I am 38 years old, and my husband is 49 and it's our first, both of us, it's our first marriage so we've waited a long time and so is everybody else in our lives. 10 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:53.000 And so for the wedding everyone can say, it's just been a really long time y'all have waited a long time. 11 00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:01.000 You know, so yeah, thank you. We're very excited we just got back from, and well we had a one week honeymoon. 12 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:06.000 And then in America than a two week honeymoon in, in Switzerland. 13 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:20.000 And then we had, which I know just sounds like a lot but the thing is that he's part of the ministry that has all of July off for what they call sabbatical, meaning that kind of like teachers they don't get paid but they, but the whole ministry 14 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:32.000 So that's why we got married when we did instead of, and got married really quickly after we got engaged is in order to be able to take advantage of having a PM having a whole month off. 15 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:41.000 So anyway that in a has enabled us to travel and so right now we're traveling to Canada, which is why I'm calling you from the road I'm really sorry. 16 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:50.000 We actually had to stop and pull over, because we're on our way to Canada for having more honeymoon visiting friends and ministry. 17 00:01:50.000 --> 00:02:00.000 And we were supposed to have already been there by now but we had issues with the car that had to be dealt with beforehand, meaning that we got off late, meaning that I'm happy to call you from the road. 18 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.000 My husband is now in in a rest stop center just entertaining himself on his computer while I'm out here. 19 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:17.000 I apologize for the unprofessional and interesting background of the college, it's quite good it's better than mine mine is really cluttered I rent a room. 20 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:24.000 So, it's a bit cluttered, I need to put a Hawaii background in. 21 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.000 Don't we all don't we all. 22 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:45.000 I have we have some friends that were the people that were kind of like manage the venue of the place that we got married and had it and had our honeymoon at, and they are currently in Hawaii, so my Facebook is being filled by all of their cool pictures 23 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.000 from Hawaii so they have a legitimate Hawaii background for everything. 24 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.000 The stream about it. 25 00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:03.000 It's so nice to finally get to connect with you. Yes, likewise. Yeah, I enjoyed those, I think it was 13 videos. 26 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.000 Yeah, that that was really good really resonated with me. 27 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.000 Really good. 28 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:16.000 I mean, it's kind of been a theme that the Lord has given me about union with him. 29 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.000 And I was just thinking before the call the church doesn't teach it. 30 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.000 No, yeah. 31 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:35.000 And doesn't I didn't know about it the Lord had to reveal it to me because when I was when I was living my life based off of what it is that I heard the church teaching. 32 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:51.000 I don't want to blame you know the church for what it is, how it is that I interpreted it, but from what it sounded like to me that they were saying, I was, I just live my life like that I need the Lord like that and I just drove myself into the 33 00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:15.000 it burned me out, it turned me against the Lord. The, the gospel didn't feel like power it felt like oppression. And so the Lord himself had to save me and heal me from, you know, with this message about about union about freedom about rest, because I wasn't, I wasn't hearing it in anything else. 34 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:32.000 I, I wouldn't even I and I was interpreting the Bible from what it was that I thought that the church was saying and how the church was interpreting it and so therefore I just even reading the Bible, I wasn't hearing the message of the gospel so it was once. 35 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:49.000 Nothing else works. And it was just driving my life into the ground that the Lord just had to grab ahold of me all by myself, meaning like it was a desperate bottom of the pit moment, and, and I could hear nothing, but the voice of the Lord and then he's 36 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:59.000 like okay actually let's let me teach you what is actually true, you know, from my spirit, and it takes a lot of faith to risk your life on the fact that that voice really is the Lord. 37 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.280 You're supposed to, you know, you're supposed to live your life in this new way and is that 38 00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:07.280 real? 39 00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:09.760 And if it is, well, then how exactly do you do that? 40 00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:10.760 Because it all sounds great. 41 00:05:10.760 --> 00:05:12.600 Then you got to actually live it. 42 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.400 How do you, how do you live it? 43 00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:21.320 How do you make this, this idea, this theory, this concept actually practical where, how 44 00:05:21.320 --> 00:05:23.640 do you live life difference in the way that you've been living it? 45 00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:28.400 So anyway, I'm excited to hear that you say that the Lord's been talking to you about 46 00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:31.000 all of this, about union, et cetera. 47 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.000 Yeah. 48 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.560 I went to Prairie Bible Institute, graduated in 79. 49 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:45.540 And one of the messages there was, you know, union with Christ, but it focused on the death 50 00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:47.800 part. 51 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:57.280 The man who started the Bible school, Ellie Maxwell has a book, Born Crucified and yeah. 52 00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.640 And one of my, I think I was in my freshman year, I had to write a paper on identification 53 00:06:03.640 --> 00:06:05.680 with Christ. 54 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:06.680 I didn't know it. 55 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:07.880 I really, what is it? 56 00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:08.880 You know? 57 00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:12.880 So that kind of started the journey. 58 00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:21.640 And you know, I had struggles with sin and all that and and so I was really seeking, 59 00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:24.200 how do we live the Christian life? 60 00:06:24.200 --> 00:06:33.600 Because you know, I felt like a failure and I mean, to some degree, you know, God has 61 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:40.280 brought me along on the journey, but you know, when I was watching your videos, it just, 62 00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:41.920 you know, oh, I want to learn more. 63 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:51.600 And I know there's resistance in me, you know, I just it's, I think it's hard for me to 64 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.440 really trust God, you know, really give myself to him. 65 00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:03.880 And I mean, I do, you know, I surrender, you know, all that. 66 00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:09.840 But you know, it's like, I sense resistance in me. 67 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:21.120 And I know and I had a question for you, like, say people who are non-Christians, not believers, 68 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:28.840 do they have, I mean, I always thought that they didn't have a spirit that was alive until 69 00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:36.640 you believed, but in listening to your video, it kind of got me to think, well, they do 70 00:07:36.640 --> 00:07:39.880 have a spirit, but it's dead towards God. 71 00:07:39.880 --> 00:07:42.360 Is that what it is? 72 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:51.640 You know, I'll be honest with you, I teach according to the bit of understanding that 73 00:07:51.640 --> 00:07:52.640 I have. 74 00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:56.400 So there's an extent to which I don't understand. 75 00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:03.120 And then there's also an aspect of, we teach according to how we see it and how we understand 76 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.760 it based on, but we still, like the Bible says, we see in part. 77 00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:14.040 So it's one of those things where I just teach according to, okay, well, what I can 78 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.920 see and sense and understand, this is what it looks like. 79 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.160 So it's kind of sort of like this, but it's one of the things where the more that the 80 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.800 Lord revealed to all of us, the more that we then look back on what it is that we believe 81 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:32.440 this far and realize, oh, well, now that I see it in light of new revelation, it makes 82 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:37.480 this look actually different than the way that I thought that I, the way that I'd interpreted 83 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:38.480 it. 84 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:47.120 So step one, I, to that, the way I don't understand all of it, but the way that I see it and understand 85 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:56.560 it based off of the Bible, et cetera, is, is that they do have a spirit and it's reborn. 