1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.320
So, we are on number four.

2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:12.520
It's amazing how fast the time goes of this 12-week series, based on the book by Don Luis

3
00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:16.920
Miguel, called The Four Agreements.

4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.280
And I read this book, oh gosh, a year or two ago, and I've read it a number of times, and

5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.560
then recently on a trip, I listened to it, and it's been in my heart each time I would

6
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:31.120
listen to do this from a biblical perspective.

7
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:36.800
He does it from a Toltec perspective, and there's just so much wisdom in these four

8
00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:37.800
agreements.

9
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:42.200
I believe, I was kind of mentoring, coaching a young person yesterday, and I said, these

10
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:50.840
four agreements could really keep you from 95%, if not 100% of all relationship problems.

11
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:58.040
It's a huge statement, but just getting these four agreements can completely transform the

12
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:03.960
way you do life, the way you talk to yourself, the way you look at life, the way you interact

13
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:09.440
with your children, with your significant other, with your business colleagues, just

14
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:10.440
understanding this.

15
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:18.680
And the reason is, is in what Don calls the domestication process, the way that from the

16
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.640
time we were very young, our beliefs were formed, and the way we were taught to think,

17
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:32.160
and what we've been carrying as our beliefs, we've made thousands of agreements.

18
00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:34.320
And most of them are unconscious.

19
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:37.720
You know, I had an agreement to not have any money.

20
00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:41.280
I know that sounds so funny, but when you grew up in a background where money had so

21
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.240
much dysfunction around it, I had made an agreement when I was probably seven, eight

22
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:46.240
years old.

23
00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:47.760
I didn't want anything to do with that.

24
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.320
Well, isn't it funny?

25
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:54.800
It wasn't until my late 20s that I discovered that agreement and reversed that agreement

26
00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:56.520
and was able to have money.

27
00:01:56.520 --> 00:01:59.360
Up to that point, I never, it would vanish.

28
00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:01.960
And so we've got these thousands of agreements.

29
00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:07.200
Now, to try to go through and discover and cancel thousands of agreements is a really

30
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.280
formidable task.

31
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:17.120
But the way that he has given, if we can make, if we can just make four new agreements, these

32
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.160
four agreements could cancel thousands and thousands of agreements that have been keeping

33
00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:22.160
you in bondage.

34
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:25.120
He calls it keeping you in the dream of hell.

35
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.440
He talks about having heaven on earth, which of course Jesus did too, or hell on earth,

36
00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:34.520
and we're creating that because of these agreements.

37
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.560
So I believe this is one of the more powerful studies that I've ever done.

38
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.880
I know I say that about all of them, and I get excited about all of them, and we have

39
00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:44.240
our little joke that this is the best study ever.

40
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.720
But this is so strong that I have to say it's my favorite right now.

41
00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:51.840
So let's start with prayer.

42
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:57.960
Father, I just ask that you open every one of our spiritual senses, open our eyes to

43
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:04.760
be able to see, like Paul prayed, open the eyes of our heart that we can truly see you,

44
00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:06.400
see revelation, see truth.

45
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.400
Father, just open our eyes, open our spiritual ears to be able to hear what the Spirit is

46
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.400
saying to the church.

47
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.280
Just open our spiritual senses to perceive, to feel, to touch.

48
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.840
You told us to taste and see that you're good, to smell, to use all of our spiritual senses

49
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.160
as we do our natural senses, Lord, to hear what you're saying to us and to receive what

50
00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:29.160
you're saying today.

51
00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:33.800
Holy Spirit, you promised to guide us into all truth and show us things to come, so we

52
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:38.100
just ask that you will be our teacher, ask that the words of my mouth and the meditations

53
00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:42.880
of my heart will be pleasing in your sight, and that all who are hearing, Lord, will receive

54
00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:47.640
what they need to receive for today, Father, to be the best version of who they were created

55
00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:51.800
to be, Father, to go forth and truly make a difference.

56
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:57.560
So we love you, we give this time to you, in Jesus' name, amen.

57
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:02.520
So we spent the first three weeks, we're going to spend about three weeks on each of the

58
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:03.520
agreements.

59
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:10.520
We spent the first three weeks in review, I know some of you are new, getting on today.

60
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.520
On the four agreements, we spent the first three weeks on the first of those agreements,

61
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:19.000
which is be impeccable with your word.

62
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.680
And the whole premise of this whole study, I've laid the foundation, comes from Romans

63
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:31.120
12, and it talks about not being conformed to this world or this age, all of its customs,

64
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.280
but being transformed, being changed, and it teaches you how transformation in this

65
00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:39.720
verse happens in Romans 12.

66
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:46.680
How transformation happens, it happens by the entire renewal, re, do again, new, make

67
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:52.520
new your mind, renewal of your mind by its new ideals and new attitude.

68
00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:56.640
Of course, I'm reading from the Amplified Version, which gives more depth into each

69
00:04:56.640 --> 00:04:57.920
of the words.

70
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.920
And that lets you know so you can prove.

71
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.880
What is God's will for you? What's what's the good and acceptable and perfect in

72
00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:09.240
his sight? So the key with all of this verse of this transformation is not

73
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.280
being conformed and to do that you have to understand how your beliefs are

74
00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:18.540
formed, how what you are thinking and standing on and basing your life on, how

75
00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:23.920
was it formed? And the fact is that there were people in authority, your parents,

76
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:30.960
your church, your teachers, etc. who hooked, as as Don Miguel puts it, hooked

77
00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:35.640
your attention. He calls it domestication, the same way that we domesticate a cat

78
00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:40.800
or a dog or whatever and that is they taught you what it meant to be a good

79
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.280
girl or a bad girl, what you were supposed to think, how to dream, how not

80
00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:48.760
to dream, what to believe, what not to believe and it came complete with

81
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:55.640
rewards and and punishments and not necessarily as I showed in the last few

82
00:05:55.640 --> 00:05:59.440
weeks and you're gonna want to go back and listen to these, not necessarily

83
00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:04.160
based on truth and we saw this with Jesus. It was times that he literally

84
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:09.560
said they made null and void the Word of God. In other words, they completely made

85
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:15.040
null and void the truth because of this domestication and the belief systems

86
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:21.640
that they had and so it talked about how their traditions, their own human

87
00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:28.880
regulations kept them from the truth. So these belief systems that we formed that

88
00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:35.800
become our personal traditions, become our personal agreements, literally stand

89
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.880
between us and the truth. So the first step of getting out of this, the whole

90
00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:46.880
nightmare of hell that he describes is awareness. Beginning to even realize what

91
00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:50.640
belief systems, where did you get them and you've been holding on to them and

92
00:06:50.640 --> 00:06:54.520
being willing to challenge your belief systems and say is this even based on

93
00:06:54.520 --> 00:07:02.320
truth at all? Is it even in line with God's heart or did I pick up some things

94
00:07:02.320 --> 00:07:08.280
that are far from God's will for me and I'm just defending it to no end, making

95
00:07:08.280 --> 00:07:13.440
personal misery for myself and it's not even based on truth, it's not even based

96
00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:20.600
on God's will. So you got your attention hooked but none of that mattered unless

97
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.600
you come into agreement with it. See, opinions of others or domestication or

98
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.440
any of this will have zero effect on you unless you agree with it. That's why

99
00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:36.120
scripture talks so much about the power of agreement. See, as soon as you agree

100
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.360
and you believe it, you accept it into yourself, he talks about that hook

101
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:45.480
carrying poison and you accept that poison into yourself, you believe it, then

102
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.360
it becomes yours. Now the poison is yours as well and of course the more you

103
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:56.680
believe it, it can turn into faith which is believing unconditionally and

104
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.080
Jesus talked about that whenever two people agree, I mean it changes

105
00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:05.840
everything, that's how things get done on earth and so out of this hooking, out of

106
00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:12.400
this agreement then, entered in the judge, the internal judge and this internal

107
00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:19.960
judge now began to judge everyone around us and judge ourselves around this

108
00:08:19.960 --> 00:08:26.440
poison that got put into us that may not even be in our best interest, may not be

109
00:08:26.440 --> 00:08:31.320
true, may not be serving us, probably isn't keeping us in this nightmare of

110
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:38.360
hell and this judge just goes to work and so we saw the Pharisees judging

111
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.679
Jesus because his group didn't wash his hands according to the tradition that

112
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.040
they had and that made him unclean and dirty and unworthy of sitting together

113
00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:51.600
and all of the stuff, the belief system that had been in their brain and Jesus

114
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.960
said you're just making null and void the Word of God, you're adding all of

115
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.120
these extra regulations and rules and of course that's the problem that many

116
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.800
people have religion, all of these extra burdens and rules and dos and don'ts and

117
00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:09.880
the freedom goes away and there's just an innate need in the human spirit to

118
00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:15.800
have freedom so this internal judge now begins and Romans 2.2 talks about that,

119
00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:22.720
that you begin to pass sentence on one another's and you condemn yourself. Oh I

120
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:27.200
could go on and on and on and on about the implications of this one, I'm just

121
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:33.080
even as recent as this weekend on well July 4th I began to realize the areas

122
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.280
that I was judging myself and the bondage that that keeps you in so being

123
00:09:39.280 --> 00:09:44.840
willing to release this judgment and to break some of these old agreements and

124
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:52.240
to create these new agreements and so the first agreement was being impeccable

125
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:57.200
with your word and you remember that the definition of impeccable, just going

126
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.920
through a review for those of you that weren't on these first

127
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.680
three calls impeccable, impeccable means sin, it means not sinning with our

128
00:10:06.680 --> 00:10:13.640
words and of course he talks about not using your words against yourself not

129
00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:20.480
sinning against yourself that's big to be true to what you know to be true

130
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:26.960
inside of yourself and so we went through just the power of the word and

131
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:32.880
and from the very beginning in in scripture Genesis 1 everything began

132
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:38.840
with the word God said God said let there be light and there was light and

133
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:46.200
the whole series of God spoke creation into existence and then God blessing and

134
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.880
we talked about using our word for blessing or or for curses and and we

135
00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:55.560
talked about our word helping us we're told to take dominion over our

136
00:10:55.560 --> 00:11:02.200
environment and we talked about how our word allows us anytime you want to

137
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:07.400
master a subject just master the vocabulary of that subject when I was

