:20:31.520 --> 00:20:36.080
around the dog and everything about it showed my worldview and

329
00:20:36.080 --> 00:20:40.360
my view of myself, right? The world. I'm all alone. The

330
00:20:40.360 --> 00:20:44.800
world's a lonely place. No one's going to help me. I'm all alone.

331
00:20:44.800 --> 00:20:47.800
No one's going to support me, right? That became my view of

332
00:20:47.800 --> 00:20:52.760
myself. Therefore, you go into your coping mechanisms.

333
00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:58.640
Therefore, I need to be an overachiever on I got to take

334
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.160
care of myself, I'm not going to be dependent on anyone, I'm

335
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:07.760
going to be independent, right. And so for many women, I'm going

336
00:21:07.760 --> 00:21:11.600
to talk about this, you know, we step into our masculine self, we

337
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:17.920
we lose the connection to our feminine self, right. And so

338
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.480
that whole thing is still playing out. That's the egoic

339
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:27.880
structure, right? But that won't work because God, you,

340
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.200
somebody needs to mute themselves, I might be used to

341
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:40.240
me. Um, so that's, that's, that egoic survival mechanism that we

342
00:21:40.280 --> 00:21:46.240
operate in needs to begin to disintegrate for the new to

343
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:51.480
emerge. So for example, you cannot be that super smart,

344
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:54.840
independent, I can do everything on myself, I don't trust anyone,

345
00:21:54.840 --> 00:21:57.920
I don't need anyone, I'll make it happen, kind of girl, I'll

346
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.560
work harder than everyone else all, okay, that won't work in

347
00:22:02.560 --> 00:22:08.640
God's kingdom, that is about collaboration, and cooperation.

348
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:13.000
And right, it's a lot of codes, right in the Bible, right, we're

349
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:18.520
called to co create. And so that old structure has to begin

350
00:22:18.520 --> 00:22:23.920
to disintegrate, we begin to die to that that seed that the shell

351
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:28.320
on that that hard protective seed that worked for a while

352
00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:32.280
doesn't work anymore. Because now you're tired. Now you're

353
00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:36.480
sick. Now you're burned out. Now you're anxious, you thought you

354
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.240
could carry it, it gave you a lot of skills, you got really

355
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.160
good, you know, you built some really good habits and stuff.

356
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:47.240
But it's no longer working at this new level, you see. And so

357
00:22:47.320 --> 00:22:52.600
this is what this is, where the threshold and the and the idea

358
00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:58.640
of the threshold. And so, so what happens is the flesh, the

359
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:04.200
mind, the ego wants to pull back, when it hits the

360
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:08.760
threshold, it wants to get safe. And so it says things like, you

361
00:23:08.760 --> 00:23:11.200
know what, I'm just not cut out for this, I'm going to wait, I'm

362
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.480
going to put it off more, I think I'll go get more school,

363
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.920
I think I'll take another class, I think I'll just wait till next

364
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.040
year, the timing's not right. I think I'm going to drop out of

365
00:23:21.040 --> 00:23:24.320
this group, I can't really afford it. I think, you know, I

366
00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:27.600
think I got I dug in too deep. I think I think I got to back off

367
00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:31.040
a little bit. I think I'm trying to do too much. And, and some of

368
00:23:31.040 --> 00:23:34.120
you have a laughter. It's a shadow laughter that I'm talking

369
00:23:34.120 --> 00:23:37.000
the truth. You know what I'm talking about? Right? Maybe I

370
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.640
should go back to my job. Yeah, I know. I've been reading your

371
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:44.680
mail, because it's my mail, too. I get it. And so and so

372
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.120
there's that thinking is going to happen. So I'm going to warn

373
00:23:48.120 --> 00:23:53.000
you now. So you recognize it, not the time to drop out of this

374
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:57.360
support and this community. It's not the time to fall back,

375
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.680
right? The Bible says we're not those who press, you know, fall

376
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:08.320
back. But we go forward, right. And so, on one sense, you're

377
00:24:08.320 --> 00:24:12.240
kind to yourself, and you honor your inner child, that little

