00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.000
Hey everybody! All right so now that I know how to flip the camera I have

2
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:17.040
restarted the live. So Steph went on this journey with me where I had to Google in

3
00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:22.240
a real time how to flip the camera on a live. So now I've learned something. Hey

4
00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:29.720
Steph! Okay so we're back. All right so now we're cooking with gas. All

5
00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:35.440
right that's a good southern phrase right? Okay so we've got spirit, soul, and

6
00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:46.640
body down here. So these are the three realms. Now the way that Jesus

7
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.640
refers to these various ways in which we can operate and still be in the

8
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.120
kingdom. So in other words, all of these realms that we can operate in are all

9
00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:07.080
for believers. We're not talking about, hey Steph, good, excellent, and these

10
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.760
are all for believers to operate in. So we're not talking about where

11
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:18.200
unbelievers sit. This is all within the realm of believing, you know, being a

12
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.960
believer, believing in Jesus Christ, going to heaven, how on it how it is that we're

13
00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:27.680
living on earth, and where it is that we're pulling our resource from. Now you

14
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.680
remember that in in the story about the farmer sowing seed, how it talked about

15
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.440
the farmer sowing seed among, you know, on the hard ground and then the

16
00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:48.320
birds came and ate it because it didn't sink into the ground and so

17
00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:51.880
the birds came along and ate it. Then there were others that the other seed,

18
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:56.120
because the farmer, understand, is just scattering the seed. He's just scattering

19
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.600
it. So it's landing all over the place. He's not being very careful. He's

20
00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:07.120
spreading the good news anywhere, anywhere it lands, and so it depends on

21
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:13.160
the soil as to whether or not it is received. We're the soil. God says that

22
00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:17.160
our hearts are the soil, so the seed, you know, the gospel, the good news of Jesus

23
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:20.960
Christ, that's being scattered all over the place, all over the place, but it's

24
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:28.040
this, it's the soil that chooses to receive that news, receive it and believe

25
00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:33.840
it as to as to what ends up happening. So how it ends up responding to the seed.

26
00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:40.160
So some of the seed fell on hard ground. The birds came in and ate it.

27
00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:45.160
Then other fell on shallow ground and it just went only so deep, but it didn't

28
00:02:45.160 --> 00:02:51.200
have enough sustenance in order to get a real good root, and so it died.

29
00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:56.600
And then others fell among thorns that choked out the life of the seed, but then

30
00:02:56.600 --> 00:03:01.360
there is, there was seed that fell on really good ground. So the seed that fell

31
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.320
on good ground that received it deep is to receive the seed deep into itself

32
00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:12.680
that allowed it to reap a result because it's literally impossible to have Christ

33
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.720
in this and not reap like anything. You're gonna reap something, right? You're

34
00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:22.160
gonna go to heaven, for instance, for one thing. And he said that of that seed that

35
00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:35.000
fell on good ground, that it responded by producing 30-fold, 60-fold, and circle

36
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:43.000
that so you can see it, or a hundred-fold return, a hundred-fold increase. So I

37
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.960
don't know if y'all that have ever noticed that, but at the end of the

38
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.160
passage when it talked about the good soil, it said that this, even

39
00:03:51.160 --> 00:03:57.800
though it was good soil, it all bore different folds. Some 30-fold, which is

40
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.560
very different. It's only a third of the hundred-fold. So some 30-fold, some 60-fold,

41
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:10.040
and some 100-fold because it depends on how the soil, on the type of the

42
00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:15.120
richness of the soil, and how the soil chooses to respond to the seed as to how

43
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:23.800
much return or how much fold is gotten at the end. In other words, it's how we

44
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:29.360
choose to operate. It's what we choose to do with that seed that determines

45
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:35.120
what kind of an increase that we get. In other words, what realm that

46
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.600
we're operating out of. So that's where in Scripture that it talks about, you

47
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.200
know, the fact that there's like three different ways that we can operate in

48
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:50.200
the world and operate in life and get different results. So body, soul, and

49
00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:53.840
spirit. There's so much that the Lord does in dividing things into three.

50
00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:56.800
There's the Trinity Himself, you know, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy

51
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.640
Spirit. He divides us into three parts.

52
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.920
It says that we're a triune being because we were made to be the picture and image of the Lord,

53
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.200
and so we are also spirit, soul, and body, and there's three different ways in which we can

54
00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:23.200
operate. Another thing that I wanted to mention is another picture of what is going on here with

55
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:29.120
the spirit, soul, and body and the fact that we can operate out of the spirit realm, which is the

56
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:36.320
invisible realm. So let's write some of these. So let's write this up here. So invisible,

57
00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:39.600
I don't know if you hopefully you can see this because there's going to be a lot that I'm going

58
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:56.080
to be writing. This one's invisible, which also happens to be the unseen. I'm trying to think

59
00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:09.360
here. Yeah. Yes. Sorry. This is the scene. This is the scene. Uncreated. You can actually see

60
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.920
into the spirit realm, but we won't be talking about that tonight, but seen, uncreated,

61
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:21.760
and of course the soul is the metaphysical realm. So it's kind of like the bridge.

62
00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:27.280
Metaphysical, but it is unseen,

63
00:06:30.640 --> 00:06:37.680
unseen, but it's created. So this realm, anything in this realm, anything that exists in this realm

64
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:42.480
is unseen. We can't see it, but it's created, and then anything that exists in this realm,

65
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:48.720
the body realm, that's the physical or, whoops, physical, anything of the physical,

66
00:06:48.720 --> 00:07:00.560
physical or anything. In other words, it's the visible realm, and this is the scene created.

67
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:11.120
So this realm was not created. It's uncreated because remember it came of the essence of God.

68
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.920
So this is uncreated, but we can actually see into the spirit realm. You remember

69
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.560
in the Bible, it talks about seeing with your spiritual eyes because you can see into the

70
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:27.040
spirit realm. Now in the soul, it's metaphysical. You can't see anything. You can't see your soul.

71
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:34.720
You can't see into the unseen realm, and it is created though. So this is actually something

72
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.280
that God created. Anything that exists in this realm, and it's more than just our soul,

73
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:47.280
this is created. So then there's the body, which is the physical realm, visible. This is all,

74
00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:53.440
this is both seen and created, and unfortunately, this is where we spend the majority of our focus

75
00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:58.160
because it's both seen because we can see it's seen and it's created, and so it ends up taking

76
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:05.280
up a lot of our focus and a lot of our attention. So there's that. Now remember though that we were

77
00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:10.000
put on earth. We were created. Let me back up. We were created to have fellowship with God,

78
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:17.680
but we were put on earth in order to make the invisible God visible.

79
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:27.280
So we're supposed to manifest the things of the spirit into the physical realm. We're supposed

80
00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:33.360
to manifest things in heaven down into the earth. So that's why these three realms are really

81
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:43.440
important. The gateway is the soul. The soul is what allows the things of the spirit to manifest

82
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:50.560
into the physical realm because the soul is the one that is the decision maker.

83
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.640
It's the gateway. It's the decision maker. It's the one that decides, okay, we're going to submit

84
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:03.760
to the soul, and we're going to allow the soul to flow down from the spirit down into the body

85
00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:09.840
so that things can manifest visibly in the physical realm that are actually already

86
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:16.240
existing in heaven, which we'll get into all of that. But I wanted to mention just really quick

87
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:26.160
that another way to think about this is remember that God is invisible. Jesus was the gateway.

88
00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:32.800
He was the way that allowed for God to be made visible, and then man's

89
00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:40.160
responsibility is to make God visible. God is supposed to be visible within us. When someone

90
00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:46.640
looks at us, they're supposed to be able to see God visibly. In other words, what God actually

91
00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:55.120
looks like in how I talk and in what I say, in just the spirit that's flowing

92
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:59.840
out of me, how people feel peace when they're around me or whatever it is, that's how we're...

93
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.920
supposed to be and it is making and Jesus is is the bridge. He is what

94
00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:12.360
allowed there to be a connection again between God and man. So making the

95
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:18.480
invisible manifest into the visible. I wanted to point that out but I'm gonna

96
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:23.360
erase that really quick. So this is the three rounds that we're talking about

97
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:28.920
and so we can all we can choose to operate from this perspective, from this

98
00:10:28.920 --> 00:10:37.240
one or from this one. It's in our and and the way that we choose what

99
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:42.120
determines whether we operate from here, from here, or from here is determined by

100
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:48.240
what we believe. That's it. Our belief is what it's what

101
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:53.640
allows us to traverse from here to then operating out of here and then if we

102
00:10:53.640 --> 00:10:58.880
believe if we believe what the Lord says well then we start operating in out of

103
00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:09.200
here out of the Spirit. So there is also, let me draw that in a different color so

104
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.800
it's a little more clear, there's something in between the Spirit and the

105
00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:25.800
soul. This line here and that you can think of was talked about in Scripture

106
00:11:25.800 --> 00:11:31.680
and symbolized in Scripture as the veil that separated the holy place from the

107
00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:38.280
holy of holies because remember you had the the outer court and then or that you

108
00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:42.200
know the court and then the courtyard then you had especially in the

109
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.560
tabernacle you know you just had the the one courtyard. Now in the temple you had

110
00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:49.120
the outer court and then the inner court you know because one was the Gentile

111
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.880
court and then and then the Gentiles weren't allowed any further and all of

112
00:11:51.880 --> 00:11:56.800
that but when we were talking about the tabernacle the very first tent that that

113
00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:02.080
was created in order to house the Lord there was the there was the court

114
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:10.320
outside you know where the brazen altar was and then the the the brass basin you

115
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:16.160
know the great seat and then there was the holy place which held of course the

116
00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:21.960
table of shoe bread and the altar of incense and the candelabra and and all

117
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.960
of that and then you have the veil and then you have the holy of holies where

118
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:29.240
the Ark of the Covenant was which has the presence of God so again you see you

119
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:36.480
see that where God was again talking giving us the picture of three separate

120
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:42.640
realms that we could operate out of and how we can move from one to the other so

121
00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:49.000
what it mean what we had to do back in the Old Testament is we had to move from

122
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:54.720
the outside in but what God intended always for us to do and which is what he

123
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.040
did when when Jesus Christ died on the cross remember that the veil tore in

124
00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:07.440
half and finally allowed everything that I was that was of this in the spirit to

125
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.160
then flow out into the earth which is how God always intended it to be because

126
00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:17.400
remember God wants to be the life source that everything else depends on

127
00:13:17.400 --> 00:13:22.240
everything else does depend on it but he wants us to actually believe it and

128
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.880
operate from the place that he's the life source which and simply by

129
00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:31.640
believing it allows means that we're that we're allowing the things of the

130
00:13:31.640 --> 00:13:38.200
spirit to manifest down into the visible realm down into our businesses

131
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.320
out into our relationships out into our finances because God is the life source

132
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:48.040
so the reason why I drew the veil up here is and so you see that there's

133
00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:54.680
three different sections but actually this one right here think about how I

134
00:13:54.680 --> 00:14:02.280
want to draw this right here this both of these two are actually carnal you

135
00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:06.960
remember when God talks about I hope I can write this and see y'all can see it

136
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:18.880
but it's carnal remember when Paul talks about carnal Christians and that he's

137
00:14:18.880 --> 00:14:22.880
talking about people that are operating in this in these one of these realms so

138
00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:29.680
in other words carnal means it's of the flesh this is is operating according to

139
00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:33.920
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil both of them not just one of them

140
00:14:33.920 --> 00:14:37.960
both of them remember there are two trees and yet there are three realms

141
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.920
because even and I mentioned this at the end of the live last night that that

142
00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:47.440
there's actually you would think that well because it's just one tree the

143
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.640
knowledge of good and evil that there's only that there's only one but that

144
00:14:52.640 --> 00:14:56.680
there's only one realm but actually there's two different realms within it

145
00:14:56.680 --> 00:15:01.960
two different modes of of operating

146
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.100
Operation that we can choose to operate out of and that is essentially of the soul or sorry of the body

147
00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:09.680
Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly

148
00:15:09.880 --> 00:15:12.120
as a body or out of the soul

149
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.240
and

150
00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:16.320
So anyway

151
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.240
This is really really important to understand the majority of us have lived our whole lives

152
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.800
In the according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil where we work really hard

153
00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:28.280
but you see here that

154
00:15:28.280 --> 00:15:34.360
We can live and operate out of this realm or we can live and operate out of that realm and both of them judge

155
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:35.440
each other

156
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:38.840
But the funny thing is they're both operating out of the flesh

157
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.720
Anyway, and what happens when you operate out of the flesh?

158
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.640
What happens when you operate out of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in other words?

