And welcome, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, depending where you are listening
to, welcome to the God, money, and me masterclass.
I am Brenda Byers, going to be sharing with you today, deep from my heart, the nuggets,
the wisdom, the tools, the strategies, the things that I have gleaned on this super important
subject going to be sharing with you today, going to go ahead, I'm going to open with
just a blessing, a prayer, and then I'll start the slides.
And I will be giving you the slides afterwards, you'll get the replay afterwards.
So you don't have to take too frantic notes.
What's more important is application.
Just grab the things that you know you can apply right away.
The rest will be there for you.
So let me just start with prayer.
Father, I just thank you for every single woman that is here, every man that is here.
I thank you both live and on the replay.
And I just ask that this day that you will open their spiritual senses.
I'm asking for supernatural breakthrough.
I'm asking for supernatural revelation.
I'm asking for supernatural understanding and courage and power to take action.
I'm asking that this will be a day that they will always remember.
I'm asking third John too.
I'm asking, I'm declaring, I'm believing for third John too, that they would prosper in
every single area of their life, even as their soul prospers.
All right.
In Jesus name, amen.
Let's rock.
Let's roll.
I'm going to share the screen.
We're going to get right into this.
Let me share.
You guys should be seeing this.
Okay.
Pardon that.
Here it comes.
Here we go.
All right.
And welcome, welcome, welcome again to the God money and me.
Do you love that combination?
I want you first just to think about that.
When I started teaching this, you'll notice the copyright.
I started teaching this in 2012 and now it is even more up leveled, but I got the revelation
that these were three things we tended to keep very separate and separation was keeping
us from enjoying the abundance and the prosperity that when you bring all of these together,
God money and me.
And I want to let you know right up front that each of you are coming from different
backgrounds and I understand that.
Most of you know that I'm going to be really sharing a lot from a Judeo Christian background
in the sense I'm going to be bringing a lot of the Hebrew scriptures to you because they're
so powerful on this subject, but I'm also going to be bringing to you science, quantum
physics, and no matter where you're coming from, whatever philosophy, whatever belief
that you're coming from, you're loved, you're welcomed.
And I'm telling you that these principles will work for you.
So let's get it rolling.
So does this sound like you, do you ever say these things, feel these things?
Do you say things like, well, money is not that important.
Do you ever say that?
You know, that's, that's not what's really important.
Money can't buy happiness.
You know, I'm just, I just want enough.
I'm not trying to be greedy.
Do you say something like that?
Money's not important.
And yet when you look at the reality of your life, do you find that you spend most of your
thoughts and energy trying to get more money, more stuff?
Yes.
Do you feel frustrated?
You know, does, does more income come in and then so do more expenses and you just can't
seem to get out of this pattern?
I heard it said once by a multimillionaire, we're just broke at different levels.
That was very eyeopening when I heard that in my twenties, do you find that you're spending
lots and lots of money on courses and programs and coaching to grow your business, grow your
skillset, grow your income, and you're still no further along?
Do you feel stuck?
Like you just can't seem to get ahead.
Do you feel
call on your life? Do you feel like there's so much more to your life? Do you have dreams?
Do you have a vision that you long to fulfill? Do you have a sense that there's so much more?
Do you desire to live an abundant, prosperous life and walk with God, and yet it's all kind
of separated? Your spiritual life feels different than your work life, feels different than your
family life, feels different than your business life. It all seems like you don't know how to
bring it all together, and you feel perhaps like you have so many compartments, like you're living
many lives, like you're one person at nine in the morning, and you're a different person at
five in the evening, and a different person on Sunday. Do you find this? Well, today, this
webinar is for you, especially if you're not sure how to get there, wherever there is. Of course,
if you wrote your intentions, you know where there is. In today's webinar, you're going to discover,
we're going to dig into how your eight-year-old beliefs about money formed. How did you even get
your ideas that are influencing you right now about money? How did you come up with your
perception of money today, and not to get stuck there, how can you change those perceptions, those
beliefs that have been controlling you consciously and often unconsciously? You're going to learn.
We're going to go step by step. I have really made an effort as I created this. Like I said,
I have been researching and living this experience for really the last 30 years, my whole life, but
the last 30 years. I've been teaching this course since 2012, and yet, so much dropped in me about
that I needed to add, that I've been spending weeks up-leveling it for you here today, listening to
this. I kept on taking out anything that maybe was interesting, maybe was a great quote, maybe
was eye-opening, took it out because there's already so much material. I said, how can they
apply that? How can they use it right now? This is not meant to be fluff. This is meant to be a resource
guide for you to truly create transformation. How can you change so that you can charge
more? I know some of you said, I want to be able to charge more. I'm not asking what I know I'm worth
compared to the value I'm giving. I want to make more. I want a greater income. I desire to
live more. I desire to have a bigger impact. I'm tired of playing small. Today, you're going to learn
how to do that. We're going to talk about the laws of prosperity, and you're going to leave with
practical proven tools and systems you can start using right away. First, let's get rid of
misconceptions, things that we use to excuse ourselves why we're in the situation we're in.
It is not about your background. There are people who are raised in very wealthy, wealthy backgrounds
who are extremely lacking, living in lack right now. It is not about your environment. In the same
neighborhood, there are some that are struggling. There are some that have ease and grace. There are
some that are abundant and enjoying their wealth. There are some that can never seem to get out of
lack and stress and angst. In the same environment, it doesn't matter your age. It doesn't matter your
family. It doesn't matter what business you're in. Yes, there's always opportunities that rise up and
new opportunities to prosper, but you can prosper in any business using these. It's not your education.
We can have very highly educated. We can have no education who are extremely successful. I watched
my father make millions many times in his life, and he had like a fourth grade education.
It's not your education. It's not having capital. When you learn and understand these
principles, the capital will come to you. All the things that maybe you were thinking,
oh, this is not for me. I can't prosper. I can't do this. Let's get rid of some of those
misconceptions. Prospering is based on thinking a certain way.
There are thoughts that are going to lead to lack and
thoughts that are going to lead to you prospering. You've got to know the difference and doing
certain things. You hear the saying sometimes practice makes perfect. No, no, no, no. If you're
practicing the wrong thing, it's not creating perfection. It's just repeating the same mistakes.
Okay. So I'm a salsa dancer and I have found that there's certain things I have been practicing and
practicing year in and year out that were not advancing me. And it was not until I learned
the fundamentals, until I got awareness, until I understood the rules that govern doing this
successfully, when I learned that every step had a purpose, I had no clue. I was just taking the
steps. I had no idea that they were different and that each one had a purpose. Well, it's the
same thing for money. You perhaps have developed certain actions and you think, well, if I just
somehow press on and I work harder. No, no, no, no, no. If you keep working harder, doing the same
thing, what's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing and expecting different results.
So today we're going to talk about thinking a certain way that leads to prosperity and doing
a certain way that leads to prosperity. But you see, the problem is we were never taught.
We weren't taught how to think in order to be prosperous. We weren't taught the specific actions
and habits that truly work. Instead, how many of you were taught this? I was. Just get a good
education and then get a good job. Work hard. Get a good education and then work hard. Well, how many
people got a good education and worked hard and they're just broke, educated, hard workers?
Think about it for a minute. Let this sink in. There's so many things that we've been believing.
And remember, a belief is simply a strongly held opinion. So you keep hearing things often. Your
parents start telling you from early on and the system keeps telling you from early on. Now, it is
important to get a great education. We'll talk about that. It is important to put in effort,
but it needs to be in the right way at the right time. So I was one of those.
At the age of 28, I was educated. I had multiple degrees. I had degrees in business. I had degrees
in nutrition. I'd done all the coursework to go to medical school. I was in the master's program,
the MFCC, marriage and family counseling program. I had a 3.9 GPA. So I had education. I was a hard
worker. I had a full-time job. Let me remind you, it was a job from hell with a boss from hell. I
hated it. It made me cry every single day, but I was a hard worker. While I was going to school
at night, while I had a side hustle being in a network marketing company, I was a hard worker. Yes,
I was working. And when I got up in the morning, I was working. During my lunch hours, I was working.
In the evenings, I was working. And I loved God. I was a prayer warrior. I was praying and I was
crying quite often. So I worked. I prayed. I studied. I cried. But still, let me tell you, at age 28,
I was living in a one-bedroom apartment with no furniture. True story. I was married.
I was sleeping on the floor. I put a quilt on the floor. I had a cardboard box that I put a table
cloth over. And that was the dining table. I had one car, a brand, which often was F.O.R.D., Found
on the Road Dead. I'm telling you, about every third or fourth day, the car would completely
break down, be on the side of the road. And I didn't have the money for a tow truck or to fix it.
I would leave it there and simply cry. When it was working and I was able to drive to work,
I didn't go out to lunch. I took a sack lunch, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
and sat at the park where I would cry and get my bearings to go back.
to the job again.
Date night consisted when Taco Bell had six tacos for $5.
And we could split that.
This was my life, highly educated, hard worker.
If education was enough, it wasn't enough for me.
If hard work was enough, it wasn't enough for me.
If praying was enough, it was not.
I was living in lack until one day I attended a money seminar
by this man you see on the screen, Leland Val
VanderWaal.
Now, I didn't know who he was at the time.
I later learned he was Bob Proctor's mentor.
I didn't even know who Bob Proctor was,
but some of you do know him.
I attended his money seminar, and it rocked my world.
So much so that even with no money,
I found a way to get a coaching session with him.
You see, I believe so strongly in coaching.
Coaching has changed my life every step of the way.
So I hired him to coach me.
And I remember being at this big, beautiful hotel,
sitting out by the swimming pool,
nervous as all get out, sitting in front
of this big man who always wore these tight, beautiful coats.
And I said to him, he said, what is your question?
And I said, why will my checks never go above $2,200 a month?
You see, my side hustle was a network marketing company.
I had pushed.
I had worked.
I had prospected.
I had followed up.
I had gotten samples out.
I had hit the pavement.
I had done everything that I knew I could do.
And my checks got up to $2,200, which
allowed me to quit the job from hell.
But then they flatlined month in, month out.
Didn't matter how many meetings I did, how many prospects I had,
how many calls I made.
I was flatlined at $2,200.
Have any of you, I'm so curious, have any of you
that are listening live, have any of you
ever gotten stuck at an income level?
If you did, put it in the chat.
Put flatlined.
Flatlined.
If you know what I'm talking about, put the word flatlined.
And you just can't seem to break through.
So I said, why will my checks never go above $2,200?
Now, those of you now that are discerning me now,
many, many years later, I can see, even in the question,
you can see the challenge.
It wasn't, how can I raise my checks?
How can I increase my income?
It was, why will they never?
You see, I had made an internal decision
that they would never didn't know that I'd
made that internal thing.
And he said, tell me about your childhood.
Tell me a little bit about your father.
Well, I told him I grew up in a luxury community,
that I had a beautiful indoor swimming
pool with waterfalls that I loved right off my living room.
I told him that I was a horseback rider,
that I was in shows, really positioned
even to go to the Olympics.
I loved jumping in shows.
And I told him that my family was very wealthy.
We had lots of Hollywood parties in the home.
I would sit on the laps of actors,
and I'd meet them and see them.
There'd be limos bringing them in.
And so I told him that I really came from a place of abundance.
And what I got from that call, or that coaching meeting,
was awareness.
Awareness is the first step to transformation.
Now, he asked me, he asked me, and I
began to see, as he asked this question,
that my brain, my eight-year-old brain,
had connected money with arguing and chaos.
You know, you couldn't be in a single meal.
I hated mealtime.
It was always about money.
It was always stress.
And I'm very empath.
I can just pick up the wave.
And they had so much stress fighting about money
and how they were going to pay.
And I saw health problems happening and lots of alcoholism,
lots of drinking and lots of violence,
lots of domestic violence.
And so, you know, like this little kid in the picture,
not only would I cover my ears, I would hide under my bed,
I would hide in a closet.
I would, there was a beautiful Mexican nanny
that was like my mother named Licha,
who was such a godsend.
And she would take us to the back corner of a house
and just hover over us like a mother hen
as, you know, Christmas trees were going through windows
and ashtrays were going through fish tanks.
