because Tamara celebrated her first year anniversary of God Mail.
I know, I think that's incredible.
So happy anniversary.
Thank you.
I cannot believe I started out with a Facebook Live,
sitting in my windowsill nook, and I mean,
and one of my favorite comments I received on that day
was keep sharing God Mail.
And I said, okay, Lord.
I just got it as a confirmation.
All right, Lord, I'm on the right track.
That was my favorite comment I received that day
when I went live for the first time.
And I salute you, Monica,
if you went live every day for a year,
it's intimidating.
It is intimidating.
I was like counting all the ums in my video,
but I was like, hey, you know what, Lord?
I just went for it.
But afterwards, I was like, ooh, I did say um a lot of times,
but I said at least they got the message.
It's one thing to watch the video you just recorded,
like the raw footage,
but to go back a year of something you recorded?
Yes.
I still have stuff for 10 years ago on YouTube.
You grow, you grow with each video.
Voice is different.
Yes.
I still do.
I never fix that.
Anyone else had a win for this week?
I think, Lynette, you had a...
I did.
Oh, Marilyn, Jasmine, I think...
I needed encouraging
because I've had a really problem with Instagram,
but I did look up a TikTok video I put on yesterday,
and it's already at 6,000 and more.
Oh, my gosh.
That's amazing.
So just the Holy Spirit, you're guaranteed.
Come on.
I guess it's what people want, right?
Come on.
It could be what people need as well.
I think so.
We're speaking into people's hearts,
not just their heads,
and their spirits are resonating with the truth.
That's good.
That's so, so good.
Lynette, I think you had an event recently?
Yes, I did.
Sorry, I have had a crazy season,
crazy good and crazy difficult in some ways.
My mom is...
I'm taking care of my mom
who just was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
So on top of really great things that's happening,
so it's a tension of that balance, right?
But yeah, so I...
First off, I miss you guys.
I just miss you so much,
and I know it was birthday week for some people,
so happy birthday, Bruce.
Was it baby birthday too?
I can't remember.
Tomorrow.
So it's birthday week.
They're three days apart,
and so tomorrow we celebrate.
That's exciting.
But I miss you guys.
Lots of great is happening.
We had 10 panelists
from different parts of the country and the world,
and we're going to do this monthly,
and it's a different walk.
Just a tiny bit different.
I know we each have our own individual journeys
on what God's calling us to do, right?
So I just have had that balance of knowing,
okay, Lord, what do you need me to do next?
And that's all I'm going to do
because I just don't have the bandwidth for all of it.
But honestly, Bruce and Lindsay,
without you guys,
we couldn't be doing what we're doing in our ministry.
Honestly, there's just so many elemental steps
that I had to learn, and boy, was I.
And now I'm teaching others who were, are,
like me, very nervous to do that digital landscape,
and now we're growing.
So I just, you know,
this is always going to be home for me
in the midst of me trying to make dinner for my mom.
So just love you guys, and thank you for being here,
and you're just such a blessing.
We love you, Lynette.
We're so proud of you, and each and every one of you.
We know, guys, there's going to be seasons,
and there's going to be ebbs and flows
as far as how connected you can be to the live stuff,
but know that this, we want you,
this to be your hub and your safe space
and your place to land, no matter, you know,
if it's a busy season with difficulty,
a busy season with, you know, goodness,
or a little bit of both.
Usually it's a little bit of both.
So just know we're here for you,
but so good to see your face
and excited for all that the Lord is doing.
It sounds like it's been stretching,
that's good because that means it's strengthening as well.
Yeah, we'll be praying for your mom
and praying for you as the caretaker as well.
Thank you, thank you so much.
I did have a question.
One of my clients has,
she wants to do a brand new Facebook business page
and I wasn't sure,
I don't know if you saw my question in the chat,
if you had any suggestions.
On Facebook?
In Facebook, yeah.
I think you dropped that, was it today?
I did.
Let's just do one quick pause.
Tamara, can you just do a quick prayer
because I just want to launch us into that
and then we'll do it.
The answers will be better after we pray.
Always, and then we'll jump right in, absolutely.
Go ahead, Tamara.
Amen.
Father, we love you.
We thank you so, so much for your goodness towards us.
Through it all, we can rely on you,
through the stretching, through the joys,
through the sorrows, through the frustrations.
You are with us, as Lindsay says,
you are peace, you're right here
and you haven't gone anywhere.
And we just thank you that we can trust in that.
So I pray over us this day
that we would be even the more intentional
to dwell in the secret place,
that we would carve out even more time
just to be with you, not even for our ministries,
not for our podcasts, not for any other thing,
but just to have that time with you.
So God, that is my prayer for us.
I pray that you will continue to strengthen
each and every one of us, oh God, to forge forward,
to go forward.
You're not a God that retreats.
You move forward.
So I thank you, God, that you will give strength.
You will give strength to those
that might even be feeling faint or weak,
even in this present time, oh God,
that you will give strength to them.
You will give them that second wind that they need, oh God,
that boost, oh God, that they need.
And I thank you that you will meet every need
in the name of Jesus.
You will supply, you will heal,
you will deliver and make free, oh God.
You will give the shalom because that's who you are.
It is your good pleasure to do these things
for your sons and daughters that are here live
and those that will see the replay.
Again, God, we thank you for Bruce.
We thank you for Lindsey.
We thank you for another year of life for Bruce.
We just pray, oh God,
that you will bless him, overwhelm him, oh God,
with your goodness, overwhelm him with your wisdom,
overwhelm him with your shalom, oh God.
You're saying to him, this is the way, walk in it.
So God, I pray that he will walk in it confidently,
everything that you have for him to do
and for his family to do.
And God, I thank you for it.
I thank you, God, for the strategies,
for the downloads, for the clarity,
for the divine partnerships, the connections,
the open doors and favor over Bruce and his family.