378
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:18.400
girl is still in you. Okay. And so you have compassion, you hold

379
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.320
the space for her. And you say, you know what, I know, I know

380
00:24:22.320 --> 00:24:27.200
this feels scary. But we're gonna be okay. I know this is

381
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.920
new territory. But we're gonna we're gonna get through this

382
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:34.520
Christ in me, we're gonna get through this. I feel you. I love

383
00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:40.400
you. I'm never going to abandon you. Because we're going to do

384
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:44.360
in future teachings, everything starts in the inner, if you're

385
00:24:44.360 --> 00:24:48.120
dealing with abandonment, you're looking at where am I

386
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.480
abandoning me, right? And you're dealing with commitment issues,

387
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:57.920
where am I not committing to myself. So you begin here with

388
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.040
your little girl, I'm not going to abandon

389
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.080
you. I'm here with you. I love you. We're going to get through this. We can do this, right?

390
00:25:06.800 --> 00:25:15.200
And so what I want you to get excited about is that this whole adventure is about going

391
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:21.680
from glory to glory, stepping into the greatest and the highest version.

392
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:28.560
Ladies, there is such a high version of you that right now you maybe can't even begin to imagine

393
00:25:28.560 --> 00:25:36.400
where God wants to take you. There is such a great version of who God created you to be.

394
00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:45.520
And I just, I love, I think I put it here somewhere, but it looks like it didn't get

395
00:25:45.520 --> 00:25:52.880
in here. But basically it says, we're basically, we're going from glory to glory. And there's

396
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.600
another person here that looks like didn't get put in there. And I'll come back and put it in

397
00:25:57.600 --> 00:26:04.480
where Paul says, I'm not going to rest until Christ is fully formed in you. So we're growing

398
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:11.760
into the fullness of Christ. We're growing into the fullest, most beautiful, most loving,

399
00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:19.680
most creative, most powerful version of ourself. That's what this is really all about.

400
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:26.160
The money, the money's just an effect. Okay. The business, the business is just an effect.

401
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:33.600
It's a side thing. What this is really about is you stepping into the biggest, highest, most

402
00:26:33.600 --> 00:26:41.520
beautiful version of you. That's what God has in mind. Okay. It's this ever expanding version that

403
00:26:41.520 --> 00:26:52.640
has no limits for you. And so you begin to have some power questions as you're hitting this new

404
00:26:52.640 --> 00:27:02.000
reality. And so it's like, Lord, renew, redo again, make new, renew my mind in this new season.

405
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:10.560
How do I need to think differently? This new level? How do I need to think differently? Okay.

406
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.920
What are the new beliefs for this new season? What are the new beliefs about God?

407
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:24.560
What are the new beliefs about money? What are the new beliefs about business? What are,

408
00:27:24.560 --> 00:27:33.440
what do you believe about failure? What do you believe about business? Because part of these

409
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:40.160
thresholds is we get these conflicting, these value conflicts, right? A lot of women say to me,

410
00:27:41.120 --> 00:27:48.880
either consciously or unconsciously, I'm really afraid of growing because I may not have time for

411
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:55.040
my family, or I'm really afraid of growing and making a lot of money. Cause I might be greedy

412
00:27:55.040 --> 00:28:00.720
or I'm really afraid of growing because I just won't be able to manage it all. Or I won't have

413
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:06.960
time for myself anymore. I won't have a life, whatever it is, you know, we've got these stories

414
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:15.440
that we've got on one side, Lord, you know, like Jabez, enlarge my territory, Lord. And we've got

415
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:21.440
the brain going, no, I don't know if that's a good idea. Too much money kind of corrupts. I, I, I,

416
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:26.160
I might not be able to handle it. I think I might crash and burn. You got these value conflicts

417
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:35.120
going on, right? Any of you can relate to what I'm talking about. So, um, what new beliefs do I need

418
00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:42.320
to have about failure? Most who have been in business for any time, they don't even believe

419
00:28:42.320 --> 00:28:47.840
in failure. I mean, failure is if I, if I just quit and don't do anything, everything else is

