and
So father I just thank you for today. I know this is the day that you have made
We rejoice in it. We're glad in it. We celebrate it. We come with gratitude and
We just ask that you open the eyes of our heart that will be ready to
receive
All that you have for us. Holy Spirit. You've promised to guide us into all truth
You've promised to teach us all things you've promised to show us things to come you've promised to remind us of things that Jesus spoke
So father, I just ask that you open all of our spiritual senses our spiritual eyes our spiritual ears
spiritual sense of feeling and perception
All of it Lord. I just ask that
today be rich in you and
the words the thoughts the beliefs
That bring total transformation
allowing each person listening
to step into their divine design their divine purpose their divine calling their divine joy
The abundant life that you've promised
So I ask that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight be glorified with everything
That is spoken today in Jesus name
Amen, well, we just welcome you back and those of you that are brand new welcome for the first time and as I was mentioning
I'm really excited. We are current. We are up to date
With all the previous ones so you can jump on and be able to listen to any that you may have missed
This has been a powerful series and you can catch that at B as in boy
it.ly forward slash
BBSC-4a for four agreements BBSC for Bible-based spiritual equipping-4a
So we are on number nine. We're hitting actually the fourth agreement today
Which is amazing that we've this is our ninth week together
studying this
it's a book that I I read a year or two ago and
Called the four agreements and it is written in the Toltec
Tradition it is
written by
Don Miguel Ruiz and
just
powerful way
to break
the thousands of
Agreements or another way of phrasing it the thousands of the belief systems
That you're basing your life on right now
That perhaps you began when you were way too young
To have the ability to filter them
Someone in authority taught you how to live. They taught you how to think about money
They taught you how to think about marriage. They taught you how to think about religion. They taught you how to think about God and
Your filters were not up you were young this happened at four five six seven eight years old
So you just came into agreement. You just came in full trust full faith. You came into agreement. You made it your own
Put it in your subconscious probably forgot about it till then but it's still controlling you to this day and
So we've been focusing on Romans chapter 12
chapter 12 in particular verse 2
That talks about not being shaped not being molded not being conformed not building your life and your
structure
around
the the Amplified Bible says the external superficial customs of the world and
So what you see in the movies what you're hearing in the music
You're being programmed on a daily basis
and if you haven't come to that conclusion talk to me privately and I'll give you thousands and thousands of
examples of
how the media
Has been set up how how how music has been very specifically chosen timing of movies have been chosen
to begin to shape your thinking and
to
Have you do what it is that they're wanting which primarily is to be a consumer a dumbed-down consumer
And so if you don't have the level of awareness, then you just take on the shape and whatever they tell you
You assume that it's the right thing, especially when it's coming from an authority figure
You know when my oldest daughter was was a baby and was one
I was part of a medical insurance plan and I went in and the doctor says, you know, there's an experimental series of
immunizations and
I you know, we're giving it to all children. Well, I mean the doctors telling me this he's he's the authority
He's got the stethoscope around his neck. He's got the you know
He's got the degrees on the wall he is the authority that
medicine and we could do this with any field I'm not picking on medicine in
particular. Now at this point I already had degrees in nutrition, exercise
physiology, I had an awareness of health but no one had brought to my attention
all the studies that had been done on immunizations and I don't want to get
into one particular area that's not the purpose of this call but my point of
bringing this up is I just accepted it blindly and I did it and my daughter had
a severe reaction and developed a severe autoimmune disorder and my point is not
right now to talk about medicine that's a whole nother subject or immunizations
my point is the way that we just conform the media tells us what season it is and
it's not the four seasons described in the Bible the media tells us when it's
flu season and tells us to line up and and get a shot and the media tells us
when it's cold and allergy season and and they tell us what chemical to put in
our body to stop a process that the body is doing to detoxify and there's all of
these customs I could talk in the financial arena the way you're being
programmed I could talk in the political I could talk in the spiritual but the
bottom line is that scripture in Romans chapter 12 says do not be conformed that
word in the Greek I love looking up the original Greek word it's it's the word
that you would use if you poured hot jello into a jello mold and the jello
takes on the shape of that jello mold I want you to have that visual because
you've been shaped you've taken on a certain shape and you've just accepted
belief systems and the secret of transformation it says but be
transformed so don't be conformed but be transformed and it tells you how
that's the cool thing about scriptures it tells you how you are transformed by
the entire complete total renewal of the mind two words re do again new make your
mind new this is how transformation happens I was reading a very powerful
Jewish writing and I'm not Jewish but I just stumbled on this and it was very
very powerful one of their daily readings from the Torah from the
scholars and and it was talking about you know when they came out of Egypt and
of course understand in scripture that everything has multiple layers in
scripture you've got actual history but you've got so much metaphor and you've
got so many parables and you've got so much of your experience you you are in
everything written in the Bible you are in every character you are in every
struggle so open your eyes to see it from that angle so you know you can read
historically about a deliverance of a group of people coming out of Egypt but
take it deeper and begin to see what Egypt have you been trapped in by your
belief systems what is it that you need to get set free from and so they came
out of bondage because by the way your perceptions your belief systems your
conception of yourself is keeping you in bondage and you will only transcend and
rise above the conception you have of yourself when you go through this
process we're talking about of transformation and being renewed so they
came out of Egypt they had this deliverance of getting set free of
course they came out of Egypt but now it's going to take 40 years to make a
seven-day journey because they came out of Egypt but Egypt still wasn't out of
them and many of you are in that case you've had these agreements and these
belief systems and perhaps you've come out of whatever your past you know drugs
alcohol promiscuity whatever you were doing to you know to try to exist and
make it workaholism whatever it is that you've come through but perhaps all of
that hasn't come out of you and I'm going to do a teaching on spiritual and
emotional detox I'm doing it in the health program health and prosperity
program tonight that I lead and beginning to understand how not to be
conformed but how to be transformed by the renewal of your mind well to do that
you have to be willing to take every single belief system and you have to be
able to put it under a microscope if you will to think about your thinking to
be willing and and and I know Janice we just had an amazing talk at the
restaurant the other day after after your event
and to take a belief system and ask some key questions about that belief system
