WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000 We're in week four, how to release your identity flow. 2 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:06.520 That's what I wanna talk about. 3 00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:10.480 And it has been so fun to focus on identity. 4 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.640 And I woke up this morning and was just kind of 5 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.680 thinking through and organizing the points. 6 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:20.100 And it's really an amazing topic. 7 00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:23.960 I feel like I could keep going for a long time on this topic 8 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.840 because there's just so many, it's actually simple, 9 00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:31.720 but there's so much to discuss about identity 10 00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:33.820 and it's been really fun to focus on it. 11 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.340 But your identity that already exists within you, 12 00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:42.800 it's actually meant to flow, there's a flow. 13 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:46.040 And there's actually a flow to everything. 14 00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:51.040 And you know that because everything is in motion, 15 00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:54.320 everything on the planet, every person, 16 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.360 every animal, every plant, every rock, every tree, 17 00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:01.840 every molecule, every cell in your body is vibrating. 18 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.540 And the only explanation for that, 19 00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:06.980 that everything is vibrating and in motion 20 00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:09.360 is because something's flowing. 21 00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:11.480 As something doesn't vibrate, 22 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.080 you can't have a vibration without something flowing, 23 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:19.200 either air flowing when you play an instrument, 24 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.960 like when you play flute, 25 00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:23.920 you breathe your breath into the instrument 26 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.280 and the flow of your breath makes it vibrate 27 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.100 and make a sound. 28 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.500 So you can't have a vibration unless something is flowing 29 00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:34.740 and putting it into oscillation, that's the only way. 30 00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:38.540 So there seems to be this flow throughout all life. 31 00:01:38.540 --> 00:01:41.540 And it's not a surprise because, you know, 32 00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:44.560 the Bible says that there's a river of life 33 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.740 that flows from God's throne. 34 00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:50.060 And I think that river of life is flowing on the earth 35 00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:52.420 and it flows in everything. 36 00:01:52.460 --> 00:01:56.460 And since we are God's design, 37 00:01:56.460 --> 00:02:01.180 it makes sense that his river of life is flowing through us, 38 00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:03.060 which means our identity, 39 00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:07.860 who we are at our core is designed to be in that flow. 40 00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:12.660 So our identity is meant to flow through us 41 00:02:12.660 --> 00:02:15.020 and out from us. 42 00:02:15.020 --> 00:02:18.740 And sometimes for whatever reason, 43 00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:22.540 that flow can get frustrated or congested, 44 00:02:22.540 --> 00:02:25.340 or maybe that flow isn't flowing. 45 00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:28.740 Our identity maybe isn't flowing in the flow of life. 46 00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:32.140 So the river of life is always flowing, it never stops. 47 00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:34.580 But sometimes I think there's a way 48 00:02:34.580 --> 00:02:37.120 that we get out of that flow. 49 00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:40.260 So I wanna talk about how to release your identity 50 00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:44.420 so it's flowing freely throughout your being 51 00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:45.660 and out from you. 52 00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:48.580 And that's real living, that's true living. 53 00:02:49.660 --> 00:02:54.660 You know, we have within us our identity, 54 00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:59.540 who we are, we have this built-in capacity 55 00:02:59.540 --> 00:03:03.700 because we are created by God for wholeness, for success. 56 00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:06.620 All of those seven parts of the identity 57 00:03:06.620 --> 00:03:07.700 that I went through, 58 00:03:07.700 --> 00:03:11.260 we already have the built-in capacity to be those things, 59 00:03:11.260 --> 00:03:13.740 to be whole, to be successful, 60 00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:16.860 to be in relationship with God and with other people 61 00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:18.580 in a life-giving way. 62 00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:23.260 We already have a built-in capacity to embody Jesus, 63 00:03:23.260 --> 00:03:26.060 to operate as one with him. 64 00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:27.940 We already have a built-in capacity 65 00:03:27.940 --> 00:03:30.300 to inherit God's kingdom. 