from the beautiful journey, great to have you on board, Neil, freedom, oh, what a beautiful

25
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:05.760
word, oh my gosh, that's massive, delight, oh, hey, Shelpa, yes, freedom and delight,

26
00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:12.880
man, those should be, like, compulsory themes, if anyone's going to preach the gospel, freedom

27
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:20.960
and delight should be just an absolutely compulsory dynamic, compulsory part of it, oh, look at

28
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:28.960
this, resilience, yes, great word, Kiri, great to have you with us, Kiri, oh, awesome, oh,

29
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:35.240
delighted, yes, great, great word, Azelle, oh, agape love, absolutely, Sandy, that's

30
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:41.320
the divine love, divine love is agape love, it's not anything like human love, it's a

31
00:03:41.320 --> 00:03:48.960
love that has no price tag whatsoever, it's an unconditional love, oh, Christine, yes,

32
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:55.160
surrender, isn't that massive, that's huge, surrender is huge, so, wow, that's a powerful

33
00:03:55.160 --> 00:04:06.000
word, wow, so we explored this whole concept of the orphan spirit or the orphan mindset

34
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:15.800
or the orphan paradigm versus a mindset of sonship or a spirit of sonship and that paradigm

35
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:21.800
of sonship and contrasted those and, yes, so there were massive contrasts and the orphan

36
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:29.240
spirit is founded, we looked at these roots in the orphan spirit of inadequacy and of

37
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:35.520
a belief in lack, but it actually goes deeper, the foundation of the orphan spirit goes deeper

38
00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.800
than that and we're going to go deeper today into the foundation of really what the stronghold

39
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.680
of the orphan spirit truly is, what really grips humanity in bondage, the number one

40
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.720
core issue that's actually binding up humanity at the very core of our being, we're going

41
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.960
to explore that and get into that and unpack that and find out how we can get set.

42
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.280
radically completely free from that from that thing. Oh Tanya worthy great great

43
00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:12.680
word there that is awesome. So in this video today we're going to explore how

44
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:21.120
to really cut off the root cut off the root that binds us at the very core of

45
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.960
our being. Well good to see you my man great to have you guys all jumping on

79
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.880
you are if you're in a space you can get comfortable. Why not get comfortable

80
00:08:42.880 --> 00:08:47.200
right now because we don't have to have a message before we have an encounter.

81
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:52.680
The encounter can be right now. Whoa Kiri growing in the love. I am stoked to see

82
00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:56.720
that but we don't have to have a message before we have an encounter. An encounter

83
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.880
is always supposed to lead to a lifestyle. Michelle. Welcome Michelle. Yes

84
00:09:01.880 --> 00:09:05.920
an encounter is supposed to lead to a lifestyle. We're not supposed to just

85
00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:10.040
have love encounters. We're supposed to have a lifestyle of love. A lifestyle

86
00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:15.200
baptized in love. A lifestyle where our love tanks are completely filled

87
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:21.360
every moment of every day and overflowing love. Oh yeah totally Turahui.

88
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:28.440
We don't need to have we don't need to have a counterfeit. We don't need

89
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:35.000
counterfeit ecstasy when we can tap into the real thing. Divine ecstasy. Wow free

90
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.080
and it works perfectly and it's a great trip every time if I'm allowed to use

91
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:48.840
that metaphor. But Papa right now we we welcome you. Holy Spirit we honor you. We

92
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:55.800
love you. Jesus we bless you. We lift up your name Jesus. We honor you. We glorify

gosh, we love you. Wow. I just thank you for opening up, opening up the floodgates

98
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:36.200
of heaven over every person right now. Whether they're watching live or delayed,

99
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:43.560
we thank you for a baptism in your love, breaking out over every single person.

100
00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:52.080
We thank you for a deluge of your love. Wow. A major outpouring. Wow. A major,

101
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:59.360
major outpouring of your love right now. Wow. We thank you for every heart being

102
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.360
saturated in love. Trinity, right now I speak to these hearts and I prophesy to

103
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:09.240
these hearts and I say hearts, receive the love like never before and I speak

104
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:14.560
to everything that has restricted and inhibited their capacity to receive

105
00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:19.360
love and I just command those things to melt away in the presence of your love,

106
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.360
in the presence of your fiery, all-consuming love. I just command

107
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:28.280
everything that's restricted love, that's inhibited their capacity or in our

108
00:11:28.280 --> 00:11:31.800
capacity to receive love, I command everything that's restricted our

109
00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:39.520
capacity to love to just melt away now in your glory. Wow. And Papa, I thank you

110
00:11:39.520 --> 00:11:47.040
for a massive release, a tsunami, a tidal wave, a baptism, an overflow, a deluge, a

111
00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:51.040
breaking forth of the fountains of the deep, a pouring out from the floodgates

112
00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:59.520
of heaven. Wow. Of a baptism in your love that we would freshly be swallowed up in

113
00:11:59.520 --> 00:12:04.000
the wonder of your presence and the wonder of your love and the wonder of

114
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.280
your delight. Wow. That it would consume us afresh and that the fire of your love

115
00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:12.960
would get under our skin, the fire of your love would burn in our hearts. There

116
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:21.160
will be a blazing fiery impartation of love. Wow. Wow. Taking place right now. Wow.

117
00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:27.240
Wow. Let that love burn and blaze inside of us and let there be a spirit of

118
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:32.520
wisdom and revelation released in this time right now. Let there be a spirit of

119
00:12:32.520 --> 00:12:36.520
wisdom and revelation released over all those who hear these words right now

120
00:12:36.520 --> 00:12:40.800
that as they hear these words, a spirit of wisdom and revelation would explode

121
00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:45.160
over them, that hearts would open like never before, that hearts would soften,

122
00:12:45.160 --> 00:12:48.920
that eyes would open, that ears would open to hear everything that you want to

123
00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:53.600
say, Trinity. That everything you want to say would be heard loud and clear and

124
00:12:53.880 --> 00:12:58.040
that your word to us would hit us exactly where you want it to go, that

125
00:12:58.040 --> 00:13:03.040
your word would be powerful and fused with love and liberating freedom in

126
00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:15.040
Jesus' name. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. More, more, more, Papa. More, more, more, Papa. We want it

127
00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:21.320
every day, all day. More of you, more of you, more of you. Wow. We love you. We

128
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:37.040
honor you. We honor your presence. Wow. Let your fire fall afresh. Wow. Wow. Wow. Hey

129
00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:42.000
guys. I'm just having an encounter with His love right now. I just pray that

130
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.280
just flows right to you, right where you're at, that a supernatural baptism

131
00:13:46.280 --> 00:13:54.000
in His love would swallow you up. Oh man, I remember so many years lived in

132
00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:00.200
disconnection and isolation and separation. It was so hard to have, to

133
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:05.800
experience the presence of God. But right now, and just like that, now Sonship is

134
00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:13.400
an effortless union with the Trinity. Wow. An effortless participation in the

135
00:14:13.400 --> 00:14:18.640
bliss of their love, the bliss of their delight. And it's not distant. It's not

136
00:14:18.640 --> 00:14:23.560
far away. It's constant. It's ever-present. It's effortless. And so I

137
00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:29.120
want to encourage you in this journey that, whoa, Sandy's belly's on fire with

138
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:36.520
love. I just want to encourage you in this process that you're going on, that

139
00:14:36.520 --> 00:14:43.680
it is so worth going into those places of, like, those scary places of total

140
00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:48.880
surrender. It's so worth diving into those places of our secret sins. It's so

141
00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:54.800
worth going into those places of our ultimate shame, and the places of our

142
00:14:54.800 --> 00:15:01.920
greatest self-hatred and condemnation, and letting the love of the Trinity

143
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.400
break into that part of our being and expose all that darkness and flush it out with love and light.

144
00:15:08.400 --> 00:15:15.520
Because I tell you what happens as you step into total surrender, everything that was in us that

145
00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:20.960
actually was creating the disconnection and distance, everything that was within us creating

146
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.720
distance, it's gone. It gets swallowed up in His love and when there's nothing in us initiating

147
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:32.000
the separation, well there's nothing in the Trinity initiating separation either. So we become

148
00:15:32.640 --> 00:15:39.600
effortlessly one when all that junk that's like, it's like we're polar opposites when we've got

149
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.520
shame on the inside of us. It just drives us into isolation from the Trinity. But boom,

150
00:15:45.520 --> 00:15:51.680
when we deal with that and we step into surrender and we step into freedom, all of that inadequacy

151
00:15:51.680 --> 00:15:58.640
melts away. All of that shame and that condemnation melts away and our default setting changes from

152
00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:07.120
isolation to seamless union. Wow. And then you can just have encounter as a lifestyle. Encounter

153
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:12.800
as a moment by moment existence in the love and that's sonship. That's where we're going. That's

154
00:16:12.800 --> 00:16:19.040
where the beautiful journey leads us. It leads us into a perpetual love baptism. Wow.

155
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:27.360
So hey, welcome to the crew. We've had some new guys jump on. I see Patricia, I see Petra,

156
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.800
I see some other beautiful people. Lovely to have you guys with us. Hey, Sharon.

157
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:43.840
So we're going to explore this topic today. These are all some of my favourites. Wow.

158
00:16:44.560 --> 00:16:57.120
It's Jesus reveals the father. Jesus reveals the father. Now this is so huge. What a topic. It is

159
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:09.359
so, so huge. Wow. I think I want to start with a story. I think I just want to introduce you

160
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:17.520
guys to a friend of mine. Wow. Yeah. Monica, welcome. Good to see you from the UK. But I

161
00:17:17.520 --> 00:17:24.960
just want to, I'm going to start with a story of a friend of mine and it's his story. It starts in

162
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:30.240
tragedy. Like how many of our stories have started in tragedy? Give a thumbs up or like, yeah. Amen.