and one of those questions is, is it even true? You've been believing stuff
that's not even based on truth. That's the crazy part. You might be believing
that this is a world of lack when it's actually a world of abundance. You might
be believing lies about yourself and who you are because they were
spoken over you and they're not even based on God's truth and how he made you
and who you are. So we've been believing all this stuff that's not even based on
truth and secondly then ask the question, what is holding this belief kind of
really doing for me? What would I be if I let go of this belief? And if the answer
is I'd be free like coming out of Egypt if I let go of this belief then we
really need to have some serious consideration. You know there's a
woman that that is a beautiful friend of mine that leads a woman's networking
group and she was paid as a child to be quiet and so she grew up with this
belief system that she couldn't have a voice. It's amazing how this affects us
physically, spiritually. This weekend I was at a spiritual retreat and I
ended up praying over a woman and she's got this very very soft spoken voice and
you can barely hear her. She still talks like a little girl in a lot of ways, a
beautiful beautiful woman, strong mighty woman, but her voice doesn't reflect the
strength of who she is and she's just now coming into an understanding of that
that as a child she was not allowed to have a voice and as a child she was
actually physically strangled by her father and so you don't even know here
she is you know a very adult I don't know 50 probably plus and still carrying
around these belief systems and that are not that are not based on truth that
your voice doesn't matter or it shouldn't be heard is one of those ones
that's not based on truth so what would happen then the question becomes if I
let go of that belief system. That's what this whole four agreements is about. What
would happen if I let go of this belief system of these agreements and perhaps
I took on some different ones that were based in truth and that did serve me and
that level of awareness so so they came out of Egypt and the Jewish tradition
says the first thing they saw was 12 fountains and 70 date trees and the
fountains in the Jewish tradition it writes there by these Jewish scholars
represented perception of reality so the first thing that had to happen for
transformation when they left Egypt was that they would have to change their
perception of what is real they would have to change their perception of these
belief systems that have been programmed into them imagine when you're coming out
of slavery the belief systems that are still inside of you and and I'm talking
millennia I'm talking you know thousands and thousands of years that you're still
carrying in your DNA of poverty of slavery of whatever the bondage of Egypt
was for you and being able to be set free from that that's the glory of what
this is really about being able so the first thing that had to happen when they
saw the fountains was to realize that their perception and that's how be
transformed by the renewing of the mind the first thing is you have to look at
how you perceive things how you're holding to these belief systems and then
the second thing that they saw these date trees tamar is the word for date in
Hebrew tamar and that's the same word by the way for date and for change or
transformation so transformation tamar could happen once they changed their
perception of reality well that's no different it was no different they're
coming out of Egypt and it's no different for us coming out of Egypt
here in spiritual Egypt into your high calling and who you've been created to
be so this is the purpose of of this call I call it the four agreements a
biblical perspective for discovering the secrets to transformation want to bring
you both a natural scientific and a biblical perspective on how you can be
transformed so when you go back and you listen you know we covered the first
agreement which is be impeccable with your word and we looked up the original
meaning by the way part of being impeccable with your word is changing
your
vocabulary. Do you want transformation to happen in your life? Master the
vocabulary of that transformation. If you've been speaking the vocabulary of
poverty, if you've been walking around talking about being broke or flat-out
busted or whatever your word is, okay, begin to change your vocabulary because
poverty has a vocabulary and wealth has a vocabulary. If you've been bound up
with fear, change your vocabulary because both fear and faith have their own
vocabulary. If you've been bound up with illness or sickness, dis-ease, change your
vocabulary. This is part of your dominion. You see, the world was created with
words and the first thing that God did with Adam was to have him start speaking
words, have him start naming his creation because whatever you can name,
whatever you can understand the vocabulary and the language of, you can
begin to transform in yourself. And one of the ways I do that, this is just an
added bonus, I look up words and one of the places I look up words is I look
them up in Webster's 1828 Dictionary. Webster's 1828 Dictionary. It's the first
dictionary of the American language. Noah Webster was an amazing godly man and he
brings a knowledge of all the major languages that go into the American
English language. He brings a knowledge of what's the origin of it and he brings
the biblical root of a word. And I'm going to give you a little homework
assignment to help you understand how much vocabulary has changed and I
encourage you to do this before the next time and come back and talk about it. This
will be a little eye-opening transformation exercise for you. I just
did it with a 21 year old boy that I've been mentoring and coaching and I had
him look up in the current dictionaries that have been rewritten like history's
been rewritten and you've been dumbed down and I had him look up the word
education. Educate. Education. Look it up. What's your view of education? And then I
encourage you to look up that word in Webster's 1828 Dictionary online and
come back and tell me what you find. It will be your eye-opening exercise into
realizing how much your vocabulary and your words are determining who you are
today. The agreements you've made and the vocabulary that you're speaking. So the
first agreement was be impeccable with your word and an awareness of this
allows you to now begin to be deliberate and to create with one of the
powerful tools that God's given you for creation. Scripture says the power, the
power, the power of life and death is in the tongue and we eat the fruit thereof.
If you're not liking the fruit in your life begin to consider what your
tongue is speaking because your words have power. They are the way God allows
you to be a co-creator. The mind, heart, mouth connection. I teach that in my
think, feel, speak workshops in very powerful ways. I teach it in my manifest
your dreams, goals, and desires program. You know I get a lot of people that come
up to me and say why isn't the law of attraction working for me? I've read it,
I've read it, I've tried. I just got this when I spoke at Power of Words Summit
this past weekend and I had people come up to me and go I hear you saying things
I recognize from the law of attraction. Which by the way I haven't read the book
yet so I'll just confess that right there. But they said I'm teaching from it
and the law of attraction and why is it not working for me? And I teach this in
your manifest your goals, dreams, and desires. Because there are things that
you're not understanding when you try to apply the law of attraction. You're
leaving major pieces out and once you get those you begin to manifest your
goals, dreams, and desires and you manifest them quickly. And it's so amazing that at
first you'll just like blow yourself away to realize the power that God has
put in you to be a co-creator. So part of that manifesting is
understanding the power of your words and in these four agreements to be
impeccable with your words. Number two is a big one, big big big one. I'm getting
tested on this one every single day I think. Don't take anything personally.