I thank you also for Lindsey, oh God, for her heart.
We pray, oh God, that you will continue
to just have those, I just hear the word,
just come sup with me.
Like he wants to just come away with you, Lindsey,
and just you and him just to spend that time.
I thank you that in those times,
it will just be the most beautiful,
refreshing, oh God, for Lindsey.
And I pray that you would pour back into her,
pour back into both of them,
all that they have been pouring out, oh God,
that their cup would overflow.
And we give you honor and praise for that.
And we loop in our co-coach, Monica.
We thank you for her life, oh God.
I pray, oh God, that you will continue
to give her downloads and strategies
and all that she needs to co-partner
with Bruce and Lindsey as coaching for us.
And it's in Jesus' name that we pray and give thanks.
Amen and amen.
Amen.
Awesome.
So confirming, Tamara.
I feel like the Lord has been just inviting me
to sup with him specifically this week.
And I think there's so much resistance to that sometimes
in our spirits because we live
in a high productivity society.
And we think that we're only being productive
if we're moving, if we're doing something,
if we're checking something off of our list
and it is stealing, robbing from us,
not just communion with God,
but communion with the people we love, our families.
So even just your prayer, can I just say,
even the length of your prayer was an invitation
for all of us to surrender that resistance and just.
in communicating with the Lord.
I find sometimes that my prayer has been rushed
because I'm just wanting to knock it out.
There's something about just even being okay with,
let's just take some time and just pray
and as much time as it needs to be.
So thank you for that
because I feel like that was very confirming
and it was a display of what the Lord was desiring
for all of us.
So that's amazing.
Lynette, I'm pulling up that question that you had,
but it had to do with Facebook business
and setting up Facebook business.
And while we're doing that,
we only had one person ask a question from Lee and Brendan,
but if you guys have questions,
just put up your Zoom hand.
And that'll just queue up everybody
and we'll just go top to bottom.
Really, you're just looking for that Facebook business page.
Okay, so yeah, I'll let Bruce read it.
Do they still need to set up a personal account?
Yes, you're always gonna need a personal Facebook account
just to be able to do anything on Facebook.
You don't have to like use it,
but you have to have a set up.
You don't have to do anything with it,
but you do have to have an account
just so you have a username and password to get in.
So I don't know if that answers the question.
And then you just need the,
and then the link is business.facebook.com, right?
Once you've set up a personal page.
Yeah, well, to create a page,
and there's a tutorial somewhere in the KMTB as well.
I thought there would be, so.
Yeah, no, it's in there.
And it's just, you know,
it's kind of changed probably a little.
Let me just, I'll show you real quick.
So if you go, and of course,
this is a little different than,
I think it's over here in the menu.
You can actually create,
and then on the right here, or left here,
so you can actually do a post, a page, an ad, or a group.
And so that's where you would just start the page there.
So you would just click create page,
and then it would start you off like creating a page here.
Yeah, if no one had like an account,
I guess I got that part.
But if no one like even had an account to begin with,
I didn't know if there was a way
to just do a business account.
I thought that there was something that changed.
Okay, yeah.
I don't think so, unless Monica thinks differently.
Okay, and once you have a personal page,
can you convert that to like an author page
or to like a, what do they call it?
There's a public figure page, or can you not?
You can't convert like a personal page to something else.
There's two things, two words, I just wanna, yeah.
So there's like an account, which is your personal account,
which you have to have to do anything on Facebook,
and then there's something called a page.
And so you have to have the personal account,
and then you can't really convert that to a page.
From that account, you would build a page.
That could be your public figure,
but I'll let Monica speak into that.
Yeah, actually there's something,
just in case it pops up on your personal profile,
which is where you always start on Facebook, right?
You have to have that,
you have to be an entity to just be on the platform.
They're actually rolling out a personal profile
business style option that's starting to come out now,
where you're able to do the regular things
you would be able to do on a personal profile,
but now it's monetized,
so you can actually monetize some of the content
that you create on your personal profile.
So you may not have it.
If you do get it,
there will be a little invitation that pops up,
and you'll have a notification that lets you know.
So they're always changing things,
right and left and experimenting and doing all of that.
So there will be in the very near future,
the opportunity to kind of morph both of those things
and off of your personal profile,
create kind of a business style page.
Gotcha.
Yeah, that's what I was asking,
because I knew there were some updates
in the works for Facebook.
So I know this is where to get the latest and greatest.
So thank you, sister.
And I appreciate that.
Sweet.
Hey, Marianne, I see your hand.
Yes, I'm still having problem with Instagram.
The sideways video?
Yeah, the stretched video.
Every one I put on there is sideways.
If I do it on my phone, I have to read.
I went into my phone company this morning,
and she went right through my phone
and changed the,
something.
I don't know.
She did all sorts of things.
And at the end of it, she said,
tried it and it still didn't work.
And she said, she really feels it's a glitch in Instagram.
It is definitely an Instagram glitch.
Because I'm... Yeah, yeah. If you go online and ask the question, why is it doing this?
There's lots of people asking the same question. So my question is, as far as I can see on Google,
you cannot do a reel on a laptop. Yeah, I think that's correct. Yeah. Even on the...
Even if you do the 60 second one, it doesn't come out as a reel.
Yeah, I don't think you can schedule a reel yet. It's kind of funny how things aren't...
Like the Facebook Creator Studio, where you can go to Instagram and create a post,
there's not a way to post a reel from Creator Studio yet. Yeah. They will do that at some point.
Marion, have you tried... Two of my go-tos is, of course, rebooting the phone.
And then the second one, if you've done that, is completely deleting the app from your phone.
I did that. Yeah, I did that. Yeah, and I did that yesterday. Then the other one is to check
for updates. I did that. Yeah. And she found several other things that she did, and none of
it worked. But in the meantime, my views have gone down tremendously. Yeah. The ones that are sideways,
I'm getting maybe 400. That's it, where I was getting thousands. Yeah. It's really affected it.