163
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:36.960
If you, if your story has started in tragedy, but it goes, her story goes strong. Tragedy ends in

164
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:42.800
triumph. But yeah, a lot of our stories have started in tragedy. Just like this photo behind

165
00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:48.960
me is a photo of Joanna, one of our students. That's a photo from when we were filming her

166
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:55.440
testimony. Her story starts in tragedy, but it ends in radical triumph. If you haven't seen the

167
00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:01.200
spoken word in the group, I put a post up right early on and that post is about Joanna here. So

168
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:07.200
check that out. It's powerful. That's her journey from the orphan illusion into the bliss of sonship.

169
00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:14.800
But this other friend of mine, the tragedy began when she was four years old and she was raped by

170
00:18:14.800 --> 00:18:24.800
her uncle. And as you can imagine that, that led to a huge, huge, huge sense of inadequacy.

171
00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:32.320
Um, you know, when we, it's like when we're, when we're born, we no one, we don't get like

172
00:18:32.320 --> 00:18:37.360
massive amounts of sonship training just because we're born, you know, when we're little, when we're

173
00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:43.440
kids, when we're babies and we just, we were toddlers. And even as we're growing up, we're

174
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:47.920
trying to process everything that's happening ourselves. We're trying to figure it out ourselves

175
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:53.520
and we're trying to come to what does this mean about me? And when we go through extreme abuse

176
00:18:53.520 --> 00:19:00.320
and extreme trauma, we kind of come to some conclusion about what that trauma means. And

177
00:19:00.320 --> 00:19:07.120
for my friend, she came to the conclusion, uh, that this trauma and this life experience

178
00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:13.200
defined her as inadequate. It defined her as unworthy. It defined her as completely

179
00:19:13.760 --> 00:19:21.200
unlovable. And on top of an experience like that, um, her own father said to her face,

180
00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:29.440
no one could ever love someone like you. Whoa. I mean, now that, um, that's intense. You know,

181
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:34.880
like imagine that your own father face to face with you saying no one could ever love someone

182
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:42.960
like you. Oh my gosh. Heartbreaking stuff. Uh, and that, that sense of inadequacy just built up,

183
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.480
you know, inside of it from the time she's a little girl, she's carrying this huge sense of

184
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:53.360
inadequacy. The shame grows, the condemnation grows, the self hatred goes, the isolation and

185
00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:59.840
disconnection grows, the sense of unworthiness and unlovable just grew for her. And, uh, then she.

186
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.160
You know as she grew older she had other traumatic experiences, kind of more abuse and she got

187
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:11.120
into a relationship and who can relate to this that when you're in a relationship and

188
00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:16.720
you've got no value for yourself, when you're in a relationship and you've got no value

189
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:22.600
for yourself you won't have, you won't really care how people treat you and so she got into

190
00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:28.680
this place where she was being really really badly treated, a really abusive relationship

191
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:34.920
and she was in there for a long time and then so she's just been living in this abusive

192
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:41.720
relationship for a long time, hating herself for years and years and so anyway she comes

193
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:48.160
to this place right, she comes to this place where she's just, she's just full of self

194
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:54.520
hatred, she's full of condemnation, yeah, why would you say that, it's just so, it's

195
00:20:54.520 --> 00:20:59.600
just exactly the opposite of what a kid wants to hear, a kid never wants, that's the worst

196
00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:03.120
thing, isn't that one of the worst things that a kid could ever hear, that their own

197
00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:09.560
father saying no one could ever love you, but it happens so many times and so she's

198
00:21:09.560 --> 00:21:17.280
in this dark place after years and years of self hatred and just fear, her world was wracked

199
00:21:17.280 --> 00:21:24.680
with fear and anxiety to the extreme and all of this stuff attached to the orphan illusion

200
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:31.060
and when she's in this place all just surrounded by darkness, she's in her bed one night and

201
00:21:31.060 --> 00:21:38.880
she hears this voice speaking to her through her darkness, it's like I described last night

202
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:43.320
about this prison we crept for ourselves, we've been so broken that we put up all these

203
00:21:43.320 --> 00:21:50.280
walls around ourselves to protect us from being abused and protect us from being broken

204
00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:54.280
and protect our trust from being broken and our hearts from being broken and what we don't

205
00:21:54.280 --> 00:22:01.920
realise is that all these walls of isolation, woah, all these walls of isolation become

206
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:06.680
a prison and they actually stop the love coming in and so she was like this little little

207
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:12.920
girl trapped in this prison, in this prison where she was living in a radical love deficit,

208
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:19.560
just a dark dark dungeon of a lifestyle, living in this dark dark place and that was

209
00:22:19.560 --> 00:22:25.880
her existence, that was her normal, but into the darkness this voice speaks, in the night

210
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:30.520
she's lying on her bed and she hears this voice speaking to her and this voice says

211
00:22:30.520 --> 00:22:39.380
I love you, I miss you, I love you, I miss you and she's like oh my gosh what is this

212
00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:44.540
voice, what is this voice, she has no idea what this voice is, she has no idea where

213
00:22:44.540 --> 00:22:49.700
this voice is coming from or who this voice is, but this voice begins to speak out to

214
00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:54.900
her, it begins to call to her in her darkness in the night and she gets wondering and she

215
00:22:54.900 --> 00:23:00.660
goes wow could this possibly be God, could this possibly be God, so right there in the

216
00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:05.580
height of her darkness, in the height of her isolation and condemnation and shame and self

217
00:23:05.580 --> 00:23:14.460
hatred and fear and stress, boom, it's like we spoke yesterday about the spirit of adoption,

218
00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:19.180
it's the Holy Spirit drawing us, calling us and the Holy Spirit's longing to bring us

219
00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:25.820
back to Eden, bring us back to the place of delight, you know where the Trinity conceived

220
00:23:25.820 --> 00:23:34.020
humanity, hey Lisa, the Trinity conceived humanity in delight, we were conceived in

221
00:23:34.020 --> 00:23:39.980
delight, before the foundation of the world, the Trinity saw you, they knew you, Jeremiah

222
00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:44.820
the Lord says before I formed you in the womb I knew you, that's the word Yadar, I had intimate

223
00:23:44.820 --> 00:23:50.140
experiential knowledge of you and so before the foundation of the world, the Trinity knew

224
00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:55.980
you, they loved you and they created you because they didn't have one of you and they wanted

225
00:23:55.980 --> 00:24:02.060
one of you and you were always the focus of their delight and you were always marked by

226
00:24:02.060 --> 00:24:08.620
love, it's how you were created, you were born marked by love and so the Trinity conceived

227
00:24:08.620 --> 00:24:12.180
us in delight before the foundation of the world and the Trinity conceived my friend

228
00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:19.460
in delight before the foundation of the world and destined us, planned in love for us to

229
00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:24.540
live in the context of delight and the context of Eden and the Holy Spirit reaches out to

230
00:24:24.540 --> 00:24:30.580
us in our darkness and us in our love deficits and our sense of inadequacy and our sense

231
00:24:30.580 --> 00:24:35.580
of shame and condemnation and self-hatred and isolation and fear and stress and worry

232
00:24:35.580 --> 00:24:40.020
and all the pressures, the Holy Spirit is reaching out to us there and calling us, calling

233
00:24:40.020 --> 00:24:47.340
us, calling us home, calling us back to Eden, calling us back to the bliss of sonship, calling

234
00:24:47.340 --> 00:24:54.660
us back to Eden, ah yes, Holy Spirit, so He begins calling my friend and slowly, slowly,

235
00:24:54.660 --> 00:25:02.340
she begins to emerge from her darkness and she begins to step, step, step, step, step,

236
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.000
Slowly, step by step, into the beautiful journey.

237
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:08.560
And one of the first times I remember speaking,

238
00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:11.200
I remember speaking to her about the love of the Father

239
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.040
and doing a session kind of similar to this

240
00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:16.520
where I was speaking about the love of the Father

241
00:25:16.520 --> 00:25:18.160
and speaking about orphan mindsets

242
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.400
and everything that was a part of the orphan mindset.

243
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:23.340
She's like, oh my gosh, that's me, that's me,

244
00:25:23.340 --> 00:25:25.080
that's me, that's me, that's me.

245
00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:27.560
And at the end of that session, boom,

246
00:25:27.560 --> 00:25:29.800
there was this outbreak over her life

247
00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:34.160
of a baptism of love, a massive encounter with love

248
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.240
like she hadn't ever experienced in her life.

249
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:38.320
And it was one of those encounters

250
00:25:38.320 --> 00:25:41.360
where the Holy Spirit hit her so powerfully with love

251
00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:43.480
that she's just plastered to the floor,

252
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.440
weeping and weeping and weeping for,

253
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:48.200
you know, sometimes you have those meetings

254
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:51.720
and the meeting's finished, you're kind of waiting around

255
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:53.240
and you're still waiting around

256
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:55.600
and someone's still kind of out under the presence

257
00:25:55.600 --> 00:25:58.040
and it just gets awkward, you're waiting so long.

258
00:25:58.040 --> 00:26:00.120
We'd just been waiting so long, it's kind of like,

259
00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:03.780
whoa, this is, this is like, how long is she gonna be down?

260
00:26:03.780 --> 00:26:05.280
But it was a long, long time,

261
00:26:05.280 --> 00:26:06.600
she's just under the presence.

262
00:26:06.600 --> 00:26:09.440
When we picked her up, this is kind of gross

263
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.640
but kind of funny, and if you've been in these types

264
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.440
of meetings where God just, boom, blasts someone,

265
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.280
hey, princess, good to see you.

