WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.760 I'm gonna kind of segue us into talking about two things that one of which I've 2 00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:14.520 talked about a bit in my coaching program but there's there's additional 3 00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:19.080 layers of that that the Lord has had me learn and walk out this past year that I 4 00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:25.200 have not been sharing and because again I want to only speak what it is that I 5 00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:30.960 own and and then but before that we're actually going to start with something 6 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.440 that I have never talked about and it's again something that the Lord has had me 7 00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:42.640 that has been teaching me and having me walk out practically you know putting my 8 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:48.360 life on the line you know my faith on the line risking things and it wasn't 9 00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:54.080 until December where I went through a very major threshold shift another one 10 00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:58.760 and it was it was very challenging very difficult a new way excuse me a new way 11 00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:03.320 to trust the Lord a new way to believe that he was more love and more good than 12 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:12.000 I had that I had agreed with him thus far that he was and then he was able to 13 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:19.640 manifest into my life because I chose it before I saw it and I chose it in very I 14 00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:25.400 won't I won't you know believe I won't take time to tell you this story but it 15 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:31.680 was a very extreme situation and from by the worldly standards by the world 16 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:41.280 standards it was it was way past deadline way past and so what so there's 17 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.480 so I want to give that as an encouragement to you that just because 18 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:50.960 God that when God says that he's our protector in our provision it does not 19 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:58.960 always mean that our deadline or that a deadline that the world gives us maybe 20 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:03.760 our make something up I don't know just some decision that we have to make a 21 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.440 that some deadline that a person gives us of actually I need a decision by the 22 00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:12.400 state or the bank tells me actually this is the deadline for this payment or the 23 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.640 insurance says this is a deadline for what for whatever that does not dictate 24 00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:22.080 my life yes there is there is and there's wisdom it to operate according 25 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.880 to those things my point is that if God is calling you to remember that you are 26 00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:31.560 always protected for and provided by him it will come it will manifest itself in 27 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:37.200 a variety of ways very often it will look in the form of a manifested wisdom 28 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:42.720 as in you meet those deadlines but just because the deadline passes does not 29 00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:48.240 mean anything contrary to about the character of God than what he has 30 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:55.400 declared because God God's character is not determined by an arbitrary deadline 31 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:06.160 so yes I live in faith I am I live being believing that I am sustained by the fact 32 00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:11.720 that God loves me being sustained by the character of God and even my 33 00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:18.920 deadlines pass and I'm still declaring that what my God says is true remember 34 00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:24.840 what Shadrach Meshach and Abednego said they said Abednego they said you know 35 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.240 even that our God will deliver us from the fire and even if he doesn't so it 36 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.360 wasn't what it was that God was going to save them from or a deadline that we 37 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.400 tell him that we need him to meet because we thought that that was a 38 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.080 standard he was holding us to in order to be a responsible citizen or whatever 39 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:49.000 that that God's character is not determined by those things and we do we 40 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.560 it's very very very important that we do not hold God our belief in God's 41 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.760 character hostage to the manifestation don't hold God's character hostage to 42 00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:03.800 that and another thing don't hold your relationship with him which is what he 43 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.080 values above everything else don't hold your relationship with him at ransom 44 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:16.880 until he meets your demands and that includes don't throw God's words and 45 00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:22.840 promises back at him as I know you must show me this about yourself you're the 46 00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:27.680 one Lord who said this I am waiting for your word you have said this to me and I 47 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.920 am withholding myself from you remember it talking and I don't remember which 48 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.000 book it is talking about the importance of that a man and woman might withhold 49 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.400 themselves for a certain amount of time that it is very important that they 50 00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:42.640 always come back together and that they do not allow that time to be too long 51 00:04:42.640 --> 00:04:48.760 again God does not like separation between us and him and he doesn't want 52 00:04:48.760 --> 00:04:53.320 us to withhold him and to use his relationship our relationship with him 53 00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:59.360 as a as a bartering chip or up for ransom until he until we until he 54 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.680 this word in a way that we approve of and that meets our standards. He gets to dictate 55 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.400 everything. He gets to dictate the word. He gets to dictate what we're about to talk about 56 00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:16.960 in the second session, which is dreams and visions and how they manifest. And he also 57 00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:24.600 gets to dictate how it actually happens. We're going to talk about now how we get to partner 58 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:31.480 with God to actually create. That's what we're talking about in this section, is how do we 59 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:37.280 partner with God to actually create something on this earth? Adam partnered with him in 60 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:41.720 the creation of the animals and the fact that, yes, God created them. He spoke them into 61 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:48.920 being, but then Adam helped him. He called Adam to help him by saying, I want you to 62 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.520 partner with me and I want you to name them. Within the name that you give them is going 63 00:05:53.520 --> 00:06:00.120 to is carried an identity that you're speaking over them that for the rest, however many 64 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:08.200 thousands of years that these lines of animals live, they will carry out that identity, that 65 00:06:08.200 --> 00:06:13.560 characteristic based on what it is that you're speaking over them. So we too are co-creators 66 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:20.640 with God and we're going to talk about that today. We're very used to New Agers and people 67 00:06:20.640 --> 00:06:25.800 of other religions talking about manifestation. Manifestation is not a bad word. It simply 68 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:33.520 means to create something. It simply means to finally see something that was once invisible 69 00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:39.480 and now see it as visible. And we get to partner with the Lord in that. We don't get to decide 70 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:47.760 on our own apart from God. Well, this is what I want to do, which is why all those other 71 00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:52.320 religions when they begin to manifest things and the things that they teach, they're using 72 00:06:52.320 --> 00:06:56.520 real principles of God, which is why they work. But they're doing it according to the 73 00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:01.520 tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They're doing it according to man worship. And if 74 00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:08.600 I just zero in on my target and I determine and I speak affirmations that I want this 75 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.960 thing to happen, then I'm going to manifest it and make it happen. It does work, but remember 76 00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:18.520 it's in separation, therefore it leads to nothing but death. That's why God wants us 77 00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:28.480 to have no part of it. So when there's manifestations that are being talked about in books, I don't 78 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:35.880 know, mindset coaches or whoever, I mean like secular mindset coaches, we wonder, so why 79 00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:42.400 is this thing bad? That's why we're not to have any part of it. It's done from a place 80 00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:48.080 of separation. It is not done from one's identity in Christ where one is in the blood 81 00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:53.120 of Christ, operating in the blood of Christ at that moment, not simply because of the 82 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:58.240 blood of Christ. No, in the blood of Christ at that moment, together with God, choosing, 83 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:05.320 co-laboring together, conjoined wills to manifest their relationship and make it visible in 84 00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:11.840 some unique form, which ends up being in a variety of forms that we refer to as creation. 85 00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:18.880 He speaks something into existence, and he uses us to partner with him to do that. And 86 00:08:18.880 --> 00:08:23.280 that I wanted to talk about first before we start talking in the second session about 87 00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:30.920 goals, dreams, and visions, because this is the power through which when we partner with 88 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:36.840 the Lord, the dreams and the visions and the goals actually manifest. When God gives us 89 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:44.720 a goal, a dream, or a vision, then we don't just wait for the Lord. Okay, Lord, so you're 90 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.760 going to do it. Well, why aren't you doing it yet? Seventeen years later, we're still 91 00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:54.440 standing there going, God, why haven't you done it yet? God's like, because you're supposed 92 00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.200 to do it with me. We're supposed to do it together. The whole aspect of you living life, 93 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:05.160 the whole point of you living life, so to speak, when you're going through life, what 94 00:09:05.160 --> 00:09:10.520 it is that I want you to do is I want you to do, this is a process and a journey of 95 00:09:10.520 --> 00:09:15.240 you developing your relationship with me, and you standing there waiting for me is not 96 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:22.840 relationship. And it's not developing. So the result, God says, hey, by the way, that 97 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.440 thing is coming, but it's coming when you and I together, join together, take a journey, 98 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.280 and just letting you know this is where we're going to end up. This is going to be the result. 