Hey everybody! All right so now that I know how to flip the camera I have
restarted the live. So Steph went on this journey with me where I had to Google in
a real time how to flip the camera on a live. So now I've learned something. Hey
Steph! Okay so we're back. All right so now we're cooking with gas. All
right that's a good southern phrase right? Okay so we've got spirit, soul, and
body down here. So these are the three realms. Now the way that Jesus
refers to these various ways in which we can operate and still be in the
kingdom. So in other words, all of these realms that we can operate in are all
for believers. We're not talking about, hey Steph, good, excellent, and these
are all for believers to operate in. So we're not talking about where
unbelievers sit. This is all within the realm of believing, you know, being a
believer, believing in Jesus Christ, going to heaven, how on it how it is that we're
living on earth, and where it is that we're pulling our resource from. Now you
remember that in in the story about the farmer sowing seed, how it talked about
the farmer sowing seed among, you know, on the hard ground and then the
birds came and ate it because it didn't sink into the ground and so
the birds came along and ate it. Then there were others that the other seed,
because the farmer, understand, is just scattering the seed. He's just scattering
it. So it's landing all over the place. He's not being very careful. He's
spreading the good news anywhere, anywhere it lands, and so it depends on
the soil as to whether or not it is received. We're the soil. God says that
our hearts are the soil, so the seed, you know, the gospel, the good news of Jesus
Christ, that's being scattered all over the place, all over the place, but it's
this, it's the soil that chooses to receive that news, receive it and believe
it as to as to what ends up happening. So how it ends up responding to the seed.
So some of the seed fell on hard ground. The birds came in and ate it.
Then other fell on shallow ground and it just went only so deep, but it didn't
have enough sustenance in order to get a real good root, and so it died.
And then others fell among thorns that choked out the life of the seed, but then
there is, there was seed that fell on really good ground. So the seed that fell
on good ground that received it deep is to receive the seed deep into itself
that allowed it to reap a result because it's literally impossible to have Christ
in this and not reap like anything. You're gonna reap something, right? You're
gonna go to heaven, for instance, for one thing. And he said that of that seed that
fell on good ground, that it responded by producing 30-fold, 60-fold, and circle
that so you can see it, or a hundred-fold return, a hundred-fold increase. So I
don't know if y'all that have ever noticed that, but at the end of the
passage when it talked about the good soil, it said that this, even
though it was good soil, it all bore different folds. Some 30-fold, which is
very different. It's only a third of the hundred-fold. So some 30-fold, some 60-fold,
and some 100-fold because it depends on how the soil, on the type of the
richness of the soil, and how the soil chooses to respond to the seed as to how
much return or how much fold is gotten at the end. In other words, it's how we
choose to operate. It's what we choose to do with that seed that determines
what kind of an increase that we get. In other words, what realm that
we're operating out of. So that's where in Scripture that it talks about, you
know, the fact that there's like three different ways that we can operate in
the world and operate in life and get different results. So body, soul, and
spirit. There's so much that the Lord does in dividing things into three.
There's the Trinity Himself, you know, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit. He divides us into three parts.
It says that we're a triune being because we were made to be the picture and image of the Lord,
and so we are also spirit, soul, and body, and there's three different ways in which we can
operate. Another thing that I wanted to mention is another picture of what is going on here with
the spirit, soul, and body and the fact that we can operate out of the spirit realm, which is the
invisible realm. So let's write some of these. So let's write this up here. So invisible,
I don't know if you hopefully you can see this because there's going to be a lot that I'm going
to be writing. This one's invisible, which also happens to be the unseen. I'm trying to think
here. Yeah. Yes. Sorry. This is the scene. This is the scene. Uncreated. You can actually see
into the spirit realm, but we won't be talking about that tonight, but seen, uncreated,
and of course the soul is the metaphysical realm. So it's kind of like the bridge.
Metaphysical, but it is unseen,
unseen, but it's created. So this realm, anything in this realm, anything that exists in this realm
is unseen. We can't see it, but it's created, and then anything that exists in this realm,
the body realm, that's the physical or, whoops, physical, anything of the physical,
physical or anything. In other words, it's the visible realm, and this is the scene created.
So this realm was not created. It's uncreated because remember it came of the essence of God.
So this is uncreated, but we can actually see into the spirit realm. You remember
in the Bible, it talks about seeing with your spiritual eyes because you can see into the
spirit realm. Now in the soul, it's metaphysical. You can't see anything. You can't see your soul.
You can't see into the unseen realm, and it is created though. So this is actually something
that God created. Anything that exists in this realm, and it's more than just our soul,
this is created. So then there's the body, which is the physical realm, visible. This is all,
this is both seen and created, and unfortunately, this is where we spend the majority of our focus
because it's both seen because we can see it's seen and it's created, and so it ends up taking
up a lot of our focus and a lot of our attention. So there's that. Now remember though that we were
put on earth. We were created. Let me back up. We were created to have fellowship with God,
but we were put on earth in order to make the invisible God visible.
So we're supposed to manifest the things of the spirit into the physical realm. We're supposed
to manifest things in heaven down into the earth. So that's why these three realms are really
important. The gateway is the soul. The soul is what allows the things of the spirit to manifest
into the physical realm because the soul is the one that is the decision maker.
It's the gateway. It's the decision maker. It's the one that decides, okay, we're going to submit
to the soul, and we're going to allow the soul to flow down from the spirit down into the body
so that things can manifest visibly in the physical realm that are actually already
existing in heaven, which we'll get into all of that. But I wanted to mention just really quick
that another way to think about this is remember that God is invisible. Jesus was the gateway.
He was the way that allowed for God to be made visible, and then man's
responsibility is to make God visible. God is supposed to be visible within us. When someone
looks at us, they're supposed to be able to see God visibly. In other words, what God actually
looks like in how I talk and in what I say, in just the spirit that's flowing
out of me, how people feel peace when they're around me or whatever it is, that's how we're...
supposed to be and it is making and Jesus is is the bridge. He is what
allowed there to be a connection again between God and man. So making the
invisible manifest into the visible. I wanted to point that out but I'm gonna
erase that really quick. So this is the three rounds that we're talking about
and so we can all we can choose to operate from this perspective, from this
one or from this one. It's in our and and the way that we choose what
determines whether we operate from here, from here, or from here is determined by
what we believe. That's it. Our belief is what it's what
allows us to traverse from here to then operating out of here and then if we
believe if we believe what the Lord says well then we start operating in out of
here out of the Spirit. So there is also, let me draw that in a different color so
it's a little more clear, there's something in between the Spirit and the
soul. This line here and that you can think of was talked about in Scripture
and symbolized in Scripture as the veil that separated the holy place from the
holy of holies because remember you had the the outer court and then or that you
know the court and then the courtyard then you had especially in the
tabernacle you know you just had the the one courtyard. Now in the temple you had
the outer court and then the inner court you know because one was the Gentile
court and then and then the Gentiles weren't allowed any further and all of
that but when we were talking about the tabernacle the very first tent that that
was created in order to house the Lord there was the there was the court
outside you know where the brazen altar was and then the the the brass basin you
know the great seat and then there was the holy place which held of course the
table of shoe bread and the altar of incense and the candelabra and and all
of that and then you have the veil and then you have the holy of holies where
the Ark of the Covenant was which has the presence of God so again you see you
see that where God was again talking giving us the picture of three separate
realms that we could operate out of and how we can move from one to the other so
what it mean what we had to do back in the Old Testament is we had to move from
the outside in but what God intended always for us to do and which is what he
did when when Jesus Christ died on the cross remember that the veil tore in
half and finally allowed everything that I was that was of this in the spirit to
then flow out into the earth which is how God always intended it to be because
remember God wants to be the life source that everything else depends on
everything else does depend on it but he wants us to actually believe it and
operate from the place that he's the life source which and simply by
believing it allows means that we're that we're allowing the things of the
spirit to manifest down into the visible realm down into our businesses
out into our relationships out into our finances because God is the life source
so the reason why I drew the veil up here is and so you see that there's
three different sections but actually this one right here think about how I
want to draw this right here this both of these two are actually carnal you
remember when God talks about I hope I can write this and see y'all can see it
but it's carnal remember when Paul talks about carnal Christians and that he's
talking about people that are operating in this in these one of these realms so
in other words carnal means it's of the flesh this is is operating according to
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil both of them not just one of them
both of them remember there are two trees and yet there are three realms
because even and I mentioned this at the end of the live last night that that
there's actually you would think that well because it's just one tree the
knowledge of good and evil that there's only that there's only one but that
there's only one realm but actually there's two different realms within it
two different modes of of operating
Operation that we can choose to operate out of and that is essentially of the soul or sorry of the body
Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly
as a body or out of the soul
and
So anyway
This is really really important to understand the majority of us have lived our whole lives
In the according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil where we work really hard
but you see here that
We can live and operate out of this realm or we can live and operate out of that realm and both of them judge
each other
But the funny thing is they're both operating out of the flesh
Anyway, and what happens when you operate out of the flesh?