I would love to test that to see, because it is an issue. I'm wondering if... So there's a couple
ways. You can always say, yes, it's Instagram's fault, and we can just wait for them to fix it.
But there's always ways to... Because other people are uploading videos. So my thoughts are that it's
probably something where we could... If you can share the file that you're sending to Instagram,
so like a video file, maybe just, I don't know, put it in Google Drive or Dropbox or
WeTransfer or something. There's a lot of ways to share that file. You won't be able to email it,
but if I could take that, and we could just see... There's probably a way to convert that file
to a different format, and then you could upload it. So it could be a temporary workaround.
It was an extra step. Yeah. Because I can't replicate the issue here. I would just need
to see that exact file. Okay. I'm more curious. Marian, are you JudsonMarian7 on Instagram?
Yeah. Yeah. So none of your reels are sideways on my phone. None of them. They all look perfect.
Click on it and play it, and then it turns sideways.
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Just that one, though.
No, there's four. One that you posted hours ago is upright for me.
Yeah. Four of them. The one I posted a few hours ago?
That one's good. That one's normal for me. It's playing perfectly.
It's not on my phone. Yeah. This is the one she's showing you.
Yeah. But the one that you posted, I guess, yesterday is sideways for me.
Yeah. That is sideways. That is yesterday's.
There is one hack. One hack that I'm thinking right now that might work is that now
if you've updated Instagram, you should be able to convert a story into a reel.
I'm sorry, but you're right. It's the right way up now.
Yeah. That's weird.
And it wasn't. The one before it isn't. They were both done on the same day.
Well, so maybe since she changed something on my phone, maybe it has made a difference.
Okay. Yeah. We'll test it. And again, some of the things we could do is for you to share the file.
Yeah. There's a couple ways you could share that, but we could see if we could replicate it. But
yeah, and they will kind of correct themselves. And I'm kind of wondering if it would even,
if Facebook or Instagram will go back and fix the old posts for you,
because it is definitely on their side.
Well, I actually did fill in something on their help thing. And all I said was,
thank you. They didn't give me any solutions.
Yeah. It's been going on for nearly three weeks.
I know. Yeah. I know you've brought it up a few times.
Yeah.
Monica, you were telling me something.
Oh yes. I was saying that another hack, and even if you want to use a story,
basically they've now in their latest update, they've given us the ability to turn a story into
To a real really yes, so if you were to upload it as a story and put it in your in a highlight in one of your highlights and I can do a tutorial on how to do it now they give you the ability, even if you have some old stories any of you, if you have some old stories that are have good little just clips of some good content, you can take that and actually into a real so that was going to be my next idea if you uploaded it as a story and then.
yeah.
i'll see what what happens with the next one, if this last one was okay, then maybe it will it solved I don't know.
So i'll try it out first and if it doesn't solve it you want what you want me to do is take my video from my video storage just the original video and send you that right.
So yeah just i'd be curious, because if we can find a workaround basically what I would do is like open it in some APP and I can test this out, so you can do it on your phone and then just convert it to a different format and then try to upload that new file and it may be fine.
I actually tried doing all on canva and then uploading it.
out of canva and it's still. Well, I don't have camera on my phone, it was on my laptop so.
Also, there was something else I tried.
I can't remember now.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay, let us know.
It's more fixed than it was last week of it.
All right.
Yeah, and maybe you know I prayed about it, I felt I was supposed to down to get my phone checked out and i'm there was a reason for that so maybe it is going to work.
There you go.
So that's only a couple of hours ago right. Yeah, four hours ago. Yeah.
So most recent one.
Yeah, okay.
Hey Hillary.
Lindsay, thank you for chatting with me.
We got to, we got to see both Marcella and Hillary and Michael in California and I got to have a nice little chat with all of them was nice.
It was wonderful. It was just, it was a gift sitting there. So that's kind of like, that's kind of, I thought okay well I have a meeting at four so.
Nobody else is putting their hand up I'll just put their my hand up and say right here a few things that happened and Lynn that I don't know if you're in earshot, you might be serving your mom, but I, I anyway I dropped a word the Lord gave me a word about caregivers
and about handmaidens and anyway I dropped that word for you he said he's restoring honor to the caregiver does the story of Ruth, he's making the caregiver hero so that more people understand that commandment for love.
It's his story so I, I got home to my mom on my mom's 80th birthday we flew home and she's my dad's full caregiver and we have all been around the clock for him so I understand that.
So, oh yeah, yeah Marcella that was hysterical.
That was a riot right I'm like, Oh my gosh, what's going on here. Okay. All right, sorry. So, um, okay. So, I, I came home, and knowing, all right, I've kind of been in this like super busy hiatus like I'm just, I haven't been building my thing but I've
with a full round the clock calendar.
And just at the same time this this underpinning Lord What do you want me to do. So I was on with one of my family rooms the other day, and in 100x, and, and one of them funny guy from like Detroit.
He said sister Hill, sister Hill, like nothing against you but could you just move the camera because I really just need to see Jesus's hands because normally there.
Some of my paintings are behind me. He's like that's really what I just need to see.
So, I was like no problem no problem Kevin and I just like moved the thing. So he could just receive, and then another lady and then these other people are like, God is constantly talking to me through those paintings, and each one of them that I've done
prophetic word from God but I've never done anything with them because I've never learned how to paint.
Also, I can't do something with my paintings
because I haven't learned how to paint.
So I haven't, and what they were telling me was
you're withholding from people the thing,
this message God is doing through you.
So then I was on another call and these people said,
like, I just see something about what God's doing in you
with a prophetic coaching, prophetic consultation,
prophetic painting, and, you know,
they were just saying all these things.
And I'm like, okay, Lord, I'm just, I'm just listening.