Don't take anything personally and this is based on a belief system of personal
importance. In other words, it's based on the belief system that's what's going on
that you see is about you. That the look a person gave you or the word that they
said or why they do what they do or how they acted the way they acted, that it's
about you. And one of the things that'll really set you free is to begin to
realize that we all have a movie and we are the producer and we're producing our
movie and our movie is not anyone else's movie and no one sees things through
your movie. No one sees things the way that you see things and so you assume
that what they're doing is about you when it's really about their movie and
the day you discover this you'll get set free. And you begin to realize and that
don't take anything personally, okay, is tied in with number three that we
covered which is don't make assumptions. Go back and listen to these audios over
and over and over. I promise you. I'm still listening and I promise you you'll
get something different every time. That's the beauty of renewing of your
mind, okay. And so tied along with don't take things personally is don't make
assumptions. You see, you make the assumption that first of all what you
believe is the truth because you haven't challenged it, you haven't put it under a
microscope. You believe that it's God's will. You know, I had a woman that I sat
with at the event that I just spoke at and afterwards there was a little mixer
and I sat and talked with a woman and she had been programmed with some
belief systems that the desires of her heart, who she was, what she wanted to do,
her passion and purpose, what she was created to do. She was an artist. She was
a performer. She's a dancer. She's a
theater. She's an actress and she got some programming from her mother that as
a woman and particularly as a woman of color that there's no way she could make
a living. There was no money and that she needed to get a real job and it was shut
down. Her passion and her purpose was shut down because of this belief that
was spoken that she came into agreement. She actually came into agreement and now
30 years later, 40 years later, whatever it is, in agreement she's still bound by
that and that belief system. So we make the assumption that what we're
believing is true and she said I'm just waiting for God to change this. I said
honey this has nothing to do with God. This has to do with a belief system that
you've chosen and you're the only one that can change your belief system. She
said I'm waiting on God and I said yeah well God's waiting on you. So much that
we're putting on God has nothing to do with God. It has to do with what's
between our two ears, the belief systems that we've come into agreement with, that
we've made the basis for our life and now we're waiting for God to come undo
it. Well he'll help you but it's going to be the biblical way of transformation
which happens by renewing your mind, by being willing as scripture talks about
to take every thought captive, by being willing as scripture talks about to fix
your mind on that which is good and lovely and virtuous and true. Fix your
mind. There's so much you've fixed your mind on that is based on fear not love.
That is based on programming not God's Word. That is based on tradition and not
truth. In fact Jesus went so far to say you make null and void, you make of no
value the Word of God by your traditions. In other words take your Bible and flush
it down the toilet if you're gonna follow this. Your traditions have
completely negated, made null, made of no value, made void the Word of God, the
truth, that which brings life and sets the captive free. You've made it null and
void by the traditions. This is what we're talking about, the belief systems,
the assumptions that are running your life that have nothing to do with God.
wait for God to come down and change it all. Oh, can you tell I'm a little bit
passionate about this subject? Let me open the line, I'll keep going, but this
this idea of not taking personal, not making assumptions, and by the way the
remedy for not making assumptions is ask, ask, ask, ask, A-S-K, ask, ask questions of
yourself, is this true? Ask questions of the person that you're assuming about. I
do this all the time now, I say, you know what, this is what I'm seeing or what I'm
feeling, is this, is this based on truth? And oh, I can't tell you, 99% of the time
they're like, absolutely not. Now this is something that had already gotten me
upset, made me cry, made me angry or whatever, and it's not based on truth. You
realize how much stress you can eliminate in your life, how much better
you can sleep at night. I believe depression, anxiety could be eradicated
if we could just get this part right. So the assumptions that we make in
relationships, business and personal, and we make the assumption that others, our
business partners, our relationship partners, our significant others, know
what we're thinking and that they know what they should do to make us happy, and
so we get all these hurts saying, you should have known, why did you do that?
You were hurting me, you know, when they weren't even understanding what you were
feeling or thinking. You get into partnerships, business partnerships,
marriage, relationships, and you assume that your partner's coming in from the
same viewpoint as you, and so these assumptions, they lead to expectations
and that gap between the reality of what you're experiencing and the expectation
that you have, that gap translates into frustration, and that's why we have, we
get all upset and torpid over the whole thing. Assumptions cause division
because you want to hold on to your belief system and you want to defend it.
So ask, ask yourself, ask the person, clarify what it is that you're
perceiving, ask the Holy Spirit which is deeper than both of your understanding.
James 1.5, James 1.5, if any of you is deficient in wisdom, hey, making these
assumptions is very deficient in wisdom, it's not wise to make assumptions, it's
not wise to assume that you understand the other person, it's not wise to think
you know what they're thinking, it's not wise to think they know what you're
thinking. So if any of you is deficient in wisdom, let them ask of the giving God
who gives to everyone liberally, ungrudgingly, without reproach or fault
finding, and it will be given. You want to walk in wisdom instead of these
assumptions and taking it personally, ask. John 16 says the whole role of the Holy
Spirit, the role of the Holy Spirit is to guide you into all truth. It's time to
get some real truth, not your perception, not your programming, not your belief
systems that you came into agreement with, but it's time to really ask the
Holy Spirit, is this true? Is it even true? Is this belief system even serving me? So
that you can then be willing to drop those belief systems that are no longer
serving you. It's a choice. It begins with awareness and it moves through choice.
Choose you this day whom you will serve. And so you begin to have to choice.
Scripture talks about the the gifts of the Spirit and how the Spirit shows you
things to come. The gifts of the Spirit include the word of knowledge and the
word of wisdom. The word of knowledge is that you can get the real truth of a
situation. The word of wisdom lets you see into the future and have the wisdom
to know what to do. You can see things in your future before they even happen. It
is a gift that comes with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And so that's why Romans
8 talks about being led by the Spirit. Those are the true sons and daughters of
God. So that's where we've been so far. That's the first three agreements. So
before we go into the fourth agreement, I want to open up the lines if you could.
Jump in. Questions, comments, revelation. What you're thinking, what you're asking,
what you're learning, what you're doing will bless everybody on the call. So let
your voice be heard. Let what you're learning and the lessons you're learning
bless everybody else on the call. So let's do a little dialogue around the
first three agreements before we go.
Before we go into the fourth agreement, questions, comments, ah-ha's, yes, I can hear you.
Okay, this is Janice.
You know, it's really amazing listening to this so far. It's like listening to what I teach in my networking class.
So I have been teaching people to do what I'm not doing.