159
00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:52.280
You're choosing to provide for and protect yourself. You think you are outside the curtain and

160
00:15:52.880 --> 00:15:57.280
You're trying to get back in so you have to do things

161
00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:01.200
To try to get back in you think that you're outside

162
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:07.080
The garden and you're trying to get back in by doing the same things

163
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.000
That you that Adam and Eve did that got them kicked out

164
00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:14.080
so remember this is the veil but

165
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.720
It's been removed

166
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.120
because when Christ died

167
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.200
The veil ripped in two

168
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.920
To symbolize and to signify to everyone so that they would finally understand look

169
00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:32.440
that four inch thick veil tore in half of

170
00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:39.920
Its own volition which is obviously, you know the Lord, you know to prove to the people to prove to everyone to Bruce

171
00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:43.400
Every to the priest everyone that everyone can see the ark

172
00:16:43.880 --> 00:16:48.840
Everyone has access to God now, you no longer have to go through a through a high priest

173
00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:51.400
You no longer have to go through a priest

174
00:16:51.520 --> 00:16:56.240
You can go to God directly and it also allowed everything that was in the Ark of the Covenant

175
00:16:56.640 --> 00:17:00.200
Everything that was of God to now flow out

176
00:17:01.560 --> 00:17:03.920
so the way that we but

177
00:17:04.560 --> 00:17:10.099
but if we can still choose to operate of the soul or we can still choose to operate of the body if we don't

178
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.200
Believe that we still have access

179
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.160
if we don't believe that we have access anymore and

180
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:23.400
If we believe that we do not yet have access that's what I'm trying to say if we believe that that veil is

181
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.720
Still there, but you see how there's no veil there anymore

182
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.960
So it's all in our head

183
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:30.840
It's all in our imagination

184
00:17:30.840 --> 00:17:35.520
that there's some barrier between us and the Lord that there's some barrier between

185
00:17:35.600 --> 00:17:40.840
us being able to operate out of the spirit and our father being able to provide us good gifts and

186
00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:44.280
protection and identity and all of that

187
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:47.120
We believe that there's still a barrier

188
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:53.560
That we've got to traverse this barrier somehow that there's something else that God is sorry

189
00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:59.200
Make sure you can see this that God is still waiting on something in order to

190
00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:05.560
Allow us to receive the benefits like there's all these gifts up here and we can't get there because there's a veil on the way

191
00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:09.200
There's no veil in the way anymore. That was Old Testament

192
00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:13.640
For us we were never ever ever born

193
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:15.880
under a veil

194
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.000
Ever we have always had access to God

195
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.680
It was only in our heads that we thought that we didn't it is all

196
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:31.880
According to you believe by our belief we frame up our world. So some believe that God is only this good

197
00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:35.360
So things things of the body, you know

198
00:18:36.080 --> 00:18:40.860
People who operate out of the body believe that what it is that they do with their body what it is that they say

199
00:18:40.860 --> 00:18:44.300
With the words that they you know, which hymns that they sing

200
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:47.180
Whether or not women can preach in church

201
00:18:49.340 --> 00:18:52.300
All of that kind of thing anything of the body

202
00:18:53.300 --> 00:18:55.300
by parts

203
00:18:55.340 --> 00:18:56.780
covering the head

204
00:18:56.780 --> 00:19:00.420
going to physical places to to worship the Lord and

205
00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:06.180
Things of the physical because remember this is the visible physical realm the scene and created

206
00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:13.940
We believe the people that that operate like this are the one are people that believe that anything of the physical

207
00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:20.300
Create it has a meaning that would hinder or help us

208
00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:27.780
to get up here to be one with Christ to receive his blessings to be good enough to

209
00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:30.740
allow us to

210
00:19:30.860 --> 00:19:34.060
Be looked on with love by the Lord

211
00:19:34.060 --> 00:19:39.860
Whatever it is that we're wanting from him being provided for by him in in our businesses

212
00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:42.860
Like I said feeling loved feeling comforted

213
00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:50.420
That he that he won't abandon us all of that. We believe that people that act according to this

214
00:19:51.620 --> 00:19:54.660
they believe in the power of

215
00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:59.540
physical visible things to either help or hinder them

216
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.920
from getting to the Lord.

217
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.440
And then they judge everybody else by that same standard.

218
00:20:07.040 --> 00:20:08.160
So now the good thing is,

219
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:12.080
remember these people are still Christians, the 30 fold.

220
00:20:12.080 --> 00:20:14.640
They still reap a reward.

221
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.280
They still reap good things.

222
00:20:17.280 --> 00:20:18.940
They're gonna get to go to heaven.

223
00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:21.720
They think God is that good,

224
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.620
that he saved them and they're gonna get to go to heaven.

225
00:20:25.620 --> 00:20:27.360
But what they don't believe is,

226
00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:29.560
they don't believe that he's good enough

227
00:20:29.560 --> 00:20:33.880
for them to be able to reap the benefits

228
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.980
of gaining their inheritance as sons

229
00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:40.200
without them having to work for it,

230
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:41.480
do something for it.

231
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.240
And they do it out of this anything

232
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.660
in the visible, physical, created realm.

233
00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:52.340
Now, these people that choose to operate out of this realm,

234
00:20:52.340 --> 00:20:56.600
these are people that also believe

235
00:20:56.600 --> 00:20:57.720
that there are things that are,

236
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.920
believe that this veil is still here,

237
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:01.760
that they're outside the veil,

238
00:21:01.760 --> 00:21:03.460
that they're trying to get back in,

239
00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:06.440
or that they're asking God to come down.

240
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.680
They're always praying for revival.

241
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.860
They pray a lot, Lord, please come,

242
00:21:12.860 --> 00:21:15.600
please help, please provide.

243
00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:17.040
They're praying for the things

244
00:21:17.040 --> 00:21:20.860
that God says in scripture, we already have.

245
00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:23.320
But they feel that they don't have it.

246
00:21:23.320 --> 00:21:24.280
They're like Eve.

247
00:21:24.280 --> 00:21:26.020
They feel that they're in a place of lack

248
00:21:26.020 --> 00:21:28.740
and that there's something that they don't,

249
00:21:28.740 --> 00:21:31.580
that they still don't have in their possession.

250
00:21:31.580 --> 00:21:33.980
And they're trying to gain it for themselves.

251
00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:35.120
They're trying to reach for it.

252
00:21:35.120 --> 00:21:36.880
They believe God.

253
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.860
They talk a lot about stewardship.

254
00:21:38.860 --> 00:21:40.780
Stewardship is not a bad word, understand.

255
00:21:40.780 --> 00:21:42.140
Responsibility is not a bad word.

256
00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:44.340
Those things are not, yeah, exactly.

257
00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:45.900
That's how I was talking day one.

258
00:21:45.900 --> 00:21:50.900
I know that 99.99999% of the fests were.

259
00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:52.940
It's wild, isn't it?

260
00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:57.940
I mean, this is like totally dismantling our paradigm.

261
00:21:59.540 --> 00:22:04.540
And just, you know, completely giving us a brand new grid.

262
00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:09.900
But yeah, so these people here,

263
00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:12.660
they believe, you know, this is the unseen,

264
00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:14.080
but yet it's the created.

265
00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:17.060
So they love spiritual principles.

266
00:22:17.060 --> 00:22:19.780
They love tools, things that can kind of help

267
00:22:19.780 --> 00:22:23.020
leverage their soul and get them to believe things

268
00:22:23.020 --> 00:22:25.220
and like push themselves up.

269
00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:30.220
They believe a lot of the faith gospel stuff is in here.

270
00:22:30.540 --> 00:22:32.460
Like where you believe if you have enough faith

271
00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:34.220
and if you believe, I believe, I believe,

272
00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:37.080
I believe, I believe, and if I believe hard enough,

273
00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:40.640
then it means that God's going to give me something.

274
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.300
God is going to bring healing.

275
00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:46.140
That God is going to bless my finances.

276
00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:50.900
That God is going to, you know,

277
00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:52.220
he's going to bless my business.

278
00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:54.900
He is going to bless my relationship.

279
00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:58.620
These, all these people are constantly praying for,

280
00:22:58.620 --> 00:23:02.460
asking and asking for and waiting for things

281
00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:06.820
that God already said in the Bible, you already have them.

282
00:23:06.820 --> 00:23:08.240
The veil is torn.

283
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.700
There's already access.

284
00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:13.860
Our problem is we think that the veil is still there

285
00:23:13.860 --> 00:23:16.820
and we think we're moving from the ground up,

286
00:23:16.820 --> 00:23:19.900
that there's something to which we have to attain

287
00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:21.020
and it's not.

288
00:23:21.020 --> 00:23:23.060
God says we're spirit, soul, and body.

289
00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:26.260
God says, you're already here.

290
00:23:26.260 --> 00:23:29.820
So operate from this place and everything else is below you.

291
00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:33.260
If you choose to operate from this part of you,

292
00:23:33.260 --> 00:23:36.740
then you have to move up and that's a lot of work,

293
00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:37.580
a lot of work to go up.

294
00:23:37.580 --> 00:23:40.060
It's effortless to have everything under your feet.

295
00:23:40.060 --> 00:23:42.220
It's a lot of work to go upward.

296
00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:44.060
And so it's like we keep like,

297
00:23:44.060 --> 00:23:45.980
it's like we were praying things

298
00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:48.060
and we're just trying to throw up our prayer

299
00:23:48.060 --> 00:23:50.260
really, really, really, really high.

300
00:23:50.260 --> 00:23:52.340
You know, being very loud about it.

301
00:23:52.340 --> 00:23:54.620
Sometimes in certain charismatic churches, for instance,

302
00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:57.540
which would be a lot of the 60 fold,

303
00:23:57.540 --> 00:23:59.900
a lot of they believe in the power

304
00:23:59.900 --> 00:24:01.220
of the gifts of the Holy Spirit

305
00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:02.620
and they're trying to be very loud

306
00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:07.380
and very demonstrative, very emotional.

307
00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:10.200
They're trying to hype up their soul

308
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:14.120
because they believe that if they give it enough fuel,

309
00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:18.960
enough, you know, power, then they can,

310
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.000
and if, you know, turbocharge,

311
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.160
the Lord's going to be pleased enough

312
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:25.800
and he's gonna realize they really want it.

313
00:24:25.800 --> 00:24:27.240
And because they really want it,

314
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:29.540
because they've been banging on the door of heaven,

315
00:24:29.540 --> 00:24:32.960
then I'm finally going to reward them

316
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.080
because they've asked long enough and hard enough

317
00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:37.960
and we're passionate enough about it.

318
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.760
And so he, and then they fasted

319
00:24:40.760 --> 00:24:42.360
for a certain number of days,

320
00:24:42.360 --> 00:24:44.120
they've prayed certain decrees,

321
00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:45.640
they prayed certain whatevers,

322
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:47.480
and then finally he's gonna drop it.

323
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.800
That's what these people believe

324
00:24:49.800 --> 00:24:51.820
because they believe that that's how good God is,

325
00:24:51.820 --> 00:24:53.320
which is a really good thing.

326
00:24:53.320 --> 00:24:55.920
I suddenly feel like I've wasted so much time.

327
00:24:56.840 --> 00:24:59.000
I know, I know.

328
00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:59.840
This is.

329
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.760
But the good thing is that when we finally realize that how good

330
00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:11.880
everything is, we just let it go and know we've already had it this whole time so

331
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:17.920
we can step into it. So it's not time wasted. We actually can step into

332
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:23.520
everything at this moment. We don't have to step into it later because remember

333
00:25:23.520 --> 00:25:27.600
there's nothing else to work for. The whole wasting time thing is this idea

334
00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:33.720
that I'm behind. I only have so much time to attain or to work towards. But if

335
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.480
you're already there, there's nothing else to do. You're already there. You

336
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.800
already have everything. Now you're a kid on a playground trying to

337
00:25:41.800 --> 00:25:45.920
learn what it is that you have and where it is that you are in this huge house

338
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.960
that you never knew existed. And you didn't know you could live here.

339
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.960
And now that you're here, you're just running around the house finding the

340
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:57.720
swimming pool, finding out that you've got the biggest bedroom that's as big as

341
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.480
your old big house. And it's actually your room all to yourself. And it's

342
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:07.680
everything that you've ever wanted is in there. And that everybody loves you. And

343
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:13.360
and everything. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. That's what it's kind of like.

344
00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:19.480
But yeah, that feeling of wasted time is operating down here. That

345
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:25.720
fear of missing out comes from these beliefs. Beliefs that we have carried

346
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:30.040
with us where we believe that there's a certain amount of time that we're

347
00:26:30.040 --> 00:26:36.720
allotted and that we're behind. Or that we can miss something. And it's just

348
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:42.360
not true. Because up here, all we have to do is step into it and we

349
00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:45.880
automatically have everything. We automatically have access to everything.

350
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:52.800
But yes, so here out of the soul, it is still operating believing

351
00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:58.080
that there's something that we have to do. Something that we're still

352
00:26:58.080 --> 00:27:04.880
outside of the veil and we're asking God to come down. God, come heal our land. God,

353
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:11.560
come bring revival. God, come rescue these poor sinners. God, come rescue me.

354
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.920
Rescue me from my attackers. I'm vulnerable. I'm this. And God's like,

355
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.160
you're no such thing. You're up here. Why do you think that you're a victim? You're

356
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:28.280
not a victim. Now, if we operate down here, we will receive what a victim would

357
00:27:28.280 --> 00:27:32.800
receive. Because we've framed up our paradigm like that. We've declared that

358
00:27:32.800 --> 00:27:37.160
who we are, who God is in relationship to us, that we're

359
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.840
separate from him. And therefore, the world will interact with us like that.