86 00:08:56.560 --> 00:09:04.680 In other words, so in other words, it's dead, but it's something can't be dead that didn't 87 00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:07.000 exist previously. 88 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.600 If it, if it didn't exist, well, then it can't be dead. 89 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.920 You know, it had to be an existence and then it died. 90 00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:17.080 Now it's dead, but you can't have something dead that never existed first. 91 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.640 So that's where I get this understanding. 92 00:09:19.640 --> 00:09:24.800 And then of course, the fact that Jesus talked to Nicodemus about a man needs to be born 93 00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:29.000 again, and he had, and then that which is born of spirit of spirit, that which is born 94 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:30.320 of flesh is flesh. 95 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.080 Because when Nicodemus was saying, we'll be born again, so I have to go back into my mother's 96 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.080 womb. 97 00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:40.680 In other words, he was understanding that Jesus was saying, there's an origination point 98 00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:45.960 and it has to, and you have to come back to an origination point. 99 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.800 So that's where I get this understanding that apparently we all have spirit. 100 00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:52.120 We're all born with spirit. 101 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.040 The spirits existed, but from what I believe, you know, at the beginning of time, you know, 102 00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:00.000 according to, or before the beginning of time. 103 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.160 you know, Ephesians 1, 4, that God chose us in him before, before the creation of the world. 104 00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:12.520 But that because of sin, it created a separation between us and the Lord. 105 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:18.560 And in other words, there was that, that death is what, what the Bible keeps 106 00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:20.360 referring to as a death of spirit. 107 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.040 In other words, that their spirit is dead. 108 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.880 And so Jesus kept referring to Nicodemus, referring when he was 109 00:10:25.880 --> 00:10:29.880 talking to Nicodemus about the fact that we have to be reborn. 110 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:34.280 Um, so that's why I think that we all have spirits, but that's 111 00:10:34.280 --> 00:10:36.000 the unbelieving or spirit. 112 00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:38.360 Um, have died. 113 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.760 So they did exist and they still exist as spirits, but there's what, and then by 114 00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:51.400 dead, I don't fully understand what dead means because they're still, they still 115 00:10:51.400 --> 00:10:58.000 exist, the spirit still exists, but what I think that it might, and again, I only 116 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.680 understand in part, so I only talk in part. 117 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.560 I believe that it just kind of must mean something about that. 118 00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:09.560 There's like this disconnect or there's this aspect in which they can't access 119 00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:14.840 it or, or something, not access their spirit, but it's like there's a division 120 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:19.960 between maybe their spirit and their flesh, their spirit and their soul and 121 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:25.560 body that who it is that they are in spirit can't affect changed and 122 00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:28.600 transform their soul and their body. 123 00:11:28.880 --> 00:11:33.800 And that, and that disconnect is what God is. 124 00:11:36.520 --> 00:11:37.920 You're cutting out a bit. 125 00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:48.440 You just went off. 126 00:11:48.520 --> 00:11:49.840 I don't know if you can hear me. 127 00:11:49.960 --> 00:12:02.640 I can't hear you. 128 00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:06.600 You're the screen's frozen. 129 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.040 It doesn't you. 130 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:09.720 Okay. 131 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.320 So, um, now I can hear you. 132 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:26.440 Yeah, I can't hear you. 133 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:27.600 I can see your picture. 134 00:12:49.960 --> 00:13:17.960 Can you hear me now? 135 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.960 Your voice is distorted. 136 00:13:49.960 --> 00:14:17.960 Can you hear me now? 137 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.960 I can hear you. 138 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.960 Can you hear me? 139 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.960 I can hear you. 140 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.960 This is perfect. 141 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.960 A while ago it showed me you only had one bar. 142 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.960 Now it's showing me you have three. 143 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.960 If we have that trouble again, 144 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.960 we might try turning off our video. 145 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.960 Then it doesn't use as much data. 146 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.960 I'm going to turn off our video. 147 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:52.960 I show I have four bars. 148 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.960 I'm on LTE. 149 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.960 It's one of those things. 150 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.960 Which person needs to finagle it? 151 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.160 Yes, if that happens, I think I'm going to turn it off right now. 152 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.960 OK, OK, go ahead. 153 00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:08.800 Does that help? Did that bring up the bars? 154 00:15:12.920 --> 00:15:16.240 Oh, you're frozen again. 155 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.400 OK. 156 00:15:47.880 --> 00:15:50.720 Yeah, you're frozen. 157 00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:31.160 OK. 158 00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:38.760 OK, Chris, can you hear me now? 159 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:40.480 Yeah, I can hear you. 160 00:16:40.680 --> 00:16:46.760 OK, so it Zoom apparently keeps disconnecting and trying to reconnect. 161 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.040 I don't know why 162 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:57.120 it's so we'll both keep our videos off and hopefully we can we can make this work. 163 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.640 OK, so anyway, that that's how I kind of understand it. 164 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:06.880 I don't believe that I understand it fully, 165 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:13.440 but that's the general idea is the idea that I believe that even unbelievers still 166 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.640 have their spirits, that their spirits were created before their soul and body 167 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.240 and they were created for relationship with the Lord. 168 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:25.000 But the fact that there is a bit of separation and a disconnect, 169 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.080 in other words, a lack of being able to access or being able to be transformed 170 00:17:29.280 --> 00:17:33.120 by their flesh, being able to be transformed by who it is that they are. 171 00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:38.680 Actually, in spirit is God's reason for referring to their spirit as if their 172 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.160 spirit is dead, but it can obviously be reborn. 173 00:17:42.360 --> 00:17:44.840 But that's my general idea of it. 174 00:17:45.040 --> 00:17:46.920 Take it with a grain of salt. 175 00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:52.400 No, no, that's I mean, I hadn't really thought about that, that they I mean, 176 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.440 I knew that they were their spirit was dead and had to be reborn. 177 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.600 But kind of the thought that. 178 00:18:00.800 --> 00:18:02.760 You know, like when 179 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.200 Ezekiel was it, Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones. 180 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:08.400 Uh huh. 181 00:18:08.600 --> 00:18:11.680 I was just wondering if there was a way 182 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:16.400 to speak to them that would speak to their spirit. 183 00:18:16.600 --> 00:18:18.080 You know. 184 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.160 Well, I I believe that our spirits can speak 185 00:18:22.360 --> 00:18:26.760 to their spirit and how it all works, exactly. 