I've been teaching them to not take it personal. I've been teaching them to not assume.
I've been teaching them to ask questions.
I've been teaching them it's not about you, it's about everybody else.
I have been teaching them that you have to, networking, there's a lot of lies and things out there of what it is
just because you can speak or talk doesn't mean you know how to network.
And I'm teaching all the same things you're telling me right now that I'm obviously not living in my own life.
I must know them in order to teach them to other people.
And so it really opened my eyes that I already know these stuff. I already know these answers.
I just need to start practicing it.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. Thank you for sharing that, Janice.
That's a really honest look at things, you know.
I believe most of us, you know, we've got the spirit of God in us.
We do know deep down in the truth. We just have forgotten.
And I really believe that's a huge part of transformation is just really remembering.
Remembering who we really are. Remembering, you know.
So that's really powerful.
And I also know Janice that we teach that which we most need to learn.
And when we opened the call, I was sharing, man, whatever you teach, you are going to get tested.
Either I'm more aware right now or the testing is stronger.
I can't tell you the truth on that.
But what I know is almost daily, I am tempted to make an assumption or take something personally.
And maybe once you're so aware of it, you realize how many times a day that this is happening.
But it also, you know, as you grow in spiritual maturity.
And by the way, that's really the goal of all of this is for us to grow in the image of Christ.
We're told we have the mind of Christ.
We're told that we can do greater things than Christ.
We're told that we're being molded and shaped into that.
So to bring up the Christ within you to do that takes this awareness.
And when you're blessed to have spiritually mature people around you,
I can tell you that the level of communication is such a beautiful thing that you actually can proceed through very hard things.
And you can grow and you can have your character looked at.
You can have your blemishes looked at without being attacked, without having to have your defenses come up.
And you can truly mature by applying these things.
And so I happen to have close friends that are applying this.
And we're able to use it as a way to grow each other.
And it is the single most beautiful thing that I've ever experienced.
Mature, godly communication, which I've not experienced personally in my relationships.
99% of my relationships in my life I have not experienced.
So it's a novel thing as I'm experiencing it right now in my life.
And it's such a beautiful thing.
I will often tell my friends, thank you for being so spiritually mature
and having such a spiritually mature conversation.
So you know what, we're called to be leaders.
We're called to bring the kingdom of God to earth.
So we're called to live this.
We're called to be this.
It's not in our doing, it's in our being.
So we're truly called to show what this looks like.
And the world doesn't know.
It knows unhealthy communication.
It knows defensiveness.
It knows protection.
It knows hurt and woundedness.
It knows fear-based communication.
And this is how most people that you interact with on a daily basis.
So if we can begin modeling this and teaching this by our life, by our very being,
I truly believe we can bring a lot of healing to the planet.
I think we can bring so much healing to relationships.
Thank you Janice for for being honest in that assessment being willing to look at your life and being willing to be a
forerunner in
In bringing this in modeling it in in who you are
It's not our words, but it's who we are so thank you Janice that that was just powerful someone else
I'd love to hear your feedback
Someone else I'd love to hear from you
I find it really interesting, but if we're talking about the difference in the dictionary
As you're going through and you're learning about words and again, you should know my business is a lot about words and how you can
Really turn their business around by what you're saying over yourself and you're and others
And so I find that so when you're going and learning your vocabulary, you're learning it out of
Out of the older version. Is that correct? Yeah. Yeah
When you look up education
You'll see what I mean
The new version the new version of education is you know, basically look at your head as a as a giant
You know something that has to be poured into crack open your skull and start dumping as much as you can in as fast as
You can that's our version of education right now when you look at the original one and
all that it encompasses
All that it encompasses
You'll begin to see that we've we've just simply lost sight and I could do that with so many words
And when you I very often I go back and look up the original meaning of a word. So for example
Want is a word that I'm working very hard to remove from my vocabulary. I'm at least at the level of
conscious
Incompetence or competence somewhere in between there meaning I'm aware of it every time I say the word want
It's just like a red light goes on. I'm aware of it, even though it still slips out
want
means extreme lack
That's why David said in Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want and it has to do with lack
I shall not lack and so we're going around saying I just want this I just want that and we're speaking lack over our life
So that's an example nice is another I used to go around all the time and say well
I'm just trying to play nice when I was going through my divorce
I just want to play nice and someone said really I think you ought to look up the original word for nice
Ladies and gentlemen listening to this call
If you look up the original origin, you've got to get to the etymology of a word
You got to get to what was its original language?
What did it mean in the original if it came from Latin if it most of our vocabulary comes from Latin or Greek?
okay, it's one of the two for the most part and
So you go back to the Latin root of it or you go back to the Greek of nice or within the Latin nice actually
comes from a French word if I'm not mistaken and
You'll go back and you'll see what it says and you won't be walking and wanting to be nice anymore
You'll remove that. So do you see how that happens? And then then there's just things that we claim
We call it my
cancer
My diabetes, so there's things that we just claim in a vocabulary
That also we come into agreement in that way. So thanks Candace. Yeah, it's it's really changed my life
I I home educated my kids and
Whatever subject I was teaching them if it was chemistry if it was, you know, English if it was Bible
I always I told them every single subject
Has a
Vocabulary you want to master a subject which is how the early education system was you'd be put in a library
With floor-to-ceiling books and you would study everything from architecture to you know, anthropology
whatever you would study every subject and all you had to do was understand the
Vocabulary of a subject and you can begin to master it and this is why I share that
I believe in the creation account biblical creation account
this is why Adam was put in the garden and
He was he was told to begin naming
Because he was told that he was to take dominion and part of taking dominion was to use his vocabulary
To create and and master and take dominion. So good good question Candace. Thank you. Thank you
anybody else
Questions comments aha's before we get into the fourth agreement here
Questions comments aha's come on. This is a great time. It's for the benefit of the whole group
Got real quiet. Are you guys still on the line?
Hey, Brandon, it's Christine.
OK, Christine, hi.
OK, I'm going to be really transparent and really
vulnerable here, but maybe someone else
will benefit from this.
So a lot of us have grown up with parents
who instill disagreements in us.
And what I'm finding is that, particularly my father
has instilled things in me that I find that, you know,
I have like, there's times when I talk to him
and I do well, I don't like let, you know,
that old garbage stick with me.
But then there's other times, I think
it's just potential ways, you know, that we think.