360
00:27:41.840 --> 00:27:46.280
But if we understand that and our businesses will interact with us like

361
00:27:46.280 --> 00:27:49.320
that, we have to work really hard for our business. Because we've declared that we

362
00:27:49.320 --> 00:27:52.120
have to. We've declared that we haven't been given everything. We've declared

363
00:27:52.120 --> 00:27:56.400
that we're the ones who have to work for our clients. All of that. But up here, if

364
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.720
we understand that we're actually already one with Christ, the veil

365
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:06.280
is torn. We already have access to Christ. We're in Christ. There's nothing above us

366
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.600
except for Christ who always has the preeminence. So we're really in Christ. He

367
00:28:10.600 --> 00:28:14.920
was not above us. We're in Christ. So we're one with him. Remember

368
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.640
in Hebrews, it talked about the fact that we are not Hebrews. I think it's Galatians.

369
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.880
It talked about we are one seed. Paul talks about the fact that we are one

370
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.600
seed and repeats that. And says that Christ is Abraham's seed and that anyone

371
00:28:27.600 --> 00:28:32.680
who is in Christ is also Abraham's seed. And Paul, remember, made it very

372
00:28:32.760 --> 00:28:38.760
clear. He said, I did not say seeds plural. He said, I said seed as in singular. In

373
00:28:38.760 --> 00:28:44.400
other words, we in Christ are one seed. So we're one seed with Christ. And it says

374
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:49.680
in, I believe it's in Hebrews, that God put everything under Christ's feet

375
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:54.520
except for God the Father. So literally, everything is under our feet,

376
00:28:54.520 --> 00:29:04.560
including Satan, under our feet, not over, not up here, under our feet. Because Satan

377
00:29:04.560 --> 00:29:09.480
operates out of this realm. He is under our feet. He's under Christ's feet.

378
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:13.600
Therefore, if we're one with Christ, then he's under our feet. Meaning, there is

379
00:29:13.600 --> 00:29:18.320
therefore now no more spiritual warfare. All this stuff that we were fighting

380
00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:24.160
against Satan was just a whole lot of work that we don't have to do. Because

381
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:28.880
we're the only ones in the universe that don't know we're here. Satan even knows

382
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:33.680
that we're here. What he uses against us is the fact that we don't believe we're

383
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:39.720
up here. And so it's like, oh I can take advantage of that. Because if they really

384
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:45.560
do believe that they're down here, well then I have power over them simply

385
00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:51.960
because they believe I do. That is the only way that Satan has power over you,

386
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:56.240
is if you believe that he does. Because you are the only one in the universe

387
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:02.040
that believes that he has power over you. You are the only one.

388
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.600
in the universe that believes that you're here. Everyone else, all other

389
00:30:03.600 --> 00:30:06.400
creatures, all other created beings, whether we're talking about like

390
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:12.120
heavenly beings, we're talking about even other created things like

391
00:30:12.120 --> 00:30:18.160
flowers and rocks and trees, everything knows. Stars, everything knows you're here

392
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:25.680
except you. So even Satan does and he uses that to his advantage. Exactly, we do

393
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.120
not battle Satan every day. I don't even think about Satan anymore. I

394
00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:34.040
just don't. That's wild for me because I used to live down here in

395
00:30:34.040 --> 00:30:40.200
this realm and I battled Satan all the time. I thought he's my enemy and he

396
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:44.280
could sneak up on me. That's what I was always told. Sneak up on me. You got to be

397
00:30:44.280 --> 00:30:48.340
careful. You know, the wiles of the devil. You know, you got to be

398
00:30:48.340 --> 00:30:53.100
defensive all the time. That's how to protect yourself. Oh, that's hogwash. We're

399
00:30:53.100 --> 00:30:58.860
up here. The only threat that Satan ever held to me is that I thought that he had

400
00:30:58.860 --> 00:31:04.660
a threat. That he held a threat against me. That is the only threat. So if I

401
00:31:04.660 --> 00:31:08.580
understand that I'm up here, I no longer have to battle him. So my spiritual

402
00:31:08.580 --> 00:31:12.500
warfare, for lack of a better phrase, is very different now than it used to be.

403
00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:15.380
Very, very, very different. So if y'all have questions about that, we can talk

404
00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:23.700
about how to... I keep scooting that over... about when those doubts and

405
00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:27.860
those fears come up and how to actually interact with that very differently than

406
00:31:27.860 --> 00:31:34.500
constantly battling Satan. Who needs to pay him any attention anyway? So he's

407
00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:39.020
not as powerful as we think he is. He's extremely powerful, but power is a

408
00:31:39.020 --> 00:31:43.900
relative term. I mean, powerful as compared to what? I mean, power, you have to have

409
00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:48.740
something to compare it to in order to be able to say that it's powerful. And

410
00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:53.700
relative to us, he's not powerful at all. Now, sure, relative to this realm, he's

411
00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:59.220
very powerful. But we're here, so he's not powerful at all. If we

412
00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:02.860
believe that we're down here, then we believe that he's very powerful. And

413
00:32:02.860 --> 00:32:07.860
he's down here as well. So remember that this is... remember that Paul talks

414
00:32:07.860 --> 00:32:14.340
about the first, second, and third heaven? First, second, third heaven. Three different

415
00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:20.020
realms to operate out of. First, second, third heaven. Physical earth, the

416
00:32:20.020 --> 00:32:24.740
metaphysical realm, which is what... and then God refers to the fact that there's

417
00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:29.860
second heaven and that Satan and his angels were kicked out of the

418
00:32:29.860 --> 00:32:33.500
first... of the third heaven into the second heaven. And then, of course, we have

419
00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:41.820
the third heaven where God is. So, let's see. I'm trying to think. There's... oh my word. You

420
00:32:41.820 --> 00:32:44.900
would not believe how detailed that you can get into all of this, which is very

421
00:32:44.900 --> 00:32:54.380
exciting. I'm trying to think what else to talk about. Okay. So, as far as... I guess

422
00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:59.940
it's on my phone. I had some notes that I wanted to remind myself of. Okay. So, as

423
00:33:00.100 --> 00:33:07.620
far as like moving from one to the other, I believe that there's more that we

424
00:33:07.620 --> 00:33:11.220
can be talking about this, but this at least lays the foundation to be able to

425
00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:15.020
bring this up in future discussions because I'll be able to say, okay, y'all

426
00:33:15.020 --> 00:33:17.940
remember the three realms, spirit, soul, and body, and then I'll be able to add

427
00:33:17.940 --> 00:33:23.020
more layers as we go along. But, so let me just wrap it up tonight with this and

428
00:33:23.020 --> 00:33:28.740
talk about, you know, how to move from one realm into the other. We move from one

429
00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:32.460
realm to the other based off of what it is that we believe. Do we believe that

430
00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:36.580
we're here? Do we believe that we're here? Or do we believe that we're here? What

431
00:33:36.580 --> 00:33:42.900
determines where we believe that we are? Our belief in the character of God. How

432
00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:48.260
good do we think that God is? How loving do we think that he is? That is what

433
00:33:48.260 --> 00:33:54.420
determines where we put ourselves. If we believe that he's in limited

434
00:33:54.420 --> 00:34:00.740
goodness and limited love, as in, I am nothing. God hasn't completely

435
00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:08.460
reconciled me to himself. Jesus only went so far and I have to go the rest of the

436
00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:12.739
way. Jesus provided me with the opportunity, so I took him up on

437
00:34:12.739 --> 00:34:18.380
the opportunity, but I still have to work the rest of the

438
00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:23.179
way to get there. I have to work to my throne. I have to work to the place of

439
00:34:23.219 --> 00:34:28.100
being seated in the heavenly realms. God said, no, you're already seated in the

440
00:34:28.100 --> 00:34:34.739
heavenly realms. But we're saying, no, no, that's not true. God's not that good. Do

441
00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:39.340
you see how God said something and we're saying, no, God, you're not that good. And

442
00:34:39.340 --> 00:34:48.380
so we frame up our world down here and we have to live down here. Oh, also, let

443
00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:52.219
me say this before I forget. Well, no, I think that that's going to just

444
00:34:52.219 --> 00:34:55.620
distract. So let me write myself a little note down here that I need

445
00:34:55.620 --> 00:35:01.780
to come back to that. Because Carrie had asked about...

446
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.120
Sowing and reaping and it operates according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. I bet you didn't see that one coming

447
00:35:06.720 --> 00:35:13.220
Okay, so but the the soul now that in the soul remember that this operate that these people

448
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.840
love to operate according to

449
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:18.760
Learning it's more and more and more knowledge

450
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:23.680
Where is the good one? Let's just use this. They love

451
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:26.840
knowledge

452
00:35:27.040 --> 00:35:29.040
Knowledge of spiritual things

453
00:35:30.560 --> 00:35:32.560
This is knowledge

454
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.120
Of

455
00:35:38.120 --> 00:35:40.120
earthly things

456
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:43.560
In other words physical things and this is knowledge

457
00:35:44.560 --> 00:35:46.560
spiritual things

458
00:35:49.240 --> 00:35:51.640
Hopefully you can see that I know it kind of like wrote that fast

459
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:56.340
So you notice what both of those ideas begin with the word knowledge?

460
00:35:57.340 --> 00:36:04.060
Knowledge of good and evil in other words, we think that we have to know something in

461
00:36:04.940 --> 00:36:06.940
Order to have it

462
00:36:07.380 --> 00:36:11.180
We think we have to know something in order to heal

463
00:36:12.020 --> 00:36:14.540
That if we don't know it if we don't know how

464
00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:18.620
Then we're not gonna heal. That's that's just hogwash

465
00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:22.140
We think that we have to know how

466
00:36:22.860 --> 00:36:27.500
Nutrition works in order to be healthy. We think that we have to know

467
00:36:29.100 --> 00:36:30.420
How

468
00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:32.420
Satan has

469
00:36:32.740 --> 00:36:39.580
Structured all of his demonic forces and how he operates in order to be able to defeat him

470
00:36:40.140 --> 00:36:41.820
It's all

471
00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:47.140
Knowledge, we think we have to know and understand the principle spiritual principles of things like

472
00:36:47.900 --> 00:36:49.900
Like

473
00:36:50.660 --> 00:36:56.060
Sewing and reaping and taking advantage of it in order to get a particular

474
00:36:56.660 --> 00:36:59.180
Results in order to be financially successful

475
00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:06.940
All of it is based on a roaring line. Yes. All of this is based on knowledge

476
00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:11.420
Everything and it all sounds good, doesn't it?

477
00:37:12.580 --> 00:37:14.100
nutrition

478
00:37:14.100 --> 00:37:16.620
sewing and reaping tithing tithing

479
00:37:17.140 --> 00:37:19.140
down here

480
00:37:20.700 --> 00:37:25.100
Really pulling everybody's good it blew mine when I first learned this I was like

481
00:37:26.740 --> 00:37:33.900
But it's true, it's true, uh, I yeah, I was gonna tell you something that would probably scare you

482
00:37:36.260 --> 00:37:37.260
But

483
00:37:37.260 --> 00:37:42.340
But anyway, so this is that like the knowledge of earthly things like think for instance, let's take let's take health

484
00:37:42.340 --> 00:37:44.340
that's a really big deal for people and

485
00:37:44.860 --> 00:37:46.860
That

486
00:37:47.260 --> 00:37:50.620
That we have to have knowledge of like say Western medicine

487
00:37:51.220 --> 00:37:58.820
Surgery physical knives all of that in order to actually heal from something like cancer in order to heal from I don't know

488
00:37:58.820 --> 00:38:03.540
whatever and that we have to have a lot of early knowledge about how earthly things work or

489
00:38:04.060 --> 00:38:07.220
Opera, you know or things like like like nutrition

490
00:38:09.460 --> 00:38:11.460
Organic versus

491
00:38:11.900 --> 00:38:17.860
Versus, you know pesticide ridden, you know things like that that that is the only way that we can stay healthy

492
00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:23.420
if that is the way that we have framed up our world and that it's the way that we have declared that it works and

493
00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:25.460
That we are subject to

494
00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:28.060
Then we're subjecting ourselves to it

495
00:38:29.500 --> 00:38:33.140
That's so it's not that it's not real it absolutely is real

496
00:38:35.020 --> 00:38:37.020
It's perfectly fine

497
00:38:37.140 --> 00:38:40.580
All of them are going to heaven God loves all of them

498
00:38:40.940 --> 00:38:46.020
They're all good and I didn't know about you, but I have operated in all of these rooms

499
00:38:46.020 --> 00:38:48.420
All of them God still loves me the same

500
00:38:49.060 --> 00:38:51.340
We're all going to heaven. It's okay

501
00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:55.420
I'll everybody in the everybody that's operating these realms is going to have in a matter

502
00:38:55.420 --> 00:38:58.700
You know what? It is that they believe and they will believe in like earthly

503
00:38:59.700 --> 00:39:05.700
earthly principles if they believe in learning more about spiritual principles or if they believe no

504
00:39:05.700 --> 00:39:07.900
I already have it all and I want to operate out of this place

505
00:39:07.900 --> 00:39:09.020
We're all going to heaven

506
00:39:09.020 --> 00:39:13.380
God loves us all the same God does not love these people more than he loves these people because they're like

507
00:39:13.380 --> 00:39:15.380
Oh, he's like, oh they finally got it

508
00:39:15.660 --> 00:39:18.580
It that doesn't change anything. He's just like, oh good

509
00:39:18.620 --> 00:39:25.540
Then makes life easier for yourself and you get to take up more of the mantle of your authority because you can operate from the father's

510
00:39:25.540 --> 00:39:27.660
Heart you can operate from a place of rest

511
00:39:27.700 --> 00:39:33.060
it's a lot more effortless to operate from this position because you are acknowledging the

512
00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:39.940
True character of God in your and and who it is that he's declared you to be these things understand

513
00:39:40.860 --> 00:39:47.060
Do not separate you from God. God's just saying I've provided you this

514
00:39:47.420 --> 00:39:49.420
Why would you want one of these?