66 00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:34.560 We're made to inherit his kingdom, to be his heirs, 67 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.380 to be the image and likeness of God, to be connected, 68 00:03:38.380 --> 00:03:41.620 to be connected in life with the people around us. 69 00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:44.140 And we're also, we have a built-in capacity 70 00:03:44.140 --> 00:03:47.540 to experience spiritual connection with God 71 00:03:47.540 --> 00:03:50.940 and for that life of God, for that flowing life 72 00:03:50.940 --> 00:03:54.300 to always be present in us and flowing in us. 73 00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:55.780 Okay, we're already built for that. 74 00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:57.800 We already have that built-in capacity. 75 00:03:59.380 --> 00:04:04.380 And so it's just a matter of giving ourselves permission 76 00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:08.860 and consent to be in that flow. 77 00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:10.260 That's really what it is. 78 00:04:10.260 --> 00:04:13.860 So I wanna talk about releasing your identity. 79 00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:17.019 Identity flow is about being. 80 00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:18.339 We talked about that at the beginning. 81 00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:20.459 It's not really what you do. 82 00:04:20.459 --> 00:04:22.940 It's just a matter of just be. 83 00:04:22.940 --> 00:04:27.780 Like be who you are, be so that those capacities 84 00:04:27.780 --> 00:04:31.540 that are already built into you are flowing 85 00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:36.540 and are flowing in you and out of you. 86 00:04:37.020 --> 00:04:39.580 So it's just a matter of just be 87 00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:44.620 because the kingdom of God is within you, Luke 17, 21. 88 00:04:45.020 --> 00:04:46.540 And that's a truth and a fact. 89 00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:49.140 The kingdom of God is within you. 90 00:04:49.140 --> 00:04:53.160 And if that's true, it's either true or it's not 91 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.100 because you were made for the kingdom of God 92 00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:59.000 to be in you and to flow and to flow out of you. 93 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.280 and you are a living expression of God and you are a living expression of his kingdom. 94 00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:17.520 And that's really at the core of who you are that the kingdom of God is within you. And so I have a 95 00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:23.440 one of my good friends Graham Cook has been talking about me plus three that's his big 96 00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:30.880 thing right now. You know not only are you fearfully and wonderfully and remarkably made 97 00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:38.960 and designed to express God and to express his kingdom on earth that alone is incredible right 98 00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:44.880 if that was it if that was the only part of you that made you who you were you would be incredible 99 00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:51.120 but it doesn't stop there not only are you a living expression of God and made to express 100 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:59.360 his kingdom on the earth you have three other powers in you okay they're they're within you 101 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:05.200 because the kingdom of God is within you you have the father and you have the holy spirit and you 102 00:06:05.200 --> 00:06:12.560 have Jesus you have three plus yourself so that makes you a superhero like we talked about we are 103 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:21.440 walking around living superheroes okay so this is really really great news because there's 104 00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:27.120 nothing that's too much for you there's nothing you can't do there's nothing you can't overcome 105 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:33.840 there's nothing you can't walk through there's nothing that you can't have victory over with that 106 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:42.720 with that amount of power in you there's really there's really nothing that can overpower you 107 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:49.520 on this earth except for in your mind except for what you allow in your mind unlocking or releasing 108 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:59.120 your identity flow is about letting go okay so letting go of the identities that are not you 109 00:06:59.760 --> 00:07:07.360 maybe you know we all have adopted maybe false parts of our identity or identities that are not 110 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:13.920 really us maybe from parents that that said spoke you know things over us through our experience 111 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:20.640 through other people and it's just a matter of letting those go and then being so I'm going to 112 00:07:20.640 --> 00:07:31.120 go through I have a list here of what what to be so number one this is about just a state of being 113 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:38.000 be aware I think I think there's so many things on this earth that if you're simply aware it changes 114 00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:45.680 it's like once you're aware that oh I'm a child of God a lot of things change when you just become 115 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:53.600 aware of that so be aware of your identity that it's real your identity is real within you and 116 00:07:53.600 --> 00:08:01.840 it's already set in motion when you became a living being when the life of God entered your being 117 00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:09.600 at conception and you became a living being your identity with the flow of your identity was set 118 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.160 in motion and so just being aware of that being aware of who you are at the center of your being 119 00:08:16.880 --> 00:08:22.480 that that it is it is there and it is real and you deserve to have 120 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:33.520 to allow that to come out so just being aware of your identity and being aware of moments where 121 00:08:33.520 --> 00:08:40.240 maybe you are frustrating that flow of your identity and you know I don't think we're going 122 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:46.640 to always do it perfectly because there are things in in this life that discourage us and 123 00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:52.960 