But it just tears me apart.
And so how do you overstand that?
How do you overcome that?
It is the process that scripture calls
take every thought captive.
And part of that is being so in touch with your feelings.
Understand that God gave you feelings.
Because if a feeling comes over you where you just literally
feel sick, or that feeling in the pit of your stomach,
that knot, or the heaviness in your heart,
or, you know, a lot of the vocabulary we say,
I have a gut feeling, or it just ripped my heart out,
or, you know, all of those things, becoming aware.
Like I said, the first thing they saw when they came out
of Egypt, you know, were those 12 fountains.
It's awareness.
So what's happening for you right now
is you're beginning to become aware.
So when you become aware of the feelings that you're having,
and then what's the thought associated with that,
and then take that and line it up with the word of God
and with truth and begin to ask questions,
then you begin to change.
And so part of that, when your dad speaks,
you come from a place of love and honor and respect
that he's your dad.
You come from a place of asking the same questions
you ask of yourself.
Is it true?
Can I absolutely know it's true, what he just said?
And also coming from the place that I've
shared with Dr. Arlene Taylor, that she says, you know,
when she speaks, she'll say, in my brain's opinion.
And you could say the same thing, you know,
in your brain's opinion, right?
And so this is a powerful way to just begin
to take every thought captive and decide which ones.
When you ask, is it true?
And what would I be without this thought?
Well, I wouldn't have the anxiety.
I wouldn't have the depression.
I wouldn't feel so negative about myself.
I wouldn't be.
So then you begin to say, well, then is there any reason
that you can think of for holding onto this belief system?
Or are you willing to release it?
And so then it comes into choice.
And that in itself is just a very freeing exercise,
right there, just by doing that.
Does that answer your question?
It's the same process of transformation
that I talk about all the time, which
is moving from unconscious incompetence.
That means you don't even know what you don't know.
You don't even know the belief systems you're walking in.
You're just walking in them, and you're assuming they're true.
And you don't realize how many times we're making assumptions
or we're doing all that.
And then you begin to move to conscious incompetence,
that at least you're aware.
You see it happening.
And so anyway, you begin to move where you become aware,
conscious, conscious incompetence.
And then you begin to make choices very deliberate
about your vocabulary.
And then from there, you can begin making the changes
and adopt a new vocabulary.
For example, you'll often see me, if I do say the word want,
I'll very quickly replace it with desire, which
is a much more biblical word.
And so you just begin to consciously begin
to choose what you believe.
It's like the woman that I was talking to when
I was speaking at the event.
And she says, I just don't know what
my passion and my purpose is.
I just don't know.
And how can I know?
And she was just distraught and crying
because she doesn't know her passion and purpose.
Well, I believe the Holy Spirit gave me an insight into that
because I saw right through it that that's not based on truth.
She actually does know.
And she knows well.
And it's more that she has shut it down
because of the words that have been spoken over her
and the belief systems that have been told to her
that she came into agreement with and made her own belief
system.
And as soon as I began to speak all of that,
she said, you're absolutely right.
She started crying, and it gave her breakthrough.
And so a lot of this is just awareness.
You come out of Egypt.
You're willing to come out.
Don't be conformed.
Come out.
Everything that medicine tells you.
is not based on truth. I'm doing a teaching tonight with Dr. Jonathan in the Health and
Prosperity Program. We're going to give you the truth about mammograms. And I bet you
just accepted that every woman over 30 should have a mammogram. A lot of you, I'm making
an assumption, many of you haven't, but a bunch of people in our population have assumed
that that's true. There's another side that perhaps you need to do some research. Same
thing with immunizations. You've assumed that they're both safe and they're effective. Perhaps
they're neither. So there's these belief systems, and I'm just talking medicine because I've
been preparing for the last couple of days for this call that I'm going to be doing tonight.
So I can take it in any area. We do this in theology, we do it in relationships, we just
make these beliefs and these assumptions. Does that make sense? Yeah. So I really believe
that the key is thinking about our thinking. It's about awareness. Once the awareness kicks
in, then we can move in a place of choice. And once we begin making deliberate choice,
and then if you can have awareness and understanding what I teach in the Manifest Program of really
understanding, understanding your thoughts, understanding your feelings, understanding
your words, understanding the system, the strategies in the system for truly manifesting
your goals, dreams, and desires. Okay, any last comments? And then I'm going to move
forward here before we run out of time with the fourth agreement. Any questions, comments?
I couldn't hear that. Could you say it louder?
I was being a smarty-pants because I didn't think you could hear me.
Oh, okay. Well, now you spoke it, so let's hear it.
Well, I was saying, yes, how can I make the day have more time in it that nobody else
knows about because maybe it's because we don't manage time. Everybody gets the same
amount of hours in a day, but I find that what I want to accomplish, you know, what
I've told myself is important to accomplish, I don't always get it done. So I was being
a smarty-pants with my friend, Maureen, who just got here late last night and saying,
yeah, how can we make our days have extra time in it that nobody else knows about so
we can get our things done? Got it. Got it.
I'm sorry. That's okay. I got you. That's funny.
But you already are walking in a level of awareness because you realize that first of
all, we all have the same 24 hours. But second of all, your actions in your life are
demonstrating what really is important to you. So you really are doing your priorities.
You just are trying to convince yourself that the other things were really your
priorities when in fact you may be putting them off. And I would propose that
some of the ones you're putting off are because either they're not in line with
your innate energy advantage. They're not in line with your brain energy. And so
they're just requiring flat out too much energy. And you're thinking that you need
to do it. And that itself is very often a false belief system. Number one, you're
not operating in your unique gifting the way that God made you. But number two, the
very belief that you think you have to do it can also be based on a false belief
system. I was with a woman at a retreat and she was just going on and on and on
about all the things that she felt that she had to do and how exhausted. And she
was in the middle of painting and responsible for painting her house and
responsible for this and responsible for that and responsible for this. And I could
just look at her and go, I'm thinking so much of that is just self-imposed. And
again, has nothing to do with truth and has nothing to do with God. It has to do
with what makes you feel important right now and how are you getting strokes for
people to say that you really are doing a good job. How are you playing martyr so
that people give you what you want to hear that says, oh my gosh, I don't know
how you do all of that. You're such a wonder woman. How do I know that? Because
I lived that for so many years. It's a way of getting validation, but it's
insanity and it's an insane belief system. Do you know that there was a season when
I was running a couple countries, companies, felt like countries, couple
companies and a foundation and I was doing that while homeschooling my kids,
while leading a high school speech and debate club, while leading a Bible study,
while making sure that there was meals on the table and trying to be the wife and
the mother, while trying to keep my body in shape. Do you know what that is? That's
called insanity. And yet, you know my false thinking? I would cry every day.