515
00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:51.300
Why?

516
00:39:51.300 --> 00:39:54.740
So this one, let's keep going with with the health idea. So

517
00:39:56.020 --> 00:39:58.020
so for

518
00:39:58.100 --> 00:40:00.100
If people are operating out of

519
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.920
at this place. This is where you get a lot of the faith healing. I believe, I

520
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:08.840
believe, I believe. If I hold my confession, if I try, if I try, if I try, if

521
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:15.080
we, if we learn all of the, if we go to a training and if we and learn about, learn

522
00:40:15.080 --> 00:40:21.320
about healing like, I don't know, Smith Wigglesworth or, or if you want to get

523
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:25.800
into the charismatic, you know, then Katherine Kuhlman or, you know, whatever.

524
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:31.360
If, if, if we can learn from them, if we can go to their conferences, of course

525
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:35.200
both those people are dead, but you know what I'm saying, people, Curry Blake, you

526
00:40:35.200 --> 00:40:40.000
know, whoever, that, that's a, that's a current one. You know, these word of, these

527
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:46.680
word of faith and people, they operate out of this realm. In other

528
00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:51.400
words, they frame up their world in this way. That's what I'm saying. They're

529
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:56.080
framing their world up in this way. In some areas of my life, this is where I

530
00:40:56.080 --> 00:41:00.840
frame up my world. In some areas of my life, I've noticed I frame up my world

531
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:07.440
down here and in other areas of my life, the Lord has moved me to, to frame up

532
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:13.240
my world up here. I am more looking to, which is what I teach, you know, people,

533
00:41:13.240 --> 00:41:15.840
you know, as far as like business, to operate their businesses from a place of

534
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.960
rest, is I teach people and, and I'm learning more and more how to operate

535
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.920
from this place in my business, in my relationships and everything else from

536
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:29.480
place of rest, but it's, it's a, it's a journey. I'm having to, I'm having to

537
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:35.800
traverse because what I'm doing is I'm overcoming my flesh. That's what it is

538
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:42.640
that we're doing. By traveling up, we are overcoming our flesh. It really, it's not

539
00:41:42.640 --> 00:41:46.880
traveling up. This is our nature to be here. All we have to do is let go of

540
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:51.400
these things and then we're naturally here. We don't have to work ourselves up

541
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:56.640
because remember, this is our nature. So, so like I said, this would be kind of

542
00:41:56.640 --> 00:41:59.840
like the faith healing, whatever. I've got to hold my confession. I have to hold it.

543
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:04.480
In other words, I still have to work. That yes, it's by faith, but I have to work for

544
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:08.040
my faith. I have to try really, really, really hard. Remember all those things

545
00:42:08.040 --> 00:42:12.200
that we've been talking about where we're wondering, okay, yeah, but, but how

546
00:42:12.200 --> 00:42:16.800
do I believe? How do I believe? And I said, you've got to stop trying because when

547
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:22.600
ever you're doing anything that starts with the word try, it's from here down.

548
00:42:22.600 --> 00:42:28.160
You could even be operating from here, but you're still trying, meaning that

549
00:42:28.160 --> 00:42:31.480
it's operating according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We think

550
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:39.560
that we have to work to, to move up and God's like, no, you just accept and

551
00:42:39.560 --> 00:42:43.480
believe that you're up here, but you don't try. So anything that starts with

552
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:49.480
the word try means that we're adding effort to it. So it would be like all of

553
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:53.400
these, the knowledge of all of the spiritual stuff. And then, of course, this

554
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:58.680
is where a lot of spiritual warfare is, is operated from. A lot of the really

555
00:42:58.680 --> 00:43:04.800
complex inner healing things, you know, where you go and you, and you go, I don't

556
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:08.400
know how much some of you have heard about some of this, these teachings, like

557
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:12.460
going back through your bloodline and trying to figure out, okay, where did the

558
00:43:12.460 --> 00:43:16.540
root of bitterness come in? Did it come in through my great-grandfather? What did

559
00:43:16.540 --> 00:43:21.340
he do? Where did this sexual sin enter our family or the sin of alcoholism or

560
00:43:21.340 --> 00:43:25.740
the, this tendency that we have towards alcoholism, you know, or I don't know,

561
00:43:25.740 --> 00:43:33.420
whatever. It could be of anger or, I don't know, unbelief, whatever. And then

562
00:43:33.420 --> 00:43:36.820
they traverse and you hire these people and sometimes you don't hire them,

563
00:43:36.820 --> 00:43:40.540
sometimes they just offer it for free, you know, ministers, and they'll walk you

564
00:43:40.540 --> 00:43:46.420
back for hours, multiple sessions, back through your bloodline, repenting of

565
00:43:46.420 --> 00:43:50.460
everything that you can. And then there's this process for repentance to talk your

566
00:43:50.460 --> 00:43:55.420
soul through agreeing with the fact that you should repent and all of that. I'm

567
00:43:55.420 --> 00:44:01.660
not, understand, I have done those things. I've gone back through my bloodline for

568
00:44:01.660 --> 00:44:07.940
things. I've done these things and I'm not discrediting them and saying that

569
00:44:07.940 --> 00:44:15.540
they are bad. In other words, that they are, that they can't be

570
00:44:15.540 --> 00:44:20.540
used, that I'm not a Christian. That's what I'm trying to say. I'm not saying

571
00:44:20.540 --> 00:44:27.820
that at all. I think my arm is going to sleep from holding this. Sorry, let me see

572
00:44:27.820 --> 00:44:35.740
if I can move this. I'm just saying, I'm trying to identify for us areas in which

573
00:44:35.780 --> 00:44:41.500
we operate on a daily basis that we were taught in the church. When God says, you

574
00:44:41.500 --> 00:44:45.580
don't need to do all of that though. Sorry, you probably can't even see me now. You

575
00:44:45.580 --> 00:44:50.620
don't have to do all of that though. All you have to do is this. Remember, these

576
00:44:50.620 --> 00:44:59.980
people are operating according to the laws that God himself created. Satan did

577
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.640
create these laws. Let's see if I can, if y'all can see me. Satan did not

578
00:45:07.640 --> 00:45:13.680
create these laws. God did. God created the physical laws by which way

579
00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:19.640
the physical universe works. You know, like we were talking about health. God's

580
00:45:19.640 --> 00:45:24.840
the one who decided that thistles, you know, could heal. You know, that the milk

581
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:30.880
of thistles could heal. He's the one that determined that essential oils can

582
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:34.880
help the body heal. Remember, they don't, I understand, they don't heal. You know,

583
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:38.200
all of these things help remove hindrances that the body is taking to

584
00:45:38.200 --> 00:45:42.040
heal. All of these things are good. They're not bad. God's the one who

585
00:45:42.040 --> 00:45:45.880
created them. God's like, hey, these are tools. You can use them. When Christ was

586
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:54.880
on earth, he used tools. He was a carpenter. He used tools. He ate. He used

587
00:45:54.880 --> 00:46:03.000
physical laws by which to keep, by which to give his body sustenance. He ate fish.

588
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:10.760
Remember, even when he had a spiritual body, he ate in front of them. God doesn't

589
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:17.720
create bad things. The reason that what it is that he's saying here, when

590
00:46:17.720 --> 00:46:21.200
he's saying, I want you to operate from this place, is he said, I want you to know

591
00:46:21.200 --> 00:46:28.240
that I am your source. That none of these things are your source. None of these

592
00:46:28.240 --> 00:46:35.120
things serve, none of, you don't serve these things. You should not have to toil

593
00:46:35.120 --> 00:46:40.240
and sweat for your provision and protection. You should not have to toil

594
00:46:40.240 --> 00:46:48.400
and sweat and use these tools to give you something. He's like, you already have

595
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:56.520
everything, but you can use these tools just fine because I created them. He says,

596
00:46:56.520 --> 00:47:02.840
I created them. I created all those herbs and all of those, all of those, the plants.

597
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:10.320
He gives people all of the insight to be able to develop Western medicine. Those

598
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:16.960
things aren't bad. God doesn't create bad things. His, what he's saying is, he

599
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:22.120
says, y'all need to stop relying on them and thinking they're what's keeping you

600
00:47:22.120 --> 00:47:27.480
alive. He said, I am. He said, I provide your source. I am your source. I provide

601
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:33.840
your healing. I provide your finances. I provide your business with clients. It's

602
00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:39.560
not because you're doing things. He said, but I created physical laws that you can

603
00:47:39.560 --> 00:47:47.680
operate within. You can partner with me enjoying the earth where you understand

604
00:47:47.680 --> 00:47:51.840
that these physical and these spiritual laws, because there's spiritual laws as

605
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:58.920
well, like things like rest. What are other spiritual laws? I don't know. Sowing

606
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:02.320
and reaping, you know, all of those good things. Those are, those are not bad

607
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:06.960
things. God, again, God does not create bad things. He just wants us to know that

608
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:13.320
these are not our source. We can use them. We can interact with them. If God didn't

609
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:16.840
want us to interact with them and if they would have caused us to sin, he

610
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:22.960
wouldn't have given them to us. They're not bad, but he says it's the attitude

611
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:31.400
and the perspective and the belief that you have that you have to harness these

612
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:36.760
things in order to provide for or protect yourself. He said, that's the

613
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:41.480
problem. Once you know that you're up here and that I provide you with

614
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:46.080
everything and that your business doesn't, that, that you don't even have to

615
00:48:46.080 --> 00:48:49.400
work in your business in order for, you don't even have to have a business, in

616
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:55.800
order for me to bring you money, in order for me to provide for you, but now that

617
00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:01.920
you know that, now I want you to enjoy all of the business activities. Just

618
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:10.480
enjoy it because it's fun, but they don't give you the clients. But if we've cut

619
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:15.960
God off, we think, we harness these spiritual laws that God put into place

620
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:21.480
or these earthly laws that God put into place and how to use like people, you

621
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:25.640
know, human psychology and in our marketing, how to make people feel

622
00:49:25.640 --> 00:49:29.160
comfortable, how to develop relationships with people, how to use particular

623
00:49:29.160 --> 00:49:36.000
formulas, all of that stuff works. All of it does, but if we use it believing that

624
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:41.080
is how I get clients, that is how I provide for myself, that is how I can

625
00:49:41.080 --> 00:49:46.920
control my results and we've separated ourselves from God, not believing that

626
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:50.340
he's the one that gives us clients and it's actually our activity that gives

627
00:49:50.340 --> 00:49:55.720
us clients, that's the problem. That's operating from down here. If we believe

628
00:49:55.720 --> 00:49:59.000
that it's our activity,

629
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.960
amount of time that we're putting into our business, how many people that we've reached out to,

630
00:50:05.680 --> 00:50:11.840
I don't know, just all kinds of things. How many people have signed up this week, whether or not

631
00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:19.040
I followed all of the protocols that I should have in a particular intensive, you know, whatever.

632
00:50:19.040 --> 00:50:23.920
If we think that that is what is getting us the result and that that is what is providing for us,

633
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:28.720
that's the problem. That means that we're operating according to this system.

634
00:50:29.520 --> 00:50:36.640
As opposed to operating from this system and getting to benefit from having these things,

635
00:50:36.640 --> 00:50:41.840
from having these spiritual principles, from having these physical laws, because everything

636
00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:47.600
is meant to serve us. And when we operate from these places down here, we're serving them

637
00:50:48.160 --> 00:50:54.400
because we believe that they can get us what it is that we need. But operating from the spirit,

638
00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:00.320
we realize, wait a minute, this spiritual Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

639
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:04.720
I'm above the spiritual principles. Do we see that we're even above spiritual principles?

640
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:10.480
Spiritual principles are supposed to serve us. Yes, physical laws are supposed to serve us too.

641
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:17.440
That's why Jesus was able to calm the wind in the waves, because it responded to a higher power.

