00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.480
So, I wanted to jump on really quick and give a bit of a better explanation or an example,

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.680
like what Amy had asked for.

3
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:14.800
The problem, and this is sometimes what happens with me, is there's so many different ways

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.800
to come at answering a question.

5
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.120
I have a very, very analytical brain, very analytical brain, so I can see the details,

6
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.720
I can see the big picture, and I see it all at once.

7
00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:31.800
So sometimes when someone asks me for, okay, can you explain this, if I'm not careful,

8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.800
I can start thinking of literally a thousand different ways to explain it, and then everything

9
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:38.440
shuts down.

10
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:42.680
I know it sounds weird because it sounds like a computer, but I have noticed that that's

11
00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:43.680
what happens.

12
00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:47.560
I can think of a thousand things at once, and then it's like everything gets overloaded

13
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.280
and it shuts down, and then I can't think of a single one, so I thought I just need

14
00:00:51.280 --> 00:01:00.000
to get off and turn off all the breakers, and then just turn down one breaker, and then

15
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.320
just deal with that one thing.

16
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.440
So I got a little overloaded with all of the possibilities, and then suddenly my brain

17
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:08.800
just kind of shut off.

18
00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:14.440
So really what everything comes down to, let's just make this as, because I wanted to make

19
00:01:14.440 --> 00:01:21.120
this literally as simple as possible, so that when you're in a situation, you've got an

20
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.920
anchor that you can grab ahold of, that you've got something that you can immediately think

21
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:34.920
about, and that is that every single time, what it is that we are holding in our container

22
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:42.320
that is foreign to that container, that it was not intended to hold, that is not in its

23
00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.160
nature to receive, is fear, period.

24
00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:53.680
Every single time, because love is the highest form in the universe, and what is the opposite

25
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:54.680
of love?

26
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:55.680
Fear.

27
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.240
So fear is the root of literally every single thing, every single foreign thing that we

28
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:03.240
could be holding in a container, and then we could get specific about what might be

29
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:08.400
in a container, but the root of every single thing that we do that is a sin against the

30
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.520
Lord is rooted in fear.

31
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.440
We believe it, which in fear, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always,

32
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:22.800
always, have I repeated that yet?

33
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.480
Always comes from unbelief.

34
00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:25.480
Always.

35
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:32.560
So fear, unbelief, that's always what we're dealing with in that container.

36
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:41.960
So our container was not built to hold fear and in doubt and unbelief, and if we just

37
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:48.520
simply stop holding on to that and just let it go, even though we don't know what might

38
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:53.840
come to replace it, which is the very reason that we grabbed a hold of it in the first

39
00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:01.040
place is because we decided to control our destiny, so if we just let it go, then naturally

40
00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.480
belief will come in, naturally faith will come in, naturally love will come in.

41
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:08.200
We think that we have to work for all those things.

42
00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:10.120
No, we're already working.

43
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.920
We're working entirely too hard to hold on to our fear and unbelief.

44
00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:17.840
We are very unaware of how much effort we're putting in to do that.

45
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.920
So that's an example, because really that's the root of every little example that you

46
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:24.920
can think of.

47
00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:29.920
So just think of things as you're going throughout your day and your life, whenever you are struggling

48
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:36.040
with something, and that struggle always has a root in fear, always has a root in something

49
00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:39.320
that we are not believing about God.

50
00:03:39.320 --> 00:03:42.840
That is what we're needing to release and to let go of.

51
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:49.040
Not to fight it and try really, really, really hard to try to disprove our fear and think,

52
00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:52.720
well, that couldn't possibly be right, and then we battle it and we battle it and we

53
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:55.920
battle it and we focus on it and focus on it and just let it go.

54
00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:01.480
So it's like, okay, I'm not going to hold on to this anymore.

55
00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:02.800
I'm going to let it go.

56
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:11.600
The more that we practice this, the more that we recognize what it feels like and to tell

57
00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:15.120
our soul, let it go.

58
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.680
Because otherwise it feels like, oh, it's just there and I can't get it to leave unless

59
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.680
I fight it.

60
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:28.080
But if we practice, you'll come to understand how all you have to do is just let it go.

61
00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:32.400
And I had to transition into this as well because I was, like I told you in the previous

62
00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:42.440
video, I was queen of being able to work really hard to battle against something that I thought

63
00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:47.120
wasn't supposed to be there and that I shouldn't be like, and that wasn't like the Lord and

64
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.800
I would push it, push it, push it, push it, push it out.

65
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:51.920
And you don't have to do that.

66
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.680
All you have to do is just let go of holding on to it anymore.

67
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.440
And now when I battle with fear.