99 00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:39.120 That is a promise, a goal, a dream, a vision of what something is that you and the Father 100 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:46.960 and the physical manifestation into creation that God foretells you that is going to happen 101 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:55.920 is actually a promise to you of the aspect of your relationship that will be developed 102 00:09:55.920 --> 00:10:00.000 up to that point. So it's God's promise. 103 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.440 that you will mature, and you will be victorious enough that when the two, to 104 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:10.680 choose him, so you can be assured of the fact that God has promised you that 105 00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:13.920 you'll be victorious, and that you'll make the right decisions, and that you'll 106 00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:18.440 you'll risk having faith with him. And that's what that, and that's what that 107 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:23.720 goal or that vision is. He's saying, you will choose me enough that together, that 108 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:28.960 over time, together, that will eventually be the visible expression of how you and 109 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:34.840 I have matured together as a unique being. So that, that's the goals and the 110 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:40.000 dreams and visions, but what is the, what's the, the power, what's the source 111 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:47.120 behind it? So first of all, let's start with, well I just wanted, the reason I 112 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:52.200 wanted to show this really fast is what I was just saying, that, that the, that 113 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:57.080 our, remember that our purpose, that the purpose for which we were created was to 114 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:01.640 have, have a relationship with the Lord, was, that's why we were taken out of him 115 00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:07.440 and put back into him before creation ever, you know, existed. Then our destiny, 116 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:15.800 once creation existed, our destiny was to manifest who it is that he and we were 117 00:11:15.800 --> 00:11:21.120 in the invisible, and actually make it visible. So he created a realm that was 118 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:28.680 visible for the purpose of, and which is our, which defined our destiny to, meaning 119 00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:32.800 our destiny related to the earth, not the destiny of our existence. Destiny of our 120 00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:36.240 existence, meaning the purpose of our existence is for relationship. When I'm 121 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.320 talking about destiny, I wanted to use a different word than, than purpose, so that 122 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.560 we understand it's destiny, in other words, the, why God created the earth. 123 00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:50.400 Because if God, if the whole purpose is relationship between us and God, then why 124 00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:54.520 did we need the earth? That's this extra, that's this additional thing that God 125 00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:58.640 said, let's take what you and I have together, and let's actually make it 126 00:11:58.640 --> 00:12:05.520 visible. Let's change the form. Let's grow it and develop it enough where we take 127 00:12:05.520 --> 00:12:13.200 it from 1D to 2D to 3D. That's what creation is. It is basically taking God 128 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:17.280 and, and ourselves, and that, and the development of that relationship, and it 129 00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:21.960 is, it's moving it into another dimension. What is that doing? It's 130 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:27.120 expanding us. It's expanding the Father, and it's expanding us. We're, well, we're, 131 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:32.320 we're expanding it, and so it's not expanding us, but that was just a real 132 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.920 quick way of saying it, but we're expanding, and as we're expanding, it's 133 00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:40.520 being created. So remember that the universe is always expanding, scientists 134 00:12:40.520 --> 00:12:44.920 have discovered. That is a type and shadow of the fact that God himself, who 135 00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:48.080 we already know is infinite, and no, we can't fully understand it. It's like 136 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.920 understanding, trying to figure out the Trinity. Even though he's infinite, he's 137 00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:56.160 also ever-expanding, meaning we're never going to get to the end of him. If we're 138 00:12:56.160 --> 00:13:00.400 of a character in the essence and the DNA of God, it means, and we're also in 139 00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:07.240 God, it means that we will continue to expand for eternity. But anyway, so, so our 140 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:13.080 destiny is to make the invisible of our relationship actually visible. When you 141 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.480 and God come together in a visible form, what do you look like? What do you look 142 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.520 like as a song? And that would be a song that you would write. What do you look 143 00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:24.840 like as a piece of art? What does an expression of you look like? And I 144 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:30.320 don't mean just you, an expression of you, just one out of the multifacets that make 145 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.840 up you, and you and the Lord. What does that look like as a piece of art? These, 146 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.920 all of these things here are, all of these pictures here are actual visible 147 00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:44.680 expressions of the artist joined together with God in the spirit seeking 148 00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:51.120 to make that thing visible, that aspect of themselves, themselves visible. Anyway, 149 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:57.440 so that, that our, the manifestation of our spirit, of our, the relationship of 150 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.640 our spirits will take on a variety of forms in creation. So you're not just 151 00:14:01.640 --> 00:14:04.880 going to create, your relationship isn't going to create one thing, in creation 152 00:14:04.880 --> 00:14:11.320 it's going to take all kinds of forms. And when he made creation, he said, you 153 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.600 are going to have dominion over it, and I want you to connect. I want you to 154 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:23.280 connect earth and heaven, so you will be of both heaven and earth, just like Jesus 155 00:14:23.280 --> 00:14:30.000 was. Jesus had, was born of spirit. Remember he, that the Holy Spirit joined 156 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.960 together with Mary's womb, so she provided the, the humanity, and then God 157 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:41.160 provided, God provided the spirit, and then Jesus, just as an example to us, at 158 00:14:41.160 --> 00:14:47.760 every level, as he always is, he bridged heaven and earth. He was made of, so to 159 00:14:47.760 --> 00:14:55.000 speak, he consisted of heaven and earth. He bridged the gap. So, and we do the same 160 00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:01.240 thing. We need to love creation. We're of it. 161 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.840 We're above it, but we, it's not this other thing that, well, it's just this, it's just 162 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:12.320 this other, I don't know how to describe it, it's, it's, we need to understand that there 163 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:21.000 is a connection, and there's an essence of ourselves as well that is of that which creation 164 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.880 itself is of. 165 00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:28.240 We thankfully are over it, so it doesn't ever, we're not ever controlled by it, determined 166 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:36.200 by it, or identified by it, but this allows us to be a king over it because we're of it. 167 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:41.560 Just like Moses was allowed to be the, the leader of the children of Israel because he 168 00:15:41.560 --> 00:15:44.660 was a Jew, however, how did the Lord prepare him? 169 00:15:44.660 --> 00:15:48.100 He did not allow him to grow up to be a slave. 170 00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:53.040 If you are a slave, you cannot save other slaves. 171 00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:59.920 Moses could not grow up as a slave, instead he grew up in the royal household, and he 172 00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:05.600 was sent off in preparation as a pioneer into the wilderness, and then called back to save 173 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:12.200 a people that he was connected to, because he bridged, he was connected to them, literally 174 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.880 in physical, physical form, but he never lived as them underneath that slavery, but because 175 00:16:17.880 --> 00:16:24.800 of his connection with them, he had the authority by God to be able to lead them out of slavery. 176 00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:27.000 We're doing the same thing with creation. 177 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.240 We are of it, but we were never enslaved. 178 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.240 Very important. 179 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.480 A slave cannot lead other slaves into freedom, so anyway, drawing all kinds of connections 180 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:43.360 here, so that's what we're going to be talking about, is the, how we are joining together 181 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:50.280 with God in our destiny of manifesting the invisible and actually making it visible. 182 00:16:50.280 --> 00:16:56.480 By visible, we also mean the soul as well, and people who can see into other realms have 183 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.480 seen the soul. 184 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:08.359 In fact, I was talking to someone yesterday, or the day before, here, at this conference. 185 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:14.200 I'll leave it to them to share as to who they are, if they want, but I was talking 186 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:20.839 to someone a couple of days ago that said, actually, I've seen my soul, and so she described 187 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:26.960 to me what it looked like, and she said that it looked like, in Frozen II, she said, actually, 188 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:31.760 you know where all of the colors are, there's so many colors, and they're like twirling? 189 00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:37.960 She said, it's like that, only they're colors I've never seen before, so people can actually 190 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.960 see into the soul. 191 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.800 We can see into the spirit as well, but I'm just pointing that out. 192 00:17:41.800 --> 00:17:46.200 We're also talking about anything that happens in the metaphysical, we're manifesting that, 193 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.680 we can manifest down into the soul as well, and that's the realm of like our emotions, 194 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:57.040 our thoughts, ideas, concepts, spiritual laws, we're over spiritual laws, we're not governed 195 00:17:57.040 --> 00:17:59.240 by them. 196 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:07.440 We're in relationship, governing spiritual laws and earthly laws, so we actually will 197 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:15.720 help, and by doing that, we actually help identify earthly laws and spiritual laws. 198 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:20.080 That's what Jesus did when he was talking to the wind and the waves. 199 00:18:20.080 --> 00:18:21.080 He identified him. 200 00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:23.120 He's like, this is what I want you to do. 201 00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:31.240 I know who you are, and now that I know who you are, I'm giving you instruction, and I 202 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:32.760 need you to act appropriately. 203 00:18:32.760 --> 00:18:34.260 He governed over them. 204 00:18:34.260 --> 00:18:35.400 He didn't say that they were bad. 205 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:36.440 He didn't say they were wrong. 