So there was neural, those of you that understand brain,
you understand trauma.
There was neural connections happening in my brain.
Money, opulence, all that I see,
wealth, abundance means like discord, chaos.
It means health problems.
My dad had his first heart attack at age 30.
So he made a million before the age of 30
and had his first heart attack by 30.
They didn't expect him to live past 40.
So seeing the ambulance coming
and seeing him go off on a stretcher
as a little eight-year-old, you know,
the constant alcoholism, the constant,
this was what my brain, the little synapses,
said money does all of this.
And I didn't know, as perhaps you don't know,
that most of our beliefs, our scripts about money
are formed between the ages of five and eight.
I have that picture right there of windows.
We had the window company,
had all our windows measured and in stock
because every week they were coming to replace windows.
So my eight-year-old brain,
my perception of life and money was
money makes people crazy, end of subject.
It makes them insane.
It gave my daddy heart attacks.
In fact, it takes my daddy away
because we had to move from the high gated communities
in Southern California,
and we had to move so that he could try
to not have heart attacks.
So we moved to Bass Lake, California,
but he still commuted.
He'd fly out on Monday
and he wouldn't get back till the weekend.
So money does all these things.
Money causes, you know, divorce.
And so, you know, it was not in my conscious mind
when I was working for money, when I was building,
when I was prospecting, I was ambitious.
I loved God.
I had no idea that this was running my finances.
Our little five to eight-year-old brain
is running our finances.
And on the other hand, I came up with my own beliefs, right?
Remember, beliefs are strongly held opinions
that people that are poor are virtuous and generous.
They're much more honest.
They're much more holy.
Rich people are greedy and disgusting
and crazy and poor people.
You know, you think about the image that we have,
you know, of a nun or of Mother Teresa.
And without knowing, I made an inner vow.
And I suspect that many of you have done the same.
Now, a nun will take a vow deliberately and consciously.
They know they're doing it.
They take the vow of poverty.
This has infiltrated into our beliefs to this day,
the religious vow of poverty.
But many of us didn't do a conscious vow,
but we've done an unconscious one.
And we made an inner vow that we say we want money.
We say we desire money, but we really don't.
And so I had believed and created that.
And it was not until we changed that.
Now, Leland Val VanderWaal said something to me
early on in the coaching.
He said, I don't have to wonder what's going on
in your brain about money,
because I can see it in how you're living.
So your life and what's going on with you and money
is revealing these inner vows,
these unconscious money mindsets.
Now, what I'm going to teach you today starts with awareness.
This was what turned the light on for me.
Let me tell you, I had been stuck at $2,200 for all of those months.
After I left that coaching session, the next month, my check was over 3,000.
The next month, my royalty check.
The next month, it was over five.
The next, it was over 7,500.
The next was over 10, 12,000.
I went on to build my own network marketing companies to earn millions.
You see what changed was awareness.
Awareness is the first step to transformation.
This is where you start.
Start bringing the unconscious to the conscious.
How do you really feel about money?
If you're really honest, what is the hidden things from the time you were five to eight
years old?
What was it that you came to a conclusion?
Do you see money as the root of evil?
Were you told you were all excited, little girl, little boy, and you said, mommy, daddy,
I want the new roller skates.
I'm so excited.
They said, money doesn't grow on trees.
You began to say, oh, I can't have what I desire.
There's not enough to go around.
Little Johnny and Susie at school have enough to go around, but I don't have.
I start to believe in scarcity, that there's not enough for everyone, that there's limited
resources.
I start to believe in competition, that if someone wins, I lose.
If I win, someone loses.
I operate in that plane of lack, that competitive plane, instead of the creative plane that
we were created to be on.
I start to think that money is dirty, that rich people are greedy, that they're selfish,
that they're dishonest, that to have wealth, I have to lie, I have to cheat, I have to
steal, that I need money to make money, so I can't, that if I have relationships, I can't
be wealthy.
If I'm wealthy, I can't have relationships.
I'm afraid if I have money, that maybe I'll be less virtuous.
Maybe I won't be a great person.
Maybe I have to sell my soul.
These are the type of hidden beliefs.
We're going to do a little uncovering here today together to maybe open up and bring
some of that unconscious forward, because awareness is the first step of transformation.
Why does this matter?
Before we do some of these exercises to help you uncover, let me just let you know that
your money story, your perception, how you are seeing the world, how you're seeing God,
how you're seeing money, your perception becomes your reality.
It becomes your reality.
There is a parable found in Matthew chapter 25 that is fascinating.
Half of the parables, Jesus told, I think, 38 parables, half of them were all about money.
There's over 2,300 verses in the Bible about money.
This is an important subject.
Here's one of those parables.
In this story, there's a rich landowner, and he distributes talents.
He gives some 10, and some 5, and some 2.
He says he's going to come back for an accounting.
The years pass, and he comes forward, and the first person that had received one talent
comes forward for an accounting, and says, Master, actually, this is the third.
The first one, 10 talents, he multiplies them, and the master says, well done, good and faithful
servant.
I'm going to give you more, and I'm going to make you ruler over cities, which is a
whole interesting concept about authority that comes with money and doors that open.
The second one comes forward, same thing.
I multiply them.
I have five now, here's five more, here's increase.
Increase is so important.
He says, well done, good and faithful servant.
I'm gonna make you ruler over five cities.
The one that had only gotten one talent comes forward
in this first year and says, master,
I knew you to be a harsh and a hard man.
Reaping where you did not sow
and gathering where you had not winnowed.
So I was afraid and I went
and I hid your talent in the ground.
Here, here's what you gave me.
I'm giving it back to you.
And of course, in that parable, he says, you wicked.
It's the only one that gets called wicked.
And he takes from him, even the one that he had.
Now there's all kinds of digging for this course.
Just want you to notice a couple of things about this,
how your perception becomes your reality.
He says, master, I knew you.
Did he really know?
We find out that he's very generous.
We find out he's a very skilled business person.
We find out he's more than willing to bless
and give even more to the ones that are stewards over it.
Did he really know him or did he have a perception?
Well, he had a perception,
which this could be a parable of God.
A perception of God being hard or harsh or stingy.
And so that perception resulted in fear.
I was afraid.
Our perceptions then create our reality,
which creates our emotional state
at the frequency that we operate in.
He was operating in a frequency of fear
and it leads to our actions.
And his actions were, I hid it.
I buried it in the ground.
I didn't take risk.
I didn't even put it in a savings account
so there could be some interest.
I simply got paralyzed in fear and I hid.
You see, this perception becomes our reality.
So today I'm going to share with you
the formula for success.
This is the same formula that I have taught
all the years of coaching and before that,
all the years of mentoring,
training up million dollar sales people.
I always use this formula.
It's a formula for success.
It's a formula for prosperity.
And it goes like this,
mindset plus skillset plus actions equals results.
Now, this is an equation.
There's an equal sign.
Everything on the left affects what's on the right.
On the right, results.
This could be an abundance of money.
This can be peace.
This can be, you know,
whatever you want the results to be, a successful business.
On the left are the three components
and each one of those influences the results.
So in other words, if you change your mindset,
if you up-level your mindset,
you will up-level your results.
Everything that you do on the left affects the right, okay?
So today we're primarily focusing on mindset.
There are other components,
but of course, you know,
of only a few hours cannot address everything.
So there is skillsets that improve your results.
That's why I've done, you know,
masterclasses on sales and on follow-up and other things.
Those are skillsets.
There are actions that will increase your results.
We're going to talk about some of those today,
but primarily today,
we're going to talk about the mindset
that leads to the result of prosperity,
of abundance and abundance with peace and joy
and ease and grace, all right?
So this is the equation
that we're going to be working on today.
So this is something you want to write down and think about
and really put to mind.
What is my mindset?
How am I growing my mindset?
And how can I grow my skillset?
How can I grow my actions to get more results?
You ready for a quiz?
Let's apply this, okay?
So take out a piece of paper
or just something that you can work on.
And what I want you to do is just put a check mark
or a tick mark for every one of these boxes
that apply to you.
And then we're going to count the number, okay?
So
So you're going to, number one, I often feel there's not enough for me. Do you deal with
not enoughness? Put a check mark, not enough money, not enough time, not enough sleep,
not enough energy, whatever. Do you deal with not enoughness, especially around money? Is there never
enough money at the end of the month? Do you have fear or anxiety around money? Do you fear losing
it? Do you fear not having enough? Do you feel, you know, not being able to provide whatever?
Do you have fear around money? Does it produce anxiety? Number three question here. Do you tend
to have a lot of clutter? Do you find you have clutter? Okay. Do you make impulse purchases?
Do, as soon as you get money, do you just think, oh, I deserve this and go shopping right away?
When you get money, do you find a way to spend it right away?
Do you feel, does your life feel like it's ruled by finances?
Do you feel like you really can't be that generous? Like, if you were generous,
you wouldn't be able to pay your own bills, and so you kind of put it off. You think, I'd love to
be generous. I'd love to give, but right now I'm barely making it. I can barely take care of myself
and my family. So do you find that it's hard to be generous the way that you'd like to?
Do you tend to hoard? Do you have more of things than you really need? Do you find that you're
hoarding a lot of things? Do you settle for trinkets instead of treasures? Okay. Are you
buying things, you know, at the dollar store or somewhere that you know is not going to last and
you've already accepted that, but you want it now, and so you settle for trinkets. Do you look
for instant gratification? Do you look for instant gratification? All right.
So you should have checked any of those that apply to you, and then you should have
a number. How many boxes that you checked? Okay.
Make sure you got all of these. Check the boxes. Find out how many boxes that you've checked.
Okay. All right.
If you checked four or more boxes, then you have been influenced with what is known. We're
going to talk about different types of mindsets. You have been influenced with a poverty mindset.
Okay. This is a mindset of lack and limitation. It believes in the concept of lack. It believes,
it's governed by the belief in lack that there is not enough. It's governed by the belief
that there's a lot of limitations that you have. It believes in scarcity. There's never enough,
especially for you, and there's a lot of fear and anxiety around money, often hoarding,
often your decisions and your life, the type of life you live is controlled by finances.
I'm not going to leave you here. We're going to talk about how to break these mindsets. Right now,
the first step is awareness. Awareness is the first step to transformation. Okay.
So poverty mindset. Now, no judgment. Okay. I have gone through most of these mindsets. I've
experienced different ones, different times in my life. So there's no judgment, but put in the chat,
just put me, if it's you, if you, if you did this, just put me and let's just see how many,
okay. Lots. Me, me, me, me, me. Okay. I want you to know so that you don't feel alone. Okay.
We've got a lot of people here saying me, me, me, me, me, me, me, lots of people, me, me, me, me,
me. Okay. So, so you're not alone. I was living by this. I get it. Okay. So we're going to talk
today. That's why you're here. This is why we're going to do something about it. Okay. So the thing
about it is once you understand a poverty mindset, you understand that it's not about how much money
you have. You will always feel black because it's not about the money.
This is the first thing, if you have to put some notes, it's not about the money.
You will get raises, you will make more money over the years.
You will have more and more and more coming in and you will still feel lack if you don't address
the root. The root is your thinking, your thoughts, your mindset. It's not the amount of money.
The problem with this mindset is we keep thinking, well, if I can just make more,
I'll get over this. That's how I was. Yet the interesting thing was when I had that poverty
mindset, no matter how much I kept making, I kept feeling the lack. The truth is even if you win
the lottery, if you have this mindset, you won't be able to keep it, you'll lose it.
Doesn't matter, millions, even billions, within five years, you'll lose it because you don't have
the self-worth that truly believes that you deserve to have it. You don't have the attraction
power to hold it. You don't have the character to keep it and grow it. The sad thing is
even to enjoy it. All you have to do is do some homework and look up sports figures
and how many of them after they retire still have money. Look up movie stars. Do a study of lottery
winners. It will be eye-opening. Most ended up with less than before they even won the lottery.
They went in reverse. What I want you, if you're going to get a note,
if you're going to get awareness of this, it's not about how much money you have.
This is the myth. We think, well, if I can just work harder and get more money,
if I can just get the raise, if I can just get more clients. Let me tell you, if you have this
mindset, you'll be making whatever, 2,000. You'll get more clients and you'll be making 5,000.
