1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.360
All right, we are live day six for this bonus masterclass, really, really stepping into

2
00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:12.960
your identity.

3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.000
And now we're going to go over and we are going to go grab the Prosper Women in the

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.320
Prosper Women Facebook group.

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.200
We want to make sure that they are joining us this morning.

6
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:28.160
So I've got to focus here, make sure I do this right.

7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:36.120
We want this to go to the Prosper Women group and the Prosper Women grow your faith, income

8
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:39.400
and impact, go live.

9
00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:46.640
Okay, that should be welcoming those that are watching on Facebook.

10
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.800
Looks like everybody is together.

11
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:57.200
Welcome, welcome, welcome back all of you beautiful women, amazing gentlemen.

12
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:06.720
What a six days we have had, and I want to say today is the crowning glory of it because

13
00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.560
I believe it's going to be the biggest transformation so far, but you never know.

14
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.120
We got two more bonus days on Monday and Tuesday, so who knows what God's going to do, which

15
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:24.440
one ends up being the crowning glory, but this is going to be such an important day.

16
00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:27.840
So welcome, welcome, welcome.

17
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:39.200
We are looking today at our identity, our identity, who are we?

18
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.760
By the way, I looked up the root word, where does the word identity come from?

19
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:57.200
It means same, it means identifying what we are the same with, what we are different with.

20
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:05.640
I like to say it means same with love, same with Jesus, same with God, that's what I want

21
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:14.320
to say, but this is one of the most important topics that we could possibly talk about.

22
00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:19.280
This morning in the shower, I was reminded of a story, so it's not in your notes, but

23
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.680
it comes from Numbers 13 and 33.

24
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.960
That's a lot of threes, that's divine perfection, Numbers 13 and 33.

25
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:36.640
It's the story about when they inhabit the promised land, and many of you right now,

26
00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:43.120
you're just on the border of the promised land of everything that God has promised you,

27
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:49.000
and of course, when they came into the promised land, when they came into the promised land,

28
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.880
they saw giants.

29
00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:57.400
They were called Nephilim, they were the sons of Anak, and so going into the promised land,

30
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.360
you're going to face giants, okay?

31
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:09.840
And I think one of the giants, maybe you haven't seen this before, but one of the biggest giants

32
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.280
is really discovering who you are.

33
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.800
Who are you?

34
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.440
Why are you here?

35
00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:18.640
What is your purpose?

36
00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:24.680
Because when you go past that giant, the whole promised land is yours.

37
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:32.240
I got that revelation this morning, and there's an interesting verse there in verse 33, and

38
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:40.360
I'm recounting the story, and they said, we were in our own eyes.

39
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:41.960
In other words, how we saw ourself.

40
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.520
Today's about your self-concept, how you see yourself.

41
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:51.800
And it says, we were in our own eyes, in our own sight, I guess is what it says in the Amplified.

42
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:57.760
We were in our own sight as grasshoppers.

43
00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:00.160
How interesting.

44
00:04:01.160 --> 00:04:08.480
These are the sons of God, created in God's image, who have been following God, who have

45
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:10.680
got the promise of a promised land.

46
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.640
They're stepping into a promised land.

47
00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:16.000
They've got all access to all power.

48
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.680
I mean, you know, fire had led them by night, a cloud had led them by day, water had come

49
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.400
out of the rock, they've crossed the Red Sea.

50
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:33.440
I mean, so much has happened to get into this promised land, and here they are on the brink

51
00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:40.880
of the promised land, and it says that they saw themselves as grasshoppers.

52
00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:46.280
And it says, and so we were in their sight.

53
00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:54.800
In other words, translation, we saw ourselves as really puny, insignificant, lacking, not

54
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.920
having everything we need, not complete, missing, broken, however you want to look at it.

55
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.360
as grasshoppers. And because we saw ourselves that way, that's what we put out there. That's

56
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.320
how we showed up. That's how we projected ourselves. And guess what? We teach people

57
00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:19.920
how to treat us. We teach people how to see us. You're teaching your premier clients how to see

58
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:28.160
you. Is it as a grasshopper or is it as a son and daughter of the Most High God? That is what

59
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:37.520
God showed me in the shower this morning. Wow. Wow. You can put wow in the chat if that hits you

60
00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:49.440
like it hit me. And so I find it fascinating. I'm going to share. I'm going to share a lot

61
00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:57.040
of scriptures today, okay? And you may come from any faith background. There's no judgment. There's

62
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:04.640
no expectation. I'm going to share what I've learned from my full heart, what has transformed

63
00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:11.440
me. And so I'm going to be sharing from scripture. But here's what I find so fascinating. If you can

64
00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:17.520
just, if you could just be open and listen and see where you fit. I believe that scripture has

65
00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.360
so many layers. There's historical, there's metaphorical, there like there's so many layers,

66
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:31.040
right? There's prophetic and all of that. I want you to see yourself in each of these.

67
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:40.000
And I find it fascinating. I find it fascinating that even 5,000 years ago when many of these

68
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.280
verses were written, they were still struggling with the same issues. They were seeing themselves

69
00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:51.840
as grasshoppers. So this whole deal isn't new to us. We're not real original struggling to figure

70
00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:57.600
out who we are and why we're here and what our purpose is. It's as old as time. You realize that?

71
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:06.160
And so it's so important. So you think about, you start out as a child and you're just this blank

72
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.440
slate and you're just so excited. Before we started the call, Earlene was sharing all these amazing

73
00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:20.240
things about her grandchildren. And it's like, we start out as children and we start out imitating.

74
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:28.000
We might put on our mama's high heels or our daddy's shoes. And we might, you know, I have a

75
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.480
picture of me as a baby and I've got a phone, the kind that, you know, used to plug in the wall,

76
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:37.040
you know, the great big ones. Yeah, I'm dating myself. And so here I am in diapers and I'm

77
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:43.040
holding the phone. I must've seen someone else doing that, right? So we start out imitating

78
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:51.840
and we're born with the desire to fit in. Like we have this hole in our heart when we're born

79
00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:59.280
and it's a hole that says, I want to belong. It's a hole that says, I want to have significance.

80
00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:06.960
I desire to belong. I desire to be significant. I desire to be liked. I desire to be loved.

81
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:18.400
And so in that process, we're brought in to a human dynamic and we've got parents. And some

82
00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:25.040
of us had one, some of us had two, some of us had many. And they've had their own journey.

83
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.800
They've been going through their own story. They've got their own wounding. They've got

84
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:37.200
their own struggles. And they now begin to raise us in whatever form they know how to do.

85
00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:46.640
And very often they now start to conform us. They start to tell us who we are, what we should do,

86
00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:51.200
what we shouldn't do, what we should say, what we shouldn't say, what we should like,

87
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:57.360
what we shouldn't like. And of course there's reward and punishment the same way that, you know,

88
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.320
you would domesticate a dog in a lot of ways, right? And so you got the praise. You're such

89
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:07.920
a good girl. You're such a good boy. You got a smile. You got a hug. You maybe got a treat,

90
00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:13.760
right? Or you got, man, that doesn't cut it. You do that. I'm going to cut off the love.

91
00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:18.960
Does any of you know what I'm talking about? Like, can any of you relate? So in this,

92
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:25.520
whatever you want to call it, you know, pool, cesspool, whatever it is that you grew up in,

93
00:09:25.520 --> 00:09:30.080
right? For me, it was probably closer to a cesspool than a pool, but whatever it is that

94
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.440
you grew in, there might've been abuse. There might've been trauma. There might, you know,

95
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.600
but it's in this place that we're trying to figure out our identity.

96
00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:42.240
And this is the thing that's going to shape us for the rest of our life.

97
00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:48.160
It's the thing that's going to decide how much we earn. It's going to decide what kind of partner

98
00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:54.560
we choose. It's going to decide what we will tolerate. It's going to decide what we will

99
00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:59.840
have faith and expectation for. It's going to decide what you'll charge, what kind...

100
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.520
the clients you'll attract, how big of a business,

101
00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:04.600
what kind of job will you take?

102
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.200
Like, this is it.

103
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.800
I had to put this study as part of Offers That Prosper

104
00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:14.880
because if we don't get deep and anchored and rooted in this,

105
00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:16.120
nothing else matters.

106
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.320
I can give you all the skills, all the tactics,

107
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:23.320
I can give you anything, but this, this is where it's at.

108
00:10:23.520 --> 00:10:28.000
And so we begin now as others try to make us in their image

109
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:32.280
and we begin to create our self-concept.

110
00:10:32.280 --> 00:10:35.280
And so we come to these conclusions,

111
00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:38.680
who we are and who we're not,

112
00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:42.560
and what we can do and what we can't do,

113
00:10:42.560 --> 00:10:45.760
and what's good and what's bad and what's missing

114
00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:46.800
and what's broken.

115
00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:50.160
Can any of you relate to what I'm saying?

116
00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:55.160
Now, on top of that, if you want to look at it

117
00:10:55.400 --> 00:10:59.480
from scripturally from an enemy, from Satan,

118
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.560
from the deceiver, from the father of lies,

119
00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:07.560
there's two things that are attempted to be taken from us.

120
00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:11.640
Right?

121
00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:16.640
So we've got all of this going on, right?

122
00:11:18.400 --> 00:11:23.080
We've got what we're deciding about who we are

123
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.200
and if we're good, if we're bad,

124
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.360
some of you decided you were a mistake.

125
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.760
Maybe you even heard that you were a mistake.

126
00:11:31.760 --> 00:11:35.320
That's impossible in God's economy, right?

127
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.360
But some of you began to believe that.

128
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:38.720
Some of you began to believe

129
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.240
that you couldn't do anything right

130
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.640
because you kept trying and trying

131
00:11:41.640 --> 00:11:44.120
because you wanted to be loved, but it never worked.

132
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.480
You kept believing you couldn't do anything right.

133
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.600
Some of you were on a pedestal

134
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.080
and you got a little bit too big of an ego.

135
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.320
And so some of you began to think

136
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.520
that you just could do anything

137
00:11:57.520 --> 00:11:59.720
and then you may have needed to get kicked

138
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.160
off your high horse for a second

139
00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:03.600
because pride goes before the fall, right?

140
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.880
So all of this is going on

141
00:12:05.880 --> 00:12:08.840
as we're creating our self-concept.

142
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:09.800
Who are we?

143
00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:10.960
Who are we not?

144
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.160
What can we do?

145
00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:13.480
What can't we do?

146
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.760
And in this time, the enemy,

147
00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:20.800
the father of lies is stealing two things from you.

148
00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:21.960
Throughout your life,

149
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.640
there's two things he's gonna attempt to steal.

150
00:12:24.640 --> 00:12:29.080
And that is the word, the truth, the capital W word,

151
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.400
the truth, the truth of who God is,

152
00:12:31.400 --> 00:12:33.040
the truth of who you are,

153
00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:35.080
the truth of what you can do.

154
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.320
All of that, the word will be attempted to be stolen.

155
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.200
We saw that in the parable of the sower

156
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.400
and the bird just comes and just takes it away

157
00:12:43.400 --> 00:12:45.760
or the thorns come and crowd out the word.

158
00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:47.920
The seed was the word, right?

159
00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:50.480
So we saw all of these scenarios.

160
00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:52.360
The second thing, believe it or not,

161
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.160
that the enemy wants to steal is your identity.

162
00:12:55.160 --> 00:12:56.480
So this is so big.

163
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.480
This is foundational for who you are

164
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.800
and who you become

165
00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:04.440
and what kind of clients you're gonna attract

166
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.400
and how much you charge and who you marry

167
00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:09.840
and what you feel about yourself and all of that.

168
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.560
This is like, can you feel we're at the bedrock?

169
00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:18.120
Like this is where the rubber meets the road, right here.

170
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:20.080
And so for that reason,

171
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.760
we went into extra effort to create the study guide

172
00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:28.040
because there's, I can only whet your appetite today.

173
00:13:28.040 --> 00:13:31.200
I'm gonna try to pack as much in two hours as I can.

174
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:32.480
I could go four hours.

175
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.880
I could go 12 hours.

176
00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:34.840
I could go, you know,

177
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:36.520
I don't even know how many hours, right?

178
00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:38.040
This is such a deep subject.

179
00:13:38.040 --> 00:13:40.320
I've spent a lifetime studying this.

180
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.640
So, you know, Linda was up her labor of love till midnight.

181
00:13:44.640 --> 00:13:46.400
You've got it all here.

182
00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:49.680
So however far the Lord lets us get today,

183
00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:51.760
I'm gonna encourage you to keep on going.

184
00:13:51.760 --> 00:13:54.040
You study these verses, you pray,

185
00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:56.680
you ask God to show you, you meditate

186
00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:59.400
because there's nothing more important than this,

187
00:13:59.400 --> 00:14:02.840
discovering who you are and why you're here,

188
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.320
what your divine purpose is.

189
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.360
This is so foundational.

190
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.280
So 8 billion people on the planet,

191
00:14:09.280 --> 00:14:11.000
and there's only one you.

192
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:14.880
You've got your own unique fingerprints.

193
00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:17.200
You got your own unique eye prints.

194
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.240
When my kids were little and I homeschooled,

195
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.640
I used to take them outside to a big tree

196
00:14:21.640 --> 00:14:24.160
and I would challenge them to try to find two leaves

197
00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:25.280
that were the same.

198
00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:26.920
You can't do it.

199
00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:29.640
You can't do it, right?

200
00:14:29.640 --> 00:14:32.400
And you're not gonna find another you.

201
00:14:32.400 --> 00:14:35.920
There's one you, and there's a reason for that.

202
00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:38.720
There's things that only you can do.

203
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.960
There's an experience only you can live.

204
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.640
There's gifts only you can bring.

205
00:14:43.640 --> 00:14:46.240
8 billion on the planet.