make us afraid and there are times when the enemy lies to us and those are it's hard it's not easy to 124 00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:00.000 deflect those things but just being aware of it I think when we start to frustrate 125 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.960 the flow of our identity or we start to maybe congest the flow of our identity 126 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:13.440 we can we can do something about it when we're aware the the number two is be forgiving 127 00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:21.200 the bible talks about forgiving it's all over the place and that includes yourself so anything that 128 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:29.200 you would do for your child or for someone that you love if you would forgive your child or your 129 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:35.360 spouse or forgive your family member when they did something wrong you you need to do the same 130 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:42.160 thing for yourself okay so be forgiving of yourself let yourself off the hook because you know what 131 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:49.760 god has done that for you god has let you off the hook god has forgiven you before you've even done 132 00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:57.520 anything wrong so be forgiving of yourself for every mistake every poor decision every shortcoming 133 00:09:57.520 --> 00:09:59.840 every failure every 134 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.640 time you acted and behaved in a way that wasn't congruent with who you really are, anytime 135 00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:14.560 you missed an opportunity, anytime you held back, anytime you were afraid and didn't move 136 00:10:14.560 --> 00:10:20.320 out, all of those things, you can be forgiving to yourself, just like you would someone close 137 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:21.320 to you that you love. 138 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.900 You can treat yourself the same way. 139 00:10:23.900 --> 00:10:27.340 Number three, be accepting. 140 00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:36.340 And this is really, really something that is, I think one of the big things that frustrates 141 00:10:36.340 --> 00:10:41.100 the flow of your identity is when we are not accepting of ourself or we're rejecting of 142 00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:42.500 ourself. 143 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:48.100 So if you're accepting yourself, that means the good, the bad, the strengths, the weaknesses, 144 00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:52.980 the flaws, you're accepting all of yourself. 145 00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:57.300 Your identity is going to be able to continue to flow as long as you're accepting yourself 146 00:10:57.300 --> 00:11:06.180 because the truth is it's unrealistic to think that you're never going to do something wrong 147 00:11:06.180 --> 00:11:07.180 or get it wrong. 148 00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:09.260 That's just unrealistic. 149 00:11:09.260 --> 00:11:12.020 And God made provisions for that. 150 00:11:12.020 --> 00:11:14.740 God already set us up for success in that. 151 00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:16.080 That's why we have Jesus. 152 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.540 That's why he works in our life. 153 00:11:18.540 --> 00:11:24.700 So we can, it's unrealistic to think that we're always going to be perfect. 154 00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:29.580 So just being accepting of all of you, of all of it, because you're growing, you're 155 00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:31.060 developing, you're learning. 156 00:11:31.060 --> 00:11:36.100 Every mistake you learn from, every time you mess up, God's there to pick you up and redeem 157 00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:37.100 it. 158 00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:41.580 Every time you fall in a pit, God's there to bring you out. 159 00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:47.340 And being accepting of yourself includes any judgments, any judgments you've made towards 160 00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:49.380 yourself. 161 00:11:49.380 --> 00:11:54.220 Anything you've held, like anything you've held against yourself, like, oh, I remember 162 00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:56.420 that. 163 00:11:56.420 --> 00:12:02.100 Anything that from the past that you're still holding against yourself, you know, just letting 164 00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:09.420 that go, saying bye-bye, goodbye, comparing yourself to other people, and then turning 165 00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:15.540 to yourself and saying, I'm not good enough, or I am not acceptable because I'm not like 166 00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:16.540 that. 167 00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:22.380 So just being accepting, being loving and accepting of yourself. 168 00:12:22.380 --> 00:12:23.940 And this is huge. 169 00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:31.380 This is something that I see a lot of new age, a lot of new age circles are really good 170 00:12:31.380 --> 00:12:32.380 at this. 171 00:12:32.380 --> 00:12:36.940 People that are into the new age thing are really good at loving and accepting themselves 172 00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:39.140 way more than Christians. 173 00:12:39.140 --> 00:12:45.900 And I think that that's really sad because if you are fully 100% loved and accepted by 174 00:12:45.900 --> 00:12:53.580 God so much that he gave his own son to be killed brutally for you, if he loves and accepts 175 00:12:53.580 --> 00:13:01.020 you that much, then it's important for us to give that to ourselves as well. 176 00:13:01.020 --> 00:13:06.180 Number four, be out of hiding, okay? 177 00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:12.540 There's never a reason to hide, to hide who you are, to hide your weaknesses, to hide 178 00:13:12.540 --> 00:13:14.860 your flaws. 179 00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:22.100 There's never a reason to hide because who you are is so remarkable and so important 180 00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:24.700 and so significant. 