138
00:11:07.400 --> 00:11:11.880
homeschooling my kids I said you want to understand math mathematics learn the

139
00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:16.880
language and you'll master it you want to understand whatever it is biology

140
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:21.920
learn the language and God knew that and so the first thing and Adam taking

141
00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:26.800
dominion over his environment was to master the language and so right

142
00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:32.560
immediately upon creation God got him involved speaking and got him involved

143
00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:40.120
naming all of the living creatures that had been created and then we went

144
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:44.640
through the whole series on blessings and and curses and and the power of the

145
00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:48.120
tongue and I won't go into that that was the first three weeks but that was what

146
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:56.280
we covered and we we ended in Psalms 15 who can who can be on God's holy hill

147
00:11:56.280 --> 00:12:01.680
who can be in God's presence and it says the one who speaks and thinks the truth

148
00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:06.320
in his heart so a lot of this is about controlling our thoughts and and

149
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.640
discovering what is truth and speaking that truth and then we ended with first

150
00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:16.320
Corinthians 13 one that says if I can speak with the tongues of men and even

151
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:22.600
of angels but I have not love then I'm just a noisy gong or clanging cymbal so

152
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:27.520
love is the overriding thing that gives victory and all of this love never fails

153
00:12:27.520 --> 00:12:33.280
love conquers all and so taking our words and washing them in love and being

154
00:12:33.280 --> 00:12:37.480
sure they are impeccable and they are loving ourselves and they are loving

155
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:44.480
others so that was the first agreement be impeccable with your word today we're

156
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.720
going to launch into the second agreement which is so so so so so so big

157
00:12:48.720 --> 00:13:00.160
and it is this don't take anything personally let me say it again don't do

158
00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:07.640
not take anything whatsoever going on around you what others do what others

159
00:13:07.640 --> 00:13:16.280
say what others think don't take anything personally this is the second

160
00:13:16.280 --> 00:13:22.000
of the four agreements now to lay the foundation on this because we're going

161
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.000
to lay the foundation what does that mean to take personally and what is the

162
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.520
issue around taking it personally what is the results of that because we're we

163
00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:34.280
reason from cause to effect so when you're having an effect you look back

164
00:13:34.280 --> 00:13:38.680
what's the cause and so in this case we're going to reason from cause to

165
00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:41.800
effect what if you are taking things personally what does that look like and

166
00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:46.280
what are the results in your body what in your life in your health what are the

167
00:13:46.280 --> 00:13:51.200
effects of taking things personally and then we're going to go through some

168
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:56.840
biblical examples of people real-life stories who took things personally or

169
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.360
did not take things personally and what were the results and you can begin to

170
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.680
have a level of awareness to look at your life over these next few weeks well

171
00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:12.760
hopefully ongoing and begin to look at what it is to take things personally and

172
00:14:12.760 --> 00:14:20.680
are you doing that and are you willing to let go of that for some freedom for

173
00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:25.960
some bringing some some joy back into your life some peace back into your life

174
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:31.880
for removing these poisons these these nightmares of hell that he talks about

175
00:14:31.880 --> 00:14:38.760
so to take things personally the first thing that happens just like we talked

176
00:14:38.760 --> 00:14:44.680
about how beliefs are formed this book begins with a belief and the belief he

177
00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:52.200
calls it personal importance personal importance so taking things personally

178
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.880
is based on the belief that whatever's happening around you whatever the other

179
00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:59.720
person is saying or doing or whatever that it's about you

180
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.000
You ever heard the saying, it's not about me?

181
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:09.240
I think that whole saying originated in this, it's not about me.

182
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:14.400
It originated in stop taking things personally and thinking that everything is about you.

183
00:15:14.400 --> 00:15:22.840
So to quote him in the book, The Four Agreements, under the chapter on taking things personally,

184
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:33.160
he says, personal importance or taking things personally is the maximum expression of selfishness.

185
00:15:33.160 --> 00:15:34.600
Interesting.

186
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:38.760
So this taking things personally, he equates with selfishness.

187
00:15:38.760 --> 00:15:43.000
Because we make the assumption that everything is about me.

188
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:51.600
And then he clarifies that, he says, nothing other people do is because of you.

189
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.400
Let that soak in for something, for a minute.

190
00:15:54.400 --> 00:15:59.360
Nothing other people do is because of you.

191
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.480
It is because of themselves.

192
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:10.840
And this is what he says, all people live their own dream in their own mind.

193
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:15.880
They are completely different world than the one we live in.

194
00:16:15.880 --> 00:16:20.680
So when we take something personally, he goes on to say, we make the assumption, which by

195
00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:23.560
the way is coming up about not making assumptions.

196
00:16:23.560 --> 00:16:29.440
We make the assumption that they know or understand what's in our world.

197
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:35.000
And we try to impose our world on their world.

198
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:40.840
So this idea of taking it personally is this idea that somehow they're in your head.

199
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.800
And that they understand your world, they understand your personal movie, your personal

200
00:16:44.800 --> 00:16:47.560
book, your personal story that you're writing.

201
00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:52.400
They're assuming that they understand, they know it even, that they're even aware of it.

202
00:16:52.400 --> 00:16:53.480
And that they're in it.

203
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.720
And that they are basing what they do on your story.

204
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:01.280
And that is just simply an untruth, it's not based on truth.

205
00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:05.760
So this whole thing begins with this personal importance of believing that it's all about

206
00:17:05.760 --> 00:17:08.079
me, what they're doing.

207
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.560
The next thing that happens is you take offense.

208
00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:15.720
You come into agreement with it and you take offense.

209
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:20.800
So when I looked at, okay, what does the Bible have to say?

210
00:17:20.800 --> 00:17:25.280
What does scripture have to say about taking things personally?

211
00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:31.360
The scripture kind of puts it in the context of taking offense.

212
00:17:31.360 --> 00:17:34.120
And there's a lot in scripture about taking offense.

213
00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:39.360
And so this idea of taking something personally or taking offense are very interrelated.

214
00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:43.640
So if you're looking to do a word search, if you want to study scripture and go deeper

215
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.720
on this, you could begin to study about taking offense and the results.

216
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.960
It's the same thing as he uses taking things personally.

217
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:59.080
He goes on and he says, when you take things personally, then you feel offended.

218
00:17:59.080 --> 00:18:06.000
And your reaction is to defend your beliefs and create conflicts.

219
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.160
Let me say that again, because I know some of you are still jumping on the line here.

220
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:15.320
When you take things personally, and we're in the second, all of you that jumped in a

221
00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:20.480
little late on this, we're in the second of the four agreements about don't take things

222
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.320
personally.

223
00:18:22.320 --> 00:18:26.800
And so we're addressing this both from his book, his Toltec perspective, and looking

224
00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:30.160
at a Judeo-Christian model, looking at it from scripture.

225
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.760
And scripture links this with taking offense.

226
00:18:33.760 --> 00:18:39.260
And so Don Miguel Rees in the book, The Four Agreements, goes on to say, when you take

227
00:18:39.260 --> 00:18:44.220
things personally, then you feel offended.

228
00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:46.900
See you begin with a thought, remember how things happen.

229
00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:50.900
You begin with a thought, and this is about me, that's the thought.

230
00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:51.940
Then you add a feeling.

231
00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:54.700
In this case, the feeling is offended.

232
00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:56.380
And that's going to produce a reaction.

233
00:18:56.380 --> 00:19:04.260
And he says, and your reaction then is to defend your beliefs, defend your movie, defend

234
00:19:04.260 --> 00:19:09.100
your story, and create conflict.

235
00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:12.220
You want to see the origin of conflict.

236
00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:17.180
It's when I have one movie, you have one movie, I expect you to understand my movie, I take

237
00:19:17.180 --> 00:19:21.460
offense that you don't understand my movie, now I got to defend my movie, I got to try

238
00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:26.340
to get you to believe like I believe, and now we've got conflict.

239
00:19:26.340 --> 00:19:29.800
So he says, when you take things personally, then you feel offended, and your reaction

240
00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:34.820
is to defend your beliefs and create conflict.

241
00:19:34.820 --> 00:19:40.300
So you make something big out of something so little, because you have a need to be right

242
00:19:40.300 --> 00:19:41.940
and make everyone else wrong.

243
00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:46.220
Your story is the true story in your mind.

244
00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:52.460
And so you try hard to be right by giving them your own opinions.

245
00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:58.660
And in the same way, whatever you feel and do, it's just a projection of your personal

246
00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:00.060
dream, a reflection of you.

247
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.320
own agreements. And so he begins to explain that when someone says something

248
00:20:05.320 --> 00:20:09.200
to him and he uses the example let's say that you just walking down the street

249
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:17.760
someone looks at you and says you are so fat. Now you can take that poison in and

250
00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:23.320
you can to begin to agree and you can let that soak into you and say wow how

251
00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:26.880
does he know man I must look really bad I shouldn't have left the house I bet

252
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:31.200
it's these clothes I'm wearing it really shows how fat I really am etc. etc. etc.