186 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:27.760 I don't know. 187 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.400 I don't really I just know that when I'm 188 00:18:31.600 --> 00:18:36.720 talking to to believers or unbelievers, I talk to all their spirit, 189 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.320 their souls and their bodies, how exactly that all works. 190 00:18:40.520 --> 00:18:41.760 I don't know. 191 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.840 But not knowing how it works, et cetera. 192 00:18:44.840 --> 00:18:50.280 I still I just operate according to what it is that I do know. 193 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.760 And then the rest of it is, hey, I don't even know if this works. 194 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.600 I don't even know if this is how it works, but I'm going to try. 195 00:18:57.800 --> 00:18:59.320 Yeah, yeah. 196 00:18:59.520 --> 00:19:01.240 And then see what happens. 197 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.920 Yeah. 198 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.120 Yeah, 199 00:19:06.120 --> 00:19:09.560 but I mean, the the whole thing is, I mean, 200 00:19:09.760 --> 00:19:14.000 which has been a big thing for me throughout my life is, well, how does this 201 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.280 actually work, you know, not that that you get, you know, 202 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.600 like it's a formula or something because it's not. 203 00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:23.080 But. 204 00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:28.920 I mean, I from what you said, it sounds like, you know, 205 00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:34.360 there's faith, you know, belief and surrender. 206 00:19:34.560 --> 00:19:39.760 And I mean, I've experienced some of that and 207 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:44.720 but, you know, to consistently be living out of the spirit and, you know, 208 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:51.320 controlling soul and body, I don't think I don't experience that. 209 00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:57.640 I mean, I'm sure there are times that I do, but to consistently experience that. 210 00:19:57.840 --> 00:20:00.040 I mean, that's what I would really like to do. 211 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:05.960 And I'm pretty, not so much right at the moment, 212 00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:10.220 but I've been pretty stressed out with work. 213 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.920 I still work full-time at home on my computer 214 00:20:17.600 --> 00:20:22.320 and have meetings, teams meetings. 215 00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:27.320 But yeah, I can get really, 216 00:20:27.800 --> 00:20:31.440 really spend hours and hours working 217 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:35.240 and not do much else, 218 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.540 watch TV in the evening on my laptop. 219 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:46.920 I don't have much people contact except on the calls. 220 00:20:51.840 --> 00:20:53.560 Yep, been there, done that. 221 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.480 Yeah. 222 00:20:55.600 --> 00:21:00.600 And yeah, so it's, I mean, and my living situation, 223 00:21:00.800 --> 00:21:04.320 it reminded me something that happened just recently 224 00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:06.920 when you were talking about that guy 225 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.640 that was not nice to you. 226 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.240 Yes. 227 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.800 You know, and how you were able to, I mean, 228 00:21:15.800 --> 00:21:19.280 like I was really about upset about, 229 00:21:19.280 --> 00:21:20.800 I mean, I have just felt, 230 00:21:20.800 --> 00:21:23.640 I'm living with a family from my church 231 00:21:24.800 --> 00:21:29.360 and they have two kids, you know, grown. 232 00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:30.880 They're now out of the house. 233 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:35.400 The daughter just left recently, last week. 234 00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:40.400 And I've just felt excluded, you know, not wanted. 235 00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:46.240 And the daughter and the mom were leaving. 236 00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:47.600 I live in California, 237 00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:50.880 but they're leaving to drive a cross country to Florida 238 00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:55.880 because the daughter's getting an internship at Disney World. 239 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:01.600 So she was, you know, they were getting ready to leave. 240 00:22:01.600 --> 00:22:06.600 So I go into the garage, you know, to say goodbye. 241 00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:08.760 And I'm standing there and she says, 242 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:11.960 do you mind if we have some family time now? 243 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:15.880 And it was like, I don't want you here right now. 244 00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:20.240 And I just walked back to my room and cried, you know, 245 00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.680 because that's kind of, and then the dad, 246 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:25.520 he came back after they left, 247 00:22:25.520 --> 00:22:29.440 he came back and said he was sorry, you know, 248 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.480 she's had a tough time and we prayed together 249 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.840 and she didn't want to cry in front of me. 250 00:22:34.840 --> 00:22:39.840 But it was like, I was so, I felt so hurt. 251 00:22:41.320 --> 00:22:43.440 And then it went into anger, you know? 252 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:48.880 Like, and yesterday I was reading in John, 253 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:55.440 like John maybe 13 to 17 are my favorite, 254 00:22:57.760 --> 00:22:59.720 probably my favorite passages. 255 00:23:00.560 --> 00:23:03.240 And, you know, the whole thing of that God, 256 00:23:04.520 --> 00:23:07.360 the father loves us as much as he loves Jesus 257 00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:11.000 and Jesus loves us as much as he loves the father. 258 00:23:11.040 --> 00:23:15.120 And then Jesus says to love one another 259 00:23:15.120 --> 00:23:17.000 as much as I love you. 260 00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:21.400 And, you know, working that out 261 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:24.040 because this has been kind of a repeated thing. 262 00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:28.600 I mean, it just feeling excluded, you know, 263 00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:31.440 and I don't have much contact with other people, 264 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.840 but feeling uninvited, 265 00:23:34.840 --> 00:23:39.840 you know, and my room is, I can shut my door 266 00:23:41.320 --> 00:23:45.400 and which they like me to keep my door shut. 267 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.000 And I have a deck, a private entrance, a great view, 268 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:54.000 but, you know, it just got to me, you know? 269 00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:58.960 It really got to me this last week. 270 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.640 So, I mean, to keep loving when somebody, 271 00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:08.320 you know, I mean, this has kind of been a repeat. 272 00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.640 And then she came back from school and I thought, 273 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:14.920 oh, this time, you know, she's acting nicer. 274 00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:19.280 And, but, you know, I just, you know, 275 00:24:19.280 --> 00:24:20.480 I just feel excluded. 276 00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.320 Then when this thing happened, when, before they left, 277 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.720 you know, I would never tell somebody to go away. 278 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.600 Why, I'm leaving some, you know, 279 00:24:29.600 --> 00:24:32.680 why couldn't they invite, include me in their prayer? 280 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.040 You know, it was, that's kind of how it's been. 281 00:24:37.040 --> 00:24:42.040 And yeah, so to keep loving 282 00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:47.200 and not feel animosity towards her is difficult. 283 00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:51.600 Yeah, well, yeah, very obviously. 284 00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:52.960 Yeah, correct. 285 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.880 Yeah, you're right. 