206 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.920 He didn't say, I need you to change. 207 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.720 He said, no, be yourselves, but do it in order. 208 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:49.800 Do it this way, because he, as a sovereign king in the spirit, was seeing in the spirit, 209 00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:54.240 knew what needed to be done, and was telling it how to come into alignment, and then he 210 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.800 looks back at his disciples, asking, why did you wake me up? 211 00:18:57.800 --> 00:19:00.280 You could have done the same thing. 212 00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:07.760 Okay, so now let's actually get into, I finally figured out how to turn this around on my 213 00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:08.760 own. 214 00:19:08.760 --> 00:19:10.760 I felt very powerful. 215 00:19:10.760 --> 00:19:13.760 It does not take much. 216 00:19:18.760 --> 00:19:23.760 Okay, so what do I want to start with? 217 00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:28.760 Let's start with what creation actually means. 218 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:34.240 How creation happens. 219 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:44.240 So, here is, let me just write it like this. 220 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:54.240 So, here is masculine, feminine, God, his bride, pictured here and manifested into the 221 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:59.720 invisible form as a type in shadow, as a man and a woman. 222 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.640 Order, I see, is there anything else? 223 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:09.200 Oh. Fascinatingly also spirit and waters. 224 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:14.680 Remember the, that the, that Genesis 1, 1, that this, 225 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.440 or Genesis 1, 2, whichever, that the spirit hovered 226 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:24.000 over the waters, and the spirit hovered over Mary. 227 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:25.200 So, just wanted to point, 228 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.120 to draw some different connections there for us. 229 00:20:29.120 --> 00:20:33.040 So, we're co-creators with Christ, just, and he, 230 00:20:33.040 --> 00:20:37.080 and he exemplified this as the type in shadow between a man 231 00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:40.240 and a woman, they can come together and create something. 232 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.560 They can create a new human being. 233 00:20:44.560 --> 00:20:48.480 That when, at the moment of conception, a soul, 234 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.400 a human soul that is, that is, that has a spirit 235 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:57.200 in heaven is, is all conjoined. 236 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.160 So, they are co-creating. 237 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:05.440 Now, as, as we know, that do, in physically, like if you think 238 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.280 of physical anatomy, it's very obvious 239 00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:10.800 that the masculine is meant to initiate, 240 00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:12.560 and the woman to receive. 241 00:21:12.560 --> 00:21:14.400 Same thing with us in the Lord. 242 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.520 God always initiates. 243 00:21:18.520 --> 00:21:21.280 That is his role, it's his character, 244 00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:23.560 it's his essence, it's his being. 245 00:21:23.560 --> 00:21:27.160 Remember, this is, this is a conference about rest. 246 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:28.280 We're at rest. 247 00:21:28.280 --> 00:21:30.000 We don't initiate. 248 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.200 We don't, we don't start the thing. 249 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.080 We receive. 250 00:21:37.080 --> 00:21:40.160 So, there's initiation, and then receptivity. 251 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:43.720 But, in that receptivity, what is very important, so a lot 252 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.040 of people get that, really like, well, I can't do this. 253 00:21:46.040 --> 00:21:47.440 You know, God's going to be, going to have 254 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.040 to be the one to do it, especially if we're talking 255 00:21:49.040 --> 00:21:51.200 about something that we think of in terms of like, oh, 256 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.000 well, that's impossible, right? 257 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.200 Well, God's going to have to do that. 258 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:55.040 I can't do that. 259 00:21:55.040 --> 00:21:57.200 I mean, it's very obvious that I'm limited, and da, da, da, 260 00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:58.880 da, we need to stop talking like that, 261 00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:00.240 and you stop thinking like that. 262 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.120 We're free from that. 263 00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:03.680 I don't mean that we need to be condemned, 264 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:04.840 like, oh, we need to stop. 265 00:22:04.840 --> 00:22:06.800 No, no, no, you don't have to. 266 00:22:06.800 --> 00:22:09.200 You do not have to live into that oppression, 267 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.760 and because you actually aren't there. 268 00:22:12.760 --> 00:22:14.760 So, you don't have to subject yourself to something 269 00:22:14.760 --> 00:22:16.600 that you're not enslaved to. 270 00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:18.960 But, anyway, here's the very important point 271 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.720 that I want to make, and that is the fact 272 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.400 that when the co-creators come together, 273 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.760 that while the man initiates, in other words, the masculine God, 274 00:22:30.760 --> 00:22:37.640 while he initiates, what does he initiate with? 275 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:42.440 Word. How does God give himself to his bride? 276 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:48.280 Word. And so, he gives word. 277 00:22:48.280 --> 00:22:52.080 What are we, what is the bride responsible for? 278 00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:54.560 How does she interact with word? 279 00:22:54.560 --> 00:22:56.600 How does she receive word? 280 00:22:56.600 --> 00:23:08.800 She's called to receive, and the receptivity is belief or faith. 281 00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:10.600 So, it's, you know, it's faith. 282 00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:12.600 In other words, even if you feel like whatever it is 283 00:23:12.600 --> 00:23:15.360 that you've identified with thus far in your life is belief, 284 00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:17.320 understand that that's not belief, and we need 285 00:23:17.320 --> 00:23:20.000 to upgrade our understanding of what belief is. 286 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.360 It's actually faith where you don't feel, 287 00:23:22.360 --> 00:23:25.520 you may not feel anything, but you choose it anyway, 288 00:23:25.520 --> 00:23:26.880 because God said it. 289 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:28.600 And how do you know what to choose, 290 00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:32.160 and how do you know what you have permission to execute 291 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.360 or to come up with or whatever? 292 00:23:34.360 --> 00:23:35.680 God said it first. 293 00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:38.320 Whatever God said, you've got permission to step out on, 294 00:23:38.320 --> 00:23:41.960 even if it's never been done before, because you're meant 295 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.560 to make something happen that's never been seen before. 296 00:23:45.560 --> 00:23:48.280 So, you can't be waiting for something that's waiting on you 297 00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:51.160 in order to even exist. 298 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.920 So, God provides the word, initiates with word. 299 00:23:54.920 --> 00:24:03.520 We respond in faith, and then, excuse me, a being 300 00:24:03.520 --> 00:24:06.960 or an aspect of creation is created. 301 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.960 Now, it hasn't been born yet, 302 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.640 so the seed is planted within the woman. 303 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:17.320 In order for it to actually become a baby, though, 304 00:24:17.320 --> 00:24:18.840 what has to happen? 305 00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:20.960 This is the very, very important point. 306 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.960 The woman also has to provide a seed. 307 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:29.800 Yes, the man initiates, but the woman has to provide a seed. 308 00:24:29.800 --> 00:24:32.280 So, she receives very effortlessly, right? 309 00:24:32.280 --> 00:24:35.000 We receive from the Lord very effortlessly, 310 00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.960 but we do have a contribution. 311 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:39.760 So, if you've been wondering why something 312 00:24:39.760 --> 00:24:43.560 that God has promised you hasn't manifested in your life yet, 313 00:24:43.560 --> 00:24:45.280 you have a contribution. 314 00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:49.160 What that means is you have a say. 315 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.520 You have decisions that God would like to know 316 00:24:52.520 --> 00:24:55.240 your opinion about. 317 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.360 Now, He's going to father you into that. 318 00:24:57.360 --> 00:25:00.040 So, say, for instance, you have a 35-year-old. 319 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.200 old man and a five-year-old son, and they're going to do something together, well, whose 320 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:10.040 opinion weighs the most in the conversation? Well, the 35-year-old man does, simply because 321 00:25:10.040 --> 00:25:14.760 the 35-year-old father, he knows more about, like, all of the things that he has to think 322 00:25:14.760 --> 00:25:19.760 about. What do you want to do today? Oh, I want to go to Disney World. Well, I'm sorry, 323 00:25:19.760 --> 00:25:26.920 son, we live in Seattle, so we can't do that. You know, we can't go there today. But the 324 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:31.320 five-year-old's just like, well, I don't know, why not? So the father far outweighs because 325 00:25:31.320 --> 00:25:35.920 he can see more, he understands more. However, what the father is wanting the child to do 326 00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:40.160 is he doesn't want his child to remain like that for forever. He wants to know his child's 327 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:46.040 opinion. It's very important that we allow our children to express their opinion, to 328 00:25:46.040 --> 00:25:53.360 let them, to give them confidence that what comes out of them is good, as opposed to always 329 00:25:53.360 --> 00:26:00.720 suppressing and saying, no, that's bad, bad idea, da-da-da-da. We guide it, though, but 330 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:09.880 we don't speak in condemnation, where they could possibly internalize it out of, oh, 331 00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:17.240 that came out of me, or I want that, therefore, me wanting that or me thinking that is bad 332 00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:25.800 because that came out of me, and I'm bad, therefore, et cetera. So anyway, God wants 333 00:26:25.800 --> 00:26:31.040 to actually, just like that example I was saying earlier, the father doesn't want his 334 00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:37.840 five-year-old to stay five forever. He wants to develop a relationship with him and guide 335 00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:42.240 him and raise him to the point that his son can grow up and mature, understand how to 336 00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:48.320 make decisions, not the decisions he would make, but decisions according to how it is 337 00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:56.520 that God has called that young man's spirit to manifest into the earth. He desires, a 338 00:26:56.520 --> 00:27:02.520 father really unconditionally loves and desires his son to manifest that, and so he's guiding 339 00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:08.400 his son into how to mature enough to the point to be able to make those types of decisions. 