253
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:35.960
Teenage girls go through this all the time I mean adult women go through it

254
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:39.520
too but you know you begin to see how this poison comes in as you take it

255
00:20:39.520 --> 00:20:44.400
personally you make it your belief system and etc. etc. But he talks about a

256
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:49.560
different way and he says I know he does you don't have to come in agreement with

257
00:20:49.560 --> 00:20:54.680
it and you can realize that's their opinion nothing more it's simply their

258
00:20:54.680 --> 00:21:01.280
opinion period and he says I know that you see the world with different eyes

259
00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:09.160
with your eyes and you create an entire picture or movie in your mind and in

260
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:14.720
that picture you are the director you are the producer you are the main actor

261
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:21.320
or actress everyone else is secondary actor or actress it's your movie and the

262
00:21:21.320 --> 00:21:29.120
way you see that movie is according to the agreements that you have made in

263
00:21:29.120 --> 00:21:35.760
your life. See how powerful that is the first thing is just to begin to have an

264
00:21:35.760 --> 00:21:41.320
awareness first of all and it takes a level of maturity but to have an

265
00:21:41.320 --> 00:21:46.480
awareness that everybody's different everybody has their own agreements their

266
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:49.980
own movie their own story that they're writing their own story that they're

267
00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:54.460
creating their own story that they're living and it really has nothing to do

268
00:21:54.460 --> 00:22:00.500
with you and your story this will be the first step in you getting victory to

269
00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:06.140
get to get freedom to not have everyone's opinion and everyone's burden

270
00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:09.900
I want to just do a real quick sound check can you all hear me because I'm

271
00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:13.820
hearing lots of pings getting on and off just give me a quick someone let me know

272
00:22:13.900 --> 00:22:22.620
you can hear me okay okay thank you so okay all right perfect we just had some

273
00:22:22.620 --> 00:22:29.180
people getting on and off okay so let's look at some examples of what this

274
00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:36.940
looks like to take some of these things personally or to let them go and

275
00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:42.860
and really you know this kind of combines two things the the power of the

276
00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:49.860
spoken word and then the power of agreement to receive that spoken word

277
00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:55.060
make it your own let that hook that poison get into you and then begin to

278
00:22:55.060 --> 00:23:02.780
form a whole new reality around it that could be taking offense that could be

279
00:23:02.780 --> 00:23:08.940
causing a tremendous amount of turmoil inside of yourself around it and

280
00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:15.340
beginning to realize that you have choice you have choices when people give

281
00:23:15.340 --> 00:23:21.500
you their opinions and everything is just that I mean one of the most

282
00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:25.820
beautiful people I've seen model this is she's been such an influence in my life

283
00:23:25.820 --> 00:23:31.460
over the last couple decades is dr. Arlene Taylor and she'll begin her own

284
00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:36.100
statements she's very clear on it she'll always say whatever she says she'll say

285
00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:41.500
in my brains opinion blah blah blah blah blah so she's so clear that what she's

286
00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:45.540
speaking is not necessarily you know truth we like to think whatever we're

287
00:23:45.540 --> 00:23:50.180
speaking is truth no it's our opinion okay it may not be based on truth as we

288
00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:55.060
saw all the interactions with Jesus and the Pharisees and so she'll begin it's

289
00:23:55.060 --> 00:23:59.860
my brains opinion or when people say stuff to her and they come at her she'll

290
00:23:59.860 --> 00:24:04.420
say yeah I appreciate that that's your brains opinion and so having the freedom

291
00:24:04.420 --> 00:24:10.380
first of all to realize that everything being spoken by the word does not need

292
00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:14.540
to have the power that we give it of accepting it into our life coming into

293
00:24:14.540 --> 00:24:19.700
agreement taking offense doing over it you know allowing it to shape us

294
00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:26.340
sometimes for for life you know Don Miguel in this book he does the story he

295
00:24:26.340 --> 00:24:31.180
tells the story of a woman that had a really really rough day at work or at

296
00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:36.460
home or whatever but she had a rough rough day and her little cute little

297
00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:42.220
girl wasn't part of that rough day and her little girl was just singing at the

298
00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:48.620
top of her lungs just having a good time just singing happy in her own little

299
00:24:48.620 --> 00:24:53.860
world and the mother had a splitting headache and when she couldn't take it

300
00:24:53.860 --> 00:25:01.860
anymore she said will you just shut up you have an ugly

301
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.880
voice just shut up. Well do you know that little girl took that hook of poison that

302
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.040
was not based on truth, she didn't have an ugly voice, the mom had a headache and had

303
00:25:12.040 --> 00:25:19.760
zero resistance to any noise, took it personally, received it, built a belief system and would

304
00:25:19.760 --> 00:25:25.160
never sing again. Now I'm kind of conscious of that myself because you won't see me singing

305
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:31.520
loud in front of people because I've had that said about me and it shapes you forever.

306
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:36.120
You believe it and you no longer want to open your mouth in front of someone. It can begin

307
00:25:36.120 --> 00:25:40.480
just in joking. When I taught in Korea for a couple of years, they actually have a name

308
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:46.320
for someone that's tone deaf, they call it umchi and they would joke and call me umchi

309
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:52.000
and from that point on as I was umchi, you're not going to see me. Leave me alone, no one's

310
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.760
around, I'll sing my heart out, I love to sing. Someone walk in the room and I'll just

311
00:25:56.760 --> 00:26:03.240
be mouth and the words. See this stuff we carry with it long, long. I heard a very powerful

312
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:10.760
story in the women's networking that Stephanie shared with her group and I was like wow,

313
00:26:10.760 --> 00:26:17.680
the power of this stuff. When she was a little girl, she was a little bubbly, dynamic, outgoing

314
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:23.200
little girl and she would talk, talk, talk, talk, talk and relatives would pay her to

315
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:30.440
keep quiet and do you know, she had the hardest time to ever stand in front of a group. She's

316
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:38.040
a dynamic public speaker now, she's overcome that. She started a women's networking group,

317
00:26:38.040 --> 00:26:43.240
the tapestry, you know, but it's so funny how, you know, 30 years later, we're still

318
00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:48.440
buying into those agreements, they're shaping us. So the power of the word and then the

319
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:54.800
power of allowing others opinions that are not necessarily based on truth in and hooking

320
00:26:54.800 --> 00:27:04.980
us and we live by that. That's why Katie Byron in her book, Loving What Is, the first question

321
00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:11.920
you begin to ask yourself about these beliefs is, is it true? You know, you're so fat, just

322
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.640
stop for a second and go, is it true? Is it really true? And then secondly, you know,

323
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:22.800
is this even serving me? We're holding on to belief systems with all our might, we're

324
00:27:22.800 --> 00:27:27.360
defending them, we're speaking them, we're living them and all this stuff and they're

325
00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:33.400
not true and they're not even serving us. And she asked the question, what would happen

326
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:38.160
if you no longer held on to that belief that's no longer serving you? What would happen if

327
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:44.400
you just let go of that belief? Well, chances are a whole lot of pain and stuff you've been

328
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:50.000
carrying around and heaviness, chances are by letting go of that, you'd enter into a

329
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:55.480
new level of freedom. So before I want to give a bunch of examples from scripture, but

330
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.080
before I do that, I want to open up the lines for a few minutes. I've been talking a long

331
00:27:59.080 --> 00:28:04.520
time. I'd love to hear from you. Tell me what, what aha you got from this, what question

332
00:28:04.560 --> 00:28:09.400
you got, what, what jumped out. This is a time to kind of come in and give me your feedback

333
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:14.400
on some of this. What's, what's jumping out for you?

334
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:24.400
Good morning. For me, what's jumping out is, I've always heard the term, once you're ascended,

335
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:32.400
you become ascended. Ooh, that's good. Say that, say that again, LaTanya, just so we

336
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:45.000
get it. That was good. Once you become offended, you become offensive. That's awesome. I've

337
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:56.000
never heard that. Thank you. I've never heard that. Oh, okay. You sound just like LaTanya.

338
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.800
Thank you. Okay. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you clarifying that. See, see the

339
00:29:00.800 --> 00:29:07.800
problem with assumptions. I just made one. You guys sound alike. Okay. Thank you. Thank

340
00:29:07.800 --> 00:29:17.800
you. You guys are quick students. I tell you, I tell you, I can see why you're LaTanya's

341
00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:24.800
friend. I picked that up right there. Love it. Love it. Good. I look forward to, to meeting

342
00:29:25.800 --> 00:29:30.800
you. Have I met you? No, you haven't met me yet. Okay. I look forward to getting to know

343
00:29:30.800 --> 00:29:35.800
you. And you said your name's Audrey? Audrey. Audrey Williams. Audrey. Well, thank you.

344
00:29:35.800 --> 00:29:38.800
Thanks for joining the call and thanks for jumping in and sharing that. That's, that's

345
00:29:38.800 --> 00:29:45.800
really powerful. Anyone else? Just ahas that... Before you move on, hold on one second. Yep.

346
00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:50.800
Yep. When I was just saying, I've heard that statement before and I've said it to lots

347
00:29:50.800 --> 00:29:56.800
of people. However, today I'm having an aha moment from what you're sharing and you're

348
00:29:56.800 --> 00:29:59.800
just in a situation that everything is...

349
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.080
talking about relates to for me and I'm realizing, though I've said that statement many times,

350
00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:12.720
that I'm in a position where I'm taking some things personally and it's really valid what

351
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:20.480
you said. I think everybody should think like me. So because of that, I really like this hotel

352
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:24.800
tour this morning because it's actually allowing me to apply what they're saying to me and not

353
00:30:24.800 --> 00:30:29.200
just make that statement. I've been saying it for years and to be able to go back, I actually need

354
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.600
to go back and apologize to a group that I'm in because I've been taking things personally,

355
00:30:33.600 --> 00:30:41.360
but thank you very much. Thank you for sharing that and I'll tell you that I've caught myself

356
00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:46.480
doing this so much and when we start, like this is going to build line upon line upon line. It

357
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:51.600
all builds on each other because the first one being the power of your word or understanding

358
00:30:51.600 --> 00:30:57.920
the power of b word period and then secondly taking it personally and when we tie it in a

359
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:03.280
few weeks about making assumptions because a lot of times what we take personally is because we

360
00:31:03.280 --> 00:31:09.920
assume that what they did had a whole different meaning and I'm telling you I've gotten

361
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:15.600
called on this and since I've got this level of awareness, I've seen the assumption I've made that

362
00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:22.160
were so far from what the other person was thinking or the intention of what other people

363
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.720
were thinking. I took it personally, thought they were made the assumption they were thinking

364
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:33.520
something else and hey I need you guys to push mute if you're not talking just because I'm

365
00:31:33.520 --> 00:31:40.560
getting some feedback here, but I took it personally and it was based on an assumption

366
00:31:40.560 --> 00:31:47.280
that what they did was even had anything remotely to do with me. It had nothing, they were like

367
00:31:47.280 --> 00:31:52.720
thinking something totally different. It never even crossed their mind and so when you bring

368
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.280
all these things together you begin to understand where human drama comes from, where conflict comes

369
00:31:57.280 --> 00:32:03.760
from, where all the stuff that we stew over and makes us not sleep at night and you know puts

370
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:08.880
all those negative you know neuropeptides flowing through our system and it's not even based on

371
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:14.640
truth, it's not even serving us, it's crazy. So thank you for sharing that. Anyone else?

372
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.320
What ahas are you having?