420
00:28:47.840 --> 00:28:53.920
just a learning opportunity. Everything else is just a growth opportunity. Everything else is

421
00:28:53.920 --> 00:29:00.080
just, um, like what are our beliefs or our attitudes when things go wrong? Um, you know,

422
00:29:00.080 --> 00:29:07.280
I've developed 30 years in business, what I call flexibility drills, right? So if something goes

423
00:29:07.280 --> 00:29:14.320
wrong, I don't go down that path. Like, Oh no, we're doomed. You know, some of you know, you

424
00:29:14.320 --> 00:29:21.280
know, Cindy and I, you know, work through in the last prosper TV, you know, they, the, the fire

425
00:29:21.280 --> 00:29:25.920
marshals came in the night before and said, we couldn't use the studio. And they told us there

426
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:32.720
was going to be no TV program. What do you do in that situation? Do you just like curl up in a ball

427
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:38.240
and cry and call everyone and say, no, it's not going to work. Or do you look at as a flexibility

428
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:43.840
drill and you go, what else is possible? What else is possible? How else can we make it happen? What

429
00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:49.520
else? And so you look at things as a flexibility drill, and you have the belief system that,

430
00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:54.720
you know what, all things work together for good. That's a, that's a Bible promise. And all the

431
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:59.840
Bible promises are yes. And amen. So, you know what, this is going to be even better.

432
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.000
So you develop new attitudes.

433
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.000
Like one of my favorite things you'll hear me saying all the time is it'll be perfect.

434
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:08.000
It's perfect.

435
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.000
It's perfect.

436
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:10.000
It'll just be perfect.

437
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.000
It can look like it's falling to crap.

438
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:18.000
Like the TV show is just looking like it was falling apart.

439
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.000
But I kept saying it's going to be even better.

440
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:21.000
It's going to be perfect.

441
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:22.000
It's going to be perfect.

442
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.000
And, you know, thanks to Cindy, thanks to a lot of teamwork.

443
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.000
You know, it was way beyond.

444
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:30.000
It was way better than it had ever been.

445
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:36.000
So, again, you see, that requires a new level of attitude, of stick-to-itiveness,

446
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:41.000
of not making it about yourself, not going into, like, condemnation.

447
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.000
Like, oh, I'm such a loser.

448
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.000
Nothing ever works for me.

449
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:45.000
I can't do this.

450
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.000
I don't know why I even think I can.

451
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:48.000
Right?

452
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.000
You could go into that self-sabotage model if you're not understanding.

453
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:55.000
I'm up against a threshold.

454
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:58.000
Lord, renew my mind.

455
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.000
How do I need to think differently?

456
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:05.000
Lord, what new beliefs about you, about business, about money, about life,

457
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.000
do I need to have right now?

458
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.000
You journal this.

459
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:10.000
You pray into this.

460
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:11.000
You read.

461
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.000
You ask.

462
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.000
You get coaching.

463
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:17.000
You know, what new attitudes do I need to have?

464
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:20.000
Who do I need to be?

465
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.000
Right?

466
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.000
So you actually embody this new level.

467
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.000
Who do I need to be?

468
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.000
What traits do I need to embody?

469
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:33.000
More peace, more patience, more flexibility, more confidence, more,

470
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.000
you know, whatever.

471
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:39.000
Like, what do I need to embody?

472
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:42.000
So in your worksheet that you're going to get,

473
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.000
there's some places for reflection.

474
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:50.000
Like, what beliefs about myself, about God, about life, about business,

475
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.000
do I need to either add or delete?

476
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.000
What do I need to stop believing?

477
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.000
What do I need to start believing for this new level that I'm envisioning

478
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:02.000
that God has put in my heart, for my vision,

479
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.000
for it really to be manifesting?

480
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.000
What beliefs need to change?

481
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:12.000
What attitudes, what self-talk do I need to stop?

482
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:16.000
What traits do I need to embody?

483
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:20.000
Who do I need to be to step into this new level?

484
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.000
Do I need to be more confident?

485
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:24.000
Do I need to be more assertive?

486
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.000
Do I need to be more collaborative?

487
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.000
Do I need to be more patient?