340 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:18.760 So when a 35-year-old man and now, excuse me, would that be 60, 70-year-old man, is 341 00:27:18.760 --> 00:27:23.680 that right? Did I do the right math? And a 70-year-old father, or no, no, it's 65-year-old 342 00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:30.520 father, now that they're 35 and 65, if they talk about what restaurant they want to go 343 00:27:30.520 --> 00:27:37.400 to, they have equal weight in the conversation because the father helped mature the son to 344 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:44.400 that point in order to be able to enjoy his son at a more intimate level, where instead 345 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:49.880 of there being so much from the parent to the child, the child has been raised to give 346 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:59.720 to the father. Fathers raise the sons that save them. Because, and here's why, because 347 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:04.040 I just dropped that bomb right in the middle there, so I need to explain it. Okay, so we 348 00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:11.240 are a single body of Christ from Adam all the way till, you know, whoever, however long. 349 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:17.320 We're one single body in Christ, and each generation is given particular responsibilities 350 00:28:17.320 --> 00:28:22.840 and given ways, given things from the Lord that they learn and that they are called to 351 00:28:22.840 --> 00:28:29.080 believe God in, step out in so that creation now can manifest that. That then, all of those 352 00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:36.280 hard choices that your parents made, we should honor them for because their ceiling is the 353 00:28:36.280 --> 00:28:41.680 floor that enables us to stand where we are. But what does that mean? That doesn't mean 354 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:46.560 that we're only supported by the parents. Why are we being supported by the parents 355 00:28:46.560 --> 00:28:49.640 and what it is that they accomplished and what it is that they believed about God that 356 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:55.640 was true, that we now get to benefit from and our grandparents and our great-grandparents? 357 00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:01.280 The whole point of that is, okay, let's get the next generation higher, and we're just 358 00:29:01.280 --> 00:29:05.760 going to use higher in terms of this aspect of like ceiling and floor, so we'll just talk 359 00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:09.880 about it that way. Let's get the next generation higher and higher and higher and higher so 360 00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:15.560 that they can finally be the one to reach the banana so that, or all of the bananas, 361 00:29:15.560 --> 00:29:21.120 so that we can all eat. That's what we're doing. We're working together, so what it 362 00:29:21.120 --> 00:29:28.240 is that you, the new things of the Lord that you step into that your parents don't understand, 363 00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:37.760 don't condemn them for that. They believed things about God that their parents didn't, 364 00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:44.300 and they enabled you to stand where you are, and so now God's revealing amazing new things. 365 00:29:44.300 --> 00:29:49.440 For instance, you know, here right now, here on the earth, and He's revealing new things 366 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:56.520 to us these days, and what that means is that because we're now, we are receiving that, 367 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.260 that revelation, we're called to step out in it, 368 00:30:04.260 --> 00:30:07.080 receiving that word, we received the word, 369 00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:08.280 we're receiving the revelation, 370 00:30:08.280 --> 00:30:10.320 we're called to step out on it in faith 371 00:30:10.320 --> 00:30:12.920 so that something can manifest 372 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.160 that will release creation from frustration. 373 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.960 What is the creation that we're releasing from frustration 374 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.720 when we're stepping out and believing God 375 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:23.280 in a new way than our parents did? 376 00:30:23.280 --> 00:30:26.240 We're releasing our parents from frustration. 377 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.200 Fathers raise their own saviors. 378 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:30.680 I don't mean a savior like Jesus Christ, 379 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.240 I mean just someone who helps them. 380 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.920 So our fathers were so used to being supported by them, 381 00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:39.000 right, so used to that, 382 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:42.600 that they're the ones who are doing everything, whatever. 383 00:30:42.600 --> 00:30:45.760 They're doing that in the Lord's eyes, 384 00:30:45.760 --> 00:30:48.400 the way that the Lord sees it is they're doing that 385 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:51.760 in order for us to eventually be able 386 00:30:51.760 --> 00:30:56.760 to give them what it is that in the Lord 387 00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.040 they have allowed us to reach. 388 00:31:01.040 --> 00:31:03.160 It's very important that we honor them 389 00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:05.880 for what it is that, for how it is 390 00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:08.160 that our generation is where it is 391 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:10.680 and what it is that we know. 392 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:12.560 And it's very easy for us to look back, 393 00:31:12.560 --> 00:31:15.400 especially as God is loosening our holds of legalism, 394 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.560 et cetera, how do you think that we got to the point 395 00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:21.640 that we can receive the word that we're now able to receive? 396 00:31:22.600 --> 00:31:26.640 All of those decisions that they made prior to this 397 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:28.760 to believe God to the level that they did, 398 00:31:28.760 --> 00:31:32.120 including if we would define it by the word, 399 00:31:32.120 --> 00:31:35.320 by the words of traditionalist religion 400 00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:39.840 or legalism or whatever, it enabled us to be here. 401 00:31:39.840 --> 00:31:41.160 And why are we here? 402 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.680 We're here to save them, not condemn them. 403 00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:48.000 Remember what I was talking about with my coworker? 404 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:50.280 That's why I chose to do that. 405 00:31:50.280 --> 00:31:52.440 I didn't know that, I just knew it in my spirit 406 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:54.120 that that's what I needed to do. 407 00:31:54.120 --> 00:31:55.880 But it's like the longer that, 408 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:58.560 the more that the Lord reveals to us, 409 00:31:58.560 --> 00:32:01.840 we now realize, oh, that's the spiritual principle 410 00:32:01.840 --> 00:32:03.160 that was in play. 411 00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.160 In other words, somebody that is hurting me 412 00:32:09.040 --> 00:32:10.640 or anything like that, 413 00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:14.000 and then instead of just protecting myself from him 414 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:18.520 and condemning him, I'm called to actually save someone 415 00:32:18.520 --> 00:32:20.200 who's trying to destroy me. 416 00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:21.520 That's what Jesus did. 417 00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:24.160 He actually died at the hands of those 418 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:25.440 he was trying to save. 419 00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:31.320 We are always called to act just like our Father, 420 00:32:31.320 --> 00:32:34.640 but he always does it first, 421 00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.280 initiates, receives. 422 00:32:37.280 --> 00:32:42.280 We're supposed to echo, for lack of a better phrase. 423 00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:46.160 He does it, and then we follow his example 424 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:47.400 multiple ways. 425 00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:52.400 Anyway, we contribute a seed, 426 00:32:54.120 --> 00:32:57.960 and the Lord, excuse me, wants us, 427 00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.200 just like that example between a father and a son, 428 00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:03.560 he is trying to raise us up to the point 429 00:33:03.560 --> 00:33:06.640 where whatever seed it is that we're contributing, 430 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.200 it carries a greater and greater weight 431 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:13.160 as he teaches us how to mature and makes decisions 432 00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.280 that when he and we counsel together, 433 00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:21.720 it bears greater and greater weight in the conversation, 434 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:23.600 and it helps determine more and more 435 00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:26.720 what it is that the two of us decide to do together. 436 00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.560 And here's why. 437 00:33:27.560 --> 00:33:29.640 It's not because we're gaining more and more power 438 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:30.920 relative to God. 439 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:32.000 It's not that. 440 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.920 It's that God, because we look just like him, 441 00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:37.720 because he's the only thing that he finds safe 442 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:39.520 because he's uncorrupted, right? 443 00:33:39.520 --> 00:33:42.040 Because we look more and more like him, 444 00:33:42.040 --> 00:33:44.600 we are now safe enough for him 445 00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:46.520 to be more and more vulnerable with, 446 00:33:46.520 --> 00:33:48.120 more and more intimate with, 447 00:33:48.120 --> 00:33:51.400 and now he honors us by allowing him, 448 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:56.280 allowing God of the universe to be vulnerable enough 449 00:33:56.280 --> 00:34:00.960 to the point that he allows us to actually bear more weight 450 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:03.640 in the decision of what it is that we're going to do, 451 00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:08.320 as opposed to always superseding all of our decisions 452 00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.920 and like, no, we're not gonna do that. 453 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.239 And I know this because I'm currently living it 454 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.199 in a particular measure. 455 00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:21.600 Very, you know, not in the measure that other people are. 456 00:34:21.600 --> 00:34:24.360 My point is that, and we'll be talking about this later 457 00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.600 when we talk about the goals and dreams and visions, 458 00:34:28.600 --> 00:34:31.920 how to make decisions where you're coming up 459 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:34.040 with your own ideas and presenting them to God, 460 00:34:34.040 --> 00:34:35.840 as opposed to standing around waiting for him 461 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:37.239 to tell you what it is that he wants you 462 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:38.600 to do with your life. 463 00:34:38.600 --> 00:34:40.679 What business do you want me to have, God? 464 00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:42.280 Oh God, it's been three weeks. 465 00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:43.360 You still haven't told me. 466 00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:45.280 God's like, well, where's your ideas? 467 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:46.239 What do you want to do? 468 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:47.080 What are your thoughts? 469 00:34:47.080 --> 00:34:47.960 Let's talk about this. 470 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:52.960 And then the more mature that we become in the Lord, 471 00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.199 not the older we get in physical, 472 00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:57.320 the more mature we become in the Lord, 473 00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:59.880 the more weight that it adds to the, 474 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.440 to the discussion, but we do have a contribution. 475 00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:06.520 Very important for us to realize 476 00:35:06.520 --> 00:35:07.600 that we don't need to be standing around 477 00:35:07.600 --> 00:35:08.640 waiting for the Lord. 478 00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:14.640 Standing around waiting for the Lord is not action, 479 00:35:14.640 --> 00:35:16.920 and faith without action is dead. 480 00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:20.680 So if we're waiting, we haven't believed. 