Okay. 55 00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:16.560 And the partnership is two part. That's God to partner with God. We have to learn to have a, 56 00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:24.160 uh, got people trying to come in. I got to let everybody in. Okay. I think I got everybody. Um, 57 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.200 so let me just double check and make sure I let everybody in this trying to get in. All right, 58 00:05:31.200 --> 00:05:35.680 welcome. Go ahead and mute and, um, turn your camera off during the teaching part, 59 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.400 and then we'll mastermind. Okay. We've already been having powerful mastermind before we start. 60 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:46.480 So this partnering with God is a two part relationship. So when it comes to God, 61 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:55.360 we've got to know. And that is beyond this kind of head knowledge. No. Okay. It's not just 62 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:01.920 believing like mental ascent. It's like, no, that you know, that you know, in the very fiber of 63 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:09.680 your being and trust, that means you rely confidently in spite. We walk by faith and not 64 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:16.720 by sight. So relying confidently, even if our eyes tell us different, you believe you are the 65 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:23.600 healed of the Lord. Even when you have symptoms, you believe that God is supplying all your needs 66 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:30.240 and that you're financially abundant. Even when your bank balance says zero or overdrawn, 67 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:37.040 it's not craziness. This is walking by faith. It's activating your inner senses. And so we have 68 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:43.760 to know, and we have to trust. And that that's half of the partnership is God. You got to know 69 00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:51.760 and trust him. And the other half is you've got to learn to know yourself and, and embody these 70 00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:59.040 truths and trust yourself. You have to be willing to trust that. Yes, the Holy spirit is speaking 71 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:06.480 and you can trust that this is hard for many people. And the funny thing is, is they'll trust 72 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.920 others before they'll trust themselves before they'll trust that they're the temple of the 73 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:17.040 Holy spirit. The Holy spirit is in them. They have the mind of Christ, but they're going to put their 74 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.600 trust in a guru. They're going to put their trust in an authority instead of learning how to 75 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:31.120 confidently trust Christ in me, the hope of glory. Okay. So this is the key as we partner. 76 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:37.120 It's that it's that two-part partnership and the battle is in the mind. It is the battle between 77 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:45.360 conforming when the world is shaping me and transforming where my mind is renewed and I 78 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.480 am creating the change. I'm shaping my world instead of my world shaping me. That battle 79 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:59.360 is in the mind. And we do that as one by one by one, we replace the lies with truth with what 80 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:05.280 the word says, the written word logos word we're in there. We're diving. We're embodying. If you 81 00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:12.560 have not read the book of Psalms, David probably wrestled with this better than anyone. Get a good 82 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:18.560 translation. Um, I, I love, you know, the new living translation. I really, really love the 83 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.720 passion translation. Um, you know, if you want word for word, I love the amplified, but you've 84 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:31.920 got to be in the word. And so I like, I started to have it 30, 40 years ago of reading five songs 85 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:40.559 a day. And, and, and you will find that ability to embody that faith. I also like to read one 86 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:45.840 proverb a day. There's 31 proverbs. There's one for every day of the month. Okay. So five songs, 87 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:56.560 one proverb where we begin to replace the lies of fear of separation of lack of not enoughness 88 00:08:56.560 --> 00:09:02.000 of being alone, of not being able to do it, of not being good enough. All of that stuff, 89 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:08.800 we replace it with the logos written word and the rainbow word where we're just be still 90 00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:18.880 and know that he is God, that I open my journal. I take out my pink gel pen and I put my questions 91 00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:24.880 out there to God. And I trust that he hears and then he answers. Cause