And then I had to leave that call
because someone had booked my time for an appointment.
And I get on with him and he said,
I know we don't have much time and this is my appointment,
but I just see all sorts of things converging over you
for an acceleration in the prophetic.
So I'm just throwing that out here,
like, you know, just to say like,
I just go like, I don't know what to do with this, boom.
And then, you know, and I know just what you prayed
and what you were saying, Lindsay, was that, you know,
the Lord told me recently, Hillary,
part of letting me love you is to remain in this place
where you're exchanging your natural thoughts
and inclinations to trusting I am responding to you
and your load is intentionally lightened
and you will see yourself bear a different fruit.
So here's the thing with breakthrough, guys.
It's for us and it's for others.
And a lot of us get stuck in the tension of that
because it's obvious,
it's usually happening simultaneously.
Sometimes it's not.
Sometimes there's seasons, I've gone through seasons
where I have been plucked out
of every conceivable opportunity for output
because the Lord needs me to draw back
and receive just intentional input
in a very concentrated way.
So there are seasons like that.
We usually call them seasons of transition.
And we usually think that they're seasons of failure,
perhaps seasons of letdown, seasons of rejection.
But often the Lord is using those things to draw us out
so he can draw us in and pour into us.
But most of the time, breakthrough is happening within us
and it's happening to those that we are serving,
the people that we're ministering to through us.
Like it's happening simultaneously.
We talked about this with Denise a couple of weeks ago.
There's things that the Lord is speaking to us
for us in the secret place
and those aren't necessarily episodes yet, right?
And so there's this figuring,
but we get stuck feeling about like thinking,
okay, what is the Lord doing with me?
And then what should I be doing?
And we, it gets muddy.
And so there's something about how we posture ourselves
in the simultaneous of us growing as sons and daughters
and us moving in the world as sons and daughters,
like taking creation out of its frustration
because we're showing up in places that we're called to be
and speaking to people we're called to reach.
And I feel like there's one thing
that makes all the difference.
And it's so simple, we miss it.
And that is belief.
So there was all these words at the beginning of the year
from big prophets and local prophets.
And that was, this is, you know,
the Lord is doing a new thing.
Like Isaiah, the Lord is doing a new thing.
The Lord is doing a new thing.
New wineskins, and that's awesome.
He is doing a new thing,
but we're looking for the results.
We're looking for the outcome.
We're looking for the expression of the new thing.
And in order to be new, we first have to believe new.
In order to participate in the new, we have to believe new.
And before it's belief about anything else,
often we're thinking it's,
okay, I have to believe differently about my business.
I have to believe differently about the world,
things that are happening in the world, world events.
Before it's any of that, it comes down to identity.
What we believe about ourselves,
and even before that, what we believe about God.
Everything stems from that.
Who we believe God to be.
Do we believe he is who he says he is?
Do we believe his word?
Because how does an invisible God relate to us,
make himself known?
How is an invisible God tangible?
His word.
He gives us his word,
and then we're invited to receive it or not, choice.
will. We're invited to choose to participate in it through trust or not. But once we choose Him
and we believe, you know what, Lord, I believe you are who you say you are, then we have to
believe something differently about ourselves because there's no more, there's no separation
and our identities are now intermingled through Christ. So again, I just, what happens sometimes
is we're always thinking about the thing before we're thinking about the identity.
And so what I want to encourage everyone to do, Hillary, myself included, and I'm not picking
on you, Hillary. This is something that we literally in the last 48 hours have been having
conversations about. And I caught myself feeling overwhelmed. I caught myself feeling discouraged
and disempowered. We feel like the Lord is breathing some new things onto us. And I was like,
I wasn't even excited about it because I was thinking about the thing and I wasn't choosing
to believe something first, new upgraded, increased trust in Him that would overflow
into an increased belief in my capacity and what He's wanting to do in me that would then be an
overflow out into the breakthrough for others. And so, and if any of you guys are feeling stuck,
if you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're feeling confused, if you're feeling tired,
if you're feeling exhausted, if you're feeling stretched, I want to encourage you
to take some time to believe something new. First, first, commune with the Lord. Let Him,
let Him speak to you about who He is. Lord, who are you? What I was, what I was forgetting or what
I had kind of, you know, let go of in a way was the belief that He, it all comes down to He is
the perfect Father. He's the perfect Father. He's not looking to fail me. He's not looking to give
me an F. And sometimes whenever there's this new like ministry opportunity or new business idea,
I immediately shrink back because I have, I am needing to practice a deeper trust in His goodness,
in His faithfulness towards me that He's not, He's not looking for me to screw it up. He's
not like waiting for, to see how I'm going to do, like He's with me in the process.
And I'll, and once I can focus my trust on that, I begin to get a bigger picture of who I am. I
begin to expand my capacity increases. Nothing has actually changed except for what I'm choosing to
believe, because what does the Bible say? We have been given everything we need for life and
godliness. There's so many scriptures that back up high, that we are, we are people of high capacity
or people of authority or people of power. It's not that it then becomes true. It's that we just
start to believe it's true. We finally just start to believe it. And so we attach ourselves to the
truth through a choice to believe it and let that overflow into everything else we're doing.
So Hilary, it sounds like the Lord is speaking and He's using many people to confirm that there's a
deeper capacity for you in the prophetic. And it's going to be, it's going to culminate with your
business ventures and your ministry ventures. So that's really exciting before you, and I think
you should start to dream about what does this look like? Is it prophetic art? And if it is,
and it's, you know, prophetic coaching is prophetic consultation. Like what does that look like? Yeah,
like let's get to work on tactics and strategies, but you can't do that if you don't first
believe this is who I am. And I have a perfect father backing me up, who's already given me
everything I need. He's empowered and equipped me to be who I am. And then we get to have that
conversation of what does who I am look like to creation? What does it look like in this world?