481 00:35:20.680 --> 00:35:22.720 If we're waiting, we haven't had faith. 482 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.600 I mean, there's such a thing as waiting on the Lord, yes, 483 00:35:27.600 --> 00:35:29.240 but that's because he creates the result. 484 00:35:29.240 --> 00:35:31.520 So I'm not talking contrary to scripture. 485 00:35:31.520 --> 00:35:33.640 I'm talking about the fact if we're waiting around 486 00:35:33.640 --> 00:35:36.600 and we're just like, well God, why haven't you done this yet? 487 00:35:36.600 --> 00:35:37.760 God, why haven't you done this yet? 488 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:38.880 God, why haven't you done this yet? 489 00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:43.880 There's no action to say, we're actually accusing him 490 00:35:44.160 --> 00:35:45.440 instead of believing him. 491 00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:49.040 And so therefore, we're actually not having faith. 492 00:35:49.040 --> 00:35:52.960 And that's the type of waiting that I was talking about 493 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:54.360 that we shouldn't be doing. 494 00:35:55.080 --> 00:36:00.080 And okay, in talking about how to, 495 00:36:02.200 --> 00:36:06.560 the energy, life force, whatever, 496 00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:08.520 I don't know how to word it, 497 00:36:08.520 --> 00:36:13.520 that needs to come from us, 498 00:36:13.720 --> 00:36:18.320 needs to come from us as part of the seed of our contribution 499 00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:20.400 is in our will. 500 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.480 It's in our will. 501 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:29.560 In other words, our intention. 502 00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:36.800 God wants us, well, let me add another word. 503 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.480 God wants us to decide. 504 00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:44.480 Have a will, have an opinion. 505 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:49.920 Don't be rigid about it, but have an opinion. 506 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:53.520 Want something, desire something. 507 00:36:53.520 --> 00:36:55.000 We're afraid of desiring things. 508 00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:56.400 I know this from personal experience. 509 00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:57.680 We're afraid of desiring things 510 00:36:57.680 --> 00:36:59.520 because we're afraid of being told no 511 00:36:59.520 --> 00:37:01.800 or we're afraid of being disappointed. 512 00:37:02.720 --> 00:37:05.720 I actually got to the point where I wasn't seeing 513 00:37:05.720 --> 00:37:08.160 the gifts, certain gifts and dreams 514 00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:11.080 that I asked the Lord for manifest in my life. 515 00:37:11.080 --> 00:37:14.240 And so I thought, okay, and in fact, all of them 516 00:37:14.240 --> 00:37:17.720 felt like I was being denied all of them for decades. 517 00:37:17.720 --> 00:37:19.120 And no, that is not an exaggeration. 518 00:37:19.120 --> 00:37:21.560 If you want specifics, just come and ask me. 519 00:37:21.560 --> 00:37:23.080 All of that is very, very true. 520 00:37:23.600 --> 00:37:25.320 All of these gifts for decades 521 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:27.200 and they weren't manifesting. 522 00:37:27.200 --> 00:37:32.200 And so I thought that, okay, apparently that doesn't work. 523 00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:36.080 Apparently me wanting something doesn't work. 524 00:37:36.080 --> 00:37:40.560 So maybe the rule is, maybe the trick is 525 00:37:40.560 --> 00:37:43.360 to not ever want anything. 526 00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:46.040 So I stifled my dreams. 527 00:37:46.040 --> 00:37:49.200 So when God began to heal me and identified me 528 00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:51.200 and I found my identity in him, 529 00:37:51.200 --> 00:37:55.200 he had to begin to heal me to be able to dream 530 00:37:56.040 --> 00:37:58.320 because dreaming was very scary. 531 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:00.360 Dreaming according to the laws and rules 532 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:04.520 in which that I had accused God of operating by 533 00:38:04.520 --> 00:38:07.800 meant if I dreamed it, if I wanted it, 534 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.560 if I desired it, it was guaranteed 535 00:38:10.560 --> 00:38:14.400 that he would ask me to sacrifice it and give it up. 536 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:18.320 If I wanted it, it was always bad. 537 00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:23.160 If I wanted it, it meant that it was always 538 00:38:23.160 --> 00:38:25.280 from a wicked and sinful place. 539 00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:29.280 I know it makes no sense to probably some of you, 540 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:31.560 hopefully that have had a much more healthier perspective 541 00:38:31.560 --> 00:38:33.640 of the Lord than I have had growing up, 542 00:38:33.640 --> 00:38:36.120 but that was how extreme that I got. 543 00:38:36.120 --> 00:38:37.800 I told you, I'm a very, very extreme person, 544 00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:39.920 just like one end or the other. 545 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:43.040 So thankfully the Lord's brought me a lot more into balance. 546 00:38:43.040 --> 00:38:48.040 But the Lord wants us, let me, excuse me. 547 00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:52.280 Let me also write one more thing. 548 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:53.120 I'll write it down here. 549 00:38:53.120 --> 00:38:54.280 I'm sorry, I know it's gonna be small, 550 00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:56.920 but I'm just gonna, well, I'll just write it over here. 551 00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:00.080 Another thing that I just mentioned, 552 00:39:00.080 --> 00:39:01.880 he wants us to desire. 553 00:39:03.120 --> 00:39:07.800 Wants us to will, intend, decide, and desire. 554 00:39:09.040 --> 00:39:13.840 Don't remember, God is a safe place with which to dream. 555 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.440 Don't keep yourself from dreams 556 00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:17.800 because you want, 557 00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:20.080 because you're afraid of being disappointed. 558 00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.840 The expectation of being disappointed 559 00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:25.880 is accusation against God. 560 00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:28.600 My God is not good. 561 00:39:28.600 --> 00:39:29.960 My God is not loving. 562 00:39:32.520 --> 00:39:36.400 So now when my desires don't happen the way that I want, 563 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:38.760 I don't accuse God. 564 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:40.840 I'm like, oh, but my God's still loving 565 00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:42.000 and my God's still good. 566 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:44.400 But I had to develop to that point. 567 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.520 My relationship with him had to develop to the point 568 00:39:47.520 --> 00:39:49.720 where I continued to choose repeatedly 569 00:39:49.720 --> 00:39:52.720 regardless of the physical manifestation 570 00:39:52.720 --> 00:39:54.680 or the emotional manifestation or whatever 571 00:39:54.680 --> 00:39:57.760 that no, it doesn't matter what my God said is true. 572 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.400 I don't care that it looks like. 573 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.720 the opposite is happening and that everybody else in my life 574 00:40:02.720 --> 00:40:04.320 is saying that the opposite is happening 575 00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.640 and that I am acting like a fool, God said. 576 00:40:07.640 --> 00:40:12.280 And I have done that repeatedly to the point where now, 577 00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.960 if God gives me the dies, God gives, 578 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.960 excuse me, God gives me huge desires of my heart, huge. 579 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:28.040 He gives me beyond what I desire 580 00:40:28.040 --> 00:40:32.040 because he's teaching me, no, Ashley, that's all you wanted? 581 00:40:32.040 --> 00:40:34.560 Mm-mm, I'll give you more than that, 582 00:40:34.560 --> 00:40:36.200 I'll give you more than that, I'll give you more than that. 583 00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:38.500 I wanna show you who it is that I am. 584 00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:41.560 So he gives me huge desires of my heart. 585 00:40:41.560 --> 00:40:44.520 So I, and I know in my relationship with him, 586 00:40:44.520 --> 00:40:47.120 not because he's manifested it and proved it to me, 587 00:40:47.120 --> 00:40:49.200 but how the relationship, 588 00:40:49.200 --> 00:40:51.680 how our relationship has developed, 589 00:40:51.680 --> 00:40:56.680 it has developed in such a way that now my focus 590 00:40:57.040 --> 00:40:58.800 is not on the desires of my heart, 591 00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.840 it's on how loving and how good my God is. 592 00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:03.600 Regardless of how all over here, 593 00:41:03.600 --> 00:41:05.760 the desires of my heart are being manifested 594 00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:08.520 and I'm enjoying them and I'm living in them, 595 00:41:08.520 --> 00:41:11.360 but the importance is what is that saying about my God 596 00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:13.540 and that is what my whole, so focus is. 597 00:41:13.540 --> 00:41:15.120 So that when the desire, 598 00:41:15.120 --> 00:41:18.760 what I think of as the desire of my heart doesn't manifest, 599 00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:22.800 I don't notice because it's not what I'm looking at anyway. 600 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:24.760 I'm still growing and learning in that, 601 00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:26.960 which is why I can still be triggered 602 00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:29.120 and I can still shift into fear. 603 00:41:29.120 --> 00:41:33.040 I'm just saying that I actually have seen this actually, 604 00:41:33.040 --> 00:41:37.240 I actually have lived this out to a particular measure 605 00:41:37.240 --> 00:41:39.160 and God is continuing to increase me 606 00:41:39.160 --> 00:41:41.960 about how much more good he is than I have 607 00:41:43.680 --> 00:41:47.660 as opposed to how I have accused him thus far. 608 00:41:50.600 --> 00:41:54.220 So anyway, so God wants to have will intention and desire. 609 00:41:54.260 --> 00:41:55.700 So how do we actually do this? 610 00:41:55.700 --> 00:41:57.180 Because it all sounds great. 611 00:41:57.180 --> 00:42:00.140 It sounds very, but it all sounds very esoterical. 612 00:42:00.140 --> 00:42:02.440 So how do we put hands and feet to this thing? 613 00:42:08.780 --> 00:42:09.620 Excuse me. 614 00:42:12.460 --> 00:42:15.340 For the sake of time, we're not gonna do an exercise, 615 00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:17.540 but I'll walk us through this 616 00:42:17.540 --> 00:42:18.940 and then I recommend that you go 617 00:42:18.940 --> 00:42:21.140 and do this on your own and begin to practice. 618 00:42:21.140 --> 00:42:22.980 This is one of the ways, 619 00:42:22.980 --> 00:42:25.180 some of the exercises that we have done, 620 00:42:25.180 --> 00:42:28.860 they've already began to teach us how to find our intention, 621 00:42:28.860 --> 00:42:30.980 especially that very first one where I said, 622 00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:32.880 you know, where we were learning how to focus, 623 00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:34.700 because when you intend to do something, 624 00:42:34.700 --> 00:42:37.220 you have to laser sharp focus in on something 625 00:42:37.220 --> 00:42:39.540 and determine that that thing is going to happen 626 00:42:39.540 --> 00:42:44.540 in order for it to actually happen. 627 00:42:44.580 --> 00:42:48.580 Meaning that your intention is to be sure. 628 00:42:49.580 --> 00:42:53.660 If your intention is sure, it can be the grain, 629 00:42:53.660 --> 00:42:56.660 it could be the size of a mustard seed. 630 00:42:56.660 --> 00:43:01.380 That's why God said that the faith of a mustard seed 631 00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:03.740 is all that's required to move mountains. 632 00:43:03.740 --> 00:43:06.620 The size doesn't matter. 633 00:43:06.620 --> 00:43:11.620 The power is in the intention of a son of God 634 00:43:11.660 --> 00:43:15.860 being sent forth, not in some size. 635 00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:17.220 Size doesn't matter. 636 00:43:17.220 --> 00:43:21.540 Size is completely irrelevant in the situation. 