206
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:51.240
So as we start with Matthew 16,

207
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.200
okay, Matthew 16, 15,

208
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.920
Jesus says to them,

209
00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:01.200
there has to be a way.

210
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.940
having an identity conversation, by the way.

211
00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:06.180
And they're saying, who do they say that I am?

212
00:15:06.180 --> 00:15:08.940
Jesus is on planet Earth now, and who do they say?

213
00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:13.500
And they go, well, some say that you're John the Baptist.

214
00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:14.860
Some say you're Elijah.

215
00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.700
Some say.

216
00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:19.860
And he looks at Peter, and he says, Peter,

217
00:15:19.860 --> 00:15:23.660
who do you say that I am?

218
00:15:23.660 --> 00:15:25.780
Who do you say that I am?

219
00:15:25.780 --> 00:15:27.820
Question we all have to ask.

220
00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:31.940
And Simon Peter answers, you are Christ, the Messiah,

221
00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:36.580
the anointed, the son of the living God.

222
00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:40.620
And Jesus' answer is really quite fascinating.

223
00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:45.740
He says, blessed, happy, spiritually secure,

224
00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:46.860
favored by God.

225
00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:48.540
I'm using the amplified so you really

226
00:15:48.540 --> 00:15:50.340
get the depth of the words.

227
00:15:50.340 --> 00:15:53.300
Happy, spiritually secure, favored by God.

228
00:15:53.300 --> 00:15:55.180
Are you Simon's son of Jonah?

229
00:15:55.180 --> 00:15:58.300
Because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you,

230
00:15:58.300 --> 00:16:00.980
but my father that is in heaven.

231
00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:03.940
You might want to circle the word reveal,

232
00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:06.300
because knowing your identity is going

233
00:16:06.300 --> 00:16:08.100
to come through revelation.

234
00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:10.660
It's going to come through revelation knowledge.

235
00:16:10.660 --> 00:16:14.100
It's going to come through the Father, the Holy Spirit,

236
00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:18.460
speaking through you and teaching you this.

237
00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:22.020
And so that's how he answered.

238
00:16:22.020 --> 00:16:24.060
But there's something even more interesting

239
00:16:24.060 --> 00:16:26.900
as we keep on going in that.

240
00:16:26.900 --> 00:16:33.700
For Jesus to say that to Peter, for Jesus to say, bingo,

241
00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:38.380
you got it right, spot on, 100%.

242
00:16:38.380 --> 00:16:41.020
And you didn't figure that out yourself.

243
00:16:41.020 --> 00:16:42.700
No one taught you that.

244
00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:44.660
That came through revelation knowledge.

245
00:16:44.660 --> 00:16:47.980
You're talking spirit language right now,

246
00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:50.420
revelation knowledge.

247
00:16:50.420 --> 00:16:53.780
Consider this, in order for Jesus

248
00:16:53.780 --> 00:16:57.500
to recognize Peter's answer as truth,

249
00:16:57.500 --> 00:17:02.300
to be able to say, bingo, spot on, yep,

250
00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:05.780
he had to already know his own identity,

251
00:17:05.780 --> 00:17:09.579
or he would not have been able to say that at that moment.

252
00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:13.780
You see, Jesus was not asking because he needed affirmation.

253
00:17:13.780 --> 00:17:15.099
Do you think I'm pretty?

254
00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:16.619
Do you think I'm strong?

255
00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:18.780
Do you think people like me?

256
00:17:18.780 --> 00:17:21.540
All the stuff we're doing on Instagram and all that stuff,

257
00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:24.420
put up my picture so everyone can say you look awesome

258
00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:25.619
and we can get all.

259
00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:28.500
No, Jesus wasn't doing any of that.

260
00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:30.660
He wasn't seeking affirmation.

261
00:17:30.660 --> 00:17:34.340
He was highlighting a profound principle,

262
00:17:34.340 --> 00:17:41.020
and that is knowing who we are in the eyes of God.

263
00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:44.780
So as you turn the page in your notes,

264
00:17:44.780 --> 00:17:49.220
we've got to ask the question as to who are we?

265
00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:50.380
Who am I?

266
00:17:50.380 --> 00:17:51.940
Why does it matter?

267
00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:56.620
We've got to ask, where do we get this identity?

268
00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:59.500
How do we know our identity?

269
00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:02.380
We want to know our identity because it's the bedrock.

270
00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:04.580
It's what we're going to base our life on.

271
00:18:04.580 --> 00:18:05.980
It's what we're going to remember.

272
00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:09.460
We learned that the prodigal son was in the pig pen.

273
00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:12.020
He was in a demeaning job.

274
00:18:12.020 --> 00:18:14.100
He was violating everything.

275
00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:15.820
He forgot who he was.

276
00:18:15.820 --> 00:18:19.900
Yeah, without identity, we end up in the pig pen,

277
00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:23.660
trying to satisfy eating pig food, right?

278
00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:28.340
And so we've got to ask, OK, I need identity.

279
00:18:28.340 --> 00:18:33.220
You're all here because you really want to make an impact.

280
00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:34.900
You want to leave a legacy.

281
00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:36.340
You want to make a great income.

282
00:18:36.340 --> 00:18:38.860
You want to build a beautiful business.

283
00:18:38.860 --> 00:18:40.100
You want to prosper.

284
00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:43.020
You want to prosper physically, relationally, spiritually.

285
00:18:43.020 --> 00:18:45.900
You want to do all these things, right?

286
00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:47.420
We've got to start with our identity.

287
00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:51.660
So where do we get our identity, right?

288
00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:56.500
So Peter began to show us that it comes from Revelation.

289
00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:59.420
Well, let's back up the story in Jesus.

290
00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:02.820
So those verses that you saw that we just read,

291
00:19:02.820 --> 00:19:06.220
Jesus was already like in his 30s, OK?

292
00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:12.380
Let's back up a little bit to when

293
00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:18.580
he comes to his cousin, John, and asks to be baptized.

294
00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:22.780
John had gotten Revelation, who Jesus was.

295
00:19:22.780 --> 00:19:28.220
And John said, I'm not even worthy to untie your sandals.

296
00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:31.860
And yet, he comes to his cousin, John,

297
00:19:31.860 --> 00:19:33.620
and he wants to be baptized.

298
00:19:33.620 --> 00:19:34.340
So he is.

299
00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:36.260
He's baptized in the River Jordan.

300
00:19:36.260 --> 00:19:36.940
I've been there.

301
00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:38.300
I've seen it.

302
00:19:38.300 --> 00:19:39.780
It's beautiful.

303
00:19:39.780 --> 00:19:43.620
And he comes up from the water.

304
00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:45.980
It was a full immersion baptism.

305
00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:48.500
He comes up from out of the water.

306
00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:51.020
And we see the Trinity.

307
00:19:51.020 --> 00:19:54.260
We see the three parts of the Godhead.

308
00:19:54.260 --> 00:19:59.020
And so it says, behold, the heavens were opened.

309
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.000
And I saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove.

310
00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:09.360
So we see the Holy Spirit take on the form of a dove,

311
00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:12.820
lands on his shoulder, right there.

312
00:20:12.820 --> 00:20:17.060
And we hear a voice from heaven.

313
00:20:17.060 --> 00:20:20.380
There's a voice from heaven that says,

314
00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:25.460
this is my son, my beloved, in whom I delight.

315
00:20:31.820 --> 00:20:35.660
That's where Jesus got his identity, right there.

316
00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:37.920
He got it straight from the source,

317
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.520
straight from the Father, straight from love itself.

318
00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:44.660
This is my son.

319
00:20:45.780 --> 00:20:47.740
This is my son.

320
00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:50.300
Now, scripturally, you'll start to understand

321
00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:53.940
that the word son is used collectively for humanity.

322
00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:56.500
We're all God's sons, okay?

323
00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:58.380
And you're gonna see a lot of very powerful things

324
00:20:58.380 --> 00:20:59.280
about that.

325
00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:03.020
My beloved, in whom I delight.

326
00:21:04.760 --> 00:21:08.980
So there's an exercise there for you right now

327
00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:11.240
to think about for just a second.

328
00:21:13.060 --> 00:21:14.820
Who do you?

329
00:21:14.820 --> 00:21:18.440
Like we saw, we opened when they were in the promised land

330
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.840
and they saw themselves as grasshoppers, right?

331
00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:22.760
And we can do that.

332
00:21:22.760 --> 00:21:24.640
We can really tear ourselves down.

333
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.000
We can really make ourselves small and it says,

334
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.160
and so everybody else saw him like that too, right?

335
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.520
I'm gonna ask you a really honest, heartfelt question

336
00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:35.640
right now in your notes.

337
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:40.640
Who do you say that you are?

338
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:46.520
Write it down, maybe write it in the chat if you want.

339
00:21:46.520 --> 00:21:49.000
Who do you say?

340
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.320
And those of you in Facebook, write it in the Facebook.

341
00:21:52.320 --> 00:21:56.240
Who do you say that you are?

342
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.320
Now, before you say something really fancy and religious

343
00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:02.080
or try to give the right answer,

344
00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:04.200
I'm gonna go a little deeper for a second.

345
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:11.000
What do you most commonly say about yourself?

346
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:16.000
What are the words that you most often use

347
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.040
to describe yourself?

348
00:22:23.040 --> 00:22:25.440
And if you look in the mirror,

349
00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:30.640
what do you say about yourself?

350
00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:36.080
And when you're describing yourself to someone,

351
00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:38.560
how do you describe yourself?

352
00:22:38.760 --> 00:22:41.200
How do you describe yourself?

353
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.280
And when you really get rock bottom

354
00:22:44.280 --> 00:22:45.960
and you're thinking about yourself,

355
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.320
it's still even in your thoughts, maybe you don't share.

356
00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:56.400
Who do you say that you are?

357
00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:01.240
I love that.

358
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.720
Angela says, I'm a daughter of the king, a princess,

359
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.520
and my husband treats me that way.

360
00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:08.640
That's so beautiful, Angela.

361
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:10.200
It's exactly as we saw.

362
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.360
We teach people how to treat us.

363
00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:15.720
As we see ourselves, others will.

364
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.160
JD says the same thing.

365
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.400
I'm the daughter of the king of kings.

366
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:21.080
Okay, beautiful.

367
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:24.880
That sounds good.

368
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:31.680
Ashley says, found, chosen, handmade, papa's handmade.

369
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.240
Papa's handmade.

370
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:40.920
Okay, created in his image, a savior's child.

371
00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:43.040
I own it.

372
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:46.080
I wonder how many of you own it,

373
00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:48.400
but how many of you are saying,

374
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.040
if you're really, really honest,

375
00:23:51.040 --> 00:23:54.720
you're saying, yeah, I know that's what I should say,

376
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:59.320
but the truth is, here's another way to test.

377
00:23:59.320 --> 00:24:03.640
The two most powerful words in the universe

378
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.920
are the name of God, which is I am.

379
00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:11.520
That's your identity, I am.

380
00:24:11.520 --> 00:24:13.640
I wanna know what you typically,

381
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:18.640
what's the most common thing that you put after I am?

382
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:24.280
Any of the others say, sick and tired?

383
00:24:24.280 --> 00:24:26.600
Any of you say, broke?

384
00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:29.000
Any of you, any of those things

385
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.800
that you ever put after the name of God there?

386
00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:33.320
I am his.

387
00:24:33.320 --> 00:24:34.960
I love that.

388
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.400
Okay, someone, I am at rock bottom.

389
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.720
Okay, so there's so many.

390
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.000
I'm dearly loved and chosen.

391
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:45.840
That's a beautiful one.

392
00:24:45.840 --> 00:24:49.200
I can't even see all these, they're going so fast,

393
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.640
but I love that you're taking an honest look.

394
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.200
Who do you say?

395
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:59.200
Another thing to look at is, what do you call my, my?

396
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.000
We know that, well, I won't get into that right now.

397
00:25:06.520 --> 00:25:08.060
What do you call my?

398
00:25:08.060 --> 00:25:11.960
In other words, do you say things like my cancer,

399
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:16.200
my arthritis, my diabetes?

400
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.320
If you do, stop.

401
00:25:18.320 --> 00:25:21.000
Stop, replace my with the word the.

402
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.160
Stop making it part of you.

403
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:25.640
Do you say my ADHD is getting to me?

404
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:28.920
My dementia is getting, like, do you say these things?

405
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.520
Do you say I am something you'd never say about God?

406
00:25:32.520 --> 00:25:34.020
You wouldn't say God is broke.

407
00:25:34.020 --> 00:25:35.800
You wouldn't say God is sick and tired.

408
00:25:35.800 --> 00:25:36.640
You wouldn't say God.

409
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:41.640
Don't put after the words I am anything that God is not,

410
00:25:41.840 --> 00:25:44.200
and God doesn't say that you are.

411
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.840
And don't put behind my the things

412
00:25:47.840 --> 00:25:50.280
that you don't truly wanna make part of you

413
00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:52.240
and your identity.

414
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.240
So you do the exercise.

415
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:55.860
Who do you say you are?

416
00:25:55.860 --> 00:26:00.180
And now compare it with who God says you are,

417
00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:04.040
and do they match?

418
00:26:04.040 --> 00:26:05.580
Do they match?

419
00:26:07.860 --> 00:26:09.920
Is that a fascinating insight?

420
00:26:11.340 --> 00:26:14.100
Do the things you say about yourself

421
00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:18.640
and what God says about you, are they in alignment?

422
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.060
Do they match?

423
00:26:20.060 --> 00:26:21.220
I gotta look at the chat.

424
00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:24.860
I wanna hear some of your conversation, okay?

425
00:26:26.860 --> 00:26:29.020
We forget who we are.

