And good morning, good morning, welcome to day six.
We have covered some territory.
Day six, partnering with God in business.
I'm loving the conversations that we're having even before the recording about being more
aware, being more present, being more aware of God in your thoughts and where your mind
is, what your mind's doing, being just more present.
And I love that.
I love that.
And it's not that we want to fight or resist our thoughts, because whatever we resist persists,
you're going to get more of it.
So it's not that we're fighting, but I was sharing earlier, Isaiah 26, three, which says,
he will keep thee in perfect peace, whose mind has stayed on thee because he trusts
in thee.
So the idea is we renew our mind, we're transformed by the renewing of our mind, we renew our
minds, and we're learning to keep our mind fixed on God, and that leads to perfect peace.
And so it can look like a lot of very simple things.
It can look like as soon as you wake up in the morning, and you just gratitude, and you're
just like, thank you, God.
Thank you that you gave me a good night's sleep.
Thank you that you chose to wake me up this morning, my lungs are breathing, my heart
is beating.
I just want to invite your presence into today, I want to dedicate today to you.
And thank you that I'm in a bed, and I'm in a safe room, and thank you for the flowers
growing outside my window.
Thank you for my puppy that's greeting me right now.
This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Thank you.
I know that today is a day of infinite possibilities.
I know today's a miracle day, and I'm so excited to see what you're going to do today, God.
I just invite you to just flood into my awareness, open my spiritual senses to hear what you
have for me to say today.
May my spiritual ears be open, may my spiritual eyes be open, may my spiritual heart be open
that I can perceive the new thing that you're doing today.
I'm coming into today with faith, faith and expectations.
I know today is going to be a great day, it's going to be a peaceful, joy-filled day.
I know today's going to be a day of abundance.
I know today's going to be a day of love.
And I just tap into the love that you have for me right now, and just knowing that your
love never fails and that it's continuous.
And so you're just having this conversation, right?
And that can carry out throughout the day.
And, you know, we gave different tactics.
Sometimes it might be while you sit down and you're quiet and you're opening the word and
you're just like, speak Lord, let me get out of this what you have for me right now.
What do you say for this season?
It might be when you open your journal and you're using both colors and you're asking
God questions and you're journaling the answers.
So it's going to come in different places.
It might be right before you're about to coach or teach or write or whatever it is that you're
doing and then it's like, Lord, love through me today, teach through me today, coach through
me today.
So it's that constant conversation, right?
It's that constant conversation.
You know, we see that that was the original pattern in the Garden of Eden where they walked
and they talked with God.
And I think that that can be restored because we're the temples of the Holy Spirit and the
Holy Spirit lives in us and we have the mind of Christ and we have power and we have authority.
And so it's not so much, man, I can't sin today.
I can't think about that.
I can't.
No resistance.
We're going to create, you know, more of that.
So I pray that helps you.
Let's open with prayer.
Let's dive right in.
I'm super excited to be here.
Father, we thank you.
This is the day that you have made and we rejoice in it and we're glad in it and we
celebrate the gift of life and we thank you that you've chosen to give us another day.
You've chosen to gather us here.
And I just ask that the words of my mouth, the meditation of my
My heart will be pleasing in your sight.
Whatever needs to be said, whatever
needs to come forth for each of these beautiful women
watching live or online, for them
to prosper physically, relationally, spiritually,
financially.
I just pray that they prosper in all things.
And so we give you thanks.
We give you all the glory.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Well, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Let me pull up.
Let me share the screen and open up the slides.
So here we go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
I'm so excited.
Let's go, let's go.
Come on, from the beginning.
There we go.
All right, so you all should be seeing it.
And here we are on day six of Partnering
with God in Business.
So I opened with the conversation.
We've been having a conversation about this battle, if you will,
being in our mind.
But maybe we could replace the word battle
as I'm thinking about this right now.
Maybe battle's not a great word.
Maybe it's this uncovering, unveiling, this revealing,
this relationship, this growth, this mastery, this love,
this joy, this peace.