373
00:32:19.760 --> 00:32:25.600
Brenda, this is Jennifer. I think what's interesting is that it doesn't have to necessarily be spoken

374
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:32.000
but you can take on little steps and never tell anyone. You know, our clients they really do build

375
00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:39.360
into something that can be, you know, bigger than the original thing. If you had just taken the time

376
00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:46.800
to clarify or to learn what people's true intent was, it would not have been such a big deal.

377
00:32:46.800 --> 00:32:52.640
So there's, you know, you see a lot of internal conflict, especially on the website too, because we have no idea

378
00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:58.480
and we've taken on all these personal little offenses that we don't even recognize are building.

379
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:04.960
So I thought that was pretty interesting. Yeah and that's so good and you know it doesn't

380
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:11.600
even have to have any exchange at words. Someone could be thinking something intense happening in

381
00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:17.280
their own life. They might be looking at you, they might be looking right through you, it might appear

382
00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:22.800
that they're giving you a certain look and in fact their mind's not even thinking about you. You're

383
00:33:22.800 --> 00:33:28.400
not even in the equation, which is like true nine times out of ten, you're not even in the equation

384
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:33.280
and then you can take that whole thing and look at the way she's looking at me.

385
00:33:33.280 --> 00:33:39.200
Who does she think she is to just judge me and look at me that way? Yada yada, you get, you form

386
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:46.480
your whole, like you make a movie, a whole story, you write a book and they were thinking something

387
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:53.040
totally different or you know I talked about that internal judgment and you know there's a song,

388
00:33:54.080 --> 00:34:00.800
I think it's a song that's coming into my mind right now, about a woman being on the track.

389
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:10.480
Okay I thought I heard someone say something. Just go ahead and mute your phone if you don't

390
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:16.239
have a comment. Just go ahead and mute star six or hit your mute button because this gets on

391
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:23.440
the recorder. So there's this song where the woman is on the train and her kids are

392
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:29.600
are unruly and the other people are busy making judgment and why can't she control her kids and

393
00:34:29.600 --> 00:34:34.960
what a lousy mother she is and blah blah blah. All this stuff goes on right, this internal talk

394
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:40.880
and then she finally speaks up and says please forgive my children, their daddy died last night

395
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:47.280
and so wow doesn't that just suddenly getting a moment of truth change everything

396
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:54.480
and doesn't it maybe activate love and compassion in us when we can get enough out of ourselves

397
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:58.800
that we're irritated by the kids running around, get enough out of our judgment of how we think

398
00:34:58.800 --> 00:34:59.920
kids should be or whatever.

399
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.840
and get enough into I wonder what that woman's going through with those little

400
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:08.760
children and so all of this offense judgment you know all of this stuff

401
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:13.840
ties together and it is what what he talks about what keeps the nightmare of

402
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:19.080
hell on earth earth would be heaven on earth if we got rid of this stuff and it

403
00:35:19.080 --> 00:35:24.520
simply is by having a level of awareness to even begin to think about what you're

404
00:35:24.520 --> 00:35:29.680
thinking about and to really begin to realize the assumptions that we're

405
00:35:29.680 --> 00:35:33.360
making and the things we're taking personally I'm telling you it's changed

406
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:38.920
my relationships I'm learning to ask questions I'm as I'm learning to say hey

407
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:43.960
this is what I'm feeling or this is what I'm perceiving is this true even is this

408
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:48.760
what you meant and that simple thing just changes everything they'll be like

409
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:54.320
heck no that never even crossed my mind you know and so it can it can create

410
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:59.600
so much freedom in relationships it can bring a level of maturity to

411
00:35:59.600 --> 00:36:05.520
relationships and if we can teach our kids this young Wow how how much it

412
00:36:05.520 --> 00:36:10.800
could change and I and I wonder all the conflict from from marital conflict to

413
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:16.200
worldwide conflict I think all of it could be eliminated 95 99 a hundred

414
00:36:16.200 --> 00:36:20.560
percent could be eliminated by this whole idea of realizing everybody just

415
00:36:20.560 --> 00:36:24.360
has their own movie their own opinions and we don't have to take personally

416
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:29.600
what that is anybody else before I go into some examples from scripture any

417
00:36:29.600 --> 00:36:33.560
aha's I'm loving hearing from you guys

418
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:42.680
any other things that are just really jumping out at you on this idea of not

419
00:36:42.720 --> 00:37:03.280
taking things personally yeah I hear you can you hear me can you all hear me can

420
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:08.200
someone give me a sound check and let me know you can hear me okay all right okay

421
00:37:08.200 --> 00:37:11.760
thank you I'm gonna keep going let's look at some examples of taking things

422
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:15.600
personally not taking things personally passing this judgment writing our movie

423
00:37:15.600 --> 00:37:24.840
turn to Luke chapter 10 Luke chapter 10 Luke chapter 10 and let's look at verses

424
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:30.360
38 through 40 it's a classic story many of you have probably read it about Mary

425
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:35.320
and Martha but it's just a great example of how we can get our little opinions in

426
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:40.520
the way here and so Luke chapter 10 and if you're new to this study just bring

427
00:37:40.520 --> 00:37:46.440
your Bible or have it out uploaded you version is nice on your phones or your

428
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:51.080
computer you version because you can just type it in and it'll pop right up

429
00:37:51.080 --> 00:37:57.200
and you can pick what version you want I usually read from the Amplified because

430
00:37:57.200 --> 00:38:05.760
it's rich in defining the language so Luke chapter 10 verse 38 says now while

431
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:10.120
they were on their way it occurred that Jesus entered a certain village and a

432
00:38:10.120 --> 00:38:16.040
woman named Martha received and welcomed him into her house so Jesus is

433
00:38:16.040 --> 00:38:22.200
coming into Martha's house and and there's two sisters that's Martha and

434
00:38:22.200 --> 00:38:27.440
this other sister is Mary and so in verse 39 it says and she had a sister

435
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:33.640
named Mary who seated herself at the Lord's feet and was listening to his

436
00:38:33.640 --> 00:38:40.840
teaching so Mary is just going to just soak she's sitting at his feet he's a

437
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:44.880
rabbi he's a teacher he's a master she wants to get every word she wants to

438
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:49.760
capture it all so she's just gonna sit quietly at his feet and just listen as

439
00:38:49.760 --> 00:39:00.040
he speaks well Martha that irritated so Martha in verse 40 it says interesting

440
00:39:00.040 --> 00:39:06.440
in the Amplified version it says but Martha overly occupied and too busy I

441
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:10.680
don't know if that fits any of your description but overly occupied and too

442
00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:18.680
busy was distracted with much serving so she's serving the people at her house

443
00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:23.120
they've come into her home she's busy trying to have hospitality but she's so

444
00:39:23.120 --> 00:39:28.320
distracted with that excuse me it says that she's overly occupied and too busy

445
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:34.800
and now the story the opinion starts going in her head and she's looking at

446
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:39.200
Mary who is sitting at Jesus feet soaking and she should have been

447
00:39:39.200 --> 00:39:42.800
rejoicing that her sister was getting all this truth and sitting with the

448
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:48.960
master instead the story in her head is taking it personally why the heck is

449
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:54.320
Mary not helping me and why am I having to do this all by our myself and why is

450
00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:01.760
she so what's the word not caring insensitive right

451
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.880
Needs why is she so selfish? Do you see how you can just start going down this road, right? And

452
00:40:05.620 --> 00:40:13.380
So we see that that's what was going on in Martha's little agreement and dream because Martha comes up to Jesus in verse

453
00:40:13.380 --> 00:40:17.280
40 and says Lord, is it nothing to you?

454
00:40:17.600 --> 00:40:23.100
Okay, so she's gonna get him involved in her drama because isn't that what happens when we take something personally?

455
00:40:23.100 --> 00:40:29.960
It's not enough for us to take offense. Usually offense needs friends. That's where all gossip starts

456
00:40:30.160 --> 00:40:36.200
That's where all of this division starts because you got to get your belief system out

457
00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:42.140
You got to get other people to agree with your belief system. You got to make yourself feel right about your belief system

458
00:40:42.140 --> 00:40:48.100
So she's gonna try to rope Jesus into this whole drama. And so she begins with Lord. Is it nothing to you?

459
00:40:48.740 --> 00:40:53.880
Are you not paying attention here? Do you not see what's going on? I want to rope you into my drama

460
00:40:55.380 --> 00:40:57.380
Jesus is there teaching

461
00:40:57.720 --> 00:41:04.480
Truth of the highest level infinite wisdom is being released in that room right now

462
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:10.800
infinite wisdom that had the power to transform and change their life forever is being

463
00:41:11.640 --> 00:41:13.640
released right there and

464
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:21.920
It's being interrupted by this craziness right here. And she says is it nothing to you that my sister has left me?

465
00:41:22.860 --> 00:41:29.760
There's an assumption that Mary left my sister has left me to serve alone

466
00:41:30.340 --> 00:41:36.180
Woe is me here comes the drama. Here comes the martyr. How many of you know a martyr?

467
00:41:36.180 --> 00:41:42.100
Woe is me here. I am doing this and doing that. No one appreciates me. No one's helping

468
00:41:42.100 --> 00:41:47.820
I just have to do this by myself. Any of you know a few of these people. Are you one of these people?

469
00:41:48.520 --> 00:41:56.060
Don't you know my sister's left me alone and then wants to get him involved in the drama tell her then

470
00:41:56.360 --> 00:42:00.080
To help me to lend me a hand and do her part

471
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:03.120
So she has her own little

472
00:42:03.900 --> 00:42:10.280
Assumptions here her own little personal drama and she tries to rope Jesus in well, Jesus is not going to get involved

473
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:12.280
He's not going to take this personally

474
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:19.800
He's gonna honor who they both are in verse 41. The Lord replies to her by saying Martha

475
00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:24.740
Martha and he gets to the heart of it. He says you are

476
00:42:25.820 --> 00:42:27.340
anxious and

477
00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:29.340
troubled about many things

478
00:42:29.780 --> 00:42:33.500
Now I want to ask you this is basically saying you got anxiety, baby

479
00:42:34.180 --> 00:42:40.740
I'm gonna ask you where did that anxiety come from? Where did that low frequency emotion?

480
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:44.080
That's releasing neuropeptides to every cell in her body

481
00:42:45.540 --> 00:42:47.540
Where did that come from?