What happens when you operate out of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in other words?
You're choosing to provide for and protect yourself. You think you are outside the curtain and
You're trying to get back in so you have to do things
To try to get back in you think that you're outside
The garden and you're trying to get back in by doing the same things
That you that Adam and Eve did that got them kicked out
so remember this is the veil but
It's been removed
because when Christ died
The veil ripped in two
To symbolize and to signify to everyone so that they would finally understand look
that four inch thick veil tore in half of
Its own volition which is obviously, you know the Lord, you know to prove to the people to prove to everyone to Bruce
Every to the priest everyone that everyone can see the ark
Everyone has access to God now, you no longer have to go through a through a high priest
You no longer have to go through a priest
You can go to God directly and it also allowed everything that was in the Ark of the Covenant
Everything that was of God to now flow out
so the way that we but
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
Believe that we still have access
if we don't believe that we have access anymore and
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
Still there, but you see how there's no veil there anymore
So it's all in our head
It's all in our imagination
that there's some barrier between us and the Lord that there's some barrier between
us being able to operate out of the spirit and our father being able to provide us good gifts and
protection and identity and all of that
We believe that there's still a barrier
That we've got to traverse this barrier somehow that there's something else that God is sorry
Make sure you can see this that God is still waiting on something in order to
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
There's no veil in the way anymore. That was Old Testament
For us we were never ever ever born
under a veil
Ever we have always had access to God
It was only in our heads that we thought that we didn't it is all
According to you believe by our belief we frame up our world. So some believe that God is only this good
So things things of the body, you know
People who operate out of the body believe that what it is that they do with their body what it is that they say
With the words that they you know, which hymns that they sing
Whether or not women can preach in church
All of that kind of thing anything of the body
by parts
covering the head
going to physical places to to worship the Lord and
Things of the physical because remember this is the visible physical realm the scene and created
We believe the people that that operate like this are the one are people that believe that anything of the physical
Create it has a meaning that would hinder or help us
to get up here to be one with Christ to receive his blessings to be good enough to
allow us to
Be looked on with love by the Lord
Whatever it is that we're wanting from him being provided for by him in in our businesses
Like I said feeling loved feeling comforted
That he that he won't abandon us all of that. We believe that people that act according to this
they believe in the power of
physical visible things to either help or hinder them
from getting to the Lord.
And then they judge everybody else by that same standard.
So now the good thing is,
remember these people are still Christians, the 30 fold.
They still reap a reward.
They still reap good things.
They're gonna get to go to heaven.
They think God is that good,
that he saved them and they're gonna get to go to heaven.
But what they don't believe is,
they don't believe that he's good enough
for them to be able to reap the benefits
of gaining their inheritance as sons
without them having to work for it,
do something for it.
And they do it out of this anything
in the visible, physical, created realm.
Now, these people that choose to operate out of this realm,
these are people that also believe
that there are things that are,
believe that this veil is still here,
that they're outside the veil,
that they're trying to get back in,
or that they're asking God to come down.
They're always praying for revival.
They pray a lot, Lord, please come,
please help, please provide.
They're praying for the things
that God says in scripture, we already have.
But they feel that they don't have it.
They're like Eve.
They feel that they're in a place of lack
and that there's something that they don't,
that they still don't have in their possession.
And they're trying to gain it for themselves.
They're trying to reach for it.
They believe God.
They talk a lot about stewardship.
Stewardship is not a bad word, understand.
Responsibility is not a bad word.
Those things are not, yeah, exactly.
That's how I was talking day one.
I know that 99.99999% of the fests were.
It's wild, isn't it?
I mean, this is like totally dismantling our paradigm.
And just, you know, completely giving us a brand new grid.
But yeah, so these people here,
they believe, you know, this is the unseen,
but yet it's the created.
So they love spiritual principles.
They love tools, things that can kind of help
leverage their soul and get them to believe things
and like push themselves up.
They believe a lot of the faith gospel stuff is in here.
Like where you believe if you have enough faith
and if you believe, I believe, I believe,
I believe, I believe, and if I believe hard enough,
then it means that God's going to give me something.
God is going to bring healing.
That God is going to bless my finances.
That God is going to, you know,
he's going to bless my business.
He is going to bless my relationship.
These, all these people are constantly praying for,
asking and asking for and waiting for things
that God already said in the Bible, you already have them.
The veil is torn.
There's already access.
Our problem is we think that the veil is still there
and we think we're moving from the ground up,
that there's something to which we have to attain
and it's not.
God says we're spirit, soul, and body.
God says, you're already here.
So operate from this place and everything else is below you.
If you choose to operate from this part of you,
then you have to move up and that's a lot of work,
a lot of work to go up.
It's effortless to have everything under your feet.
It's a lot of work to go upward.
And so it's like we keep like,
it's like we were praying things
and we're just trying to throw up our prayer
really, really, really, really high.
You know, being very loud about it.
Sometimes in certain charismatic churches, for instance,
which would be a lot of the 60 fold,
a lot of they believe in the power
of the gifts of the Holy Spirit
and they're trying to be very loud
and very demonstrative, very emotional.
They're trying to hype up their soul
because they believe that if they give it enough fuel,
enough, you know, power, then they can,
and if, you know, turbocharge,
the Lord's going to be pleased enough
and he's gonna realize they really want it.
And because they really want it,
because they've been banging on the door of heaven,
then I'm finally going to reward them
because they've asked long enough and hard enough
and we're passionate enough about it.
And so he, and then they fasted
for a certain number of days,
they've prayed certain decrees,
they prayed certain whatevers,
and then finally he's gonna drop it.
That's what these people believe
because they believe that that's how good God is,
which is a really good thing.
I suddenly feel like I've wasted so much time.
I know, I know.
This is.
But the good thing is that when we finally realize that how good
everything is, we just let it go and know we've already had it this whole time so
we can step into it. So it's not time wasted. We actually can step into
everything at this moment. We don't have to step into it later because remember
there's nothing else to work for. The whole wasting time thing is this idea
that I'm behind. I only have so much time to attain or to work towards. But if
you're already there, there's nothing else to do. You're already there. You
already have everything. Now you're a kid on a playground trying to
learn what it is that you have and where it is that you are in this huge house
that you never knew existed. And you didn't know you could live here.