286 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.320 I mean, it's those types of situations, you know, 287 00:24:57.320 --> 00:24:58.600 where the rubber meets the road. 288 00:24:58.600 --> 00:25:00.360 So all of this stuff, you know. 289 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.600 all sounds really great and wonderful and oh yeah we should love you know no matter what and then we 290 00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:13.200 find ourselves in these situations you know and like well how do you do it in this one and and 291 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:23.360 because um what ends up happening is those situations you know reveal to us areas in which 292 00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:30.000 we are and I think that I mentioned it in those particular videos and because I have 293 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:37.120 several different teachings so teaching series and I think I mentioned it in the ones that you 294 00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:45.440 watch that when when we have what we refer to in the you know the church or in bible studies or to 295 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:51.440 each other or whatever is like trials and tribulations what those things are are they're 296 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:59.120 not tests in which like we what we got in school where as if God is treating us like this teacher 297 00:25:59.120 --> 00:26:05.360 where we're sitting at a desk he gives us the he's been teaching us all this stuff gives us 298 00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:10.960 piece of paper and then here's your test and I'm going to walk away and I'm going to and then 299 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.840 you're going to be alone while you take this test to prove that you have learned all the information 300 00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:22.880 that I've taught you this far that you're going to be abandoned in taking this in your stress in 301 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:28.960 your anxiety in the difficulty of the situation and let's see what it is that you know let's see 302 00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:33.840 if you perform up to snuff and you need to make sure to not cheat you need to make sure to not 303 00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:42.400 talk to anybody it really the that type of testing is very isolating and so when we hear the word 304 00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:48.480 testing in the bible that God you know that we were tested etc it doesn't mean that God abandons 305 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:55.840 us and to see how we to see if we perform well based off of what he's taught us this far it's 306 00:26:55.840 --> 00:27:00.000 very different the tests are actually these trials and tribulations these things of like when this 307 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:05.760 stuff comes up where it's like look I've now been treated unfairly or someone says done something to 308 00:27:05.760 --> 00:27:11.360 me that wasn't right it wasn't justified or I've done something you know that wasn't right or 309 00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:17.360 justified or whatever regardless of the situation something's not reflective of character of the 310 00:27:17.360 --> 00:27:28.000 Lord those trials and tribulations are actually invitations of God to step out of areas in which 311 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:34.080 we're in bondage and step into more freedom they're always invitations because they're they're 312 00:27:34.080 --> 00:27:41.680 not okay they're they're not situations that are showing us the conditions in which God will or 313 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:48.000 will not accept us like yeah okay yeah you're you're doing great I love you we've got a good 314 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:56.160 relationship I'll talk to you I'll will answer uh your requests when you ask me etc but oh my goodness 315 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:01.040 now the situations come up and you see how someone's treated you and you see and you feel 316 00:28:01.040 --> 00:28:08.400 how you internally respond and okay you know you know here we're at a crossroads here we're at a 317 00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:17.760 fork in the road and my interaction with you is going to change based on how you respond are you 318 00:28:17.760 --> 00:28:21.520 going to respond appropriately based off of everything you've I've taught you from your 319 00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:26.640 pastor everything that you've taught you in your spirit from you know from the Bible all of this 320 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:34.320 stuff that's actually not what's going on what's going on is God saying these situations are 321 00:28:34.320 --> 00:28:41.120 revealing to you areas in which whether or not you're in those situations your your heart is in 322 00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:48.560 bondage and I want you to know that you are actually in bondage so that you can choose to 323 00:28:48.560 --> 00:28:55.680 step into freedom in that area of your life where you're no longer enslaved and you're no longer 324 00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:01.920 oppressed you're you're always oppressed and enslaved in that area it's just that you don't 325 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:11.120 feel it and realize it unless certain situations come up and then that bondage that's always there 326 00:29:11.120 --> 00:29:16.240 suddenly comes to the forefront and you realize that you know so God's just like hey look I'm 327 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:24.000 just highlighting I'm allowing to be highlighted things that are always an issue for you but that 328 00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:32.960 are flying under the radar until these situations and circumstances come up so now that you see what 329 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:39.200 is inside of you you see that you're in bondage child would you like to live in more freedom 330 00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:46.800 because you have you actually already have the opportunity to live in freedom it's already yours 331 00:29:46.800 --> 00:29:53.120 you already have the victory would you like to gain the benefit of getting to experience 332 00:29:53.120 --> 00:29:59.840 the victory that you already are in in your spirit would you like to start gaining the benefits of it 333 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.280 You're not gaining in a, in a manner of speaking who it is that you are, is not 334 00:30:06.280 --> 00:30:08.980 gaining victory in those situations. 335 00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:12.280 You know, if you were to choose the right path, if you were to make the right 336 00:30:12.280 --> 00:30:16.500 decision, you know, if you were to forgive, if you were to release, you know, all 337 00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:22.700 those things, you're not actually gaining new victory, the victory has already been 338 00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:23.260 gained. 339 00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:29.220 You were just finally coming into agreement by choice with the fact that you 340 00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:30.180 already have it. 341 00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:33.680 So it's like the older son. 342 00:30:33.840 --> 00:30:35.600 So that's what you're doing in this situation. 343 00:30:35.600 --> 00:30:41.120 So the situation isn't, aren't as actually as hard as what we think that they are. 344 00:30:41.280 --> 00:30:44.820 We think that we're in those situations and oh my goodness, this is going to be 345 00:30:44.820 --> 00:30:49.160 really hard because God wants me to fight to have the victory. 346 00:30:49.300 --> 00:30:50.040 Oh bogus. 347 00:30:50.580 --> 00:30:55.000 You, he's already fought and he's already had the victory for you. 348 00:30:55.460 --> 00:31:00.220 Your inheritance as his son is to get to live in that victory. 349 00:31:00.740 --> 00:31:05.740 So do you choose now that to come into agreement with the fact that you are who 350 00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:07.120 God says that you are? 351 00:31:07.380 --> 00:31:10.480 Because when you come into agreement with the fact that you are who God says that 352 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:16.300 you are, that he is who he says that that he is, et cetera, your flesh and meaning 353 00:31:16.300 --> 00:31:21.980 like your soul and your body and what it is that they believe, et cetera, finally 354 00:31:22.280 --> 00:31:25.920 gain the benefits of a victory that's already been won. 355 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.260 You're not having to, in those, when you're finding yourself in those situations 356 00:31:30.260 --> 00:31:35.940 and circumstances, you're not actually being presented with a battle, so to 357 00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:44.280 speak, um, it with a battle to be fought and to have victory over it's already 358 00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:44.780 done. 359 00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:45.940 Yeah. 360 00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:55.260 And so if, if you, if we realize that it makes those situations easier to quote 361 00:31:55.260 --> 00:32:00.540 unquote overcome, because we have to realize that it's already been overcome, 362 00:32:01.940 --> 00:32:06.760 but we use the verbiage and the Bible even uses the verb, verbiage of battle 363 00:32:06.760 --> 00:32:15.300 and overcome as phrases to help us understand what, uh, what's happening 364 00:32:15.300 --> 00:32:18.620 when we're trying to come into agreement, when we come into agreement with the 365 00:32:18.620 --> 00:32:22.860 fact that it's done, we can call that whole process of coming into agreement. 366 00:32:23.100 --> 00:32:24.580 We can call that overcoming. 367 00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:29.980 We can call that switch of being in disagreement to switch of being in 368 00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:30.500 agreement. 369 00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:35.180 We can call that a battle because the flesh is warring against the spirit. 370 00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:36.400 The flesh wants to go one way. 371 00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:41.840 The spirit wants to go another and to switch from choosing your flesh to now 372 00:32:41.840 --> 00:32:42.840 choosing your spirit. 373 00:32:43.280 --> 00:32:46.200 That's a, that is what God's calling a battle. 374 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:53.040 That's what God's calling, um, the overcoming, but technically, even 375 00:32:53.040 --> 00:32:57.440 according to the Bible, the battle has already been won and you've already 376 00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.480 overcome G G R. 377 00:32:59.520 --> 00:33:02.540 Are you hearing, I'm trying to explain this as well as possible. 378 00:33:02.600 --> 00:33:07.680 Are you hearing that those verses that we have in the Bible that always sounded 379 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:11.060 contradictory where God said the Bibles are, that the Bible has already been 380 00:33:11.060 --> 00:33:15.400 won and we've already overcome, but then it continues to say, oh, you got to 381 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.340 fight and you got to win the battle and you have to continue to overcome. 