426
00:26:29.020 --> 00:26:33.900
We say, okay, thank you for your heart sharing.

427
00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:35.460
I'm gonna pause for a second,

428
00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:36.580
because some of you have been saying

429
00:26:36.580 --> 00:26:40.060
some really mean things to yourself, okay?

430
00:26:40.060 --> 00:26:41.180
Some of you have been believing

431
00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:43.580
some very terrible lies about yourself.

432
00:26:43.580 --> 00:26:45.600
I'm gonna pause for a second, and I'm gonna pray,

433
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:47.380
and then we're gonna keep on going.

434
00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:50.500
Father God, right here, right now,

435
00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:52.300
in the mighty name of Jesus,

436
00:26:52.300 --> 00:26:55.540
I pray that every negative word

437
00:26:55.540 --> 00:27:00.540
that has ever been spoken over my sisters or my brothers

438
00:27:00.540 --> 00:27:02.820
on this call or on any replay,

439
00:27:02.820 --> 00:27:05.780
any negative word that has been spoken by themselves

440
00:27:05.780 --> 00:27:09.260
or by others that maybe they have internalized,

441
00:27:09.260 --> 00:27:12.340
they have taken and eaten and chewed on it,

442
00:27:12.340 --> 00:27:13.580
in the name of Jesus,

443
00:27:13.580 --> 00:27:18.200
I ask that every one of those word curses will be broken,

444
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.700
and that those words will fall lifeless

445
00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.960
to the ground right now.

446
00:27:22.620 --> 00:27:23.920
The Bible talks about fiery darts

447
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.300
that fall lifeless to the ground.

448
00:27:26.300 --> 00:27:29.280
I'm asking that today, those words, those beliefs,

449
00:27:29.280 --> 00:27:32.480
those thoughts that don't line up with your word,

450
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:36.680
that today, they fall lifeless to the ground.

451
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.720
Okay, now we'll keep on going.

452
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.000
This is so important.

453
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.800
You know, I tell my kids sometimes,

454
00:27:45.800 --> 00:27:50.300
they'll say that someone said something about them,

455
00:27:50.300 --> 00:27:51.940
and it just wiped them out.

456
00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:54.940
It was just really bad, whatever they said about them.

457
00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:57.940
And I said, it can only wipe you out

458
00:27:57.940 --> 00:28:00.700
if you're believing that yourself.

459
00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:05.700
In other words, if I say to you, you are such a crocodile.

460
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:07.940
I mean, you're the worst crocodile

461
00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:10.780
I've ever seen in my life, right?

462
00:28:10.780 --> 00:28:12.900
You're the worst purple panda

463
00:28:12.900 --> 00:28:15.300
that I've ever seen in my life.

464
00:28:15.300 --> 00:28:18.620
You're gonna think, she's nuts, it's not going in.

465
00:28:19.620 --> 00:28:23.340
But if I say something that resonates

466
00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:25.660
with what you've been believing about yourself,

467
00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:27.420
now we assimilate it.

468
00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:28.460
Do you understand?

469
00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:31.100
That's why the work starts first inside.

470
00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:33.180
Who does God say I am?

471
00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:36.740
Let me make sure that my thoughts, my feelings,

472
00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:40.840
and my words line up with capital T truth,

473
00:28:40.840 --> 00:28:42.820
the truth that you are love,

474
00:28:42.820 --> 00:28:45.620
the truth that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit,

475
00:28:45.620 --> 00:28:48.040
the truth that you have the mind of Christ,

476
00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:49.940
the truth that you are chosen

477
00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:51.760
before the foundation of the world.

478
00:28:51.760 --> 00:28:56.520
You see, we've got to make sure it lines up who we are,

479
00:28:56.520 --> 00:28:57.360
right?

480
00:28:57.360 --> 00:29:00.120
So really, really powerful.

481
00:29:00.120 --> 00:29:05.120
Now, what ends up happening is that our identity gets,

482
00:29:05.600 --> 00:29:08.440
it gets tested, it gets refined.

483
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.240
This is a process, okay?

484
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.880
And so I'm telling you that the journey starts today.

485
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:17.320
Maybe for some of you, you've been on the road

486
00:29:17.320 --> 00:29:18.400
and you're further ahead.

487
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:20.240
For some of you, you're just thinking about this

488
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:21.620
for the first time.

489
00:29:21.620 --> 00:29:24.360
The journey starts today.

490
00:29:24.360 --> 00:29:28.360
I had a woman that called that was interested in coaching.

491
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.240
And she, God just reminded me the story, okay?

492
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.920
And she said, dealing with so much abuse.

493
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.380
I left an abusive husband.

494
00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:40.760
I was severely abused.

495
00:29:40.760 --> 00:29:43.240
And before that, I was in abusive relationships.

496
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:46.000
So I left an abusive relationship.

497
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.320
And I'm feeling compassion.

498
00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:49.280
I'm feeling sad.

499
00:29:49.280 --> 00:29:50.320
I know what that is.

500
00:29:50.320 --> 00:29:52.240
Emotional abuse, physical abuse.

501
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:57.240
And she says, and I'm abused on the job.

502
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.440
I'm in an abusive situation in the job.

503
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.920
job, now my ears are starting to pick up something and say,

504
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.560
huh, interesting.

505
00:30:05.560 --> 00:30:06.800
She doesn't stop.

506
00:30:06.800 --> 00:30:10.760
She says, you know, even my neighbors are abusing me.

507
00:30:10.760 --> 00:30:14.480
Now, oh, we saw ourself as grasshoppers,

508
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:16.760
and so they saw us.

509
00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:24.200
I said to her, sister, where are you abusing yourself?

510
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:26.400
No, no, no, no, I don't abuse myself.

511
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:28.600
I love myself.

512
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:31.720
I said, where are you abusing yourself?

513
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:33.800
No, I'm telling you, I exercise.

514
00:30:33.800 --> 00:30:34.840
I eat right.

515
00:30:34.840 --> 00:30:36.000
I don't abuse myself.

516
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.400
No, I've really gotten past that.

517
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:40.320
I'm thinking, no, when your whole world is

518
00:30:40.320 --> 00:30:43.360
showing something, there's something going on inside.

519
00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:46.120
As within, so without, right?

520
00:30:46.120 --> 00:30:48.920
And everything starts inside.

521
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:51.000
OK, there's something off here.

522
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.160
So I finally, God gives me revelation.

523
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.720
And I said, when you look in the mirror,

524
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:01.840
what do you say about yourself when you look in the mirror?

525
00:31:01.840 --> 00:31:04.760
She says, oh, I really beat myself up.

526
00:31:04.760 --> 00:31:07.640
I said, that would be abuse.

527
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:09.600
That would be abuse.

528
00:31:09.600 --> 00:31:10.800
You see how this works?

529
00:31:10.800 --> 00:31:13.720
I'm praying that you're getting a little bit of revelation

530
00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:16.120
as to how to make the switch.

531
00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:18.440
We've got to renew our mind.

532
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.000
The Bible says we're transformed by the renewing of our mind.

533
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:25.400
And then we've got to get that deep into our heart

534
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.520
so we're living in that frequency.

535
00:31:27.520 --> 00:31:29.360
We're elevating our frequency.

536
00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:32.480
And we've got to make sure that our words are lined up

537
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.320
because our words are sickle.

538
00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:37.040
The words are the sickle that go out and harvest.

539
00:31:37.040 --> 00:31:39.080
The words create our reality.

540
00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:40.600
There's so much power.

541
00:31:40.600 --> 00:31:43.000
The words are a living frequency.

542
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.560
And it says your words don't return void.

543
00:31:45.560 --> 00:31:48.640
They bring back that which you created them for.

544
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.880
So words are incredibly powerful, right?

545
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.160
Scripture says, out of the heart, the mouth speaks.

546
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:58.080
So when you're speaking it out of your mouth,

547
00:31:58.080 --> 00:31:59.640
it means you've already had it in your heart.

548
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:00.840
And if you already had it in your heart,

549
00:32:00.840 --> 00:32:02.200
it's because you already thought it.

550
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:03.600
So this is how it works, right?

551
00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:04.840
You think the thought.

552
00:32:04.840 --> 00:32:06.600
It goes deep into your heart.

553
00:32:06.600 --> 00:32:07.520
You feel it.

554
00:32:07.520 --> 00:32:09.960
You get into the feeling tonality of it.

555
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.920
Lives in your heart.

556
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:14.600
And then scripture says, out of the heart, the mouth speaks.

557
00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:16.200
And so by the time you're speaking it,

558
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.160
it's already been in the mind and the heart.

559
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:20.960
So it's your clue.

560
00:32:21.040 --> 00:32:24.120
Listen to your words.

561
00:32:24.120 --> 00:32:25.120
All right, I love.

562
00:32:25.120 --> 00:32:26.640
Somebody said, it's not my business

563
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:28.200
what others think about me.

564
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:29.080
That's so true.

565
00:32:29.080 --> 00:32:31.640
I've had to learn that, okay?

566
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:35.000
All right, so the identity gets tested.

567
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.680
And so there we are at Matthew 3, Jesus' baptism.

568
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.480
He got his identity from the father.

569
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:42.920
You're my son.

570
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:44.920
You are loved, okay?

571
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.240
You're chosen, right?

572
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:49.960
And then we find just a few verses later,

573
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.400
just a little history later, Matthew 4.

574
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.280
We're on the next page there where the identity is tested.

575
00:32:56.280 --> 00:32:59.360
Matthew 4, okay?

576
00:32:59.360 --> 00:33:04.000
And in Matthew 4, it says,

577
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:09.000
and the tempter came and said to him.

578
00:33:10.360 --> 00:33:13.920
Now, by the way, this still happens a lot.

579
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.600
And the tempter may be in your spirit that you hear a voice.

580
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:21.480
The tempter may be in a relative.

581
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.800
The tempter may be in a friend that you really trusted, okay?

582
00:33:25.800 --> 00:33:27.840
I mean, with Jesus, it was even in Judas,

583
00:33:27.840 --> 00:33:30.680
one of his 12 most intimate, okay?

584
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:35.600
So somewhere it's going to come where your identity,

585
00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:37.480
like, do you really believe

586
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.080
when you say you're a daughter or a son

587
00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:41.600
of the most high God and that you're dearly loved

588
00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:42.440
and that you're chosen?

589
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:43.440
Like, do you believe it?

590
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:44.880
That's gonna get refined.

591
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.120
You're gonna get a check on that

592
00:33:47.120 --> 00:33:49.360
when people say something about you

593
00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:51.720
or they do something to you.

594
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:55.040
And so in Matthew 4, 3 and 6, it says,

595
00:33:55.040 --> 00:33:57.880
and the tempter came and said to him,

596
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.880
if you are God's son, I want you to circle the word if.

597
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.600
If you are God's son.

598
00:34:06.600 --> 00:34:10.360
Now, do you think the tempter was probably at the baptism?

599
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:13.800
Do you think the tempter probably saw the dove descend?

600
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.120
You think the tempter probably heard heaven open,

601
00:34:17.120 --> 00:34:19.719
heard the voice say, right?

602
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:26.760
He changes and he says, if, if you are God's son,

603
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:33.480
command these stones to be made loaves of bread.

604
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:38.480
Now, some of you have had this in the form of if, if,

605
00:34:44.120 --> 00:34:45.800
if, prove it.

606
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:50.080
Maybe the if was in you, maybe it was outside of you,

607
00:34:50.080 --> 00:34:53.239
but it's like, I gotta prove it.

608
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:55.520
I gotta work for my identity.

609
00:34:55.520 --> 00:34:56.800
I gotta prove it.

610
00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:59.840
So the tempter's asking him to prove his,

611
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.000
identity by doing something.

612
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:06.560
So, and he goes on and he says to him,

613
00:35:06.560 --> 00:35:08.520
if, there's the second if,

614
00:35:08.520 --> 00:35:11.480
second temptation starts with if, circle if.

615
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.520
If you are the son of God, throw yourself down.

616
00:35:15.520 --> 00:35:18.240
Now we're gonna misquote scripture.

617
00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:21.840
For it's written, he will give his angels charge over you.

618
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.600
And they'll bury you up in their hands

619
00:35:25.600 --> 00:35:28.960
lest you strike your foot against its stone.

620
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.620
If you don't know your identity,

621
00:35:36.200 --> 00:35:41.200
then others are going to try to give you the identity.

622
00:35:41.720 --> 00:35:46.720
They're going to try to give you what they think

623
00:35:48.640 --> 00:35:52.080
that you should be, right?

624
00:35:53.680 --> 00:35:54.600
I got a lot of notes,

625
00:35:54.600 --> 00:35:55.800
cause I don't wanna get off track.

626
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:58.520
There's so much I wanna share with you in such a short time.

627
00:35:58.520 --> 00:36:00.640
That's why I'm looking down, okay?

628
00:36:00.640 --> 00:36:05.640
So, we must then be very, very clear

629
00:36:08.080 --> 00:36:13.080
on who we are and also who we are not.

630
00:36:14.780 --> 00:36:18.840
One of the ways we're gonna find our true identity

631
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:23.000
is discovering who we are not.

632
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:28.960
Now, put some of the things in the chat right now

633
00:36:31.720 --> 00:36:33.080
that you are not.

634
00:36:33.080 --> 00:36:33.980
Let me help you.

635
00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:38.980
The first one I'm going to say is you are not your titles.

636
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:41.640
Okay?

637
00:36:41.640 --> 00:36:43.960
So, meaning often if I say, who are you?

638
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:45.960
You go, well, I am a mother.

639
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:47.640
I am a vice president.

640
00:36:47.640 --> 00:36:49.040
I am a coach.

641
00:36:49.040 --> 00:36:50.360
No, that's a role.

642
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.480
That's not who you are.

643
00:36:52.520 --> 00:36:53.800
That's a role.