266
00:26:17.280 --> 00:26:18.400
If you've been in these meetings

267
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.840
where God just blasts someone like that,

268
00:26:19.840 --> 00:26:21.940
you've probably seen it before yourself.

269
00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:24.440
But when we picked her up, there was so much,

270
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:27.400
just, she was just so totally undone by love,

271
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.180
the broken to her love deficit,

272
00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:30.760
broken to her orphan illusion,

273
00:26:30.760 --> 00:26:32.040
that when we picked her up off the floor,

274
00:26:32.040 --> 00:26:33.960
she'd been weeping and snotting

275
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:35.600
and it was like, kind of like,

276
00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:38.440
imagine if a cheese pizza had fallen face down,

277
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:39.800
you kind of pick it up and it's just kind of,

278
00:26:39.800 --> 00:26:42.760
whoa, there's a lot of droopy, snotty, like tears,

279
00:26:42.760 --> 00:26:45.600
whoa, she just kind of gets pulled out of,

280
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:48.320
and, but God did something when she was weeping,

281
00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:50.040
when everything was just coming out,

282
00:26:50.040 --> 00:26:53.880
whoa, God did something deep and powerful.

283
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:58.080
He began to convince her of how loved she truly is.

284
00:26:58.080 --> 00:27:02.240
He began to break down those lies that she was unlovable.

285
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.200
That was one of the biggest lies that she had,

286
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:06.200
that she was unlovable.

287
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:09.160
And you know, our hearts come up

288
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.720
with all sorts of conclusions.

289
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:13.700
You know, we go through our life experiences

290
00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:17.520
and our hearts, we're trying to process life by ourselves,

291
00:27:17.520 --> 00:27:20.160
we're trying to process and understand,

292
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:21.480
what does this mean, you know?

293
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:24.200
What do these life experiences mean?

294
00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:26.360
And so, I just want to ask you a question,

295
00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:28.080
for you in your journey,

296
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.320
when you, what has been the, like,

297
00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:35.800
the worst things that your heart has ever come up with

298
00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:38.320
as far as who God is, what is God like?

299
00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:40.360
You know, I know that for myself,

300
00:27:40.360 --> 00:27:42.920
in dark parts of my heart,

301
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.840
I sometimes, my heart has come up with these ideas,

302
00:27:46.840 --> 00:27:51.120
these notions that, wow, God, you've got to abandon me.

303
00:27:52.120 --> 00:27:52.960
What about you?

304
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.340
I'd just love to put up some of these,

305
00:27:55.340 --> 00:27:59.600
some of the worst images of God that you've ever dealt with,

306
00:27:59.600 --> 00:28:01.640
the worst pictures that you've had of God,

307
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:04.120
the worst beliefs that you've had of who God is,

308
00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:08.880
like, you've, you're like, okay,

309
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.420
I just think, yeah, like, so Jane's just saying

310
00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:15.760
she just felt like she's so alone.

311
00:28:15.760 --> 00:28:18.780
We have so many of these different feelings,

312
00:28:18.780 --> 00:28:20.680
like, okay, he's going to abandon us,

313
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.520
he's going to leave us.

314
00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:22.720
Yeah, I've felt like that.

315
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:27.560
Yeah, so Princess is saying that she thought

316
00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:30.760
he was angry with her and he wanted to punish her.

317
00:28:30.760 --> 00:28:32.560
Man, so many of us have felt that,

318
00:28:32.560 --> 00:28:34.120
thought that he was an angry God

319
00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:36.380
and he's just waiting to punish us.

320
00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:38.520
He wants to come at us with a big stick

321
00:28:38.520 --> 00:28:41.280
and punish us for all the things that we've done wrong.

322
00:28:42.320 --> 00:28:44.760
Oh, wow, and Sandy's just saying, like,

323
00:28:44.760 --> 00:28:46.920
she thought that he would be mean to her

324
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:50.240
like her dad was, oh my gosh.

325
00:28:50.840 --> 00:28:52.440
And my friend, she thought she was unlovable.

326
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.720
She thought that God could never love her

327
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:56.400
and guess where she got that notion,

328
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.520
that her own father said no one could ever love you.

329
00:28:59.520 --> 00:29:03.000
And so many of us transfer our experiences

330
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.640
of our own fathers onto our father in heaven,

331
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.280
not realizing that he's a perfect father.

332
00:29:08.280 --> 00:29:09.800
Oh, Kerry says he's a policeman,

333
00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:12.080
he's all about the rules, just, yeah,

334
00:29:12.080 --> 00:29:13.280
just all about the rules.

335
00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:15.600
Oh my gosh, Jane, heartbreaking.

336
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:20.480
Jane says that he couldn't even look at her.

337
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:23.720
Oh my gosh, that, wow.

338
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:25.440
I mean, this is heartbreaking stuff.

339
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.200
These are heartbreaking images

340
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:29.760
that we come to these conclusions

341
00:29:29.760 --> 00:29:32.000
about the nature of God, about who he is,

342
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:35.200
and oftentimes we don't even need anyone to tell us those.

343
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:37.920
Christine says distant, that he's far away.

344
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.400
That he's just leaving us out there,

345
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:41.680
that he doesn't want to connect.

346
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:45.440
Oh, wow, Tanya says that he will deliberately hurt her.

347
00:29:46.280 --> 00:29:47.680
Oh my gosh, isn't this,

348
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:50.560
aren't these such heartbreaking, tragic things?

349
00:29:50.560 --> 00:29:53.280
Imagine if God was like this, that he was distant,

350
00:29:53.280 --> 00:29:54.640
that he wanted to be mean to you,

351
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.880
that he wanted to deliberately hurt you,

352
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.880
that he could only accept you if you did what was right.

353
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.360
Oh, that he was ashamed of you, Rose is saying.

354
00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:04.280
Alicia, great post there too.

355
00:30:04.280 --> 00:30:06.080
That he would reject you.

356
00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:07.080
All of these things.

357
00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:08.080
It's so much.

358
00:30:08.080 --> 00:30:15.920
Oh, and Turahia said, thought he wanted to punish you and, in a way, for past mistakes.

359
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:20.720
Just wanting to punish, wanting to hurt and be mean.

360
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:24.460
Oh my gosh, and wants to abandon us.

361
00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:27.440
Can you guys, like, just...

362
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:28.440
This is crazy.

363
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:34.480
This is who we have come to the conclusions of, of the nature of our father, and so many

364
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:39.660
of us still carry these conclusions, even when we're in church.

365
00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:43.920
Oh my gosh, so Sharon thought that God was racist.

366
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:46.720
Sharon thought that God only loved white people.

367
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:47.720
Wow.

368
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:51.560
So God is, like, gnarly as...

369
00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:53.960
He's a pretty mean dude.

370
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:55.600
Can you...

371
00:30:55.600 --> 00:30:59.440
No wonder that we're struggling to connect with him.

372
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:04.500
No wonder that our default setting at the core of our being is actually isolation.

373
00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:09.840
No wonder that we actually initiate distance from him, because who would want to connect

374
00:31:09.840 --> 00:31:15.220
with an angry, racist God who's mean, who wants to deliberately hurt you, who wants

375
00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:20.720
to punish you, who's just policing you, who's like, okay, I'm only going to accept you if

376
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:22.800
you perform, if you follow all these rules.

377
00:31:22.800 --> 00:31:23.800
No...

378
00:31:23.800 --> 00:31:25.560
Oh my gosh, that's heartbreaking stuff.

379
00:31:25.560 --> 00:31:28.720
No one would want to be connected with a father like that.

380
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.640
No one would want to be connected to a God like that.

381
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:33.240
That is just crazy.

382
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.360
It's just, like, oh my gosh.

383
00:31:35.360 --> 00:31:39.560
And especially if you contrast that with how things formed.

384
00:31:39.560 --> 00:31:43.880
Kaatia says that he approves of the evil world and actually wants it to be that way.

385
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:44.880
Whoa.

386
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.440
That he, like, he loves all the chaos and the suffering, and he wants you to go through

387
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:54.400
all the suffering, and he wants you to live in all this brokenness, and he loves you in

388
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:55.400
pain, and he...

389
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:56.400
Oh my gosh.

390
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:02.200
So, can you just see how crazy that is in contrast with the Trinity?

391
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:08.920
When we looked at the message in the beginning, when we looked at the Trinity, the Trinity

392
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.320
is an unbroken cycle of divine love.

393
00:32:12.320 --> 00:32:19.680
They are just constantly receiving and expressing perfect delight, and perfect love, and the

394
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.360
bliss of love, and the ecstasy of love, and the delight of love.

395
00:32:24.360 --> 00:32:26.960
It's an unbroken cycle of divine love.

396
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:31.920
And out of that Eden, out of that paradise, out of that atmosphere of heaven, it's the

397
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:36.560
fellowship of the Trinity that creates the atmosphere of heaven, and out of that place

398
00:32:36.560 --> 00:32:41.680
you were formed, out of that place you were imagined, out of that place you were created,

399
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:46.560
and you were created in their image, and here's one of the reasons that we were created

400
00:32:46.560 --> 00:32:52.440
in their image, so that we could be mutuals, you know, that we could have mutual love,

401
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.880
so that we could be equals, so that we could equally receive love and equally express love.

402
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:03.400
We were created as equals, so that we could equally participate in the dance.

403
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:08.280
They always wanted us to share in this delight, and that has always been their intention,

404
00:33:08.280 --> 00:33:12.400
that is still their intention, that is what they have always longed for, is that you and

405
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:18.160
I would participate seamlessly, effortlessly, constantly, perpetually, every moment of every

406
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:24.840
day, wrapped up, smothered, baptized in love, and participating in the divine dance.