637 00:43:21.540 --> 00:43:22.780 That's why God was talking about, you know, 638 00:43:22.780 --> 00:43:24.700 the faith of a mustard seed. 639 00:43:24.700 --> 00:43:26.700 Part of faith that, 640 00:43:26.700 --> 00:43:28.180 because intention goes back to everything, 641 00:43:28.180 --> 00:43:31.140 in order to have part of our faith, 642 00:43:31.140 --> 00:43:33.420 especially when there's something that we had to let go of 643 00:43:33.420 --> 00:43:36.140 and had to release in order to choose God, right? 644 00:43:36.140 --> 00:43:38.380 And you're like, okay, well, it looks like the manifestation 645 00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:40.540 is exact opposite of what God's saying, 646 00:43:40.540 --> 00:43:43.920 so I'm having to make a painful struggle 647 00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:46.060 of a decision to actually choose. 648 00:43:46.100 --> 00:43:51.100 In that, in order to choose, we had to have intention. 649 00:43:51.100 --> 00:43:52.620 We're already acting in intention. 650 00:43:52.620 --> 00:43:54.740 The problem is that we're doing it on autopilot 651 00:43:54.740 --> 00:43:57.020 and we don't know what the heck the thing is, 652 00:43:57.020 --> 00:43:58.580 so we don't know how to control it. 653 00:43:58.580 --> 00:44:00.060 It's like a baby being born, you know, 654 00:44:00.060 --> 00:44:02.020 with arms and legs and flails it all around 655 00:44:02.020 --> 00:44:03.420 and doesn't know how to control its body 656 00:44:03.420 --> 00:44:04.500 and it's constant and then has, 657 00:44:04.500 --> 00:44:06.500 and it takes a while for it to learn, 658 00:44:07.420 --> 00:44:09.260 this is what I want to do. 659 00:44:09.260 --> 00:44:12.900 And then tells its arms and hands and fingers, 660 00:44:12.900 --> 00:44:15.100 do this, reach out and grab. 661 00:44:15.100 --> 00:44:18.340 That, he found his intention, that is intention, 662 00:44:18.340 --> 00:44:22.060 and he found his intention and he began to zero in on it. 663 00:44:22.060 --> 00:44:25.060 But, so we have to understand 664 00:44:25.060 --> 00:44:28.220 that we have to find that intention. 665 00:44:28.220 --> 00:44:30.420 Now we move our arms and hands and legs 666 00:44:30.420 --> 00:44:33.460 and all of that on autopilot that we don't know 667 00:44:33.460 --> 00:44:37.580 what's that thing in me that's actually intention 668 00:44:37.580 --> 00:44:40.780 so that I can grab it and direct it somewhere. 669 00:44:40.780 --> 00:44:44.220 We need to, because we need to know where it is 670 00:44:44.260 --> 00:44:46.300 and what it feels like so we can actually, 671 00:44:46.300 --> 00:44:48.860 when we make a determination, we can say, 672 00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:51.780 God has said this, I receive it, 673 00:44:51.780 --> 00:44:54.140 therefore God, let's together do it. 674 00:44:54.140 --> 00:44:57.540 How do you know, I mean, you can't go in that direction 675 00:44:57.540 --> 00:44:59.340 if you don't know your intention, 676 00:44:59.340 --> 00:45:00.940 if you don't know where it is. 677 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.660 where your intention is, you can't direct it. 678 00:45:02.660 --> 00:45:04.140 So it's very important to be able to, 679 00:45:04.140 --> 00:45:05.940 quote unquote, isolate it. 680 00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:10.040 Figure out what is that thing in me that's intention, 681 00:45:10.040 --> 00:45:13.020 so I can zero in on it and point it towards something 682 00:45:13.020 --> 00:45:14.900 if I want somebody's healing. 683 00:45:14.900 --> 00:45:18.400 That is how people are healed, 684 00:45:19.340 --> 00:45:23.740 is others have found their intention 685 00:45:23.740 --> 00:45:25.900 and they're choosing in that intention, 686 00:45:25.900 --> 00:45:28.780 having faith that receives the word of God, 687 00:45:28.820 --> 00:45:30.460 saying that we have all been healed 688 00:45:30.460 --> 00:45:33.180 and that God desire, meaning healed in the spirit, 689 00:45:33.180 --> 00:45:36.300 and that God desires all of creation 690 00:45:36.300 --> 00:45:38.260 to manifest the healing. 691 00:45:38.260 --> 00:45:40.080 In other words, manifest order. 692 00:45:41.500 --> 00:45:46.500 And so they receive that word and then someone is healed. 693 00:45:48.660 --> 00:45:53.660 So word combined with the seed of faith 694 00:45:53.860 --> 00:45:58.860 that simply receives actually creates, 695 00:46:01.660 --> 00:46:03.460 is what causes healing. 696 00:46:05.100 --> 00:46:07.900 You know, you wonder why you haven't been healed 697 00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:09.900 or someone else hasn't been healed or whatever. 698 00:46:09.900 --> 00:46:12.060 And like, well, if God could heal them 699 00:46:12.060 --> 00:46:15.220 and wanted them healed, then he would have by now. 700 00:46:15.220 --> 00:46:18.100 No, that's like, do this thing with me. 701 00:46:18.100 --> 00:46:19.100 You can do this. 702 00:46:19.100 --> 00:46:21.760 Mine is the heavens, I gave the earth to you. 703 00:46:22.600 --> 00:46:24.280 You do it. 704 00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:27.180 Stop asking me to do the things that I told you, 705 00:46:27.180 --> 00:46:30.280 I gave you the ability to, and then I commanded you, 706 00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:31.360 go and do. 707 00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:33.440 He commanded his disciples to heal, 708 00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:35.280 and I'm just using healing as an example. 709 00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.160 He commanded his disciples to heal 710 00:46:38.160 --> 00:46:41.640 and sent them out by themselves without him 711 00:46:41.640 --> 00:46:43.760 to heal and to cast out demons 712 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:45.640 before Jesus ever died on the cross. 713 00:46:46.640 --> 00:46:51.640 Healing was here on earth before Jesus died, 714 00:46:53.520 --> 00:46:57.440 but there's an aspect of the fact that it was still under, 715 00:46:57.440 --> 00:46:59.000 everything was still subject to decay, 716 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:00.120 subject to death, whatever. 717 00:47:00.120 --> 00:47:03.040 So by Jesus's stripes, we were healed 718 00:47:03.040 --> 00:47:04.720 and we could all claim healing. 719 00:47:04.720 --> 00:47:07.080 But anyway, God wants to mature us to the point. 720 00:47:07.080 --> 00:47:09.080 He's like, do this thing with me. 721 00:47:09.080 --> 00:47:13.100 Make creation, including the redemption of your bodies, 722 00:47:13.100 --> 00:47:16.580 the hope for which we were saved in Romans eight, 723 00:47:16.580 --> 00:47:19.460 make it visible, make it happen. 724 00:47:19.460 --> 00:47:21.340 Let's do this thing. 725 00:47:21.340 --> 00:47:22.560 That's creating. 726 00:47:23.540 --> 00:47:25.860 So we need to have that intention 727 00:47:25.860 --> 00:47:28.380 that we'll be able to decide. 728 00:47:28.380 --> 00:47:29.780 And we need to be able to, 729 00:47:29.780 --> 00:47:31.980 so in order to start all of this, 730 00:47:31.980 --> 00:47:34.260 we need to be, excuse me, 731 00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:37.700 we need to be able to, excuse me, 732 00:47:37.700 --> 00:47:41.300 we need to be able to isolate it so we can direct it. 733 00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:43.660 So just some ideas to kind of think about. 734 00:47:43.660 --> 00:47:46.160 Like I said, that first exercise that we did, 735 00:47:47.540 --> 00:47:49.340 I think it was the first night. 736 00:47:49.340 --> 00:47:50.620 No, it was the second day, sorry. 737 00:47:50.620 --> 00:47:52.620 The second day we focused on the light. 738 00:47:58.420 --> 00:48:00.780 Focused on that light in order to teach us 739 00:48:00.780 --> 00:48:03.540 that we are not subject to our environment. 740 00:48:03.540 --> 00:48:08.380 We have an authority and can exert our own will. 741 00:48:09.300 --> 00:48:10.820 That's what you were doing in that exercise. 742 00:48:11.340 --> 00:48:12.660 You were practicing, 743 00:48:12.660 --> 00:48:15.420 determining what it is that you wanted to do 744 00:48:15.420 --> 00:48:19.140 and insisting that everything about you went with it. 745 00:48:20.300 --> 00:48:24.060 So we're starting to kind of identify our intention. 746 00:48:24.060 --> 00:48:26.900 Another thing that's very important with intention 747 00:48:26.900 --> 00:48:28.740 when learning about it, 748 00:48:28.740 --> 00:48:30.380 when learning how to isolate it, 749 00:48:31.220 --> 00:48:32.940 is to be present. 750 00:48:32.940 --> 00:48:36.100 We do not realize how much we disassociate in life. 751 00:48:36.100 --> 00:48:38.500 There's a lot in which currently 752 00:48:38.500 --> 00:48:40.900 all of us are disassociating from this room 753 00:48:40.900 --> 00:48:43.100 and disassociating from this environment. 754 00:48:43.980 --> 00:48:46.940 And we don't realize that we're doing it. 755 00:48:48.260 --> 00:48:50.020 That's why when you hear, 756 00:48:50.020 --> 00:48:52.860 sorry to bring up this example, 757 00:48:52.860 --> 00:48:57.260 but you remember how we all watch movies or whatever, 758 00:48:57.260 --> 00:48:59.760 or maybe you've been to these types of yoga classes 759 00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:04.020 where they talk about, okay, focus on your breath. 760 00:49:04.020 --> 00:49:06.140 Now feel this. 761 00:49:06.140 --> 00:49:07.660 Now what do you smell? 762 00:49:07.660 --> 00:49:08.980 Now what do you whatever, what is it doing? 763 00:49:08.980 --> 00:49:11.540 The whole point is bring you back to the present. 764 00:49:11.540 --> 00:49:14.780 Take you out from the fact that we're always disassociating 765 00:49:14.780 --> 00:49:17.220 from wherever it is that we are. 766 00:49:17.220 --> 00:49:18.580 We think that we're thinking about it. 767 00:49:18.580 --> 00:49:19.860 Well, I know I'm in a room 768 00:49:19.860 --> 00:49:21.140 and I know I'm with all these people, 769 00:49:21.140 --> 00:49:22.860 so obviously I'm present. 770 00:49:22.860 --> 00:49:25.780 You know, I'm not thinking about my house right now. 771 00:49:25.780 --> 00:49:27.300 I'm thinking about right now. 772 00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:29.140 But there's an aspect in which 773 00:49:29.140 --> 00:49:31.500 we're disassociating from the table. 774 00:49:31.500 --> 00:49:35.900 You're disassociating from what your clothes feel like 775 00:49:35.900 --> 00:49:37.660 because you're so used to it. 776 00:49:37.660 --> 00:49:40.780 So a way to start zeroing in a bit more on our intention 777 00:49:40.780 --> 00:49:45.100 is to practice stopping periodically and being present. 778 00:49:45.100 --> 00:49:46.020 Feel things. 779 00:49:48.580 --> 00:49:53.060 It's almost like make a connection with you, 780 00:49:53.060 --> 00:49:54.840 with a different aspect of you. 781 00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:56.300 Your body's still you. 782 00:49:56.300 --> 00:50:00.060 Yeah, the state of our identity is in our spirit, but you know. 783 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.340 It's still, we're still unified with our body, and you connect with it, 784 00:50:04.340 --> 00:50:06.760 and then you connect with how it is that you feel. 785 00:50:07.040 --> 00:50:15.300 Don't, a lot of things that we, a lot of ways that we disassociate with is how we feel. 786 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:21.080 If we feel a particular way, we think we shouldn't feel that way, and we try to get out of it, 787 00:50:21.080 --> 00:50:28.320 or we try to ignore that we're feeling that way, and we try to act like we're not feeling that way. 788 00:50:30.040 --> 00:50:34.140 It's, your feelings are there whether or not you're paying attention to them. 789 00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:36.360 Pay attention to them. 790 00:50:36.700 --> 00:50:37.860 Give honor to your feelings. 791 00:50:38.300 --> 00:50:41.240 They will go away faster, and you will deal with them faster, 792 00:50:41.240 --> 00:50:44.520 especially if they're things like anger, grief, whatever. 793 00:50:44.900 --> 00:50:49.040 You will deal with them faster if you honor and acknowledge them. 794 00:50:49.500 --> 00:50:53.520 Your soul is crying out for attention. 795 00:50:54.560 --> 00:50:55.500 It's like a child. 796 00:50:55.780 --> 00:50:58.100 It's just yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap. 797 00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:01.880 So, and that's what those emotions are, and that's why you're like, why won't these emotions stop? 798 00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:02.980 Why can't I get over this? 799 00:51:02.980 --> 00:51:05.480 Why, you know, how long was this going to, this thing last? 800 00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:08.280 No matter how hard I try, I can't get over my anger, da, da, da, da. 801 00:51:08.720 --> 00:51:11.580 It's because we're continually trying to disassociate from it, 802 00:51:11.640 --> 00:51:15.720 thinking that that's actually, that we're actually doing a good thing and believing God. 803 00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:19.820 Disassociating from it and denying reality doesn't ever help anything. 804 00:51:20.820 --> 00:51:26.740 Allow your soul to have it say, honor your feeling, and by honor it, I don't mean think, 805 00:51:26.940 --> 00:51:30.120 oh, this is a good thing that I'm feeling angry in this situation, 806 00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:33.620 because the situation that you're in may not be a good reason to be angry. 807 00:51:33.620 --> 00:51:37.280 And your anger might actually be manifestation of the fact that you're in, 808 00:51:37.540 --> 00:51:40.280 that you're in sin of unbelief, because you've got some accusation 809 00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:42.980 about God believing you're abandoned and alone in that moment, and you're angry. 810 00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:46.900 You know, but that, that, that, you know, that, that's neither here nor there. 