So my first piece of homework for you is just own it. Say yes and amen to this, and then ask the
Holy Spirit for the next right step. Don't get overwhelmed by all the things it could be. What
is the next right thing it can be? And often it's connected to what is it that I want to do?
Like we, Bruce and I have to come back to that question often because we're breaking ourselves
from a religious mindset that says just because we want to do something, it means it's not of God.
Like maybe it's the same thing. Yeah. It's like, no, actually like we are one with God so that,
and we are pursuing him wholeheartedly. And so our desires are now commingled. And if,
and if we're off track, we trust the Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us in all truth and lead us
in holy conviction. But there's so many sons and daughters right now that are held back because
they think the thing that the Lord has made them to do is not the thing that they actually want to
do. It's like, what do you want to do? Like what's in your heart to do? Do you want to paint? Do you
want to do prophetic art? Do you want to sell your prophetic art? Do you want to sell your prophetic
art? Who do you want to sell it to? Like, what do you want that to look like? As you dream,
what's going to be tested the most is not so much how you do it. Cause like all the tech,
all the opportunities.
is there to do it.
You can sell art online.
You can literally set up your shop today
and start selling art.
But if you don't believe that's who you are,
you're gonna constantly come up against resistance
and overwhelm and exhaustion and frustration.
And you're not going to be able to push past any of that
if you don't actually believe that this is who you are.
And if you don't actually believe
that you have a perfect father that's backing you up
and empowering you to do the thing that you are,
that he's made you to do.
And I'd say, I feel like from the father's heart on it
is that he doesn't want just the end result,
like you're saying.
He's looking for that identity for you to believe,
to have the right believing of who you are.
And I think this is fascinating
because you see this even in the world.
There's a show that we love called Undercover Billionaire
where people, they take a billionaire
and they like put him, it's on Discovery Plus,
you can go watch it.
But they put them in like a, they change their name,
they give them a new identity
and they give them a hundred dollars pickup truck
and they have 90 days to go recreate a million dollar
business.
And what's crazy is the level of confidence they have
because they know who they are.
They know they're a billionaire.
Technically.
Even if nobody else knows that.
No one knows they're a billionaire
and they can't use that,
but they have the confidence and the belief in themself
to go pull this off.
And it's amazing to see like the results that are there.
And it's, that's just something that I feel like the Lord's
because if you can change how you believe
or how you see yourself,
that opens up decades, right?
Of like possibility.
Whereas like, if we just say,
Oh Lord, help me with this one thing.
He gives you the one thing.
And then that, it doesn't really go anywhere.
Well, cause there's going to be some type of resistance.
There's going to be something that you have to buck up
against that your identity makes a way for you.
And we think it's the extra effort.
We think it's hard work.
We think even if you study,
like Bruce is saying billionaires, even the world,
even if they're not saying this is what it is,
again, truth is truth.
And so there's some fence jumpers
that are not going through the gate of Jesus
and they're having temporary success right now
because there's people who so believe in themselves
that nothing can hold them back.
Some of the most successful people, you read their stories.
A lot of them come, they come from like dirt poverty.
Like they're not trust funded babies.
They grew up in total poverty.
They had no resource.
They had no generational backing.
And now they're, you know, multimillionaires.
You read about their stories and their hardships.
And the only thing that makes them different
from anyone else in this world,
because it wasn't any external resource.
It was just a belief that they could do it.
It was just this.
And so how, maybe I'm just a little bit frustrated
with myself, but like how much, not with you guys,
but just like, there's so many sons of God,
sons and daughters of God walking around
and they have everything they need
because of who they are and whose they are.
And they're doing nothing.
And I'm not talking about,
I think it's not about the followers and the impact,
though that is, you know, important.
And it's not that it's not important.
It's just that even in a local context,
even in a family dynamic, even in just a small group,
whatever the Lord has given in their hands,
they're not moving forward in it
because they don't believe who they are.
They're letting things like,
they're attaching themselves to false identities
and they're letting that be a lifestyle of just,
like it's a lifestyle of identity crisis.
So I know you know who you are, Hillary.
I'm not picking on you, but it just,
it broke something up in me
because this is something the Lord's been speaking to me
over the last 48 hours, just about my own self.
You know, there's always a opportunity
to dive deeper into this
because there's always layers of expansion
to be had in who we are and what we're doing.
But I just wanna encourage anyone on here,
you know, like, if nothing,
if you don't do anything else today,
like start believing new.
Start believing something different about yourself.
Start believing something new and deeper
about who the Lord is
and then who the Lord has made you to be
because that's gonna do, like Bruce said,
that'll do decades of impact.
I think this issue is that we've brought it up a few times,
but we've spent a lot of time talking about tactics
and strategy here at Kingdom Messengers.
And the one thing you made a comment the other day
where it's like, it's really about the kingdom,
the messenger, right?
It comes down to this issue here.
If that's all we do in 12 months or whatever,
however long you're hanging out with us
is help upgrade your view of what you're capable of doing
and what the Lord's calling you in here.
That's pretty much all this is all for.
I mean, there's lots of things to answer tech questions
and all of that,
but that's like our main heart is to see that.
And I mean, this, and again,
this is something we're kind of walking out
in a different level.
last couple of days, where we felt like the Lord called us into like, um, it's
like upgrading sort of our, um, our goals and, and not, and not coming
at it from a place of scarcity.
And so that happened like the last couple of days and the Lord's just
like teed up different conversations.
People have given us words, things have happened and it's been extremely
effortless, I would say, to go from.
Okay.
We're just kind of following the breadcrumbs of like what the Lord's
leaving for us and it's, it feels, um, irresponsible almost in some ways,
but we're just, we, we, we know what the Lord's called us to, and we're
just like walking that out.
And like, as it's coming to us, I don't know if there's anything you want.
I think the, it's not when you believe something different about yourself,
there's an activation that happens.