407
00:33:24.840 --> 00:33:28.920
This is what they've longed for since before the foundation of the world.

408
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.040
This is what we were created for.

409
00:33:31.040 --> 00:33:32.880
That's what they're longing for.

410
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.880
But you know what?

411
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:34.880
Even Adam and Eve.

412
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:36.280
It just happened right at the beginning.

413
00:33:36.280 --> 00:33:39.160
They had the exact same issue.

414
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:46.880
You know, Genesis 3.10, it says that, it says, I heard you walking in the garden, and I was

415
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:47.880
afraid.

416
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:49.400
Okay, so there's fear.

417
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:54.400
That's a massive, that right there is one of the foundations of the orphan mindset.

418
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.760
Actually, Genesis 3.10 has all the foundations of the orphan mindset.

419
00:33:58.760 --> 00:34:05.080
I heard you in the garden, and they're not drawn to the Trinity, they're drawn away from

420
00:34:05.080 --> 00:34:06.080
the Trinity.

421
00:34:06.080 --> 00:34:09.199
So you already see that they've got a false image of who the Father is.

422
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:15.320
And I was afraid, so fear, because I was naked, that's inadequacy, so I hid.

423
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:16.320
That is isolation.

424
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:24.800
So they've got fear, shame, rejection, inadequacy, condemnation, self-hatred, isolation.

425
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:29.920
It's all happening right there in Genesis.

426
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:31.679
And we're all struggling with the same thing.

427
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:36.320
So if you go deeper than the foundations of inadequacy, and if you go deeper than the

428
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:43.840
foundations of lack in the orphan mindset, you get to the absolute core, the root core

429
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:49.199
of humanity's issue, which is a false image of who God is.

430
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:50.199
That's it right there, guys.

431
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:57.240
If there's a, if there is a number one root to all of humanity's issues, this root here,

432
00:34:57.240 --> 00:34:58.520
it's deeper than inadequacy.

433
00:34:58.520 --> 00:34:59.520
It's deeper than lack.

434
00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:00.520
It's actually,

435
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.920
This is what produces inadequacy. This is what produces lack. This is what produces all of the

436
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:14.240
orphan illusion manifestations are founded on this one thing, a false image of who our Father

437
00:35:14.240 --> 00:35:21.120
in Heaven truly is. That's our number one issue. More than any other issue that we have, our number

438
00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:26.960
one issue is a false image of who our Father in Heaven truly is. A false image of who our Father

439
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:34.080
in Heaven truly is. That is the number one issue of humanity. That's it. And you know what? That

440
00:35:34.080 --> 00:35:41.760
number one issue of humanity, guess what? It actually started before the fall. Okay, so Adam

441
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:50.800
and Eve, this might be a big concept for you, but it's true. Adam and Eve walked as orphans before

442
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:56.640
the fall. Okay, they walked as spiritual orphans before the fall and that's why they fell.

443
00:35:57.200 --> 00:36:05.280
Genesis 3 and Matthew 4 are direct contrasts. So in Genesis 3 you have the temptation

444
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:11.280
of Adam and Eve and in Genesis 4 you have the temptation of Jesus. Now Jesus is the model for

445
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:16.720
what sonship looks like. So if we want an example of what sonship looks like, we just see

446
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:21.760
Jesus and Jesus demonstrates when the enemy comes to tempt him, boom, he beats him down completely.

447
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:26.640
Every time the enemy comes up with something Jesus says, it is written, it is written, it is written,

448
00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:32.160
it is written, it is written. He is rock solid and he demonstrates that when we walk in our sonship,

449
00:36:32.160 --> 00:36:37.520
we walk in victory over the enemy. We'll walk in victory over darkness every single time. There's

450
00:36:37.520 --> 00:36:42.880
not one time when we're walking in our sonship we will ever participate with darkness in any shape

451
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:49.360
or form. Jesus demonstrated that. He demonstrated normal life in sonship. He demonstrated what it

452
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:56.160
means to be a son. This is who we are. He didn't just come as an example for us. Jesus came as an

453
00:36:56.160 --> 00:37:05.200
example of us. He defines our identity. So just put it like, whoa, or like, oh my gosh, if that's

454
00:37:05.200 --> 00:37:10.320
the first time you've heard the concept that Adam and Eve walked as orphans before the fall. So let

455
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:21.040
me get into this. Anything less, yeah, totally. Genesis 3, orphan spirit. Matthew 4, sonship.

456
00:37:21.040 --> 00:37:31.200
Matthew 4 is the redemption of Genesis 3. So the core issue that humanity has is that

457
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.000
we have a false image of who the Father is. Now when Adam and Eve were created,

458
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:43.520
they weren't created with an inbuilt chip that knew exactly who God was. Whoa, yeah, Rosa. Hey,

459
00:37:43.520 --> 00:37:53.280
Needon. Good to have you from India. So yeah, they walked as spiritual orphans before the fall

460
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:56.960
because they weren't created to know everything. Adam and Eve didn't know everything when they

461
00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:02.320
were created. Now the crazy thing is that they didn't get the revelation that Eden was trying

462
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:07.040
to communicate. So think of this. Everything that the Trinity is doing is trying to communicate

463
00:38:07.040 --> 00:38:13.040
how loved Adam and Eve are. They create Eden. It's the whole land is called Eden. It's paradise. It's

464
00:38:13.040 --> 00:38:18.880
bliss. And Eden is simply an overflow of the fellowship of the Trinity. So Eden is paradise.

465
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:26.720
It's heaven. They're in heaven. Eden is an overflow of heaven. The Trinity created out of their

466
00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:32.240
intimacy, out of their union, out of their bliss, out of their delight. They created delight and

467
00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:37.200
they put Adam and Eve there. And the Father plants a garden. He supplies everything they need. Adam

468
00:38:37.200 --> 00:38:50.000
is given the wife of his dreams. He's given global dominion. He lacks nothing. So he's got

469
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.160
all the resources that he wants. He's got the woman of his dreams and he's got global dominion.

470
00:38:54.160 --> 00:38:58.720
Isn't that like what humanity's always like going after, trying to get back? Well they're always

471
00:38:58.720 --> 00:39:06.000
hustling for this, hustling for sex, hustling for power, hustling for money. Well Adam, he had it

472
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:12.480
all. The Father just gave it to him right at the start. The Father just effortlessly gave it to

473
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:17.600
humanity at the start. It's like boom! There's everything you could ever want and desire and it

474
00:39:17.600 --> 00:39:23.520
wasn't enough. The issue that they had is even in the midst of that, Adam and Eve didn't catch the

475
00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:29.920
heart of the Father, didn't catch the heart of the Trinity. And so this issue that we have of a

476
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:36.080
false image of who the Father is, it began right at the beginning. And it's always been humanity's

477
00:39:36.080 --> 00:39:40.960
number one issue. It's still our number one issue now. It's your number one issue. It's my number

478
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:52.560
one issue that we have a false understanding, a false image of who the Father is. So guess what?

479
00:39:52.560 --> 00:39:59.920
When Jesus came, what a surprise. It shouldn't surprise us that when Jesus came, his number one

480
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.720
mission was to solve our number one issue. Religion is fascinated with this

481
00:40:05.720 --> 00:40:10.160
concept of dealing with the fruits of our issue rather than dealing with the

482
00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:16.280
roots of our issue. Thanks for the post there Christina. I got a surprise too

483
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:20.120
when I made that discovery but it was like oh my gosh there it is right there.

484
00:40:20.120 --> 00:40:28.600
So Jesus when he came he came to deal with our root issue. He came to cut out

485
00:40:28.600 --> 00:40:33.440
the root issue of sin. He came to cut out the root issue of our identity crisis.

486
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:36.880
He came to cut out all the root issues that humanity had been plagued from and

487
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:41.440
suffered from from the beginning so that humanity could get back in the divine

488
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:47.360
dance. Now religion's fascinated with not dealing with the root issue but making a

489
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:52.120
big deal out of the fruit. Actually you can kind of you can make an industry out

490
00:40:52.120 --> 00:40:55.680
of dealing with the fruit because there's always going to be some sin to

491
00:40:55.680 --> 00:40:59.000
deal with. If you never deal with the root cause then you're always going to

492
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.600
have plenty of sin in the church to keep on keep on dealing with and keep on

493
00:41:02.600 --> 00:41:08.080
tidying up. You're going to have plenty of work to do. Let me just read out some

494
00:41:08.080 --> 00:41:13.040
scriptures that talk about this because Jesus number one focus. Thanks for that

495
00:41:13.040 --> 00:41:21.640
post Rosa. Yeah good word there. Good word. Let's sort of check out some of these

496
00:41:21.640 --> 00:41:25.040
scriptures. Now I'm going to post this for you up after the session as well.

497
00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:28.200
You'll get this handout. It'll get posted up in the group and it's really

498
00:41:28.200 --> 00:41:32.120
really juicy. I'll only read out. I'll just read out some of these but there's

499
00:41:32.120 --> 00:41:37.400
heaps more. You'll love it. So just check out the check out the PDF that I

500
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:45.440
upload afterwards. John 14 6 to 7. John 14 6 to 10. This is Jesus speaking.