You'll still feel lack and you want more clients. You'll get more clients
and you'll be making 10,000 a month. You'll still feel lack and you want more clients
and you'll push harder and you'll open more. There is no end. It is like a beast that just
keeps consuming, so you have to deal with the root, which is the thinking. It's the mindset.
It's not the amount of money. I'm repeating this on purpose because this is a big breakthrough
right there. In the book Money and the Prosperous Soul, there's a chapter on the spirit of poverty
and it says a poverty spirit creates anxiety or fear. When you live from paycheck to paycheck
and you constantly dwell under the black cloud of that big unexpected expense, even after you
gain enough to live comfortably, you'll still worry about losing it all. A poverty spirit affords
token things, mistaking clutter and junk for wealth, so another symptom of someone with a
poverty mindset will be a lot of clutter. How do we break this mindset? How do we break it?
First of all, you must train your brain to focus on the truth of abundance. I'm going to do an
exercise before we take our first break just to let you experience that. I'm going to do an
exercise with you. Number one, you're retraining, you're reconditioning your brain to focus on the
truth of abundance. That means that you read about abundance, you imagine abundance, you speak
abundance. I'm going to teach you all of this in a minute. You meditate on abundance and you do not
allow the concept of lack. You come to an understanding, and this is an understanding I
had to come to, that there is no lack in the kingdom, that lack is a made-up concept. It's a mindset,
it's a construct, it's a mental construct. It is not reality. Now, when we have that mental construct,
we experience it as our reality. Of course, the miracles will tell you whether
something's real or not. If you believe it's real, it'll become real for you. You will see
lack everywhere. I want you to think about, for example, an orange tree or a lemon tree.
When I think about abundance, I think about my lemon tree in the backyard. It is the most
amazing lemon tree. I've never seen a tree bear so much fruit year after year after year.
This thing is just loaded with big, beautiful lemons. They get almost the size of an orange,
and they're so sweet.
And so there's lots of fruit.
We would say that's abundance.
But then once a year, there is no fruit.
The fruit is gone.
And actually, even the leaves fall.
And so it just becomes this barren tree.
And I'm going to ask you, is the tree broke?
Does it lack?
I'm assuming it's alive.
I'm not talking it's barren because it's dead.
Does it lack?
And the second question is, suddenly in the spring,
something happens and leaves began to come, green leaves.
Where do these leaves come from?
And ultimately, flowers, which become fruit,
which becomes beautiful lemons, where
does the fruit come from?
Does the lemon tree go to the neighboring apple tree?
Or in my case, it's a peach tree next to it.
Does it go to the peach tree and say, hey,
give me some of your peaches.
Give me some lemons.
I need some lemons.
I lack.
Or does it come within?
This is an awareness question to think about.
Where does your abundance come from?
An awareness question is, is lack real?
Or have I made it real because of my experiences?
Have I made it my mindset and made it my reality
so that I think about it, I speak it, I imagine it,
I act on it, and therefore, I live it?
So we're going to train our mind to focus
on the truth of abundance.
Now, there's a beautiful book.
And I wish I could recommend it and you could get it.
But actually, I've never been able to find it again.
I have the original copy.
Don't ask me why.
God wanted me to have it.
It's called The Gospel of Liberation by Ishmael Tete.
And he is somewhere in Africa.
And it's the most beautiful book on abundance.
And one of the things he does is he
has these abundance exercises.
And I'm going to just model it so
that you can do this yourself.
And so I want you to just kind of close your eyes
and just imagine for a second.
And the way that this works is he
declares abundance three times.
So he says, there is abundance.
There is abundance.
And then the third time, he picks an example.
There is an abundance of water.
And so then he just starts describing that.
So he says, there is an abundance of water
as rivers, as lakes, as streams, as oceans.
There's abundance of water as moisture
that comes out of our exhaled air from the lungs of people.
There's abundance of water in the nourishing fluid
that surrounds a fetus.
There's an abundance of water in the atmosphere
as rain and fog and storm and snow,
abundance of water in the soil, abundance
of water in the human body, abundance
of water in uncooked food, abundance of water in tanks
to meet the needs of the future, abundance of water
in vehicle radiators, abundance of water in leaves of trees
and in storage tanks.
And it goes on and on and on, pages of this, right?
Waterfalls and rivers and streams and all of that.
I'm speeding this up for time.
Then he does a second one.
Again, repeat three times.
There is abundance.
There is abundance of air, for example.
There's abundance of air in the universe,
and it's flowing to all of life.
Air comprises of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Humans and animals take in oxygen,
which the plants release into the atmosphere for their use,
and they, in turn, release carbon dioxide.
There is abundance of air, oxygen,
available to the human heart to use to revitalize the cells.
Abundance of air in the ocean, which sustains
the fish and all life forms.
Abundance of air at the beaches where visitors sit
and enjoy the breeze.
Abundance of air in the balloons
that children are blowing for decorations.
Abundance of air in the balloon
that carries people into the skies.
Abundance of air for 7 billion people on Earth
for humanity to stay alive.
Abundance of air for children flying kites. Abundance of air for premature babies
in the oxygen tanks. Abundance of air, and it goes on and on and on and on, and then the third one
you do is money, and so you say, there is abundance, and you feel it and you say, there is
abundance. You're retraining your mind. You're coming up with a new mindset. You're rewriting
your story. There is an abundance of money, and you focus not from a place of lack that you don't
have. You focus with just in awe and amazement at all of the abundance of money, so there is
abundance of service energy in the world. Remember, money is service energy. Somebody's giving service
to somebody. Life is about giving out of its energy to benefit another. As the plants give
up their energy to benefit the birds, the birds give up their energy to plant seeds, so there is
abundance of money. There is abundance of wealth as different minerals in the earth's crust waiting
to be crafted into jewelry. Abundance of wealth as bequeathals to descendants. Abundance of wealth as
income this month for salaried employees. Abundance in the amount of cash on Rodeo Drive
used to purchase goods. Abundance of wealth as cash for lunch in some child's pocket right now.
Abundance of wealth for the Los Angeles Lakers earning millions of dollars. Abundance of wealth
for the day's sales in the till of a supermarket in Pakistan. Abundance of wealth as oil in the
waters of Ghana. Abundance of wealth as the millionaires in the US, UK, Egypt, Ghana. Abundance
of money everywhere. Money is service energy and abundant everywhere. There's abundance of money
in homes, in inheritance, carried on aircrafts, in the exchanges, in the vaults of the bank,
in people's accounts, in government treasuries, in businesses, and so it goes on and on.
The idea with this is to retrain your mind to no longer believe in lack, focus on lack,
allow the concept of lack into your life, and dedicate your life to just start seeing and
train yourself. Go out and look at the grass. How many blades of grass? Count the grains of sand
on the beach. All of these ways that there is so much abundance. We're going to
retrain the poverty mindset. We're going to replace it because I'm going to teach you how to replace
it. You're going to come up with a new mindset that supports the abundance that you desire.
We are going to take a three-minute, because I got so much to cover, break.
You're going to jump up. You're going to run. If you're listening to this remotely,
you're going to push pause. Welcome back. I pray, whether you're listening live or to the replay,
that you just really got some key takeaways, some nuggets that you can apply right away.
I think the biggest takeaway, if I was going to summarize what we covered so far,
is that on a tree, there's the root, there's the trunk, there's the tree, there's the fruit.
Money is the fruit. We can't just add more money. You can't just put more fruit on the tree.
You must change the root. The root is our mindset. It's our beliefs about money.
I gave you some of the tools to do that. All right. I'm going to go back now and
go back to the screen where we left off. Here we go. All right.
Mindset, all of these things start with a thought. All of these things start with a thought.
Again, as we're talking about the root, you need to understand something about thoughts.
People tend to think that thoughts just happen. Well, I can't control it. Thoughts just happen.
No, on the contrary. Scripture tells us to take every thought captive. We need to evaluate
thoughts and we need to hold to the ones that are true, not to the
motions, right? And so thoughts are not neutral.
They're not neutral.
They have a frequency.
We know this now scientifically.
OK, they have a frequency and they have a fruit.
So when you change your thoughts, you change the fruit.
And the thing about thoughts is there's only two tracks
that they're running on.
They're either faith or love based.
That's one track.
It's a loving thought.
It's a love based thought.
It's a faith based thought or it's a fear based,
which is also a lie based.
So we mentioned like the belief in the in in lack is an illusion
and it creates fear like the parable he hid.
He hid his money based on that thought.
Right. And so you evaluate your thoughts as to
are they are they love based or are they fear based?
Because here's the thing, both attract.
The the love based thoughts attract
more of their kind, the fear based thoughts attract more of their kind.
That's why in the book of Job, there's an interesting verse
where he says that which I feared.
Other translations say that which I greatly feared, that which I always feared.
In other words, fear had become a habit that which I always feared
has happened to me, what I dreaded has come true.
And you're going to have an understanding later why that is.
So it starts with a thought.
And this is why scripture gives us how to change the mindset.
Scripture gives us the tool.
It says in in Romans 12, chapter two, it says be transformed.
Today, what we're talking about is not a minor change.
We're talking about transformation.
We're talking about transforming your money story
and thereby transforming your life and thereby transforming your impact,
your joy, your peace, your ability to create,
you know, powerful, beautiful, amazing, loving things.
So be transformed and progressively change.
You'll notice this is progress.
You'll start where maybe you think lack, you know, 90 percent of the time.
But now you're 10 percent.
You're focusing on abundance.
And you get it where now lack is only 80 percent, 20 percent of the time.
You are really focusing on abundance.
You will not allow lack into your consciousness.
And you could do this with anything, with sickness, with lack, with all lies.
OK. And then, you know, it gets down to 70 or 50 percent.
And so half the time, black comes in and you're like, oh, no, no, that's not the truth.
That's not my truth. That's not my reality.
That's not what I'm choosing to focus on.
And so you're progressively changed.
So you're transformed and you're progressively changed as you mature.
This is a maturity. This is a growth.
This is an evolution. OK, how?
How does transformation and change happen by renewing your mind?
Re means do again, new, make new your mind.
Now, we now have the science.
We understand, you know, the biochemistry
and the neurology of the brain now to understand that this is actually a truth.
You literally are rewiring your brain.
And there's lots of cool tools out there now.
You know, you can listen to frequencies on on YouTube.
You know, there's a lot of things you can do because we know that literally
we know from brain injury, a part of the brain can be injured.
You can rewire the brain.
OK, and it's the same thing with money.
You can renew your mind.
Five thousand years ago, scripture understood this.
You want transformation?
It starts with the mind.
It's not about getting more.
It's not about working harder.
It's not about push and shove and grind.
No, it's about renewing your mind.
Here it is in a different translation.
I happen to love the passion translation.
It's my newest favorite.
It's just really cool the way it brings in so many languages,
the Aramaic and Greek and the Hebrew, so just so many languages.
I love it. And so here it is.
It says stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture.
Remember, we opened with the opinions of the culture.
The opinions of the culture are lack your all of marketing.
When you turn on a TV, the opinion of the culture is lack.
You're not sexy.
You need this makeup.