642
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:20.800
And that's why he got it, why he turned back to the disciples. He was like,

643
00:51:21.600 --> 00:51:25.600
why on earth did you wake me up? He's like, you could have done this.

644
00:51:27.200 --> 00:51:32.240
Why? Because he's like, you're up here, you've got power and you have authority.

645
00:51:33.120 --> 00:51:40.000
The physical laws serve you. It's creation that responds to you. The spiritual laws

646
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:46.800
respond to you. The spiritual laws serve you, not the other way around. So I'm still starting

647
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:51.840
with feeling like I need to do my part. I know, I know we do. But see, God doesn't need us to.

648
00:51:54.240 --> 00:52:00.560
See, the idea of doing our part, again, means that there's something that is,

649
00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:11.680
that means that we believe that we are lacking and that we do not deserve to be given to unless we,

650
00:52:11.680 --> 00:52:19.040
quote, pull our weight. And that comes from a feeling and from a belief that we're lacking

651
00:52:19.040 --> 00:52:26.640
and we don't deserve. And God says that he loves us and that because he loves us, we're deserving.

652
00:52:28.160 --> 00:52:34.160
And he gives us everything without working for it. If he would die for us and give and allow

653
00:52:34.160 --> 00:52:40.640
us to be reunited with him while we were hating him, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do worse

654
00:52:40.640 --> 00:52:48.000
than that to be more undeserving. I mean, there's just nothing at all. So the nice thing is we just

655
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:51.760
have to remember, okay, who does God say that I am? Every time we feel that there's something

656
00:52:53.040 --> 00:52:57.520
that I'm not doing or something that I need to work harder, I need to do more,

657
00:52:57.520 --> 00:53:02.000
God's not pleased with me. God's not going to bless my business because now I'm resting so

658
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:06.160
much in my mind and in my attitude, I'm apparently not taking business seriously.

659
00:53:06.720 --> 00:53:12.240
You know, we can even run into condemnation, you know, trying to now operate from this

660
00:53:12.240 --> 00:53:17.280
understanding of rest. Oh my word, I bet you that God is, that I'm doing this all wrong.

661
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:25.520
And that unless I do this perfectly and just right, then God is not going to, that God's not

662
00:53:25.520 --> 00:53:30.240
going to move me into these new things. He's going to abandon me somewhere and it's going to be my

663
00:53:31.200 --> 00:53:38.240
fault that I didn't understand and that I didn't get it. He tried to teach me. He tried. It's all

664
00:53:38.240 --> 00:53:42.880
my fault. You know, all of that is believing that we're in a place of lack and that we're

665
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:52.480
undeserving. We no longer have any weight to pull. So what I can say about the whole weight thing,

666
00:53:53.200 --> 00:54:00.880
I can turn this around. Um, oh shoot. Okay. Before I do, uh, before I talk about the whole weight

667
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:07.040
thing, let me go back to, I'm going to write this note for myself. Okay. So I'm going to go back

668
00:54:07.040 --> 00:54:11.600
here to talk about, uh, sewing and reaping. So sewing and reaping just really quick, you know,

669
00:54:11.600 --> 00:54:15.280
the whole idea of like, and it doesn't even have to be tithe, but it could just be like,

670
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:24.000
I don't know if we sowed bitterness, if we, um, uh, I don't know if we lived, uh, if we made

671
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:32.240
really bad immoral decisions early on in our lives or whatever, if we, uh, smoke and eventually,

672
00:54:32.240 --> 00:54:36.640
you know, decades later we get lung cancer. Oh, well, you're just reaping what you sow,

673
00:54:37.200 --> 00:54:41.920
you know, that is, is according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,

674
00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:48.960
because what it is that we're saying is we believe that by doing something that, that for

675
00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:55.040
ourselves, that we're getting a particular result. So in other words, I'm doing something in order

676
00:54:55.040 --> 00:54:59.840
to, uh, like if I, if I frame up my world, like if I eat healthy, that is,

677
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.240
the only way that I will be healthy. That means that I believe I'm outside the

678
00:55:05.240 --> 00:55:11.880
curtain and I'm trying to get back in. So the problem with that, that sounds great

679
00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:17.240
as long as you can hold to it. If you can hold to it though, what it

680
00:55:17.240 --> 00:55:23.440
leads to is pride that you attain to it. You're healthy. Somebody else isn't.

681
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:28.400
Well, we bring in and we judge them. We have a lot of pride

682
00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:34.840
because we worked really hard. We ate healthy. We were very slim. We're

683
00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:40.280
whatever. And then we judge people who aren't because we worked hard to attain

684
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:45.560
to this standard that we believe that we needed to attain to in order to some

685
00:55:45.560 --> 00:55:51.160
kind of meet some some standard that would all give that but through which we

686
00:55:51.160 --> 00:55:55.280
would please the Lord. That he would give us good gifts. That he would whatever. I

687
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:01.320
worked for my health. Therefore, if you don't work for your health, you're lazy.

688
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:07.640
You're not disciplined enough. You're whatever. However, what if that so it

689
00:56:07.640 --> 00:56:12.040
leads us to judgment. Pride and judgment which is what pride is. Pride is just

690
00:56:12.040 --> 00:56:18.840
judgment. That's all that it is. And then the tables though, if we're choosing

691
00:56:18.840 --> 00:56:23.720
to operate according to that, it also means that we reap the negative

692
00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:28.560
consequences. So we don't just get to reap the good things that we sow because

693
00:56:28.560 --> 00:56:33.800
we frame up our world in the belief that well the world operates

694
00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:38.260
according to sowing and reaping. That's great or it seems great when you when we

695
00:56:38.260 --> 00:56:42.120
harness it and we get the good things. It also means though because we framed up

696
00:56:42.120 --> 00:56:45.360
our world that it operates according to reaping and sowing and that I don't

697
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:49.400
deserve good gifts just because God's a good father but he's expecting me to do

698
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:53.120
my part and he's expecting me to do something. If we frame up our world like

699
00:56:53.120 --> 00:56:59.760
that, then we also put ourselves in a position where we fall into condemnation

700
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:06.440
when we don't sow or when we sow something negative I should say. When we

701
00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:11.080
sow something negative, we're gonna get a negative. We're gonna reap something

702
00:57:11.080 --> 00:57:16.920
negative. So it's a double-edged sword. For one thing, we have to work really

703
00:57:17.040 --> 00:57:23.920
hard to get the thing that we want which isn't fun and then it leads to pride and

704
00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:29.680
judgment of everyone else. Pride of ourselves and judgment to everyone else

705
00:57:29.680 --> 00:57:33.240
who hasn't done what we did. They didn't fast long enough. They didn't pray long

706
00:57:33.240 --> 00:57:36.960
enough. They must not have been disciplined, spiritually disciplined,

707
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:41.880
physically disciplined, whatever in order to reach a particular goal or it can

708
00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:48.320
also lead to condemnation as well where we condemn others. Sorry, we condemn

709
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:55.280
ourselves because we worked really hard to be healthy. We were exercised a lot

710
00:57:55.280 --> 00:58:01.680
and we still couldn't lose the weight. Now we're condemned or we were on the

711
00:58:01.680 --> 00:58:08.560
diet for four weeks but we needed to be on it for 12 and then suddenly we

712
00:58:08.560 --> 00:58:12.680
couldn't take it anymore and we got off the diet and we just thought, oh it's

713
00:58:12.680 --> 00:58:17.960
just gonna be for one dinner but you got off for one dinner and regardless of

714
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:23.080
what you see on the scale, you now put yourself in self-condemnation because

715
00:58:23.080 --> 00:58:28.960
you fell off the wagon. To use an Alcoholics Anonymous phrase, fell off the

716
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:36.760
wagon and so it either leads to pride when we've attained it or condemnation

717
00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:40.320
when we haven't. Condemnation when we haven't because we knew that we could

718
00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:46.800
have. If we had worked hard enough, if we'd had the right opportunity, if we'd

719
00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:53.320
believed enough, if we had listened to the right teaching, the right preacher

720
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:59.280
to give us the knowledge that we were somehow missing, that we needed in order

721
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:07.520
to finally understand how I could be healed. Healed of my wounds. What it is

722
00:59:07.520 --> 00:59:15.680
that God wanted. He wants me and he wants me to serve him and the

723
00:59:15.680 --> 00:59:20.320
fact that I don't have something from the Lord that I want, it's not his fault.

724
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:30.040
It's all mine and therefore I feel ashamed. I feel condemned because I

725
00:59:30.040 --> 00:59:34.520
know that it was expected of me and if I had worked hard enough and searched long

726
00:59:34.520 --> 00:59:37.880
enough, I could have found it. I could have found the answer. I could have found

727
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:45.240
what it is that God wants. That God wants of me and wants me to do and

728
00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:48.440
because we're believing that we don't already have it.

729
00:59:48.440 --> 00:59:53.160
Hey Amy! We're believing that we don't already have it and that we're not

730
00:59:53.160 --> 01:00:02.040
already there. Okay, so that is that's the...

731
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.000
thing and let me know if I didn't explain that well enough because I

732
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:08.640
actually feel like I went through that really quick and and the other day I

733
01:00:08.640 --> 01:00:14.120
gave I gave Carrie in our private consultation I said I promise I hadn't

734
01:00:14.120 --> 01:00:17.160
forgotten your your your question so let me just give you a really quick

735
01:00:17.160 --> 01:00:21.800
highlight but for some reason I'm feeling I explained a bit more there

736
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:25.720
than I did here so it must be because in my mind I'm thinking oh well I've

737
01:00:25.720 --> 01:00:29.440
already explained it so I don't remember what it is I'm missing so if there's

738
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:34.720
some question that y'all have in there about how that I didn't explain about

739
01:00:34.720 --> 01:00:37.360
sewing ramping and the fact that it's according to the tree of the knowledge

740
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:40.840
of an evil in other words it is a spiritual principle that God created

741
01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:45.600
remember God does not create anything bad doesn't God does not create sinful

742
01:00:45.600 --> 01:00:51.920
things spiritual principles are not simple earthly principles and laws are

743
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:57.400
not sinful but believing that there are source in that we can use them and that

744
01:00:57.400 --> 01:01:01.640
we need to use them in order to get to God to make him pleased with us that

745
01:01:01.640 --> 01:01:07.600
this is our source that we can use in order to attain an inheritance that's

746
01:01:07.600 --> 01:01:15.440
the problem and they are meant to serve us we're not meant to serve them okay

747
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:22.160
and I can so many different things to say let me go back to that in just a

748
01:01:22.160 --> 01:01:26.680
second because I wanted to just touch on one thing really quick before I leave

749
01:01:26.680 --> 01:01:33.440
but before I do I wanted to talk about the the mantle really quick so I hope

750
01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:38.320
I'm not just like throwing this middle of nowhere and God gave me this picture

751
01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:46.200
one time I was standing with him and it was a really really fascinating time

752
01:01:46.200 --> 01:01:52.280
with him and I had this brown cloak on and he took the brown cloak off this

753
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:56.040
this mantle and he took and he took it off of me he said you don't need that

754
01:01:56.040 --> 01:01:59.600
he said let me take that that's what he said he said let me take that and then

755
01:01:59.600 --> 01:02:04.960
he gave me this Queen's robe like as in Queen Elizabeth's coronation robe it's

756
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:09.120
that thing is so long I don't remember how long it is it's at least six yards

757
01:02:09.120 --> 01:02:16.840
long it is so long and probably an at least a yard and a half wide completely

758
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:24.040
lined with ermine beautiful thick plush ermine and and like a you can go look it

759
01:02:24.040 --> 01:02:29.640
up on on on online Queen Elizabeth's coronation robe or something like that

760
01:02:29.640 --> 01:02:34.680
really really fascinating so he put something like that on me here here's

761
01:02:34.680 --> 01:02:37.800
what was really interesting when he put it on me I looked like I was about four

762
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:43.920
years old and here's what was cool about that picture that he showed me so here's

763
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:56.000
my shoulders so the and the robe now I'm talking about a robe pink and this

764
01:02:56.000 --> 01:03:02.760
has helped me tremendously because I never understood how is it that I could

765
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:10.640
have everything but I still feel that there's power and authority that I'm not

766
01:03:10.640 --> 01:03:15.400
operating in that God says is mine but he says he can't give it to me yet

767
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:21.880
because I am and that I can't operate out of it yet because I'm still under to

768
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:26.640
being taught by tutors and governors I'm still maturing I didn't understand how I

769
01:03:26.640 --> 01:03:33.200
could have everything but still needed to mature in order to be able to actually

770
01:03:33.200 --> 01:03:37.320
have it I thought that doesn't make any sense I was so confused until the Lord

771
01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:42.560
showed me this picture so anyway so standing with him I'm actually before

772
01:03:42.560 --> 01:03:48.120
the cross sort of kind of long story and and and so he put this mantle on me and

773
01:03:48.120 --> 01:03:53.520
so this mantle like I said I looked about for this visual to work I'm gonna

774
01:03:53.520 --> 01:04:02.320
have to I'm gonna have to make myself smaller okay so let's say I was like four

775
01:04:02.320 --> 01:04:06.480
years old here or that's what I wasn't for but that's what I looked like looked

776
01:04:06.480 --> 01:04:14.280
for and then he put this mantle on me and it went way out here something like

777
01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:19.680
that and I know this isn't great but there you go and it was on me like that

778
01:04:19.680 --> 01:04:28.360
and and so what this showed me is he gave me the entire mantle the entire

779
01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:34.640
thing right at the beginning he gave me all my identity all my power all of my

780
01:04:34.680 --> 01:04:40.080
authority everything that comes with who I am he gave me all of my inheritance I

781
01:04:40.080 --> 01:04:48.200
did just for you stuff so this is Steph everybody this is this is her mantle

782
01:04:48.200 --> 01:04:50.480
because it's pink because it's her favorite color which is why it's her

783
01:04:50.480 --> 01:04:55.000
favorite color because her spirit man knows that her mantle is pink anyway but

784
01:04:55.000 --> 01:05:02.320
see at four years old the only thing the only part of the mantle those

785
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.840
These mantles, by the way, are extremely heavy.