644
00:36:55.240 --> 00:36:58.780
We gotta separate our roles, which are what we do,

645
00:36:59.920 --> 00:37:03.500
and our identity, which is who we are.

646
00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:04.800
And we don't normally do that.

647
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.840
When someone says, tell me about you, who are you?

648
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.280
I wanna learn more about you.

649
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:12.600
You usually go, well, I'm a coach.

650
00:37:12.600 --> 00:37:13.720
I'm a mother.

651
00:37:13.720 --> 00:37:15.080
I'm a grandmother.

652
00:37:15.080 --> 00:37:18.240
I'm a founder of a company.

653
00:37:18.240 --> 00:37:19.640
We go into roles.

654
00:37:19.640 --> 00:37:24.640
So, who you are not, you are not a title.

655
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:28.800
Okay?

656
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:30.960
Someone else said, I am not my mistakes.

657
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:32.840
Beautiful.

658
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:33.660
Love that.

659
00:37:33.660 --> 00:37:34.500
No, you are not.

660
00:37:34.500 --> 00:37:36.040
You are not your past.

661
00:37:36.040 --> 00:37:36.880
Okay?

662
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:38.880
I'm not the lies that have been told to me.

663
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:40.240
No, you are not.

664
00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:41.520
You are the truth.

665
00:37:41.520 --> 00:37:42.800
You are love.

666
00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:46.100
I am not who my grandmother said.

667
00:37:46.100 --> 00:37:48.160
I am not stupid.

668
00:37:48.160 --> 00:37:50.400
There's those word curses we're talking about.

669
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:52.000
Can't you do anything right?

670
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:53.120
You're so stupid.

671
00:37:53.120 --> 00:37:53.960
Right?

672
00:37:55.240 --> 00:37:57.340
Doesn't line up with capital T truth.

673
00:37:57.340 --> 00:38:00.200
We've got to sort through that.

674
00:38:00.200 --> 00:38:01.360
Right?

675
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:05.920
So, I am not those words that were spoken over me.

676
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:06.920
Okay?

677
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:10.000
I am not a dirty, rotten sinner.

678
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:11.520
I love that.

679
00:38:11.520 --> 00:38:13.360
I love that.

680
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:17.120
I am not what I've been told most of my life.

681
00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:20.720
You know, from the time I was very young,

682
00:38:20.720 --> 00:38:24.760
I was called words that were swear words

683
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:27.600
that I didn't even know what they meant

684
00:38:27.600 --> 00:38:29.280
that I was called them.

685
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:31.360
Didn't even know what they meant.

686
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:32.240
Here's another one.

687
00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:34.360
I am not a burden.

688
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:36.940
I am not toxic.

689
00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:38.920
I am not my past.

690
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:40.600
This is so beautiful.

691
00:38:40.600 --> 00:38:42.640
So huge.

692
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:46.240
I am not, not enough.

693
00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:47.520
You guys are on it.

694
00:38:47.520 --> 00:38:48.680
This is so beautiful.

695
00:38:48.680 --> 00:38:51.640
Let me give you some more.

696
00:38:51.640 --> 00:38:55.400
I am not, unlikable, good one.

697
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:57.920
I am not my accomplishments.

698
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:00.320
Those are something I do.

699
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.240
I am not my accomplishments.

700
00:39:03.120 --> 00:39:05.760
Now, here's one that you maybe haven't thought of.

701
00:39:06.640 --> 00:39:08.800
I am not my physical body.

702
00:39:10.160 --> 00:39:13.880
Now, we're triune, just like God is triune.

703
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:14.720
Okay?

704
00:39:14.720 --> 00:39:17.280
But in the Bible spirit, we are too.

705
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:22.280
So we have a body, but we are not a body.

706
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.040
But too many in our day and age

707
00:39:27.040 --> 00:39:30.280
have associated themselves with a body.

708
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.000
So if the body starts showing wear and tear,

709
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:37.960
if the body, like if I lose an arm, am I still me?

710
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:39.840
Is my identity still intact?

711
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:41.760
Am I still me?

712
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:43.680
If I lose an arm.

713
00:39:43.680 --> 00:39:46.600
If I lose two arms, am I still me?

714
00:39:46.600 --> 00:39:50.080
If half of my body is gone, am I still me?

715
00:39:50.080 --> 00:39:52.160
If I lose two legs.

716
00:39:52.160 --> 00:39:55.200
Some of you have heard the motivational speaker.

717
00:39:55.200 --> 00:39:57.160
I can't think of his name right now.

718
00:39:57.160 --> 00:39:59.480
A beautiful, loving man that speaks.

719
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:00.320
No.

720
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.380
arms, no legs, but he is still who he is.

721
00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:06.080
If you've never watched him,

722
00:40:06.080 --> 00:40:08.860
you should Google him, look him up on YouTube.

723
00:40:08.860 --> 00:40:10.200
Some of you may know his name.

724
00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:12.120
You could put it in the chat.

725
00:40:12.120 --> 00:40:14.980
So I am not a body.

726
00:40:14.980 --> 00:40:17.320
Nick, Nick V, thank you.

727
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:19.860
Nick, you guys should look him up.

728
00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:23.640
So moving to see him up on a table

729
00:40:23.640 --> 00:40:26.160
and everyone coming up and just soaking in his love

730
00:40:26.160 --> 00:40:30.500
and getting hugs from him who has no arms and no legs.

731
00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:34.580
So I am not a body, but some of you have such body.

732
00:40:34.580 --> 00:40:37.720
I'll tell you, the more spirit identification you have,

733
00:40:37.720 --> 00:40:39.460
the less body matters.

734
00:40:39.460 --> 00:40:42.700
The less spirit identification you have,

735
00:40:42.700 --> 00:40:45.820
the more that you're stuck on your body.

736
00:40:45.820 --> 00:40:48.380
So the body starts getting wrinkles.

737
00:40:48.380 --> 00:40:49.980
The body starts getting old.

738
00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:51.520
The body starts losing hair.

739
00:40:51.520 --> 00:40:53.420
The body gets aches and pains.

740
00:40:53.420 --> 00:40:54.860
The body gets sick.

741
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:59.080
Now, all of a sudden, our joy goes down,

742
00:40:59.080 --> 00:41:03.840
our self-esteem and self-worth goes down, all of that,

743
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:06.960
because we have this identification with body,

744
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:08.360
but we're not a body.

745
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:11.080
We're also not a mind.

746
00:41:11.080 --> 00:41:12.800
So we have a body.

747
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:17.680
We have a soul, which biblically is mind, will, and emotions.

748
00:41:17.680 --> 00:41:21.160
And so some people have mind identification,

749
00:41:21.160 --> 00:41:23.680
and everything is tied in with their mind

750
00:41:23.700 --> 00:41:25.620
and their intellectual and their ability

751
00:41:25.620 --> 00:41:27.820
to think and all of that.

752
00:41:27.820 --> 00:41:29.540
No.

753
00:41:29.540 --> 00:41:31.140
What if I lose my mind?

754
00:41:31.140 --> 00:41:35.820
How many people, they're not in what we call their right mind?

755
00:41:35.820 --> 00:41:38.940
Whether they're dealing with emotional illness,

756
00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:42.340
mental illness, whether they've lost memory,

757
00:41:42.340 --> 00:41:44.460
are they still who they are?

758
00:41:44.460 --> 00:41:46.500
And the answer is, I'm not a body.

759
00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:49.700
I'm not a mind.

760
00:41:49.700 --> 00:41:50.900
There's a spirit.

761
00:41:50.900 --> 00:41:54.320
When God took Adam and Eve, and he breathed life,

762
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:57.600
there's a spirit in us that's who we are.

763
00:41:57.600 --> 00:42:00.960
So that even after this Earth, when we shed the body,

764
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:03.480
the body's just our tent on Earth,

765
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:05.560
because the body gives us five senses.

766
00:42:05.560 --> 00:42:07.960
So we can experience the five senses on Earth.

767
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:08.720
So I can smell.

768
00:42:08.720 --> 00:42:09.320
I can taste.

769
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:10.200
I can see.

770
00:42:10.200 --> 00:42:11.520
It's a tent.

771
00:42:11.520 --> 00:42:13.200
It's a temporary tent.

772
00:42:13.200 --> 00:42:18.600
But when the tent goes, the spirit still stays.

773
00:42:18.620 --> 00:42:20.940
So I can't be all of these things.

774
00:42:20.940 --> 00:42:26.300
So I must start to know who I am and who I'm not,

775
00:42:26.300 --> 00:42:28.020
or I'm going to get attachments.

776
00:42:28.020 --> 00:42:31.260
So I shared this at the His View retreat.

777
00:42:31.260 --> 00:42:34.220
Those of you that were there live, it's really important,

778
00:42:34.220 --> 00:42:35.460
is the alignment.

779
00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:40.380
You can think about these three parts like a snowman, right?

780
00:42:40.380 --> 00:42:43.820
The three parts of you, the body, the soul.

781
00:42:43.820 --> 00:42:46.020
Oh good, and there's the YouTube channel for those of you

782
00:42:46.020 --> 00:42:47.900
that ever want to just be able to.

783
00:42:48.240 --> 00:42:49.640
He's such a blessing.

784
00:42:49.640 --> 00:42:50.840
It'll just open your eyes.

785
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:52.720
If you think life is tough, there's

786
00:42:52.720 --> 00:42:55.760
a man fully living out his divine purpose,

787
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:58.160
and changing the world, and making an impact,

788
00:42:58.160 --> 00:43:00.800
and making great income, and leaving a legacy.

789
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:04.640
And he has no hands, no arms, no legs.

790
00:43:04.640 --> 00:43:08.440
It's well worth watching.

791
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.200
So Stephanie says, I love the concept,

792
00:43:10.200 --> 00:43:11.840
the more spiritual identification,

793
00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:14.480
the less I'm dependent on my body identity.

794
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.640
Yes, love that.

795
00:43:16.660 --> 00:43:18.020
Beautiful, great revelation.

796
00:43:18.020 --> 00:43:20.060
You guys are getting some depth here.

797
00:43:20.060 --> 00:43:23.620
So we got to look at the alignment of these three

798
00:43:23.620 --> 00:43:25.140
things, OK?

799
00:43:25.140 --> 00:43:28.980
So which is running you?

800
00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:32.380
So if the alignment, think of about like a snowman,

801
00:43:32.380 --> 00:43:33.860
and which is the biggest, right?

802
00:43:33.860 --> 00:43:36.380
You've got three parts, like big, middle, small, right?

803
00:43:36.380 --> 00:43:39.020
So which is the biggest when you really look at your life?

804
00:43:39.020 --> 00:43:42.460
If the body is running you, then you're

805
00:43:42.460 --> 00:43:45.500
going to hear things like, oh, I'm starving.

806
00:43:45.500 --> 00:43:46.420
I just got to eat.

807
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.040
Oh, man, I need a cigarette.

808
00:43:48.040 --> 00:43:50.320
Oh, man, I'm craving such and such.

809
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:53.800
Oh, man, like everything is about what your body wants.

810
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:54.560
Wants it now.

811
00:43:54.560 --> 00:43:56.440
Any of you know someone body identified?

812
00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:57.680
Everything's about their body.

813
00:43:57.680 --> 00:43:58.480
They got to have it.

814
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.280
It's called the flesh in the Bible.

815
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:00.880
They got to have it.

816
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:01.880
They got to have it now.

817
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:04.960
So they go after the lust of the flesh, whatever it is.

818
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:05.840
It could be gambling.

819
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:08.200
It could be, I don't know, pornography.

820
00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:11.480
It could be anything that is like feeding the flesh.

821
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.720
That's when the flesh is the biggest.

822
00:44:13.720 --> 00:44:15.240
That's out of alignment.

823
00:44:15.260 --> 00:44:17.460
Because the flesh is actually supposed

824
00:44:17.460 --> 00:44:19.260
to be ruled by our mind.

825
00:44:19.260 --> 00:44:20.700
We have the mind of Christ.

826
00:44:20.700 --> 00:44:22.740
We're called to renew our mind.

827
00:44:22.740 --> 00:44:26.300
Our mind, we're supposed to crucify the flesh.

828
00:44:26.300 --> 00:44:27.340
We love the flesh.

829
00:44:27.340 --> 00:44:28.300
We love our body.

830
00:44:28.300 --> 00:44:29.880
We take care of our body because it's

831
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:31.180
the temple of the Holy Spirit.

832
00:44:31.180 --> 00:44:32.860
But it doesn't run us.

833
00:44:32.860 --> 00:44:34.740
And so our mind is called.

834
00:44:34.740 --> 00:44:37.420
So when we're looking at our identity, it's not our body.

835
00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:38.460
It's not our mind.

836
00:44:38.460 --> 00:44:42.020
But our mind is called to rule over our body.

837
00:44:42.020 --> 00:44:44.700
And yet, we are not our mind.

838
00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:47.640
So the ones that are so stuck in their mind, right?

839
00:44:47.640 --> 00:44:48.920
And many of you know that.

840
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:50.560
They just can't get unlocked.

841
00:44:50.560 --> 00:44:53.040
They're just hooked to certain things.

842
00:44:53.040 --> 00:44:53.880
And it drives them.

843
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:55.240
It drives them to craziness.

844
00:44:55.240 --> 00:44:57.920
Their mind is just running them.

845
00:44:57.920 --> 00:44:59.120
And they're missing.

846
00:44:59.120 --> 00:44:59.960
But actually.

847
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.000
We're supposed to be run. Proper alignment is our spirit, which is where God's spirit dwells.

848
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:14.000
Our spirit connected to God's spirit is meant to rule over our mind and renew our mind.

849
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:20.000
And our mind is meant to rule over our body. That's proper alignment.