181 00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:30.740 And there's never a reason to hide yourself, to hide from people, to hide any parts of 182 00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:31.740 you. 183 00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:35.620 So just be out, be out in the open, just let it all out. 184 00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:39.860 If you fail, you fail, if you offend someone, you offend someone, if someone doesn't like 185 00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:45.660 you, they don't like you, but there's no reason to hide or to be hiding. 186 00:13:45.660 --> 00:13:47.280 So be out of hiding. 187 00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:55.460 And that includes, to be out of hiding, it means stepping out, taking risks, being bold, 188 00:13:55.460 --> 00:14:04.020 being fearless, even if you feel scared or you feel intimidated, step out anyways. 189 00:14:04.020 --> 00:14:05.380 So just be out of hiding. 190 00:14:06.140 --> 00:14:10.660 Number five, be in agreement with God, be in agreement. 191 00:14:10.660 --> 00:14:13.780 And that's simply a mindset and a choice. 192 00:14:13.780 --> 00:14:22.140 I'm agreeing with God, I agree with God's design of me, I agree with his wiring that 193 00:14:22.140 --> 00:14:31.340 he made me with, I agree with who he says that I am, so just be in agreement. 194 00:14:31.380 --> 00:14:36.180 Be in a state of giving, be giving, okay? 195 00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:41.460 Be giving to yourself, be giving yourself permission, be giving yourself permission 196 00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:48.840 to be, giving yourself permission to be heard, to be seen, giving yourself permission to 197 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:58.780 flow, giving yourself consent, giving yourself consent to flow, and to be flowing, wherever 198 00:14:58.780 --> 00:14:59.780 you are. 199 00:14:59.780 --> 00:14:59.780 200 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.340 you're doing in every atmosphere that you're in, 201 00:15:03.340 --> 00:15:04.460 every person that you're with, 202 00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:05.960 even if you're just alone, 203 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:10.100 giving yourself consent to flow for who you are to flow. 204 00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:15.840 Also giving yourself appreciation. 205 00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:21.940 If you would give somebody else appreciation, 206 00:15:21.940 --> 00:15:23.640 if someone in your life, 207 00:15:23.640 --> 00:15:25.700 like I've been doing this with my kids 208 00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:27.900 since we're all at home all the time, 209 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.720 Zoom school, and we're all in each other's space 210 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:34.720 and everything, and every time one of them 211 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.280 cleans up their mess that they made 212 00:15:37.280 --> 00:15:38.360 while they are making a sandwich 213 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:39.480 and they do it on their own 214 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.480 without me having to remind them, 215 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.900 when they do that, I point it out. 216 00:15:43.900 --> 00:15:45.440 I say, thank you, I really appreciate 217 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.900 that you picked up, you cleaned up after yourself 218 00:15:48.900 --> 00:15:51.440 without me having to come and find you and ask. 219 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:52.600 So if you would do that, 220 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.680 if you would give someone else appreciation, 221 00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:56.960 it's the same thing, you can give yourself appreciation 222 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.060 because you know what? 223 00:16:00.420 --> 00:16:04.420 If you look at your life and you look at where you were, 224 00:16:04.420 --> 00:16:06.660 what you've walked through, what you've been through, 225 00:16:06.660 --> 00:16:09.300 what you've experienced and where you are now, 226 00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:12.980 you can give yourself appreciation for how you've navigated, 227 00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:15.420 how you've walked, how you've journeyed, 228 00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:17.580 how you've gotten to where you are now. 229 00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:19.500 You can appreciate yourself for that 230 00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:24.500 because I can guarantee that you are not where you were 231 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.960 10 years ago, you're in a different place, 232 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.040 you're in a better place. 233 00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:32.640 So you can appreciate yourself, 234 00:16:32.640 --> 00:16:37.080 you can give yourself credit when you've done something, 235 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.740 when you've walked through something hard, 236 00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:43.200 this isn't pride, this isn't a prideful thing, 237 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.480 this is giving yourself credit where credit is due. 238 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.700 Like, wow, I walked through something really hard 239 00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:52.600 and it was really difficult and I came out of it 240 00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:54.460 and giving yourself credit for that. 241 00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:58.060 And even giving, saying thank you. 242 00:16:58.060 --> 00:17:00.940 I started a few years ago saying thank you to myself 243 00:17:00.940 --> 00:17:04.980 whenever I did something that was really uncomfortable 244 00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:07.780 or really difficult for me and I would do it anyways 245 00:17:07.780 --> 00:17:09.500 and then afterwards I would say, thank you, 246 00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:10.700 thank you to myself. 