786
01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:04.240
They are very, very heavy.

787
01:05:04.240 --> 01:05:08.400
That velvet and the ermine is extremely heavy.

788
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:10.040
That is, that's not cheap stuff

789
01:05:10.040 --> 01:05:11.480
that you buy from the costume store.

790
01:05:11.480 --> 01:05:14.320
That's the real stuff that is very heavy.

791
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:16.820
And so, you actually have to be very strong

792
01:05:16.820 --> 01:05:19.400
in order to pull it forward on the floor.

793
01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:21.960
And so, when Queen Elizabeth walks,

794
01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:25.600
she has her entourage carry it,

795
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:28.920
because it's so heavy.

796
01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:31.760
Anyway, so the only part of this mantle,

797
01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:35.480
even though I was given the entire mantle,

798
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:36.960
this is Steph, I forgot.

799
01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:40.080
Even though Steph is given the entire mantle,

800
01:05:40.080 --> 01:05:45.080
the only part that she is carrying the weight of

801
01:05:45.740 --> 01:05:50.160
is from here, from her shoulders, to here.

802
01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:54.360
This is the only part that she's bearing the weight of,

803
01:05:54.360 --> 01:05:57.960
because the ground is bearing the weight of the rest of it.

804
01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:00.720
But she was given all of it, all of it.

805
01:06:00.720 --> 01:06:02.240
Nobody else is under that mantle.

806
01:06:02.240 --> 01:06:04.760
Nobody else is carrying part of it.

807
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:07.480
Stephanie was given all of it.

808
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:13.320
But the only part that she's bearing right now,

809
01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:15.200
that's pulling on her shoulder,

810
01:06:15.200 --> 01:06:17.480
that her shoulders are bearing the weight of,

811
01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:20.480
the only part of that mantle is from anything

812
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:21.980
from her shoulders to the ground,

813
01:06:21.980 --> 01:06:24.200
based off of how tall she is,

814
01:06:24.200 --> 01:06:26.600
because that's all that her body can bear.

815
01:06:26.640 --> 01:06:29.000
But then, as she gets taller,

816
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:31.320
yeah, go Steph, that's right.

817
01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:33.680
That's right, Steph is our inspiration tonight.

818
01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:39.640
But as Steph gets taller and older

819
01:06:39.640 --> 01:06:41.780
and more spiritually mature,

820
01:06:41.780 --> 01:06:46.780
more of that mantle gets pulled up onto her shoulders,

821
01:06:47.220 --> 01:06:49.320
very naturally, very effortlessly,

822
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:52.960
and now she's bearing the weight of all of this,

823
01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:54.780
of all of this area.

824
01:06:54.780 --> 01:06:57.580
Before, she was only bearing like this much.

825
01:06:57.580 --> 01:06:59.420
Now she's bearing all of this,

826
01:06:59.420 --> 01:07:02.060
and she didn't have to try.

827
01:07:02.060 --> 01:07:04.780
All she did is she just grew taller,

828
01:07:04.780 --> 01:07:07.580
just grew taller and more spiritually mature in the Lord.

829
01:07:07.580 --> 01:07:11.260
And as she did that, she naturally was,

830
01:07:11.260 --> 01:07:13.680
according to the spiritual laws that God put into place,

831
01:07:13.680 --> 01:07:16.940
she's naturally bearing more and more weight

832
01:07:16.940 --> 01:07:21.540
of the mantle that has always been hers.

833
01:07:21.540 --> 01:07:24.740
So that's how, I'm so sorry, I don't have to carry this.

834
01:07:25.700 --> 01:07:28.180
I've never asked you how tall you are.

835
01:07:28.180 --> 01:07:33.180
So, you always just look to me like you'd be tall.

836
01:07:33.660 --> 01:07:35.580
I always just assumed you were my height.

837
01:07:35.580 --> 01:07:36.940
I was like, Steph's tall,

838
01:07:36.940 --> 01:07:39.740
it's just so obvious from her videos.

839
01:07:40.780 --> 01:07:44.020
But, so you're given your mantle in the beginning.

840
01:07:44.020 --> 01:07:47.060
You're given the power, the authority, your destiny,

841
01:07:47.060 --> 01:07:48.480
all of these things.

842
01:07:49.540 --> 01:07:50.660
That gets a little confusing,

843
01:07:50.660 --> 01:07:53.300
but I'm just trying to be very simple about all of this.

844
01:07:53.340 --> 01:07:57.420
You were given what you were destined

845
01:07:57.420 --> 01:07:59.700
to bear the responsibility of.

846
01:07:59.700 --> 01:08:01.140
Not a bad responsibility.

847
01:08:01.140 --> 01:08:03.020
Remember, it's not a burden.

848
01:08:03.020 --> 01:08:04.320
It's not a burden.

849
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:07.060
But what you were given the opportunity

850
01:08:07.060 --> 01:08:09.500
to collaborate with the Lord in,

851
01:08:09.500 --> 01:08:11.380
according to his Father's heart,

852
01:08:11.380 --> 01:08:13.020
that you delight in, that you enjoy.

853
01:08:13.020 --> 01:08:14.260
Like, think of the businesses

854
01:08:14.260 --> 01:08:16.660
that are just burning in your heart.

855
01:08:16.660 --> 01:08:18.720
When you're actually doing something you love,

856
01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:20.580
it doesn't feel like work.

857
01:08:20.580 --> 01:08:21.979
Like, think about when you're having,

858
01:08:21.979 --> 01:08:23.819
when you take your kids to the fair

859
01:08:23.819 --> 01:08:26.380
and y'all are at a really nice moment

860
01:08:26.380 --> 01:08:28.020
where you're just taking care of the kids.

861
01:08:28.020 --> 01:08:31.340
Like, everybody's happy, nothing's wrong.

862
01:08:31.340 --> 01:08:34.260
Nobody's going astray and you're having to tell so-and-so

863
01:08:34.260 --> 01:08:35.779
to not go too far.

864
01:08:35.779 --> 01:08:37.060
Everything's going right.

865
01:08:37.060 --> 01:08:39.200
Everything's going fine.

866
01:08:39.200 --> 01:08:42.880
Parenting is a responsibility in that moment,

867
01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:44.540
but it doesn't feel like a burden.

868
01:08:45.740 --> 01:08:46.620
You love it.

869
01:08:46.620 --> 01:08:47.979
It is so much fun.

870
01:08:47.979 --> 01:08:49.939
When you love what it is that you're doing,

871
01:08:49.939 --> 01:08:52.500
it's not a burden and it's not a weight.

872
01:08:52.500 --> 01:08:55.819
I mean, it's a weight, but it's not a negative weight.

873
01:08:55.819 --> 01:08:57.939
It's something that you enjoy.

874
01:08:57.939 --> 01:09:01.260
I personally really enjoy responsibility.

875
01:09:01.260 --> 01:09:05.020
The more responsibility I have, the better that I perform.

876
01:09:05.020 --> 01:09:08.260
And here's the thing is, I'm not different.

877
01:09:08.260 --> 01:09:11.100
Here's the thing is, that didn't make any sense.

878
01:09:11.100 --> 01:09:12.580
Here's the thing.

879
01:09:12.580 --> 01:09:15.220
I'm not different than other people.

880
01:09:16.220 --> 01:09:18.700
I just recognize that about myself,

881
01:09:18.700 --> 01:09:20.340
but everybody's like that.

882
01:09:20.340 --> 01:09:21.420
Everybody.

883
01:09:21.420 --> 01:09:25.340
The more responsibility that they have, including children.

884
01:09:25.340 --> 01:09:26.939
Amy writes about this in her book.

885
01:09:26.939 --> 01:09:27.779
I've loved it.

886
01:09:27.779 --> 01:09:29.439
I was like, that is exactly right.

887
01:09:30.740 --> 01:09:33.260
Because that's what I teach business leaders.

888
01:09:33.260 --> 01:09:35.859
That's when we talk about leadership in business,

889
01:09:35.859 --> 01:09:37.880
we're going to be talking about that same idea,

890
01:09:37.880 --> 01:09:39.800
is that people perform better

891
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:42.300
when they're given responsibility.

892
01:09:42.300 --> 01:09:44.620
It's just natural, natural thing of like,

893
01:09:44.620 --> 01:09:47.100
yes, there's risk in giving it,

894
01:09:47.100 --> 01:09:48.700
but you father somebody into it.

895
01:09:48.700 --> 01:09:50.380
You father your team members into it,

896
01:09:50.380 --> 01:09:52.220
just like you father a child into it,

897
01:09:52.220 --> 01:09:55.380
just like you're being fathered into it as well.

898
01:09:55.380 --> 01:09:58.060
So I wanted to mention this in relationship to the spirit,

899
01:09:58.060 --> 01:10:00.060
because even though we have everything.

900
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:06.600
There's still an element of growth but we are given it all in the

901
01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:10.480
beginning and as we grow and we spiritually mature, we naturally

902
01:10:10.480 --> 01:10:17.080
effortlessly pull up and take on more and more power and authority

903
01:10:17.080 --> 01:10:22.000
based off of the height to which we've now grown in the Lord. But we've always

904
01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:28.480
had it. God isn't giving us more and more power and authority per se.

905
01:10:28.480 --> 01:10:32.800
There might be some element in which he is, in which I have yet to

906
01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:37.720
understand, in which God hasn't shown me. But I do know for sure, because he's the

907
01:10:37.720 --> 01:10:42.680
one who showed me this picture, I know for sure that in a very general

908
01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:48.320
broad-brush sense, at least for us to be able to grasp as a

909
01:10:48.320 --> 01:10:53.720
foundational building block that we can start with, that we are given everything

910
01:10:53.720 --> 01:10:58.040
in the beginning. But we're very flexible. This is what we believe today. We might

911
01:10:58.040 --> 01:11:01.360
believe something tomorrow, but based off of God's continued

912
01:11:01.360 --> 01:11:06.680
revelation. But he gives us everything it is that we need and then as we grow in

913
01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:12.040
him, we effortlessly begin to bear more and more and more

914
01:11:12.040 --> 01:11:18.840
weight. We don't have to pull on it and insist, okay, Lord, I now get more. No, it

915
01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:22.360
naturally comes with the territory. It naturally comes with more and more

916
01:11:22.360 --> 01:11:27.600
spiritual maturity. Okay, last thing that I want to talk about. I have a lot that

917
01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:34.400
I'm packing into this one, so you might need to watch it more than once.

918
01:11:34.400 --> 01:11:38.280
And so I'm choosing to do this instead of divide, since we're already on a roll

919
01:11:38.280 --> 01:11:44.760
here. I'm gonna wrap up with this. Instead of dividing it into another video, I'm

920
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:50.840
trying to remember if I've talked about this at all. I'm not sure. And that is how to

921
01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:54.840
move between one realm and the next. So I already talked about the fact that we

922
01:11:54.840 --> 01:11:59.920
need to, it's based off of our belief of how good God is. So our belief of his

923
01:11:59.920 --> 01:12:05.040
character. Is God this good? Do we believe he's this good? Or do we believe

924
01:12:05.040 --> 01:12:09.360
he's this good? According to how good we believe that he is, that is the realm in

925
01:12:09.360 --> 01:12:15.040
which we choose to, that we're choosing to operate. So how do we do that? We've

926
01:12:15.040 --> 01:12:19.560
already been talking a bit about it as far as, you know, when people have been

927
01:12:19.560 --> 01:12:24.760
asking, okay, so how do I not strive? How do I enter rest without striving to

928
01:12:24.760 --> 01:12:31.200
enter rest? So we release, right? Because what is it? We're in a state of

929
01:12:31.200 --> 01:12:36.160
resistance. That is what the soul and the body, that's what this whole section

930
01:12:36.160 --> 01:12:42.000
right here is. We are in a state of resistance. That's the flesh resists

931
01:12:42.000 --> 01:12:46.400
against the Spirit. Remember that it talks about them in Scripture? It says

932
01:12:46.400 --> 01:12:53.480
the flesh resists against the Spirit. And so it's in resistance, meaning, which is

933
01:12:53.480 --> 01:12:57.280
really surprising to all of us to learn because we don't feel like we're in a

934
01:12:57.280 --> 01:13:01.080
state of resistance. Especially if we want to do the will of the Lord. Yeah, if

935
01:13:01.080 --> 01:13:05.080
we're in rebellion, well then yes, we understand, oh yeah, that's resistance. But

936
01:13:05.080 --> 01:13:09.200
we don't realize how we're resisting when we think, no, I'm waiting on him. I'm

937
01:13:09.200 --> 01:13:13.240
wanting it. I'm whatever. And we talked about that before where we talked about

938
01:13:13.240 --> 01:13:18.920
the fact that we're, think of it kind of like a container where God is trying

939
01:13:18.920 --> 01:13:22.920
to give us things and God's already sent us the gifts that we asked for, but we,

940
01:13:22.920 --> 01:13:27.720
but we're resisting. In other words, it's not pushing away. If you look up in the

941
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:34.760
dictionary, the first definition of resistance means to not allow.