488
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.000
Do I need to be more loving?

489
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.000
Do I need to be more communicative?

490
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:37.000
Like, you pick something, one or two,

491
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:41.000
that you just ask the Lord that you're going to start embodying that.

492
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:46.000
Well, if I was more confident, how would I dress?

493
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.000
How would I talk?

494
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:49.000
What would I read?

495
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.000
What would I say?

496
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:53.000
How would I spend my time?

497
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:59.000
If I was more patient, if I embodied patience,

498
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.000
what would I say more often?

499
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:03.000
What would I read?

500
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:05.000
What would I think about?

501
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.000
What would I do?

502
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:13.000
If I were a leader, if I were a leader, how would I dress?

503
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.000
How would I show up?

504
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:17.000
How would I talk?

505
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:21.000
If I were a healer, if I was really,

506
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:27.000
if God's healing was flowing through me, right,

507
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:29.000
what would I be doing differently?

508
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:34.000
If I were incredibly financially successful,

509
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.000
what would I be doing differently?

510
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.000
How would I be living?

511
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.000
You see, we live this in our mind many times

512
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.000
before we actually live it for real.

513
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:48.000
We start just like as a child, she wants to be a princess.

514
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:50.000
She wants to be a bride.

515
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.000
And from the time she's a little girl,

516
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.000
she's like putting on those high heels.

517
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:56.000
She's like putting on those fake earrings.

518
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.000
She's putting on and she's imagining it.

519
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.000
She's walked down the aisle, you know,

520
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.000
a thousand times before she gets married, right?

521
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.000
That's the way neural pathways are formed.

522
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:12.000
We walk down this path as we go from glory to glory,

523
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:17.000
as we step into the fullness of who God says we are

524
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:20.000
and what God says we can do.

525
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.000
I want to remind you, we have Christ in us.

526
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.000
That means you have infinite everything,

527
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:29.000
infinite potential, infinite wisdom,

528
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:33.000
infinite love, infinite abilities.

529
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:35.000
Everything is in you.

530
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.000
You're not trying to get something from the outside.

531
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:41.000
Those of you that have been around me long enough,

532
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.000
I preach this all the time.

533
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:45.000
You're not trying to get something.

534
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.000
You're trying to release what's already in you.

535
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.000
God has already placed this in you.

536
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.000
The spirit of God in you has already placed this in you.

537
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.000
You wouldn't have the vision.

538
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:59.000
God's not the kind of God that gives you a vision and says,

539
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.000
Well, ha, ha, ha.

540
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.360
Glad you got the vision, but you'll never get there.

541
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:07.880
No, the very fact that you have the desire,

542
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:12.840
D means of, sire, of the sire, of God.

543
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:16.440
The very fact that you have that is an indication

544
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:19.520
that it's part of God's plan and purpose for you

545
00:35:19.520 --> 00:35:21.920
because your heart's been renewed.

546
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:23.960
And when you tap into that,

547
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:28.000
and when we come back on the first Tuesday, all right,

548
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.000
when we come back on the first Tuesday,

549
00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:34.720
I'm gonna get really, really deep into this

550
00:35:34.720 --> 00:35:39.720
on really how to create this balance in your life,

551
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:44.040
how to walk this out, understanding the balance,

552
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:46.320
really understanding how to walk this out.

553
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:49.920
So very, to keep your equilibrium as you go through this,

554
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:51.960
we're gonna really get into some powerful tools

555
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:54.840
on the first Tuesday, okay, next month,

556
00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:55.960
because it's too much tonight.

557
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:57.920
I wanna have community time.

558
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:02.960
For right now, tonight, the thought is just,

559
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.680
number one, you're having awareness.

560
00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:08.360
Oh, I see, I'm ever expanding.

561
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.320
And every time I expand,

562
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.920
every time God answers my J-best prayer,

563
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:15.480
there's gonna be a pushback.

564
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.960
When I approach a threshold, my mind, my ego,

565
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.800
my old self is gonna wanna retreat.

566
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:24.840
And I need to be aware of these stories.

567
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.800
They're not real, they're just stories, okay?