850
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:23.000
Now, I want to show you something interesting about this.

851
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:30.000
In Jewish culture, I'm not sure if Mita's here today and some of our Jewish friends if they're here today,

852
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:35.000
but in Jewish culture, the exodus is a really big deal.

853
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.000
The exodus is a really big deal.

854
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:47.000
And interestingly enough, in one of the Jewish books I was reading, which is called 50 Words.

855
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.000
I'll have to look it up from Jewish. I got to go look it up.

856
00:45:50.000 --> 00:46:03.000
But anyway, I learned that the exodus is not just one event, but it's a paradigm for our current life.

857
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:09.000
It's not just a geographical location, so they didn't just leave Egypt as a physical location.

858
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:12.000
Remember I said the Bible has many dimensions.

859
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:17.000
So yeah, there was a physical Egypt that they left, OK, to go to Canaan, physical.

860
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:33.000
But there's a spiritual Egypt, and it's a paradigm for our current life that represents a limited state of mind that we must transcend.

861
00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:38.000
Put that in the chat. Put it in the Facebook page.

862
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:48.000
Egypt represents a limited state of mind that we must transcend.

863
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:53.000
So the word, the Hebrew word for Egypt, I'm going to probably slaughter this.

864
00:46:53.000 --> 00:47:01.000
I don't speak Hebrew, but it's spelled M-I-T-Z-R-A-Y-I-M.

865
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:05.000
Looks like Mitzarim. I'm probably any of you speak Hebrew.

866
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:08.000
OK. It means limitations.

867
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:13.000
The word Egypt, the Hebrew word for Egypt actually means limitations.

868
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:18.000
It actually means limitations.

869
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:33.000
So the truth is that the exodus from Egypt includes being liberated from internal bondage.

870
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:39.000
Now, I'm working with Kelly, my book coach. I'm actually writing a book about this.

871
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:45.000
I'm going to tell you that many of you have been held not in a physical bondage.

872
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:52.000
Some of you went through that, too. But the majority of us have not been in a physical bondage.

873
00:47:52.000 --> 00:48:00.000
But we have been in an internal bondage that has kept us as slaves.

874
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.000
OK. What is the book? It is called, let me grab it.

875
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:08.000
You guys, I'm leaning across. I'll probably let's just pull over here.

876
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:14.000
OK. It is called People of the Word. People of the Word.

877
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:21.000
Fifty words that shaped Jewish thinking. People of the Word. Fifty words that shaped Jewish thinking.

878
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:28.000
OK. Thank you for asking. So there's a whole chapter on this in there.

879
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.000
Every word is so beautiful in this, like you'll get such depth.

880
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:37.000
Thank you, Linda, for putting that in there in the chat and in the Facebook group, too, please.

881
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:42.000
So the truth then is so Egypt represents limitations.

882
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:48.000
The truth is exodus from Egypt includes being liberated from internal bondage.

883
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:54.000
And here's the quote from the book. If Egypt represents the tyranny.

884
00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:02.000
Listen carefully. The tyranny of self limiting beliefs.

885
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:11.000
If Egypt represents the tyranny of self limiting beliefs and behaviors, beliefs and behaviors, they go together.

886
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:29.000
The exodus signifies our spiritual journey towards expansive perception and limitless potential.

887
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:34.000
This is so deep in the Hebrew language. Yes. Fire, Emily.

888
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:39.000
This is amazing when you think about this. OK, so many of us.

889
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:44.000
Why am I teaching about identity? Why am I teaching about your self concept?

890
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:53.000
Why did I dedicate day six to this subject? Because so many of us, myself included, I'm talking personal experience.

891
00:49:53.000 --> 00:50:00.000
We have been slaves. We've been in tyranny, not to something external, but to.

892
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.000
to limited perception, how we perceive.

893
00:50:07.300 --> 00:50:11.580
You see, the world is as you perceive it,

894
00:50:11.580 --> 00:50:15.340
as you see it in the inner eyes of your heart

895
00:50:15.340 --> 00:50:18.460
is what you're living, how you perceive yourself,

896
00:50:18.460 --> 00:50:21.420
how you perceive others, how you perceive God.

897
00:50:21.420 --> 00:50:26.420
When God says that we're limitless,

898
00:50:26.620 --> 00:50:30.000
if the Holy Spirit lives in us,

899
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.720
which is what the Bible that I read says.

900
00:50:32.720 --> 00:50:35.880
It says that you and I are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

901
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:39.400
It says that Christ is in us, the hope of glory,

902
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:41.540
we are in him, right?

903
00:50:41.540 --> 00:50:46.540
So we're in him, he's in us, we are one.

904
00:50:47.160 --> 00:50:50.120
And one of the lies we're breaking,

905
00:50:50.120 --> 00:50:51.800
getting into another one of my journals,

906
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:54.920
is the lie of separation.

907
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:58.340
So I did a whole study, I did a whole study on striving.

908
00:50:58.340 --> 00:51:00.520
We're gonna talk about that.

909
00:51:00.520 --> 00:51:05.040
And the end of striving came with a fresh look

910
00:51:05.040 --> 00:51:06.120
at Romans 8.

911
00:51:06.120 --> 00:51:07.560
Maybe I'll do a Bible study,

912
00:51:07.560 --> 00:51:10.840
but I encourage you to go and do the Passion Translation,

913
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:15.160
Romans 8, and I want you to underline

914
00:51:15.160 --> 00:51:19.080
every time this truth, I love the Passion Translation,

915
00:51:19.080 --> 00:51:22.040
underline every truth this comes out.

916
00:51:22.040 --> 00:51:24.320
Because it starts out in verse one,

917
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:27.920
that there's no accusing voice of condemnation

918
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:32.920
against those joined in life union with Jesus.

919
00:51:34.040 --> 00:51:38.700
I love that word, when you're joined in life union.

920
00:51:38.700 --> 00:51:41.680
There's no more condemnation, whatever anybody can say,

921
00:51:41.680 --> 00:51:43.920
all of you that were putting those negative thoughts,

922
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:45.440
there's no more of that.

923
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:46.920
And it goes on to say,

924
00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:48.680
we live by the power of the Holy Spirit,

925
00:51:48.680 --> 00:51:50.400
we're led by the Holy Spirit.

926
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.520
Verse 10, it says,

927
00:51:52.520 --> 00:51:57.520
now Christ lives his life in you, in me.

928
00:52:00.120 --> 00:52:05.040
Now Christ lives his life in you, in me.

929
00:52:05.040 --> 00:52:09.040
And his life-giving spirit imparts life to you.

930
00:52:09.040 --> 00:52:13.480
Verse 14, he rises up within us.

931
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:16.440
There is a physical historical resurrection,

932
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:19.560
and there's a resurrection that happens in you.

933
00:52:19.600 --> 00:52:22.480
Paul said, I'm not gonna rest in his prayers.

934
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:23.800
Paul in the Bible said,

935
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:27.960
I'm not gonna rest until Christ is fully formed in you.

936
00:52:27.960 --> 00:52:31.320
So I gotta get that you're not so religious

937
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:36.320
in your thinking that you push God and Jesus way over here,

938
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:39.880
and it seems far away from your life and who you are.

939
00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:41.720
When you go deep with this,

940
00:52:41.720 --> 00:52:44.400
you understand this is happening in you.

941
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.260
Christ in me, the hope of glory,

942
00:52:46.260 --> 00:52:48.680
I am the temple of the Holy Spirit.

943
00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:49.760
This is happening.

944
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:52.400
And so it says he rises up within us.

945
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:54.880
There's a resurrection within us.

946
00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:59.620
Verse 17, we're heirs of God, we're joined to Christ.

947
00:52:59.620 --> 00:53:02.240
We become one, we're joined to Christ.

948
00:53:02.240 --> 00:53:06.540
Verse 28, every detail of our life is woven together.

949
00:53:06.540 --> 00:53:09.160
This is all my notes under the end of striving

950
00:53:09.160 --> 00:53:13.080
because when this gets clear, there is no more striving.

951
00:53:13.080 --> 00:53:15.880
And my book is a lot about my bondage,

952
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:20.400
my internal was like self-made expectations,

953
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:24.200
striving, like self-imposed limitations.

954
00:53:24.200 --> 00:53:27.720
Some of us are living by limitations that nobody else put.

955
00:53:27.720 --> 00:53:30.760
We put it on ourselves, okay?

956
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:33.180
And so all of these, by the way,

957
00:53:33.180 --> 00:53:36.240
all of these verses in Roman eight are past tense,

958
00:53:36.240 --> 00:53:39.440
meaning it's already done.

959
00:53:39.440 --> 00:53:40.840
It's already done.

960
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:43.360
And so it goes on all the way down verse 38.

961
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:47.000
It says, so now I live with confidence

962
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:48.520
that there's nothing in the universe

963
00:53:48.520 --> 00:53:52.040
that has power to separate me from God's love.

964
00:53:52.040 --> 00:53:53.280
In other words, there's nothing

965
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:54.560
that can make God love me more.

966
00:53:54.560 --> 00:53:58.360
There's nothing that can make God love me less.

967
00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:01.680
This is so powerful, this breakthrough.

968
00:54:01.680 --> 00:54:06.680
Now I wanna tell you a story and it goes back.

969
00:54:07.640 --> 00:54:12.320
I wanna say at least 15 years, maybe 20 years.

970
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:13.640
And I tell the story

971
00:54:13.640 --> 00:54:16.460
and it's part of the title of my upcoming book.

972
00:54:17.720 --> 00:54:21.720
And I was a founder of a multi-seven figure

973
00:54:21.720 --> 00:54:25.000
international nutritional network marketing company.

974
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:28.400
I was living a maniac life

975
00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:31.080
in terms of everything I tried to pack into my days.

976
00:54:31.080 --> 00:54:32.160
I was homeschooling.

977
00:54:32.160 --> 00:54:34.060
I was, there was so much that I was doing.

978
00:54:34.060 --> 00:54:35.440
I was leading Bible studies.

979
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:36.880
I was running this company.

980
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:37.760
I was speaking.

981
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:39.320
I was working every day of the week.

982
00:54:39.320 --> 00:54:42.080
I was traveling every weekend to speak.

983
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.520
And so I had traveled to speak in New Jersey

984
00:54:45.520 --> 00:54:47.400
on this particular moment.

985
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:51.240
There's times in your life where God just gets us.

986
00:54:51.240 --> 00:54:56.240
There's times in our life when the Bible says we're still

987
00:54:56.240 --> 00:54:57.960
and we know that he is God.

988
00:54:57.960 --> 00:54:59.640
This is one of those times.

989
00:54:59.640 --> 00:55:00.480
So here I was.

990
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.720
was exhausted, burning the candle on all sides, just living like a maniac in terms of activity.

991
00:55:06.720 --> 00:55:14.640
Rose is on the line. She knew me then. And I decide right near my hotel, there's a little

992
00:55:14.640 --> 00:55:19.920
country church. And I didn't speak till Monday. And I think this was Sunday or Sunday night. I

993
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:24.640
don't remember. And I thought, I'm just going to go in there. I just need rest. I'm just heavy

994
00:55:24.640 --> 00:55:29.840
burdened. I'm tired. I just want to go in and just to be in the presence of God. Little tiny

995
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:34.880
rickety country church with like wood benches and like, you know, just really old fashioned

996
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:41.760
and the oldest part of kind of New Jersey. And I go in and the worship is playing. The band

997
00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:47.520
is playing worship music. And there's such an atmosphere. I don't know if any of you've ever

998
00:55:47.520 --> 00:55:52.480
walked in a church. Maybe you do on a regular basis where you just feel the presence of God.

999
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:58.960
This was like that for me. I mean, it was tangible. It was so the love in the air, the energy in the

1000
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:05.360
air, that it was just so tangible. And I literally was such that I just kind of was taken away. It's

1001
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:14.080
like I was lost in it. I just lost being present here. And I was just lost in this. And I hear

1002
00:56:14.080 --> 00:56:26.160
in my spirit, cast out the slave woman. Cast out the slave woman. Now those of you Bible scholars

1003
00:56:26.160 --> 00:56:33.760
know that's a reference to the story of Sarah and Hagar, Abraham's wives. But I knew in my spirit

1004
00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:46.720
that wasn't what this was about. I had been living as a slave woman because of this exodus Egypt that

1005
00:56:46.720 --> 00:56:53.600
was in me, these limiting beliefs that I created, these self-imposed. You see, because I had come

1006
00:56:53.600 --> 00:57:01.520
from such a broken childhood, such a broken childhood. My mother was bipolar. She was addicted

1007
00:57:01.520 --> 00:57:09.120
to pain medication. She was an alcoholic. My father was an alcoholic. He was a pedophile,

1008
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:16.800
sexual abuser. There was domestic violence. The house was always trashed. Ashtrays going

1009
00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:24.480
through fish tanks and Christmas trees going through windows and absolute insanity that I

1010
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:32.800
grew up in. And there was some decisions. We make these little agreements, these unconscious

1011
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:37.680
agreements. I'm writing another book called I Didn't Agree to That. We make these unconscious

1012
00:57:37.680 --> 00:57:45.600
agreements. Like I will never have a family like this. My children won't go through this. I will

1013
00:57:45.600 --> 00:57:57.680
never have a family like this. And they kept on evolving. I will be a perfect wife. I

1014
00:57:58.240 --> 00:58:04.480
will be a perfect mother. It was the roots of perfectionism. It was the roots of striving.