942
01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:39.520
We're not allowing it to come in. Why? Because we already have it filled with a

943
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:44.640
foreign object. That's what this whole area is here. Where if we're relying on

944
01:13:44.640 --> 01:13:50.960
this as our source, it is actually, we're using these things to fill our container.

945
01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:56.880
God's like, no, no, no. These are tools for you to use, understanding that I am

946
01:13:56.880 --> 01:14:02.040
your source and these things are meant to serve you. But if instead, if

947
01:14:02.040 --> 01:14:07.560
we fill our container, that it was not meant to hold these things. And if we

948
01:14:07.560 --> 01:14:11.200
fill our container with these things, then we can't receive the things of the

949
01:14:11.200 --> 01:14:16.000
Spirit. So that's the resistance. It means that we're not allowing. So what do we do

950
01:14:16.320 --> 01:14:21.320
in order to let things out of that container, in order to stop

951
01:14:21.320 --> 01:14:27.760
resisting? Release. That's what this area is here. That is what this veil is.

952
01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:36.920
Remember that veil area? So it's release. That's all we're doing. You just let go.

953
01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:45.800
You stop. All of this is trying. This is you stop. Just stop. It's so nice. That's all you have to do.

954
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:52.000
You just stop. And then up here, and once you release, you effortlessly float here.

955
01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:55.960
It takes a lot of work for us to have pulled ourselves down. Why? Because we're

956
01:14:55.960 --> 01:15:01.920
naturally buoyant. We naturally operate out of this place.

957
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:06.160
is our nature. We do not have to fight to attain to it. We don't have to release things and then

958
01:15:06.160 --> 01:15:11.760
try to work ourselves up here. No, no, no. It will naturally happen just like as soon as you release

959
01:15:11.760 --> 01:15:17.120
the, uh, the hindrances of your body that your body is experiencing to being able to heal itself.

960
01:15:17.120 --> 01:15:22.240
As soon as you release the hindrances, you don't have to try to heal the body. Body's like, hey,

961
01:15:22.240 --> 01:15:27.200
I got this covered. Nobody can heal me better than me. And it just takes over because it's

962
01:15:27.200 --> 01:15:32.080
its nature. It's following its natural processes. You don't have to force it to do something.

963
01:15:32.080 --> 01:15:37.680
You just have to get the hindrances out of the way of, uh, that are disallowing nature to take

964
01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:42.400
its course. So as soon as you release nature takes its course and you naturally operate out

965
01:15:42.400 --> 01:15:48.080
of the spirit. You don't have to try to operate out of the spirit. You naturally will. You do.

966
01:15:48.080 --> 01:15:54.160
All you have to do though is to release our dependence on all of these other things that

967
01:15:54.160 --> 01:16:00.240
we think will help us attain to this. We think God wants me to have love, joy, peace, patience,

968
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:07.760
kindness. I better work on having love, joy, peace, patience, kindness. No, no, no, no, no, no. Stop

969
01:16:07.760 --> 01:16:15.680
trying. Just release all of those things and then you'll enter rest, which is a state of receiving.

970
01:16:17.520 --> 01:16:23.520
We effortlessly receive everything from here. So this is constantly operating. Let me write

971
01:16:23.520 --> 01:16:31.040
this over here. Constantly operating in a state of resistance. This is living in a state

972
01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:38.720
of resistance. This is exhausting. I'm sorry. I don't know if you can see all this. I apologize.

973
01:16:38.720 --> 01:16:42.880
I know that I'm trying to like see me and the word in it. Um, so hopefully y'all can see everything

974
01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:48.320
you need to and I'm pointing to it. So this is, this is living in a state of resistance.

975
01:16:48.320 --> 01:16:54.560
All we do is, you know, the veil, we release. By the way, that's what death is. Death is not

976
01:16:54.560 --> 01:17:03.200
frightening. Death is release. It's letting go. It's dying to self. That's why it hurts.

977
01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:08.080
We gotta let it go. There's a reason why we're wanting to hang on to it. We like it.

978
01:17:08.080 --> 01:17:14.160
When I hang on to it, we think that it is the means to an end of being, of protecting ourselves,

979
01:17:14.160 --> 01:17:19.440
providing for ourselves, determining that and ensuring ourselves the safety that we can get,

980
01:17:19.440 --> 01:17:25.680
that we can get a desired outcome for sure. Following a formula, we know we can rely on it,

981
01:17:25.680 --> 01:17:33.120
that we're going to get a particular result. Release is death. That's all it is. Death is not

982
01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:40.240
scary. It's just releasing. Why? Because God conquered death. Jesus conquered death. There's,

983
01:17:40.320 --> 01:17:46.720
the reason why death is scary, we think that there is something, we believe that

984
01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:52.000
there's lack on the other side, that there's nothingness on the other side, but it says,

985
01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:58.320
death wears your sting. God took it out. There's nothing bad about death anymore. The only thing

986
01:17:58.320 --> 01:18:01.520
about death, and by the way, when I'm talking about death, I'm not talking about physical death. I'm

987
01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:05.760
talking about like spiritual death that we go through where it's kind of like, oh, we have to

988
01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:12.800
let something go. That's all that death is. God actually removed the sting of death.

989
01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:19.520
It's no big deal. It is no big deal. In fact, it doesn't even warrant us even

990
01:18:20.480 --> 01:18:27.840
thinking in terms of death. So what God is moving me into is learning how more and more to not even

991
01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:35.920
acknowledge death. But in the meantime, in the meantime, we can understand that death is simply

992
01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:43.760
the veil through which we pass into life. Pass from this state into life. The way you get from

993
01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:51.040
here to here is through, is through our old paradigm of understanding that was used in the

994
01:18:51.040 --> 01:18:58.320
Old Testament as the word death, spiritual death, whatever. All that that means is it's release.

995
01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:05.600
That's why death feels so painful. I got to let it go. It's really not that hard. You just let it go

996
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:12.720
and then release. And then you get, when I say it's hard, meaning it's not difficult. It's not,

997
01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:18.800
it does not take effort is my point. Now, it doesn't mean that it's fun.

998
01:19:20.240 --> 01:19:25.040
So don't take my word of like difficult. It's like, oh, well, it's not, it's not difficult and

999
01:19:25.040 --> 01:19:29.200
it's really easy. You know, as if, oh, well, you know, we all know that there's a reason why we're

1000
01:19:29.200 --> 01:19:32.560
hanging on to things and even though we should let them go, we're not letting them go.

1001
01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:40.480
So I'm not discrediting that. I'm saying that it's actually effortless to do so. It does not require

1002
01:19:41.200 --> 01:19:50.160
work to pass from death into life, spiritual death into spiritual life. So yes, death is the veil to

1003
01:19:50.160 --> 01:19:58.560
the spirit. Yes, correct. So anyway, I just wanted to mention that because now that we're talking

1004
01:19:58.560 --> 01:19:59.920
about these realms, I wanted to let

1005
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.400
everyone know when we've been talking about resistance and that you need to

1006
01:20:04.400 --> 01:20:11.360
release in order to move into rest this is that this is the the visual this is

1007
01:20:11.360 --> 01:20:14.400
living in a state of resistance where we're relying on these things as our

1008
01:20:14.400 --> 01:20:20.040
source tree of the knowledge of good and evil so we have to we have to release

1009
01:20:20.040 --> 01:20:24.440
all of this that is causing the resistance just have to release it and

1010
01:20:24.440 --> 01:20:30.960
simply by releasing we naturally float up to our to operate according to our

1011
01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:38.040
nature our nature not something new it's our nature sorry I'm really trying to

1012
01:20:38.040 --> 01:20:43.040
figure out how to get in there there we go not something new it's our nature and

1013
01:20:43.040 --> 01:20:50.160
it's arrest and we can just receive in that place so and that is how God

1014
01:20:50.160 --> 01:20:55.440
provides for me financially it's how he provides for me and so many are

1015
01:20:55.440 --> 01:21:03.360
relationally I'm trying to think of what other so obviously business I'm trying

1016
01:21:03.360 --> 01:21:08.480
to think of what other areas you know I don't know what my health and I'm

1017
01:21:08.480 --> 01:21:12.520
learning how to operate in greater and greater measures of arrest understand

1018
01:21:12.520 --> 01:21:15.440
because I'll attain to a particular measure that I'll have I have attained

1019
01:21:15.440 --> 01:21:20.520
to a particular measure of belief I believe God is is X good I believe he's

1020
01:21:20.520 --> 01:21:25.520
this good but then I don't realize that I'm still limiting him until God will

1021
01:21:25.520 --> 01:21:30.880
take me through something else and like oh wow I need to make him this good I

1022
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:35.200
didn't believe that I didn't realize that I wasn't believing that he was this

1023
01:21:35.200 --> 01:21:39.800
good and then God made me into something else he's like no Ashley I'm this good

1024
01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:43.040
I'm like oh wow here we go you know so I'm like stretching so I'm still

1025
01:21:43.040 --> 01:21:47.120
stretching and I'm still learning but I'm learning to how to operate more and

1026
01:21:47.120 --> 01:21:52.040
more and in rest so once we get once we learn to operate in rest God will

1027
01:21:52.040 --> 01:21:56.760
continue to widen and broaden our tent so here I would say time 18 to just go

1028
01:21:56.760 --> 01:22:02.920
let it go and move on if I needed to hear it too wait to just let it go to

1029
01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:07.440
just let it go and move on oops I needed to hear it too oh that yeah yeah I know

1030
01:22:07.440 --> 01:22:10.440
I'm sorry it took me a while to figure out what are you saying you were saying

1031
01:22:10.440 --> 01:22:13.280
that you were telling her but you weren't taking your own advice yes just

1032
01:22:13.280 --> 01:22:21.000
remember just just stop that that we are people think that people are naturally

1033
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:27.200
bad we're not naturally bad God does not create bad things for naturally very

1034
01:22:27.200 --> 01:22:32.600
good and if we focus on the positive and if we show people how big God's garden

1035
01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:36.800
is and that it's only one tree that God said not to eat from and that we can eat

1036
01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:44.480
from all of the others then people naturally want in and it's at their very

1037
01:22:44.480 --> 01:22:50.400
nature it's at their very essence to do the right thing even children even

1038
01:22:50.400 --> 01:22:54.520
children it is that their very nature and their very essence to do the right

1039
01:22:54.520 --> 01:23:01.520
thing but they they begin to have all of these lies filtered on like I'm not safe

1040
01:23:01.560 --> 01:23:08.440
I'm not protected I have to do it for myself and and what was I gonna show you

1041
01:23:08.440 --> 01:23:14.440
that's about to show you one more thing shoot I don't remember what it was got

1042
01:23:14.440 --> 01:23:23.320
to talking about that the spirit oh I don't remember but um a little

1043
01:23:23.320 --> 01:23:27.880
bothering that's how you about to say I've no idea but anyway I'll just I'll

1044
01:23:27.880 --> 01:23:33.120
just leave it there and that is plenty to chew on you might need to go back in

1045
01:23:33.120 --> 01:23:38.840
and watch it a few times and just kind of just because I packed so much in

1046
01:23:38.840 --> 01:23:46.800
there but hopefully that is helpful and there's even more to say about it than I

1047
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:51.720
have so I'm not going to be surprised if y'all have all kinds of questions like

1048
01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:54.760
well what about this you know just like Carrie asked about sewing and reaping

1049
01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:58.960
well where does that fit in you know I explained about health but I don't know

1050
01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:03.040
y'all might have and further questions about all of that and oh well I didn't

1051
01:24:03.040 --> 01:24:06.480
tell you what what health is in the hundredfold did I so health in the

1052
01:24:06.480 --> 01:24:12.400
hundredfold is not only that I am healed because remember I'm complete so

1053
01:24:12.400 --> 01:24:15.760
anything that is said of Christ can be said of us and anything that is not

1054
01:24:15.760 --> 01:24:20.440
cannot be said of Christ cannot be said of us and Christ isn't sick so we're not

1055
01:24:20.440 --> 01:24:26.880
sick the problem is our body isn't manifesting it so the body gets