Night that what you're saying Jill that I couldn't get it all done and I would ask God there must be a way God
Please help me to be able to do all of these things
because I was coming from the assumption that a that I was even supposed to be doing all of those things because it was based on
The assumption of what a woman does and what a wife does and what a mother does and what I was responsible for
You get that so much of what we're putting on ourselves doesn't even fit with your purpose
With your vision Jill with your brainly Jill with and so so much of it
We just start doing more than we're supposed to do and we become little martyrs little little
Victims so that everyone will feel sorry for us and by the way busyness is glorified in this culture
If you're in a business conversation and you talk about how busy you are and all the things you're doing you're gonna be so respected
Try talking about how you spent half the day meditating getting ready for the next season in your life
And you're gonna be looked at like whatever
Very often not by all I'm making an assumption, but Berlin just called me on the assumptions. I'm making so I'm trying to catch myself here
Okay, let's go on to the fourth agreement
the fourth agreement
Which is always
Do your best and Jill?
Thank you for your feedback because you just you just right here just led me into the fourth agreement so beautifully
So I think God used you at this moment to just share that it's perfect segue
The fourth agreement is always do your best now. What does that mean?
see I I had the belief system of superwoman and
I believed that it was
my responsibility to be in perfect shape and to have the meals in place and to raise my kids and to provide the
Education, you know to be actually to be more specific. I took on the belief system of perfection
That I was supposed to be the perfect mom the perfect wife the perfect, etc, etc, right?
Okay, perfect Christian. Where did that come from?
It came from an agreement. See we're talking about the four agreements. Where did it come from?
it came from an agreement of the broken childhood that I had the
Domestic violence and the alcoholism and the drug abuse and the infidelity and all that I saw growing up and a little
six seven eight year old agreement that said I will never
Have a family or a marriage like that
I'll be a perfect wife. I'll be a perfect
So here I've been driven not for a year not for a week or a month or two Jill driven by that
Perception belief system mindset
for decades
Decades that I was completely emotionally spiritually physically fried
Because of a belief system that God didn't put on me
God didn't say I was supposed to do that
I'm crying to God to help me to be able to juggle all these things that had nothing to do with God
So the fourth agreement always do your best. What does that really mean?
well
let me start with an opening from the book and then we'll get some biblical basis and
Kind of wrap it up around and and we'll be talking about this over the next few weeks the fourth agreement
Always do your best is this is what he says?
There's just one more agreement
But it's the one that allows the other three to become deeply ingrained habits
So this is the practical application of the first three
Okay, the fourth agreement is about the action of the first three
I'm gonna pause for a second. You remember I told you the the
Or you may or may not remember if you've been in any of my seminars
I give you the formula that your mindset plus your skill set plus your actions produce your
Results so we're needing to make changes in our mindset. We're needing to make changes in our skill set
we're needing to make changes in our actions and the more we make changes in those three it directly affects the level of
Results that we walk in financial results peace results or whatever. So he's talking about this one is about the action part of that equation
So he says the fourth agreement is about the action of the first three always do your best
under any
Circumstance always do your best now watch this no more and
No less
See why your segue to this Jill no more. No less. Keep in mind
Your best is never going to be the same
from one moment to the next
Everything is alive and
Changing all of the time. So your best will sometimes be higher
quality and other times it will not be as good. When you wake up refreshed and
energized in the morning your best will be better than when you're tired at
night. Your best will be different when you're healthy as opposed to sick or
sober as opposed to drunk. Your best will depend on whether you're feeling
wonderful and happy or upset angry and jealousy. In your everyday moods your
best can change from one moment to another from one hour to the next from
one day to another. Your best will also change over time as you build the habit
of the four new agreements your best will become better than it used to be.
Regardless of the quality keep doing your best no more no less than your best.
If you try too hard to do more than your best you will spend more energy than is
needed and in the end your best will not be enough. When you overdo you deplete
your body and go against yourself and it will take you longer to accomplish your
goal. But if you do less than your best you subject yourself to frustration,
self-judgment, guilt and regrets. That's Don Miguel Ruiz from the four agreements.
Well let's see some of the scriptures that might shed some light on this and
some practical examples that might shed some lights on these. Can someone look up
Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 10 Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 10
Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 10 this was written by King Solomon the wisest man
and it's got a very powerful word and someone else could be looking up well
well Ecclesiastes 9 10 is being looked up someone else could look up Colossians
3 23 Colossians 3 23 all right so does anyone have Ecclesiastes chapter 9 10
that you could read out loud please chapter 9 verse 10 Ecclesiastes chapter
9 verse 10 did someone find that one good morning Frank I was wondering when
the voice of God was going to read it
all right and he's talking there the shield the place of the dead the place
where the body is is is lying because I you know I believe there's more going on
in the next life but it's interesting what he says there where he says
whatever your hand finds to do do it with all your might I would just change
what he just said right here whatever your hand finds to do do your best you
know part of that is something I learned from Jim Rohn mmm 25 years ago or more
and it has to do with being present it has to do with being in the present
moment and he said when you work don't think about play when you play don't
think about work part of doing your best is being fully present in what you're
doing part of doing your best to seeing the vision and the purpose in what
you're doing and part of doing your best is having a biblical basis for work
which by the way that's one of the things we've been totally screwed up on
and as Christians we're totally screwed up our our view of work in this culture
is messed up it's something we think we need to avoid we're all shooting for
retirement we're all looking at heaven as the ultimate retirement plan we're
waiting for the first bus out of here instead of bringing the kingdom of God
to earth like we're told that Jesus talked more about the kingdom than
anything else here on earth when he was asked how to pray he said our father
which heart in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done
where in heaven uh-uh where did he say thy kingdom come thy will be done on
earth so if you begin to understand work as part of advancing the kingdom of
bringing and he talked about whatever is bound in the kingdom you need to bind on
earth there's so much teaching on this that we've completely missed on the joy
and the recreational
Ability the recreating ability the ability to
To create and to live out your purpose in work
So did someone find Colossians 323? I'm going to address some of these things in this section, but Colossians
323 did anybody find that
Colossians 323
Yeah
Whatever you do
Work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord not for human masters
Keep going 24
Since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward
It is the Lord Christ you are serving
Okay, beautiful. Thank you, so
Colossians 323 says whatever I'm reading from the Amplified whatever may be your task
Whatever is put in front of you
That you've chosen to put on your schedule if you're gonna do it do your best always do your best is this agreement?