It could be anything.
It's starting in our mind.
And the choice is always to conform
that the world is shaping you.
And so what the news says, whatever, whoever you're
listening, who or what you're listening to,
that's shaping how you feel.
Are you scared?
Are you angry?
Are you being shaped more by the world?
Are you being shaped more by circumstances?
Or are you being transformed, made completely new?
Behold, all things become new.
Old things are passed away.
Being transformed by the renewing, two words,
re, do again, new.
Little did we know we would have the science about renewing.
It's called neuroplasticity, meaning that the brain is,
the nervous system, the brain is changeable.
You can renew it.
You can literally have a new brain.
You can have new neural pathways.
When there's an accident or an injury and part of the brain
stops working, the brain is so neuroplasticity,
so neuroplastic, that it develops
new neurons and new dendrites and can
create a whole new pathway.
And it's the same thing.
You may have a certain pathway that tended, maybe,
passed down genetically or through a lot of influence,
that maybe you had a pathway, like a four-lane freeway,
when it came to fear, doubt, and worry.
And maybe you had a little dirt country road
when it came to faith.
And by the continuous renewing of our mind,
of the speaking faith, thinking faith, acting on faith,
reading faith, listening to faith,
that the other four-lane freeway isn't getting any traffic.
And now the dirt road is becoming,
and that becomes energetically where your thoughts go more
naturally.
So it becomes more natural to walk in gratitude.
You're retraining.
You're renewing your mind.
So it becomes more natural to walk in gratitude.
It becomes more natural to be a positivity or a possibility
thinker, that you're always looking.
What's the possibility here?
You're always expecting something wonderful
is about to happen.
It's a mind set.
You hear the word mind set.
It's like a thermostat set.
You set it at 74 degrees or 72 or 68.
Where is your mind set?
Where is the go-to?
And it doesn't think a lot about money and about lack.
Does it think a lot about fear and danger?
Like, what is your mind set?
And so we're not conforming to the world
and the patterns of the world.
We're being transformed.
And this is what partnership is all about.
It's like partnership.
It's you and God.
And it's you and God being intimate
that you no longer feel a need to hide from God.
You think about how silly it is to hide from omnipresence,
omnipotence, our creator.
I think about the Garden of Eden.
Eden and Adam attempting to use a fig leaf
and hide behind the bushes as God is seeking him out
and saying, Adam, where are you?
And it's not because God didn't know where he was.
He's letting him know he matters, come out.
Let's walk together.
Let's talk together.
Ask me, tell me, you know,
scripture says we have not because we ask not.
And so being willing to have that intimacy into me,
you see, God, there's nothing hidden.
You know me.
You know, David did that in the book of Psalms, you know,
and just knowing that we allow God to fully know us
because he does anyway,
and for us to fully know and trust.
And that intimacy begins to be born
and that creates joy.
It creates peace.
It creates possibility and abundance
because you know that you're walking
with infinite possibility, infinite love, infinite wisdom,
and you get to be intimate with that.
And so it's a process of replacing old beliefs
and old stinking thinking and old lies
and old things that we've just picked up with truth.
And this is why it's so important to get into the word.
And if you're new to the word,
even start with a translation
that doesn't feel really hard for you.
Maybe start in the New Testament first.
You can do the whole Bible.
I encourage that.
But if you're new, maybe just start,
start with the gospels, you know, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,
that's four different perspectives on the life of Jesus
and get a newer translation.
I love the passion translation.
If you're looking to get passion and get intimacy,
I love the passion translation.
If you're a word geek like I am
and you want to know what every word means,
I love the amplified translation
because then you can take a word,
like it says, you know, whosoever shall believe.
And it lets you know believe means, you know,
lean your entire personality on God.
So it lets you get a depth of that.
So, you know, find a version that works for you,
but the key is even if it's only 10 minutes a day,
I mean, if it's 30 better, if it's an hour, cool,
but it just being in the word
and you don't have to like try to get through
the whole thing.