You're not sexy. You need this.
car. You're not powerful. You need this. You're not, you know,
it's all about lack. That's the opinions of the culture. All the
marketing is driven by lack. Okay, so stop that. Stop. And
instead be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a
total reformation. Reform how you think. I pray today is the
first day of the rest of your life of choosing to think
differently. Choosing to believe different. Remember, a belief is
just a strongly held opinion. Okay. All right. So we're going
to change our thinking about lack and change our thinking
about abundance. A few more thoughts. The greatest wealth
ever created in history has been created in the middle of a
depression. The greatest advances in science, medicine,
technology, space travel, communication, they're happening
right now. So there's so much opportunity. You know, if you
look at the definition of poverty in America today, those
who are in poverty, usually have a cell phone, often an iPad and
a laptop, too. They have a cell phone. They have running water
and a flushing toilet. They usually have a TV. Now, do you
know that these are luxuries that even the wealthiest even
kings couldn't have dreamt of having in the past. They
couldn't imagine flushing a toilet or picking up a cell
phone and communicating with people all in the world. So this
idea of being poor or broke or lacking, or abundance, as I've
mentioned many times is simply a mindset. It is a way of
thinking. It is a perspective. It's a perception. Okay, it's
all perspective. All right, you ready to learn some more and
change some more mindsets? Let's do it again here. Here's
another quiz. This is a different one, we're going to
uncover a different mindset. Okay. So again, same way, you're
going to check the boxes that apply. And you're going to
count how many Alright, so I find my confidence is based on
my finances. Okay. So in other words, if I've got money in the
bank, or, you know, in my account or whatever, I feel
confident if I have a lot of clients, I feel confident. So is
your confidence tied to your money and your finances, check
that box, I make most decisions based on my bank account. So do
you decide if you're going to go out to eat or not? Do you
decide if you're going to vacation? Do you decide what
you're going to eat on the menu? Do you decide what you're going
to do how you're going to live based on your bank account? If
so, check that box. I rely on my spouse or significant other or
partner or my job or the government for my provision. I
rely on the government. I rely on my boss, my job, I rely on my
business, you could put that in there, my business, I rely on my
company that I work for, I rely on my spouse, if that's the case,
then for your provision, check that my future is based on the
economy. So if the economy is going to tank, you don't have a
good future. If the economy is great, you have a great future.
Your future is based on the economy. I'm in serious debt, if
you've got some serious debt. I struggle with addiction. This
could be addiction to substances, drugs, alcohol, but
it also could be addiction to anything, pornography, gambling,
anything that is addictive. I struggle with addiction. I have
a compulsive behavior. If you have a compulsive behavior,
check that box. I do not see money as my servant. So contrary,
you're probably serving money, right? So you don't see money
working for you. You don't see money as your servant, you're
not commanding it. And if that's the case, check that box. I'm
really not sure if God will bless me. I don't even know if
he wants to bless me. Check that box. I don't even know if he
wants me to be wealthy. Check that box. I'm not sure if God
can really be trusted in the area of my finances. When it
comes to money, if it's to be, it's up to me. It doesn't have
anything to do with God. It's about me. I'm not
sure if I can really trust God when it comes to money.
That's a whole different issue.
I like God. I love God, but I don't trust them with my money.
OK, all right.
So you should find any of those that are true.
You're going to check them.
And then you're going to count how many.
How many of those applied count those and then remember that number.
OK.
All right.
If you checked four or more boxes in the second quiz.
Pardon the typo there.
You have been influenced with a mammon or a momona's mindset.
So again, we're getting to the roots and you may have both.
OK, and you may have neither and you may have totally different ones.
We're just working on two of them right
now just to give you examples how to break free.
So momona's a mammon mindset and a mammon mindset is it really focuses
on acquiring things and attracting people to ourselves.
It really plays on the need for acceptance
and significance by promising that somehow wealth can buy meaningful connections.
So it really demands a lot of allegiance to money.
And I'll explain that in a minute.
It encourages sensual living, steady flow of comforts, pleasures,
leads to a slavery to debt, addictions and living beyond your means.
OK, momona's mindset.
So the Greek word momona's is different than riches or money or wealth.
So this is why it can be confused when people the translations of the Bible
sometimes will translate the word money where momona's was used.
It is not one in the same.
So if it says you can't serve God and money, it's talking about momona's.
OK, and so momona's what that really means is personify wealth
by by placing our trust in it and deifying it as God.
In other words, we worship, we attribute value to it, we give it we give it power.
You see, a person worships what they determine has the highest value.
Right.
And so whereas a poverty mindset is very
self-defeating and kind of shames the mammon momona's mindset kind of
promotes kind of self-grand or more flattery.
It's the it's the other kind of side of of the spectrum.
And so the key to understand when we're
getting to the root is that both of them are symptoms of deeper issues.
You see, the poverty mindset is tied in
with your identity of really knowing who you are,
that you are unique, that you are loved, that you are made in the image of God,
that you have access to infinite potential and infinite abundance.
It's it's having to do with who you see yourself as.
Do you see yourself as broken, busted and disgusted and separated and lack and not
smart enough and not talented enough and too old and too old and to this and to that?
You know, it's the poverty mindset is tied
in with your identity of who you are, your being.
OK, whereas mammon mindset,
momona's mindset is tied in with who or what is your source.
This is a very, very important distinction.
Who or what is your source?
OK, and the truth is, there's only one source, capital S,
God, our creator, whatever name you want to call him by.
There's there's one source.
There's many channels.
So it's learning to distinguish between a source and a channel.
Your job is a channel.
And God can use that channel.
You can you can create income through a channel of your job.
The government can be a channel.
Your business and clients can be a channel.
The lottery can be a channel.
But there's only one source.
And so the moment is kicks in when we
confuse the source and we think our source is our job.
Therefore, if we lose our job, we don't have any source.
We're undone if we lose, you know,
whatever the.
channel we were counting on, if the government goes bankrupt, we're done because we're confusing
source and channel. The solution, as we get to the roots, is really discovering who you are.
What is your identity? Who are you? Who or what is your source? Now, I want to give you another
exercise. Let's see, I can stop sharing. Well, I'll share after, but there's a little tiny book
called The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price. Little tiny book. In fact, I'll stop sharing for
a second here so you can see. Okay, little tiny book right here called The Abundance Book. You
can see it's not very thick. It's very rich. I don't necessarily agree with every single thing
in there, but you can see that I've done a little work in there and I've spent a little bit of time
in the pages when you look at my pages. I don't agree with everything. I like to just, if you
eat chicken, I eat the chicken and spit out the bones or I eat the peach and I spit out the seed.
It's John Randolph Price. Lots of gold nuggets in there.
Take what lines up with your philosophy and spit out the rest, but get some nuggets. Here's
something that really got me thinking. This is a statement.
It's a declaration. There's a 40-day prosperity plan, so you take a little nugget every single day.
That's what I showed you. I mark every time I do it. I put a date.
Listen to this for a second as a mind shift. Remember, we're doing some root work right now.
We're digging up the roots that aren't producing fruit and we're nourishing the roots that do.
Listen to this. It says this day, you can make this day, you can mark it, this day that
you're listening to this. I cease believing in visible money as my supply and my support.
This is about source, what we just talked about. I cease believing in visible money as my supply
and my support. I view the world of effect as it truly is, simply an outpicturing of my former
beliefs. Let me pause for a second. A little basic science. Everything has a cause and effect.
You need to distinguish. Money is not the cause. It's the effect. You got to get to the cause.
Everything is that way. Money is an effect. This is saying, I believed in the world of effect,
what we see, the computer, the money, the house, all of that. That's effects. That's not the cause.
I love the way it says that I view the world of effect as it truly is. In other words, I start to
see clearly. There's a biblical verse that says, judge not by appearances. I don't look at the
world of effect as source or supply. It's simply a fact. This says, I view the world of effect as
it truly is, simply an outpicturing of my former beliefs. This is the first part of this whole
course, what we've been talking about. The life you've been living, like Leland Val
Vanderwaal said, is simply an outpicturing of what you believe. What you thought about and believed
and meditated on yesterday is what's creating what you're living today. Outpicturing of my
former beliefs. I believed in the power of money. I believed. Remember, we're giving our belief.
We're ascribing our belief. I believed in the power of money. Have you been giving money power?
I believed in the power of money and therefore, I surrendered my God-given power
and authority to an objectified belief.
I gave my power away. I put it in money. I thought that was the solution. I thought that was the
source. I thought that would solve my problems. You see, I believed in the possibility of lack.
When you don't believe in the possibility of lack, it's no longer part of your existence.
Once you renew your mind, you do not allow your mind to even go there.
This applies to a lot of things. You can apply this to so many things in your life.
I believed in the possibility of lack, thus causing a separation
in consciousness from the source of my supply. Once I put my
faith and my belief in money and believed in lack, I cut myself
off from my true source. I believed in mortal man and carnal
conditions. And through this faith, either way, it's faith,
by the way. Through this faith, I gave man and conditions power
over me. Where have you given conditions, money, power over
you? I believed in the mortal illusion. This is an illusion.
That's the amazing thing. It's an illusion. Created by the
collective consciousness, we've all bought into this illusion of
air thoughts. We've been living by air thoughts, thoughts of
lack, thoughts of scarcity, thoughts of separation, thoughts
of fear. We've been living by these collective air thoughts.
And in so doing, like the parable of the talents that we
read, he believed in an error, he got disconnected from his
source. And he believed in the air. And that led to his action
that he hid the money, he didn't invest it, he didn't grow it, he
didn't multiply it, he didn't even enjoy it, he freaking put
it in a hole. You see, there's an effect to that. So it says,
I believed in mortal man carnal conditions. And through this
faith gave man and conditions power over me, I believed in the
mortal illusion caused by the collective consciousness of air
thoughts. And in doing here it is, I have limited the
unlimited. That's a powerful sentence right there. I where
is the limitation happening? I it's not in God, God's not
limited. It's not in the abundance that he's already
created. It's in me. It's in what I believed. And therefore
the life that I created. So it says I have limited the
unlimited no more. This day, I renounced my so called human
hood and claim my divine inheritance as a being of God.
This day, I acknowledge God and only God as my substance, my
supply, and my support. Now, I wish I could go deeper, do a
study on substance. You'll find it everywhere. You'll find it
in Napoleon Hill, the thinking stuff of the universe, you'll
find it in the science of getting rich. You'll find it in
scripture, man was made from substance. The word for wealth
throughout scripture was called substance. There is a thinking
stuff that our thoughts cause an effect on the thinking stuff to
produce the results. But that's, that's a little deep for right
now. I'll just give you something to think about. Let's
get back to sharing the screen. Let's keep it moving. I got so
much to share with you guys. All right. Both are symptoms of
deeper issues. Okay, identity and source. All right. So how
are we going to break the mammon mindset? First of all, you got
to get clear who or what is your source. And you have to be able
to understand the distinction between a source and a channel
and understand there's unlimited channels. And then you have to
get clear on who God is. When you meditate on his nature,
recognize he's good. He's loving. He's a God of
abundance, lavish abundance. He's a God that will supply all
your needs. And he loves to prosper as children. And you
begin to acknowledge that everything belongs to him. And
so you have the practice of tithing. I'll talk about that in
a minute. You practice stewardship, you practice
generosity, you practice humility. Okay. So most of you
know, the name of my company is prosper in all things. It comes
from third john to just a little short letter in the New
Testament. And it says, beloved, I love that it begins with love,
everything of value starts with love. Beloved, I pray you
prosper in all things I love true prosperity is, is physical,
emotional, spiritual, relational, true, prosperous,
prosperity is not the old model based on lack that, you know,
basically, I sacrificed my health to get wealth. And then I
got to use my wealth to try to get my health back. No, no, no,
no, no. This says prosper in all things, and be in health. And
here's how
even as your soul prospers.
Do you know, in scripture, soul means mind, will and emotions.
There it is. There's the equation again.
As your mind prospers, so will you prosper in all things.
So will your health.
Your health is directly linked to your mind.
We know this time and time and time again.
If you have not read feelings buried alive, never die.
To understand the correlation.
And there's so many.
We scientifically, medically and always know that our mind is producing our health.
So as our soul, our mind, our will, our emotions,
the frequency that we live at is determining.
And so the truth that you glean from this is that you're loved.
God wants you to prosper in all things,
even your health and your prosperity is tied with your soul,
your mind, your will and emotions.
So like we open with, it's not just something that happens to you.
It's not what you're born into or winning the lottery
or getting lucky or being at the right place at the right time.
Prosperity is tied together with the condition of your soul.
That means how many material possessions and how much health you have
is directly related to the prosperity of your soul, your mind, your will and emotions.
We're dealing with the root, not just trying to get more money.
We are like that lemon tree.
When the root is solid, I can count year after year after year.
The fruit is going to be there and the fruit is going to come within.
The tree doesn't have to borrow, beg, steal, lose integrity,
try to be something it's not, stress, worry.
It's part of all of nature and the same is true for you.
So the key is to remember that you can change.
You can change your thoughts and perspective.
You can change your beliefs.
You can change your feelings and attitudes.
You can change your words and vocabulary.
And your actions.
And as you change, so will your circumstances.
Change your thoughts, change your life.
Change your beliefs, change your life.