247 00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:13.060 There's something about that, giving yourself credit, 248 00:17:13.060 --> 00:17:17.480 saying thank you to yourself because you're not a nobody 249 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.060 and everything that you've accomplished, 250 00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:22.960 everything you've done, everything you've walked through, 251 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.880 it's really amazing and remarkable. 252 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:29.920 So you can acknowledge that, 253 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.260 you can give yourself credit and acknowledgement. 254 00:17:32.260 --> 00:17:35.480 You can also give yourself grace, okay? 255 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.240 Give yourself grace in all areas. 256 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:40.640 Maybe you're not exactly where you wanna be, 257 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.380 maybe you haven't overcome everything 258 00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:43.680 that you wanna overcome, 259 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:47.000 maybe you go through a week and you have a bad week 260 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.760 and you didn't do anything that you wanted to do, 261 00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:51.300 give yourself grace. 262 00:17:51.300 --> 00:17:53.660 Give yourself grace for when you make mistakes 263 00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:55.580 and you have your down times. 264 00:17:58.300 --> 00:18:01.940 Number eight, be trusting of yourself. 265 00:18:01.940 --> 00:18:04.780 And this might sound blasphemous or something. 266 00:18:04.780 --> 00:18:08.180 I'm not saying like trust yourself and not trust God 267 00:18:08.180 --> 00:18:10.580 or anything like that, I'm not saying that at all. 268 00:18:11.820 --> 00:18:15.180 But I think that a lot of Christians especially 269 00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:18.100 have trouble with this, with trusting yourself. 270 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.720 And a lot of us say, oh, I trust God. 271 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:25.040 And we kind of take this passive stance to our lives 272 00:18:25.040 --> 00:18:27.000 and we think, well, I trust God with my life, 273 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.340 so God's just gonna do everything. 274 00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:34.340 And God is just gonna direct my steps, which he does, 275 00:18:35.080 --> 00:18:37.800 and God's gonna order my steps, which he does. 276 00:18:37.800 --> 00:18:42.120 But we have a part, we're active participants in our life. 277 00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:44.120 That's how God set it up, we're not passive. 278 00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:47.540 We don't just sit back and let life happen to us. 279 00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:50.400 That's not how it is, we're actually active participants. 280 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:55.280 And so there's something about trusting yourself, 281 00:18:55.280 --> 00:19:00.280 trusting yourself as one who expresses the kingdom of God, 282 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:10.640 trust yourself as one who carries the power 283 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.480 and presence of God, trust God's design in you, 284 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:20.480 trust who he made you, trust yourself 285 00:19:20.860 --> 00:19:25.800 with what you're equipped with, what you are wired with, 286 00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:29.340 trust who you are, trust who God designed you 287 00:19:29.340 --> 00:19:33.460 and trust those things about yourself. 288 00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:36.620 We were watching a Star Wars, 289 00:19:36.620 --> 00:19:40.020 we got really into Star Wars last year on New Year's Eve, 290 00:19:40.020 --> 00:19:41.580 we watched all of them. 291 00:19:41.580 --> 00:19:44.940 But in the last Star Wars, there's a scene 292 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.640 where the main Jedi is a female, 293 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:50.600 it's the first female Jedi. 294 00:19:50.600 --> 00:19:54.320 And in order to be a Jedi and to their training, 295 00:19:54.320 --> 00:19:55.960 they have to go through all their fears 296 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.240 and work through all their fears and get through them 297 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:00.480 so that they don't have. 298 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.240 many fears and she works through all these fears 299 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.760 that are seem appropriate, fear of dying, 300 00:20:06.760 --> 00:20:09.440 fear of loss, all these things. 301 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.240 But then the last one that's the hardest for her to get over 302 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.360 is the fear of herself. 303 00:20:14.360 --> 00:20:17.280 Because she fears at the end of the day, 304 00:20:17.280 --> 00:20:18.840 when push comes to shove, 305 00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:21.680 she's not gonna have what it takes 306 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:26.520 and she's not gonna be good enough to meet the challenge 307 00:20:26.520 --> 00:20:28.000 or to do what she needs to do. 308 00:20:28.040 --> 00:20:30.960 So there's something about trusting yourself 309 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.760 and this is really, really big 310 00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:35.360 because if you trust yourself, 311 00:20:35.360 --> 00:20:36.880 you trust God's design in you, 312 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.160 you trust who you are, 313 00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:43.520 then when there is intimidation, 314 00:20:43.520 --> 00:20:45.680 when something is intimidating you 315 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.680 and when something is scary, but you trust yourself, 316 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:51.120 you're gonna take that risk, 317 00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:53.200 you're gonna step out anyways 318 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:58.200 and you are going to be willing to be bold 319 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:02.320 in the midst of scary circumstances when you trust yourself. 