00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.520
Hey everybody so it is day two of the rest intensive and I've loved getting to

2
00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:11.360
see those of you who popped in to do intro videos or update videos or

3
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:15.160
whatever. These are great I always love seeing lots of interaction in the group

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:23.320
where people are you know choosing to be more involved etc because the more

5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:30.280
involved that you are then the more it'll help you. I know some of you may be

6
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:36.120
like me and you don't like to be involved you might be introverts and so

7
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:40.280
I'm telling you this actually having watched and experienced it not only for

8
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.160
myself but with other people watching that the more that someone is involved

9
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:50.200
and the more that they're actually giving of themselves and being

10
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:54.800
intentional that's really what I'm trying to say the more that they get out

11
00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:58.920
of it and it's not really the involvement that's like magical it's

12
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:04.000
that the is that people have to be intentional in being in in being

13
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.160
involved and then a lot of times the more that you're involved the more

14
00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:12.880
intentional that you are and that you take that you take the what it is that

15
00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:16.480
you're learning about rest or or learning more about having to have faith

16
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.040
in the Lord etc and the more intentional you are the more it will

17
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.840
increase your faith and the more that it'll help you actually learn these

18
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.880
things and step into these things with the Lord in the spirit realm because

19
00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:31.860
you're finding it easier because you're doing it in the physical realm and it's

20
00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:36.280
just kind of one of those things that just when we do things in the physical

21
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:43.640
realm it just helps us translate into the translate how to actually accomplish

22
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.300
or shift into some area in the spiritual realm where if we don't have the

23
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:54.700
physical connection sometimes it's hard to understand how to do what it is that

24
00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:58.580
God is urging us to do in the spirit realm because it's it's unseen right we

25
00:01:58.580 --> 00:02:02.300
have a very meaning like we have a difficult time seeing it sometimes and

26
00:02:02.300 --> 00:02:09.300
it's not as it's obvious so doing things in the physical will just help you

27
00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:13.380
understand and then be able to do it in the spiritual and that's and when you do

28
00:02:13.380 --> 00:02:17.340
it in spiritual that's when everything happens so don't take me wrong I'm not

29
00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:20.520
saying that all of this stuff that you do in the physical and if you hey the

30
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:25.060
more you're involved in the in the group and the more you interact then it's just

31
00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:28.820
magical and that's that's what God wants and then it's gonna happen in the

32
00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:34.340
spiritual no there's no there's no connection it's just that being more

33
00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:40.020
involved and being more interactive in the group is a tool that psychologically

34
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:49.580
has an effect on us that tends to help people exponentially more to be able to

35
00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:52.460
accomplish certain things in the spiritual and it's just because of how

36
00:02:52.460 --> 00:02:58.180
God made us we are made to be very and we have a tendency to be very affected

37
00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:03.460
by what happens in the physical so it's just a tool in which we're just helping

38
00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:07.940
helping ourselves based on what we know about ourselves which is you know the

39
00:03:07.940 --> 00:03:11.300
more that we do things in physical the more things will or we're able to do it

40
00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:16.180
in spiritual as well so so that's great but what I wanted to talk about really

41
00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:20.100
quick is about overwhelm and it was just something that came to me the other day

42
00:03:20.100 --> 00:03:29.060
I actually had someone here locally that came by and and they were just we're

43
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:34.980
having a very difficult time and I and I was just you know you know just kind of

44
00:03:34.980 --> 00:03:39.220
reaching into the spirit and trying to figure out so what really is going on

45
00:03:39.220 --> 00:03:48.180
overwhelm and so what is the the root of overwhelm and and so I just thought maybe

46
00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:51.500
it was just something on my heart to be able to talk to you all about today and

47
00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:55.660
hopefully it'll be helpful to those of you that this resonates with maybe with

48
00:03:55.660 --> 00:04:00.460
what it is that you've got going on right now so overwhelm I know that that

49
00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:04.500
for most of you you have a basis to be able to to hear what I'm saying and for

50
00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:10.380
those of you you know that don't have much foundation yet in what rest is and

51
00:04:10.380 --> 00:04:14.020
what I mean by it don't worry we're gonna get to it remember our very first

52
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:20.779
our very first teaching is on is on Tuesday but I just wanted to to the

53
00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.500
majority of you have a have a basis and a foundation to be able to understand

54
00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:28.620
what I'm saying when I say this and that is that remember that what what rest

55
00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:34.000
actually is is that rest is when we are abiding in that place of union with the

56
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.680
Lord and because he is the all-sufficient one meaning that in him

57
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.000
we already have everything it means that he is creating the outcome we're not

58
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.960
we're just able to rest in him and just to be able to enjoy what it is that

59
00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:54.760
we're doing be able to enjoy being a part of things and then he actually

60
00:04:54.760 --> 00:05:00.920
creates the results so overwhelm is where we

61
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.800
bearing the the just the overwhelming weight in other words the very

62
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:17.800
oppressive stifling and and hindering and slowing down weight of bearing the

63
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.600
responsibility of the outcome of our actions. So if we have things that like