And now that you're here, you're just running around the house finding the
swimming pool, finding out that you've got the biggest bedroom that's as big as
your old big house. And it's actually your room all to yourself. And it's
everything that you've ever wanted is in there. And that everybody loves you. And
and everything. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. That's what it's kind of like.
But yeah, that feeling of wasted time is operating down here. That
fear of missing out comes from these beliefs. Beliefs that we have carried
with us where we believe that there's a certain amount of time that we're
allotted and that we're behind. Or that we can miss something. And it's just
not true. Because up here, all we have to do is step into it and we
automatically have everything. We automatically have access to everything.
But yes, so here out of the soul, it is still operating believing
that there's something that we have to do. Something that we're still
outside of the veil and we're asking God to come down. God, come heal our land. God,
come bring revival. God, come rescue these poor sinners. God, come rescue me.
Rescue me from my attackers. I'm vulnerable. I'm this. And God's like,
you're no such thing. You're up here. Why do you think that you're a victim? You're
not a victim. Now, if we operate down here, we will receive what a victim would
receive. Because we've framed up our paradigm like that. We've declared that
who we are, who God is in relationship to us, that we're
separate from him. And therefore, the world will interact with us like that.
But if we understand that and our businesses will interact with us like
that, we have to work really hard for our business. Because we've declared that we
have to. We've declared that we haven't been given everything. We've declared
that we're the ones who have to work for our clients. All of that. But up here, if
we understand that we're actually already one with Christ, the veil
is torn. We already have access to Christ. We're in Christ. There's nothing above us
except for Christ who always has the preeminence. So we're really in Christ. He
was not above us. We're in Christ. So we're one with him. Remember
in Hebrews, it talked about the fact that we are not Hebrews. I think it's Galatians.
It talked about we are one seed. Paul talks about the fact that we are one
seed and repeats that. And says that Christ is Abraham's seed and that anyone
who is in Christ is also Abraham's seed. And Paul, remember, made it very
clear. He said, I did not say seeds plural. He said, I said seed as in singular. In
other words, we in Christ are one seed. So we're one seed with Christ. And it says
in, I believe it's in Hebrews, that God put everything under Christ's feet
except for God the Father. So literally, everything is under our feet,
including Satan, under our feet, not over, not up here, under our feet. Because Satan
operates out of this realm. He is under our feet. He's under Christ's feet.
Therefore, if we're one with Christ, then he's under our feet. Meaning, there is
therefore now no more spiritual warfare. All this stuff that we were fighting
against Satan was just a whole lot of work that we don't have to do. Because
we're the only ones in the universe that don't know we're here. Satan even knows
that we're here. What he uses against us is the fact that we don't believe we're
up here. And so it's like, oh I can take advantage of that. Because if they really
do believe that they're down here, well then I have power over them simply
because they believe I do. That is the only way that Satan has power over you,
is if you believe that he does. Because you are the only one in the universe
that believes that he has power over you. You are the only one.
in the universe that believes that you're here. Everyone else, all other
creatures, all other created beings, whether we're talking about like
heavenly beings, we're talking about even other created things like
flowers and rocks and trees, everything knows. Stars, everything knows you're here
except you. So even Satan does and he uses that to his advantage. Exactly, we do
not battle Satan every day. I don't even think about Satan anymore. I
just don't. That's wild for me because I used to live down here in
this realm and I battled Satan all the time. I thought he's my enemy and he
could sneak up on me. That's what I was always told. Sneak up on me. You got to be
careful. You know, the wiles of the devil. You know, you got to be
defensive all the time. That's how to protect yourself. Oh, that's hogwash. We're
up here. The only threat that Satan ever held to me is that I thought that he had
a threat. That he held a threat against me. That is the only threat. So if I
understand that I'm up here, I no longer have to battle him. So my spiritual
warfare, for lack of a better phrase, is very different now than it used to be.
Very, very, very different. So if y'all have questions about that, we can talk
about how to... I keep scooting that over... about when those doubts and
those fears come up and how to actually interact with that very differently than
constantly battling Satan. Who needs to pay him any attention anyway? So he's
not as powerful as we think he is. He's extremely powerful, but power is a
relative term. I mean, powerful as compared to what? I mean, power, you have to have
something to compare it to in order to be able to say that it's powerful. And
relative to us, he's not powerful at all. Now, sure, relative to this realm, he's
very powerful. But we're here, so he's not powerful at all. If we
believe that we're down here, then we believe that he's very powerful. And
he's down here as well. So remember that this is... remember that Paul talks
about the first, second, and third heaven? First, second, third heaven. Three different
realms to operate out of. First, second, third heaven. Physical earth, the
metaphysical realm, which is what... and then God refers to the fact that there's
second heaven and that Satan and his angels were kicked out of the
first... of the third heaven into the second heaven. And then, of course, we have
the third heaven where God is. So, let's see. I'm trying to think. There's... oh my word. You
would not believe how detailed that you can get into all of this, which is very
exciting. I'm trying to think what else to talk about. Okay. So, as far as... I guess
it's on my phone. I had some notes that I wanted to remind myself of. Okay. So, as
far as like moving from one to the other, I believe that there's more that we
can be talking about this, but this at least lays the foundation to be able to
bring this up in future discussions because I'll be able to say, okay, y'all
remember the three realms, spirit, soul, and body, and then I'll be able to add
more layers as we go along. But, so let me just wrap it up tonight with this and
talk about, you know, how to move from one realm into the other. We move from one
realm to the other based off of what it is that we believe. Do we believe that
we're here? Do we believe that we're here? Or do we believe that we're here? What
determines where we believe that we are? Our belief in the character of God. How
good do we think that God is? How loving do we think that he is? That is what
determines where we put ourselves. If we believe that he's in limited
goodness and limited love, as in, I am nothing. God hasn't completely
reconciled me to himself. Jesus only went so far and I have to go the rest of the
way. Jesus provided me with the opportunity, so I took him up on
the opportunity, but I still have to work the rest of the
way to get there. I have to work to my throne. I have to work to the place of
being seated in the heavenly realms. God said, no, you're already seated in the
heavenly realms. But we're saying, no, no, that's not true. God's not that good. Do
you see how God said something and we're saying, no, God, you're not that good. And
so we frame up our world down here and we have to live down here. Oh, also, let
me say this before I forget. Well, no, I think that that's going to just
distract. So let me write myself a little note down here that I need
to come back to that. Because Carrie had asked about...
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
Okay, so but the the soul now that in the soul remember that this operate that these people
love to operate according to
Learning it's more and more and more knowledge
Where is the good one? Let's just use this. They love
knowledge
Knowledge of spiritual things
This is knowledge
Of
earthly things
In other words physical things and this is knowledge
spiritual things
Hopefully you can see that I know it kind of like wrote that fast
So you notice what both of those ideas begin with the word knowledge?
