Hey everybody, so I am at a local coffee shop and I was thinking about y'all, I was
thinking about our conversation last night and some of the things that you
know people have been bringing up recently about you know just where it is
that they are in their journey right now and so I wanted to jump in and then just
encourage everybody to just be where it is that you are and to accept yourself
there, to understand that you are already fine with the Lord, you are already
accepted, you are already perfect, you are fully loved and and completely and
100% unconditionally received by God without having to change. Remember that
you're not, you're not getting something more of God or becoming anything more or
different by doing anything, by shifting into rest, by obeying him in something, by
believing something, by choosing something. You're not gaining anything,
you've already gained it, you're already there. So just rest, just choose yourself,
choose that meaning light, just allow yourself. I don't mean choose as in like
on my word something I have to do, oh my goodness you know I'm not doing it so I
need to do this. No, just allow yourself to be yourself, just accept yourself
where it is that you are, accept you'll feel a negative feeling and fully accept
yourself. Just enjoy you being you, enjoy the dreams that come up, enjoy the
feelings and the desires that come up. Remember that you're the new man, who it
is that you are is your spirit, it's not your soul. So you are not your beliefs,
you're not what your soul is believing about God or not believing about God. You
are your spirit who always believes your father, who always loves your father, who
always receives all of the love from your father. That is who you are, you're
not your feelings, your feelings aren't indicating to you or telling you and
revealing to you who it is that you are. They are simply revealing what it is
that your spirits believing, but you're not, I'm sorry your spirit is believing
what your soul is believing, that's all that your feelings are
doing. They're revealing what your soul is believing, but you are not your soul.
So remember, you're not your beliefs, you're much deeper than that. You exist
at a much higher value and are defined by something much more, much deeper and
much more spiritual than what it is that you believe. So don't be thrown off by or
threatened by or disturbed by or bothered by what it is that you're
believing right now, by what it is that you're choosing, by what it is that you
haven't chosen. Just allow yourself to be you because here's the thing, your soul
and your body are afraid of you. They're afraid of your spirit, not because it has
any reason to be. They're afraid of them because they feel that they can't trust
their spirit. They feel that you won't fully love and accept them. So fully
love and accept it. Fully love and receive them. Hey Liberty!
Fully love and receive who it is that you are. Prove to your soul and your body
that your spirit is a safe place for it. Prove it by being it. Prove by being the
safe place where they can come to with all of their messiness and all of their
temper tantrums and all of their fear and all their worry and that yappy voice
that we've talked about. You know that the soul I have of like oh my goodness
you know well you know what about this and what about that and you know why are
you doing this to me and why am I like this and you know why is God doing this
to me and just allow it to have its say and be a safe place for it to be messy.
Be a safe place for it to be loved and accepted for where it is that it is with
without ever having to change. So allow yourself to be so your spirit and your
spirit receive yourself as you are without ever requiring yourself to
change. Period. For a while don't worry about shifting into rest meaning like
whatever that means to you you know whatever
you're thinking, oh my word it's something I've got to do, at some place
I'm not there yet, I haven't done it yet, you know, I haven't chosen something
apparently, you know, just let go of all of that because shifting into
rest is something that people have been doing for thousands of years with the
Lord without knowing what they were doing. So there's not something that you
have to worry that you're missing, that you have to figure out that's hard, that
you've got to do, oh my word, a little more effort, a little more exertion, just
just a little bit more to actually do the thing so I can finally stop doing
everything. No, no, no, the way that you get there is the fact that you're already
there, so you just stop doing everything else. So one of the things that you stop
doing is you stop resisting. Just allow yourself, allow your soul, allow your body
to be what it is that they are and know that that's not you and love and accept
it where it is and your soul and your body will begin to trust your spirit
because it doesn't reject your soul and your body or condemn it or judge it and
saying that, well it shouldn't be this, it should be different. Remember that's
the judgment, making a judgment call that it shouldn't be something and should be
something else. Don't judge it and that will let it know experientially, in other
words, by its experience with your spirit, that what your spirit has been telling
it really is true, that your spirit really, that the things that your spirit
has been trying to convey to your soul and your body, look, I am here as a king
to provide for and to protect you. I'm here as your covering. I am here to make
you safe. All of these things that you, you know, soul and body have been doing
to provide for and protect yourself because you thought you were abandoned
by me, by my, by the spirit and you thought that you had to do all of these
things. You've been doing such a good job, working so hard, trying to do the right
thing, trying to protect us, trying to protect yourself, soul, trying to protect
yourself and the body, you know, and body, you trying to protect yourself and the
soul, that I'm here to let you know you no longer have to carry that burden.
That's what, and so I recommend that you talk as your spirit to your soul and
your body like that and then to actually prove it to them by loving and
accepting them just the way they are, just the way they show up. Messiness,
temper tantrum, yelling, whatever it is that it's doing, whatever it is that it
wants to do, loving and accepting it without ever requiring it to be
different than that. Proving that its essence as your soul and as your body
really is enough because you're just enough.