So it's not like, okay, now I believe this and I'm going to sit on it.
It's if I believe this about myself, is this, if this is who I am, then
what does that mean and what does that look like?
And what, what step, this is faith guys.
What step can I take today that test or proves that choice to believe?
Right.
So like, so this is, so this is part of what we're doing.
Like we felt like the Lord has called us to do, and we'll be sharing with you.
I'm not trying to be secret.
It's just, we're trying to still articulate it in our own heads and hearts.
But in the last 48 hours, I felt like that God had given us kind of a next step.
And I was immediately resistant.
And I know enough to know that if I'm not experiencing peace and something, I need
to bring that to the Lord and have a conversation with him about it because
peace is who I am, right?
Like that's, I can, if I'm not experiencing peace, like something's off
cause I can expect peace always.
And so I have to have a conversation with the Lord about why is that?
And he brought this to my attention.
You're not believing the truth about yourself.
You're, you're believing limiting things about yourself,
scarcity, mindset, all that stuff.
So, okay, we have to do some exchanges, right?
We can do that on the quick.
If I'm believing X about myself, like I have a, like I have a decreased
capacity or I'm limited capacity.
Then like, what is the upgrade?
Well, I want a higher capacity.
I want to believe I have a higher capacity.
So if I'm a person of high capacity, if I'm a person of a consequence in the
kingdom, what would a high capacity person of consequence in the kingdom
do in this situation?
And it's not hypothetical.
Yeah.
And that's a great question.
And I was like, I wrote that down as well, but there was a, I think it was
Andy Stanley who had that question from a leadership standpoint is like when
you're stuck as a leader, just ask, what would a great leader do in this
situation?
And then you can have, what would a great kingdom messenger do?
What would a great prophetic artists do like, so, so someone that you look up
to, what would they do with the current situation you have?
It's a great way to sort of reframe the question and, and your perspective of
it, because you're looking at it through the lens of what you have done in the
past and the Lord's always causing, calling you into something, an upgrade in
the future.
And so that, that's something that just this, that question, you just touched on
it now.
Like what would, what would that look like?
So that's just, and you can frame that for anything.
Like what would a great business person do?
What would, you know, anything that you're like, like mentally trying to get
around, you know, wrap your head around.
So anyway, yeah.
Yeah.
So the, the answer to that was, well, they wouldn't quit.
Yeah.
They wouldn't say no to this opportunity.
They wouldn't let fear, you know, and so we have to start saying yes to some
things and now, because that is also something that we had to take action now.
And so we set an aggressive goal for us, sales goal for the month of April, knowing
that we could not hit it with the current things that we're doing right now, knowing
that in order to hit that sales goal, we have to do some new things and we have to
do these new things that the Lord is opening up for us.
Like we're taking action on it.
And so, and we're doing it now.
And that's scary because especially when you're feeling lesser than feeling
overwhelmed, feeling frustrated, the, you just want to put it off into the future
because it's safe and it's comfortable in the future.
And, but like we bring it into the now, take what we're seeing, bring it into the
now and we start taking action on it today.
And the today doesn't have to be like, voila, the whole thing's done.
But what is like the next step?
Like, is it setting up the website?
Is it figuring out how to sell art online?
Is it opening up a funnel?
Is it like, what is the next thing?
Start to like chip away at it and hold yourself accountable by sharing like what
you're doing with people who will hold you accountable.
So we have a coaching group that we're, we're part of and saying, we're telling
them guys, this is what we're doing because we know that they're going to check in on
us and be like, and it's, it's embarrassing because, because we want to, you're like,
Oh, what are people going to think about this?
What are they, you know, what do they get?
You know?
So it's something that step out.
So that's the accountability and that taking action thing is good.
Like, and be bold with it.
Like, maybe it's like, I want to, I'm going to sell one of my prophetic art.
Think like in April, like just make that I'm going to sell it online to a
stranger in eight or someone online, you know, make it a goal like that, that
you can like, okay, I think that that's doable, or I can sell, sell five things
or prints or whatever, because then you just work backwards and say, what do I
have to, what are the steps I need to take to get to that point?
Um, so, and that's where you can definitely trust the Lord is like, when
you're sitting down to write down that number I had in my, um, just internally
set a number when we were doing this thing last week, and I felt like the
Lord was calling it to a much bigger number.
And so, cause I was thinking about it as from, for like, what would be good for
our needs and what, but the Lord's in it, this is, this is a multiplication
effect, like he's calling us into a much bigger thing.
And so we were like, it was, it was an embarrassing amount, like a goal, I
guess, like you were kind of hesitant to tell me about it.
Yeah.
I was hesitant to tell Lindsay about it.
That's a good way to, I mean, you know,
that's how, that's how stretching it was.
Yeah.
But it, it required me to say we are the kind of, and I think when I framed it to
you, I said, Hey, like, this is something we, cause we have so many words about
specific things that this, this would line up with.
So, um, anyway, I don't know if you want to comment or not.
I know.
I know we're doing a lot of talking.
No, this is awesome.
So I have to say something to you both because you have developed the
hearts of a mother and a father.
And because you're thinking of these things and not just thinking of these
things in terms of who you are, but thinking of these things in terms of how
to unlock even generations and the impact into nations and, and you just
elucidate, like I lose it on my kids and I needed a mama's voice today.
And so their response to me is when I talk like that, yes, ma'am.
Like, so I'm like, but did you really get it?
You know, did you really get it?
Yes, sir.
Because I needed that.
I needed that.
And recently the Lord said to me, Hillary, did you know your
whole body works by pressure?
So I started thinking on that, like just to make sure he was, you know,
knew what he was talking about.
Like, you know, and so I'm like, oh my gosh, every function, every organ,
every movement, every cell division, everything is a response to pressure.
I said, wow, Lord, that's true.