482
00:42:47.700 --> 00:42:51.720
Came from this whole belief system. It came from taking all this personally

483
00:42:51.720 --> 00:42:55.840
It led the end result of taking it personally was anxiety

484
00:42:56.940 --> 00:43:03.600
Martha Martha, you're anxious. You're troubled about many things and now he speaks the truth here comes infinite wisdom

485
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:06.480
He said there's need of

486
00:43:07.140 --> 00:43:13.380
Only one. Oh, it says you are anxious and troubled about many things your head is spinning out of control

487
00:43:13.380 --> 00:43:16.220
Basically saying you're anxious and troubled about many things

488
00:43:16.980 --> 00:43:20.300
Verse 42. He says there's need of only one

489
00:43:21.140 --> 00:43:23.300
or but a few things

490
00:43:24.140 --> 00:43:25.340
Mary

491
00:43:25.340 --> 00:43:29.280
Has chosen the good portion and it's not going to be taken away from her

492
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.820
So he's not going to get involved in the drama. He's not going to come into agreement

493
00:43:33.740 --> 00:43:35.740
he's not going to

494
00:43:36.080 --> 00:43:40.040
You know do this whole deal he's gonna let them both just be

495
00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:46.080
He's gonna understand that Martha's gonna have to work through her anxieties. He's gonna call her awareness to it

496
00:43:46.080 --> 00:43:51.080
So hopefully she can begin to aware of what what she's doing and he's gonna let Mary

497
00:43:51.680 --> 00:43:58.280
Just be who Mary is. She was a worshiper. She was a lover. She needed to be still

498
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:02.000
Now we'll see this example again in

499
00:44:02.660 --> 00:44:09.500
Matthew 26 if you go to Matthew, that's the first book of the New Testament Matthew 26 and

500
00:44:10.900 --> 00:44:17.140
You'll see another example of this taking offense of putting our opinions on other people our

501
00:44:17.460 --> 00:44:24.340
Internal judgment as to what people should do what they think why they should think like we think here you see it again

502
00:44:24.700 --> 00:44:29.740
Isn't it cool that scripture is just like so real and the people are so real and by the way

503
00:44:29.740 --> 00:44:32.960
I thought about this the other day when I was just kind of meditating a

504
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:37.040
Different way to study scripture. You may have studied many different ways

505
00:44:37.040 --> 00:44:40.720
You may have studied by words or topics or Bible studies or whatever

506
00:44:40.720 --> 00:44:45.640
But one way is to take every single person in scripture and assume that it's you

507
00:44:46.240 --> 00:44:50.160
Because you are in that story in every single person

508
00:44:50.600 --> 00:44:56.460
You are Moses. You are Mary. You are Abraham. You are Job. You are all of these people

509
00:44:56.460 --> 00:44:59.420
So I've always said that scripture has a bunch of layers

510
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.000
And one of the layers, it's got, you know, wisdom and truth principles, but it's got all these metaphors.

511
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:14.000
Each of these people, besides being historical fact, are also very metaphorical of who you are.

512
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.000
See yourself in each of these characters. So you are Mary.

513
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.000
There's times that you just love to sit and soak and embrace those times.

514
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:24.000
You are Martha. There are times when you're troubled about way too many things,

515
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:27.000
none of them based on truth and none of them God's will for you.

516
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.000
So begin to see yourself in all of these people.

517
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:33.000
And so here is another example.

518
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:38.000
And so if you're there, Matthew 26, say Amen.

519
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:42.000
And I know you're on the same page here.

520
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:49.000
Matthew 26, if you're there, say Amen.

521
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.000
Nobody's there?

522
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.000
Stay with me, guys.

523
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:01.000
Okay. All right. So Matthew 26, beginning on verse 6, it says,

524
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:06.000
Jesus comes back to Bethany, and now he's in the house of Simon the leper.

525
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:16.000
And verse 7, a woman comes up to him with an alabaster flask with very precious perfume.

526
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:23.000
Here's your essential oils, by the way, that are always used in everything from anointing to spiritual to healing.

527
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:26.000
And so here you're going to see you've got a flask of essential oils.

528
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:31.000
She was carrying the prosper of that time, her little alabaster flask.

529
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:37.000
And she pours it on his head as he's sitting there reclining at the table.

530
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.000
They would eat kind of laying on their side, reclining.

531
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:41.000
You've seen it in movies maybe.

532
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:46.000
And she comes up and she takes her very expensive essential oil perfume,

533
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:51.000
and she pours it on his head as an act of love and worship and devotion.

534
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:57.000
Well, the disciples saw it, and they're not so excited about her act of love and devotion.

535
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:02.000
Here we see it. Here comes this whole idea of taking it personally.

536
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.000
In verse 8, it says they were indignant.

537
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:08.000
They were angry. They were frustrated.

538
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:10.000
The internal judge kicked in.

539
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.000
They had their own story of what should have happened with that perfume.

540
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:22.000
They were indignant saying, for what purpose is all this waste?

541
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.000
Do you see the two opinions right there?

542
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:30.000
The woman is giving her highest gift.

543
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:33.000
She's responding out of love.

544
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:39.000
She's pouring her very finest on the master, on her savior.

545
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:43.000
It's the ultimate act of devotion in her mind.

546
00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:49.000
The disciple taking it personally, and some think the one who spoke this was Judas,

547
00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:51.000
because you'll see the rest of the story.

548
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:56.000
He had other things on his mind, and his story, his agreement, were indignant.

549
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.000
And for them, it's waste.

550
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:02.000
So for one, it's love. For another, it's waste.

551
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.000
Do you see how the conflict comes in?

552
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:09.000
Now his story, this disciple, let's assume it's Judas.

553
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:16.000
His story says this perfume could have been sold for a large amount of money,

554
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:18.000
and the money given to the poor.

555
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:21.000
His brain's opinion is, take that.

556
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:25.000
Instead of wasting it, pouring it over Jesus' head, sell it.

557
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:28.000
Let's give the money and take care of the poor.

558
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.000
Do you see how this begins, these stories?

559
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.000
Now we've got issues, and offense is taken.

560
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.000
He's indignant, so he's taking offense.

561
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:43.000
And Jesus, because he's always fully conscious, he's very present,

562
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:49.000
he's operating in a very high level of awareness that he would like us to operate in.

563
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:54.000
Jesus, fully aware, fully conscious, fully present, says to them,

564
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:56.000
why do you bother the woman?

565
00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:59.000
Why are you taking this personally?

566
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.000
This is not about you.

567
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.000
This was an intimate act between she and I.

568
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.000
It had nothing to do with you.

569
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:12.000
Your name was not in this story at all.

570
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:15.000
Why do you bother the woman?

571
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.000
Now he brings it to a whole different perspective.

572
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:20.000
She's done a noble.

573
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:26.000
The Amplified says a praiseworthy, a beautiful thing to me.

574
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:29.000
So Jesus sees it for what it is because he always sees the heart.

575
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:31.000
He always goes to the heart issue.

576
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:33.000
He saw the love at the bottom of it.

577
00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:38.000
He said she does a praiseworthy, beautiful thing, a noble thing.

578
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:42.000
So while one's busy taking offense and calling it waste,

579
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:44.000
do you see how brain's opinions are so different?

580
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:46.000
Are you seeing this played out?

581
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:50.000
And he says, you always have the poor among you, but you're not always going to have me.

582
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:55.000
In verse 12, in pouring this perfume on my body,

583
00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:58.000
she's done something to prepare me for my burial.

584
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.000
She was actually anointing me.

585
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.520
him whether she realized it or not it was part of the anointing process

586
00:50:05.520 --> 00:50:11.600
preparing for her burial and you know what verse 13 it says I tell you

587
00:50:11.600 --> 00:50:16.640
whenever this Gospels preached in the whole world what this woman has done

588
00:50:16.640 --> 00:50:21.560
will be told also in memory of her she just did a legacy she just created a

589
00:50:21.560 --> 00:50:26.160
legacy that would be spoken through all people all generations throughout the

590
00:50:26.160 --> 00:50:31.320
world it was such a beautiful act of love such a noble deed that we're still

591
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:36.080
talking about it right here right now the one that someone else was taking

592
00:50:36.080 --> 00:50:41.080
offense and judging and getting all ruffled up and getting their feathers

593
00:50:41.080 --> 00:50:46.640
all ruffled their toga and a knot and it's gonna go down as a legacy forever

594
00:50:46.640 --> 00:50:55.160
what a contrast between two brains opinions do you see this contrast let me

595
00:50:55.160 --> 00:50:58.920
pause for a second let you kind of reflect on that and check in anyone

596
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:01.920
want to share what this story what jumped out at you

597
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:12.280
anyone want to want to step in for a second any ahas

598
00:51:25.160 --> 00:51:45.720
yeah yep we just can't assume that we understand someone else's story or that

599
00:51:45.720 --> 00:51:51.960
they understand ours and that will be the first step in freedom the freedom to

600
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:57.040
allow yourself to be and to begin to have the awareness to look and see what's

601
00:51:57.040 --> 00:52:00.520
serving you and what's not serving you and what you need to let go this is the

602
00:52:00.520 --> 00:52:06.320
first step of awareness you know I've shared the steps of transformation and

603
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:09.320
we start you know first with

604
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:17.800
I think I'm disconnected are you all with me I think I'm disconnected

605
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:47.800
ok I'm back I think the call got dropped I'm back I'm back can you hear me now

606
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:50.800
can you hear me

607
00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:57.480
ok perfect call got dropped I guess I'm where was I what was the last thing I

608
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.480
said here

609
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:09.400
ok good we can't assume that we that we understand their story or they

610
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:15.160
understand ours and this is this is tremendous amount of freedom let me tell

611
00:53:15.160 --> 00:53:20.240
you the freedom this is all about being renewed what I began this whole thing

612
00:53:20.240 --> 00:53:25.400
being renewed by by being transformed by the renewing of your mind being

613
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:29.760
transformed by the renewing of your mind and this is the renewing this is the

614
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:36.480
making new your mind and so the making new of your mind is willing to look at

615
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:40.520
have awareness and look at every belief every opinion that you're holding on to

616
00:53:40.520 --> 00:53:45.880
and make some decisions about if they're true and if they're serving you and

617
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:50.440
having the freedom and the willingness to release them and if they are true for

618
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:54.960
you and they are connected with who with your heart having the freedom to allow

619
00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:00.320
yourself that without judgment of other people's opinions and likewise

620
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:04.320
understanding that you can't understand where they're coming from and giving

621
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:10.640
them the freedom to just be giving them the freedom to grow where they need to

622
00:54:10.640 --> 00:54:16.400
grow and to grow in awareness and so this amount of freedom that allows you

623
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:22.480
to be and allows them to be it just it removes the drama removes the chaos it

624
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:28.720
removes the internal pain it just it is I can't begin to tell you and and in my

625
00:54:28.720 --> 00:54:33.520
workshops I often go through the four levels of awareness that we progress

626
00:54:33.520 --> 00:54:39.360
through to come to a high level of consciousness and and the first level of

627
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:45.120
awareness that we're at is unconscious incompetence so this when we're applying

628
00:54:45.120 --> 00:54:49.400
it here it's that you don't know what you don't know and that is when people

629
00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:52.920
just enter in and they're still oblivious to think that someone else's

630
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:57.160
story and mind and movie is different than their own they haven't even made

631
00:54:57.160 --> 00:54:59.960
that and they just assume that others know what you're thinking and that

632
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.440
you know what they're thinking and it just is just based on this complete low

633
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:08.960
level of awareness. Okay. And causes so much conflict, so much drama,

634
00:55:09.240 --> 00:55:11.200
unconscious incompetence. Well,

635
00:55:11.200 --> 00:55:16.200
what I'm sharing today moves you into a level of conscious incompetence.