Yes, yeah, so we also have, so Liberty you were asking, you know, interesting to talk
as you as spirit. Yeah, and that you've always heard it as the Holy Spirit, so
yes, there is the Holy Spirit, but that's how we hear the Holy Spirit is spirit
hears, spirit communes with spirit, so that's how we hear the Holy Spirit. We
hear it through our spirit, so we have our own spirit dimensions in Thessalonians,
you know, we have spirit, soul, and body and so it's our spirit that actually is
the king over your soul and your body. Your soul and your body is the first
line or area or dominion of your kingdom, is your soul and your body. Then from
there, you've got the rest of the kingdom, which is the rest of creation and other
aspects of the flesh that God has given us. Remember what he did to Adam, that he
has, what he told Adam, he said that he gave us dominion over the earth. It says
that the heaven was given to the Lord and the earth, the heavens is the Lord
Lord's and the earth was given to man and then he told Adam, he commissioned
Adam and Eve and he put them on earth. My goodness, sorry, I'm in a coffee shop and
so apparently a lot of people want smoothies right now. I think it's a
little extra warm outside today, so everyone's coming in, they said I'm
wanting cold lattes and smoothies, but anyway, so just remember that you can
provide for yourself what it is you've been wanting from the Lord. Why? Because
your spirit is one with Christ and so your spirit is receiving from, it's in
and receiving from, everything that it needs from the Lord in order to now look
like God does to us, looking like, looking like that from us to our kingdom, us to
our soul and body.
provides for, loves, protects, keeps us safe, etc. We are now seeing how God
treats us and we are now doing that and providing that for our own soul and body.
So in a manner of speaking, this is why I was saying the other day,
maybe it was yesterday, that provide for yourself and give to yourself what
it is that you're wanting from the Lord. And what you're doing is you're not,
that's actually a step in which you are coming into agreement with the fact
that God says that he is that for us because you have to be in agreement with,
it's because you are providing that for your own soul and your own body. And so
there's an aspect in which you're actually coming into agreement with the
Lord by stepping into it at yourself and providing it for your own soul and body
because you're coming into agreement with the fact that you have it to give,
that you have received it and now have it to offer. This is extremely powerful
viewing yourself like this, viewing yourself as spirit, soul, and body and
that your spirit is perfect and that your spirit is the Lord, the leader, and
the king over your soul and body. I don't mean over God and over Christ, I'm
talking about the fact that you're in Christ and your spirit is one with
Christ and you're receiving everything from Christ, from the Holy Spirit, that
your spirit needs. And now that it has everything, now that it is everything
that it needs, it has it to now give. So it's okay to provide that for our
own soul and body. Yes, from your spirit because your spirit is receiving it from
God. You won't be doing it at it so you don't have to worry that you'll be
doing this out of your flesh because you're actually in your spirit giving
it to your flesh. Anyway, hopefully that's helpful. I will actually post
something that will hopefully help people be able to give them a kind of
like a guideline or an idea of how to talk to your soul
and your body. I don't recommend that you read this and that you
use this quote-unquote you know verbatim. If you want to do it one time, sure
that's fine. But those are my words and therefore it's going to have my
authority. Your soul and your body need to hear from the authority of
your spirit. They need to hear from you. Trust me, they're going to know the
difference. It's fascinating that because I'm spirit and because each of us is
spirit, there is a measure of authority in which each of us can talk to other
people's souls and bodies, but never as a higher authority than that person's
spirit talking to their soul and body. We can and our soul and other
people's souls and bodies can recognize a son of God talking to them, but not as
having any kind of authority that usurps the spirit of that
person. But anyway, that's probably a detail on a sideline I don't need to
mention. Sorry, I thought that I had another comment that I that I'd
missed. So anyway, I hope that that's very encouraging. So just let go of trying to
be anywhere other than just where it is that you are right now. Know that the
Lord fully accepts you exactly as you are without having to change. So what it
is that we're doing when we're changing is simply we are allowing
ourselves to experience more of what God says that he's already given us. But
understand, we're not working to gain something from God that we don't already
have. Make ourselves more pleasing or connect closer to him or be more accepted.
We already have all of that. We're just not getting to experience as much of
that. So God's like, release what it is that you're holding on to. All of these
things that you're holding on to instead of me. And that will allow you to
experience the fact that I'm always talking to you.
Experience the fact that I'm always loving you. You're in my love and
therefore you have the opportunity to feel it. You have the opportunity to
experience, to feel my presence. So that's all that we're being invited into. So
there's no shame. There's no condemnation. There's nothing wrong with you being
where it is that you are.
And it's just, so fully love and accept yourself for where it is that you are
because you're already there. You're already perfect. You're already fine.
You're not gaining anything new. You're not moving into a greater measure of, I
mean, greater and connection with the Lord. You're already, you're already as
connected as you can be. You can't be any more connected than one with God, right?