320 00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:05.360 So that's something about your identity, 321 00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:06.600 just being trusting. 322 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.000 So think about all the people in the Bible, 323 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.680 all the main people in the Bible that God used, 324 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.360 they weren't perfect people, all of them, 325 00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:22.120 all of them had issues, all of them had things, 326 00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:24.200 all of them made mistakes 327 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:25.880 and a lot of them pretty big, 328 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.440 a lot of these people pretty big ones, 329 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.160 look at David, look at, 330 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.200 a lot of these people had major, major, 331 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:33.760 major issues in their life, 332 00:21:33.760 --> 00:21:34.640 but you know what? 333 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.160 God trusted them, 334 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.040 God trusted them with the role that he gave them in life, 335 00:21:40.040 --> 00:21:43.000 otherwise he wouldn't have used them, 336 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.360 he obviously trusted Moses 337 00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:48.520 to be able to lead the people out of Israel 338 00:21:48.520 --> 00:21:49.840 and to do what he was made for, 339 00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:52.960 he obviously trusted David to do what he was made for, 340 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.840 he obviously trusted all these people 341 00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:57.320 that he used in radical ways, 342 00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:59.800 Paul and whoever, you name it, 343 00:21:59.800 --> 00:22:02.280 he obviously trusted them 344 00:22:02.280 --> 00:22:04.360 because God doesn't doubt, 345 00:22:04.360 --> 00:22:05.880 God has no doubts about you, 346 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:07.800 God has no doubts about who you are, 347 00:22:07.800 --> 00:22:09.320 about your abilities, 348 00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:11.520 about your capabilities, 349 00:22:11.520 --> 00:22:13.480 he doesn't have any doubts about you, 350 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:14.720 so neither should you. 351 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:16.800 The last one, 352 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:21.200 be free and liberated, 353 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:22.600 it's already who you are, 354 00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:26.800 you are free because Jesus made it that way, 355 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.280 you are free and liberated, 356 00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:30.480 so be that, 357 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.200 so this is what we're gonna do, 358 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:36.560 I'm going to do two things 359 00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:39.160 and I think I'm gonna have to continue this next week 360 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:41.120 on our last one because I really wanna, 361 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:43.920 there are a bunch of different ways 362 00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:45.840 to unlock the flow of your identity, 363 00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:48.480 I'm gonna do two with you right now, two ways, 364 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.560 so number one, we talked about just being, 365 00:22:50.560 --> 00:22:52.080 all the things you need to be, 366 00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.640 so Isaiah 61, 367 00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.240 and I'm gonna do this with you, 368 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.160 Isaiah 61 was a prophecy about Jesus 369 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.520 and what he would come to do 370 00:23:07.560 --> 00:23:11.360 and then Jesus himself quoted it in Luke four, 371 00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:12.440 when he was in the temple, 372 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.880 he got up and he read from Isaiah 61 373 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:16.440 and he said, this is me, 374 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:18.280 I'm the one, this is me, 375 00:23:18.280 --> 00:23:21.200 and it says the spirit of the Lord God 376 00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.240 has anointed and qualified me 377 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:25.880 to preach the gospel of good tidings 378 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.520 to the meek, the poor and afflicted, 379 00:23:28.520 --> 00:23:32.400 he has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted 380 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.880 to proclaim liberty 381 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.480 to the physical and spiritual captives 382 00:23:38.320 --> 00:23:39.760 and to the opening of the prison 383 00:23:39.760 --> 00:23:42.800 and to the eyes of those who are bound, 384 00:23:42.800 --> 00:23:45.760 so Jesus already came and he pronounced, 385 00:23:45.760 --> 00:23:48.600 he proclaimed with his life, 386 00:23:48.600 --> 00:23:51.520 with his death, with his victory on the cross, 387 00:23:51.520 --> 00:23:54.760 he proclaimed that you are free and liberated, 388 00:23:54.760 --> 00:23:57.160 you are free from captivity, 389 00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:58.560 you are free from prison, 390 00:23:58.560 --> 00:24:01.200 there is nothing that can hold you in bondage, 391 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.600 including your identity, 392 00:24:03.600 --> 00:24:05.400 so you know what the really cool thing is, 393 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.120 when you announce something, 394 00:24:07.120 --> 00:24:09.480 your voice is a sound, 395 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:12.800 