Whatever it is work at it hardly
From the soul as something done for the Lord and not for men
what if you can begin to tie in your work and your purpose and
Your God-given design your God-given purpose your God-given passion
what if you understand that your work is advancing the kingdom would that change the way that you do it and
Knowing that there is an inheritance for that and that the one you're actually serving is the Lord
Let me take another quote from Don Miguel Ruiz, and then I want to get some more scripture. He says this
He says doing your best is
Taking action because
You love it
This whole idea of work being drudgery and hating it is lie-based thinking
this whole idea of working for money is the very like like
What's his name I can't think of his name right now says working for money is the worst reason for working
This says doing your best is taking
Action because you love it not because you're expecting a reward including a paycheck
Most people do exactly the opposite
I'm gonna ask you to reconsider this week work the definition of work the role of work in your life
You're spending the majority of your time in work. I'm gonna challenge you to begin to have a biblical and a truth-based
View of work, we've got some ground to cover over the next few weeks. This is very very powerful
I also recommend a book. I don't know if it's still in print, but I think it is
And it's by Dennis Peacock. It's spelled P E A C O C K E
I got this so long ago probably 25 years ago, but I'm assuming it's still on Amazon. It's called doing
business God's Way and
It's it's
Almighty and sons is in a big gold plaque Almighty and sons talking about God and you doing business God's way
It'll it'll get you thinking about work a little differently
And then if you want to come from a perspective of the supernatural becoming natural, I encourage you to look up some books
There's three of them that I'm aware of that will inspire you
Transform you and they're called God at work and it's the at sign like we use like at a website address
so God at
Work look up those books on Amazon order them and you will read stories and stories and stories. You'll be inspired
It's very easy reading of
people in huge
businesses
Earning a lot that are bringing about the kingdom of God on earth loving what they're doing
Experiencing the supernatural in the marketplace and
Just just begin now to remember we said at the beginning how we're transformed is to begin to think about your
Thinking and that includes how you think about work. Is it really a four-letter word?
Okay back to what he said
He said doing your best is taking action because you love it not because you're expecting a reward
Most people do exactly the opposite
They only take action when they expect a reward and they don't enjoy the action and that's the reason why they don't do their best
for example
Most people go to work every day just thinking a payday and the money they will get from the work
They are doing we're programmed that in our school system get a good job so you can buy the things you want
Okay, they can hardly wait for Friday or Saturday
Whatever
day they receive their money and can take time off they're working for the
reward and as a result they resist work
ok pause think about what I've taught about resistance
alright so they you're working but you're resisting word work so Jill some
of those things on your list they're not getting done because you're resisting
them okay just little little tip right there as a result they resist work they
try to avoid the action through procrastinating I'm adding through
procrastination or whatever they try to avoid the action and it becomes more
difficult and they don't do their best they work so hard all week long
suffering the work suffering the action not because they like to but because
they feel they have to they have to work because they have to pay the rent because
they have to support their family they have all that frustration and when they
do receive their money they are unhappy they have two days to rest to do what
they want to do and what do they do they try to escape they get drunk because
they don't like themselves they don't like their life there are many ways that
we hurt ourselves when we don't like who we are on the other hand if you take
action just for the sake of doing it without expecting a reward you will find
you enjoy every action you do rewards will come but you're not attached to the
reward you can get even more than you would have imagined for yourself without
expecting a reward if we like what we do we always do our best then we are really
enjoying our life we're having fun we don't get bored and we don't have
frustrations so this this fourth agreement you know the first three I
believe really set us free with the inner turmoil and anxiety and the drama
and they really begin to break to break down a lot of the communication
breakdowns to stop a lot of the unnecessary division and you know
sabotage in the first three this fourth agreement I believe will begin to
redefine who you are and what you're doing with your time first Thessalonians
1 verse 2 he says we're ever giving thanks to God for all of you continually
mentioning you when engaged in our prayers recalling unceasingly before our
God and Father your work energized by faith and service motivated by love and
unwavering hope in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ that was from the
amplified version first Thessalonians 1 verses 2 & 3 what you see in the work
here they're they're working but their work is different their work is
energized can you imagine energized work potentiated work energized by what by
faith motivated what's the motivation in your work motivated by love motivated by
hope well right there you see what does it say three things remain faith
hope and love well in the amplified version all three of those are in those
verse around work work that has faith hope and love built in is an energizing
work that makes you come alive you know I guess you could call prospering all
things my business I guess you could call it my work and I get paid for doing
it but I am so energized I there's nothing when I get in front and start
teaching these truths I feel like I was born for this moment people can see the
change in my physiology they can see the change in my energy they can see my joy
go up I feel like I was born for this this is what I believe is when we truly
get in contact with truth about what you're supposed to be doing quote-unquote
and and there you see faith hope and love all in the same verse around work
Wow powerful let me give you a little note there's more parables about
stewardship of material goods and personal talents in other words being a
steward how you spend how you invest how you use your talents in the New
Testament then concerning heaven or any other topic here's a quote from the book
I talked about doing business God's way he says Christianity and the whole world
have been catastrophically affected by two things first the belief that true
spirituality can primarily only exist in poverty and second that's what makes a
lot of you have a love-hate relationship with money is you haven't thought about
your thinking and that belief system you adapted it's in your subconscious most
of you if you have it
And second, that we must reject the material world or things.
That it's not okay to have things in your life.
You know, when I go to Kansas City, Missouri, to the father's farm,
and I stay in the home of the owners, Danny and the stewards,
Danny and Rhonda Calhoun, I experience life in the kingdom on Earth.
And you know what? They are living in beautiful,
what most would consider mansions.
They're not taking any money from the ministry to have that.