382 00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.020 You see how it sounds contradictory in the Bible, but actually 383 00:33:24.320 --> 00:33:26.040 he's not being contradictory. 384 00:33:26.040 --> 00:33:32.120 He's saying, no, the victory already has been won and it already has been overcome. 385 00:33:32.540 --> 00:33:38.360 But you continually coming into agreement with the fact that that is true is what 386 00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:42.760 God is a struggle because your flesh wants to go one way and your spirit wants to go 387 00:33:42.760 --> 00:33:43.100 another. 388 00:33:43.520 --> 00:33:49.440 So you simply choosing that it's true is what God's calling a battle and 389 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.280 is what God's calling overcoming. 390 00:33:51.280 --> 00:33:54.200 You choosing to come into agreement is called overcoming. 391 00:33:55.120 --> 00:34:00.140 So that's why these things, that's one example of how these verses in the Bible 392 00:34:00.140 --> 00:34:04.640 that, that sound like they're saying literally the opposite thing are actually 393 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:06.200 both true at the same time. 394 00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:08.159 Yeah, I see what you mean. 395 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:08.600 Yeah. 396 00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:09.199 Yeah. 397 00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:10.120 Yeah. 398 00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:15.440 So it's, I mean, you know, like you have a little, you have a struggle in your 399 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.600 heart because you know, you should forgive, but you're really angry at the moment. 400 00:34:20.080 --> 00:34:24.960 And you kind of feel like, well, if I let the anger go, then I'm going to get hurt 401 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:25.400 again. 402 00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:33.060 And I, I don't want to, you know, you know, that sort of thing, but then, you know, 403 00:34:33.060 --> 00:34:40.860 that doesn't, the anger only hurts me anyway, it doesn't, she doesn't care anyway, but 404 00:34:40.860 --> 00:34:42.139 yeah, I can see. 405 00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:50.540 So it's, it's more that sort of struggle to just then to let it go and believe that, 406 00:34:50.540 --> 00:34:59.680 that I already have that freedom and that victory to love in, in, you know. 407 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.000 difficult circumstances. 408 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:07.000 Yes, so what it is that you're choosing in those moments 409 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.000 is instead of choosing and focusing on 410 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:13.000 how a situation is affecting you 411 00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.000 or what is coming against you, 412 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:16.000 you know, whatever, 413 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:21.000 you actually are choosing that you are who God says that you are. 414 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.000 And if you are who God says you are, 415 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.000 if you are spirit, 416 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:26.000 if you're one with Him, 417 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:27.000 if you're unified with Him, 418 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.000 and Christ is above everything, 419 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.000 and the only thing that's above Christ is God the Father, 420 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:38.000 then it means that everything else is under Christ's feet. 421 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:41.000 All power and authority have been given to Christ, 422 00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:42.000 and therefore if you're in Christ, 423 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:44.000 all power and authority have been given to you 424 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.000 as long as you're operating within Christ Himself, 425 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:48.000 being unified with Him, 426 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:51.000 and then everything else is under your feet. 427 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.000 That is who you are. 428 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.000 Your identity is your union. 429 00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.000 Your identity is the point at which your spirit is unified with Christ's spirit. 430 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.000 You cannot be identified apart from Christ. 431 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:11.000 So that is what those situations are threatening you to not believe. 432 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:12.000 So you have to choose, 433 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.000 no, I am who God says that I am, 434 00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.000 therefore everything, 435 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.000 including the situation in which this person has said this thing to me 436 00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.000 in which I feel, 437 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.000 and regardless of what they say, 438 00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:25.000 regardless of what someone has done or said, 439 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:30.000 what it's causing you internally to believe, 440 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.000 which is the fact of I'm isolated and alone, 441 00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:35.000 or I'm not worthy, 442 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:40.000 or I'm not worth being connected with, 443 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:41.000 or I'm disconnected, 444 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:46.000 or whatever it is that subconsciously we're telling ourselves in those moments, 445 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:51.000 because one of the biggest issues that I've dealt with in life has been rejection, 446 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:55.000 and so when you're telling me these stories, 447 00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:56.000 I'm like, oh, yeah, 448 00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.000 I've lived that so many times, 449 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:05.000 because there's different people have different areas of their life that are, 450 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:06.000 I don't know, 451 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.000 just typically that are, 452 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:10.000 I don't know, 453 00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:11.000 highlighted, 454 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:12.000 and for me, 455 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.000 the thing that has really, 456 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:19.000 really been attacked has been my feeling of connection with people. 457 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.000 And the enemy has known that, 458 00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:24.000 and I've really, 459 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.000 really been attacked with rejection, 460 00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:27.000 so I definitely feel you on all of that, 461 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.000 and I am so sorry. 462 00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:32.000 And what I had to learn is I had to learn, 463 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:33.000 excuse me, 464 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:40.000 that in all of the examples that I gave in those teachings that you listened to, 465 00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:48.000 the way that I overcame those difficulties in those relationships was in choosing that I was who God says that I am. 466 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:51.000 If I just focused on, 467 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:52.000 okay, 468 00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.000 I need to love this person, 469 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.000 then it wasn't enough for me, 470 00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:10.000 because remember that how God gives us the power to love supernaturally comes out of us being who he says that we are, 471 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:12.000 which he says is united with him, 472 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:14.000 who he says is love itself. 473 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:16.000 So to love, 474 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:22.000 if you focus on your identity in Christ and you choose that you are who God says that you are, 475 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.000 not that you act how God says that you act, 476 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:25.000 not that you focus, 477 00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:27.000 that you are who God says that you are, 478 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.000 and you choose that that is true, 479 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.000 your actions will effortlessly come out of that. 480 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:38.000 So you will no longer have to focus on trying to love someone. 481 00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:48.000 So I really didn't focus a whole lot on trying to love that gentleman that was causing such problems for me at work. 482 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:49.000 Sure, I did some. 483 00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.000 I tried to love him and all of that. 484 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:56.000 But the majority of it is, 485 00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:58.000 see, if we don't agree that we are who God says that we are, 486 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.000 and we think that we're somebody else, 487 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:09.000 we're trying to love someone out of who we think that we are, 488 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.000 and who we think that we are in those moments if we're struggling. 