811 00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:48.000 You are angry. 812 00:51:49.120 --> 00:51:50.140 That is you. 813 00:51:51.600 --> 00:51:56.340 There's nothing wrong with you, and there's nothing wrong with you while you're angry. 814 00:51:57.520 --> 00:51:58.680 There's nothing wrong with you. 815 00:51:59.060 --> 00:51:59.740 You're not evil. 816 00:51:59.740 --> 00:52:00.600 You're not wicked. 817 00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:01.500 You're not bad. 818 00:52:01.720 --> 00:52:02.480 You're not condemned. 819 00:52:03.140 --> 00:52:05.400 So if you're angry, think, you know, focus on that. 820 00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:10.680 Okay. Because once you focus on a child and give them the attention, they stop yapping. 821 00:52:11.780 --> 00:52:14.220 But they're going to yap until you give them the attention. 822 00:52:14.220 --> 00:52:15.660 The soul is like a child. 823 00:52:15.660 --> 00:52:21.380 Remember, our soul is being matured, and then, and then our spirit is like a parent or like a king. 824 00:52:22.380 --> 00:52:29.120 You know, so that, so the, it's, it's important to, to allow something by, 825 00:52:29.120 --> 00:52:33.660 but when I say honor, I don't mean honor like it's in, like I mentioned earlier. 826 00:52:33.660 --> 00:52:38.520 I don't mean honor like it, and think that it's good, or declare over it. 827 00:52:38.520 --> 00:52:42.320 Oh, you are a good thing, and this is good that you're angry right now. 828 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:43.380 And I don't mean that. 829 00:52:43.680 --> 00:52:47.520 I mean honor it by, by treating it with dignity. 830 00:52:48.520 --> 00:52:51.820 It's trying to talk, and it's valuable. 831 00:52:52.140 --> 00:52:54.840 Show it that it's valuable by letting it talk. 832 00:52:55.940 --> 00:53:02.520 It will have its say, and after it's had its say, it will quiet down and go away. 833 00:53:03.780 --> 00:53:05.660 It's really weird how that works, but it does. 834 00:53:05.720 --> 00:53:09.360 We'll be talking about that in just, in just a little bit when we talk about making decisions. 835 00:53:09.900 --> 00:53:15.680 But letting your soul have its say first and quiet so that you can finally hear the voice of the Lord. 836 00:53:15.700 --> 00:53:19.400 What else did I want to say about that? 837 00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:20.900 I think that that's it. 838 00:53:20.900 --> 00:53:24.300 I just wanted to say, you know, as a, as a practice, I recommend, you know, 839 00:53:24.300 --> 00:53:28.140 you stop periodically and, and, and practice bringing yourself back to the present. 840 00:53:28.560 --> 00:53:30.240 How do I emotionally feel at the moment? 841 00:53:30.240 --> 00:53:32.240 You know, I can feel the floor. 842 00:53:32.240 --> 00:53:33.420 I can feel my shoes. 843 00:53:33.420 --> 00:53:35.160 I can feel what fabric everything is made of. 844 00:53:35.160 --> 00:53:39.580 Just kind of connect with things, because, because your body is you. 845 00:53:39.580 --> 00:53:44.300 We don't want to dissociate from our body, because whatever it is that we disassociate from, 846 00:53:45.220 --> 00:53:49.920 there's no reason, it's no wonder that it feels abandoned and alone. 847 00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:51.980 We're always trying to disassociate from it. 848 00:53:52.900 --> 00:53:53.860 We are abandoning it. 849 00:53:54.140 --> 00:53:55.040 Stop abandoning it. 850 00:53:55.180 --> 00:53:56.220 Stop abandoning yourself. 851 00:53:56.220 --> 00:53:57.040 Nothing's wrong with you. 852 00:53:57.040 --> 00:53:58.720 There's no part of you that there's anything wrong with. 853 00:53:59.720 --> 00:54:02.080 And, and start making connections with it. 854 00:54:02.080 --> 00:54:03.540 You will like yourself more. 855 00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:06.140 You will enjoy yourself more. 856 00:54:06.720 --> 00:54:13.840 You will, in, in fact, several years ago, my past, I had a, I was at a church, I don't know, 857 00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:15.760 just eight, nine years ago, something like that. 858 00:54:16.100 --> 00:54:21.420 And my pastor spoke from the pulpit, and he said, and he said, Ashley, all the way in the back. 859 00:54:21.420 --> 00:54:23.580 Because I used to worship in the back, because I needed lots of room. 860 00:54:24.140 --> 00:54:30.460 And, and, and he would say, Ashley, way in the back. 861 00:54:30.460 --> 00:54:35.380 He said, God very rarely gives me prophecies about people, but God told me something. 862 00:54:35.940 --> 00:54:42.360 He said for me to tell you that he wants you to take the phrase, you are fearfully 863 00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:45.220 and wonderfully made, and he said he wants you to flip them. 864 00:54:46.080 --> 00:54:51.040 Because he says that, that you are, what did he say? 865 00:54:51.700 --> 00:54:57.220 You are constantly wish, thinking that something's wrong with you, 866 00:54:57.600 --> 00:55:00.060 and wishing that you acted different. 867 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.960 were different and acted more like other people or something like that. In other 868 00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:11.700 words, that something was wrong with you. He said, God has said to tell you to take 869 00:55:11.700 --> 00:55:16.080 that verse, you're fearfully and wonderfully made, flip it and say you are 870 00:55:16.080 --> 00:55:20.840 and know that I'm declaring over you, you are wonderfully and 871 00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:27.120 fearfully made. For in understanding how wonderful that you are, that is how you 872 00:55:27.120 --> 00:55:35.480 will come to know me. Again, enjoyment of the bride. This is an expression of the 873 00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:39.400 goodness of God. This is an aspect of what the goodness of God looks like when 874 00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:46.520 it's been made visible in creation. So I have to figure out what is that and so 875 00:55:46.520 --> 00:55:50.280 as I become more familiar with it, there's something in my soul and in my 876 00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:57.880 spirit that realizes, oh, okay, so this is what my body is, this is what my soul is, 877 00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:01.920 this is what it thinks, this is how it feels, this is the its opinions. Okay, 878 00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:05.960 that's very interesting and we see all of the nuances and the depth and breadth 879 00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:10.360 and all of that. We also become more familiar with our spirit and from that 880 00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:16.320 we realize you learn about the Creator by looking at the creation, so 881 00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:20.000 to speak, in the fact that we're not saying that creation tells us the truth 882 00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:24.320 about whether God is love or goodness, you know, as far as like whether or not 883 00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:29.280 we're supposed to have faith. I mean in the fact that God even says in the Bible, 884 00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:34.920 he said, look at creation and you will know me. He said, I made it as a visible 885 00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:40.080 expression of me. It may act in chaos that's not like me, but a camel 886 00:56:40.080 --> 00:56:48.000 is amazing and a lily is amazing and birds, I made them so that 887 00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:54.640 they can fly and defy gravity. That is me. You learn about who it is that I am, 888 00:56:54.640 --> 00:56:58.600 you learn that I am a God of variety, that I am very creative, that I am good 889 00:56:58.600 --> 00:57:01.680 because I take care of the sparrows while nobody else even knows 890 00:57:01.680 --> 00:57:08.600 they're alive. He even said that he rains in the desert in order to 891 00:57:08.600 --> 00:57:15.600 take care of animals that we don't even know exist, so he said, look at creation 892 00:57:15.640 --> 00:57:20.160 in that aspect. He said, and then he said, and you'll learn about me. He said the 893 00:57:20.160 --> 00:57:25.200 same thing and he told me that. He said, Ashley, stop thinking that you're 894 00:57:25.200 --> 00:57:28.880 bad and trying to get away from yourself and trying to change yourself and 895 00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:33.240 thinking that you're bad and like, I'm so sorry God. You know, if I am, 896 00:57:33.240 --> 00:57:37.960 I need to be different. I need to be different. I need to change and 897 00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:42.160 whatever. God said, no, no, no. Learn who it is that you are and then discover that 898 00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:46.760 and you'll realize that is a good thing and therefore you'll know that the 899 00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:52.960 creator of that thing must be really, really good. So he said, you will 900 00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:56.840 come to understand by understanding that you are wonderfully made, you will come 901 00:57:56.840 --> 00:58:04.120 to fear me. Fear is actually not fear as in being afraid. Fear is 902 00:58:04.120 --> 00:58:16.480 intimacy with the Lord. Okay, so we're gonna have a 10-minute break and, okay, 903 00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:26.200 so it is 2.42, so let's meet up at 2.55. So let's do that at 2.55 and then 904 00:58:26.200 --> 00:58:31.600 we're gonna talk about goals, dreams, and visions. After that, by the way, and 905 00:58:31.600 --> 00:58:36.680 that's going to be our last session, but as an additional session, what we're 906 00:58:36.680 --> 00:58:44.680 going to do is we are going to have a testimony time. Nobody has to, but I was 907 00:58:44.680 --> 00:58:52.560 wondering, I would really, what it is that you have experienced with 908 00:58:52.560 --> 00:59:02.760 the Lord in your own relationship with him is, it can be, will be extremely 909 00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:10.560 encouraging to the rest of the body of Christ and it will build their faith and 910 00:59:10.560 --> 00:59:19.440 so I have, you know, in my coaching program, I encourage people to 911 00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:23.120 post their testimonies whenever something happens where they believe the 912 00:59:23.120 --> 00:59:27.600 character of the Lord and stood on that regardless of what it looked like, 913 00:59:27.600 --> 00:59:32.480 things were manifesting. If God said it, I'm gonna choose it's true and then I 914 00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:37.040 ask them, you know, will you please give those testimonies of when they actually 915 00:59:37.040 --> 00:59:40.920 see the character of God manifest in such a way that their faith grows and they're 916 00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:49.040 like, see, my God really is like that and that their belief in God helped manifest 917 00:59:49.040 --> 00:59:53.400 the proof that he was who they already first believed that he was. They had to 918 00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:57.480 believe it first before it could actually manifest. I actually had a 919 00:59:57.480 --> 01:00:01.960 prophetic dream about that three nights ago. 920 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.500 And I was trying to understand, I was like, Lord, what does this prophetic dream mean? 921 01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:06.860 And he said, sorry, let me look it up. 922 01:00:07.640 --> 01:00:13.000 And he said that, oh, I'm looking at the wrong thing. 923 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:25.040 He said that we're being urged to stop limiting what we experience as being only natural causes 924 01:00:25.240 --> 01:00:27.340 and continually dismissing things. 925 01:00:27.340 --> 01:00:30.700 Oh, well, you know, that was probably just the air conditioner turning on, 926 01:00:30.700 --> 01:00:32.760 and that's why I got goosebumps. 927 01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:33.900 That wasn't the Holy Spirit. 928 01:00:33.900 --> 01:00:34.680 That wasn't me. 929 01:00:35.080 --> 01:00:36.000 That wasn't me shifting. 930 01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:37.260 That wasn't me feeling my spirit. 931 01:00:37.260 --> 01:00:39.360 That wasn't me whatever, you know, whatever we might say. 932 01:00:39.720 --> 01:00:41.280 And just using that as an example. 933 01:00:41.640 --> 01:00:45.860 Urge us to stop limiting what we experience as being only natural causes 934 01:00:45.860 --> 01:00:49.660 and instead choose that it is supernatural. 935 01:00:50.100 --> 01:00:52.160 Because in the dream, I was seeing something. 936 01:00:52.160 --> 01:00:57.640 I was seeing what, I was looking up at the clouds, and the clouds, 937 01:00:58.260 --> 01:00:59.640 you know how the clouds will take shape? 938 01:00:59.900 --> 01:01:02.140 Well, they were taking shape, and I thought, okay, wait a minute. 939 01:01:02.220 --> 01:01:09.900 That looks really real, but I can't figure out, is that a cloud that just looks like that shape? 940 01:01:10.420 --> 01:01:13.640 Or is that, am I actually looking into another realm? 941 01:01:13.640 --> 01:01:14.740 And this was in my dream. 942 01:01:14.740 --> 01:01:19.040 It was like the clouds parted, and I could see this other world in there. 