636
00:55:16.640 --> 00:55:19.560
You may still enter into this judgment and taking offense.

637
00:55:19.560 --> 00:55:20.960
You may not have mastered it,

638
00:55:21.240 --> 00:55:25.000
but what happens is you start to be conscious of it. You start being aware.

639
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:26.980
Wow. You know what?

640
00:55:26.980 --> 00:55:30.740
I just took something personally and who knows what that person was really

641
00:55:30.740 --> 00:55:32.860
thinking and who knows if it's even based on truth.

642
00:55:32.860 --> 00:55:35.020
Who knows if my belief system is based on truth.

643
00:55:35.220 --> 00:55:38.180
Now you're entering into conscious incompetence.

644
00:55:38.500 --> 00:55:43.500
And so then what will happen is you will move into conscious competence where

645
00:55:45.260 --> 00:55:48.780
you are consciously starting to think about what you think about.

646
00:55:49.100 --> 00:55:53.420
You're consciously starting to think about your belief systems and making

647
00:55:53.420 --> 00:55:57.380
conscious choices to receive or accept, you know, or,

648
00:55:57.380 --> 00:56:01.020
or reject. When people say things to you,

649
00:56:01.180 --> 00:56:04.900
you're consciously aware that that's their brain's opinion and you're

650
00:56:04.900 --> 00:56:09.700
consciously aware that you have a choice to come into agreement with that and

651
00:56:09.700 --> 00:56:14.180
allow that to be part of you or to just dismiss it as saying, that's cool.

652
00:56:14.180 --> 00:56:16.500
That's their opinion. It has nothing to do with me.

653
00:56:16.580 --> 00:56:17.980
That's their brain's opinion.

654
00:56:18.580 --> 00:56:23.580
And this freedom allows you to not have all of the anxiety and frustration and

655
00:56:25.620 --> 00:56:28.620
anger and depending how much fear you have,

656
00:56:28.620 --> 00:56:33.300
because if you have fear now these things lead to envy, jealousy,

657
00:56:33.340 --> 00:56:34.740
anger, bitterness,

658
00:56:34.780 --> 00:56:38.940
all of those other fear based emotions that are just going to shut your liver

659
00:56:38.940 --> 00:56:42.340
down, cause dis-ease, make your life miserable,

660
00:56:42.340 --> 00:56:46.740
steal your peace and joy and not allow you to operate in your highest potential.

661
00:56:46.740 --> 00:56:47.900
So this is a big deal.

662
00:56:48.260 --> 00:56:52.780
And so this conscious competence is where on a daily basis now you're living,

663
00:56:52.780 --> 00:56:56.900
you're building your life by design and not by default.

664
00:56:57.100 --> 00:57:01.260
And so you're beginning to make very conscious choices about which belief

665
00:57:01.260 --> 00:57:04.900
systems you're going to come into agreement with and which ones you're going to

666
00:57:04.900 --> 00:57:09.180
just live and let live and say that's their brain's opinion and be cool with it.

667
00:57:10.780 --> 00:57:14.300
Let's look at a couple more examples before we close this out and then I've got

668
00:57:14.340 --> 00:57:16.940
some important announcements at the end of what's going on.

669
00:57:18.740 --> 00:57:20.500
Let's look at Judas.

670
00:57:20.500 --> 00:57:25.500
Now we think Judas was the one that got upset about the alabaster box and we see

671
00:57:26.660 --> 00:57:30.060
Judas here in Matthew 26 a little further down the road,

672
00:57:30.060 --> 00:57:33.900
why he's thinking that and we see it in verse 20.

673
00:57:33.940 --> 00:57:35.060
It's still evening.

674
00:57:35.060 --> 00:57:40.060
They're still reclining at the table with the 12 disciples and as they're eating,

675
00:57:40.340 --> 00:57:43.180
Jesus makes an announcement because he knows the heart.

676
00:57:43.180 --> 00:57:44.340
He's prophetic.

677
00:57:44.340 --> 00:57:49.060
He's operating by the Holy Spirit that we operate in to begin to try to get some

678
00:57:49.060 --> 00:57:52.980
truth and remember that's the role of the Holy Spirit to guide you into all

679
00:57:52.980 --> 00:57:53.500
truth.

680
00:57:53.500 --> 00:57:55.260
And so he says solemnly,

681
00:57:55.260 --> 00:58:00.260
I tell you one of you is going to betray me and they are exceedingly pained and

682
00:58:00.740 --> 00:58:04.260
distressed and they're hurt at what he says.

683
00:58:05.020 --> 00:58:07.460
Now this is another interesting response.

684
00:58:08.140 --> 00:58:13.140
Don Miguel makes the point in there when you say you're hurting me or you are

685
00:58:13.300 --> 00:58:16.740
hurting me that that's not based on truth,

686
00:58:16.740 --> 00:58:19.620
that actually no one can hurt you.

687
00:58:19.620 --> 00:58:24.620
They may be touching on previous woundings that you have in your past and so

688
00:58:24.820 --> 00:58:28.420
you're experiencing that wounding coming back again,

689
00:58:28.420 --> 00:58:29.460
but it's your choice.

690
00:58:29.460 --> 00:58:30.460
They can't hurt you.

691
00:58:30.460 --> 00:58:31.300
You choose.

692
00:58:31.540 --> 00:58:33.220
But it says that they were pained,

693
00:58:33.220 --> 00:58:34.020
they were distressed,

694
00:58:34.020 --> 00:58:37.580
they were hurt by his words of saying someone is going to betray me.

695
00:58:37.860 --> 00:58:42.860
Now if you knew that it wasn't you and you had no intention of betraying him,

696
00:58:43.420 --> 00:58:44.980
you wouldn't need to take that personally.

697
00:58:44.980 --> 00:58:45.980
You would probably say,

698
00:58:45.980 --> 00:58:46.260
wow,

699
00:58:46.260 --> 00:58:47.420
that's an interesting opinion.

700
00:58:47.420 --> 00:58:48.460
I wonder who it is.

701
00:58:49.220 --> 00:58:51.020
And you would just leave it far from you.

702
00:58:51.020 --> 00:58:54.740
You would not come into agreement with it and take offense.

703
00:58:54.740 --> 00:58:56.340
Like how could you say that?

704
00:58:56.940 --> 00:58:58.300
Watch how you could play this out.

705
00:58:58.300 --> 00:58:59.140
Jesus,

706
00:58:59.220 --> 00:59:01.940
I have like I left my fishing business,

707
00:59:01.940 --> 00:59:03.380
I left my construction business,

708
00:59:03.380 --> 00:59:04.780
I left my source of income,

709
00:59:04.780 --> 00:59:05.900
I left my family.

710
00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:07.820
Do you have no idea what I've done for you?

711
00:59:08.060 --> 00:59:10.220
I've given you everything I have.

712
00:59:10.220 --> 00:59:15.020
I'm sitting here with you at the risk of being killed and being persecuted and

713
00:59:15.020 --> 00:59:16.860
now you're going to say this about me.

714
00:59:16.860 --> 00:59:17.100
I mean,

715
00:59:17.100 --> 00:59:18.460
do you not have any appreciation?

716
00:59:18.460 --> 00:59:21.660
Are you getting the drift where we can spin out of control?

717
00:59:23.420 --> 00:59:25.340
And that's probably what happened there.

718
00:59:25.340 --> 00:59:28.340
They started spinning because it says they were exceedingly pained,

719
00:59:28.340 --> 00:59:28.940
distressed,

720
00:59:28.940 --> 00:59:29.660
deeply hurt,

721
00:59:29.660 --> 00:59:30.860
sorrowful.

722
00:59:31.380 --> 00:59:32.300
And they began to say,

723
00:59:32.300 --> 00:59:32.460
well,

724
00:59:32.460 --> 00:59:33.300
it's not me.

725
00:59:33.340 --> 00:59:34.820
Surely it can't be I,

726
00:59:34.820 --> 00:59:35.660
can it?

727
00:59:36.260 --> 00:59:36.500
See,

728
00:59:36.500 --> 00:59:37.700
they had come into agreement.

729
00:59:37.700 --> 00:59:38.660
The fact that they said,

730
00:59:38.660 --> 00:59:39.500
can it?

731
00:59:39.980 --> 00:59:41.980
And he replies and says,

732
00:59:41.980 --> 00:59:45.140
the one that's going to dip his hand in the same dish with me is the one he's

733
00:59:45.140 --> 00:59:46.340
going to let him know who it is.

734
00:59:46.340 --> 00:59:47.340
It's Judas.

735
00:59:47.740 --> 00:59:48.460
And,

736
00:59:48.460 --> 00:59:50.620
but here's the thing that Jesus does.

737
00:59:50.620 --> 00:59:52.300
Jesus doesn't take it personally.