68
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.200
I can get rid of it like that and we're talking about serious fears. We're not

69
00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:07.600
talking about small ones. We're talking about very serious things that are

70
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.040
rooted in very deep decades-old wounds. I can let it that that you know they

71
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.960
don't bother you all the time every now and then you're you're triggered and you

72
00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:21.120
get this fear and this anxiety to rise. Now I can get rid of those things like

73
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.440
that because I've learned that the I've learned what it feels like to tell my

74
00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:34.000
soul, release it. Not fight it, not focus on it, push it out and just prove it and

75
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.520
like well that's not true and that's not true and that's not true and that's not

76
00:05:36.520 --> 00:05:39.640
true until I finally believe it. You finally get to the point where you

77
00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:45.520
understand just let it go. Stop hanging on to it. You begin to feel what it feels

78
00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:49.880
like to hang on to something and then you and then you tell your soul how to

79
00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:56.920
do the opposite. So understand that resistance at its very nature means to

80
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:03.400
not receive. That is the definition of resistance. You can look it up in the

81
00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:11.000
dictionary. It means to not accept something. That is resistance. Sure one of

82
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:18.200
the one of the definitions is also to push away or to resist it to push away

83
00:06:18.200 --> 00:06:23.920
something. In other words, to battle it but that's really but that's only one of

84
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.200
the definitions but the root of the definition you know the very basis the

85
00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:33.400
very core of the definition of the meaning of resistance is actually not to

86
00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:38.080
push away. It's one of its additional meanings but the root of it the root of

87
00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:42.440
the word exists a resistance simply means it's very very simple it simply

88
00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:50.240
means to not accept or to not receive. That's what this resistance is. So

89
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:58.160
whenever you find yourself feeling like you need to do something like well I

90
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:03.000
something's coming against me whether it feels like internally something's coming

91
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.320
against you or somebody says something on the outside and it feels like an

92
00:07:06.320 --> 00:07:10.320
attack regardless regardless if it's an internal fear that's just coming up out

93
00:07:10.320 --> 00:07:14.560
of somewhere because of whatever it is you're going on that's going on

94
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.880
inside or it's something coming at you from the outside some outside

95
00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.940
circumstance or whatever some at attack somebody calls you declares something

96
00:07:24.940 --> 00:07:29.000
over you that that you know isn't true or that you don't want to believe is

97
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:34.600
true or whatever hurt your feelings and all that regardless of what it is if you

98
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:41.120
if you will note what's going on inside you you'll note that you want to do

99
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:49.280
something you either want to fight back you want to you want to get angry you

100
00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:53.720
want to get afraid be afraid you want to somehow do something to then protect

101
00:07:53.720 --> 00:08:00.160
yourself or to provide yourself you want to do something doing up like this

102
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:06.040
requires effort and in order to do something you have to have something to

103
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.720
do it with otherwise you can't do it you have to have some kind of a force

104
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.880
you have to have some kind of a drive etc well that does not come out of your

105
00:08:14.880 --> 00:08:20.480
natural nature because your natural nature wouldn't you know give into

106
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.040
doing wouldn't give into striving wouldn't give into the anxiety you know

107
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:32.919
all of that so if you've got this desire to do with that in this feeling in this

108
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:38.559
aptitude that you know I could step into it and actually do something it means

109
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:44.200
that you had something in you that you could do it with that you've claimed and

110
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:49.560
that you're holding on to and it is creating all of this angst and all of

111
00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:55.880
this work and that is the very force and and the thing that is fueling your

112
00:08:55.880 --> 00:09:00.480
ability your your ability you're feeling that you have the ability to actually do

113
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:06.240
something and whenever you you're doing something you're creating a barrier for

114
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:11.640
being able to receive because doing is the opposite of receiving so in order to

115
00:09:11.640 --> 00:09:20.320
receive you have to stop doing so I'm hoping that that and that that maybe

116
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.000
provides a bit more clarity and explanation hopefully you got it from

117
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.360
the first slide but just in case you didn't I thought I would create this

118
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:32.040
one too so just remember that doing means that you can't receive it's the

119
00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:41.640
very opposite think of think of between a man and a woman how physically women

120
00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:46.520
were created to receive and men were created to initiate and were created to

121
00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:50.520
do so if you think of it in terms of like doing and receiving you think even

122
00:09:50.520 --> 00:09:58.280
in our physical our physical bodies were created like that you can't do both

123
00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:01.720
you can't there's

124
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.440
There's the doing or there's the receiving.

125
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.240
Our body parts are evidence of the fact

126
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.160
that you can only do one, you can't do both.

127
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.520
So just think of it like,

128
00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:13.960
so just understand that when we do something,

129
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.960
when we try to exert energy into an issue,

130
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.780
even if it's just energy that we're keeping internally,

131
00:10:22.780 --> 00:10:25.800
all of that is evidence of the fact

132
00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:29.000
that we're not in a state of being able to receive it.

133
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.080
So we have to let go of the do

134
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.520
in order to be able to finally be in a state

135
00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:36.120
where we can receive.

136
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.400
So hopefully, for those of you

137
00:10:39.400 --> 00:10:44.400
that may not have got a full explanation

138
00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:46.160
or had one, just an additional example,

139
00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:48.320
hopefully this was helpful.

140
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:49.160
So anyway.