Change your actions, change your life.
Change your words, change your life.
You can do this, okay?
So let's go back.
I think I went too far.
Let's see if I can go back.
There we go.
Let's kind of break this down.
How we get stuck in our story.
How this mindset, how we get stuck.
And consequently, I can teach you how to get unstuck.
I'm going to give you the tools right now.
We're going to have practical tools.
How you get stuck and how you can get unstuck.
Here's the process.
Here is what's happening in your life, okay?
You have a thought.
You have multiple thoughts, but you have a thought.
And let's assume that that thought is lack.
So the thought goes something like this.
I don't have enough.
And by the way, this starts very early from the time you open your eyes.
It's something like this.
Oh, I didn't get enough sleep.
Oh, I'm not going to have enough time.
I don't have enough money to cover.
So we have these thoughts about not enoughness, about lack.
And then we meditate on them and they move from a thought.
Okay.
In our mind to move to our heart.
We're going to talk about the mind, heart, mouth.
So they move to our heart and this is far more powerful.
You can have a thought, but if it doesn't attach a feeling, you're okay.
In other words, you could have the thought, you know, I'm a grasshopper.
Okay.
But as long as you don't attach a feeling, you're, you know, you could go around all day long.
You know, I'm a grasshopper.
I'm a grasshopper.
Your brain's going, no, you're really not.
But when you attach a feeling to it, especially an intense feeling like guilt, shame, fear.
And so now you have a thought.
I don't have enough.
And it moves to, I don't have enough money.
And now you attach the feeling of dread.
And now you start visualizing and imagining what happens if I don't pay this person?
What happens if I run out of this?
What happens if this?
I might go bankrupt.
I might lose my business.
What's my partner going to think?
What's going to happen to my kid?
We start projecting it into the future.
We magnify it because by focusing.
we expand. Whatever we focus on expands. If we're focusing on fear, we get more fear.
We're focusing on lack, we get more lack. We've got a thought, we attach. I'm giving you the
science of how this happens. We attach a feeling. Now, this becomes a frequency. This becomes an
emotion, energy in motion. That energy in motion, by the way, affects everything inside of you.
It affects every cell in your body, every organ. That frequency leads to dis-ease. It constricts.
It does all kinds of havoc. It radiates out. We know at least seven to 12 feet. It has to do with
what we're attracting, what's in our environment. You've got this thought, but now you attach a
feeling. Now, you're operating in a frequency. I don't have time. You can go to my other courses.
I really go into how the frequency, how it all works. I'm just telling you, you have a thought,
you attach a feeling, and then you begin to speak it. You might be speaking to yourself,
oh God, what am I going to do? What if I can't pay that? What is he going to think? How am I
going to tell that creditor? You might be doing it internally, or you might speak it outside.
You might just say to the kids, Mom, I need lunch money. I'm sorry, we don't have money right now.
You need to go without. We don't have, and we start speaking it. You start speaking.
What are we going to do? Maybe you get into an argument or a discussion with your partner. We
don't have enough to cover this. What are we going to do? Now, we have even more feeling. Now, we've
intensified it. Our words have power. Scripture says our words never return void. They're like
a sickle. They go out and they harvest. Ultimately, as we have a thought and we
attach a feeling and we speak it, so we're visualizing it, we're talking about it,
we're meditating on it. It's like a reverse faith, basically. We become it.
Now, it becomes our identity. We say things like I am, I'm broke, I'm sick and tired. Look,
I am are the most powerful words on the planet. They are the name of God.
Whatever you put after the word I am, make sure you would say it about God. Is God broke? If not,
don't put that after the word I am. Is God sick? If not, don't put that. Do not let any words go
after the word I am. What happens is we become it and now we start acting it. We start living as if.
There's a proverb, Proverbs 23.7, a wise, wise proverb, wisest king in history says,
as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. I used to think scripture was so backwards. I thought,
we don't think in our heart. We think in our mind. We now know there's more brains in our heart
and we know that the heart is an afferent organ. The heart's sending more messages to the brain
than the brain is to the heart. We do think with our heart. We think with our gut too. There's
little brains in our gut, but that's another subject for another day. This is how we get
stuck in our story. It starts with a thought, becomes a belief. We meditate on it. We attach
a feeling. We start operating in the frequency. We harvest it with our words and we become it.
We're stuck in our story. The good news is that you can create a new story. You can create a
new script. This is the beautiful thing. You can take a part of your story that no longer serves
your brain, no longer is true, and you can delete a portion of the story. You can rewrite it all or
you can rewrite parts and you can create a new script. If you've never done this, do a little
research how to write a new script for your life, a new story for your life. This is very, very
powerful experience. You create a new script by creating new thoughts. Now you change.
For our new script, it's going to be around abundance. We're going to eliminate the script.
We're going to negate it. We're going to draw lines through it, burn it, whatever works for you,
tear it up, and instead, we're going to give our focus. We're going to give our attention.
We're going to affirm. We're going to declare. We're going to write scripts that are focusing on
abundance. Then we're going to tap into the feeling tonality of that. We're going to
really see it in our mind of our eyes. We're going to have a vision and we're going to practice
radiating. Now, this might be a new concept for you and it's one of the most transformational,
powerful concepts. Scripture
talks that out of the heart flows the issues of life.
It says that out of the heart, the mouth speaks,
which also creates our life.
It says, guard your heart with all diligence
because out of the heart flows the issues of life.
So you must understand flow
and you must understand which direction flow is going.
You see the illusion of lack causes us to,
and I'm going to stop and just kind of look
at you guys for a minute.
The illusion of lack causes us to be externally minded.
Okay, we have an external locus of control.
So we believe that something outside of ourselves
is what is needed for me to be happy, healthy, prosperous.
And so the focus of the external is I've got to try to get.
If I could just get more money,
we already learned why that doesn't work.
We're not at the roots.
If I could just get more clients, we already learned.
If you're in a mindset of lack,
it doesn't matter how many clients
you're going to still feel that.
Even if you're making millions, I've been there.
I've gone from living in the apartment,
as I described to having million dollar companies
and the lack still existed.
So I need to get, I need to get this grasping, right?
This craving, right?
That is driving us externally.
The truth of who you are, like the tree,
the tree is not grabbing lemons.
It's not grabbing leaves.
It's producing it from within.
This is the biggest, the scriptural truth.
Out of the heart flow the issues of life.
All the issues of your life are flowing from your heart.
When you understand that you are a human generator,
this is so huge.
This will change your life to understand
you are a human generator, okay?
And you know, if you have the belief as I do,
that God lives in you, that you have the mind of Christ,
that you're the temple of the Holy Spirit,
that spirit lives in you, whatever language you use,
spirit, God, Jesus lives in you, okay?
Then all sufficiency, because that's what God is,
that's what spirit is, all sufficiency.
You see, we've removed that from our vocabulary,
the concept of all sufficiency.
All sufficiency lives in you.
That means you have access to all wisdom, all power,
all abundance, all knowledge, all tools, all everything.
You have access to it, okay?
But it starts within, it's within you.
The leaves on the tree come from within
and it's never broke, there's always more.
And the fruit comes from within.
And so with you, the love,
when you can tap into the love in your heart
and understand I'm a human generator.
And so you do this as an exercise, okay?
So you do it right now, do it with me,
put your hands on your heart, okay?
And just right now, I want you just to tap
into the frequency, the feeling of love.
I want you to think about something you love.
It might be a puppy, it might be a child,
it might be whatever, just a man, a spouse.
Like I want you to tap into just a feeling of love.
I want you to just feel that right now.
Just feel the love in your heart, just feel it.
And now I want you to just even give it a color
if you want, just magnify it, whatever.
Do you see it as a bright light?
You see it as purple, like give it a color.
And now I want you to just magnify it
and see that love, see that color,
just see it spreading throughout your whole body.
See it just kind of flooding and filling
and just feel this love coursing
through your entire body, okay?
And now I want you to practice radiating this love.
I want you to send love, send love into the room
that you're in right now.
Send it to the plants, the pets, the person,
the whatever, just send love.
Send it into the walls of your house if you want.
Just radiate, just fill, fill that room with love.
Just fill it, radiate it out.
And now fill your home, every animal,
every plant, everything,
just saturate your home with that love.
And now breathe in and breathe out
and expand it even further.
Send that love to your community,
send it to your neighbors,
cross the street to the left, to the right,
just radiate, send love right now.
Just send powerful love,
just picture love going to them right now.
You can accompany it with a prayer, just send love.
And now send that love.
love to your whole town. Just picture your town just saturated in that color, saturated in that
love. Let it spread. Send it to your whole state or region or whatever your government goes by.
Just spread it out. Let it keep spreading. Let it spread around the globe. Every animal,
every person, every plant, every being, just send love right now. Radiate love out.
And now just bring that love back again. Feel it in your heart. Just be still with it for a minute.
Scripture says God has poured his love in your heart. You have it. It's poured. It's
been poured in there. It's like liquid love, liquid gold. It's in your heart.
You have it. And you can access it any time that you want.
Pop in the chat if you felt that. So just pop, just say I felt it or whatever you experienced,
just pop that in the chat for just a minute. Okay? Wow. Okay. What did you experience? Did
you experience feeling the love? I felt it. Yeah. Yeah. Just write the word felt or wow,
or whatever word. The world will change. I felt it. Profound love to all. Loved the feeling. Okay?
Wow! Exclamation points. Glory. Yes. I felt that. Good. So you got a little taste.
Yes. All in capital letters. Okay. Wonderful. So when you move from this place that you're
a human generator, you can now begin to practice radiating as opposed to striving and stress.
So yes, Martha, because you're created by God, you have the DNA of love. Absolutely.
And scripture says that he's poured his love into you and he lives in you. And if he lives in you,
he is love. He, she, it is love. Spirit is love. It's in you. Okay? So beautiful. I'm glad. I want
you to have that experience. If I can give you some practical life-changing experiences. Okay.
Let's go back to where we were. Okay. So you're going to get into the feeling tonality. You're
going to radiate. Okay. And you're going to speak it. You're going to use your words as a
sickle to harvest. Okay. And then you're going to begin to live it. You're going to begin to
live it. I love playing a game with this. You know, let's say that you want to be a million
dollar earner, a billion dollar earner, a billion dollar coach, a highly successful million dollar
earner coach, whatever your thing is. Right. And let's just say a little game that says,
if I were a million dollar coach, I earned a million dollars a year or a month or whatever
you want to create. Right. I would, I would feel, and you tap into the feeling of it. I would do.
And you think about the actions and you do some of those actions. I would say, I would read. And
all you're doing right now is tapping into your God-given image maker, your imagination.
And, and you're experiencing it. Now you're living it now. Okay. So there's three stages
in a script. Start with, I choose. You may not feel I am. If you just go straight to,
I am successful. I am a millionaire. Your brain's going to go BS. Okay. So work your way into it.
This is the back door. Start with choice. You all can make a choice. You can have a God-given
power to choose. I choose to be financially successful. I choose abundance. I choose to
prosper in every area of my life. I choose health. I choose love. I choose, and I welcome
it. I welcome financial success. I am open. I am receptive. I am delighted. I choose abundance. I
choose to live an abundant, prosperous life. And now you move from choosing to the feeling tonality.
So you tap into it. Wow. I feel, I choose to be financially successful. I feel financially
successful. What does that feel like? Are your shoulders back a little bit? Is your chin up?
Do you have a smile? Are you light? Is it, is there a twinkle in your eye? Like how do you feel?
it well. I'm great with financial success. I'm wise, you know? And so you tap into the feeling
tonality of it, and then you move into the beingness of it, right? So you got the thinking,
the feeling, and then the being. I am. And don't wait till you have to see it. The lemon tree
is a prosperous lemon tree, even when there's no fruit on there. You don't have to wait to see it.
You have to know that's who and what the lemon tree is, and the source that provides for that
lemon tree from the inside. Doesn't matter. It might be winter right now. Again, judge not by
appearances, scripture says, right? So don't judge by what your bank account is today. Remember,
whatever you focus on expands. So don't judge by what it is today, right? Live it now,
not by what you see. You'll see what you believe. Don't wait to see it in order to believe it.