Sometimes it's just reading one sentence over and over again
or one chapter.
Sometimes it's just, it's having the highlighter
and it's getting the depth.
Maybe it's journaling about it.
What is this saying?
Maybe it's doing research on it to understand it.
Like what I did with Elijah recently
and Elijah being at the river and the river drying up.
Well, there's a lot of depth, the name of the river.
Let us know so much, you know,
that this was the river of hiding.
This is for the season when God keeps you in hiding
to prepare you for that,
that you know you're supposed to be doing.
So there's a lot of depth.
The names actually mean something
and the places, the names of the places mean something.
So you can start shallow in,
let me just get to know the lay of the land.
Let me just get to know you, God.
Let me just get to know your love and your ways.
You can go a little deeper, like understanding.
And so just the key is we're replacing
with truth, okay?
And so what we're doing is we're changing our perspective
because we're not seeing life as it is, okay?
We're seeing life as we are, okay?
And scientifically at the frequency that we are at, okay?
And so if we're in a very low frequency,
like guilt or shame,
we're going to see life from that place.
We're going to see God from that place.
Our worldview is going to be from this place.
If we're in a place of hope,
we're going to see God as bringing hope
and the world as a place of possibility.
If we're in a high frequency like love,
we're going to see God as loving.
And God's not changing based on our frequency.
He's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
He's the same forever, but you're not seeing with your eyes.
You're seeing with your mind, okay?
So your eyes simply pick up light and it's-
signals to the brain. And then the brain has to decode it based
on what the brain already knows what's familiar to the brain,
your perspective. And so the same person can look at the same
thing and see it completely differently. And so you're not
seeing life as it is, you're seeing it as you are. And you
get to change that as you are renewed. And so we've been
reading this, that there's this unveiling happening in our in
our innermost being there is this, this understanding of
Christ in us and us being rooted and grounded in love. And the
goal is that is that we become completely filled with God's
presence. And so when you walk in a room, God walks in a room,
because you're the temple of the Holy Spirit. Right? Okay. So we
talked about the different ways of partnering with God. So we
talked about divine direction. And so having God lead us,
right? The Lord is my shepherd. What does the shepherd do? He
leads the sheep, he leads me besides still waters, quiet
emotions, he leads us into green pastures, provision, right? And
so it's this idea of leading that even though I walked
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid
for thy rod and thy staff. They comfort me. Okay. So it's this
idea, they that are led by the Spirit, are the sons and
daughters of God. So it's this idea of learning to, to be led
to allow God to, to lead you, this is very powerful. And he'll
give you very specific direction. Okay. And we saw a
lot of examples of that a very specific, divine direction. And
there's a divine timing, we talked about Kairos versus
Kronos, right? And so Kairos is that divine timing, we want to
be in that divine timing. And we saw a lot of examples of when
God says wait, and when God says advance, and knowing the
difference between those. And so partnering with God is about
walking in the timing of God. And, and we saw about divine
appointments that for you to fulfill your call, scripture
says we're a body, every single person matters. And we say, you
know, some people are the eyes, some are the ears, some are the
heart, some are the toes, whatever, we need each other and
to fully fulfill our purpose. I think we're learning, I think
more and more, especially as Americans, you know, this rugged
individualism, we're having to let go of that, and learn to
collaborate, to work together as a body that each person has
different missing pieces, you know, and so we read about
Cornelius and Peter and how you can be here praying Cornelius
was a godly man, but he still he didn't know he was a Gentile,
there was a lot that he didn't know about Jesus and about
walking in the Holy Spirit and about the gifts of the Holy
Spirit. So if Cornelius tried to just figure it out all by
himself, he doesn't have all the puzzle pieces, he's going to go
to build this puzzle and there's going to be gaping holes, he
knew how to pray it says, and yes, God will guide us into all
truths. But often he uses people he he knew how to be a generous
giver. So he knew how to activate the flow. But there was
so much he didn't know. So over here, Peter, God was preparing.