489 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.000 It means that we think that we're separated from Christ. 490 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:22.000 It means that God's expecting something of this human being that is trying so really hard to do the right thing, 491 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.000 and they're just trying really hard to be good. 492 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.000 Well, that person can't love supernaturally. 493 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:34.000 Only someone who is who God says that they are can love supernaturally. 494 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:42.000 So you have to choose that first in order to be able to have the love that God says that he wants you to have. 495 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.000 So that love that he says that he wants you to have, 496 00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:53.000 that's not a commandment of something he wants you to do and to build up as like practice. 497 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:55.000 That's something that God says, 498 00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.000 This is a description of your character. 499 00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.000 But in order to act... 500 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.040 your character, you have to choose the person whose character that is. So you 501 00:40:07.040 --> 00:40:12.000 have to go all the way back to the root. And so in a way, this frees you. 502 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:17.280 This frees you from the condemnation of trying really, really hard to continue 503 00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:20.680 to do the things God tells you to do, like be patient, be loving, and all of 504 00:40:20.680 --> 00:40:25.800 this stuff that's just, we're all fine, so difficult. It frees you from that 505 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:30.480 because God's like, I don't require you to work hard for that. That's already who 506 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:37.320 you are. That's part of your inheritance, is you got to inherit a character. You 507 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:42.520 got to, because you literally, the old man died, you're now the new man. The new man 508 00:40:42.520 --> 00:40:48.120 is always left. But you have to agree that you're the new man before that 509 00:40:48.120 --> 00:40:53.320 character, the new man, starts effortlessly acting on his own. So it's 510 00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:57.360 actually a lot easier to live the Christian life than the way that we've 511 00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:02.680 been living it thus far. All we have to do is that we have to remember and 512 00:41:02.680 --> 00:41:07.560 choose that we are who God says that we are. And then that character will start 513 00:41:07.560 --> 00:41:08.560 coming out. 514 00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:11.120 Well, that's simple, isn't it? 515 00:41:11.200 --> 00:41:13.240 Yes, it is. Very simple. 516 00:41:13.560 --> 00:41:20.920 Yeah, the way you're explaining it, it is so simple. And so it's not focusing on 517 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:26.480 my feelings and my hurt feelings or my anger, or I have to love, you know, love 518 00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:31.200 her. But it's, it's changes the focus completely, doesn't it? 519 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:35.920 Correct. And then also another thing that you might find helpful to remember is 520 00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:40.160 part of the struggle that we have, when we are struggling with like, oh, 521 00:41:40.160 --> 00:41:46.280 struggling to love someone, etc. is the route that we start with, is we condemn 522 00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:50.760 ourselves first. Yeah, we condemned ourselves by saying, Oh, see, I'm not 523 00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:55.880 doing I'm supposed to be doing. I'm bad. I'm not reflecting what God said. I'm 524 00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:00.960 sinning. This is horrid. I'm really sorry, Lord. And we feel shame and 525 00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:06.160 condemnation. And then we're using that shame and condemnation, which God says 526 00:42:06.160 --> 00:42:09.920 is a lie. And according to Romans one, one, there is no there are four notion 527 00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:14.880 condemnation in those for those who are in Christ Jesus. So we're, we're taking a 528 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:23.680 lie. We're trying to base obeying God off of a false foundation. So no wonder 529 00:42:23.680 --> 00:42:28.840 we don't succeed. No wonder we find it so difficult. We have to go back to the 530 00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:34.560 foundation where God says we are not ashamed. And we have are not condemned. 531 00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:39.680 And once we start back at the very beginning and agree with him that we are 532 00:42:39.680 --> 00:42:43.040 who he says that we are, one of the ways that we can do that is, you know, no 533 00:42:43.040 --> 00:42:49.880 shame, no condemnation, then it's a lot easier to, you know, to follow through 534 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.040 on what it was that I was saying, where we choose to that we are who God says 535 00:42:53.040 --> 00:42:58.640 that we are, and then that person begins to be that person, that new man 536 00:42:58.680 --> 00:43:03.120 effortlessly loves that other person, regardless of how that person, regardless 537 00:43:03.120 --> 00:43:07.680 of what that other person says, or does to us, regardless of what situations and 538 00:43:07.680 --> 00:43:12.680 circumstances we find ourselves in, in which the old man feels threatened with, 539 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:18.840 look, I'm disconnected, I'm isolated, I'm alone, the new man does not feel 540 00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:23.960 threatened. And that's really what's going on there when we have those 541 00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:30.480 feelings of like disconnection and, and unforgiveness, or, you know, anger or 542 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:37.080 whatever, that it comes out unless we're talking about righteous anger. And 543 00:43:37.080 --> 00:43:41.480 righteous anger doesn't just necessarily how I put that, just because someone 544 00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:45.640 shouldn't have said something, and we get angry about it doesn't mean that our 545 00:43:45.640 --> 00:43:47.760 anger is founded on righteous anger. 546 00:43:49.160 --> 00:43:50.440 No, I don't think so. 547 00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:54.960 Yeah, it could just, you know, it's usually the fact that there were angry 548 00:43:54.960 --> 00:44:02.400 because we feel threatened, we feel that it is trying to it that who it is that 549 00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:09.080 we are, and what it is that we want, is being has the possibility of being taken 550 00:44:09.080 --> 00:44:16.160 away, or of being denied. And that's not true. Yeah, that's what threatening 551 00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:21.680 means threatening means we feel that something that we have can be taken away. 552 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:28.640 But see, nothing that God gives us can ever be taken away. And we can't ever be 553 00:44:28.640 --> 00:44:34.440 separated from the love of God, etc. So therefore, we cannot ever be threatened. 554 00:44:35.160 --> 00:44:39.000 That's what I mean, when I keep saying that I keep telling, you know, in the 555 00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:44.000 teachings, whatever, you know, that we don't need to feel threatened, because 556 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:49.320 we're actually not threatened. It's not that we don't get experience attacks, 557 00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:53.840 it's not that arrows aren't thrown, you know, at us, you know, that things were 558 00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:59.440 thrown at Jesus, he had all kinds of attacks come against him bodily, you 559 00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:00.000 know, etc. 560 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.220 breath. It doesn't mean that we don't have a tax come at us. It 561 00:45:04.220 --> 00:45:08.500 means that the attacks can't threaten us. In other words, 562 00:45:08.700 --> 00:45:13.980 they can't, there's no potential for something that we have to be 563 00:45:13.980 --> 00:45:17.740 taken away by those things. They can't take anything away from 564 00:45:17.740 --> 00:45:21.260 us. Therefore, no matter how many attacks that we have that 565 00:45:21.300 --> 00:45:26.940 they set against us, we're still not threatened. The old man can 566 00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:32.040 be threatened. The new man cannot be threatened. So as long 567 00:45:32.040 --> 00:45:36.600 as you switch into choosing that you are the new man, even if you 568 00:45:36.600 --> 00:45:39.920 continue to experience these things from this lady, you know, 569 00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:42.800 even in regardless of whether it's this lady, it could be 570 00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:46.080 somebody at church, it could be, it could be nobody, you're just 571 00:45:46.080 --> 00:45:48.520 sitting in your room, and you just kind of feel a particular 572 00:45:48.520 --> 00:45:51.120 way, it could be something that happens at work, you know, or 573 00:45:51.120 --> 00:45:54.240 over a call or whatever. The thing is that when you find 574 00:45:54.240 --> 00:45:59.160 yourself in those situations, you, if you switch into the new 575 00:45:59.160 --> 00:46:03.860 man, it doesn't matter what comes against you, what is said, 576 00:46:03.860 --> 00:46:10.380 etc. You're not you, you will, you won't be as the new man, you 577 00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:16.900 won't be threatened, you won't feel threatened by them. So when 578 00:46:16.900 --> 00:46:20.500 we live out of rest, when we live out of our spirit, it 579 00:46:20.500 --> 00:46:26.920 doesn't stop attacks. It stops the attacks from actually 580 00:46:27.200 --> 00:46:32.200 threatening us. Yeah, yeah, stealing our choice, you know, 581 00:46:32.200 --> 00:46:36.880 etc. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think because I feel 582 00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.560 threatened, and I feel like I have to put up walls against 583 00:46:40.560 --> 00:46:45.160 her. Correct, because it's acting in self defense, like, 584 00:46:45.200 --> 00:46:49.640 Oh, my goodness, something can be taken. And it can't. Yeah, 585 00:46:49.700 --> 00:46:53.420 yeah. Well, that's a whole new way of looking at things, isn't 586 00:46:53.420 --> 00:46:59.380 it? Yes. And also, and a really, really, really cool thing. It 587 00:46:59.380 --> 00:47:02.500 doesn't just put you in a neutral position with someone. 588 00:47:02.900 --> 00:47:07.980 When you do something like this, when you operate like this, you 589 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:12.740 it then puts you in a position where now you are agreeing that 590 00:47:12.740 --> 00:47:15.540 you are in the position where God says that you are where 591 00:47:15.540 --> 00:47:19.520 crisis that you are being one with them. You now are in a 592 00:47:19.520 --> 00:47:25.600 position where you can bring the kingdom of God, how to put this 593 00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:29.160 the kingdom in which you are operating has a higher 594 00:47:29.160 --> 00:47:33.080 authority than the kingdom of the circumstances in which 595 00:47:33.080 --> 00:47:36.680 you're finding yourself. So therefore, you can call on your 596 00:47:36.680 --> 00:47:39.960 higher kingdom that you're operating in. And you can 597 00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:44.680 perform a miracle and transform your situation and 598 00:47:44.680 --> 00:47:48.020 circumstances, because the kingdom that you're operating 599 00:47:48.020 --> 00:47:51.900 in and that you're calling on, trumps the kingdom of the 600 00:47:51.900 --> 00:47:55.860 circumstances in the situation. So that is how you're able to 601 00:47:55.860 --> 00:48:00.580 then. So by by doing what I was talking about, by switching 602 00:48:00.580 --> 00:48:05.220 your your identity, etc. You act it actually puts you in a 603 00:48:05.220 --> 00:48:10.180 position by which your situation, your circumstance, 604 00:48:10.180 --> 00:48:14.140 the people around you, etc. can be influenced and 605 00:48:14.140 --> 00:48:20.120 transformed. So you're actually, your decision doesn't 606 00:48:20.120 --> 00:48:25.400 just neutralize you from attacks, it actually can 607 00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:31.000 overpower them, and can change things. So it puts you in a 608 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:33.640 powerful position, not a neutral one. 609 00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:36.640 Wow, yeah. 610 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:41.760 So it's, it's very important. So it's not just kind of like, 611 00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:44.100 okay, well, I'm just neutralizing myself in this in 612 00:48:44.100 --> 00:48:47.380 this situation. No, you're actually putting yourself in a 613 00:48:47.380 --> 00:48:51.940 position of higher power and authority. It doesn't mean that 614 00:48:51.940 --> 00:48:55.580 you always, that God always wants us to like, do something 615 00:48:55.620 --> 00:49:01.020 necessarily about it. About the situation, case in point, Jesus, 616 00:49:02.100 --> 00:49:06.820 when he was with the disciples on in the boat on the water, and 617 00:49:06.860 --> 00:49:11.060 he didn't even find the need, the Bible says to wake up in the 618 00:49:11.060 --> 00:49:14.200 middle of the storm, let alone to tell the storm to stop doing 619 00:49:14.200 --> 00:49:17.660 what it was doing. The disciples felt threatened. And they're 620 00:49:17.660 --> 00:49:20.320 like, Jesus, you know, don't you care about us? In other words, 621 00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:23.680 they're like, Hey, look, we've got to get this thing to stop. 622 00:49:24.040 --> 00:49:28.440 Jesus not only didn't find it necessary to tell it to stop. He 623 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:32.320 didn't even find it necessary to even be awake and aware. He was 624 00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:34.560 like, let's let us get do what it's going to do. I'm going to 625 00:49:34.560 --> 00:49:40.860 sleep. And so he was just trying he, because he was all he was 626 00:49:40.900 --> 00:49:45.000 operating out of complete rest of the father, and 627 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:48.420 understanding that it didn't matter what happened. It didn't 628 00:49:48.420 --> 00:49:51.300 matter what the circumstances and situations were that were 629 00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:54.780 going on around him, whether it be other people, or whether it 630 00:49:54.780 --> 00:49:59.100 be a physical environment or whatever. It doesn't matter that 631 00:49:59.140 --> 00:49:59.660 then 632 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.000 that the things happening didn't determine whether or not he was threatened. 633 00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:12.000 He was never threatened, even if the circumstances and the situation continued. 634 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:20.000 So just because you, so even though he got up and he told the wind and the waves to be quiet, 635 00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:25.000 we find from the fact that he didn't find it necessary to wake up, 636 00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:33.000 as proof of the fact that not every situation means that we find in that that's wrong or 637 00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:37.000 that shouldn't be happening or whatever, doesn't always need to stop. 638 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:42.000 God doesn't always call on us to change the situation. 639 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:46.000 I'm just saying that you're in a position of power, 640 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:53.000 whether or not God called you to wield anything from that position of power to bring order. 641 00:50:53.000 --> 00:51:03.000 You don't have to bring order to a situation and change it in order for you to no longer be threatened as an identity. 642 00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:11.000 Your identity is who it is, regardless of what's going on around you and regardless of how it affects your body or whatever. 643 00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:19.000 Because even Paul talked about the fact, hey, you know, you can kill me and it won't change anything. 644 00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:26.000 Because he said, you know, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 645 00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:29.000 He was like, hey, look, I win either way. 646 00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:38.000 So attacks, even on the body, even on Christ's physical body, didn't determine whether or not he was under threat. 647 00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:45.000 So anyway, my point is that it puts you in a position not of neutrality, but of power. 648 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:57.000 But just FYI, it doesn't always mean that the situation will change or that we're supposed to get it to change. 649 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:01.000 But it does put you in a position of power. 650 00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:07.000 What I asked the Lord to do with that gentleman is like, Lord, help me interact with him in a way that Jesus would. 651 00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:09.000 And I've done it not just with him. 652 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:18.000 I've done it with lots of other people and lots of other really difficult situations that I've been in, including a lawsuit in which I was in business. 653 00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:21.000 I was working for a company and the company was sued. 654 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:29.000 And then because of the vile way in which this other company decided to sue the company that I worked for, they decided to go after me personally. 655 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:37.000 Because my boss, they couldn't get him to admit fault because he hadn't done anything wrong. 656 00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:46.000 And so they thought, hey, well, if we went after his personal assistant, maybe that would emotionally get him to do what we want to do. 657 00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:49.000 So anyway, then they personally attacked me and drew me into it. 658 00:52:49.000 --> 00:53:01.000 Anyway, so even in major lawsuit situations, I've had to do this and I've had to remember who God says that I was. 659 00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:04.000 And this, by the way, was before God taught me about rest. 660 00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.000 So it's really fascinating. He's watched me through a lot of things. 661 00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:12.000 And it's been after the fact that he'll look back that he'll look back in history together. 662 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:18.000 And I'll say, actually, by the way, that thing that I was teaching you how to operate in and I just told you to do something, you do it. 663 00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:23.000 You didn't know why I was telling you to do it. That thing is called operating in rest. 664 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:26.000 That thing is called operating in spirit. I didn't know it at the time. 665 00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:39.000 But anyway, in lots of situations, whether it be with people or a lawsuit or whatever, I have, God's had to teach me how to, I've sought the Lord and I've sought his heart. 