738
00:59:52.780 --> 00:59:57.780
He's in the room with the man who is posing to be one of his inner circle,

739
00:59:59.220 --> 01:00:00.220
one of his inner circle.

740
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:06.640
sentiment 12 full-on knowing prophetically God had showed him that

741
01:00:06.640 --> 01:00:11.440
this man's going to betray him and he's not going to take offense he's not going

742
01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:16.080
to operate in fear he's not going to you know do any of these things he's going

743
01:00:16.080 --> 01:00:22.880
to use these moments free from all of that drama as a teaching moment thinking

744
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:28.880
of their higher good he's going to use what he knows in what scripture talks

745
01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:36.040
about edifying using our words to build up using our words to teach to instruct

746
01:00:36.040 --> 01:00:40.880
to lift up so he's outside of his own drama he's not in his own fear that he's

747
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:46.080
about to be betrayed he's not in his own emotional in his own emotional stuff

748
01:00:46.080 --> 01:00:51.440
he's not taking it personally he's going to use this as a teaching moment and he

749
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:56.920
says you know what the son of man is going just as it's written of him but

750
01:00:56.920 --> 01:01:02.440
woe to the man by who the son of man is betrayed it would have been better

751
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:08.880
probably that he had not been born Judas the betrayer says surely it's not I

752
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:16.840
master and he said to him you've stated the fact and now they're eating Jesus

753
01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:22.160
takes the bread he goes through a life lesson he shows how to give thanks he

754
01:01:22.160 --> 01:01:28.160
asked them to bless it so he's teaching the power of blessing he breaks it he

755
01:01:28.160 --> 01:01:33.160
begins to tell him about what he's going to do for them take eat this is my body

756
01:01:33.160 --> 01:01:40.720
he does the cup drink it he's about to introduce the new covenant and he

757
01:01:40.720 --> 01:01:47.360
introduces the the new covenant and talks about their future so he's so out

758
01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:52.160
of himself right there and so not taking it personally that he can use

759
01:01:52.160 --> 01:02:04.680
this as a teaching moment write down Proverbs 19 verse 11 Proverbs 19 verse

760
01:02:04.680 --> 01:02:13.840
11 and that wisdom there from King Solomon says good sense makes a man

761
01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:22.440
restrain his anger and it is his glory that's a high frequency right there it

762
01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:31.960
is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense it was to Jesus glory he

763
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:36.040
overlooked what he knew that was coming and used it as a teaching moment rather

764
01:02:36.040 --> 01:02:43.400
than taking it personally it is to your glory to overlook your own personal

765
01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:48.320
drama and see how you might minister to that person that is probably speaking

766
01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:53.560
out of their own fear not probably they are speaking out of their own fear their

767
01:02:53.560 --> 01:02:59.720
own past their own history their own trigger see I've gotten really good or

768
01:02:59.720 --> 01:03:03.440
not really good I don't want to brag I've become more aware become more

769
01:03:03.440 --> 01:03:09.160
conscious when I triggered something in someone and they're operating out of

770
01:03:09.160 --> 01:03:14.000
their trigger and I've learned instead of taking it personally because I could

771
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:17.920
it could be a big old deal and this happened to me as recent as yesterday

772
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:25.360
when I triggered someone and they really went off and reacted and boy I could have

773
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:30.440
reacted and we could have had World War three but instead I simply chose not to

774
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:33.880
take it personally and I said you know you're you're responding that's a

775
01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:39.240
trigger you're responding to your past and the fact of the matter is I have

776
01:03:39.240 --> 01:03:44.400
nothing to do with that past I can't change that past I I wasn't part of

777
01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:48.840
creating that past so what you're reacting to right now instead of

778
01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:53.960
responding the difference between reacting and responding what you're

779
01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:59.920
reacting to is your internal story your internal past has nothing to do with

780
01:03:59.920 --> 01:04:04.320
what I'm really saying right now I'm not going to take that personally and

781
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:08.200
come into agreement with you and get into a disagreement with you and all of

782
01:04:08.200 --> 01:04:12.760
that I'm going to overlook that that's your past that's your freedom and I'm

783
01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:17.760
going to tell you what I meant and you see this is mature conversation this is

784
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:25.600
conscious conversation and it allows you to keep this nightmare of hell out of

785
01:04:25.600 --> 01:04:31.200
your life and all the anxiety all the sleepless nights all the stress all the

786
01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:35.840
damage you did to your liver all the separation of friends or loved ones or

787
01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:41.280
whatever all of the stealing your peace and your joy can be ended by the simple

788
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:49.800
agreement of do not take any thing personally I'll give you another thing

789
01:04:49.800 --> 01:04:57.120
you want to write down Matthew 11 and verse 5 and 6 Matthew 11 5 and 6 what I

790
01:04:57.120 --> 01:05:01.720
want you to understand is that this offense

791
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:09.480
this taking things personally keeps you from seeing truth. Offense keeps you from

792
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:16.760
seeing truth. Jesus said in Matthew 11 the blind received their sight. He's

793
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:20.080
talking about what he did when people said who should we say who you are and

794
01:05:20.080 --> 01:05:24.840
he said go back and tell John wants to know in prison who are you and he says

795
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:29.240
tell him that the blind received their sight. The lame walk the lepers are

796
01:05:29.240 --> 01:05:34.280
cleansed by healing. The deaf hear. The dead are raised. The poor have good news.

797
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:38.640
The Gospels being preached. Let's just look at the fruit. Look at what's

798
01:05:38.640 --> 01:05:42.120
happening with my life because they're busy getting into their own opinions

799
01:05:42.120 --> 01:05:47.360
their own taking personal. Who is this guy? Is he a teacher? Is he God? Is he a

800
01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:51.080
fake? Is he a prophet? Is he Elijah? Who the heck? All the brains

801
01:05:51.080 --> 01:05:55.880
opinions are busy at it and he says let's just look at the works and he says

802
01:05:55.880 --> 01:06:01.520
and blessed in verse six out that word means happy fortunate to be envied you

803
01:06:01.520 --> 01:06:05.280
want to be blessed you want to be happy you want to be fortunate you want to be

804
01:06:05.280 --> 01:06:13.040
envied is he who takes no offense at me and finds no cause for stumbling in and

805
01:06:13.040 --> 01:06:21.600
through me is not hindered from seeing the truth you see offense it says is not

806
01:06:21.600 --> 01:06:25.360
hindered from seeing the truth when you get in your own drama and you take

807
01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:30.200
things personally you're hindered from seeing the truth your growth just

808
01:06:30.200 --> 01:06:36.560
stopped your personal growth your rise in consciousness you're operating at a

809
01:06:36.560 --> 01:06:40.760
higher level of frequency your ability to be up in the high frequency emotions

810
01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:46.440
of love joy peace all of those completely got hindered because you took

811
01:06:46.440 --> 01:06:52.240
offense that's the price that you pay so the freedom of not taking it personally

812
01:06:52.240 --> 01:06:57.880
is to be able to do that finally in Matthew 13 and I'll close with this one

813
01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:06.520
in Matthew 13 verses 56 through 58 people were taking offense at Jesus and

814
01:07:06.520 --> 01:07:11.920
it kept away miracles do you want to live a supernatural life do you want to

815
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:16.000
live a miraculous because God you were built to it you were designed to live a

816
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:21.240
supernatural life you want to live a supernatural life you got to get this

817
01:07:21.240 --> 01:07:25.680
thing down of not taking personally you can't live a supernatural life and hold

818
01:07:25.680 --> 01:07:29.560
on to your offense it keeps you from the miraculous it keeps you from the

819
01:07:29.560 --> 01:07:35.080
supernatural it's standing between you and your miracles and they start talking

820
01:07:35.080 --> 01:07:38.240
to Jesus and they're judging him and they're getting their opinions in the

821
01:07:38.240 --> 01:07:41.640
way and they're saying don't all his sisters live here who is this dude who

822
01:07:41.640 --> 01:07:46.720
do you think he is where did this man get all this so they're gonna judge him

823
01:07:46.720 --> 01:07:52.320
if he's credentialed enough who the heck he thinks he is is he proud is he

824
01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:56.600
delusional is he whatever it is right they're gonna start taking offense and

825
01:07:56.600 --> 01:08:03.560
it says that right there in verse 57 it says and they took offense at him they

826
01:08:03.560 --> 01:08:09.360
took offense at Jesus they took offense at infinite love they took offense at

827
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:14.600
infinite wisdom can you imagine infinite love and infinite wisdom is right there

828
01:08:14.600 --> 01:08:18.319
in their neighborhood right there knocking on their door right there ready

829
01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:25.000
to bring all healing all revelation all truth all freedom all peace all joy it's

830
01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:29.200
knocking on their door everything they've ever wanted everything that

831
01:08:29.200 --> 01:08:33.680
they've ever hoped for everything that they've ever imagined what they've been

832
01:08:33.680 --> 01:08:37.720
looking for the Messiah what they thought was the conquering king

833
01:08:37.720 --> 01:08:41.920
everything they've been waiting for everything there were their religion

834
01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:49.319
everything their truth was built on and they took offense they took offense at

835
01:08:49.319 --> 01:08:54.800
infinite love and infinite wisdom they took offense and it says they were

836
01:08:54.800 --> 01:09:02.880
repelled because negative energy repels what you desire it pushes it away it

837
01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:09.120
keeps your miracle away it was not on God's side keeping their miracle away it

838
01:09:09.120 --> 01:09:14.160
was not on God's side keeping their healing away it was not on God's side

839
01:09:14.160 --> 01:09:19.120
keeping their peace and joy and love away they repelled it it says they were

840
01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:27.040
repelled and hindered and caused to stumble because they took offense you

841
01:09:27.040 --> 01:09:32.160
get that they were repelled they were hindered imagine you some of you have

842
01:09:32.160 --> 01:09:36.520
been hindered from getting your blessing you have so much resistance going on

843
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:42.640
you're out of the flow things aren't flowing in your life you're stuck you're

844
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:49.800
hindered because of taking offense and Jesus understands it and he says a

845
01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:56.760
prophets not with honor in his own house in his own country and it says something

846
01:09:56.760 --> 01:10:00.600
so powerful in verse 58

847
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.040
He did not do many works of power there.