And and Peter, in order to be ready for this divine
appointment, and this divine encounter, Peter had to get rid
of some old prejudices, some old beliefs, some old biases, right?
To the Jews, it was unclean to interact with the Gentiles. Well,
that wasn't God's plan. We were supposed to come together that
Gentiles were grafted into that tree. And and so he had to let
go of some old stinking thinking, or he would have
missed an opportunity if he held on to his old prejudices, that
he would have missed an opportunity. And so there was
much God needed to teach Peter, you see, and so both of them
were being prepared separately. And then they were both led on a
divine appointment. So Cornelius sent his men to meet Peter.
Peter was told to go downstairs and meet Cornelius
and follow his people back to Cornelius's house,
go into the house of people that thought differently,
looked differently, dressed differently, acted.
Peter's mind was gonna get blown away.
So Peter's obedient, he's led by the spirit,
even when it goes against culture
and it goes against what he understood, right?
And as he starts sharing the word,
it says the Holy Spirit fell
and all of the people that Cornelius had invited,
he had a house full, they received the power of God.
They started speaking in their heavenly language.
They started getting divine revelations
and the gifts of the spirit.
So they needed each other.
Cornelius needed what Peter understood.
Peter had a deep understanding, okay?
And encounters with Christ.
And yet Peter needed Cornelius to expand his horizons.
You see how that works?
Divine appointments, we need each other.
We can no longer be these rugged individualists
and that there's a divine order, right?
And so 1 Corinthians 14, 40 says,
let all things be done decently and in order.
If you see a lot of chaos, that's not of God.
One of the ways you can tell
if it's God speaking or working is peace.
Scripture says, let peace be your umpire.
And so looking at how God takes chaos,
chaos in our mind, chaos in our body,
chaos in our home, chaos in our finances,
chaos in our business, chaos in our relationships.
And God is able to bring order to the chaos, okay?
So really, really, really beautifully.
And we see when the officer approaches the Lord
and wants healing and says, Lord,
I'm not worthy to have you come into my home,
but just say the word.
He had enough faith.
Just say the word from where you are
and my servant will be healed.
I'm reading from Matthew 8, verses 8 through 10.
Just say the word from where you are
and my servant will be healed.
He says, I know this because I'm under the authority
of my superior officer.
So he was a military man.
He understood authority
and he understood that Jesus had authority
and he had authority.
So he was under the authority of his superior officers.
And it says, and I have authority over my soldiers.
We each are under the authority of God,
but we've been given authority over our environment, okay?
And I have authority over my soldiers.
I only need to say go and they go or come and they come.
And if I say that to my slaves, do this, they do it.
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed.
The wisdom that was coming from this Gentile officer
and he turned to the Jews that were following him.
He said, I tell you the truth.
I haven't seen faith like this in all of Israel.
Those that are with them are saying, give us a sign.
How do we know that you're Jesus, right?
They're needing stuff.
And this outsider, if you will, right?
This Gentile, this Roman who they despise
is saying, look, just say the word.
I have enough faith.
I know my daughter will be healed
if you'll just say the word.
But the key here is that we're seeing a divine order.
And so one of the ways that this order can come in
is bringing order to your day.
So part of partnering with God
is asking God to order your steps, order your days.
So that one of the most important things in my opinion
is how you start your day, how you start your day.
And those of you that have worked with me,
you know, I use the Prosper Daily Plan.
You can get a copy of the Prosper Daily Plan.
And the whole top of the daily plan
is a checkoff list just to remind you,
have you taken time to pray, to read, to journal?
Have you set your declarations for the day?
What you absolutely will do in that day?
Have you said your affirmations, your I am, who are you?
Have you written your?
gratitude, have you celebrated your wins?
Those things that order your day
and renew your mind and calibrate you, okay?
And so a huge part of partnering with God,
there's a thing called first fruits.
And so you've got the first fruits of your money.
There was always a first fruit offering
as a way of saying, hey, God is my source.
I glorify him with the first part.
He's the first thing that gets,
that I give the money to, right?
And it's about the first fruits of your day.