943 01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:22.440 And so, I thought, well, I don't know. 944 01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:28.080 So, what it is that I did is, in the dream, I and the people I was with, 945 01:01:28.080 --> 01:01:29.260 I was just with a group of people. 946 01:01:29.260 --> 01:01:32.480 I don't know who they were, but with a group of people, maybe they were all y'all. 947 01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:32.900 I don't know. 948 01:01:32.900 --> 01:01:35.780 We were always with a group of people, and we were looking at all that, and we were going, 949 01:01:35.780 --> 01:01:39.200 I don't know, is that natural, or is that supernatural? 950 01:01:40.140 --> 01:01:41.380 And so, what are we doing? 951 01:01:41.380 --> 01:01:42.220 We're waiting for proof. 952 01:01:42.220 --> 01:01:43.520 We're waiting for it to prove. 953 01:01:43.520 --> 01:01:48.260 What can we see that will prove to us whether it's natural or supernatural? 954 01:01:49.040 --> 01:01:56.400 And so, in the dream, I was like, mm-mm, I want to believe that my God is as loving 955 01:01:56.400 --> 01:02:01.980 and as good and as supernatural and as amazing as he is. 956 01:02:02.340 --> 01:02:09.800 So, not knowing whether I'm right or wrong, I'm going to choose that that actually is supernatural 957 01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:14.880 because what I am, this is what we're about to talk about in a second. 958 01:02:15.180 --> 01:02:19.380 I am looking for the character of my God, and I believe it's there. 959 01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:25.100 And as soon as I determined in the dream that that thing was actually supernatural, 960 01:02:25.460 --> 01:02:28.060 it actually became very, very clear. 961 01:02:29.200 --> 01:02:35.200 And it was very obvious, and in no uncertain terms, that it was a real city in another realm. 962 01:02:35.940 --> 01:02:37.140 And this, again, was the dream. 963 01:02:37.200 --> 01:02:40.640 So, you know, I'm seeing, like, clouds, and I'm looking into another realm. 964 01:02:41.140 --> 01:02:46.260 But it wouldn't be, it was, like, fuzzy, and you know how clouds don't look perfectly shaped. 965 01:02:46.300 --> 01:02:47.340 They don't have straight lines. 966 01:02:47.340 --> 01:02:52.060 So, you kind of get this idea, kind of like a Van Gogh impressionistic idea of, like, 967 01:02:52.060 --> 01:02:55.380 some kind of a thing going on, and that's what was going on. 968 01:02:55.460 --> 01:03:03.000 And then, as soon as I determined, no, no, I'm going to believe my God before he tells me. 969 01:03:03.680 --> 01:03:07.060 I'm going to believe and risk in something, believing that that is his word. 970 01:03:07.660 --> 01:03:11.720 And I am going to receive it first, and then he can guide me as a good father 971 01:03:11.720 --> 01:03:13.340 and let me know whether or not I'm right. 972 01:03:14.640 --> 01:03:17.460 So, it's like you're making a guess, only you're risking your life on it. 973 01:03:18.940 --> 01:03:21.960 So, because you think that that's God's word. 974 01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:24.160 You're not picking whatever it is that you want to risk your life on. 975 01:03:24.160 --> 01:03:26.500 You're finding, where do I hear or feel God's word? 976 01:03:26.500 --> 01:03:31.840 So, I felt God's word, and I was like, you know what, I actually am going to choose to believe, 977 01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:33.120 and I'm going to stop doubting. 978 01:03:33.720 --> 01:03:36.240 I'm going to choose to believe that actually is supernatural. 979 01:03:36.580 --> 01:03:41.180 And as soon as I did, it revealed itself, and it made itself so clear 980 01:03:41.180 --> 01:03:43.440 that it was a city in another realm. 981 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:49.020 But I had to choose first before it would feel safe enough with me to actually reveal itself. 982 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:52.180 A lot of times, that's the way people see angels. 983 01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:55.820 If you, some people have just seen angels their whole lives. 984 01:03:56.260 --> 01:03:57.220 I think that's amazing. 985 01:03:57.320 --> 01:03:58.080 That would be wonderful. 986 01:03:58.820 --> 01:04:01.020 I am not aware that I've seen an angel. 987 01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:02.820 People see them in different forms. 988 01:04:02.820 --> 01:04:05.860 Some people see them as like orbs and, you know, like, in other words, 989 01:04:05.860 --> 01:04:09.580 like a blue light, or there's a blue light in the corner, or there's a whatever. 990 01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:12.400 Other people, there was a lady that I talked to just recently, 991 01:04:12.780 --> 01:04:16.920 literally sees them like holograms everywhere. 992 01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:20.780 In fact, I was with her, and she looked at me, and she said, by the way, your angel says hi. 993 01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:24.080 Really? She said, yeah. 994 01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:29.600 So, anyway, I was like, okay, I've never had anybody tell me that they've seen my angel. 995 01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:35.140 But my point in saying that, while some people just seem to just kind of come by it naturally 996 01:04:35.160 --> 01:04:36.980 because they haven't squelched it and suppressed it. 997 01:04:36.980 --> 01:04:40.060 Me, apparently, you know, I squelched it and suppressed it, and now I don't know how to see them. 998 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:48.440 They say that in order to start seeing them is there, is to actually acknowledge that they're there. 999 01:04:49.940 --> 01:04:53.240 You don't know where they are, but remember, they're spirits. 1000 01:04:53.240 --> 01:04:56.420 So, you just, God says that he's given us angels. 1001 01:04:56.840 --> 01:04:59.680 He's, you know, we'll send his angels, you know, as. 1002 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:05.400 over thee and he sends ministering angels and there's cherubim and there's seraphim, 1003 01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:09.640 there's all kinds of angels it talks about in the Bible. So he's the one who said it 1004 01:05:09.640 --> 01:05:14.400 first so we can believe that there are angels and he says that angels have appeared to people 1005 01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:21.960 both in the Old Testament as well as I believe in the New Testament. But anyway, I mean, 1006 01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:26.880 I don't doubt at all that there are angels and I've never seen one, but I'm not getting 1007 01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:32.120 to see them. So I was always wondering, how do you do that? And I've been told what you 1008 01:05:32.120 --> 01:05:38.360 do is you have to acknowledge them first so that you believe in them and that you're honoring 1009 01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:46.100 them, not serving them. Honoring, treating with dignity as opposed to disassociating 1010 01:05:46.100 --> 01:05:52.240 and ignoring and disregarding. And they said that, and then they recommended, you know, 1011 01:05:52.240 --> 01:05:57.800 talking to them and whatever. And so I've tried that. I've tried to do that, you know, 1012 01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:05.920 periodically. And anyway, I was actually told recently by someone, someone said something. 1013 01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:09.880 They said, Ashley, God told me they had no idea that I've been wanting to see angels. 1014 01:06:09.880 --> 01:06:13.920 They had no idea. This is somebody who didn't know me from Adam. They actually hardly, they 1015 01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:21.040 didn't even know my name. And they told me, they said, Ashley, by the way, you know, I 1016 01:06:21.040 --> 01:06:24.640 know you're visiting here, here at church. Well, they didn't say Ashley, but they were 1017 01:06:24.640 --> 01:06:30.480 like, I just want to let you know, God has said that you will get to see into the spirit 1018 01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:36.160 realm and you will get to see angels. And I'm like, I have been asking for that. And 1019 01:06:36.160 --> 01:06:42.640 they had no idea. So, so in other words, we can do this thing. My whole point of this 1020 01:06:42.640 --> 01:06:47.560 whole thing is that these are God's, these are things that God has said in his word that 1021 01:06:47.560 --> 01:06:53.240 he gives to us. So how do we begin to experience it? Any of them, whether you're talking about 1022 01:06:53.240 --> 01:06:57.880 visibly seeing something like an angel, or you're talking about seeing something manifest 1023 01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:03.520 into your life, like a desire of your heart or a business or a goal or a dream or whatever, 1024 01:07:03.520 --> 01:07:10.720 whatever it is, we actually have to acknowledge the truth of it first before it manifests. 1025 01:07:10.720 --> 01:07:17.720 We have to have the faith first and remember faith without acting on it and risking ourselves, 1026 01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:25.760 including our emotions and our, and, and the risk of disappointment, that's worse. That's 1027 01:07:26.640 --> 01:07:33.640 real faith. And then things who began to reveal themselves to us, revelations of the Lord, 1028 01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:39.440 new things, new things that new, you want to learn the Lord in greater intimacy. You 1029 01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:44.120 want more revelation of scripture and, well, I don't know what, what does Matthew 8 really 1030 01:07:44.120 --> 01:07:50.160 mean? And you want those types of things from the Lord. You have to believe it first and 1031 01:07:50.160 --> 01:07:54.760 you have to believe it's your inheritance and you have to move forward to it, move forward 1032 01:07:54.760 --> 01:08:01.760 in anticipation and expectation as opposed to not expecting it. Something that you don't 1033 01:08:02.160 --> 01:08:07.120 expect. I mean, like very clearly, like God said that you can't expect it. You're like, 1034 01:08:07.120 --> 01:08:12.880 oh, I'm afraid of being disappointed, so I'm not going to expect it. Expectation, it's 1035 01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:16.760 waiting on your expectation. In other words, on your anticipation, because expectation 1036 01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:23.760 and anticipation is part of, part of faith. So whole lot there. So we'll take a, so we're 1037 01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:30.240 not going to be able to get back at 2.50, 2.55, but hey, you got a, you got a real fun 1038 01:08:30.240 --> 01:08:36.240 story about angels. So we'll get back together at 3.05, 3.05, talk about goals, dreams, and 1039 01:08:36.760 --> 01:08:40.880 visions. And then we'll have, after that we'll have a break and then we'll have testimony 1040 01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:46.720 time. Depending on how that goes, we might also have a Q and A in there. If anybody has 1041 01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:51.120 any questions, nobody may have questions. You may feel like you've been drinking from 1042 01:08:51.120 --> 01:08:55.240 a fire hose and you're just like, Ashley, I'm still back at, you know, Thursday night 1043 01:08:55.240 --> 01:09:01.399 at 7.05. I don't know what you've said since then. It's just all a wash. But if you have 1044 01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:05.399 any questions, hopefully we'll have some time for Q and A, but I would, I wanted to let 1045 01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:11.319 you know about the testimony time ahead of time. I know that it might feel vulnerable 1046 01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:15.800 to actually mention, you know, speaking to the microphone and all of that. Now you don't 1047 01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:18.560 have to move. You know, you can stay where you are. I can take the microphone to you, 1048 01:09:18.560 --> 01:09:25.560 but I would really, really ask you to see if you, if you can, can give of yourself invulnerability 1049 01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:34.800 and share something of, of, of, of your, your experience with the Lord and, and, and, and 1050 01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:38.840 maybe something that you've, that you've experienced in a vision or a dream while you 1051 01:09:38.840 --> 01:09:43.160 were here, because y'all have shared them with me privately, so I know of them. Some 1052 01:09:43.160 --> 01:09:48.520 of you haven't shared things privately with me. Some of you have. You absolutely do not 1053 01:09:48.520 --> 01:09:52.920 have to. You absolutely do not have to. It is your, it is your free will. I just wanted 1054 01:09:52.920 --> 01:09:57.760 to let you know of the value of what it is that you have, and it is very, very important. 1055 01:09:57.760 --> 01:09:59.960 And you speaking it can actually 1056 01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:06.600 transform someone else's life, because you're a son of God speaking what it is that you owned and you experienced with your God 1057 01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:12.720 so it's of spirit. So anyway, if you would like to, you are welcome to, you do not have to. If people do not have a 1058 01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:18.160 lot of testimonies, then we would have time for Q&A. Whenever those are done, we will close the conference. 1059 01:10:18.160 --> 01:10:20.160 So anyway, we'll meet back here at 3.05.