And I began thinking how the whole world, every weather system, every,
every plant that grows, everything is pressure.
And he said, Hillary, you couldn't pop a zit without pressure.
You wouldn't go to the bathroom without pressure.
You couldn't have a baby without pressure.
You couldn't digest your food without pressure.
You wouldn't change without pressure.
So he said, so Hillary, why don't you like pressure?
And I'm like, that's totally a trick question
because he had just told me that my thinking was all wrong, right?
I needed a metanoia so I could love the gift of pressure
so that I would be uncomfortable enough
not to stay in a place I don't even want to remain.
And so you just lied.
Some lovely I, I, I am not the type to stroke somebody where they remain
because the Lord told me the breakthrough I give to you is that not for others
through you, that was what you started with.
And and I it's hard to find somebody who will talk to me that way.
And you just did.
And I just want to say, yes, ma'am.
I love it. Thanks, Hillary.
I'm excited for you, Hillary.
Yeah, keep us keep us updated.
And as the other thing, accountability just show up on next week's call.
That's all you got to do.
Well, ask and tell us what you did.
Like we're going to go live in the group and say, hey, I've been challenged today.
Like I'm going to do this thing in April.
I'm going to do whatever.
So that's that's an easy way to do accountability.
Yes, we're part of all the coaching programs, right?
The easiest way to just stay where you are is just to not show up on the on the calls.
But sometimes like when we're not feeling good about where we're at,
we're confused, we're lost and we're like the enemy wants to
rob you of community, right?
Keep you in isolation and feel like, oh, everybody else on that call.
Has it worked out?
And one, they don't.
But just showing up like we did this in the last few weeks
as part of what's caused some of this breakthrough was was we had not been going
to if we have a lot of programs, right, that we're in.
And there was and we justified it.
We're like, oh, well, we have too many and we don't have like this.
And we have a baby replay.
And then we don't have a convenient time.
So just just be just show up like that.
And we, so to finish that story, we started showing up.
We felt like the Lord, there was some conviction in the last couple of weeks.
Lord said, you're like, this is a resource that I've gifted it, given
you and you're not using it.
And so we started showing up and I felt we were humbled.
The accountability as well was I felt humbled enough to reach out to one of
our mentors and say, until we hit X breakthrough, which I knew that this
person had done 10 times that I said, I will be on every live call that you are
doing, like, because I don't, you know, right, because there's something I can
learn from this person until I hit that breakthrough that I'm looking for.
So I, but I had to do that as a, as a personal step for accountability so that
I was like, Hey, we're all in, we're doing this thing, like expect us on the
calls and they were just like, awesome.
So I did, I reached out to a photographer who's in one of my groups and on the,
on the opposite kind of, um, Gulf coast of Florida.
So I've reached out to her to, to photograph the works and I've gotten two
websites for being able to put them so that people can go on and get whatever
they want.
I don't have to have an inventory and distribute and all that stuff.
And I reached out to, uh, a friend that I consider like one of those
coaches I'd be afraid of, like, and I told her I need some coaching and she
just wrote me like right now and said, how about I come there?
I'm like,
awesome.
You're doing it.
Hey, Marjolein, I see your hand.
Awesome.
Yeah.
So, you know, just to piggyback on what you're saying, it's, it's, I was
reminded that was me, um, I don't know, a couple of months ago.
And, um, I really didn't have a lot of productivity that I wanted that I
thought I was going to have, you know, in all of that, but, um, I heard in my
spirit, just keep showing up in the group.
You're, you know, this group.
And I was like, okay, but I, you know, everybody's talking and sometimes I
will come and then I wouldn't turn my camera on and then, you know, so just
from taking those small steps, I just want to, you know, tag onto that, just
taking those small steps and then going into the wisdom, well, we did the wisdom
challenge in January, but then going to conference and Hillary put the script,
put the quote in there about the scripture from Isaiah 54.
It was so amazing being in conference.
And I know a lot of you weren't there, so I apologize for like talking about
something that you guys are not.
We're there.
So it's fine.
I'm just kidding.
Really please.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Um, I can say so much about that, but I can definitely say what I'm
learning is just in the steps.
Right.
And so I've been writing about this to kind of, you know, I don't know, I
don't know if it's long format or short format, but it's coming, it's coming.
So all these downloads, but in conference, um, I heard my, that
scripture, Isaiah 54, my grandmother has said, um, the mother of our
church for years, she had said it and forgive me for getting choked up.
She would say, you know, lengthen your stakes.
You know, she would tell us to think big.
She would say, think big.
Um, and, uh, would she say, um, uh, uh, think big and act, do big things,
act big and do big things for God.
Right.
And I'll be like, oh my gosh.
And so I've carried, I'm finding out that all of those, um, words and
things it's for today it's for now.
And so the steps here, you know, seeing Lindsay's face, the ad and I'm
like, no, I'm not doing no more.
I'm not doing no more.
They only get me to the edge.
They don't take me no further.
I'm beyond that.
I don't want any more.
I didn't say no.
And she pops back up the next day and I'm like, okay, Holy spirit.
So this is not by chance.
I don't know who she is.
I don't know nothing about a kingdom message.
I don't even know if I got a kingdom message, but I have
this thing burning in me.
What do I do with it?
But I'm saying all that to say without giving the whole thing, but.
Honestly, I did not think about what he had gave me as a movement, that there are
people that I keep coming in contact with.
I didn't have the word movement.
I didn't have the word ministry.
All I had was to talk about what I was feeling and what the Lord was giving to
me as a reflection, as journal writings, as just a message to get over for me.
And it's like, now it's taken on this whole thing that who saw this?
I did not, but that scripture, I heard it in conference and I said, okay, it's a
movement, so I don't know what to do with it yet.
I'm, you know, I'm in the.
challenge. I've just jumped out there. I want to start a
challenge. I want to start things. I want to build things
and do things I haven't gotten there yet. But I'm taking the
steps. I'm taking the steps.