that's what the word says. 92 00:09:24.880 --> 00:09:32.400 I trust that he will speak to me through me. And so then I take out the purple pen, which is God. 93 00:09:32.400 --> 00:09:37.840 And I just allow my pen and I don't judge it. And I don't look at it and I just let it right. And I 94 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:44.400 don't correct it. And when it comes to a stop and I say, is there more? And, and sometimes it's so 95 00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:49.840 little, it may be, it just starts by saying your name when God says your name. Or for me, he often 96 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:59.520 says my child and you let that flow. So you're, you're immersing, you're marinating in 97 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.880 the Logos Word of God and the Rhema Word of God. 98 00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:06.840 And you cannot substitute that. 99 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.720 And the best time to be renewing your mind 100 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.700 is first thing in the morning. 101 00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:14.460 When you first wake up, before you check your phone, 102 00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:18.840 before you allow the news, before you allow anything, 103 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.640 even if you have to lay there quietly, 104 00:10:21.640 --> 00:10:23.520 you start it right there. 105 00:10:23.520 --> 00:10:26.960 Your faith confessions, your invitations, 106 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.240 you start it, your gratitude, your declaration, 107 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.520 your affirmation, your visualize, because you're fresh. 108 00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:37.120 You can start a brand new day. 109 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.920 And the last thing before you fall asleep, 110 00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:43.760 because that sets what's gonna be going on 111 00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:45.040 during your sleep. 112 00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:47.560 Are you inviting encounters with God? 113 00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:49.740 Are you inviting heavenly dreams? 114 00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:53.160 Are you inviting the angels to minister to you? 115 00:10:53.160 --> 00:10:57.700 Are you inviting a deep sleep with the presence of God, 116 00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:59.600 with angels singing over you? 117 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.320 Are you inviting heavenly encounters 118 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:03.640 before you fall asleep? 119 00:11:03.640 --> 00:11:07.560 Or are you meditating on the wrong stuff? 120 00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:10.960 Are you meditating on what didn't get done? 121 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.880 Are you meditating on the bills that didn't get paid? 122 00:11:13.880 --> 00:11:17.620 Are you meditating on the fear, on the doubt?

So before this call, we were having 319 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:35.520 a conversation about this and I shared the story of gyrus and his daughter who was on the verge 320 00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:43.760 of death, sick, and, and gyrus goes to Jesus and asking for healing. And, and Jesus says, yes, 321 00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:50.240 he's going to go to the house. He's going to heal as they're on the way to get this healing. 322 00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:59.120 The people come from the house and they say, don't bother the teacher anymore. Your daughter's 323 00:21:59.120 --> 00:22:10.240 dead. Which report will you believe with your eyes and ears here? Okay. It's done. It's over. 324 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:19.680 She's dead. Leave Jesus alone. Let's go. I need to accept defeat or my no, no, no, no, no, no, 325 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:25.120 no. This miracle is mine. I'm not letting go. I'm walking by faith and not by sight. 326 00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:32.800 And Jesus knows this battle. And Jesus looks at gyrus and says, don't fear. Number one, 327 00:22:32.800 --> 00:22:38.960 don't let fear take over. That'll negate your faith. Don't fear when fear tries to rise up. 328 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:46.800 Oh, it's back. I'm sick. Oh, it's back. When fear tries to rise up, Jesus said, don't fear. 329 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:54.240 Only believe. And they go walking toward the house. And when they get to the house, 330 00:22:54.240 --> 00:23:00.080 all the people that believe in death and circumstances are everywhere. There's wailing, 331 00:23:00.080 --> 00:23:04.640 there's crying. If you've lived in these cultures at funerals, it's my goodness, 332 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:10.560 the weeping and the wailing and all of that. Okay. And so they get there. Jesus knows the next 333 00:23:10.560 --> 00:23:19.840 thing. Do not fear only believe surround yourself only with people of faith. So he will not allow 334 00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:26.080 anyone into the room, except those who are going to walk by faith. Peter, John, James, that's all 335 00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:31.120 that are allowed in the room. And I shared a story, a true story before that I don't have time 336 00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:38.160 to share right now about doing that, about creating the space for faith and not allowing 337 00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:49.600 other voices into your life. Okay. Not allowing other voices into your life. And so I was trying 338 00:23:49.600 --> 00:23:57.200 to turn off my email and I hopefully, okay. And so, so Jesus goes in and of course she's healed. 