a sound from your voice creates a sound wave, 396 00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:14.560 guess what a sound wave does, 397 00:24:14.560 --> 00:24:16.920 a sound wave creates a flow, 398 00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.080 sound waves flow, 399 00:24:19.080 --> 00:24:22.760 so I wonder if when Jesus proclaimed, 400 00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:25.360 you are free and liberated, 401 00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:28.240 that sound wave now always flows, 402 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.240 remember we talked about the blood, 403 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.920 that proclamation as a flowing sound wave 404 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.760 is constantly flowing in you and through you, 405 00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:39.800 so all you need to do is be that, 406 00:24:39.800 --> 00:24:44.040 so I'm going to proclaim that because Jesus is in me, 407 00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:48.280 I'm one with Jesus and I carry his anointing, 408 00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:52.920 so I'm going to echo his proclamation 409 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.920 and I'm gonna proclaim over you right now, 410 00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:57.880 I proclaim over you, 411 00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:59.680 over your identities, 412 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.280 For who you are, I proclaim you free and liberated 413 00:25:04.280 --> 00:25:07.280 in the name and authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 414 00:25:07.280 --> 00:25:10.760 the Messiah, and I release that sound wave 415 00:25:10.760 --> 00:25:15.760 to flow freely, unrestricted in you and through you. 416 00:25:15.800 --> 00:25:18.920 And for that sound to ring in you, 417 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.400 to resonate in you and to resound out of you 418 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.020 so that you can just be, you can be who you are, 419 00:25:26.020 --> 00:25:28.160 you can be free and liberated 420 00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:31.060 because it's already who you are in Jesus name. 421 00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:34.580 Okay, I have one more exercise. 422 00:25:34.580 --> 00:25:38.400 This is so, so, so easy because we talked about, 423 00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:44.460 you know, accepting yourself, being in agreement with God, 424 00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:46.600 be forgiving, all of those things. 425 00:25:46.600 --> 00:25:50.420 So I'm gonna show you how to easily release that flow 426 00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:53.820 in you again, because for whatever reason, 427 00:25:53.820 --> 00:25:56.100 if those things have been frustrated, 428 00:25:56.100 --> 00:25:58.880 if the flow of your identity has been frustrated 429 00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:01.720 because you've been out of agreement with your identity, 430 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:03.280 you've been out of agreement with God, 431 00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:05.100 you haven't given yourself permission, 432 00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:08.000 you haven't given yourself acceptance, all of those things, 433 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:09.880 this is what you do, super easy, 434 00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:14.280 because we're gonna change the signals 435 00:26:14.280 --> 00:26:16.420 that are flowing through you right now 436 00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:18.560 that are congesting the flow of your identity. 437 00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:21.800 So find your collarbone right here, this is super easy, 438 00:26:22.800 --> 00:26:25.000 and put your fingers like right below. 439 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:28.500 So touch your collarbone, go right below your collarbone. 440 00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:31.940 And this is a acupressure point 441 00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:36.940 where frequencies flow in your body, this is a big one. 442 00:26:38.860 --> 00:26:42.740 And so we're gonna tap with all four fingers, 443 00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:45.140 tap on right below your collarbone, 444 00:26:45.140 --> 00:26:47.420 and as you tap, I'm gonna lead you 445 00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:50.220 through a statement to say. 446 00:26:51.020 --> 00:26:55.620 So go ahead and repeat after me, 447 00:26:55.620 --> 00:26:56.840 and while you're repeating, 448 00:26:56.840 --> 00:26:58.120 while you're making the statement, 449 00:26:58.120 --> 00:27:00.040 tap right below your collarbone. 450 00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:06.900 Even though I haven't always been aware of my true identity, 451 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.360 and even though I have frustrated the flow 452 00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:19.360 of my true identity, and even though I've made mistakes, 453 00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:26.120 and poor decisions, and even though I have fallen short, 454 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:35.640 and even though I have hidden myself at times, 455 00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.520 and even though I haven't trusted myself, 456 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.680 and I haven't trusted God's design in me, 457 00:27:51.040 --> 00:27:54.680 and even though I'm not exactly where I wanna be now, 458 00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:58.040 and even though I'm not perfect, 459 00:28:00.760 --> 00:28:05.760 I completely and utterly love and accept myself. 