You will see it when you believe it, okay? So David understood this. I love the Psalms 23.
It's just rich. Can you imagine walking around having this kind of self-talk? Can you imagine
just walking around just going, wow, God is my shepherd. Man, I'm guided. I'm guarded. I'm led.
I'm just tapping into the feeling tonality of that. I'm never alone. I'm not separated. The
Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not lack. Bottom line, I shall not. That's just a fact. I can't,
because all abundance is in me. All abundance is around me. God is in me. God is abundant.
I shall not lack. Lack does not exist in my reality. He's the one that restores my soul,
my mind, my will, my emotions. He's the one. It doesn't matter my circumstances. David said of
God, you prepare a table, a banqueting table. I mean, I'm talking wine and oil and the richest
food. You prepare an abundant banqueting table for me in the presence of my enemies. Yeah,
there's wars. There's rumors of wars, and things are falling apart all around, and the news sucks,
but that's not my reality. I got a table going on. In my table, there's food. In my table,
there's oil. I'm generous with this table, by the way, but in the middle of my enemies,
I don't care if there's haters. I don't care who talks smack about me. God has prepared a table for
me in the presence of my enemy. He anoints my head with oil. I have an anointing for prosperity.
I have an anointing for abundance. In fact, it's so much. It's so prosperous. My cup
runs over. This is the visualization. You picture a cup, water, oil being poured into the cup.
It gets full. It can't contain anymore. It spills. It runs over. It blesses everyone in the vicinity.
It spills all over. Everyone around you is blessed. There's more than enough. My cup runs over.
Surely, only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love will follow me all the days of my life. You got
that? For me, it's only goodness. That's why all the time I say things like, it's all good.
It's perfect. It's all good. God is working everything together for good. It's all good.
Only goodness, only mercy, only love is in me all the days of my life. You see, this
is the self-talk. We're going to take a super quick three-minute break. Jump up,
use the restroom, drink, do whatever you need to do. Welcome back. We've been having a little
conversation there on the break as to what you took away. Those were some power tools. I pray
you'll just listen to this over and over again. I gave you actual exercises and power tools that can
completely transform your entire situation. You may not get all of this in one shot. I know
it's probably like drinking from a fire hose sometimes. That's intentional. I know that
awareness is the first step to transformation. If nothing else happens from today that you just get
an awareness, you just get an aha, it only takes one aha to completely change your life,
especially if you apply it. Then from watching this over and over, going back and then taking
one nugget at a time and saying, how can I apply this? All right, let's go.
I had, let's see, the recording is going now.
Let me share the screen again and let's kick in to some of the final key.
Now, some of these things now I'm going to move a little quicker just
because of time and I'm just going to give you some kind of bang, bang, bang.
Things to think about and apply.
We've done some of the deep work, OK?
It's like building a building.
The first thing you have to do is lay
the foundation and that takes the longest.
And so we really dug, we dug deep.
We said, what mindset do I have?
How did I get that mindset?
How do I change that mindset?
We dug deep.
What makes a mindset?
How does the mindset affect my life?
What can I do differently?
How is that? How am I living that today?
So we really dug, dug deep at the roots where the greatest change.
I'll tell you what, if you take care of the roots,
the fruit will take care of itself, right?
So make sure the lemons will keep the
lemon tree will keep producing from within out of the heart flows,
the abundance of life out of the heart flows, the abundance guard.
The scripture says guard your heart.
Why? Because out of it flows all of the issues of life.
Right.
So we really talked about the mind, heart,
mouth connection that we think a thought which is only a start.
The thoughts don't you know, thoughts can just kind of come and go.
They can just be like birds flying over your head.
The thoughts are going to come all the time.
You're going to have positive thoughts, negative thoughts, good, bad.
They're just going to happen.
Just picture them like clouds in the sky or birds flying over.
The key is you don't want to let them make a nest in you.
Right.
You don't want the bird to build a nest here.
You don't want the bird pooping on your on your head.
Right.
And so it's OK.
The thoughts are going to come.
Just release them as quickly as they come.
That's not a problem.
OK, what then becomes significant is when it moves from your head to your heart
and now you add the emotion, the energy in motion.
Now you start vibrating at the frequency of it.
You're starting to become it.
And so that frequency is affecting your health, your organs.
You know how much you're closed up, how much you're open, you're receptive.
All of that's happening, the frequency.
And those of you that have done my other
courses, that frequency affects your view of God, your view of life,
your view of yourself, I mean, all of that is affected by that frequency.
That's why it's so important to look at the feelings.
OK, and then from that, right, it's radiating out and attracting fear,
attracts, love, attracts.
So you've gotten the tools now to really nourish the root.
Now we're just going to build up the tree really quick.
I'm going to talk about some of the other key factors in abundance, in prosperity.
Any one of these things alone can be powerful.
You can go back over them and dig deeper in any of these areas.
So one of the first ways that we really
activate abundance, one of the things that fuels abundance is desire, desire.
OK,
and there's a lot of scriptures about desire.
It's a common theme.
There's Proverbs.
If you look again, the wisest king,
Proverbs 13 says, hope deferred makes the heart sick.
But when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
So when you understand desire is actually a tree of life within you.
And so as we really get clear on our desires and we focus on our desires,
a lot of changes happen.
Right. And it's God's desire for you.
Psalms 20.
David says, may he grant you your heart's desires.
And I love Psalms 37.
Delight.
Again, this is a high frequency.
You're delighting.
You're starting to get back into life from a place of joy,
from a place of gratitude, from a place of delight, of the light.
OK, as you are in a place of delight, as you're in higher frequency,
you will will manifest the abundance and the joy and the peace quicker and quicker.
So this says, delight yourself in the Lord.
He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.
So but first, you've got to know them.
Now, there's another great little book.
I gave you the little abundance book, talked and read to you from that.
Another great little book is The Science of Getting Rich.
This is just loaded with gems.
Waddles, Wallace Waddles, I don't know.
It's a funny last name, but you want to read this book.
okay? The science of getting rich. And in there it says, desire is possibility-seeking expression.
So we know in the world, and when you get into quantum physics, we know there's infinite
possibility. There's no limit. That's why there's the luck, because it's ever-expanding. Life is
ever-expanding. You're meant to be ever-expanding. The universe is ever-expanding, okay?
Life is such that it's always seeking expression. It's always seeking to expand. And so desire is
simply of that possibility that exists, the infinite possibilities. Desire is that seeking
expression. We want to move from possibility to expression, okay? And he goes on to say,
it is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich. Now, for many of you with programming,
this is going to be a conflict. I want to talk about it for half a second. God just put it on
my spirit. So I shared my whole crazy background, and I decided I didn't want any money. So then
I'm 16, 17 years old, and I now get introduced to the church, and I get the misteaching
that money is the root of all evil, okay? No. The love of mammon, making money your source. We've
already gone all over that, okay? Not money. If money was evil, why did God give it so lavishly?
Just look at his children, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, Esther. I mean, money flowed. The promised land
was all about a land of milk and honey, okay? No, no, no. But I bought right into it. I was like,
yeah, I agree. I don't want any. Keep it out of my life again. So many of us think that desire,
which means de, de, of the sire, of the father, we think desires are bad, and so we don't want
to have any desires, and we shut them down. No. Desires are the fuel, and they're very important,
okay? And especially in a renewed mind, in a redeemed heart, they're especially important.
Those desires are clues to your gifts, to your purpose, to what God has for you. It starts with
the desire, okay? So in Science of Getting Rich, he says, it's perfectly right you should desire
to be rich. If you're a normal man or woman, you cannot help but desire that. It's perfectly right
you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest
and most necessary of all studies. Now, this might be a little mind-renewing for you, okay?
Have you studied the Science of Getting Rich? It says, if you neglect this study,
you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God, and humanity, for you can render to God
and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself. Do you get this? This is all
about you expressing, you becoming, you stepping into the fullness, the greatest version of you.
What parent doesn't want that for their kid? What God doesn't want that of us, you see? So,
you know, if you got twisted in your childhood, like I did, like, oh, it's really good to be poor,
and okay, I'm going to look up to like Mother Teresa, because she's just like living with the
poorest of poor. Yes, she served the poorest of poor. Do you have any idea how much was in
her account when she died? Has anyone done the research in her non-profit that she ran,
her charity? A hundred million, and that's only part of it. So, don't get the idea, because someone
is choosing to serve the poor, that she didn't like money. She would go in and ask for money like
the best of them. She would meet the wealthiest of people and seek donations with no problem. She
could charge any price, those of you that were saying about asking price, okay? So, understanding
that we don't want to shut this down. Playing small doesn't serve anybody. You being the smallest,
most confined, most limited, most stuck version of you is not good for God. It's not good for
your family. It's not good for the world. It's not good for anyone. You understand this? So,
it is right and good to want to have the highest expression of who you are and make the most of
yourself, and in the science.
of getting rich, he goes into the details. It's very noble to expand your mind with beauty and
culture and reading and foods and experiences and travel. It's very noble to expand your soul
with having the time to meditate and to read and grow your spirit. It's very noble to take
care of your body. It is when you have the abundance that you can take the best supplements,
that you can eat the most high quality organic foods for you and your family, that you can get
the best medical care. In other words, all of this is important. So, desire of the father.
Now, remember, you can choose any desire. You can choose to play big or you can choose to play
small. It's all choice. If you've never heard this poem, this poem kind of shaped my life 30 years
ago and I've never forgotten it. It says, I bargained with life for a penny and life would pay no more.
However, I begged at evening when I counted my scanty store. For life, capital L, is a just employer.
He gives you what you ask, but once you have set the wages, why you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire only to learn dismayed that any wage I had asked of life,
life would have paid.
So, we activate abundance with desire. We activate, these are abundance activators I'm
giving you now, we activate abundance with our attention and our focus. Very, very important. So,
first, get very, very clear on your desire. Write them, think about them, have pictures of them,
meditate on them, feel them, and then begin to give your attention and your focus. Let me tell
you something about attention. I told you, we're going to play in all fields. I love scripture,
I love science, I love quantum physics, I love playing in all fields. So, you guys, bear with me,
this is who I am. So fun. Okay, there was, in quantum physics, there's the double slit experiment. You
guys can look this up, you can read about it, study it for yourself, the double slit experiment.
So, essentially what happened is, in a container, there was these light, particles of light, waves
of light existing, okay? And there was two slits, and so they were recording how these
bounced on the screen, and they could have pictures of it, and they could see what was happening in
there. And so, when it was left to itself, it was just waves, okay? And this is our world, okay?
In infinite possibility, infinite potentiality, we now know it's not like we once thought. Things are
not either wave or solid, they're both, and they can change between them, okay? And so, we now
understand the new physics, not, you know, the Newtonian physics, but, you know, quantum physics.
We now know that everything exists as either a wave, or a particle, or both, okay? And so,
in the back, on the screen, the recordings showed that there was just infinite waves, there was just
infinite potentiality. When an observer looked at the waves, looked through the slit,
the waves, simply by the attention, the waves took form and became a particle. They condensed from
waveform into solid. They became reality. They became a thing. They became a solid particle.
Now, I want you to think about that for a minute. The only thing that was different,
all of nature is responding to our attention. The only thing that was different was giving it
attention. This is true in our life. In your life, all around you is infinite potentiality.
By your attention, by your focus, within all of the possibilities, think of like, I don't know,
however you want to think about it, a million waves, think about a million lottery balls just
floating in the air. When you grab one and give it your attention and your focus, you're
solidifying it. You're bringing it into your reality. This is super important. What are you
giving your attention to? Because we know that energy flows where the attention goes.
We know whatever we give attention, whatever we focus on expands. If you're giving attention to
lack, if you're giving attention to not enoughness, if you're giving attention to whatever, you're
getting more.
or of that, if you're giving attention to what's broken,
what's wrong, what's missing.
If you're asking questions like why, why do I suck?
Why can't I do this?
Why am I broke?
Why can't I get ahead?
All of that is expanding so that you're getting more of it.
You're just being fed what you're speaking,
thinking, feeling, you see?
So we want to be sure that we focus on what we desire.
Again, this is training your mind, not on what you don't.
And again, you're not judging by appearances.
You're not collapsing your reality by what you see
in your bank account or anything else, right?