1056
01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:31.840
instructions from the soul and the soul determines whether or not it will allow

1057
01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:35.760
itself to receive instruction from the spirit if it allows itself to receive

1058
01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:40.120
instruction from the spirit then it will change the it will take on that

1059
01:24:40.120 --> 01:24:46.680
instruction it will submit to the spirit by acknowledging that this spirit is the

1060
01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:51.800
right truth and that it should that that we're one with Christ we should

1061
01:24:51.800 --> 01:24:57.960
operate out of it and then by acknowledging that that the spirit knows

1062
01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:01.920
all things that we're already in the spirit

1063
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:06.840
then that allows the spirit to come down, manifest in the soul, and by

1064
01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:12.560
manifesting in the soul, which is changing our emotions, our mind, all of

1065
01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:19.600
that good stuff. By doing that, our mind and our emotions, especially really our

1066
01:25:19.600 --> 01:25:24.360
mind, our mind is what tells our body what to do, even if we're not conscious

1067
01:25:24.360 --> 01:25:30.640
of it. What it is that we believe in the soul manifests in the body. If we're

1068
01:25:30.640 --> 01:25:36.960
traumatized in the soul, if we're hurt in the soul, if we've been abused, it will

1069
01:25:36.960 --> 01:25:43.520
manifest. If we feel afraid, if we're terribly fearful, it will

1070
01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:50.840
manifest as sickness in the body. That is what sickness is. Yes, there's

1071
01:25:50.840 --> 01:25:55.040
such things as viruses, etc., but the reason that a virus doesn't die

1072
01:25:55.040 --> 01:25:59.840
immediately when it's in the body and that the body will absorb it and that

1073
01:25:59.840 --> 01:26:06.080
the body will act on it is because it is operating according to the belief of

1074
01:26:06.080 --> 01:26:11.560
whatever it is the soul says. If the soul believes that it's victim to viruses and

1075
01:26:11.560 --> 01:26:16.160
that it's not already healed, then the virus won't die when it hits the body

1076
01:26:16.160 --> 01:26:21.520
and it will manifest as the flu or it'll manifest in whatever. I have one

1077
01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:25.880
of the biggest things that people deal with is, oh Steph, you were

1078
01:26:25.880 --> 01:26:32.800
talking about this. You posted on the other day about the rash. Stress. Stress

1079
01:26:32.800 --> 01:26:37.880
is something in the soul that will manifest in the body. The body gets

1080
01:26:37.880 --> 01:26:43.160
its instruction from the soul, so if there's emotional issues in the soul, the

1081
01:26:43.160 --> 01:26:49.280
body responds physically. It is the visible

1082
01:26:49.280 --> 01:26:54.440
manifestation of invisible realms.

1083
01:26:54.440 --> 01:27:00.000
What was I going to say? Oh, the gut health. I struggled a tremendous amount

1084
01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:05.360
with gut health. Thankfully, I'm young living. See, my faith

1085
01:27:05.360 --> 01:27:11.720
wasn't here. My faith was down here. I took advantage of earthly things, earthly

1086
01:27:11.720 --> 01:27:15.960
essential oils, earthly knowledge, because this is where my faith was at.

1087
01:27:15.960 --> 01:27:22.160
There's nothing wrong with that. This is where my faith was at. I thought, I

1088
01:27:22.160 --> 01:27:26.080
believe that these herbs will heal me. I believe that these essential oils will

1089
01:27:26.080 --> 01:27:30.640
heal me. I believe in all of that. I have an earthly body. It needs

1090
01:27:30.640 --> 01:27:37.120
earthly things to help it. That's where my faith was at and it did. It has

1091
01:27:37.120 --> 01:27:41.240
healed me tremendously in my gut health. I'm still working on it, but it healed me

1092
01:27:41.240 --> 01:27:45.680
of at least three-quarters of the problem. The Lord told me that it had

1093
01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:49.480
even turned back the tide of cancer. He said that I was on the road to cancer

1094
01:27:49.480 --> 01:27:53.120
and he told me, he said, Ashley, you really do have to get on this ASAP. He said,

1095
01:27:53.120 --> 01:27:58.920
because the doctors haven't found that you are that close. Terrified the living

1096
01:27:58.920 --> 01:28:05.560
daylights out of me. I called Cheryl Flair that I keep

1097
01:28:05.560 --> 01:28:09.920
mentioning, one of my friends. I called her and I was like, look, I need

1098
01:28:09.920 --> 01:28:14.960
to get on this stuff right away. Then the Lord healed me of that. I used

1099
01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:21.320
this system, but how did I get this problem in the first place? I had a lot

1100
01:28:21.320 --> 01:28:27.760
of... I believed that I was not lovable, that I wasn't likable, and that I could

1101
01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:34.040
not expect to be comforted. That was my issue. I had a very strong desire

1102
01:28:34.080 --> 01:28:40.680
to control my outcome and to control my world. A lot of... when we desire to control

1103
01:28:40.680 --> 01:28:48.200
things, it usually messes with our gastrointestinal system. That is... it

1104
01:28:48.200 --> 01:28:53.560
can manifest in various things in the body, but there's been... but so often

1105
01:28:53.560 --> 01:28:58.840
there's... it will actually choose to manifest. It usually chooses to manifest

1106
01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:06.400
in bad gut health and it throws the gut health off. The body is just visibly... it is just

1107
01:29:06.400 --> 01:29:10.840
physically manifesting things that are happening in the invisible realm. Just

1108
01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:19.960
like we as man were created to visibly manifest an invisible God, God gave

1109
01:29:19.960 --> 01:29:25.600
us a type and shadow in our own bodies. If there is an issue that our

1110
01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:30.720
bodies are supposed to manifest who we are physically... who we are in the spirit,

1111
01:29:30.720 --> 01:29:34.000
if we're fully healed in the spirit, our body is supposed to manifest that we're

1112
01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:38.120
fully healed. Why is our body not manifesting that we're fully healed?

1113
01:29:38.120 --> 01:29:43.560
Because we don't believe it. We don't believe that we're here. We don't believe

1114
01:29:43.560 --> 01:29:49.160
that God is who he says that he is. And we... or we believe that he is in

1115
01:29:49.160 --> 01:29:54.240
finances, but we don't believe that he is in health. And so our body takes that

1116
01:29:54.240 --> 01:30:01.960
instruction and makes what it is that we believe in the invisible... it makes it visible.

1117
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:08.320
What it believes is in the invisible. It makes it visible. I don't believe I'm healed. I don't

1118
01:30:08.320 --> 01:30:14.080
believe I'm here. Therefore, the body's like, oh, I guess we're not, I guess we're not well. I guess

1119
01:30:14.080 --> 01:30:21.120
we're sick. And it'll manifest like that. So we can, we can form. It's by our words that we form

1120
01:30:21.120 --> 01:30:25.520
our own world. Even the non-believers know this. So a lot of this, you know, you'll hear in a lot

1121
01:30:25.520 --> 01:30:31.440
of new age teaching. Oh, I mentioned this. And so just, just as a FYI, you know, that Satan's not

1122
01:30:31.440 --> 01:30:36.640
powerful enough to come up with all of these things. Like, like, cause Satan cannot create

1123
01:30:36.640 --> 01:30:43.840
spiritual principles by the way. So only God can. So, um, uh, he can corrupt them, however. So God

1124
01:30:43.840 --> 01:30:47.440
is the one who came up with the original ideas for things, things such as, I don't know that we

1125
01:30:47.440 --> 01:30:53.840
hear about in like new age ideas or voodoo or like really creepy things. So my medical charts

1126
01:30:53.920 --> 01:31:01.120
stress and IVS. Yeah, yeah, I know. Uh, it, our bodies will manifest because our soul is,

1127
01:31:01.120 --> 01:31:05.920
is giving it that blueprint of what to carry out. The body's like, I need instruction. The soul's

1128
01:31:05.920 --> 01:31:10.480
like, here's instruction. Here's what I believe. So this is what we need to manifest. The body

1129
01:31:10.480 --> 01:31:19.040
manifests what it is that the soul is believing. Um, um, so, so anyway, but I wanted to mention

1130
01:31:19.040 --> 01:31:25.280
about the thing like, you know, like voodoo, black magic, uh, uh, uh, like a new age stuff,

1131
01:31:25.280 --> 01:31:32.720
you know, things like that. We need to understand all of those things are Satan's counterfeits

1132
01:31:33.520 --> 01:31:41.600
of things that God created. So in other words, that's the dark, twisted, corrupted version

1133
01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:48.480
of a power that God created that is out there somewhere that's actually good. And that we are

1134
01:31:48.560 --> 01:31:57.440
in that he intended us to use and operate in, oops, this one right here, spiritual principles

1135
01:31:57.440 --> 01:32:02.880
and spiritual laws. There's a, there's a lot of them that we have, uh, that, uh, Satan

1136
01:32:03.920 --> 01:32:07.920
took and correct, created a corrupted version. And now we want nothing to do with it. Thinking,

1137
01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:12.000
throwing the baby out with the bath water, thinking the whole thing must be bad.

1138
01:32:12.960 --> 01:32:18.800
It's not, it's just that it has that the only version that we're used to seeing is the corrupted

1139
01:32:18.800 --> 01:32:27.920
black, dark, diabolical, demonic version. So, um, I just, I mentioned that in, uh, to,

1140
01:32:27.920 --> 01:32:32.240
so that we can understand that a lot of some of what I'm talking about, about the whole thing of

1141
01:32:32.240 --> 01:32:37.680
like, you know, we form our words, we form our world by our words. We're used to hearing new

1142
01:32:37.760 --> 01:32:43.040
wagers say that. Right. And so I just wanted to clarify, this is not a new age teaching.

1143
01:32:44.160 --> 01:32:48.640
This is, this is understanding that our God is the one who created the universe.

1144
01:32:49.280 --> 01:32:54.960
Satan is not powerful to create these, these types of principles, but he is powerful enough

1145
01:32:56.880 --> 01:33:01.440
in this realm. Cause remember he operates in this realm. He's under our feet. He's in the

1146
01:33:01.440 --> 01:33:08.400
second heaven. And, um, and he is powerful enough to take something that pre-existed

1147
01:33:08.400 --> 01:33:14.400
and twist it and corrupt it. And that we want to stay as far away from as we can. That has

1148
01:33:15.120 --> 01:33:23.280
nothing to do with the Lord anymore, but just know that, uh, that our God is very powerful

1149
01:33:23.280 --> 01:33:28.400
and has tremendous authority and desires for us to operate in that. He, and he created all

1150
01:33:28.400 --> 01:33:39.760
those spiritual principles for us to use and govern as sons of God that they serve us. We

1151
01:33:39.760 --> 01:33:46.480
don't need them. We govern them. We govern spiritual principles. We govern all of creation,

1152
01:33:46.480 --> 01:33:53.280
including spiritual principles. And some of these spiritual principles are extremely powerful. Case

1153
01:33:53.280 --> 01:34:00.560
in point, we form our world by our words. Our physical body manifests what it is that we believe

1154
01:34:01.840 --> 01:34:07.920
about who we are and who God is in the invisible realm. And the soul is what determines that. The

1155
01:34:07.920 --> 01:34:11.440
soul is the gateway that determines what it is that the body is going to manifest,

1156
01:34:11.440 --> 01:34:15.680
what it is that we do and don't believe. And the body's along for the ride. He's like,

1157
01:34:15.680 --> 01:34:20.800
Hey, I'm here to receive instruction. What are we going to do? I'll make it visible. Whatever it is

1158
01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:26.560
that you believe, I'm just here to make it visible. So our body is not our enemy. Our body

1159
01:34:26.560 --> 01:34:32.640
is looking for a Lord. It is looking for a King to tell it what to do, to tell it how to stand in

1160
01:34:32.640 --> 01:34:42.960
its place, to identify it for itself so that it cannot feel like it is abandoned and alone to

1161
01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:50.000
survive and to try to keep us alive. It's the opposite. We need to take care of it.

1162
01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:57.280
We need to tell it what to do or who it is and tell it how to operate so that it can then serve

1163
01:34:57.280 --> 01:34:59.840
us effortlessly. That's how it was created.

1164
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:04.520
Now it's opening up another bigger discussion, so I think I keep opening big

1165
01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:11.600
discussions. Hopefully I answered more questions than created questions, but

1166
01:35:11.600 --> 01:35:16.600
I've loved hanging out with y'all tonight and feel free to either put

1167
01:35:16.600 --> 01:35:23.280
comments below as always or, you know, post them. Oh, we are gonna have a Q&A.

1168
01:35:23.280 --> 01:35:27.520
What is today? Today's Wednesday. We're gonna have a Q&A tomorrow night, so

1169
01:35:27.520 --> 01:35:31.000
hopefully everyone will get a chance to watch these two videos last night and

1170
01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:36.560
tonight because I know they were very heavy and come with

1171
01:35:36.560 --> 01:35:40.480
questions. So anyway, I look forward to seeing y'all tomorrow and y'all have a

1172
01:35:40.480 --> 01:35:43.320
good night. Bye!