Knowledge of good and evil in other words, we think that we have to know something in
Order to have it
We think we have to know something in order to heal
That if we don't know it if we don't know how
Then we're not gonna heal. That's that's just hogwash
We think that we have to know how
Nutrition works in order to be healthy. We think that we have to know
How
Satan has
Structured all of his demonic forces and how he operates in order to be able to defeat him
It's all
Knowledge, we think we have to know and understand the principle spiritual principles of things like
Like
Sewing and reaping and taking advantage of it in order to get a particular
Results in order to be financially successful
All of it is based on a roaring line. Yes. All of this is based on knowledge
Everything and it all sounds good, doesn't it?
nutrition
sewing and reaping tithing tithing
down here
Really pulling everybody's good it blew mine when I first learned this I was like
But it's true, it's true, uh, I yeah, I was gonna tell you something that would probably scare you
But
But anyway, so this is that like the knowledge of earthly things like think for instance, let's take let's take health
that's a really big deal for people and
That
That we have to have knowledge of like say Western medicine
Surgery physical knives all of that in order to actually heal from something like cancer in order to heal from I don't know
whatever and that we have to have a lot of early knowledge about how earthly things work or
Opera, you know or things like like like nutrition
Organic versus
Versus, you know pesticide ridden, you know things like that that that is the only way that we can stay healthy
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
That we are subject to
Then we're subjecting ourselves to it
That's so it's not that it's not real it absolutely is real
It's perfectly fine
All of them are going to heaven God loves all of them
They're all good and I didn't know about you, but I have operated in all of these rooms
All of them God still loves me the same
We're all going to heaven. It's okay
I'll everybody in the everybody that's operating these realms is going to have in a matter
You know what? It is that they believe and they will believe in like earthly
earthly principles if they believe in learning more about spiritual principles or if they believe no
I already have it all and I want to operate out of this place
We're all going to heaven
God loves us all the same God does not love these people more than he loves these people because they're like
Oh, he's like, oh they finally got it
It that doesn't change anything. He's just like, oh good
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
Heart you can operate from a place of rest
it's a lot more effortless to operate from this position because you are acknowledging the
True character of God in your and and who it is that he's declared you to be these things understand
Do not separate you from God. God's just saying I've provided you this
Why would you want one of these?
Why?
So this one, let's keep going with with the health idea. So
so for
If people are operating out of
at this place. This is where you get a lot of the faith healing. I believe, I
believe, I believe. If I hold my confession, if I try, if I try, if I try, if
we, if we learn all of the, if we go to a training and if we and learn about, learn
about healing like, I don't know, Smith Wigglesworth or, or if you want to get
into the charismatic, you know, then Katherine Kuhlman or, you know, whatever.
If, if, if we can learn from them, if we can go to their conferences, of course
both those people are dead, but you know what I'm saying, people, Curry Blake, you
know, whoever, that, that's a, that's a current one. You know, these word of, these
word of faith and people, they operate out of this realm. In other
words, they frame up their world in this way. That's what I'm saying. They're
framing their world up in this way. In some areas of my life, this is where I
frame up my world. In some areas of my life, I've noticed I frame up my world
down here and in other areas of my life, the Lord has moved me to, to frame up
my world up here. I am more looking to, which is what I teach, you know, people,
you know, as far as like business, to operate their businesses from a place of
rest, is I teach people and, and I'm learning more and more how to operate
from this place in my business, in my relationships and everything else from
place of rest, but it's, it's a, it's a journey. I'm having to, I'm having to
traverse because what I'm doing is I'm overcoming my flesh. That's what it is
that we're doing. By traveling up, we are overcoming our flesh. It really, it's not
traveling up. This is our nature to be here. All we have to do is let go of
these things and then we're naturally here. We don't have to work ourselves up
because remember, this is our nature. So, so like I said, this would be kind of
like the faith healing, whatever. I've got to hold my confession. I have to hold it.
In other words, I still have to work. That yes, it's by faith, but I have to work for
my faith. I have to try really, really, really hard. Remember all those things
that we've been talking about where we're wondering, okay, yeah, but, but how
do I believe? How do I believe? And I said, you've got to stop trying because when
ever you're doing anything that starts with the word try, it's from here down.
You could even be operating from here, but you're still trying, meaning that
it's operating according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We think
that we have to work to, to move up and God's like, no, you just accept and
believe that you're up here, but you don't try. So anything that starts with
the word try means that we're adding effort to it. So it would be like all of
these, the knowledge of all of the spiritual stuff. And then, of course, this
is where a lot of spiritual warfare is, is operated from. A lot of the really
complex inner healing things, you know, where you go and you, and you go, I don't
know how much some of you have heard about some of this, these teachings, like
going back through your bloodline and trying to figure out, okay, where did the
root of bitterness come in? Did it come in through my great-grandfather? What did
he do? Where did this sexual sin enter our family or the sin of alcoholism or
the, this tendency that we have towards alcoholism, you know, or I don't know,
whatever. It could be of anger or, I don't know, unbelief, whatever. And then
they traverse and you hire these people and sometimes you don't hire them,
sometimes they just offer it for free, you know, ministers, and they'll walk you
back for hours, multiple sessions, back through your bloodline, repenting of
everything that you can. And then there's this process for repentance to talk your
soul through agreeing with the fact that you should repent and all of that. I'm
not, understand, I have done those things. I've gone back through my bloodline for
things. I've done these things and I'm not discrediting them and saying that
they are bad. In other words, that they are, that they can't be
used, that I'm not a Christian. That's what I'm trying to say. I'm not saying
that at all. I think my arm is going to sleep from holding this. Sorry, let me see
if I can move this. I'm just saying, I'm trying to identify for us areas in which
we operate on a daily basis that we were taught in the church. When God says, you
don't need to do all of that though. Sorry, you probably can't even see me now. You
don't have to do all of that though. All you have to do is this. Remember, these
people are operating according to the laws that God himself created. Satan did
create these laws. Let's see if I can, if y'all can see me. Satan did not
create these laws. God did. God created the physical laws by which way
the physical universe works. You know, like we were talking about health. God's
the one who decided that thistles, you know, could heal. You know, that the milk
of thistles could heal. He's the one that determined that essential oils can
help the body heal. Remember, they don't, I understand, they don't heal. You know,
all of these things help remove hindrances that the body is taking to
heal. All of these things are good. They're not bad. God's the one who
created them. God's like, hey, these are tools. You can use them. When Christ was
on earth, he used tools. He was a carpenter. He used tools. He ate. He used
physical laws by which to keep, by which to give his body sustenance. He ate fish.
Remember, even when he had a spiritual body, he ate in front of them. God doesn't
create bad things. The reason that what it is that he's saying here, when
he's saying, I want you to operate from this place, is he said, I want you to know
that I am your source. That none of these things are your source. None of these
things serve, none of, you don't serve these things. You should not have to toil
and sweat for your provision and protection. You should not have to toil
and sweat and use these tools to give you something. He's like, you already have
everything, but you can use these tools just fine because I created them. He says,
I created them. I created all those herbs and all of those, all of those, the plants.
He gives people all of the insight to be able to develop Western medicine. Those
things aren't bad. God doesn't create bad things. His, what he's saying is, he
says, y'all need to stop relying on them and thinking they're what's keeping you
alive. He said, I am. He said, I provide your source. I am your source. I provide
your healing. I provide your finances. I provide your business with clients. It's
not because you're doing things. He said, but I created physical laws that you can
operate within. You can partner with me enjoying the earth where you understand
that these physical and these spiritual laws, because there's spiritual laws as
well, like things like rest. What are other spiritual laws? I don't know. Sowing
and reaping, you know, all of those good things. Those are, those are not bad
things. God, again, God does not create bad things. He just wants us to know that
these are not our source. We can use them. We can interact with them. If God didn't
want us to interact with them and if they would have caused us to sin, he
wouldn't have given them to us. They're not bad, but he says it's the attitude
and the perspective and the belief that you have that you have to harness these
things in order to provide for or protect yourself. He said, that's the
problem. Once you know that you're up here and that I provide you with
everything and that your business doesn't, that, that you don't even have to
work in your business in order for, you don't even have to have a business, in
order for me to bring you money, in order for me to provide for you, but now that
you know that, now I want you to enjoy all of the business activities. Just
enjoy it because it's fun, but they don't give you the clients. But if we've cut
God off, we think, we harness these spiritual laws that God put into place
or these earthly laws that God put into place and how to use like people, you
know, human psychology and in our marketing, how to make people feel
comfortable, how to develop relationships with people, how to use particular
formulas, all of that stuff works. All of it does, but if we use it believing that
is how I get clients, that is how I provide for myself, that is how I can
control my results and we've separated ourselves from God, not believing that
he's the one that gives us clients and it's actually our activity that gives
us clients, that's the problem. That's operating from down here. If we believe
that it's our activity,
amount of time that we're putting into our business, how many people that we've reached out to,
I don't know, just all kinds of things. How many people have signed up this week, whether or not
I followed all of the protocols that I should have in a particular intensive, you know, whatever.