What do you spend the greater part of your morning?
Are you letting the news influencing you?
Are you reading the news?
Are you go, go, go?
Are you already into business?
Are you already into fear, doubt and worry?
Or have you given the first fruit to God?
I encourage you starting from the minute
that you're laying in bed and you open your eyes, okay?
That you are giving your day to God.
The first fruit of the day to God, okay?
So Exodus 29 says you've got six days each week
for your ordinary work,
but the seventh day is the Sabbath day of rest.
So this is another thing is as we order our week,
it's really important.
Everything will expand to fill the container you give it.
That includes our days, that includes our weeks.
So if you look at the container of your week, okay?
Is there time for God first fruits?
Is there time that you're being very diligent
with your work, okay?
There's a lot in scripture about, you know,
see a man diligent in his ways.
He will not serve before mere men, he'll serve before kings.
So there's a level of being diligent with our work,
but also there must be, we cannot be workaholics.
There must be a place for rest.
God has established order in the week.
Six days shall you work,
but you need to have a day of rest.
And that can be also a rest from electronics,
being in nature and turn off all the electronic devices.
We're just bombarded with EMFs
that are affecting our body a lot.
It can be a time for worship,
and that's where you really got time to read
and to pray and to study.
Can be time to catch up on your rest, to sleep,
just lay out on a hammock.
Can be time to really bond with your loved ones
and your kids and be out playing together,
but a day of rest.
So having order, a divine order to your week,
it's not divine order to work 24 seven
and just be chasing money all day.
That's not divine order, okay?
And I love Psalms chapter 90 that says,
teach us, this is a prayer of Moses, I love this.
It says, teach us to number our days.
Bring order to our days, God.
Teach us to number our days
that we may have a heart of wisdom.
Wisdom is asking God to order your days,
to bring order to the chaos, right?
Creation, right?
It says that the world was just in total chaos.
It was formless, it was void,
and the spirit of God hovered it,
and then God spoke the word and it brought order.
God speaking word into your heart brings chaos into order.
Chaos in your thoughts, chaos in your body,
chaos in your money, it brings order.
This is how you know that you're walking with God.
Fear is replaced by love.
Chaos is replaced by order and peace and joy.
The fruits of the spirit, of the Holy Spirit
are love, joy, and peace, okay?
So let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us
and establish thou the work of our hands.
Yay, the work of our hands, establish it.
The prayer of Moses, okay?
Now, another divine order.
We need to start, it starts with us.
It's about taking personal responsibility.
It's not waiting for everybody else to change.
So divine order, it starts with us.
So I love, this verse says,
refuse to be a critic full of bias toward others
and judgment will not be passed on you
for you'll be judged by the same standard
that you've used to judge others.
The measure you use on them will be used on you.
Why would you focus on the flaw in someone else's life
and yet fail to notice the glaring flaws in your own, okay?
It's so easy to see what our kids and our spouse
and the government and our boss,
what they're doing.
wrong. It's so easy to see others flaws. And yet, so many of us are blind to our own flaws.
And so it says, how could you say to your friend, let me show you where you're wrong,
where you're guilty of even more when you're guilty of even more, you're being hypocritical
and a hypocrite. So here's the order, divine order. First, there's a first and there's
an, and then first acknowledge your own blind spots. This would change relationships. If
you're looking at yourself first, okay. Um, with your children, with your spouse,
first acknowledge, be aware and acknowledge your own blind spots and deal with them.
And then you'll be capable of dealing with a blind spot in your friends. So before you judge,
before you correct, before you give lots of advice, start at home, start with yourself first.
And it's always about with God. It's always out of the heart flows the issues of life.
So it's always about working from the inside to the out. The problem Jesus had with the
religious leaders is they were always focused from the outside. And so it was how you looked,
it was what rituals you did. It was how much you gave. It was how many times you went to church.