1015
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:11.760
It started very young when I made these internal decisions that I wasn't going to create this reality

1016
00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:19.440
again. So we make these unconscious agreements. Of course, I become 16, 17. I become a Christian

1017
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:28.000
and I add to the list. I'm going to be a perfect Christian. So now fast forward by the time that

1018
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:34.960
I'm in this country church, I've now spent decades with all my fiber and all my being to be the

1019
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:41.440
perfect Christian, to be the perfect wife, to be the perfect homeschool mom. Failed miserably. I'm

1020
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:49.680
not saying I did any of those things, but I had those expectations and they drove me like a slave

1021
00:58:49.680 --> 00:58:59.120
master. Some are saying, wow, sounds so familiar. Any of you made these vows, these internal vows?

1022
00:58:59.120 --> 00:59:06.960
Any of you came to create this bondage, these expectations that nobody's putting on you?

1023
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:13.440
You're putting on yourself at this point. The voices are often gone. They might still be there,

1024
00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:23.040
but now you're putting it. You are the one, right? And so I love that. Time to stop the struggle

1025
00:59:23.040 --> 00:59:28.160
and learn how to flow with God's spirit. So beautiful. I'm loving your comments. I have

1026
00:59:28.160 --> 00:59:34.320
to pause for a second. I can't see over in the Facebook, but I'm loving this. Hidden vows. Wow.

1027
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:42.240
We grew up similarly. Cast out the slave woman. Okay. So I knew at that moment, I got set free.

1028
00:59:42.240 --> 00:59:46.640
I knew at that moment what that meant. My life began to change at that moment. I've written a

1029
00:59:46.640 --> 00:59:52.160
whole book about it. I'm going to be sharing that with you. But I knew at that moment that,

1030
00:59:53.200 --> 00:59:59.840
and this is something that we all have to do. We all have to cast out the slave woman.

1031
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.000
So the bondage that you're in,

1032
01:00:05.040 --> 01:00:06.600
whatever that might look like,

1033
01:00:06.600 --> 01:00:08.200
it might be financial bondage,

1034
01:00:08.200 --> 01:00:09.760
it might be relational bondage,

1035
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:11.440
it might be emotional bondage,

1036
01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:13.520
it might be physical bondage,

1037
01:00:13.520 --> 01:00:17.200
like whatever that you're in,

1038
01:00:17.200 --> 01:00:19.920
I want you to look for just a second

1039
01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:23.480
and say, where am I?

1040
01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:26.940
What bondage am I creating?

1041
01:00:27.940 --> 01:00:32.940
When you can take ownership and responsibility,

1042
01:00:34.220 --> 01:00:36.020
you can begin to change.

1043
01:00:38.020 --> 01:00:40.780
You can begin to change.

1044
01:00:40.780 --> 01:00:43.700
Dawn, we need to enter into the rest,

1045
01:00:43.700 --> 01:00:46.460
no striving of Hebrews 4.10.

1046
01:00:46.460 --> 01:00:48.140
By the way, Dawn is in the house.

1047
01:00:48.140 --> 01:00:50.180
She's so beautiful at working with women

1048
01:00:50.180 --> 01:00:51.580
who have gone through trauma.

1049
01:00:51.580 --> 01:00:54.380
Dawn has one of the most incredible stories.

1050
01:00:54.380 --> 01:00:56.140
I mean, it makes mine look like penis

1051
01:00:56.140 --> 01:00:57.780
if we're gonna compare and we're not,

1052
01:00:57.780 --> 01:01:00.140
but she's just been through it.

1053
01:01:00.140 --> 01:01:01.740
And what a beautiful woman of God.

1054
01:01:01.740 --> 01:01:03.940
If you don't know Dawn, make friends.

1055
01:01:03.940 --> 01:01:07.860
She helps women through this kind of trauma.

1056
01:01:07.860 --> 01:01:09.700
So she says, we have to allow God

1057
01:01:09.700 --> 01:01:12.220
to do the work through us.

1058
01:01:12.220 --> 01:01:16.740
Philippians 2.13, where he's responsible for my results

1059
01:01:16.740 --> 01:01:18.940
as we walk in obedience,

1060
01:01:18.940 --> 01:01:21.820
walking by the spirit as sons and daughters.

1061
01:01:21.820 --> 01:01:24.180
Thank you, Dawn, for taking the time to write that.

1062
01:01:24.180 --> 01:01:26.460
Thank you for your being and your presence here

1063
01:01:26.460 --> 01:01:29.140
and your prayers and the work that you're doing.

1064
01:01:30.420 --> 01:01:33.420
I've had people that have known me over the years

1065
01:01:33.420 --> 01:01:35.620
and they maybe knew me 10 years ago,

1066
01:01:35.620 --> 01:01:37.980
15 years ago, 20 years ago.

1067
01:01:37.980 --> 01:01:41.340
And the thing I hear so often,

1068
01:01:42.940 --> 01:01:45.660
and let's see, Rose says, I was changed inside

1069
01:01:45.660 --> 01:01:47.060
when I first heard Brenda's story.

1070
01:01:47.060 --> 01:01:50.340
I was amazed at how bright her light is.

1071
01:01:50.340 --> 01:01:53.820
And I was attracted to the energy she carries.

1072
01:01:54.460 --> 01:01:55.420
I knew immediately it was from God.

1073
01:01:55.420 --> 01:01:56.260
Love you, sister.

1074
01:01:56.260 --> 01:01:57.100
She's my sister.

1075
01:01:57.100 --> 01:01:58.860
She's known me for so long.

1076
01:01:58.860 --> 01:02:03.860
So what is so important as we look at this

1077
01:02:07.780 --> 01:02:10.980
and we look at where did we create this

1078
01:02:10.980 --> 01:02:13.420
and we take ownership.

1079
01:02:13.420 --> 01:02:16.540
So I started to say, some have known me for a long time

1080
01:02:16.540 --> 01:02:17.900
and I keep getting this comment.

1081
01:02:17.900 --> 01:02:19.620
I just got it as recent as yesterday.

1082
01:02:19.620 --> 01:02:20.940
JG said it yesterday.

1083
01:02:20.940 --> 01:02:22.940
She spoke beautiful words of encouragement

1084
01:02:22.940 --> 01:02:24.540
in my text message.

1085
01:02:24.540 --> 01:02:26.740
And she says, you're different.

1086
01:02:26.740 --> 01:02:28.500
She's been telling me that for months now.

1087
01:02:28.500 --> 01:02:29.540
You're just different.

1088
01:02:29.540 --> 01:02:31.900
She's known me, I don't know how long, JD, 10 years,

1089
01:02:31.900 --> 01:02:34.780
maybe, I don't know, 11, 12, I don't know.

1090
01:02:34.780 --> 01:02:39.340
And she says, you're just, you're different.

1091
01:02:39.340 --> 01:02:42.780
And it's exactly what Dawn just wrote here

1092
01:02:42.780 --> 01:02:46.820
because the lies, the two lies

1093
01:02:46.820 --> 01:02:49.220
that are keeping you in bondage primarily

1094
01:02:49.220 --> 01:02:51.020
are the belief in lack.

1095
01:02:51.060 --> 01:02:53.220
There is no such thing.

1096
01:02:53.220 --> 01:02:56.180
The entire kingdom of God is in you,

1097
01:02:56.180 --> 01:02:58.500
access to all resources, everything.

1098
01:02:58.500 --> 01:03:00.260
There is no lack, okay?

1099
01:03:00.260 --> 01:03:02.540
It may appear it because of what we're creating,

1100
01:03:02.540 --> 01:03:05.100
but there is no lack, okay?

1101
01:03:05.100 --> 01:03:06.660
I love you, Rose.

1102
01:03:06.660 --> 01:03:08.140
I love you, love you, JD.

1103
01:03:08.140 --> 01:03:11.380
Okay, so yes, JD is so prophetic.

1104
01:03:11.380 --> 01:03:13.340
All the women in my life, I'm so blessed.

1105
01:03:13.340 --> 01:03:15.100
That was the first thing I said to her last night

1106
01:03:15.100 --> 01:03:18.820
is I'm just so, what you're seeing is I'm so grateful.

1107
01:03:18.820 --> 01:03:20.660
I have so much appreciation.

1108
01:03:21.300 --> 01:03:22.180
I could almost cry.

1109
01:03:22.180 --> 01:03:25.980
Linda, the work she's put in to make this course,

1110
01:03:25.980 --> 01:03:29.020
Kelly, the way that she's mentored me.

1111
01:03:29.020 --> 01:03:30.180
I mean, I could go on and on.

1112
01:03:30.180 --> 01:03:33.980
Earlene, who's doing this, JD, who's prayed over me,

1113
01:03:33.980 --> 01:03:35.460
Berlin, who's prayed over.

1114
01:03:35.460 --> 01:03:38.460
I mean, like this is a team effort, all of us together.

1115
01:03:38.460 --> 01:03:40.460
This is the body at work

1116
01:03:40.460 --> 01:03:44.180
and I'm in such deep appreciation, right?

1117
01:03:44.180 --> 01:03:46.820
So the two things that keep us really in bondage

1118
01:03:46.820 --> 01:03:50.620
are the belief, the lie in lack, okay?

1119
01:03:51.380 --> 01:03:52.220
And so now we're striving

1120
01:03:52.220 --> 01:03:54.100
because we think we don't have enough of something.

1121
01:03:54.100 --> 01:03:55.100
We don't have enough money.

1122
01:03:55.100 --> 01:03:56.100
We don't have enough time.

1123
01:03:56.100 --> 01:03:57.220
We don't have enough knowledge.

1124
01:03:57.220 --> 01:03:59.140
We don't have whatever, but it's all based on lack.

1125
01:03:59.140 --> 01:04:01.500
It's a lie, okay?

1126
01:04:01.500 --> 01:04:04.620
And the other one is the lie of separation.

1127
01:04:04.620 --> 01:04:07.620
And that's what I was just reading from Romans 8.

1128
01:04:07.620 --> 01:04:09.220
There is no separation.

1129
01:04:09.220 --> 01:04:10.300
We are one.

1130
01:04:10.300 --> 01:04:11.500
I'm in Christ.

1131
01:04:11.500 --> 01:04:12.580
Christ is in me.

1132
01:04:12.580 --> 01:04:13.460
I'm in God.

1133
01:04:13.460 --> 01:04:14.420
God is in me.

1134
01:04:14.420 --> 01:04:15.780
We are one.

1135
01:04:15.780 --> 01:04:18.340
And when we break that lie of separation,

1136
01:04:18.340 --> 01:04:23.340
all striving goes out the window and our prayers change.

1137
01:04:24.300 --> 01:04:27.340
So now our prayers are no longer, I gotta do this.

1138
01:04:27.340 --> 01:04:28.820
I gotta make it happen.

1139
01:04:28.820 --> 01:04:31.660
Our prayers become my prayer this morning.

1140
01:04:31.660 --> 01:04:33.900
As almost every morning, my prayer was,

1141
01:04:33.900 --> 01:04:36.940
Lord, today, teach through me.

1142
01:04:38.220 --> 01:04:43.220
Lord, Holy Spirit, heal through me.

1143
01:04:43.220 --> 01:04:47.140
Holy Spirit, like love through me.

1144
01:04:47.460 --> 01:04:51.100
Holy Spirit, coach through me.

1145
01:04:51.100 --> 01:04:54.380
Because we're co-heirs, we're co-laborers.

1146
01:04:54.380 --> 01:04:57.180
We're co-raised, right?

1147
01:04:57.180 --> 01:05:00.060
We're co-seated in high places.

1148
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.920
Right. And so there is no separation.

1149
01:05:04.120 --> 01:05:08.520
And now you begin to understand principles that will change everything.

1150
01:05:08.720 --> 01:05:12.160
You'll understand the boomerang principle in the Bible.

1151
01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:14.920
You ever see the boomerang principle?

1152
01:05:15.120 --> 01:05:18.800
So so give and it shall be given unto you.

1153
01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:20.640
Press down, measured over, spilling over.

1154
01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:22.000
Right. Boomerang.

1155
01:05:22.200 --> 01:05:24.360
Forgive and you'll be forgiven.

1156
01:05:24.560 --> 01:05:26.840
Boomerang. Right.

1157
01:05:27.040 --> 01:05:29.280
You see, I could go on and on with the boomerang.

1158
01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:31.960
Why is it? Because.

1159
01:05:32.160 --> 01:05:34.840
Like Jesus prayed right before you left

1160
01:05:35.040 --> 01:05:40.680
the planet, may they understand that they are one and that I'm in them and I'm in you

1161
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:45.560
and they're in me and and may they just understand that they're one,

1162
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:50.640
that I can't do something to someone else without doing it to myself.

1163
01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:53.120
That's why we want to bless those who curse us.

1164
01:05:53.120 --> 01:05:54.320
You're blessing yourself.

1165
01:05:54.520 --> 01:05:56.040
That's why we want to give.

1166
01:05:56.200 --> 01:05:59.280
You can't give without it coming back to you, multiply.

1167
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:01.960
You see, but not when you're giving from a place

1168
01:06:02.160 --> 01:06:06.480
of striving, not when you're giving from a belief in lack and not a numbness.

1169
01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:07.160
That's different.

1170
01:06:07.160 --> 01:06:08.360
That's an over giving.

1171
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:09.880
That's a different form of slavery.

1172
01:06:10.080 --> 01:06:14.000
So when I say give, you're not giving from your roots.

1173
01:06:14.200 --> 01:06:15.560
You're giving from your fruit.

1174
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:17.840
OK, very important distinction.

1175
01:06:17.840 --> 01:06:21.200
Some of you have been giving from your roots and you're withering at the vine.

1176
01:06:21.400 --> 01:06:23.640
No, no, no. God never called that right.

1177
01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:29.040
So you begin to understand the the boomerang effect.

1178
01:06:29.240 --> 01:06:30.960
So what's at stake?

1179
01:06:31.160 --> 01:06:35.120
Understanding this whole thing about identity, getting clear.

1180
01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:37.560
Why do you need to spend time in prayer on this?