339 00:23:57.760 --> 00:24:04.560 So this faith, you're going to always have this battle. There's two arenas, always this battle 340 00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:14.000 for the mind, for your faith, always has two arenas. On one side is your faith. On the other 341 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:21.120 side, arena number two is your circumstances. If you allow yourself to focus on your circumstances, 342 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:27.920 it's over. The battle is over. If you keep your mind on faith, you speak faith, think faith, 343 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:41.040 activate faith, embody faith, you win always. So the key is we have to be undisturbed by our 344 00:24:41.040 --> 00:24:48.160 circumstances. So I love this Jeremiah 17, seven and eight, it says, but blessed, blessed, blessed, 345 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:54.320 blessed are those who trust. Remember I opened this, this is a trust walk. Those who trust in 346 00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:59.840 the Lord, even when their eyes don't see it, they trust and have made the Lord their hope. 347 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.800 and their confidence. 348 00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:04.240 What is your hope in? 349 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.800 We talked about this yesterday. 350 00:25:05.800 --> 00:25:08.380 Who or what is your source? 351 00:25:09.260 --> 00:25:11.120 Is it man? 352 00:25:11.120 --> 00:25:12.440 Is it the government? 353 00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:13.760 Is it your spouse? 354 00:25:13.760 --> 00:25:15.160 Is it your job? 355 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.200 Is it your pension fund? 356 00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:20.880 If your source is man-made, it can go away. 357 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.320 Or is your source God? 358 00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:29.880 Everything else is a resource. 359 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.840 It's the source showing up again, a resource. 360 00:25:33.840 --> 00:25:38.840 We are called to go to the source for the resources. 361 00:25:39.280 --> 00:25:42.360 And so blessed are those who trust in the Lord 362 00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:45.580 and have made the Lord their hope and their confidence. 363 00:25:45.580 --> 00:25:49.400 They're like trees planted along a river bank with roots. 364 00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.480 Remember, we got done reading in Ephesians, roots. 365 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.760 We've got to have roots 366 00:25:55.760 --> 00:25:57.800 because circumstances are gonna threaten 367 00:25:57.800 --> 00:25:59.760 to shake our very foundation. 368 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.760 And it's gonna get more so. 369 00:26:01.760 --> 00:26:04.280 In AI era where we're going, 370 00:26:04.280 --> 00:26:07.440 you're not often gonna know truth from falsehood, 371 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.720 what's happening, what's not happening, safe from danger. 372 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:13.360 It's gonna feel a bit crazy. 373 00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:15.360 There's gonna be a massive disruption 374 00:26:15.360 --> 00:26:18.840 like it's never been known in history, okay? 375 00:26:18.840 --> 00:26:23.840 You've got to be rooted deep into the water, 376 00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.360 the living water. 377 00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:31.360 And it says such trees are not bothered by the heat 378 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.720 or worried by long months of drought. 379 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:38.280 Their leaves stay green 380 00:26:38.280 --> 00:26:40.960 and they never stop producing fruit. 381 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.960 In other words, they're undisturbed by conditions, okay? 382 00:26:46.120 --> 00:26:51.120 Psalms 37, 19, they will not be disgraced in hard times, 383 00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:55.240 even in famine, replace the word famine, 384 00:26:55.240 --> 00:27:00.240 even in recession, even in pandemic, 385 00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:05.360 even in disruption, they'll have more than enough. 386 00:27:06.280 --> 00:27:08.800 And we can read in Galatians 26 387 00:27:08.800 --> 00:27:11.840 about a severe famine that hits 388 00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:14.160 and the Lord appears to Isaac. 