If we think that that is what is getting us the result and that that is what is providing for us,
that's the problem. That means that we're operating according to this system.
As opposed to operating from this system and getting to benefit from having these things,
from having these spiritual principles, from having these physical laws, because everything
is meant to serve us. And when we operate from these places down here, we're serving them
because we believe that they can get us what it is that we need. But operating from the spirit,
we realize, wait a minute, this spiritual Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
I'm above the spiritual principles. Do we see that we're even above spiritual principles?
Spiritual principles are supposed to serve us. Yes, physical laws are supposed to serve us too.
That's why Jesus was able to calm the wind in the waves, because it responded to a higher power.
And that's why he got it, why he turned back to the disciples. He was like,
why on earth did you wake me up? He's like, you could have done this.
Why? Because he's like, you're up here, you've got power and you have authority.
The physical laws serve you. It's creation that responds to you. The spiritual laws
respond to you. The spiritual laws serve you, not the other way around. So I'm still starting
with feeling like I need to do my part. I know, I know we do. But see, God doesn't need us to.
See, the idea of doing our part, again, means that there's something that is,
that means that we believe that we are lacking and that we do not deserve to be given to unless we,
quote, pull our weight. And that comes from a feeling and from a belief that we're lacking
and we don't deserve. And God says that he loves us and that because he loves us, we're deserving.
And he gives us everything without working for it. If he would die for us and give and allow
us to be reunited with him while we were hating him, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do worse
than that to be more undeserving. I mean, there's just nothing at all. So the nice thing is we just
have to remember, okay, who does God say that I am? Every time we feel that there's something
that I'm not doing or something that I need to work harder, I need to do more,
God's not pleased with me. God's not going to bless my business because now I'm resting so
much in my mind and in my attitude, I'm apparently not taking business seriously.
You know, we can even run into condemnation, you know, trying to now operate from this
understanding of rest. Oh my word, I bet you that God is, that I'm doing this all wrong.
And that unless I do this perfectly and just right, then God is not going to, that God's not
going to move me into these new things. He's going to abandon me somewhere and it's going to be my
fault that I didn't understand and that I didn't get it. He tried to teach me. He tried. It's all
my fault. You know, all of that is believing that we're in a place of lack and that we're
undeserving. We no longer have any weight to pull. So what I can say about the whole weight thing,
I can turn this around. Um, oh shoot. Okay. Before I do, uh, before I talk about the whole weight
thing, let me go back to, I'm going to write this note for myself. Okay. So I'm going to go back
here to talk about, uh, sewing and reaping. So sewing and reaping just really quick, you know,
the whole idea of like, and it doesn't even have to be tithe, but it could just be like,
I don't know if we sowed bitterness, if we, um, uh, I don't know if we lived, uh, if we made
really bad immoral decisions early on in our lives or whatever, if we, uh, smoke and eventually,
you know, decades later we get lung cancer. Oh, well, you're just reaping what you sow,
you know, that is, is according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
because what it is that we're saying is we believe that by doing something that, that for
ourselves, that we're getting a particular result. So in other words, I'm doing something in order
to, uh, like if I, if I frame up my world, like if I eat healthy, that is,
the only way that I will be healthy. That means that I believe I'm outside the
curtain and I'm trying to get back in. So the problem with that, that sounds great
as long as you can hold to it. If you can hold to it though, what it
leads to is pride that you attain to it. You're healthy. Somebody else isn't.
Well, we bring in and we judge them. We have a lot of pride
because we worked really hard. We ate healthy. We were very slim. We're
whatever. And then we judge people who aren't because we worked hard to attain
to this standard that we believe that we needed to attain to in order to some
kind of meet some some standard that would all give that but through which we
would please the Lord. That he would give us good gifts. That he would whatever. I
worked for my health. Therefore, if you don't work for your health, you're lazy.
You're not disciplined enough. You're whatever. However, what if that so it
leads us to judgment. Pride and judgment which is what pride is. Pride is just
judgment. That's all that it is. And then the tables though, if we're choosing
to operate according to that, it also means that we reap the negative
consequences. So we don't just get to reap the good things that we sow because
we frame up our world in the belief that well the world operates
according to sowing and reaping. That's great or it seems great when you when we
harness it and we get the good things. It also means though because we framed up
our world that it operates according to reaping and sowing and that I don't
deserve good gifts just because God's a good father but he's expecting me to do
my part and he's expecting me to do something. If we frame up our world like
that, then we also put ourselves in a position where we fall into condemnation
when we don't sow or when we sow something negative I should say. When we
sow something negative, we're gonna get a negative. We're gonna reap something
negative. So it's a double-edged sword. For one thing, we have to work really
hard to get the thing that we want which isn't fun and then it leads to pride and
judgment of everyone else. Pride of ourselves and judgment to everyone else
who hasn't done what we did. They didn't fast long enough. They didn't pray long
enough. They must not have been disciplined, spiritually disciplined,
physically disciplined, whatever in order to reach a particular goal or it can
also lead to condemnation as well where we condemn others. Sorry, we condemn
ourselves because we worked really hard to be healthy. We were exercised a lot
and we still couldn't lose the weight. Now we're condemned or we were on the
diet for four weeks but we needed to be on it for 12 and then suddenly we
couldn't take it anymore and we got off the diet and we just thought, oh it's
just gonna be for one dinner but you got off for one dinner and regardless of
what you see on the scale, you now put yourself in self-condemnation because
you fell off the wagon. To use an Alcoholics Anonymous phrase, fell off the
wagon and so it either leads to pride when we've attained it or condemnation
when we haven't. Condemnation when we haven't because we knew that we could
have. If we had worked hard enough, if we'd had the right opportunity, if we'd
believed enough, if we had listened to the right teaching, the right preacher
to give us the knowledge that we were somehow missing, that we needed in order
to finally understand how I could be healed. Healed of my wounds. What it is
that God wanted. He wants me and he wants me to serve him and the
fact that I don't have something from the Lord that I want, it's not his fault.
It's all mine and therefore I feel ashamed. I feel condemned because I
know that it was expected of me and if I had worked hard enough and searched long
enough, I could have found it. I could have found the answer. I could have found
what it is that God wants. That God wants of me and wants me to do and
because we're believing that we don't already have it.