64
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.240
say for instance you have a lot of things going on in your life and a lot

65
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.960
of balls that you're trying to keep in the air you're that you're just juggling

66
00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:37.080
if you're feeling responsible for each one of those or feeling only partly

67
00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:43.560
responsible for all of them but the volume of them has added up the volume

68
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.760
of them of which you feel just partly responsible for because you know that

69
00:05:46.760 --> 00:05:52.240
God's actually responsible for them. If you feel even partly responsible for all

70
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.120
of them and you have a volume of them that you can start to feel oppressed and

71
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:05.200
pressurized by the by the weight of the amount of responsibility that you're

72
00:06:05.200 --> 00:06:10.080
carrying and remember God doesn't intend for us to carry that responsibility he

73
00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:19.520
wants us to rely on him to generate create fuel and energize and cause the

74
00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:25.160
actions and the results and not the actions the outcomes and the results of

75
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.800
what happens in our life. So what happens as a result of a business decision that

76
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:35.560
you make what happens as a result of how you how you approach and treat and

77
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.160
interact with a relationship what happens you know as a result of the

78
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.040
actions that you do around your house and you know how quote-unquote clean it

79
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:53.640
is or how you know how it looks right now or you know just whatever if we're

80
00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:58.200
God says that we're actually not responsible for the result we're

81
00:06:58.200 --> 00:07:03.560
responsible see but it says that my broadcast is having a very difficult

82
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:09.320
time let's see if I can oh it's not gonna let me hmm I thought I was gonna

83
00:07:09.320 --> 00:07:12.880
try to see if I could switch to cellular because it keeps says it keeps pausing

84
00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:17.320
so hopefully we're still going okay but anyway what he wants us to do is to rely

85
00:07:17.320 --> 00:07:22.000
on him to create the result and he just wants us to be able to enjoy the journey

86
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.840
of the relationship with him so you're actually not responsible for the results

87
00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:32.360
and the outcomes in your life if you let him be responsible for them if you're

88
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.880
not letting him be responsible for them and you yourself are deciding no I'm

89
00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:40.000
responsible for them well then you're the one who's gonna have to carry all

90
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.960
that weight so the Lord says you have the opportunity to not have to do that

91
00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:49.280
and he says we can give it to him and then he'll bear the weight and the

92
00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:55.200
responsibility of it and then we don't have to be and feel overwhelmed by

93
00:07:55.200 --> 00:08:00.680
everything it is that we have going on even if those things don't change even

94
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.720
if our circumstances and situations don't change and so experiencing life

95
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:09.800
like that experiencing the same volume of activity and the same numb the same

96
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.680
quote-unquote pressures meaning like things trying to come against you and

97
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.520
all kinds of stuff you can be in all of that and that just and that may not

98
00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:24.520
change and yet you don't feel overwhelmed because you're allowing God

99
00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:31.320
to bear the weight the responsibility of the outcome and you're just enjoying the

100
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.679
journey with him remember that you are not responsible for the outcome you're

101
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.360
not responsible for the response of creation so you just give it life we'll

102
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.160
be talking more about this and possibly later and some of this might be a bit

103
00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:49.520
more advanced and we may not be able to get to it all just simply because and

104
00:08:49.520 --> 00:08:55.160
there's just only so much time but so I'll just drop it you know here for now

105
00:08:55.160 --> 00:08:58.400
and hopefully we'll be able to have a moment where we can pick it up later but

106
00:08:58.400 --> 00:09:04.400
remember that you that you're not responsible for how creation responds to

107
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:08.800
what you give it all that God holds us accountable to is to make sure that

108
00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:13.760
whatever we give our business our relationships our finances whatever it

109
00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:19.840
is or that all that we give to it is spirit that's what God holds us

110
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.120
responsible for he doesn't hold us responsible for how the thing the

111
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.840
situation the business the relationship the finances the relationship with him

112
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:34.960
anything how that responds to us giving it life God just holds us responsible

113
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:40.640
for giving it life and not death in other words giving it spirit and not

114
00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:47.800
flesh that's it but we're not responsible for how it responds so if

115
00:09:47.800 --> 00:09:52.320
it's not responding according to some standard that we think of as well you

116
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.120
know as oh well this is a good response or this is a positive response or this

117
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.800
is a successful response you know

118
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.560
it may not respond like that and God doesn't hold us responsible for that. In

119
00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:08.520
fact, he holds himself responsible for it and you will see him

120
00:10:08.520 --> 00:10:13.800
come through as your provider and your protector because you are holding him

121
00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:19.040
responsible for the result and the outcome and he's not holding you

122
00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:24.480
responsible for it. So therefore, he will be responsible for it and he'll bear the

123
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.120
weight and responsibility of any of any of the quote-unquote consequences or how

124
00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:33.600
it responds and he'll make sure to protect and provide for you in it. So I

125
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.760
just wanted to encourage everybody just in case anybody was feeling overwhelmed

126
00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:42.600
and just thought I'd pop in with that really quick. So I hope you're all having

127
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:46.560
a really good Sunday and I'll talk to you later.