389 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.320 And again, the voice of God tell us where to stay, 390 00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:22.000 where to go, where to plant, all of that. 391 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.200 The voice tells him, you see the word said, 392 00:27:26.040 --> 00:27:28.440 live here in this land, I'll be with you and I bless you. 393 00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.520 And sure enough, when Israel, Isaac planted his crops 394 00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:35.920 that year, he harvested a hundred times. 395 00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:38.600 He had a hundred fold increase, okay? 396 00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:40.280 For the Lord blessed him. 397 00:27:40.280 --> 00:27:43.360 He became a very rich man. 398 00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:46.440 Now the famine was still going on all around us. 399 00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:48.720 You'll see that with Goshen as well. 400 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:53.320 You'll see this throughout scripture that the pandemic, 401 00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:56.800 the disruption, the recession, 402 00:27:56.800 --> 00:27:59.720 the whatever fill in the blank can be going on 403 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:04.040 all around you that does not take away God's power. 404 00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:06.320 It does not take away his blessings. 405 00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:10.080 It does not limit what he can do in and through you 406 00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:12.520 and how you can be blessed to be a blessing. 407 00:28:12.520 --> 00:28:15.080 We see that with Joseph during the famine. 408 00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:17.520 I mean, I could go on and on and on, right? 409 00:28:17.520 --> 00:28:19.000 He became a very rich man. 410 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.120 His wealth continued to grow in the middle of a famine. 411 00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:26.600 Now he sowed, we've got to activate the flow. 412 00:28:26.600 --> 00:28:28.680 He tithed, he blessed, all of that. 413 00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.200 I don't have time to go into it. 414 00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.000 My point is we're undisturbed. 415 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.640 So the next thing we want to look at 416 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:41.440 when we're looking at hearing the voice of God is timing, 417 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.480 understanding divine timing. 418 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:47.920 There's two words for time in the Bible, 419 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:52.920 Kairos, which is God timing, the perfect moment, okay? 420 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:58.400 Kairos and Kronos, which is chronological time, 421 00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:00.760 two types of time. 422 00:29:00.760 --> 00:29:05.760 John 7, verses four through six, Jesus understood Kairos. 423 00:29:07.040 --> 00:29:09.640 So his brothers are really starting to go to him. 424 00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.440 Hey, stop hiding, show up, get out there. 425 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.880 If you're this miracle worker, get out there. 426 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:16.760 And so the brothers say to Jesus, 427 00:29:16.760 --> 00:29:18.600 you can't become famous. 428 00:29:18.600 --> 00:29:20.400 You're not going to be a famous rabbi. 429 00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.320 You're not going to be an influencer. 430 00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:25.880 You're not going to be a guru if you hide like this. 431 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:28.160 If you can really do, look at the doubt. 432 00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:31.640 Same thing Satan always says, if you really are, 433 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.400 if you really believe. 434 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.280 So if you can do such wonderful things, 435 00:29:36.280 --> 00:29:38.680 show yourself to the world. 436 00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.400 For even his brothers didn't believe in him. 437 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:46.400 Jesus replied, now is not the right time. 438 00:29:47.760 --> 00:29:50.840 For me to go, but you can go anytime. 439 00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:53.160 So Jesus knew divine timing. 440 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.120 He knew when to go and when to stay. 441 00:29:56.120 --> 00:29:59.160 You also see this in a story in John 11. 442 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.600 Take this in and apply it personally. 443 00:30:02.600 --> 00:30:07.600 We have to know when to go and when to stay. 444 00:30:09.080 --> 00:30:13.240 There's a powerful prayer that David prays 445 00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:15.840 in the Old Testament that says, 446 00:30:15.840 --> 00:30:19.400 shall I go to battle? 447 00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.760 Shall I and will you? 448 00:30:23.760 --> 00:30:27.000 Shall I go and will you prosper me? 449 00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.940 Will you bless me? 450 00:30:28.020 --> 00:30:30.300 Will you cause me to win this?