So, yeah, so ready to own your own authority. Oh, I like how you phrased that.
Ready to own your own authority because we've been talking about authority and
we've been talking about owning yourself, you know, and choosing yourself and
understanding that God gave us that ability to, that right to
own ourselves because it's only if you own yourself that you have yourself to
give to God. So he owns you, right? But anyway, so I hope that all of that is
helpful, it's encouraging, and if y'all have any questions, just let me know.
And just remember that it's only when you accept yourself as you are, accept
your own self as you are, that it will help you believe that God is accepting
you. It'll help you to choose, you know, to make that decision and to realize, okay,
you know what, I'm going to make us, I'm going to choose that the reality is that
I am fully, that God fully accepts me. I am fully accepted right now and I'm
fully accepted without having to change. So, so you'll find that when you let go
of the desperation, so to speak, and fully accept yourself where it is that you are,
that you'll begin to feel safe enough to make the changes that you're going to
want to desire, that you're going, that you desire to, which is simply going to
shift you into more love and freedom. It's all that it's going to do. So it's
going to allow you to experience more of what it is that you already have, but let
go of this desperation that I want something, you know, why don't I have?
Because that's coming into agreement with the fact that you're starting from
a place of lack. God says, no, you already have everything. Receive it. Accept it.
Start living like it. Provide it for your own soul and body. Be the safe place for
your own soul and body to be the mess and the fear and the, and the yelling and
the tantrum that it wants to express. Let it have its say and then it realizes,
okay, you're still here spirit. You haven't abandoned me. Spirit meaning like
your spirit. You haven't abandoned me. Spirit with a lowercase s. You know, we're
not separated. That, that didn't scare you away. You really are bigger than my
tantrum. You're more powerful. You're, you're, you're safe. You know, so I can be
the messiness and you are undisturbed by that. It doesn't cause you to reject me
or to shame me or to, you know, or there's a, there's a word, man, it would be a
powerful word if only I could like think of it. It's not, it's a, I don't know, it's
like right there in the back of the brain. It won't come forward, but you
won't, you won't, um, you won't leave me. Like, oh, so I'm actually experiencing the
thing that you've been trying to tell me, which is the fact that you won't leave
me. I'm actually through everything, including the kitchen sink, that I could
at you to, to, to, to test that boundary, to test that truth, and you're still there
and you're unthreatened by my tantrum. You don't, because the threatened, the, the,
that sensing and feeling threatened by a tantrum, evidence and evidences itself is
in you thinking that that's you and it's scaring you. Don't be scared. Be undeterred
by how it is that, in, in, in who it is that you remember you are, simply by how
you act. Be undeterred by that and that will prove to your soul and your body, in
other words, to yourself, that what it is, that the truths that your spirit is
speaking about the fact that it is safe, that it will provide, it will protect, it
will be the things that God is being for it and that God is being for you. It will
prove to your soul and body and experience that those things are true and
then your soul and body is more likely to start letting go of the resistance,
letting go of the unbelief, letting go of the fear, letting go of trying to cut
off the spirit and protect itself from its own spirit. It'll open itself up to
allow the spirit
which brings in the spirit of wisdom and understanding etc and and and learns
from those spirits spirit of wisdom understanding etc how to
heal the different parts of your soul and your body that have all those inner
wounds that's all that happens so anyway um all right so
i will let y'all go if you have any questions just reach
out um but just just remember this weekend to just
be um to let go of all of of anything that feels
that it's needing to do anything to choose
to shift into rest to whatever because there's
i'm noticing that there's still an attachment to
doing or feeling condemnation or shame or frustration
or hurt and pain of why can't i do it yet so
so we need to we need we still need to go back
and allow ourselves and uh and start separating from that
um a bit more start separating um our from the from the choosing from
the shifting into rest anything that we're still connecting
with an aspect that there's something we still need to do
and that we don't have and that we're going to get when we finally make this
choice um so we need to we need to heal that
first be the safe place for yourself there's
nothing wrong with you i can handle trust me i have handled
i've actually handled temper tantrums from people
in in private consultations that i've had with people in past rest
rest intensives because that is what their soul just
they just got to the point where they couldn't handle it anymore and all
politeness went out the window and boom they came at me so i just was a
safe place for them and people have told me it was because they
they saw that they experientially with me
someone that would actually be safe for them it made them finally realize
well maybe that's actually a possibility and
that actually is a thing that's not just a theory i've actually experienced
being in that situation where i was a mess and i was safe
maybe that means that that when god says he's safe
he's like that too so it actually gave them an experience
of oh that's actually real somewhere i've actually seen it i felt it i've
been in it and so apparently that's a thing that
actually exists and so maybe god's right maybe that's
who he is for me as well so anyway be that for yourself you know in your
own soul in your own body so if y'all have any questions about how
about um about anything you know that comes up while you're going through this
process and where you try to be that for yourself
let me know and i'll talk to you later