1181
01:06:37.760 --> 01:06:41.320
Why do you need to spend time on meditation on this?

1182
01:06:41.520 --> 01:06:43.080
Why do you need to go deep?

1183
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:44.960
Why do you need why does this matter?

1184
01:06:45.160 --> 01:06:48.000
Why did I take my Saturday morning to teach this?

1185
01:06:48.200 --> 01:06:52.680
Why did Linda, as a labor of love, stay up till midnight creating this guide?

1186
01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:56.960
Why? Because this is the bedrock.

1187
01:06:57.160 --> 01:07:00.240
This is the foundation.

1188
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:04.880
And I love J.D. says he just loves you all so much.

1189
01:07:05.080 --> 01:07:06.680
It's a pleasure to be in his service.

1190
01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:08.400
Absolutely. She's such a love.

1191
01:07:08.600 --> 01:07:10.440
She's calling and praying and working with us.

1192
01:07:10.640 --> 01:07:13.920
And so each of you in your gifts.

1193
01:07:14.120 --> 01:07:17.680
So Rose is saying give from your fruit, not from your root.

1194
01:07:17.880 --> 01:07:20.480
OK, I remember a wise woman of God.

1195
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:22.040
When I was first starting in ministry,

1196
01:07:22.080 --> 01:07:24.880
I was just probably not even 30 or barely 30.

1197
01:07:25.080 --> 01:07:28.320
And and we were sitting in a nice restaurant.

1198
01:07:28.520 --> 01:07:33.160
There was teacups and there was a tablecloth and there was the saucer under

1199
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:37.520
the teacup and there happened to be water on the table, beautiful goblet.

1200
01:07:37.720 --> 01:07:43.000
And she says, God wants to just pour into you.

1201
01:07:43.200 --> 01:07:45.240
And she kept pouring in the cup filled.

1202
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:51.120
And I'm watching and the cup filled and it like went over the top and it's going

1203
01:07:51.200 --> 01:07:55.760
into the saucer and the saucer is filling and I'm thinking she's going to soak the

1204
01:07:55.960 --> 01:08:00.400
whole table and she says, you're giving from here.

1205
01:08:00.600 --> 01:08:01.760
It's this overflow.

1206
01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:04.480
God wants you to live in the overflow.

1207
01:08:04.680 --> 01:08:07.360
He wants you to give from the overflow.

1208
01:08:07.560 --> 01:08:11.800
OK, which means that we're being filled up.

1209
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:14.920
And so we're we're exiting from exodus,

1210
01:08:15.120 --> 01:08:19.840
from the slavery, from the self-imposed limitations, from the limited perceptions.

1211
01:08:19.840 --> 01:08:20.439
Right.

1212
01:08:20.640 --> 01:08:25.000
And and we're coming into alignment with the truth of who we are.

1213
01:08:25.200 --> 01:08:34.520
And so on your notes, it says, what's at stake in Romans eight versus 14 to 19?

1214
01:08:34.720 --> 01:08:42.240
It says, for all who are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God.

1215
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:44.240
That's why I say we're we're sons.

1216
01:08:44.240 --> 01:08:45.800
Yes, we like to call ourselves daughter.

1217
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:47.920
But the truth is, we're sons of God.

1218
01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:51.279
We're all the giant son of God collectively, too.

1219
01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:58.200
OK, so all who are led when I learned to salsa dance,

1220
01:08:58.399 --> 01:09:04.279
I got this verse so deep because you see, all my life I was a striver.

1221
01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:06.200
I was an overachiever.

1222
01:09:06.399 --> 01:09:07.840
I was a straight A student.

1223
01:09:08.040 --> 01:09:10.160
I was the one that was going to get it done.

1224
01:09:10.359 --> 01:09:12.319
I was going to make it happen.

1225
01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:13.279
Right.

1226
01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:20.319
And as we grow in consciousness and as we grow in awareness, as we grow

1227
01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:25.279
in spirituality, however you want to look at it, we go through phases.

1228
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:26.160
Right.

1229
01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:30.439
So the lowest phase of spiritual growth is victim.

1230
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:32.439
Some are still stuck there.

1231
01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:37.840
Victim means life is just happening to me like I'm out of control.

1232
01:09:38.040 --> 01:09:40.479
The wind, the rain, the waves are just driving me.

1233
01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:41.760
I'm a victim.

1234
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:42.720
Poor is me.

1235
01:09:42.760 --> 01:09:45.120
It's not my fault that I don't have anything.

1236
01:09:45.319 --> 01:09:47.000
It's not my fault that I'm abused.

1237
01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:47.960
It's not my fault.

1238
01:09:48.160 --> 01:09:50.680
The parents I got, it's not my fault that I'm sick.

1239
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:52.279
I'm a victim.

1240
01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:54.680
That's the lowest level of consciousness.

1241
01:09:54.880 --> 01:10:00.040
OK, the next higher level of consciousness is when you start.

1242
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:06.080
to get aware of what I'm teaching you here that, oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Scripture says

1243
01:10:06.080 --> 01:10:15.840
that my thoughts, my thoughts actually matter. That my feelings, like as a man thinketh in his

1244
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:25.440
heart, so is he. And you start to realize my words matter. And so there's a certain kind of

1245
01:10:25.440 --> 01:10:33.040
taking a power that we escape out of the slavery of total victim, hopeless, helpless, and we move

1246
01:10:33.040 --> 01:10:43.120
into, I'm going to make it happen. We get into the, I'm going to make it happen. I'm going to

1247
01:10:43.120 --> 01:10:49.840
affirm. I'm going to declare. I'm going to visualize. And a lot of Christians are still

1248
01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:56.960
in that one. I'm going to, I'm going to make it happen. And there's a, there's a higher level

1249
01:10:56.960 --> 01:11:04.240
of consciousness that starts to understand that it's all been done. It's all already in me. I lack

1250
01:11:04.240 --> 01:11:12.320
nothing. And now we move to a higher level of consciousness that I'm going to allow. I don't

1251
01:11:12.320 --> 01:11:16.560
have to force anything. I don't have to make anything. I'm going to, and there's so much, each

1252
01:11:16.560 --> 01:11:24.480
of these levels has more peace, more joy. I'm going to allow. It's an allowing state. It's a

1253
01:11:24.480 --> 01:11:30.800
beautiful state. Have your way. It's a surrendered state. It's a, it's a state of beautiful trust,

1254
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:37.520
right? The baby at the breast, the milk's going to be there, right? You just like take it in,

1255
01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:45.040
drink it in, allow, allow him to work in me, allow him to work through me, allow him to be my source,

1256
01:11:45.040 --> 01:11:52.240
allow him to provide all things to give me, right? It's an allowing. And then the highest of that

1257
01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:59.840
is when you become it. You become it. You're one with it. You're one with it.

1258
01:12:01.200 --> 01:12:08.880
It's just who you are. It's your truest, highest identity. You see, so, and we go up and down

1259
01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:16.080
in all of these. We're not stuck anywhere, right? But, but let's look at this. So, I started to say

1260
01:12:16.080 --> 01:12:23.360
when I started salsa dancing and Latin dancing, I was, I was a hot mess. I was a terrible dancer.

1261
01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:29.520
Terrible. I don't, I don't think, I don't think salsa has seen a worse dancer. I think I started

1262
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:34.720
at rock bottom. I actually had the first person who taught me to dance tell me I'd never be able

1263
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:39.360
to learn to dance. I mean, but that was the first mistake. Don't tell me I can't do anything that,

1264
01:12:39.360 --> 01:12:44.880
that doesn't fly. So, I was, I was the worst. And we got some salsa dancers in the house. We got

1265
01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:50.960
Kelly is a salsa dancer. Dawn is a dancer. Fred's a dancer. We got some salsa dancers in the house.

1266
01:12:52.160 --> 01:12:56.720
Type, type in there. If you're a dancer, you can type in the chat. If we got some dancers in the

1267
01:12:56.720 --> 01:13:02.880
house. Well, salsa dancing is a partner dance, okay? So, there's a difference when we, when we

1268
01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:10.560
dance. Kelly says, I love dancing, okay? Linda, love to dance. Dawn, I can't imagine you not being

1269
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:16.800
a good dancer. Oh, boy. Trust me, Dawn. Oh, trust me. It was pretty bad. It was pretty bad. Emily,

1270
01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:24.240
dancing, love it. Okay. We got some dancers in the house. How fun. Kim, love to dance. So, Latin

1271
01:13:24.240 --> 01:13:31.840
dancing, I particularly kind of fell in love with it for a lot of reasons. One of it is the

1272
01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:36.800
atmosphere of salsa. Latin dancers don't usually drink. I mean, some will have one beer, but so,

1273
01:13:36.800 --> 01:13:41.520
it's not like the bar setting. I, and there's a, there's kind of a culture of honor to take care

1274
01:13:41.520 --> 01:13:48.000
of the women, usually. And so, so, I really fell in love with it. But partner dancing is really

1275
01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:56.560
different because there's a leader and there's a follower, okay? And I've been a leader all my life,

1276
01:13:56.560 --> 01:14:02.560
guys, okay? I've been a leader, like, in all ways, right? And I've been a, I've been a leader in

1277
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:06.320
companies. I've been a leader, like, I've been a leader. I didn't know anything about being a

1278
01:14:06.320 --> 01:14:12.560
follower. I might have said I was a follower of Jesus, but I, I needed, Stephanie says, I love to

1279
01:14:12.560 --> 01:14:20.800
dance too. I needed to learn how to be a follower. That is a completely different game. You have to

1280
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:30.400
trust. You have to be so in tune that you're feeling every movement. You have to be so pliable

1281
01:14:30.400 --> 01:14:37.040
that they can take you anywhere and they take you on a journey. And it was in salsa dancing, I really

1282
01:14:37.040 --> 01:14:44.800
began to learn new dimensions of what this verse means, what it means to be led by God. It's a,

1283
01:14:44.800 --> 01:14:52.080
it's a beautiful surrendered experience. That's all I can say. It's clumsy at first, just like it

1284
01:14:52.080 --> 01:14:58.320
is with God. And in salsa, it was very clumsy. I kept on trying to lead and stepping on toes and

1285
01:14:58.320 --> 01:14:59.840
I'd get turned, twirled.

1286
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.960
Then I twirl into the South 40 or into the next dancers near me.

1287
01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:05.680
I mean, I was pretty much a hot mess.

1288
01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:06.960
Trust me.

1289
01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:11.000
But this verse, Romans 8, says, all who

1290
01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:13.480
are led by the spirit of God.

1291
01:15:13.480 --> 01:15:17.280
This is about not us leading God or leading the spirit,

1292
01:15:17.280 --> 01:15:18.680
which many Christians do.

1293
01:15:18.680 --> 01:15:21.320
God, I started this company, and I want you to bless it.

1294
01:15:21.320 --> 01:15:24.120
God, I want this man, and I want you to make it happen.

1295
01:15:24.120 --> 01:15:26.520
God, we're still in make it happen,

1296
01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:32.920
and we're not in those that are led by the spirit of God.

1297
01:15:32.920 --> 01:15:34.480
It's a different dance.

1298
01:15:34.480 --> 01:15:37.080
You can go out and dance by yourself, but in a partner,

1299
01:15:37.080 --> 01:15:38.400
there's a leader and a follower.

1300
01:15:38.400 --> 01:15:39.520
There can't be two leaders.

1301
01:15:39.520 --> 01:15:41.120
There can't be two followers.

1302
01:15:41.120 --> 01:15:44.360
You can switch, but there can't.

1303
01:15:44.360 --> 01:15:48.960
So all who are led by the spirit of God are sons of God.

1304
01:15:48.960 --> 01:15:55.120
For the spirit, which you have now received, is not.

1305
01:15:55.120 --> 01:15:56.880
Remember, we're learning what we're not,

1306
01:15:56.880 --> 01:16:01.080
is not a spirit of slavery to put you

1307
01:16:01.080 --> 01:16:05.120
once more in bondage to fear.

1308
01:16:05.120 --> 01:16:07.720
Now, there's another bondage.

1309
01:16:07.720 --> 01:16:12.000
If you believe in separation, which I did,

1310
01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:14.400
then I was always afraid, because I always

1311
01:16:14.400 --> 01:16:15.600
thought that I'm all alone.

1312
01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:18.720
My story from childhood is I'm all alone.

1313
01:16:18.720 --> 01:16:20.560
No one's going to help me.

1314
01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:22.560
You see what God's healing right now?

1315
01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:24.680
All the people in my life?

1316
01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:26.240
This is healing.

1317
01:16:26.240 --> 01:16:27.520
Oh, there are people who care.

1318
01:16:27.520 --> 01:16:30.000
There are people helping me.

1319
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:30.720
Makes me cry.

1320
01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:31.680
I didn't believe that.

1321
01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:33.880
I believed all my life my greatest fear

1322
01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:35.200
was I'm going to be all alone.

1323
01:16:35.200 --> 01:16:37.640
There's no one to help me.

1324
01:16:37.640 --> 01:16:41.400
Fear, lack, I'm going to run out of money.

1325
01:16:41.400 --> 01:16:43.200
I've got no one to take care of me.

1326
01:16:43.200 --> 01:16:44.560
I'm going to be homeless.

1327
01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:46.760
I'm going to like, right?

1328
01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:50.440
Slave to fear.

1329
01:16:50.440 --> 01:16:52.040
Slave to fear.

1330
01:16:52.040 --> 01:16:52.840
Let me just see.

1331
01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:57.120
Kelly says, thinking to one to ask me to dance

1332
01:16:57.120 --> 01:16:58.760
that I would never learn.

1333
01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:00.240
Yeah, yeah.

1334
01:17:00.240 --> 01:17:01.520
Beautiful.

1335
01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:02.920
OK.