501
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:51.280
Jesus answered I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father

502
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:55.560
except through me. Now people usually think that's a geographical coming close

503
00:41:55.560 --> 00:41:59.760
to Jesus geographically. It's not about geographically coming to the Father. It's

504
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:02.840
about coming to a revelation of the nature and the character and who the

505
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:07.640
Father truly is. Jesus is saying these things. I am the exclusive revelation of

506
00:42:07.640 --> 00:42:12.080
God. I'm the exclusive revelation of the Father. You can't go anywhere else in the

507
00:42:12.080 --> 00:42:16.240
world to see the Father. I am it. If you want to see the Father you check out me

508
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:21.560
and you'll discover the nature of the Father. If you really know me you will

509
00:42:21.560 --> 00:42:27.560
know my Father as well. From now on you do know him and have seen him. Philip

510
00:42:27.560 --> 00:42:32.280
said Lord show us the Father and that will be enough for us. Jesus answered

511
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:37.760
don't you know me Philip? Even after I've been among you such a long time. Check

512
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:48.040
this out. This is rocking hot goodness. Jesus says anyone who has seen me has

513
00:42:48.040 --> 00:42:55.480
seen the Father. Wow anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say

514
00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:01.120
show us the Father? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that the

515
00:43:01.120 --> 00:43:06.760
Father is in me. So just say that the Father is in me. Say the Father is in me

516
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:11.200
because the Father is in you. But Jesus said I am in the Father and the Father

517
00:43:11.200 --> 00:43:18.760
is in me. The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority rather it is

518
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:25.040
the Father living in me who is doing his work. It's like what Jesus is trying to

519
00:43:25.040 --> 00:43:29.840
communicate there. He's like okay look I am like a glove and the Father is the

520
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:35.320
hand inside the glove and whatever you see the glove doing it's only doing that

521
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:41.200
because the hand is moving the glove. So Jesus is the glove and the Father is

522
00:43:41.200 --> 00:43:46.080
the hand. So everything that you see about Jesus every miracle that he does

523
00:43:46.080 --> 00:43:51.720
boom expresses the nature of the Father. Every time Jesus loves someone

524
00:43:51.720 --> 00:43:57.760
compassionately you see it's the Father loving them through Jesus. When Jesus

525
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:01.920
gets brought the woman caught in adultery and Jesus has compassion on her

526
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:06.880
it's the Father having compassion on her. When Jesus embraces the little

527
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:16.440
children it's the Father embracing the children. So there Jesus is like the

528
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:20.200
glove and the Father is the hand inside the glove. So whenever you see Jesus

529
00:44:20.200 --> 00:44:25.480
everything that you see about Jesus his whole ministry including on the cross

530
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:31.480
and especially on the cross Jesus is the glove and the Father is the hand inside

531
00:44:31.520 --> 00:44:37.360
the glove. Okay let's check that out a little bit more. John 5 19. So Jesus said

532
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:41.680
to them truly truly I say to you the Son can do nothing of his own accord but

533
00:44:41.680 --> 00:44:48.880
only what he sees his Father doing. Come on. For whatever the Father does the Son

534
00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:54.000
does likewise. Jesus is the glove and the Father is the hand inside the glove.

535
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:58.920
John 1 1. In the beginning the word already existed the word was with God

536
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.920
and the word was

537
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.040
God. John 6.38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him

538
00:45:07.040 --> 00:45:17.080
who sent me. John 10.30 I and the Father are one. John 14.31 But he comes so that the world

539
00:45:17.080 --> 00:45:26.560
may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. John 16.32

540
00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:34.840
Then suddenly you will all scramble and run for your lives and abandon me, but I am never

541
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:41.000
forsaken because my Father is always with me. Now that is wild. Jesus is prophesying.

542
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:46.120
He's about to go to the cross. So many people say the Father abandoned Jesus on the cross.

543
00:45:46.120 --> 00:45:50.920
Now that's what a bad daddy would do. A bad daddy would ditch the Son at the cross. But

544
00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:54.920
that's not what happened at the cross. And so we're going to explore that in the session

545
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:59.480
on separation as an illusion, which is coming up next week. We're going to go deeper into that.

546
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:06.480
But Jesus prophesies about what's about to happen at the cross. He says, John 16.32 Then suddenly

547
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:14.040
you will all scramble and run for your lives and abandon me, but I am never forsaken because my

548
00:46:14.040 --> 00:46:24.920
Father is always with me. Oh, come on. Hebrews 1.3 It says, The Son is the radiance of God's

549
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:36.360
glory and the exact representation of His being. Come on. Luke 10.22 My Father has entrusted

550
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:44.280
everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the

551
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:52.280
Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. And then 2 Corinthians 5.19

552
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:57.240
We'll make this the last one. For God was in Christ. So Jesus is the glove. The Father is the

553
00:46:57.240 --> 00:47:01.080
hand inside the glove all the way through Jesus' ministry, right from the beginning, right to the

554
00:47:01.080 --> 00:47:05.560
end, all the way through everything that you see about Jesus reveals the Father always. Right from

555
00:47:05.560 --> 00:47:11.480
the beginning, right to the end. It never stops happening. 2 Corinthians 5.19 For God was in

556
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:18.360
Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself,

557
00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:25.000
not counting people's sins against them. And He gave us this message of reconciliation. Actually,

558
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:33.320
I will give you one more, which is John 17.26 Jesus said, I have revealed the Father to you.

559
00:47:34.120 --> 00:47:40.040
Check this out. You're going to love this. I have revealed the Father to you, and I will continue to

560
00:47:40.040 --> 00:47:48.040
reveal Him to you in order that the love that He has for me may be in you and may be felt in your

561
00:47:48.040 --> 00:47:52.840
hearts. Boom! Right there. Right there. That's the heart of the gospel. Right there. That's the

562
00:47:52.840 --> 00:48:00.680
epicenter of the gospel. Right there. That is the epicenter of the gospel. Jesus said, John 17.26 I

563
00:48:00.680 --> 00:48:08.360
have revealed the Father to you, and I will continue to reveal Him to you so that the love

564
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:15.640
that He has for me may be in you and may be felt in your hearts. Oh my gosh! This is the whole

565
00:48:15.640 --> 00:48:22.040
point of Jesus' ministry. Somehow the church missed this, but Jesus was over the top about

566
00:48:22.040 --> 00:48:30.280
the Father. The topic of Father was Jesus' number one topic. He spoke about the topic of Father 213

567
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:39.000
times. 213 times Jesus spoke about the topic of Father. His number one mission was always to

568
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:44.520
sort out the number one issue that humanity had always had. Before the fall, we misperceived who

569
00:48:44.520 --> 00:48:50.840
the Father was, and we carried those false images, those negative images, those lies about the Father.

570
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:56.280
We've carried them in our hearts to this day, and the purpose of Jesus' ministry is to come to us

571
00:48:56.280 --> 00:49:03.160
in our orphan-mindedness, in our lostness, in these false images of who God is, and

572
00:49:03.160 --> 00:49:09.080
come to us in that place and bring an accurate revelation of who the Father is to us. And here's

573
00:49:09.080 --> 00:49:17.000
the reason why. Because in our orphan-mindedness, we're so full of self-hatred and condemnation and

574
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:23.880
shame and fear and stress and worry and anxiety and inadequacy and lack that we're actually

575
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:29.160
terrified. We're living in terrified lives. We're living in these prisons that I talked about.

576
00:49:29.160 --> 00:49:34.040
We've put up all these walls all around our lives to try and keep ourselves from being hurt again,

577
00:49:34.040 --> 00:49:39.160
but it's become a port-a-prison. So everywhere we go, we carry this prison with us, and it's

578
00:49:39.160 --> 00:49:43.720
generic for all of humanity. All of humanity is doing this, carrying these walls, carrying these

579
00:49:43.720 --> 00:49:50.280
prisons, living bound up by all these prisons, living in a love deficit. That's what the orphan

580
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:57.000
illusion is all about. It's about a love deficit, whereas sonship is a love baptism, a love overflow.

581
00:49:57.000 --> 00:49:59.800
And so Jesus is coming to deal with the root cause.

582
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.520
of our separation and isolation and condemnation and shame by revealing the Father to us.

583
00:50:05.520 --> 00:50:10.020
The mission that Jesus has is He's got to get humanity out of our prison.

584
00:50:10.020 --> 00:50:17.000
He's got to get humanity free from this place of isolation that we have come to and we are

585
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:18.560
terrified of God.

586
00:50:18.560 --> 00:50:19.560
Whoa!

587
00:50:19.560 --> 00:50:20.560
How crazy is that?

588
00:50:20.560 --> 00:50:25.160
Even though we're in this prison, we're in this prison and we're terrified of God.

589
00:50:25.160 --> 00:50:26.760
We've got these negative images of God.

590
00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:28.040
He's going to be mean to me.

591
00:50:28.040 --> 00:50:29.040
He's going to be cruel.

592
00:50:29.080 --> 00:50:30.080
He's going to be a racist.

593
00:50:30.080 --> 00:50:31.680
He only loves some people.

594
00:50:31.680 --> 00:50:33.680
He doesn't love me because I haven't done enough.

595
00:50:33.680 --> 00:50:34.680
I'm not enough.

596
00:50:34.680 --> 00:50:40.720
All of this junk that we've got and somehow the mission of Jesus is to reach us in our

597
00:50:40.720 --> 00:50:46.720
isolation and false images of God and draw us out from that and bring us back into the

598
00:50:46.720 --> 00:50:48.160
fellowship of the Trinity.

599
00:50:48.160 --> 00:50:50.440
Jesus is trying.

600
00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:56.280
His mission in your life is to bring you out from where you are into this seamless union

601
00:50:56.280 --> 00:51:00.040
with the Trinity so you can participate in the divine life.

602
00:51:00.040 --> 00:51:05.560
You can participate in the divine dance by living in this unbroken cycle of divine love

603
00:51:05.560 --> 00:51:08.160
and delight and bliss and ecstasy.

604
00:51:08.160 --> 00:51:09.840
That's always been the plan.