Hey Amy! We're believing that we don't already have it and that we're not
already there. Okay, so that is that's the...
thing and let me know if I didn't explain that well enough because I
actually feel like I went through that really quick and and the other day I
gave I gave Carrie in our private consultation I said I promise I hadn't
forgotten your your your question so let me just give you a really quick
highlight but for some reason I'm feeling I explained a bit more there
than I did here so it must be because in my mind I'm thinking oh well I've
already explained it so I don't remember what it is I'm missing so if there's
some question that y'all have in there about how that I didn't explain about
sewing ramping and the fact that it's according to the tree of the knowledge
of an evil in other words it is a spiritual principle that God created
remember God does not create anything bad doesn't God does not create sinful
things spiritual principles are not simple earthly principles and laws are
not sinful but believing that there are source in that we can use them and that
we need to use them in order to get to God to make him pleased with us that
this is our source that we can use in order to attain an inheritance that's
the problem and they are meant to serve us we're not meant to serve them okay
and I can so many different things to say let me go back to that in just a
second because I wanted to just touch on one thing really quick before I leave
but before I do I wanted to talk about the the mantle really quick so I hope
I'm not just like throwing this middle of nowhere and God gave me this picture
one time I was standing with him and it was a really really fascinating time
with him and I had this brown cloak on and he took the brown cloak off this
this mantle and he took and he took it off of me he said you don't need that
he said let me take that that's what he said he said let me take that and then
he gave me this Queen's robe like as in Queen Elizabeth's coronation robe it's
that thing is so long I don't remember how long it is it's at least six yards
long it is so long and probably an at least a yard and a half wide completely
lined with ermine beautiful thick plush ermine and and like a you can go look it
up on on on online Queen Elizabeth's coronation robe or something like that
really really fascinating so he put something like that on me here here's
what was really interesting when he put it on me I looked like I was about four
years old and here's what was cool about that picture that he showed me so here's
my shoulders so the and the robe now I'm talking about a robe pink and this
has helped me tremendously because I never understood how is it that I could
have everything but I still feel that there's power and authority that I'm not
operating in that God says is mine but he says he can't give it to me yet
because I am and that I can't operate out of it yet because I'm still under to
being taught by tutors and governors I'm still maturing I didn't understand how I
could have everything but still needed to mature in order to be able to actually
have it I thought that doesn't make any sense I was so confused until the Lord
showed me this picture so anyway so standing with him I'm actually before
the cross sort of kind of long story and and and so he put this mantle on me and
so this mantle like I said I looked about for this visual to work I'm gonna
have to I'm gonna have to make myself smaller okay so let's say I was like four
years old here or that's what I wasn't for but that's what I looked like looked
for and then he put this mantle on me and it went way out here something like
that and I know this isn't great but there you go and it was on me like that
and and so what this showed me is he gave me the entire mantle the entire
thing right at the beginning he gave me all my identity all my power all of my
authority everything that comes with who I am he gave me all of my inheritance I
did just for you stuff so this is Steph everybody this is this is her mantle
because it's pink because it's her favorite color which is why it's her
favorite color because her spirit man knows that her mantle is pink anyway but
see at four years old the only thing the only part of the mantle those
These mantles, by the way, are extremely heavy.
They are very, very heavy.
That velvet and the ermine is extremely heavy.
That is, that's not cheap stuff
that you buy from the costume store.
That's the real stuff that is very heavy.
And so, you actually have to be very strong
in order to pull it forward on the floor.
And so, when Queen Elizabeth walks,
she has her entourage carry it,
because it's so heavy.
Anyway, so the only part of this mantle,
even though I was given the entire mantle,
this is Steph, I forgot.
Even though Steph is given the entire mantle,
the only part that she is carrying the weight of
is from here, from her shoulders, to here.
This is the only part that she's bearing the weight of,
because the ground is bearing the weight of the rest of it.
But she was given all of it, all of it.
Nobody else is under that mantle.
Nobody else is carrying part of it.
Stephanie was given all of it.
But the only part that she's bearing right now,
that's pulling on her shoulder,
that her shoulders are bearing the weight of,
the only part of that mantle is from anything
from her shoulders to the ground,
based off of how tall she is,
because that's all that her body can bear.
But then, as she gets taller,
yeah, go Steph, that's right.
That's right, Steph is our inspiration tonight.
But as Steph gets taller and older
and more spiritually mature,
more of that mantle gets pulled up onto her shoulders,
very naturally, very effortlessly,
and now she's bearing the weight of all of this,
of all of this area.
Before, she was only bearing like this much.
Now she's bearing all of this,
and she didn't have to try.
All she did is she just grew taller,
just grew taller and more spiritually mature in the Lord.
And as she did that, she naturally was,
according to the spiritual laws that God put into place,
she's naturally bearing more and more weight
of the mantle that has always been hers.
So that's how, I'm so sorry, I don't have to carry this.
I've never asked you how tall you are.
So, you always just look to me like you'd be tall.
I always just assumed you were my height.
I was like, Steph's tall,
it's just so obvious from her videos.
But, so you're given your mantle in the beginning.
You're given the power, the authority, your destiny,
all of these things.
That gets a little confusing,
but I'm just trying to be very simple about all of this.
You were given what you were destined
to bear the responsibility of.
Not a bad responsibility.
Remember, it's not a burden.
It's not a burden.
But what you were given the opportunity
to collaborate with the Lord in,
according to his Father's heart,
that you delight in, that you enjoy.
Like, think of the businesses
that are just burning in your heart.
When you're actually doing something you love,
it doesn't feel like work.
Like, think about when you're having,
when you take your kids to the fair
and y'all are at a really nice moment
where you're just taking care of the kids.
Like, everybody's happy, nothing's wrong.
Nobody's going astray and you're having to tell so-and-so
to not go too far.
Everything's going right.
Everything's going fine.
Parenting is a responsibility in that moment,
but it doesn't feel like a burden.
You love it.
It is so much fun.
When you love what it is that you're doing,
it's not a burden and it's not a weight.
I mean, it's a weight, but it's not a negative weight.
It's something that you enjoy.
I personally really enjoy responsibility.
The more responsibility I have, the better that I perform.
And here's the thing is, I'm not different.
Here's the thing is, that didn't make any sense.
Here's the thing.
I'm not different than other people.
I just recognize that about myself,
but everybody's like that.
Everybody.
The more responsibility that they have, including children.
Amy writes about this in her book.
I've loved it.
I was like, that is exactly right.
Because that's what I teach business leaders.
That's when we talk about leadership in business,
we're going to be talking about that same idea,
is that people perform better
when they're given responsibility.
It's just natural, natural thing of like,
yes, there's risk in giving it,
but you father somebody into it.
You father your team members into it,
just like you father a child into it,
just like you're being fathered into it as well.
So I wanted to mention this in relationship to the spirit,
because even though we have everything.
There's still an element of growth but we are given it all in the
beginning and as we grow and we spiritually mature, we naturally
effortlessly pull up and take on more and more power and authority
based off of the height to which we've now grown in the Lord. But we've always
had it. God isn't giving us more and more power and authority per se.
There might be some element in which he is, in which I have yet to
understand, in which God hasn't shown me. But I do know for sure, because he's the
one who showed me this picture, I know for sure that in a very general
broad-brush sense, at least for us to be able to grasp as a
foundational building block that we can start with, that we are given everything
in the beginning. But we're very flexible. This is what we believe today. We might
believe something tomorrow, but based off of God's continued
revelation. But he gives us everything it is that we need and then as we grow in
him, we effortlessly begin to bear more and more and more
weight. We don't have to pull on it and insist, okay, Lord, I now get more. No, it
naturally comes with the territory. It naturally comes with more and more
spiritual maturity. Okay, last thing that I want to talk about. I have a lot that
I'm packing into this one, so you might need to watch it more than once.
And so I'm choosing to do this instead of divide, since we're already on a roll
here. I'm gonna wrap up with this. Instead of dividing it into another video, I'm
trying to remember if I've talked about this at all. I'm not sure. And that is how to
move between one realm and the next. So I already talked about the fact that we
need to, it's based off of our belief of how good God is. So our belief of his
character. Is God this good? Do we believe he's this good? Or do we believe
he's this good? According to how good we believe that he is, that is the realm in
which we choose to, that we're choosing to operate. So how do we do that? We've
already been talking a bit about it as far as, you know, when people have been
asking, okay, so how do I not strive? How do I enter rest without striving to
enter rest? So we release, right? Because what is it? We're in a state of
resistance. That is what the soul and the body, that's what this whole section
right here is. We are in a state of resistance. That's the flesh resists
against the Spirit. Remember that it talks about them in Scripture? It says
the flesh resists against the Spirit. And so it's in resistance, meaning, which is
really surprising to all of us to learn because we don't feel like we're in a
state of resistance. Especially if we want to do the will of the Lord. Yeah, if
we're in rebellion, well then yes, we understand, oh yeah, that's resistance. But
we don't realize how we're resisting when we think, no, I'm waiting on him. I'm
wanting it. I'm whatever. And we talked about that before where we talked about
the fact that we're, think of it kind of like a container where God is trying
to give us things and God's already sent us the gifts that we asked for, but we,
but we're resisting. In other words, it's not pushing away. If you look up in the
dictionary, the first definition of resistance means to not allow.