568
00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:29.920
They're just thoughts.

569
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:31.160
And I want you to remember

570
00:36:31.160 --> 00:36:34.000
that your thoughts are never neutral.

571
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.840
Your thoughts are either love-based or fear-based.

572
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.120
They're never neutral.

573
00:36:39.120 --> 00:36:40.360
So you look at the thought.

574
00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:42.600
If it's fear-based, it's not of God.

575
00:36:42.600 --> 00:36:44.600
It's not serving you.

576
00:36:44.600 --> 00:36:46.160
You release it.

577
00:36:46.160 --> 00:36:49.160
You allow it just to flow through you.

578
00:36:49.160 --> 00:36:51.920
You say, huh, interesting point of view

579
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.000
that I have that point of view.

580
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.480
You just kind of look at it, interesting perspective,

581
00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:58.480
talk to yourself.

582
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:00.040
Interesting perspective, Brenda.

583
00:37:00.040 --> 00:37:01.000
Interesting point of view

584
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:03.440
that you have that point of view, Brenda.

585
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:05.360
But that's fear-based, that's not of God

586
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.360
because God did not give us a spirit of fear,

587
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.560
but he gave us a sound mind of love and power.

588
00:37:10.560 --> 00:37:14.120
So God has poured love into our heart

589
00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:17.360
and the whole journey of life is walking this out,

590
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:18.200
love-based.

591
00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:20.480
So we're replacing every fear-based thought

592
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:21.800
with a love-based thought.

593
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:25.400
And so this is the journey.

594
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:26.800
You're gonna hit thresholds.

595
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:28.160
It's normal.

596
00:37:28.160 --> 00:37:29.200
You're not stupid.

597
00:37:29.200 --> 00:37:30.440
You're not behind.

598
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:33.280
You don't lack anything in any other story

599
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:34.280
that you come up with.

600
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:36.440
I've heard them all, I think most of them

601
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.640
in coaching all these years, right?

602
00:37:38.640 --> 00:37:40.000
Whatever the story is,

603
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.160
it's not that you need another certificate

604
00:37:42.160 --> 00:37:44.920
or another course or that, you know,

605
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.280
you're not missing anything.

606
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:47.560
You're not broken.

607
00:37:47.560 --> 00:37:50.800
You're shalom, nothing missing, nothing broken.

608
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:52.000
You've got Christ in you.

609
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:53.400
You've got everything you need.

610
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:56.520
You have all love, all power, all authority.

611
00:37:57.200 --> 00:37:59.000
The power of life and death is in your tongue.

612
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:03.400
You have the ever-expanding ability to grow,

613
00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:07.920
the ever-expanding ability to renew your mind

614
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:11.000
and to think bigger, be bigger, grow bigger,

615
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:14.720
love bigger, live bigger.

616
00:38:14.720 --> 00:38:19.440
And so it's just a process of moving

617
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.680
from fear-based thoughts to love-based thoughts

618
00:38:22.680 --> 00:38:25.760
and learning to step into the beautiful self,

619
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.000
going like the Bible says, from glory to glory,

620
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:33.480
like Paul says, until Christ is fully formed in us.

621
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:35.440
There's no difference when you look at us

622
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:37.080
and you look at Christ.

623
00:38:37.080 --> 00:38:39.440
You look at us and you see the love of Christ.

624
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:41.880
You look at us, you see the power of Christ.

625
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:43.960
You look at us, you see, right?

626
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:48.680
It's just, this is what's being formed in us, all right?

627
00:38:48.680 --> 00:38:53.680
So I pray that that has blessed you on the journey.

628
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:57.160
It's one of the two downloads I have.

629
00:38:57.160 --> 00:38:59.040
And so, like I said,

630
00:38:59.040 --> 00:39:02.800
I'm going to share the rest on the next Tuesday,

631
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:04.800
but this will really get you started

632
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:07.360
as we think about thresholds.

633
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.040
So I'm gonna stop the recording.

634
00:39:09.040 --> 00:39:11.600
We're right on time to get into community time

635
00:39:11.600 --> 00:39:14.920
and really process this and digest this.