It was, it was always looking at how you dressed and, and, and did you dance and did you wear
jewelry and what did you eat and everything of the judgment. This is what Jesus had the
most problem with. It was about looking at the external. Okay. And, and Jesus said,
and wisdom all the way back to Proverbs 5,000 years ago, it said above all guard your heart
for out of the heart flow, the issues of life. So when you're trying to get to the root
of change of transformation of, of a spiritual walk, you've got to start with the heart.
Okay. Got to start with the heart. So with, with Jesus, okay. It's working from the inside
out with religion and Jesus hated religion and he hated hypocritical religion above all. Okay.
So you're not alone. If you don't like the hypocrisy that you might see in the church or
synagogue or wherever, wherever there's people. Okay. And so it's important that we're not
working from the outside in, we're not trying to do behavioral change. We're not trying to
do all of that. We're trying to work from the inside out. And so Jesus said, you blind Pharisees,
he's calling them blind. And there's the order first, first. Okay. Pretty metal first, number one.
Okay. Wash the inside of the cup or the dish. And then, so there's a first and then, and then
first deal with the inside and then the outside will become clean too. And so he really, he really
had a lot to say there. I mean, he, he called them, you know, hypocrites. He said, they're whitewashed
tombs. They're beautiful on the outside. They look, they smell good. They dress good. They drive
nice cars. You're beautiful on the outside. You put on a good show, but on the inside, they're
filled with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity. Jesus understood that hypocrisy
is when you're out of alignment. When, when what is on the outside is not revealing what's on the
inside, when on the inside is not matching what you're showing on the outside. This is a problem.
This is what people have a problem with in religion because they see through it because we know,
we feel it. Okay. They see through it. Okay. So order, the order is start at the heart, start at
the inside. Okay. And as part of that, there's an order before you are preaching or giving money or
generous on the outside, start with forgiveness because forgiveness will block every unforgiveness
will block everything else. So if you haven't forgiven others and not because they deserve it,
okay, they may not. I'm not saying that the rapist or the pedophile, or, you know, your dad,
that sexually abused you. I'm not saying he deserves forgiveness. That's between him and
God and asking forgiveness, but I must release the anger and the pain and the root of bitterness
that will make me sick.
that will stop like 2,500 functions of my liver
that will keep me from getting the blessings of God.
So for my sake,
it's not because the other person deserves it.
I must continuously be forgiving everyone and everything,
including myself.
And so Jesus was really clear about that.
And so that's why he say,
maybe when you're praying, a prayer is great,
but if you're praying and you have unforgiveness
and bitterness, no, no, no, first,
before you even get to that, first forgive, okay?
First forgive.
Maybe you're giving,
maybe you're standing at the offerings at the church, right?
And so it says, when you're praying, first forgive anyone
you're holding a grudge against
so your father in heaven will forgive your sins too.
I've been speaking all morning already.
Did a summit.
So my voice, okay.
So first forgiven, then you're gonna be forgiven.
If you're presenting an offering,
leave your offering there,
go make peace with your brother and then come.
God's more concerned with forgiveness than the offering.
Also starting with the end in mind,
Stephen Covey and Jesus did the same thing.
Don't begin until.
And so we're gonna pick up on the next one.
I think it's so rich.
I can't wait to share is the divine goodness,
the divine goodness, okay?
So let me just stop the share here.
Divine goodness is where we're gonna pick up.
And I think this will be the game changer.
I think a lot of people don't surrender to God
like I open with because they don't totally trust God
or they don't totally trust themselves.
And when the part of why they don't trust God,
they're not all convinced that God is good.
They're not all convinced that God is faithful.
Maybe they felt that God,
and maybe you felt like God didn't answer your prayer
or disappointed you.
Someone you loved died anyway,
or someone that God brought and they hurt you
or whatever is happening on this plane with other humans,
a lot can happen.
But when you really, really, really in your deepest knower
come to understand the goodness of God,
and I'm gonna share some really powerful things with you
on day seven,
and you really come to know the goodness of God,
it's such a game changer.
You're gonna pray different,
you're gonna believe different,
you're gonna speak different,
you're gonna expect different