Yeah, exciting. It's good.
It's really exciting. I will say that's exciting to me because we
came thinking it was just a message. But for so many of you
for all of you, really, I do believe it's a movement. And
you're gonna be leading your movements. Hey, Marit.
Hi, everyone. Sorry, I haven't been sort of very active on
this, these zoom calls recently. But just again, same thing that
everyone talks about family stuff starts to sort of rise up
and, you know, for me, you know, father in law and cancer
diagnoses and other things, you know, having to take him to lots
of appointments and, and then, you know, both my two adult
children, and their families having issues. So, well, it
just seems like, you know, it starts to sort of snowball at
times, but, but I'm very conscious that God is doing
something and that he is inviting us to go through these
doorways. And, and that's certainly been sort of like in
my heart at the moment, this idea of pushing past. I mean, I
think Chris Vallotton talks about it, the dogs of doom that
bark loudest your doorway of your destiny. It's that space of
recognising that there are these almost forces that come against
you as you're about to go through that doorway. And some
of those things are there, because they're actually trying
to expose things that are still, you know, related to an
identity that isn't real, that you don't want to push onto the
other side, you don't want to take that former identity onto
the other side of that doorway. And, and so I might just sort of
in this space of, it's okay, if I don't create a video every
week, because while God is doing something in me, I need to sort
of listen to the Holy Spirit and take the necessary steps of
getting the pruning to happen, so that on the other side, I'm
not dragging old baggage behind with me. I don't know if that
means anything to anyone. But that's certainly the space I've
been in. And I felt for Marion today that, you know, you
mentioned all this frustration that you'd had with the sideways
stuff and whatnot. I just sort of think that's like the, you
know, the little foxes that, you know, spoil the, you know, the
vineyard, it's that, that idea of, there's these little things
that come against us, they're frustrations, they're, you know,
like an inner sort of place of, oh, this is, I've got to push,
I've got to push against this. And yet, I think sometimes in
that space, we have to sort of sit with the Holy Spirit and go,
okay, what is this strategy here? What are you trying to
teach me about staying in peace, not getting frustrated, not
losing my cool, and not going towards a spiral. For me, it's
being disappointment. So I'm actually having to be learning a
different way of, you know, when the enemy wants me to be
disappointed about something, not to go into the same spiral
that I've had in the past. And, and so I'm sort of learning to
linger in those spaces with the Holy Spirit. And anyway, that
was, I just thought I'd share it because of the stuff that we're
talking about and pushing through. My little win, I had my
very first little amount of money come into my account from
stuff, 65 cents. And I've got, thank you, Lord, I'm not going
to despise the day of new, you know, small beginnings. 65 cents
is the first bit that comes in from my website. Okay, I'll
accept it. So I'm just saying, God is good. And I am believing
for bigger things. My husband and I spent some time last week
away, and we talked about what to do. So Anne Macdonald, who
did the coaching stuff, that we had that four hour, which I
managed to get to about three hours of, so it was really good.
And I actually put my name down to get one of those half hour
talks with her over zoom. And so we had a zoom call, and almost
missed it, because I got the days wrong, because the time
zone thing. And, and she said, I really just needed to a pilot
program. And I thought, okay, yes, I'll do a pilot program. So
my husband and I've decided that we're going to do a weekend, the
Pentecost weekend as a pilot program, and I'm going to run a
four zoom in that time frame and talk a little bit about just
really settling with the Holy Spirit and hearing God's voice
for yourself. But we'll just wait and see. I have all the
ducks lined up. So I'm going to ask you guys to help me out as
we go. My landing pages right and all of those things. But
thank you.
I'll have to find it, but there is like we did some training last year on like some some challenge stuff as well
I'll have to find it's in Kingdom messenger TV somewhere
But there is kind of we broke down some of the tools and things we used to do an event like that
Which may be helpful and definitely use these balls for help like just come to us and say hey
I want to do this like what are the next steps like and we can just share that I'm sure others would love to hear
it as well
Everyone thanks for sharing that it's good to hear everyone's process and what I'm very encouraged by
It's that all of you guys are following you're being led by peace
I have peace to do I have peace to linger at peace to move in this and
all of that is an action right and all of that requires trust and so
I'm so proud of all of you guys for doing that. That's awesome. I know we're coming up on our time
Is anyone else have any more questions?
Do you want to share anything about
like the
Or not, maybe next week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, cuz we're coming up on time. Anyone else have a good teaser
But you guys want to know what we're talking about. I do want to read
This over the group. Yeah
Sorry, my Bible app is
It's good struggling today. I don't see more handset. Okay, so we'll end with this
It says Micah chapter 2 verse 13, it says the one
Capital O the one who breaks open the way will go up before them
they
Will break through the gate and go out their king capital K
Will pass through before them the Lord at their head
So I just want to encourage you guys
The Lord is going before you and he's going to pass through you and he's going to pass through you
He's going before you and he's making a way
and again
Everything rests on what it is. What is it? Who does he say he is?
Choosing to trust who he says he is his word and allowing that revelation
to break open and break out who you are in him and then allowing that revelation to
Have an external expression in the world around you and so that's that's good
I think that's like a scripture for the whole movement. Like yeah, that's your movement. Yeah, that's awesome
There's a breaking off there's and that was the word that we had for the year breaking, you know, it's breakthrough break out break in
He is going before us. He is the breaker. He's making a way we are going
We're coming up from the rear. We are going we're breaking through the gates and he is at our head. And so
expect that
expect that this week and and
Bless you guys. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. We'll be back. There's nothing happening Thursday because we have our roadmap call
Yeah, but we'll be back on Tuesday on Tuesday guys. Yeah. Yeah. Okay guys. Have a great week
Believe for big things. Yeah, I'll talk to you soon. Bye