666 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:55.000 And like, OK, God, how can I not just not just remember and gain the benefit of who it is that I am, who it is that you say that I am and who it is that you say that you are not just that, Lord. 667 00:53:55.000 --> 00:54:15.000 But what can I do the way that Jesus poured himself out positively from a powerful position to change the lives of other people, to touch them, to forgive them, to love them, to bless them so that their life was even better from having met them than before. 668 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:38.000 How can I do that too? In other words, not Lord, just how can you keep me from being affected by someone? Rather, Lord, how can I pour out of my own life to benefit someone else, to benefit these people that are hurting me, to benefit the people that have attacked me in this lawsuit, to, you know, to whatever. 669 00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:56.000 And so you'll find yourself in some situations having that heart. That heart, by the way, is the heart of your father. That is, and because you are of him, because you're his son, because you carry his DNA, that is your character. That is the things that you desire to do for other people. 670 00:54:56.000 --> 00:55:00.000 So anyway, so that's why I wanted to mention this. 671 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:07.800 fact that there's so much to be gained by choosing that you are who God says that you 672 00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:14.040 are when you're confronted with these things in yourself that appear when you're in those 673 00:55:14.040 --> 00:55:18.000 situations with other people and people say those things, you feel that way, have that 674 00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:19.960 response, et cetera. 675 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:27.080 You're not just gaining, you're not just trying to seek the Lord to gain an understanding 676 00:55:27.080 --> 00:55:32.360 and a benefit of like, Lord, how do I gain the benefit of being at rest in you where 677 00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:37.280 people can say whatever and it doesn't, and I don't feel threatened. 678 00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:44.240 If more than that, if Lord, how can I then turn around and bless their life? 679 00:55:44.240 --> 00:55:47.320 Not just how can you protect me from them? 680 00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:54.400 How can I actually be put in a way where I am pouring out myself into them in such a 681 00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:57.800 way that it transforms them? 682 00:55:57.800 --> 00:56:07.680 So it's just, it's a lot, it's powerful, it's, I don't know, there's just, there's so much 683 00:56:07.680 --> 00:56:11.200 good in it and that is who you are. 684 00:56:11.200 --> 00:56:21.120 It's already who you are and what you're doing is you are learning with the Lord by choosing 685 00:56:21.120 --> 00:56:25.360 your identity continually in a variety of situations. 686 00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:36.000 You are, how to put this, you are being, you'll be taught, we're all being taught by our father 687 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:41.600 how to mature as the person that he already says that we are. 688 00:56:41.600 --> 00:56:46.000 To say, for instance, as a friend of mine puts it, which I've always thought was a great 689 00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:47.000 analogy. 690 00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:53.000 It's like a baby being born with all of its arms and its legs and its brain and everything 691 00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:58.520 it needs in order to function, you know, its DNA, et cetera, but it doesn't stay a baby. 692 00:56:58.520 --> 00:56:59.960 It continues to grow. 693 00:56:59.960 --> 00:57:02.200 It learns that it has an arm. 694 00:57:02.200 --> 00:57:03.440 It learns that it has a hand. 695 00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:06.880 It's really cute to watch babies suddenly discover that they have these things. 696 00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:08.240 Well, they were born with them. 697 00:57:08.240 --> 00:57:12.320 They've always had them, but it's like they suddenly discovered, oh my word, what is this 698 00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:13.320 thing? 699 00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:14.320 Oh my goodness, it's a hand. 700 00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:15.320 That's fascinating. 701 00:57:15.640 --> 00:57:19.760 And then they learn what it can do. 702 00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:24.600 And then they learn how to make it do that when they want. 703 00:57:24.600 --> 00:57:30.280 And then they learn what kind of situations that they're in in life and what the different 704 00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:35.880 things that their hand can do can be used to help them in such and such a situation. 705 00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:40.760 You know, for buttons, you push with a finger, for a lever, you grab it and then you pull 706 00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:44.320 it towards yourself or you push it or you do. 707 00:57:44.320 --> 00:57:46.280 There's all kinds of different things. 708 00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:48.400 We do the same thing in the spirit. 709 00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:55.600 So just because you already are the thing doesn't mean that you know how to operate 710 00:57:55.600 --> 00:57:56.600 in everything. 711 00:57:56.600 --> 00:58:03.720 But don't let your lack of understanding of how to love someone to its full, to their, 712 00:58:03.720 --> 00:58:09.120 to your fullest ability or how to pour into someone else and transform their life. 713 00:58:09.120 --> 00:58:15.160 Don't let your don't let your lack of understanding make you think that, well, maybe that's not 714 00:58:15.160 --> 00:58:16.160 me. 715 00:58:16.160 --> 00:58:22.480 No, it's still you, but you're young, you know, as a son with the Lord. 716 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:24.440 And by young, you could be 35 in the spirit. 717 00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:25.440 You know, I don't know. 718 00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:26.440 You could be 55. 719 00:58:26.440 --> 00:58:34.720 I just mean that you're, you're on a particular at a particular time and point on your timeline 720 00:58:34.720 --> 00:58:36.800 of development with the Lord. 721 00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:43.000 And God doesn't, didn't create you to already know and be fully mature and functioning at 722 00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:45.480 your highest capacity. 723 00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:52.520 He created you very purposefully to learn in a journey of relationship with him more 724 00:58:52.520 --> 00:58:57.880 and more of what you already are more and more of what you're capable of. 725 00:58:57.880 --> 00:58:59.400 You grow into that. 726 00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:05.280 So just because as you run into, I don't know, and I've never been, you know, Lord, you tell 727 00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:08.480 me this in the Bible, but I don't know how to do it. 728 00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:13.280 That doesn't mean that you're not that thing already, and you don't have it yet. 729 00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:20.000 No, you have those things within you, but you learn from the father in a process of 730 00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:25.560 maturation and development of relationship between father and son, where a father teaches 731 00:59:25.560 --> 00:59:26.560 his son more things. 732 00:59:26.560 --> 00:59:27.880 He teaches them carpentry. 733 00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:29.720 He teaches them how to make a piece of furniture. 734 00:59:29.720 --> 00:59:33.600 He teaches them how to get a ball with a baseball bat. 735 00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:37.200 He teaches them things. 736 00:59:37.200 --> 00:59:38.600 So it's the same thing with us. 737 00:59:38.600 --> 00:59:44.920 So just FYI, I don't expect, you know, and get discouraged if like, well, you know, God 738 00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:46.840 says that I am already this thing. 739 00:59:46.840 --> 00:59:53.680 Why am I not performing well or whatever, you know, standard that you're, that you, 740 00:59:53.680 --> 00:59:57.720 you know, that we have a tendency to use on our, on our stuff. 741 00:59:57.720 --> 00:59:59.960 Know that there's a process of maturation, but know that 742 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:06.640 you already are the thing, you're not in lack of it. It's just that you've never done this 743 01:00:06.640 --> 01:00:14.560 thing before and you don't know how. So it changes our prayer life to be, to instead of, 744 01:00:14.560 --> 01:00:19.760 Lord, give me something I don't have. Instead, because that's calling God a liar, that saying, 745 01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:23.280 well, God, you say that you've given me everything, but obviously it's not true, 746 01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:27.920 so I'm asking you to give me something. No, no, no. We say, God, you've already given me everything, 747 01:00:28.560 --> 01:00:33.600 but show me, Lord, what you've given me and how to operate in it. 748 01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:40.640 It completely changes our prayer life. That's how we pray now. Lord, I agree with you. 749 01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:47.680 This is who I am. I am already love. I am already, you know, forgiveness. I'm already, 750 01:00:47.680 --> 01:00:53.840 I already have everything that I need, but Lord, I'm young in you. I've never known. 751 01:00:53.840 --> 01:01:00.000 I've never accessed this before, or I've never accessed it in this way. I've never accessed it 752 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:07.280 to this degree of intensity. How do I do that, Lord? And so that's what we pray in these difficult 753 01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:13.760 times where we're struggling. Ashley, I've got a meeting at 10, which is right now.