848
01:10:04.040 --> 01:10:06.640
He couldn't perform miracles there.

849
01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:12.960
There was people that left there today, that day, that still had their cancer and didn't

850
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:16.960
get healed and they were probably judging and saying, ah, he couldn't heal, he's not

851
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:19.640
the real deal, I still got my cancer.

852
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:24.320
There was people there that left that still didn't have the use of their legs, they were

853
01:10:24.320 --> 01:10:26.240
still paralyzed.

854
01:10:26.240 --> 01:10:30.280
It didn't need to be so, it didn't need to be their truth, they didn't need to miss their

855
01:10:30.280 --> 01:10:34.200
healing, they walked away without their healing.

856
01:10:34.200 --> 01:10:36.560
And what kept their healing away?

857
01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:38.280
What kept their financial provision?

858
01:10:38.280 --> 01:10:44.440
There was people there that left still not enough to buy their next meal, starving, when

859
01:10:44.440 --> 01:10:49.940
they could have had access to all provision, the cattle on a thousand hills.

860
01:10:49.940 --> 01:10:53.040
They left without their blessing.

861
01:10:53.040 --> 01:10:56.400
And what was it that kept them from receiving their freedom?

862
01:10:56.400 --> 01:10:58.840
What was it that kept them from receiving their healing?

863
01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:02.320
What was it that kept them from receiving that abundance and their provision?

864
01:11:02.320 --> 01:11:03.320
What was it?

865
01:11:03.320 --> 01:11:04.320
Was it God?

866
01:11:04.320 --> 01:11:07.160
Was it God not reaching out to mankind?

867
01:11:07.160 --> 01:11:13.840
No, God had broken into mankind, infinite wisdom and infinite love and infinite provision

868
01:11:13.840 --> 01:11:19.560
was standing in their midst and it says he couldn't do the works of power there because

869
01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:27.280
of their unbelief, because of their lack of faith in his divine mission.

870
01:11:27.280 --> 01:11:30.280
It was on their end.

871
01:11:30.280 --> 01:11:34.980
You know the picture of revelation that says I stand at the door and knock and the picture

872
01:11:34.980 --> 01:11:37.200
of the doorknob is on the inside.

873
01:11:37.200 --> 01:11:41.840
It's not God, it's not the devil, it's not Obama, it's you that's got that door locked.

874
01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:46.720
It's you standing between you and your provision, it's you standing between you and your healing.

875
01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:52.080
It's you keeping you in anxiety, it's you keeping you having to be on anxiety meds or

876
01:11:52.080 --> 01:11:56.900
depressant meds, it's you keeping yourself from having peace and joy.

877
01:11:56.900 --> 01:12:01.040
It's not God doing this to you and it's not someone else doing it to you.

878
01:12:01.040 --> 01:12:05.400
If you still think it's outside of yourself and you're saying well if my husband would

879
01:12:05.400 --> 01:12:10.120
just change, if my wife would just change, if this guy would just get out, if my boss

880
01:12:10.120 --> 01:12:15.040
would just, if you're still doing the if, you're taking it personally, you're taking

881
01:12:15.040 --> 01:12:21.560
offense, you've given away your power, it's a major energy leak, you've given away your

882
01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:24.560
freedom, your love, peace, joy.

883
01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:27.040
You can take it back today.

884
01:12:27.040 --> 01:12:35.600
You can take it back by understanding this simple agreement of do not take anything personally.

885
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:38.160
So I pray that blesses you.

886
01:12:38.160 --> 01:12:40.440
I'm going to open for conversation.

887
01:12:40.440 --> 01:12:43.560
I want to announce a couple of exciting things coming up.

888
01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:49.400
So I bless all of you listening here online and for much time to come.

889
01:12:49.400 --> 01:12:56.040
I bless you with the ability and the freedom to not take things personally in Jesus' name.

890
01:12:56.040 --> 01:12:57.040
Amen.

891
01:12:57.040 --> 01:12:58.040
Powerful.

892
01:12:58.040 --> 01:12:59.040
I'll use that today in my meeting at 10.30.

893
01:12:59.040 --> 01:13:00.040
I can apply it to my personal life and I can hardly wait to get on to the rest of your

894
01:13:00.040 --> 01:13:01.040
stuff.

895
01:13:01.040 --> 01:13:02.040
So thank you for today.

896
01:13:02.040 --> 01:13:03.040
It was absolutely awesome.

897
01:13:03.040 --> 01:13:04.040
Oh, thank you for saying that, Wendy.

898
01:13:04.040 --> 01:13:05.040

All right.

908

Anybody else?

909
01:13:15.040 --> 01:13:16.040

We're all amazing.

God bless you.

921

God bless you.

922

Thank you, Greg.

God bless you.

929
01:13:35.040 --> 01:13:36.040
Thank you for being on this call.

930
01:13:36.040 --> 01:13:37.040
Anybody else?

931
01:13:37.040 --> 01:13:38.040
Hi, this is Karnia.

932
01:13:38.040 --> 01:13:51.840
For me, the part that stood out was obviously studying the difference between hurt versus

933
01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:55.760
offending, and being honest about someone did offend me.

934
01:13:55.760 --> 01:14:02.760
I think it's really important to be honest about what's going on inside of me and in

935
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:03.760
my world, and not trying to reflect it or make it someone else's problem.

936
01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:04.760
Wow.

937
01:14:04.760 --> 01:14:05.760
Isn't that just huge, LaTanya?

938
01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:06.760
Isn't that just amazing?

939
01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:07.760
I mean, yes.

940
01:14:07.760 --> 01:14:08.760
Yeah.

941
01:14:08.760 --> 01:14:09.760
Because I really don't hurt you.

942
01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:10.760
I mean, they just say something and it triggers something.

943
01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:11.760
You need to be honest about what they're doing.

944
01:14:11.760 --> 01:14:12.760
Yeah.

945
01:14:12.760 --> 01:14:13.760
It triggers something inside of me.

946
01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:20.760
This just gives a whole new level of freedom.

947
01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:27.960
You stop thinking that people can hurt you.

948
01:14:27.960 --> 01:14:31.900
This is the amazing thing, and I'm growing through all of this, so I'm only speaking

949
01:14:31.900 --> 01:14:34.880
out of my own personal growth.

950
01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:38.560
The biggest thing is we're so afraid of being hurt.

951
01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:40.400
All of this is fear-based.

952
01:14:40.400 --> 01:14:45.800
We're so afraid of being hurt that we now project.

953
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:52.360
Part of it is triggering your past, and then you take that trigger and that fear, and you

954
01:14:52.360 --> 01:14:57.280
start applying it to the future, and you start saying, oh, man, this person's going to hurt

955
01:14:57.280 --> 01:14:58.280
me.

956
01:14:58.280 --> 01:15:00.000
A lot of times, we won't open our heart in relationship.

957
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.540
relationship so we never get to experience the beauty that God had for

958
01:15:04.540 --> 01:15:08.900
that relationship for that season it might be a relationship for a day a

959
01:15:08.900 --> 01:15:13.980
month a year a lifetime but we don't experience the beauty because we're

960
01:15:13.980 --> 01:15:18.900
borrowing from that past we're attaching fear to it and now we're so worried that

961
01:15:18.900 --> 01:15:22.900
they are going to hurt us that they even have the power to hurt us which they

962
01:15:22.900 --> 01:15:26.820
don't unless we come into agreement and buy into that that we can no longer

963
01:15:26.820 --> 01:15:31.940
enjoy the moment and the beauty it's like Jesus infinite wisdom infinite love

964
01:15:31.940 --> 01:15:37.520
was right there in their midst and they couldn't enjoy it or receive the miracle

965
01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:42.900
of it because they had too many fears attached to it and we do the same thing

966
01:15:42.900 --> 01:15:47.420
in our relationships we miss the beauty of that moment that present that now

967
01:15:47.420 --> 01:15:51.340
what that person could be bringing in their life the beauty of what that

968
01:15:51.340 --> 01:15:56.180
relationship could be because they're borrowing the fear from the future this

969
01:15:56.180 --> 01:16:03.020
is an area I'm trying to grow in awareness I can tell you personally so

970
01:16:03.020 --> 01:16:07.260
we borrow we borrow that we take it from the past the trigger and we borrow it

971
01:16:07.260 --> 01:16:17.740
into the future and it keeps us from enjoying the now anybody else and and

972
01:16:17.740 --> 01:16:21.700
the funny thing is we can do nothing about any of that the past is gone we

973
01:16:21.700 --> 01:16:26.380
can absolutely do nothing about it we can learn from it and that's it leave it

974
01:16:26.380 --> 01:16:31.060
you can't change it you can't go back and we can do nothing about the future

975
01:16:31.060 --> 01:16:35.260
Jesus said can you have one hair to your head can you add one inch to your height

976
01:16:35.260 --> 01:16:40.980
by worrying absolutely not he said don't borrow trouble from tomorrow today has

977
01:16:40.980 --> 01:16:48.900
enough of its own in other words he was saying you know stay in the now at

978
01:16:48.900 --> 01:16:54.700
cartel you know the power of now stay in this moment if you stay in this

979
01:16:54.700 --> 01:16:58.460
moment you're gonna remove the judgment the fear the taking the personal the

980
01:16:58.460 --> 01:17:03.900
past triggers the future worry the low frequency past guilt shame beat yourself

981
01:17:03.900 --> 01:17:11.900
up judgment the future low frequency emotions anxiety etc etc etc powerful

982
01:17:11.900 --> 01:17:41.780
stuff yes thank you yep yep and many times people are are stuck there and

983
01:17:41.780 --> 01:17:45.220
they can't even see who you are now you've changed you're totally different

984
01:17:45.220 --> 01:17:51.380
and they still see you how they saw you you know you ever know a kid maybe you

985
01:17:51.380 --> 01:17:56.580
know when he was 13 14 16 19 you knew a kid and then you don't see him and now

986
01:17:56.580 --> 01:18:00.540
you see him when they're 20 something or they're 30 something and you really have

987
01:18:00.540 --> 01:18:06.460
a hard time like seeing them because in your head they're still 16 you ever

988
01:18:06.460 --> 01:18:11.300
experienced that it's just like a real life a real life example what we do to

989
01:18:11.300 --> 01:18:14.100
all people all the time we think they're still the same as they were when