We're not allowing it to come in. Why? Because we already have it filled with a
foreign object. That's what this whole area is here. Where if we're relying on
this as our source, it is actually, we're using these things to fill our container.
God's like, no, no, no. These are tools for you to use, understanding that I am
your source and these things are meant to serve you. But if instead, if
we fill our container, that it was not meant to hold these things. And if we
fill our container with these things, then we can't receive the things of the
Spirit. So that's the resistance. It means that we're not allowing. So what do we do
in order to let things out of that container, in order to stop
resisting? Release. That's what this area is here. That is what this veil is.
Remember that veil area? So it's release. That's all we're doing. You just let go.
You stop. All of this is trying. This is you stop. Just stop. It's so nice. That's all you have to do.
You just stop. And then up here, and once you release, you effortlessly float here.
It takes a lot of work for us to have pulled ourselves down. Why? Because we're
naturally buoyant. We naturally operate out of this place.
is our nature. We do not have to fight to attain to it. We don't have to release things and then
try to work ourselves up here. No, no, no. It will naturally happen just like as soon as you release
the, uh, the hindrances of your body that your body is experiencing to being able to heal itself.
As soon as you release the hindrances, you don't have to try to heal the body. Body's like, hey,
I got this covered. Nobody can heal me better than me. And it just takes over because it's
its nature. It's following its natural processes. You don't have to force it to do something.
You just have to get the hindrances out of the way of, uh, that are disallowing nature to take
its course. So as soon as you release nature takes its course and you naturally operate out
of the spirit. You don't have to try to operate out of the spirit. You naturally will. You do.
All you have to do though is to release our dependence on all of these other things that
we think will help us attain to this. We think God wants me to have love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness. I better work on having love, joy, peace, patience, kindness. No, no, no, no, no, no. Stop
trying. Just release all of those things and then you'll enter rest, which is a state of receiving.
We effortlessly receive everything from here. So this is constantly operating. Let me write
this over here. Constantly operating in a state of resistance. This is living in a state
of resistance. This is exhausting. I'm sorry. I don't know if you can see all this. I apologize.
I know that I'm trying to like see me and the word in it. Um, so hopefully y'all can see everything
you need to and I'm pointing to it. So this is, this is living in a state of resistance.
All we do is, you know, the veil, we release. By the way, that's what death is. Death is not
frightening. Death is release. It's letting go. It's dying to self. That's why it hurts.
We gotta let it go. There's a reason why we're wanting to hang on to it. We like it.
When I hang on to it, we think that it is the means to an end of being, of protecting ourselves,
providing for ourselves, determining that and ensuring ourselves the safety that we can get,
that we can get a desired outcome for sure. Following a formula, we know we can rely on it,
that we're going to get a particular result. Release is death. That's all it is. Death is not
scary. It's just releasing. Why? Because God conquered death. Jesus conquered death. There's,
the reason why death is scary, we think that there is something, we believe that
there's lack on the other side, that there's nothingness on the other side, but it says,
death wears your sting. God took it out. There's nothing bad about death anymore. The only thing
about death, and by the way, when I'm talking about death, I'm not talking about physical death. I'm
talking about like spiritual death that we go through where it's kind of like, oh, we have to
let something go. That's all that death is. God actually removed the sting of death.
It's no big deal. It is no big deal. In fact, it doesn't even warrant us even
thinking in terms of death. So what God is moving me into is learning how more and more to not even
acknowledge death. But in the meantime, in the meantime, we can understand that death is simply
the veil through which we pass into life. Pass from this state into life. The way you get from
here to here is through, is through our old paradigm of understanding that was used in the
Old Testament as the word death, spiritual death, whatever. All that that means is it's release.
That's why death feels so painful. I got to let it go. It's really not that hard. You just let it go
and then release. And then you get, when I say it's hard, meaning it's not difficult. It's not,
it does not take effort is my point. Now, it doesn't mean that it's fun.
So don't take my word of like difficult. It's like, oh, well, it's not, it's not difficult and
it's really easy. You know, as if, oh, well, you know, we all know that there's a reason why we're
hanging on to things and even though we should let them go, we're not letting them go.
So I'm not discrediting that. I'm saying that it's actually effortless to do so. It does not require
work to pass from death into life, spiritual death into spiritual life. So yes, death is the veil to
the spirit. Yes, correct. So anyway, I just wanted to mention that because now that we're talking
about these realms, I wanted to let
everyone know when we've been talking about resistance and that you need to
release in order to move into rest this is that this is the the visual this is
living in a state of resistance where we're relying on these things as our
source tree of the knowledge of good and evil so we have to we have to release
all of this that is causing the resistance just have to release it and
simply by releasing we naturally float up to our to operate according to our
nature our nature not something new it's our nature sorry I'm really trying to
figure out how to get in there there we go not something new it's our nature and
it's arrest and we can just receive in that place so and that is how God
provides for me financially it's how he provides for me and so many are
relationally I'm trying to think of what other so obviously business I'm trying
to think of what other areas you know I don't know what my health and I'm
learning how to operate in greater and greater measures of arrest understand
because I'll attain to a particular measure that I'll have I have attained
to a particular measure of belief I believe God is is X good I believe he's
this good but then I don't realize that I'm still limiting him until God will
take me through something else and like oh wow I need to make him this good I
didn't believe that I didn't realize that I wasn't believing that he was this
good and then God made me into something else he's like no Ashley I'm this good
I'm like oh wow here we go you know so I'm like stretching so I'm still
stretching and I'm still learning but I'm learning to how to operate more and
more and in rest so once we get once we learn to operate in rest God will
continue to widen and broaden our tent so here I would say time 18 to just go
let it go and move on if I needed to hear it too wait to just let it go to
just let it go and move on oops I needed to hear it too oh that yeah yeah I know
I'm sorry it took me a while to figure out what are you saying you were saying
that you were telling her but you weren't taking your own advice yes just
remember just just stop that that we are people think that people are naturally
bad we're not naturally bad God does not create bad things for naturally very
good and if we focus on the positive and if we show people how big God's garden
is and that it's only one tree that God said not to eat from and that we can eat
from all of the others then people naturally want in and it's at their very
nature it's at their very essence to do the right thing even children even
children it is that their very nature and their very essence to do the right
thing but they they begin to have all of these lies filtered on like I'm not safe
I'm not protected I have to do it for myself and and what was I gonna show you
that's about to show you one more thing shoot I don't remember what it was got
to talking about that the spirit oh I don't remember but um a little
bothering that's how you about to say I've no idea but anyway I'll just I'll
just leave it there and that is plenty to chew on you might need to go back in
and watch it a few times and just kind of just because I packed so much in
there but hopefully that is helpful and there's even more to say about it than I
have so I'm not going to be surprised if y'all have all kinds of questions like
well what about this you know just like Carrie asked about sewing and reaping
well where does that fit in you know I explained about health but I don't know
y'all might have and further questions about all of that and oh well I didn't
tell you what what health is in the hundredfold did I so health in the
hundredfold is not only that I am healed because remember I'm complete so
anything that is said of Christ can be said of us and anything that is not
cannot be said of Christ cannot be said of us and Christ isn't sick so we're not
sick the problem is our body isn't manifesting it so the body gets
instructions from the soul and the soul determines whether or not it will allow
itself to receive instruction from the spirit if it allows itself to receive
instruction from the spirit then it will change the it will take on that
instruction it will submit to the spirit by acknowledging that this spirit is the
right truth and that it should that that we're one with Christ we should
operate out of it and then by acknowledging that that the spirit knows
all things that we're already in the spirit
then that allows the spirit to come down, manifest in the soul, and by
manifesting in the soul, which is changing our emotions, our mind, all of
that good stuff. By doing that, our mind and our emotions, especially really our
mind, our mind is what tells our body what to do, even if we're not conscious
of it. What it is that we believe in the soul manifests in the body. If we're
traumatized in the soul, if we're hurt in the soul, if we've been abused, it will
manifest. If we feel afraid, if we're terribly fearful, it will
manifest as sickness in the body. That is what sickness is. Yes, there's
such things as viruses, etc., but the reason that a virus doesn't die
immediately when it's in the body and that the body will absorb it and that
the body will act on it is because it is operating according to the belief of
whatever it is the soul says. If the soul believes that it's victim to viruses and
that it's not already healed, then the virus won't die when it hits the body
and it will manifest as the flu or it'll manifest in whatever. I have one
of the biggest things that people deal with is, oh Steph, you were
talking about this. You posted on the other day about the rash. Stress. Stress
is something in the soul that will manifest in the body. The body gets
its instruction from the soul, so if there's emotional issues in the soul, the
body responds physically. It is the visible
manifestation of invisible realms.