They've walked in the flow of God providing.
All the ministry goes to help sex traffic girls.
They take a salary of $1,000 a month, and it's not from the ministry.
They always have. And yet, if you walk in these homes,
they could be on the cover of Home and Garden or designer magazines.
And the food that they pick from the garden is so glorious.
The meals are amazing. We sit at the big tables.
And the laughter and the joy and all that is there,
and it's not with stress, and it's not with striving,
because I believe they understand this principle,
that they are not separate.
They do not have to live in poverty, and things are not bad,
and that things can flow to you.
And God said that he came to give you the abundant life, a life of overflow.
And so these will be some of the thinking.
When we talk about always do your best,
and I'm going to be tying in with our view of work, that we'll begin looking.
I want you to consider something. Exodus 31, verses 1 through 3.
Exodus 31, verses 1 through 3. The first spirit-filled people,
the first time we see the Holy Spirit falling on people in Moses's congregation,
they were the artisans and the craftsmen.
It was for their work that the Spirit of God fell,
because they were artisans and craftsmen.
I want you to, again, I desire that you look at the vocabulary.
When you say the church, where does that word come from?
What does it mean? Some of you have thought that the church is what you see on the corner
with the cross or the steeple, that it's the place you go to worship on Sunday mornings.
Some of you have gotten a little bigger than the four walls,
and you've said it's the body of Christ.
Do you know the word for church?
Could you give me the Greek word for church?
What is it? Ecclesia. It's where we get the word ecclesiastical.
Ecclesia, E-K-K-L-E-S-I-A.
Does anybody know what that Greek word means?
What the church means? It means those called to rule.
Those called to rule. Interesting. Go back to Genesis, to the creation account.
What's the first thing that God told man when he created them?
That we're made in the image of our maker, in the image and likeness of God,
and he gave us dominion over planet Earth, over all the work of our hands.
Isn't it interesting? Dominion, rule, same word.
That's the church, ecclesiastical. Is the church living as those called to rule right now,
or are they hiding in a corner trying to escape, waiting for the next train out?
Do they live six days one way,
and on the seventh day they go and sing some songs to try to mask the pain that they're feeling?
Never understanding who they are, and whose they are, and the purpose they're on the planet?
I encourage you. I'm going to give you one last thought,
and we'll probably repeat it next week because it's deep and it's heavy.
I'm going to talk about the concept of energy leaks next week.
I teach it in my Blind Spots Workshop. Energy leaks, the cause of fatigue.
You know, the most common thing I see in a health challenge that people are looking for is energy.
They're so tired. They have so much fatigue,
and you know that every physical thing that you're experiencing has a spiritual,
emotional counterpart. It's what I teach in the Health and Prosperity Program,
so that you can truly get breakthrough, and be at your ideal weight,
and your ideal energy level, and all of that.
It's a very powerful, it's one of the most powerful coaching that we do.
And the cause of fatigue, I'm going to take you to two books real quick.
One is by Louise Hay called Heal Your Body,
and these books that I'm going to take you to help you get clear on the spiritual,
emotional cause of the physical thing you're experiencing.
So if you look up the word fatigue as the problem, as the health challenge,
if you will, if you look up fatigue in Louise Hay's Heal Your Body,
she'll tell you that the probable cause is, listen carefully, think about what we've said so far.
The probable cause is resistance.
If you're fatigued, you've probably been operating in resistance. Resistance,
boredom, lack of love for what one does. You feeling a lot of fatigue? Look at the
level of resistance in your life. Look at the level of boredom with your work or
what you do and look at the amount of love that you have for what you're doing
and you may come to the probable cause of the fatigue. Change that. Change a new
thinking pattern that says I'm enthusiastic about life. Enthusiastic
comes from the root word, again look at me looking at words, right? Entheos. En
means within. Theos, God. I am enthusiastic. I have God within. About
life and I'm filled with energy and enthusiasm. You know I love Feelings
Buried Alive Never Die by Carol Truman. So let's turn over to that book and we
look at fatigue. Same thing, fatigue. She says resisting life, feeling bored, not
enjoying your place in life. Experiencing burnout in quotes in one's job or
relationship. You can apply this to work, you can apply it to your relationship.
So feeling bored, not enjoying your place in life, experiencing burnout in one's
job or relationship. Resisting life. Those are the probable causes of fatigue. So
we'll talk about that. We'll pick up with energy leaks next week. We're out of time
now but begin now. Remember to think about your thinking. Be transformed, not
conformed, but transformed by the renewing of your mind. Be willing to
think about your thinking. Are you feeling fatigue? Would you be willing to
think about your thinking about your work and is it in line with truth? Is it
in line with God's Word or with tradition? Is it rely, is it based on
belief systems and agreements that you've made? That life is hard, that you
have to work hard, that the only way you can get a lot of money is working hard,
that you're not supposed to enjoy your work. What kind of belief systems are
you bringing to this that might be a major energy leak to you and giving you
fatigue? Because the scripture I read is Jesus came that we might have life and
we might have it abundantly. He came that we might have joy and we might have it
abundantly. So in Jesus name I'm praying for you to step into the abundant life
Ephesians talks about the good life that was prepared for you before the
foundation of the world. I'm praying you'll begin to step into that knowledge
of who you are and whose you are, what you're called to do and begin to
eliminate some of this resistance in your life that you can truly enjoy. You
know I made this comment to a friend yesterday or the day before and I said
you know most people never enjoy their life. Life, the sacred gift that you've
been given, the sacred time on this planet that's supposed to be abundant,
that's supposed to be overflowing, that's supposed to be filled with joy and most
people are never enjoying their life. They're living for some illusion that is
in the future and the future never comes. They're living their life saying well
just as soon as I finish school I'll be happy, just as soon as I get married or
find my life partner I'll be happy, just as soon as I have kids I'll be happy,
just as soon as the kids are grown and gone I'll be happy, just as soon as I
retire. Are you resisting life? Are you putting off life? Is your life
always in the future or are you stepping into this divine moment that God has
given you to walk in gratitude and joy and abundance? I pray that abundant life
for you this week because it's your inheritance. God created you to enjoy
this life. It was never meant to be drudgery. At least that's my belief
system and the opinion of this teacher. So I love you all and we will see you
next week. Same time, same place. Again you can get replays of all of these at
bit.ly