605
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:11.400
That's always been the agenda.

606
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:15.120
That's always been the mission since before the foundation of the world, they wanted you

607
00:51:15.120 --> 00:51:19.200
to be included in the dance and so Jesus is now coming back.

608
00:51:19.200 --> 00:51:24.800
His mission is to get all of humanity like, righto guys, let's dance again.

609
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:30.800
But he knows that there's no way we will come into that place of total surrender that we

610
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:37.200
need to come into, that place of total purification that we need to come into to step into the

611
00:51:37.200 --> 00:51:41.800
dance if we have these false images of our Father.

612
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:47.800
So Jesus makes his whole mission, his whole mission is about revealing to us an accurate

613
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:53.320
image of who our Father is so that we will not be afraid of Him.

614
00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:57.960
So that we'll actually come to this revelation that our Father in heaven is safe.

615
00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:02.040
So that we'll come to this revelation that we can actually trust our Father in heaven.

616
00:52:02.040 --> 00:52:06.320
So that we'll come to this revelation that our Father in heaven is a good, good daddy.

617
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:09.840
That he's a papa who loves us with an everlasting love.

618
00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:14.080
That's Jesus' mission, he's going to bring us to this place where we discover the revelation

619
00:52:14.080 --> 00:52:15.600
of who our Father is.

620
00:52:15.600 --> 00:52:22.640
John 17, 26, let me remind you of that, it says, I have revealed the Father to you and

621
00:52:22.640 --> 00:52:30.280
I will continue to reveal the Father to you so that the love that he has for me may be

622
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:34.520
in you and may be felt in your hearts.

623
00:52:34.520 --> 00:52:35.520
Wow!

624
00:52:35.520 --> 00:52:40.120
He's already, like all the verses before that in John, they all talk about the divine

625
00:52:40.120 --> 00:52:46.080
dance, they all talk about inclusion, they all talk about being exclusively defined by

626
00:52:46.080 --> 00:52:51.600
the Trinity, they all talk about being swatted up in the love of the Trinity, they all talk

627
00:52:51.600 --> 00:52:53.960
about just participating in this divine dance.

628
00:52:53.960 --> 00:53:00.560
So then the culmination is that he says, I have revealed the Father to you and I will

629
00:53:00.560 --> 00:53:02.520
continue to reveal him to you.

630
00:53:02.520 --> 00:53:06.840
So he's speaking now, he's about to go to the cross, Jesus is about to go to the cross

631
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:10.120
and he says, and I will continue to reveal him to you.

632
00:53:10.120 --> 00:53:12.800
He's speaking about the cross, he's saying I'm going to reveal the Father to you even

633
00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:13.800
on the cross.

634
00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.240
I'm going to reveal the Father to you even on the cross.

635
00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:20.800
Hey Ernest, my man, good to see you brother, great to have you.

636
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:25.080
So Jesus is saying, I have revealed the Father to you in everything that I've done and I'm

637
00:53:25.080 --> 00:53:29.400
about to take it to a whole new level on the cross, I'm going to reveal him to a whole

638
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:34.280
new level, so that we know who he is, so we can see his nature and his character, so we

639
00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:39.680
can see his kindness and his gentleness and his love and his compassion and his unconditional

640
00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:44.480
acceptance and come to this place where it's like, oh my gosh, we're loved, we can trust

641
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:50.480
him, we can surrender totally, we can step out of all lack and all inadequacy and come

642
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:55.400
to this place of total surrender and embrace absolute perfect purification.

643
00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:58.840
Well, thanks for all the comments guys, I love the comments, they're real encouraging

644
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:04.600
when I'm sitting here in my office talking to this camera, so cheers to all the good

645
00:54:04.600 --> 00:54:08.400
comments and welcome Lionel as well.

646
00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:16.560
So when he goes to the cross, this is like, this is the wild thing, the cross is the greatest

647
00:54:16.560 --> 00:54:19.560
revelation of the Father.

648
00:54:19.640 --> 00:54:25.840
Now Jesus says something radical, let me drop a bombshell on you here, in Matthew 24, 14,

649
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:33.560
I'll read it to you straight from the Bible, Matthew 24, 14 Jesus says, and this gospel

650
00:54:33.560 --> 00:54:41.160
of the kingdom will be preached to the whole world as a testimony to all nations.

651
00:54:41.160 --> 00:54:45.920
So alright, we'll catch you Sandy, we'll catch you soon.

652
00:54:46.080 --> 00:54:51.680
Jesus is, here he says in Matthew 24, 14 he says, and this gospel of the kingdom will

653
00:54:51.680 --> 00:54:57.560
be preached in the whole world or to all nations, which is awesome.

654
00:54:57.560 --> 00:55:00.040
So that gospel right, this is the gospel of the kingdom.

655
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.480
This is the gospel that Jesus has been preaching.

656
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:06.480
The whole ministry Jesus has had, he's been preaching this gospel, and he's been training

657
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:10.720
his disciples to preach this gospel, and he's prophesying that the same gospel that they've

658
00:55:10.720 --> 00:55:14.560
preached, that he's taught the disciples to preach, is the same gospel that will be preached

659
00:55:14.560 --> 00:55:16.360
to all the nations.

660
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:20.880
So one thing that we can understand of what Jesus is saying from that, now bear with me

661
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:24.800
because this is a massive point, one thing we can understand from what Jesus is saying

662
00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:29.100
there is that he has already fully preached the gospel.

663
00:55:29.100 --> 00:55:31.180
Jesus fully preached the gospel.

664
00:55:31.180 --> 00:55:36.340
Jesus is the founder of the gospel.

665
00:55:36.340 --> 00:55:38.140
He is the pioneer of the gospel.

666
00:55:38.140 --> 00:55:43.540
He established the gospel, and he said that the same gospel that he preached is the same

667
00:55:43.540 --> 00:55:45.980
gospel that will be preached to all the nations.

668
00:55:45.980 --> 00:55:48.420
Now here's the radical dynamic to that.

669
00:55:48.420 --> 00:55:55.100
It means then, it means that this gospel that Jesus preached before the cross is going to

670
00:55:55.100 --> 00:55:57.460
be the same gospel that's preached after the cross.

671
00:55:57.460 --> 00:56:03.420
So he's saying the cross is not going to add new information to the gospel.

672
00:56:03.420 --> 00:56:05.460
Whoa, that should hit you like a bombshell.

673
00:56:05.460 --> 00:56:07.580
That rocked my world when I discovered that.

674
00:56:07.580 --> 00:56:16.020
The cross was never supposed to add new information to the gospel of the kingdom that Jesus had

675
00:56:16.020 --> 00:56:20.420
already preached, that he trained his disciples to preach, and that he prophesied would be

676
00:56:20.420 --> 00:56:23.980
preached to all the nations.

677
00:56:23.980 --> 00:56:26.900
So oh my gosh, that's right.

678
00:56:26.900 --> 00:56:34.660
The cross is not supposed to add new information to the gospel.

679
00:56:34.660 --> 00:56:38.940
But what the cross is supposed to do, what we're supposed to see at the cross is the

680
00:56:38.940 --> 00:56:46.260
most spectacular, most phenomenal, most extravagant, most outrageous revelation of the nature and

681
00:56:46.260 --> 00:56:51.420
the character of the Trinity, of the nature and the character of the Father that the world

682
00:56:51.420 --> 00:56:53.060
has ever seen.

683
00:56:53.060 --> 00:56:56.420
There is no greater revelation of the nature of the Father.

684
00:56:56.420 --> 00:57:01.620
No greater revelation of the nature and the love of God other than the cross.

685
00:57:01.620 --> 00:57:08.020
So here's how that works.

686
00:57:08.020 --> 00:57:10.780
Jesus goes to the cross, right?

687
00:57:10.780 --> 00:57:15.620
One John 3.16 says, this is how we know what love looks like.

688
00:57:15.620 --> 00:57:20.740
Christ laid down his life for us that we might lay down our life for our brothers.

689
00:57:20.740 --> 00:57:25.940
So Jesus is demonstrating for us what love looks like on the cross.

690
00:57:25.940 --> 00:57:29.220
He's demonstrating for us what the nature of the Father is.

691
00:57:29.220 --> 00:57:30.540
So he goes through everything.

692
00:57:30.540 --> 00:57:32.140
He's being mocked, right?

693
00:57:32.140 --> 00:57:36.380
Now just ask yourself this, and maybe you can put it, maybe you can shout out, at what

694
00:57:36.380 --> 00:57:41.860
point, just shout out, give a thumbs up or a heads up or a tap out, just say maybe tap

695
00:57:41.860 --> 00:57:47.100
out or something like that, when you think you would stop loving people.

696
00:57:47.100 --> 00:57:51.900
Would you stop loving people when they came at you and accused you with a mob?

697
00:57:51.900 --> 00:57:53.860
They come at you with weapons and they accuse you with a mob.

698
00:57:53.860 --> 00:57:57.100
Is that the point where you're going to stop loving them and start judging them?

699
00:57:57.100 --> 00:57:59.460
Or would your love last a little bit longer?

700
00:57:59.460 --> 00:58:05.380
Would your love last when they imprison you and they beat you and they spit on you and

701
00:58:05.380 --> 00:58:06.380
they mock you?

702
00:58:06.380 --> 00:58:08.620
Or would your love tap out before that?

703
00:58:08.620 --> 00:58:12.260
Hey, Layton, welcome, good to have you.

704
00:58:12.260 --> 00:58:13.380
How would your love last?

705
00:58:13.380 --> 00:58:14.380
Would your love go on?

706
00:58:14.380 --> 00:58:17.660
Jesus is demonstrating that the Father's love is unconditional.