So this comes in a lot of forms, okay?
I've heard it described like this,
like I'm just a rock in a river.
And if I'm just walking in allowance and acceptance,
the water's just kind of flowing
and everything's just moving.
There's flow.
But the minute that I try to resist,
it now becomes concrete.
So whenever I start resisting, whatever I resist, persist.
If I argue with it, it just made bigger.
If I declare war on it, it just got bigger.
So think about that.
Think about the war on drugs, the war on cancer,
war on poverty, like how are we doing with our wars?
No, it just gets bigger.
Whatever we focus on.
And so this is really important for activation for you
as you train your mind, because remember,
we said we're transformed by the renewing of our mind.
That starts with what are you giving your attention to?
What do you focus on?
What do you meditate on?
What do you talk about?
What do you think about?
What do you imagine, right?
And so we wanna turn that into the positive.
So we want to use visioning or visualization
to activate that which we desire.
We don't wanna give our attention
to what's missing, broken, lacking.
No, no, no, no, no.
What's wrong?
What's wrong in the world?
This is why I never, ever, ever listened to the news.
I hear what's going on.
It's enough.
It gets no more than five minutes out of my day.
I don't want that in my picture.
No, no, no, no, no.
We want to give our attention.
We wanna solidify.
We wanna make real.
We wanna make our reality,
which is based on our perception,
which is based on what we're giving attention to,
that which is abundant.
So visioning.
You see this in the Bible all over.
I'm gonna give you one example, Abraham, okay?
So Abraham and Sarah,
they have a promise from God
that he's gonna be a father.
He goes from being Abraham to Abraham
to becoming the father of nations,
that he's gonna father an entire nation, okay?
This is his life purpose and vision that he gets from God.
Now, what's interesting is that they're 100 years old
and they still don't have a child.
So what do you think they're focusing on?
Focusing on menopause, came and went,
50 years past menopause.
Focusing on a wound that's dried up.
Focusing on there's probably not any eggs happening.
Focusing on there's probably not any sperm happening.
Focusing on there may not even be any sex happening.
Who knows?
So there's all this focus on why it's not possible,
why it's impossible, okay?
And so God knows that God has already promised,
and God's promises are all yes and amen.
But here's the challenge.
God's working through us, through humans always, okay?
And so God has to somehow take this infinite potentiality,
for him to build a nation is no problem, right?
To make him fertile, to make him prosperous is no problem.
The problem, we said, as we read earlier
in the abundance book, I have limited,
I, me, have limited the unlimited by my thoughts,
by my beliefs, by my meditations, right?
So Abraham's no different.
When Sarah and Abraham are getting the promise,
I mean, Sarah laughs.
I mean, she's in hysterics, like, you're too funny, God.
Like, hello, menopause happened 50 years ago.
You're too funny.
This is hilarious.
I'm not gonna be a mother, right?
Don't you understand reality?
Judge not by appearances, okay?
God knows in order to get this to Abraham,
he's gotta get it through Abraham.
To get it through Abraham, Abraham has to renew his mind.
Otherwise the promise can't go through.
The block is Abraham.
So look.
Look at what God does with Abraham.
Abraham, we find in Genesis 15,
God brings Abraham outside of his tent in the night
and the sky is dark and there's a million stars out there.
And he says, look up there right now, look at the heavens.
We need to do some visioning.
Look to the heavens and I need you to count the stars
if you're able to count them.
Come on, Abraham, start counting.
And he's counting, and 99, 100, and 999,
and 1,000, and 9,000, and I can't, God, it's too many.
Ah, you're catching a glimpse of infinite potentiality,
unlimited, an unlimited, ever-expanding universe.
You're catching, you're starting to see like I see Abraham.
And he says, okay, Abraham, hold that thought,
hold that picture, hold abundance, renew your mind,
just like the stars, just like the galaxies,
just like the abundance, hold that thought.
That's how many descendants you're gonna have.
Every time you think about descendants,
don't think about your shriveled up sperm,
think about the stars and how many there are in heaven.
Imagine that, put that in your vision
or put that in your God-given image maker.
That's how you're gonna manifest it.
You see how this works?
Powerful, we have to do the same thing.
Think and grow rich says you've got to read,
you've got to see, you've got to feel,
you've got to believe yourself
already in possession of the money.
Mark 11.24 says, whenever you pray,
believe you have already received it and you will see it.
You will see it.
So this visioning, you want pictures surrounding you,
images, vision board, anything that reminds you.
I've got reminders everywhere I look,
in my journals, on my walls, on my bulletin boards,
in multiple rooms, this is what I focus on, okay?
And so you can do this with pictures,
you can do it with images, you can create a vision board.
Now, with your vision board, don't just make it,
put it on a piece of paper and throw it in your closet,
put it where you see it every day.
I recommend using a cork board for your vision board
so you can interact with it.
You can move it around and play with it
and add more and take things off
and then add all the things that I've taught you
to your vision board, look at it
and tap into the feeling tonality of it
and imagine it, like actually live it
and speak to it and even write about it,
like really bring this to life, okay?
You also do this by writing with your words.
You've got your written word, your spoken words, okay?
So journaling, Habitat 2-2 says,
write the vision and make it plain
so those who see it may run with it.
One of the first things I do with coaching clients
is have them make a personal vision.
My Prosper Leader members have a personal vision
and a business vision,
because the opposite of the scripture says,
without vision, the people perish.
When you don't have a vision,
there's something in you that's dying.
The desire is not being stirred up,
you're not imagining, you're not looking at it,
you're not speaking it, you're not meditating,
you're not thinking of it, you're perishing, right?
So write the vision, make it plain
so the one who sees it may run with it.
Well, guess what?
Who's the first person that's gonna see it?
You, you wanna write this new every day,
you wanna look at it constantly, play with it, okay?
We're the first person that needs to see it,
and so you just practice this every day.
All right, the last thing I wanna share with you,
and then we'll kind of bring it to a landing,
are the concept of spiritual laws.
There's certain spiritual laws,
just like the law of gravity,
there's certain laws that if you work with them,
they create results.
If you work against them,
well, you're running against the wind, okay?
So some spiritual laws, there's lots of them.
There's the law of giving, or the first law of creation,
the law of expectation, the law of receiving,
the law of promotion, the law of supply,
the law of increase, the law of gratitude.
Now, before you get overwhelmed, just start with one,
just really come to understand
the law of giving and receiving.
And when you kind of really got that,
then look at another one
and start to understand the law of expectation, okay?
Just work your way through these.
There's a great book, a great resource
called, Working With The Law by Ray.
Raymond Hollywell, working with the law by Raymond Hollywell.
And I quote from the book, he says, working with the law when
we understand it may become as simple as touching the light
button, like an electrician, which when we do, it floods our
mentality with illumination and understanding. So learning to
work with the law. So the first law, one of the main laws, the
law of giving and receiving, it's all the way through
scripture. In scripture, you're going to notice something really
important if you haven't noticed it already. Okay. And that is
the boomerang effect. The boomerang effect, okay, it's all
the way through the Bible, judge not less, I'll be judged, give
and you will receive right? It goes on and on and on. Always
like what I'm doing is coming back to me. Okay, boomerang
effect. So giving does a lot of things. It's got the boomerang
effect, it opens the flow. Okay. Um, I like something that my
coach Derek Rydell often says, he says life is not withholding
from us. Often you feel this way, don't you? You feel like,
wow, I just got gypped. You know, somehow I wasn't in the
right line, the right place. Somehow I got gypped. And life
is just not blessing me. It's not withholding. It's
withholding from me. But the truth is, we are withholding
from life. We're not giving, we're not expanding, we're not,
right. And so, um, and so that's why, again, another wise proverb
says, give freely, and become more wealthy, be stingy, and
lose everything. So this seems very counterintuitive, doesn't
it? I think, oh, I can't give I don't have enough. But the truth
with the boomerang effect is I give freely, I actually become
more wealthy. In the New Testament, Jesus says it this
way, in Luke 638. Jesus says, give generously, and generous
gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for
more abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an
overflowing measure, that it'll run over the top. The
measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your
return. So if you've been withholding, the opposite of
giving is stagnation, the opposite of giving, and
generosity is constipation. Okay, and we become constipated, we
become constipated in our mind, we become constipated in in the
way that we live, okay, it's the opposite. Okay. And so what we
want to do to break this is the law of giving, we want to open
flow, flow is natural, everything that is alive, has
flow, okay, our body has flow, a flow of oxygen, a flow of blood,
right? Everything has flow, everything in life has flow. And
so if we're constipated, we're blocking the flow. And so the
way to unblock, remember, I'm never going to just tell you
problems or vague laws, I'm going to give you practical
ways to create change immediately. If you've been
stuck, take a look at your giving. Now some of you are
over givers. So some of you go, I've been giving, giving, but
I'm not getting any back. Okay, now, you got to go to the root
of that. And you have to go, what place where am I coming
from? Am I giving from a place of lack? Like, I hope I'll get
love if I give I hope I'll be accepted. I'll hope they'll
notice. I hope if I give because I lack are you giving from a
place of lack? Or are you giving from a place of abundance, I
have so much I'm overflowing, and I'm just activating the
flow, and more and more and more. So if you're constipated,
when it comes to money, take a look at giving, okay. And
there's all kinds of levels of giving, but this I'm just
giving kind of an introduction to know that you got to take a
look at the flow in your life. And giving activates flow.
Everything in life is flow. We speak of workflow. We use flow
charts, we monitor our blood flow as an indicator of our
health, we pray for over flow. In fact, the word affluence
means an abundant flow, or supply, profusion or a flowing
towards, right. So if you're affluent, there's a flow.
Oh, coming toward you.
The word currency, which we use for money, is another word for flow.
It's an electrical term means flow.
So understanding and knowing how to activate flow,
one is the most important concepts we need to prosper.
And so the way that we activate flow, first of all,
we've got to break the mindset of lack.
We've already covered that.
And then from that, we have the right actions of giving
and using. So go back to the parable of the talents, right?
So he had the wrong mindset led to fear.
He was operating in a frequency of fear.
So he didn't use what he had.
He buried what he had.
It was stagnant.
It was constipated, did not produce a return, did not multiply.
And that was the one that God, the land owner called wicked,
not the ones that were using the money,
investing the money, growing the money, having the money.
No, he gave more money to them.
So to activate flow, you have to use and give what you have.
So another interesting story.
OK, the scripture is just so rich in this.
I can't help it, but just share all of this.
So Elijah comes to the widow.
OK, her husband had been a prophet.
And so, Elijah, they were in a company of prophets.
Elijah knew this widow very often stayed in the home came.
The the man dies.
The prophet dies.
And she's left bankrupt.
She finds out that he's in debt and they're going to come
and they're going to take her children as collateral.
And so Elijah comes and she's like, you got to help me.
And Elijah asked her to get purpose.
What do you desire? What do you want?
What do you want me to do?
And she talks about, I want to not have to sell my kids.
I need money. I need help.
And he then doesn't just give her, OK, here, here's money.
No, he's got to teach her to activate flow.
She has to understand flow.
She has to use what she has.
So the first question he has is, what do you have?
And of course, she says nothing, just only a little bit of oil.
This is what you and I do, because we've gotten in the habit
of focusing on lack and you go, what do you have?
I don't have anything. I'm barely making it.
I don't have anything. Right.
Even though we already talked about it, we're abundant.
We're living like more than kings, but we still think we lack.
So she operated and answered in lack.
And she said, I don't have anything, just a little oil.
He says, OK, oil, we're going to use what you have.
So here in Second Kings four, he says, borrow as many empty jars
as you can from your friends and neighbor.
Then go into your house with your sons.
Shut the door behind you and pour olive oil.
Use what you have.
Pour olive oil from your flask into the jar,
setting each one aside when it gets full.
So she pours the first one, moves it, pours the second one, moves it, pours it.
Keeps on going.
She's filling every jar.
Pour, pour, pour.
And then there's no more jars.
And her son keeps bringing jars to her.
She filled one after another.
They were filled to the brim.
And then she says, bring me another one.
And he said, they say there aren't any more.
And he and then when he said that, the olive oil stopped flowing.
I'm going to ask you.