460 00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:13.200 Okay, so this is something so easy, 461 00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.160 just make going through those statements 462 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:19.560 and tapping right here, you actually changed the flow, 463 00:28:19.580 --> 00:28:22.500 the flow of what was flowing through you. 464 00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:26.160 So now you can just be all of those things, 465 00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:31.000 and I'm gonna put that list of being, 466 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.480 I'm gonna put that in this week's outline, 467 00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:41.220 and then we'll pick up next week 468 00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:44.260 with the remainder of how to unlock that, 469 00:28:44.260 --> 00:28:45.440 and we're gonna maybe go through 470 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:46.740 in a little bit more detail, 471 00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:49.300 but I wanted to go through just all of those states 472 00:28:50.040 --> 00:28:51.840 of being, they're nothing you need to do 473 00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:54.480 because it's already who you are, 474 00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:58.880 and it's already in you, those things are already flowing, 475 00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:03.120 and so you don't need to do, you just need to be 476 00:29:05.280 --> 00:29:09.440 so that you are congruent and who you really are, 477 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:14.440 your true identity is fully out and active and flowing. 478 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:20.440 This whole tapping, it's pretty popular right now, 479 00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:26.340 like a lot of people are using these tapping things 480 00:29:26.340 --> 00:29:30.080 to help with anxiety disorders and stuff like that, 481 00:29:30.080 --> 00:29:31.980 and it has to do with the way 482 00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:35.340 that information travels through your body. 483 00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:38.260 So your body's always communicating with itself, 484 00:29:38.260 --> 00:29:41.180 and information is always circulating, 485 00:29:41.180 --> 00:29:44.200 and so there are certain points on your body 486 00:29:45.040 --> 00:29:50.040 that are conducting that flow of information 487 00:29:50.580 --> 00:29:53.660 that's traveling and sending it on to the next point, 488 00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:55.800 and so there are different points 489 00:29:55.800 --> 00:30:00.800 that when you tap on them and you are speaking at them, 490 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.120 the same time, you can actually change the information 491 00:30:04.120 --> 00:30:06.280 that's circulating through your body. 492 00:30:06.280 --> 00:30:09.760 So it's kind of like changing your thought patterns. 493 00:30:09.760 --> 00:30:12.600 It's similar to that, but you're changing 494 00:30:12.600 --> 00:30:16.160 the information patterns that are circulating through you. 495 00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:19.680 And so this is just one that's super easy to do. 496 00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:24.680 And you're putting in the flow of information 497 00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:29.680 the flow of information that you're not against yourself. 498 00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:32.040 You know, you're not against yourself. 499 00:30:32.040 --> 00:30:35.560 You are working together with yourself, 500 00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:38.840 who you are, you're congruent and you're accepting. 501 00:30:38.840 --> 00:30:42.640 And it just, it puts your body into relaxation mode. 502 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:44.400 When you do that, it takes all stress 503 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.280 and pressure off of you. 504 00:30:46.280 --> 00:30:51.280 And it allows the correct information 505 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.000 and truth to flow throughout your body. 506 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.960 Yeah, basically. 507 00:30:57.320 --> 00:31:00.040 So your meridians are the pathways 508 00:31:00.040 --> 00:31:02.040 that the information travels. 509 00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:07.680 So your parasympathetic nervous system 510 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:09.240 is the part of your nervous system 511 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:11.960 that's engaged when everything is okay. 512 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.600 So when there's a threat or danger, 513 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:17.840 the other part of your nervous system, 514 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:20.400 the other part of your nervous system, 515 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:22.800 the sympathetic nervous system takes over 516 00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:28.680 and it puts your body into, you know, 517 00:31:29.800 --> 00:31:32.920 stress mode and fight or flight mode, all of those things. 518 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:34.840 That's the sympathetic nervous system. 519 00:31:34.840 --> 00:31:38.160 And so you want your parasympathetic nervous system 520 00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.760 is the one that's supposed to be activating normally. 521 00:31:41.760 --> 00:31:44.520 And the other one is only supposed to be activated 522 00:31:44.520 --> 00:31:48.280 and operating, you know, for short periods of time. 523 00:31:48.280 --> 00:31:50.200 If there's like some, a stress 524 00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:51.800 or you're being attacked or something, 525 00:31:51.800 --> 00:31:54.360 and there's like a real threat or danger to your life, 526 00:31:54.360 --> 00:31:56.520 the sympathetic nervous system is supposed to take over. 527 00:31:56.520 --> 00:31:58.200 But a lot of people are walking around 528 00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:00.680 living with that on all the time. 529 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:03.240 And the parasympathetic nervous system 530 00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:05.360 is what is operating when, 531 00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:07.720 and it's telling your body, everything is good. 532 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:09.720 Everything's the way it's supposed to be. 533 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.880 Everything is okay. 534 00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:15.160 And everything works when you're in that state. 535 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:16.600 Have a good rest of your day.