707
00:58:17.660 --> 00:58:22.660
It will never relent, it will never withdraw, it will never flinch, it will never draw back.

708
00:58:22.660 --> 00:58:28.180
He will always love us with an unconditional, everlasting, radical, intense love that will

709
00:58:28.180 --> 00:58:32.500
never stop, never withdraw, never diminish in any way whatsoever.

710
00:58:32.500 --> 00:58:33.500
Would your love stop?

711
00:58:33.500 --> 00:58:37.660
Would your love withdraw once they nailed the first hand to the cross?

712
00:58:37.660 --> 00:58:38.660
What about the second hand?

713
00:58:38.660 --> 00:58:43.760
I know that I would be struggling pretty hard to be expressing love and not coming into

714
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:49.100
accusation and condemnation and judging these people with offense and bitterness and hatred

715
00:58:49.100 --> 00:58:51.660
if they nailed both my hands to a cross.

716
00:58:52.660 --> 00:58:56.660
And maybe, yeah, hi, Layton, just awesome to have you here, too.

717
00:58:56.660 --> 00:59:01.160
Or maybe what about by the time they nailed your feet to the cross, or maybe after they

718
00:59:01.160 --> 00:59:03.660
flogged you or put a crown of thorns on your head.

719
00:59:03.660 --> 00:59:07.660
You know how they put that sponge up to his face?

720
00:59:07.660 --> 00:59:12.260
Well, that sponge that they put up to his face, what actually used to happen is the

721
00:59:12.260 --> 00:59:17.660
Romans were really quite hygienic people, but they didn't have public toilets, so what

722
00:59:18.660 --> 00:59:22.660
the beggars figured out is that they figured out that the Romans would actually pay them

723
00:59:22.660 --> 00:59:26.660
to wipe their butts, which is kind of gross, but it was good money for the beggars.

724
00:59:26.660 --> 00:59:32.660
So what they did is they would have a sponge tied to a stick, and they would soak that

725
00:59:32.660 --> 00:59:35.660
stick in wine vinegar in between bum washings.

726
00:59:35.660 --> 00:59:40.660
So when they weren't washing someone's bum with this sponge tied to a stick, it would

727
00:59:40.660 --> 00:59:44.660
be stuck in wine vinegar, and then someone would come, flick them a little coin or something,

728
00:59:44.660 --> 00:59:50.660
and they'd get the sponge out, give them a good scrub, and they'd be clean as a whistle

729
00:59:50.660 --> 00:59:51.660
and good to go.

730
00:59:51.660 --> 00:59:56.660
Now that is what they brought to Jesus while he's nailed up on the cross, a sponge on a

731
00:59:56.660 --> 00:59:59.660
stick that had been soaked in wine vinegar, and then bum washed.

732
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.880
Boom! They shove it in his face. At what point would you withdraw love?

733
01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:10.000
At what point would I withdraw love? I don't know, but that is some gnarly stuff that he went through.

734
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:15.040
He's stripped naked. I mean, I would be pretty hacked off if people started stripping my clothes off

735
01:00:15.040 --> 01:00:21.040
and parading me through the public arena, but he's stripped up. He's stripped naked,

736
01:00:21.040 --> 01:00:26.480
and one of the things that happens when you are crucified is there's an involuntary purging

737
01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:32.640
of your bowels, so that means that Jesus has urinated, he has defecated, and he's had this

738
01:00:32.640 --> 01:00:39.840
poo sponge rubbed in his face. What would you do? You know, what would you do in that space?

739
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:46.160
This is the ultimate humiliation. This is the ultimate offense. If there is something offensive

740
01:00:46.160 --> 01:00:55.440
you could do, the greatest, most terrifying, just disgusting level of torture and humiliation,

741
01:00:55.440 --> 01:01:00.800
will you withdraw love? Well, Jesus demonstrates the nature of the Father, that it doesn't matter

742
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:04.400
what we have done to him. It doesn't matter how much we've put him through. It doesn't matter how

743
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:09.760
far we are. It doesn't matter how, you know, how heinous our sin is, how gross our sin is,

744
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:15.200
how bad we think it is. He is never going to relent in his love. His love is stuck on full

745
01:01:15.200 --> 01:01:19.840
volume for you. It has never been turned down. It has never diminished. It has never withdrawn.

746
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:27.200
It has always been on maximum intensity, maximum volume. It's like the love of the Father for you

747
01:01:27.200 --> 01:01:33.280
is like a volume switch turned up to full, and it's just stuck on full. You can't turn that love

748
01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:38.400
down. You can't turn that delight down, and that is what Jesus is revealing on the cross, and we're

749
01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:43.280
going to see that the cross is the ultimate revelation of love. It's the ultimate revelation

750
01:01:43.280 --> 01:01:48.960
of the Father. It's like he's saying, there is nothing I wouldn't do. There is no price I wouldn't

751
01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:57.120
pay to set you free and to have you back in the divine dance. Now, we're going to explore this

752
01:01:57.120 --> 01:02:03.520
more too, but what we've got to see is that, yes, the cross is a price. Jesus is paying a radical,

753
01:02:03.520 --> 01:02:09.280
radical price on the cross. We're going to explore this concept further as we go on. He's not paying

754
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:14.640
a price for your forgiveness. Jesus already demonstrated that forgiveness is free and

755
01:02:14.640 --> 01:02:21.040
effortless. Jesus already revealed the Father's perspective on forgiveness. Anytime someone was

756
01:02:21.040 --> 01:02:25.920
brought to him that needed forgiveness, Jesus just effortlessly forgave them, and what was he doing?

757
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:31.040
He was revealing the nature of the Father, and everything that Jesus did, he revealed the nature

758
01:02:31.040 --> 01:02:38.560
of the Father. So, when he's forgiving people before the cross, he's demonstrating that

759
01:02:39.120 --> 01:02:44.880
sin is effortlessly forgiven. Forgiveness has no charge. Forgiveness is free. There's no price tag

760
01:02:45.600 --> 01:02:52.960
on forgiveness, but there is a price tag for freedom. There is a price tag for freedom.

761
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:58.560
Freedom costs Jesus everything, and here's why freedom costs Jesus everything. Freedom comes from

762
01:02:58.560 --> 01:03:04.640
the truth. Freedom comes from a revelation of the truth. That's where freedom comes from. That's

763
01:03:04.640 --> 01:03:11.520
where we get free. Jesus said it in John 8.32, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you

764
01:03:11.520 --> 01:03:18.080
free. So, when it comes to Jesus, Jesus said that the currency of spiritual power, the currency that

765
01:03:18.080 --> 01:03:24.000
produces freedom in people's lives, is truth. It's revelation. That's the only thing that produces

766
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:29.120
freedom. It's truth. It's not just truth, but it's knowing the truth. It's when we know the truth,

767
01:03:29.120 --> 01:03:34.080
boom, we instantly get set free. If we don't know the truth, we won't get set free, and it's not just

768
01:03:34.080 --> 01:03:38.720
a head knowledge. It's the Greek word gnosko, which is a counterpart to the Hebrew word yadah.

769
01:03:38.720 --> 01:03:43.680
It means intimate experiential knowledge of the truth. When you know it, like you know that you

770
01:03:43.680 --> 01:03:47.680
know that you know it. It's got your head. It's got your heart. It's got your soul. Every part of you

771
01:03:47.680 --> 01:03:54.560
knows the truth. You will be free, and Jesus sets the currency of freedom. The currency for spiritual

772
01:03:54.560 --> 01:04:00.400
freedom is revelation. The currency for spiritual freedom is truth, and so Jesus wants to set you

773
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:04.960
free on the cross. The blood sets you free because it carries a revelation of the truth.

774
01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:09.280
The cross sets you free because it carries a revelation of the truth, but what's the primary

775
01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:14.560
truth that Jesus is trying to reveal on the cross? He's trying to reveal who the Father is, because

776
01:04:14.560 --> 01:04:22.880
our number one issue, the root cause of humanity's pain and strife and chaos, is we have not known

777
01:04:22.880 --> 01:04:28.080
the nature, the character of who our Father in heaven truly is. So he demonstrates this is the

778
01:04:28.080 --> 01:04:33.360
nature of the Father. He is love. He's perfect love. There's nothing that you could do that would

779
01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:39.840
ever stop his love, withdraw his love, restrict his love. He will do whatever it takes to demonstrate

780
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:45.120
love, and in seeing a revelation of the Father, here's the other massive dynamic which we're also

781
01:04:45.120 --> 01:04:51.680
going to explore. When we see who the Father is, we discover our true identity. We discover who

782
01:04:51.680 --> 01:04:57.600
we are. We're exclusively defined in his image. Now, the truth of who the Father is,

783
01:04:57.600 --> 01:04:59.840
knowing who the Father is, that's going to...

784
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.680
allow us to feel safe, to surrender, to trust Him. And when we trust Him, all the

785
01:05:03.680 --> 01:05:07.680
walls come down. And those walls are the walls that are restricting us from

786
01:05:07.680 --> 01:05:12.720
living in love baptism. So when we trust Him, boom, the walls come down. Jesus'

787
01:05:12.720 --> 01:05:17.440
words in John 17 26 get fulfilled, that the love that He has for me may be felt,

788
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:22.080
may be in you and felt in your heart. So boom, as we see the Father, that He's good,

789
01:05:22.080 --> 01:05:26.640
that He's kind, that there's nothing He wouldn't do, that He was, Jesus perfectly

790
01:05:26.640 --> 01:05:31.000
revealed the Father. When we see that, boom, our walls start coming down. It's like,

791
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:35.680
oh, He's good, He's kind, He's gentle, He's compassionate. He comes running after us.