What was I going to say? Oh, the gut health. I struggled a tremendous amount
with gut health. Thankfully, I'm young living. See, my faith
wasn't here. My faith was down here. I took advantage of earthly things, earthly
essential oils, earthly knowledge, because this is where my faith was at.
There's nothing wrong with that. This is where my faith was at. I thought, I
believe that these herbs will heal me. I believe that these essential oils will
heal me. I believe in all of that. I have an earthly body. It needs
earthly things to help it. That's where my faith was at and it did. It has
healed me tremendously in my gut health. I'm still working on it, but it healed me
of at least three-quarters of the problem. The Lord told me that it had
even turned back the tide of cancer. He said that I was on the road to cancer
and he told me, he said, Ashley, you really do have to get on this ASAP. He said,
because the doctors haven't found that you are that close. Terrified the living
daylights out of me. I called Cheryl Flair that I keep
mentioning, one of my friends. I called her and I was like, look, I need
to get on this stuff right away. Then the Lord healed me of that. I used
this system, but how did I get this problem in the first place? I had a lot
of... I believed that I was not lovable, that I wasn't likable, and that I could
not expect to be comforted. That was my issue. I had a very strong desire
to control my outcome and to control my world. A lot of... when we desire to control
things, it usually messes with our gastrointestinal system. That is... it
can manifest in various things in the body, but there's been... but so often
there's... it will actually choose to manifest. It usually chooses to manifest
in bad gut health and it throws the gut health off. The body is just visibly... it is just
physically manifesting things that are happening in the invisible realm. Just
like we as man were created to visibly manifest an invisible God, God gave
us a type and shadow in our own bodies. If there is an issue that our
bodies are supposed to manifest who we are physically... who we are in the spirit,
if we're fully healed in the spirit, our body is supposed to manifest that we're
fully healed. Why is our body not manifesting that we're fully healed?
Because we don't believe it. We don't believe that we're here. We don't believe
that God is who he says that he is. And we... or we believe that he is in
finances, but we don't believe that he is in health. And so our body takes that
instruction and makes what it is that we believe in the invisible... it makes it visible.
What it believes is in the invisible. It makes it visible. I don't believe I'm healed. I don't
believe I'm here. Therefore, the body's like, oh, I guess we're not, I guess we're not well. I guess
we're sick. And it'll manifest like that. So we can, we can form. It's by our words that we form
our own world. Even the non-believers know this. So a lot of this, you know, you'll hear in a lot
of new age teaching. Oh, I mentioned this. And so just, just as a FYI, you know, that Satan's not
powerful enough to come up with all of these things. Like, like, cause Satan cannot create
spiritual principles by the way. So only God can. So, um, uh, he can corrupt them, however. So God
is the one who came up with the original ideas for things, things such as, I don't know that we
hear about in like new age ideas or voodoo or like really creepy things. So my medical charts
stress and IVS. Yeah, yeah, I know. Uh, it, our bodies will manifest because our soul is,
is giving it that blueprint of what to carry out. The body's like, I need instruction. The soul's
like, here's instruction. Here's what I believe. So this is what we need to manifest. The body
manifests what it is that the soul is believing. Um, um, so, so anyway, but I wanted to mention
about the thing like, you know, like voodoo, black magic, uh, uh, uh, like a new age stuff,
you know, things like that. We need to understand all of those things are Satan's counterfeits
of things that God created. So in other words, that's the dark, twisted, corrupted version
of a power that God created that is out there somewhere that's actually good. And that we are
in that he intended us to use and operate in, oops, this one right here, spiritual principles
and spiritual laws. There's a, there's a lot of them that we have, uh, that, uh, Satan
took and correct, created a corrupted version. And now we want nothing to do with it. Thinking,
throwing the baby out with the bath water, thinking the whole thing must be bad.
It's not, it's just that it has that the only version that we're used to seeing is the corrupted
black, dark, diabolical, demonic version. So, um, I just, I mentioned that in, uh, to,
so that we can understand that a lot of some of what I'm talking about, about the whole thing of
like, you know, we form our words, we form our world by our words. We're used to hearing new
wagers say that. Right. And so I just wanted to clarify, this is not a new age teaching.
This is, this is understanding that our God is the one who created the universe.
Satan is not powerful to create these, these types of principles, but he is powerful enough
in this realm. Cause remember he operates in this realm. He's under our feet. He's in the
second heaven. And, um, and he is powerful enough to take something that pre-existed
and twist it and corrupt it. And that we want to stay as far away from as we can. That has
nothing to do with the Lord anymore, but just know that, uh, that our God is very powerful
and has tremendous authority and desires for us to operate in that. He, and he created all
those spiritual principles for us to use and govern as sons of God that they serve us. We
don't need them. We govern them. We govern spiritual principles. We govern all of creation,
including spiritual principles. And some of these spiritual principles are extremely powerful. Case
in point, we form our world by our words. Our physical body manifests what it is that we believe
about who we are and who God is in the invisible realm. And the soul is what determines that. The
soul is the gateway that determines what it is that the body is going to manifest,
what it is that we do and don't believe. And the body's along for the ride. He's like,
Hey, I'm here to receive instruction. What are we going to do? I'll make it visible. Whatever it is
that you believe, I'm just here to make it visible. So our body is not our enemy. Our body
is looking for a Lord. It is looking for a King to tell it what to do, to tell it how to stand in
its place, to identify it for itself so that it cannot feel like it is abandoned and alone to
survive and to try to keep us alive. It's the opposite. We need to take care of it.
We need to tell it what to do or who it is and tell it how to operate so that it can then serve
us effortlessly. That's how it was created.
Now it's opening up another bigger discussion, so I think I keep opening big
discussions. Hopefully I answered more questions than created questions, but
I've loved hanging out with y'all tonight and feel free to either put
comments below as always or, you know, post them. Oh, we are gonna have a Q&A.
What is today? Today's Wednesday. We're gonna have a Q&A tomorrow night, so
hopefully everyone will get a chance to watch these two videos last night and
tonight because I know they were very heavy and come with
questions. So anyway, I look forward to seeing y'all tomorrow and y'all have a
good night. Bye!