Who was in control of the flow?
Where was the lack or limitation in the flow?
It was her mindset, it was her belief, it was how many jars she could get,
how many she believed she deserved, how many seem practical and not greedy
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That's what determined.
But there's a lot of lessons in this.
And one of them is if you're in a place that's hard, you've got to use,
you've got to activate what you have.
So one of the first things you want to do is you want to start to look.
I have an exercise called what's in my hand.
And I want you to list everything that you could possibly use or activate.
What do I have? What do I have?
I've got a computer. What do I have?
I've got a phone. What do I have?
I've got a course that I made. What do I have?
Like look at all the things that you have.
OK, and then start looking at how can I start to flow?
How can I use that to add value?
How can I use this to multiply?
So here's some things you can do to activate flow.
First of all, remove clutter.
OK, clutter.
The word for clutter is stuck energy.
It means coagulate like in your body, like blood clot.
OK, like to clot, clutter, clutter.
OK, stuck.
energy. All right. So these are the places look at where you're
consuming or hoarding and start to look at how you can give how
you can produce with what you have. Can you take that and
bless someone with it? Can you take that and use it? Can you
take that and donate it? Can you take that like start looking at
let me just clear the clutter. Okay, this will be huge and
activating flow, clutter, clutter blocks to flow. Second,
from what I already taught you understand everything's already
in you. So shift your focus from trying to get it's not that you
need to get more clients. It's not that you need to get more
money. It's not something outside of you. Radiate start
practicing radiating and start radiating and saying here's the
question, how can I add more value? What can I do today to
add more value? This is a question I ask every day is
where this course came from. Everything that I do the
prosper leader membership, it's always how can I add more value?
What else can I do to give more value? Money is an exchange for
value. It happens naturally you're activating the flow.
Gratitude and appreciation also activate the flow. You've heard
the saying that which we appreciate, appreciates, create
writing, painting, building. One of my favorite ways to
experience flow is to have God right through me. I'll do this
in journaling. I'll ask him a question, one color, I'll write
it in one question in pink, grab the purple pen, and allow the
flow to happen. Allow God to write through me. You can ask
him, you remember we talked about channel, right? You can
become a channel for others, right? You say God, love through
me. God, create through me, give through me, bless through me,
heal through me, write through me, teach through me, coach
through me. Do you feel the flow? God is the source, you're
the channel. As the channel, God's flow is unlimited,
infinite potentiality to absolutely flow. This is
sweatless victory. This is not push and shove, strive, grind
it out. This is you saying, I'm a channel, I'm open. Open is a
word for flow. I'm available. I'm receptive. Tithing. Tithing
is a great way to break the mindset of lack. I'm talking
about systematic tithing. This goes back before the Bible and
the Hebrews, it goes back to the Babylonians. It was a number one
principle, 10%. Tithe means 10%. 10% giving, activating flow.
This goes all the way. Probably Abraham got it first time
because he grew up in Ur of the Chaldeans. He saw these
Babylonian laws happening and he understood. He gave before ever
the Hebrew nation, he gave to Melchizedek, the king. You see
this, he gave 10%. You see this activated. Be very systematic
about it. I really recommend and I'll talk if I have a second,
how to go about that, but I want to stay in the time. Focus on
serving, focus on adding value. Transition from being a
consumer to a creator. You're not here just to consume,
consume. You're not Pac-Man. Focus on being a creator. Money
is service energy. Money is an exchange for value. Focus on how
can I add value? I want you to consider in your life, as we're
talking about flow, how have you been blocking flow? We address
mindset. That was one of the roots. Now from the root, what
happens? The roots in the ground, it pulls the water from
the ground and it pulls it up into the trunk, into the leaves
and into the fruit. That's flow. Of course, there's more flow.
It's taking in our carbon monoxide and it's breathing out
oxygen. There's all this flow going on. When you think back to
the example of the tree, we dealt with the roots, which was
our thinking, our mindset. Now we're activating flow, making
sure it's flowing through the whole tree, because life in a
natural state is like a flow, like a river. Energy is always
moving. It's always circulating. Often we block that flow and
that's like building a dam in the river.
So when we block the flow, we cease to be in the present.
Fear leads us to try to control.
So now fear constricts, gets constipated.
And now we get attached to things, we resist things.
So we're solidifying the waveform of infinite potentiality
into hardness, into our life.
And so we start blocking the flow.
If we see anything as source, right?
If I think my job is my source,
if I think money is my source,
if I think the government's my source,
now I've blocked flow.
That's not source, that's a channel.
I start to feel separated from God that is in me.
And I start looking for things to be my source.
And that belief, that belief in separation,
that belief in lack blocks the flow.
We stop listening to our heart.
We get stuck in our head.
We get stuck, we get like a broken record
where we're just repeating over and over and over
statements of lack.
I didn't get enough sleep.
I don't have enough energy.
I don't have enough money.
I don't have enough time.
Lack, lack, lack, we're like the lack duck, right?
The Aflac duck, right?
We're the lack, lack, lack.
I lack time, I lack money.
I lack clients.
I lack skills.
I lack, right?
And we start with each time blocking the flow.
So the final thing is the law of expectation.
What are you expecting?
Scripture says, according to your faith, be it unto you.
What are you expecting from your life?
What are you expecting about love?
Is that the highest, most glorious, most amazing love?
What are you expecting for prosperity?
Are you expecting that you're just gonna prosper
so abundantly and it's gonna be ever expanding?
Or are you expecting, are you planning
that you're gonna be broke and sick and without?
And are you imagining that?
It says in Romans 10, that when we rely on the truth source,
we'll not be disappointed in our expectations, okay?
The law of expectation, we see it everywhere.
Think about the placebo effect in medicine, right?
So if we believe it's going to work, okay?
We know, for example,
that the recent jabs for the pandemic, right?
We know that it was an experiment, right?
And so a multitude of people received a placebo.
But what we know from medicine, the placebo effect is
that if we expect the medicine will work,
then it will work for us, okay?
The opposite of that, of course, is the nocebo.
So Latin means to harm, nocebo, okay?
It's the opposite.
So if we think that there's going to be a negative effect
by something, an adverse effect from something,
we're more likely to experience that.
The same thing happens in business.
What do you expect is gonna happen in your business?
If you have powerful expectation, it'll inspire you.
It'll inspire your team.
It'll inspire your clients.
So the law of expectation happens in our brain.
I don't have time to go into that,
but it affects your reticular activating system.
It affects your amygdala.
It affects your memory.
It affects the neural network.
It's strengthened.
I mean, there's so much to the law of expectation.
And all I want you to understand right now is it's a law
and it works.
You can work against it or you can work with it.
So this kind of summarizes everything I've taught you
so far.
If you're gonna apply the law of expectation,
this really brings home.
And it's an acronym for faith.
And this acronym is feel as if
the thing has already happened.
Okay, again, I shared Mark 11 24.
Jesus said, when you pray, when you ask, believe,
there's the mind that you have already received it.
There's the expectation and you will see it.
Okay, here's the principle.
Feel as if the thing has happened.
So operate, the law of expectation is operate
in the frequency that it's already done.
In other words, start to live
as if you already are abundant.
Start to live.
as if you already are a highly successful coach, writer, speaker, author, healer,
start to live the frequency of, this is already done, I'm already there.
Now it's just a matter of it just being played out, but it starts within. You're not waiting
for an external circumstance to change first. Remember, we said that's external locus of control,
and external locus of control, that's a victim mindset, that's a lack mindset. If you're waiting
for the government to change, your boss to change, the economy to change, for you to be happy,
healthy, you're on a losing train. It's not outside of you. The lemons are not outside
the lemon tree. The lemons come from within the lemon tree. Everything you desire is going to
come out of the heart, flows the issues of life. Think about when you plant a seed. I love planting
a seed. Sometimes I cheat with my tower garden and I get the little sprouted seed already,
but you plant a seed. You expect a harvest, otherwise you wouldn't buy the seed or till
the garden or plant the seed. You're doing it because you expect a harvest,
and you begin to imagine the harvest. I'm getting a harvest of zucchini right now, and I was already,
I see the flowers, I'm already imagining. I truly did. I imagined zucchini bread. I was really
excited about zucchini bread. I love making zucchini bread. I'm already preparing for the
harvest. I'm already thinking about it. Water, fertilize, keep the weeds out. I understand
there's a gestation period. I don't get stressed that when I plant the seed, I don't dig it up
immediately and see if it's growing. If I'm in business, I'm adding value. I have the expectation
I'm going to prosper. I'm going to have clients. I'm going to add value. I'm going to grow every
year. I've had that expectation that I would grow. Prosper celebrated ten years this year.
So grateful to God. I started Prosper from nothing. That's a whole other story.
From an empty house, no money, nothing. That's another story. Ten years. Just went to the CPA
a couple days ago. I grew again. Ten years in a row, every single year. Prosper has grown,
ever expanding. That's the expectation. That's the intention. That's the actions.
That's the infinite possibility. That's our God. God is ever expanding. So same thing. When we
plant a seed, we understand there's a gestation period. We may not see it. They have different
gestation periods. I know sometimes I take a risk and I don't see the fruit immediately.
I know when I hired my lead generator, I had to pay $799. I took a risk. I knew there was a
gestation period. She told me, gestation period 90 days before I would see it. I would start to see.
So I knew three months the seed was in the ground. I'm not going to dig it up. I'm not going to quit.
I'm not going to give up. I have expectation. And the expectation played out. Same thing with
my copywriter. $1,000 a month, same thing. Same thing with my marketing team, $8,500 a month.
90 days, gestation period. Some gestation periods are short. They take weeks. Some gestation
periods take months. Some take years. How long is an elephant pregnant? How many years does it
take for bamboo? Different gestation periods. But I don't walk away. I don't give up. I keep my mind
focused. I live it now. I expect that it has already happened. And so finally, we take action.
We take action. We choose to stop giving away our power. We create new habits. We commit to adding
value. We commit to activating flow. So I want to ask you today, listening to this,
what is one action that you're absolutely committed to do? If you just take one action,
one nugget, you see, this is completely useless. If you just listen and forget about it, put away
and go on. And you don't have to absorb it all. I know today was like drinking from a fire hose.
And believe me, I think, I don't know what this was, 100 slides. I probably deleted another 25 or 30.
Too much. I get that. I wanted to give you value. I wanted to activate awareness. I wanted to
activate flow. I desired for you. And all you need, I know it only takes one change. With me,
when I met Leland Val Vanderwaal, it was just one nugget. It was the awareness that what I believed
about money was creating what I was experiencing about money. And that if I could change my
thoughts,
I could change my experience, I could choose to take action.
And as I changed, my life changed.
I went on to build multimillion dollar nutritional network marketing companies.
I went on to found prosper in all things and become a coach to coaches.
I began by founding a coach certification
program, science, science back, biblically based, most comprehensive coach
certification on the market to equip and empower coaches to prosper,
prosper TV, to give a platform for coaches to multiply.
And, you know, every day I say, pinch me.
Sometimes I even cry.
I have the best.
It's not crying like my job from hell that I hated.
It's crying from like, wow, God, I get to do this.
I get to equip and empower women to prosper in every area of their life.
And I do that only work in three days a week.
And I get to earn this kind of income and make this kind of transformation.
It's so powerful.
And so today, as you're listening to this,
I pray that third John, too, will become not just my life first,
but your life first, that you'll understand that you are loved,
that you are beloved, that you can be love
and that you can prosper in every area of your life.
And be in health.
Even as your soul.
Prosperous, if you have any questions, if I can serve you in any way,
if I can add value in your life, you can reach out to me.
Be it like Horsesbit dot L.Y.
B.I.T. dot L.Y. forward slash schedule.
That's a lowercase as schedule.
Brenda, that's a capital B.
All one word B.I.T. dot L.Y. schedule, Brenda.
And I'm happy to take a look at where you're at.
How can I provide you the coaching, the community, the courses,
the certification to allow you to prosper in every area of your life?
That's my prayer for you today.
And I'm so thankful that you chose to spend this day.
I'm so thankful you're in my life.
I'm so thankful for everything that God has in you, in you.
It's already there.
And I'm so thankful for you.
Thanks for being here today.