792
01:05:35.680 --> 01:05:42.320
He's not angry about us. He's not mad at us. He's mad about us. And so when we see

793
01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:48.600
that, we also see the genesis of our divine design. We see the divine design

794
01:05:48.600 --> 01:05:52.240
of who we are because Jesus didn't just come as an example for us to do all

795
01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:58.120
these rules. He came as an example of who we truly are. He came as an example of

796
01:05:58.120 --> 01:06:01.840
who we truly are. And Jesus understands that the way that you're going to get

797
01:06:01.840 --> 01:06:05.480
free is not by telling you what to do, but by telling you who you are. And so

798
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:09.160
Jesus came to tell you who you are, not what to do, because when you know who you

799
01:06:09.160 --> 01:06:13.320
are, you'll know what to do. So I hope that has blessed you. We're going to

800
01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:19.320
explore these way, way deeper. We're going to jump into that as we go

801
01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:22.960
forward in this journey. So much more exciting stuff that we're going to get

802
01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:28.400
stuck into. And I've probably raised heaps and heaps of questions there today.

803
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:32.360
We're going to come into a season where we answer lots and lots of questions and

804
01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:37.160
explore lots and lots of these concepts. And I'm kind of setting you up

805
01:06:37.160 --> 01:06:41.240
too as well, because next week I'm going to set up for some awesome love

806
01:06:41.240 --> 01:06:45.160
encounters. And I'm looking forward to people having real significant love

807
01:06:45.160 --> 01:06:49.720
encounters of their own. So that's going to be awesome. But it's kind of prepping

808
01:06:49.720 --> 01:06:54.760
the wineskin, getting that level of trust up so that we can receive His love. But I

809
01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:59.880
hope you guys love that. Massive, massive love to you all. Millie, great to see you.

810
01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:06.240
What I would love to hear from you right now, just take a

811
01:07:06.240 --> 01:07:10.320
moment, just shout out one of your top things. One of the top things that you

812
01:07:10.440 --> 01:07:15.600
valued just from this session just now. What was one of the top things

813
01:07:15.600 --> 01:07:23.600
that you learned? Like, oh my gosh, that was a big revelation or this

814
01:07:23.600 --> 01:07:29.120
really impacted me. What was one thing that has been powerful for you in this

815
01:07:29.120 --> 01:07:32.400
session? Would love to hear. Just jot some of those down in the comments just now.

816
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:36.840
I'll start reading them out of what people have been getting out of this.

817
01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:42.320
And then also, if you jumped in partway through, make sure that you

818
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:46.120
go back and get this, because this message is going to be what

819
01:07:46.120 --> 01:07:50.200
upgrades your normal. Adam and Eve walked as orphans before the fall.

820
01:07:50.200 --> 01:07:56.160
That saying, love revealed at the cross. Jane realizing that her

821
01:07:56.160 --> 01:08:01.080
core problem is a false image of who God is. Yes, that false image of who God is is

822
01:08:01.080 --> 01:08:05.960
the foundation for the orphan illusion. If we get rid, listen, the cross

823
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:09.720
didn't add anything. The cross didn't add new information to the gospel. Those

824
01:08:09.720 --> 01:08:13.880
are huge. That's massive. Yeah, the Lord came to show us who we are.

825
01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:18.080
Yeah, this is massive stuff. These are huge, huge, huge paradigms that will

826
01:08:18.080 --> 01:08:23.240
change your life. When I said upgrade your normal in 14 days in the promotion

827
01:08:23.240 --> 01:08:27.520
for this, it's getting these concepts that literally will. Yeah, he loves you

828
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:32.080
no matter what. Yeah, the false image of God stuff, that's massive. Great

829
01:08:32.080 --> 01:08:37.560
interaction guys. Great stuff on sharing those comments. Loving that. One thing, oh

830
01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:42.600
yeah, the Father's nature is revealed through Jesus. Yes, and also Jesus is the

831
01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:46.560
glove and the Father is the hand inside the glove. Everything that Jesus does is

832
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:55.960
a revelation of the Father. Boom, that's glorious stuff. So, what I really love

833
01:08:55.960 --> 01:08:59.359
you to do as well, is keep those lives up. There's been some really

834
01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:03.880
awesome lives coming in from the family. So, that just really helps us connect in

835
01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:09.000
with you. So, Leighton, Ernest, you guys are awesome peeps. I'd love to have you

836
01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:12.800
guys and all of you awesome people. I just love you guys. I'd love to hear, you

837
01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:17.000
know, 60 second live from you. Just a highlight of one thing. Boom, that hit me.

838
01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:23.800
That got me real deep. That was powerful. So, I hope that's been awesome for you.

839
01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:28.920
I have a surprise for you tomorrow. You'll find out. But, there is a

840
01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:31.680
surprise that's going to come out tomorrow, I think. Just stay tuned. Keep

841
01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:34.279
your eyes on the notifications coming into the group tomorrow, because you'll

842
01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:41.040
love those. I'm going to put this handout up for you on the website. So, boom, you're

843
01:09:41.040 --> 01:09:45.840
going to love that. That's going to be awesome. I'm going to start coming out,

844
01:09:45.840 --> 01:09:53.000
like maybe, I'm going to start coming up with some information later on as well, on

845
01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:57.720
the 12 week as well. Going deeper in there. Alicia's just asking, is it

846
01:09:57.720 --> 01:10:02.000
the wrong time for a question? No, shoot. Alicia, let's...

847
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:07.220
Um, let's take a question and I'll see how well I can I can answer a question for you while we're while we're sitting here

848
01:10:08.220 --> 01:10:11.400
So yeah, shoot a question out Alicia. Um, oh

849
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:18.740
Yes, Alicia absolutely I am going to explain why Jesus said my god my god, why have you forsaken me?

850
01:10:18.740 --> 01:10:20.740
I'm going to explain that and

851
01:10:21.300 --> 01:10:25.700
Separation is an illusion. So if you look at your timetables, which are up on the website

852
01:10:26.400 --> 01:10:32.040
If you look at your timetables that are up on the website we have that's the first session on Monday

853
01:10:32.040 --> 01:10:34.040
So on Monday at 3 p.m

854
01:10:34.340 --> 01:10:41.000
We're going to explore separation is an illusion and I'm going to knock that fella out of the park

855
01:10:41.160 --> 01:10:45.020
Yes, why did Jesus say my god my god? Why have you forsaken me?

856
01:10:45.020 --> 01:10:46.600
Eloy, Eloy la ma sabachthanay

857
01:10:46.600 --> 01:10:51.160
So great question and I've already planned to get that covered because I wrestle with that myself

858
01:10:51.700 --> 01:10:55.460
Monday 3 p.m. For that one. It's going to be fantastic and on

859
01:10:56.340 --> 01:11:02.940
On Saturday 10 a.m. New Zealand time. We're going to start exploring dreaming with God. So it's a slightly different

860
01:11:03.980 --> 01:11:05.980
different dynamic but

861
01:11:06.300 --> 01:11:12.460
That is going to be wild start getting you activated to dream with the Trinity start getting you activated to dance with the Trinity

862
01:11:12.580 --> 01:11:15.860
so the next session coming up is

863
01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:24.000
Dreaming with God you're going to love that how to learn how to unlock the desires of your heart and dream with the Trinity

864
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:29.480
So love you massive massive love to everyone jump on those lives as well idea

865
01:11:29.480 --> 01:11:32.400
It's going to be awesome. Can't wait to see your faces and hear your thoughts

866
01:11:33.280 --> 01:11:35.280
and I

867
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:40.320
Am just going to pray a quick prayer for us and they're going to wrap it up. So Papa

868
01:11:40.320 --> 01:11:43.120
I thank you so much for everyone that's here

869
01:11:43.120 --> 01:11:47.540
I think you split so much for everyone who can hear my voice and Jesus

870
01:11:47.540 --> 01:11:50.900
I thank you for the your word in John 17 26

871
01:11:51.020 --> 01:11:55.480
That you have revealed the father to us and you will continue to reveal the father to us

872
01:11:55.660 --> 01:12:01.780
So that the love that he has for you will be in us and we felt in our hearts and I just pray that

873
01:12:01.980 --> 01:12:03.980
Jesus for every single person

874
01:12:03.980 --> 01:12:05.780
They can hear my voice everyone

875
01:12:05.780 --> 01:12:12.300
That's a part of this adventure that your love that the love of the father will begin to supernaturally

876
01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:15.000
tangibly

877
01:12:15.040 --> 01:12:16.560
Powerfully

878
01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:17.520
extravagantly

879
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:25.160
explode in their hearts that that love would break down every false image of who the father is that it would destroy every lie about

880
01:12:25.160 --> 01:12:30.000
God that it would break down every false image of God that it would destroy all the work of

881
01:12:30.160 --> 01:12:34.160
religion and all the work of lies and all the work of the enemy and all the

882
01:12:34.400 --> 01:12:40.080
All the lies we believe from a poor fathering Lord. I thank you for breaking those down

883
01:12:40.080 --> 01:12:47.340
I think you've been breaking down our walls of isolation and disconnection and separation and drawing us into this place of total vulnerability

884
01:12:47.660 --> 01:12:52.860
Total surrender that all our walls come down so we can be baptized in your love

885
01:12:53.420 --> 01:12:58.100
So I just say Papa flood us flood us flood us flood us with your goodness

886
01:12:58.460 --> 01:13:04.540
Flood us with your kindness flood us with a revelation of who you are in Jesus name. Amen

887
01:13:04.540 --> 01:13:13.320
Boom love you guys. See you soon. Have a rad day. Watch out for the notifications coming into this group tomorrow. See you