1336
01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:05.480
Salsa dancing also taught me to follow.

1337
01:17:05.480 --> 01:17:08.560
Open me up to partnerships, including with God,

1338
01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:13.160
and then a husband, which I hadn't been able to do before.

1339
01:17:13.160 --> 01:17:13.880
So me too.

1340
01:17:13.880 --> 01:17:15.960
That's why Kelly and I are just like sisters.

1341
01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:17.360
We love each other.

1342
01:17:17.360 --> 01:17:21.640
Salsa dancing teaches you to be open, to be receptive, right?

1343
01:17:21.640 --> 01:17:22.920
To be led.

1344
01:17:22.920 --> 01:17:24.600
And we do this in many ways.

1345
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:26.080
There's many.

1346
01:17:26.080 --> 01:17:28.480
There's a masculine part of our life

1347
01:17:28.480 --> 01:17:30.200
and a feminine part of our life.

1348
01:17:30.200 --> 01:17:32.200
The feminine is the open.

1349
01:17:32.200 --> 01:17:33.800
It's the receptive.

1350
01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:36.000
It's the willingness to be led.

1351
01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:40.160
And we're all learning because in society, women

1352
01:17:40.160 --> 01:17:42.680
were rewarded for being masculine.

1353
01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:44.160
Like you got to be masculine.

1354
01:17:44.160 --> 01:17:45.240
That's the driven.

1355
01:17:45.240 --> 01:17:47.240
That's the leader.

1356
01:17:47.240 --> 01:17:50.920
That is like the achiever.

1357
01:17:50.920 --> 01:17:52.720
That's the directional.

1358
01:17:52.720 --> 01:17:53.680
That's the goals.

1359
01:17:53.680 --> 01:17:56.280
That's a masculine energy.

1360
01:17:56.280 --> 01:17:59.120
I mean, just to be blunt, just look at anatomy.

1361
01:17:59.120 --> 01:18:00.080
Just look at anatomy.

1362
01:18:00.080 --> 01:18:01.640
One is receptive.

1363
01:18:01.640 --> 01:18:04.240
One is delivering, is giving.

1364
01:18:04.240 --> 01:18:05.320
You've got to understand.

1365
01:18:05.320 --> 01:18:06.960
We're made that way.

1366
01:18:06.960 --> 01:18:10.760
But in society, ladies, and this is another master class.

1367
01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:12.720
I've had to really learn this.

1368
01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:14.120
I'm still learning.

1369
01:18:14.120 --> 01:18:17.000
I have not arrived, but at least I have awareness.

1370
01:18:17.000 --> 01:18:19.720
And that's the first step of transformation

1371
01:18:19.720 --> 01:18:22.080
is to know what are you operating in.

1372
01:18:22.080 --> 01:18:23.880
Are you operating in the masculine

1373
01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:26.080
or are you operating in the feminine?

1374
01:18:26.080 --> 01:18:27.080
Are you open?

1375
01:18:27.080 --> 01:18:28.160
Are you receptive?

1376
01:18:28.160 --> 01:18:31.560
Are you able to be led or are you doing it?

1377
01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:33.040
Now, we're rewarded.

1378
01:18:33.040 --> 01:18:34.200
You want to get the grades?

1379
01:18:34.200 --> 01:18:35.120
You want to graduate?

1380
01:18:35.120 --> 01:18:36.160
It's masculine energy.

1381
01:18:36.160 --> 01:18:37.320
You want to start a company?

1382
01:18:37.320 --> 01:18:38.600
It's masculine energy.

1383
01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:39.720
You want to make a sale?

1384
01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:40.760
It's masculine.

1385
01:18:40.760 --> 01:18:45.960
But we're learning, ladies, how to do it in feminine energy.

1386
01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:48.760
Holy Spirit, like have your way here.

1387
01:18:48.760 --> 01:18:51.120
Like just love through me, coach through me,

1388
01:18:51.120 --> 01:18:52.840
sell through me, build through me.

1389
01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:54.160
It's a feminine energy.

1390
01:18:54.160 --> 01:18:57.360
We're coming back into the divine feminine.

1391
01:18:57.360 --> 01:18:58.640
Super beautiful.

1392
01:18:58.640 --> 01:19:01.000
Rose says, don't be slave to fear

1393
01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:03.760
or you'll live in a prison of lack and regret.

1394
01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:05.360
Absolutely.

1395
01:19:05.360 --> 01:19:08.800
Back to Romans 8, verses 14 to 19.

1396
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:11.120
For all who are led by the Spirit of God

1397
01:19:11.120 --> 01:19:12.960
are the sons of God.

1398
01:19:12.960 --> 01:19:15.000
For the spirit which you've now received

1399
01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:18.400
is not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage

1400
01:19:18.400 --> 01:19:22.720
to fear, but you've received the spirit of adoption,

1401
01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:26.920
the spirit producing sonship in the bliss.

1402
01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:27.680
I love this.

1403
01:19:27.680 --> 01:19:29.920
The original word says this is bliss.

1404
01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:31.480
This is like such high frequency.

1405
01:19:31.480 --> 01:19:33.040
This is bliss.

1406
01:19:33.040 --> 01:19:41.360
In the bliss which we can cry, Abba, Father, Daddy.

1407
01:19:41.360 --> 01:19:43.840
Now, I told you that there's different levels

1408
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:45.000
of personal development.

1409
01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:46.280
And this is another subject.

1410
01:19:46.280 --> 01:19:49.280
But whatever level you're at, your perception

1411
01:19:49.280 --> 01:19:52.920
is at that level and your projection is at that level.

1412
01:19:52.920 --> 01:19:56.800
So we project onto God like wherever we are.

1413
01:19:56.800 --> 01:19:59.360
So if we're way down in shame and then we've

1414
01:19:59.360 --> 01:20:01.200
got a God.

1415
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:03.240
that is condemning and makes you feel in shame, right?

1416
01:20:03.440 --> 01:20:08.320
And if we're like if we're angry, we've got a vengeance, angry Zeus God.

1417
01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:10.360
If we're like so you're going to see God

1418
01:20:10.560 --> 01:20:13.760
based on where your level of of life and perception,

1419
01:20:13.960 --> 01:20:19.520
this high frequency right here is so intimate.

1420
01:20:19.720 --> 01:20:21.880
It's so intimate, and maybe some of you

1421
01:20:22.080 --> 01:20:25.800
didn't have fathers or you had dysfunctional fathers or whatever.

1422
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:27.040
I did, too.

1423
01:20:27.240 --> 01:20:30.960
But we can begin to see what it really means to have a father

1424
01:20:31.160 --> 01:20:36.600
and the spirit himself thus testifies together with our spirit.

1425
01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:38.880
See where we're now we're in alignment.

1426
01:20:39.080 --> 01:20:41.680
Our spirit is here in God's spirit.

1427
01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:44.600
Our spirit is being moved by God's spirit.

1428
01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:47.320
So the spirit testifies together with our

1429
01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:51.280
own spirit, assuring us we're the children of God.

1430
01:20:51.480 --> 01:20:55.800
And if we are as children, then.

1431
01:20:56.000 --> 01:21:00.520
Now, do you remember in sales, you could circle that then

1432
01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:05.440
you remember in sales that we went deep and we would tell something and we'd say

1433
01:21:05.640 --> 01:21:10.640
so that we kind of asked ourselves, so what, like everything I'm teaching you today?

1434
01:21:10.840 --> 01:21:13.000
So what? So what?

1435
01:21:13.200 --> 01:21:18.840
So that well, here it is, so that so this is happening,

1436
01:21:18.840 --> 01:21:21.400
the spirit is living through us, we're led by the spirit,

1437
01:21:21.600 --> 01:21:25.480
the spirits testifying with our spirit, assuring us we've got assurance

1438
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:31.840
that we're the children of God and if we are his children, so what?

1439
01:21:32.040 --> 01:21:36.080
Then we are his heirs identity.

1440
01:21:36.280 --> 01:21:39.560
We are his heirs, heirs of God,

1441
01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:45.360
fellow heirs with Christ, sharing his inheritance with him.

1442
01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:49.000
And we share his suffering if we're to share his glory.

1443
01:21:49.200 --> 01:21:50.280
But what of that?

1444
01:21:50.480 --> 01:21:52.160
For I consider the sufferings of this

1445
01:21:52.160 --> 01:21:57.920
present time not worth being compared with the glory that's about to be revealed.

1446
01:21:58.120 --> 01:21:59.920
Check this out to us.

1447
01:21:59.920 --> 01:22:02.320
You're not just going to see glory being revealed to you.

1448
01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:05.840
Circle this in us.

1449
01:22:06.040 --> 01:22:10.560
There's a glory being revealed in you.

1450
01:22:10.760 --> 01:22:15.240
In you, there's a glory being revealed in you.

1451
01:22:15.440 --> 01:22:16.480
Whoo.

1452
01:22:16.680 --> 01:22:20.840
Let that just sink in for a minute for the glory.

1453
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:24.400
So whatever suffering you've gone through to get where you are right now,

1454
01:22:24.600 --> 01:22:27.960
whatever lessons, whatever, it's like childbirth.

1455
01:22:28.160 --> 01:22:30.400
OK, it hurt like crazy.

1456
01:22:30.600 --> 01:22:33.320
I did natural childbirth, lots of pain.

1457
01:22:33.520 --> 01:22:34.400
Absolutely.

1458
01:22:34.600 --> 01:22:37.920
But the moment you're holding that baby, you forget all about that pain.

1459
01:22:38.120 --> 01:22:40.920
I went on to do it three times, three kids, right?

1460
01:22:41.120 --> 01:22:43.760
Natural. We forget about it, right?

1461
01:22:43.960 --> 01:22:45.160
Because of the glory.

1462
01:22:45.160 --> 01:22:47.440
This says that any suffering we've gone

1463
01:22:47.440 --> 01:22:51.640
through, it's nothing compared with the glory that's going to be revealed to us

1464
01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:55.760
and in us and for us. Did you circle that?

1465
01:22:55.960 --> 01:23:05.640
This glory is to us, circle to us, in us, circle in us and for us.

1466
01:23:05.840 --> 01:23:08.880
And conferred.

1467
01:23:09.080 --> 01:23:14.360
On us, like you're going to carry the glory.

1468
01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:19.240
We're meant to carry the glory.

1469
01:23:19.640 --> 01:23:23.080
Now, that doesn't sound very warm, like to me, I don't know about you,

1470
01:23:23.280 --> 01:23:29.200
dirty, low down, rotten, no, there's glory that we're meant to carry.

1471
01:23:29.400 --> 01:23:34.040
And then it goes on to say for even the whole creation, all of nature is waiting

1472
01:23:34.240 --> 01:23:41.680
expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known for the revelation,

1473
01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:46.080
for the revealing, for the disclosing of their sonship.

1474
01:23:46.280 --> 01:23:53.560
Do you know that all of nature is crying out and waiting for you to step

1475
01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:58.480
into your identity, for you to show up, for you to carry this glory,

1476
01:23:58.680 --> 01:24:02.120
for you to carry this love, for you to carry this power,

1477
01:24:02.320 --> 01:24:07.600
for you to walk in this joy, for you to break the lies of fear and doubt

1478
01:24:07.600 --> 01:24:13.280
and separation and lack and all the things, the self-imposed, the striving,

1479
01:24:13.480 --> 01:24:22.120
right, the perfectionism, all of that, all of nature's waiting for this moment.

1480
01:24:22.320 --> 01:24:25.040
Nature's clapping right now.

1481
01:24:25.240 --> 01:24:26.240
We now know.

1482
01:24:26.240 --> 01:24:27.360
I don't know if you've listened.

1483
01:24:27.560 --> 01:24:30.120
There's instruments you can listen to every plant.

1484
01:24:30.320 --> 01:24:31.600
It has a frequency.

1485
01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:32.760
It has a song.

1486
01:24:32.960 --> 01:24:34.600
It's so beautiful.

1487
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:39.160
Nature is actually, Jesus said that if you guys don't praise,

1488
01:24:39.360 --> 01:24:44.880
even the rocks are going to cry out, all of nature is saying, please,

1489
01:24:45.080 --> 01:24:54.600
Yvonne, Connie, Kelly, Linda, Jenny, JD, Emily, please, please.

1490
01:24:54.800 --> 01:24:56.040
We're waiting for you.

1491
01:24:56.240 --> 01:24:59.600
Step up, step up, open up, step up.

1492
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:04.000
Step into who you really are. You are powerful.

1493
01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:08.000
You have so much love. You are love.

1494
01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:12.000
You have so many gifts. It's time to release the gifts.

1495
01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:16.000
This is the season to release the gifts.

1496
01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:20.000
So, we see

1497
01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:24.000
that this subject of identity, we spend some time

1498
01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:28.000
looking at the prodigal son. We saw

1499
01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:32.000
him in the pig pen. We saw him come to

1500
01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:36.000
himself. We saw him return to the father.

1501
01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:40.000
It's very, very fascinating to see the

1502
01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:44.000
other brother as well. We're in Luke

1503
01:25:44.000 --> 01:25:48.000
15. You can turn the page and how our self

1504
01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:52.000
worth, our self concept, how it ties

1505
01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:56.000
in with our identity issues. So what? Let's bring

1506
01:25:56.000 --> 01:26:00.000
this real for a second before we go back to Scripture. Let's just, I mean, Scripture

1507
01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:04.000
is real, but let's put some application.

1508
01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:08.000
Those of you that have been undercharging,

1509
01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:12.000
we got identity issues.

1510
01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:16.000
Those of you that have been striving, we got

1511
01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:20.000
identity issues, right? Those

1512
01:26:20.000 --> 01:26:24.000
of you struggling with lack, we got identity

1513
01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:28.000
issues, you see? So these things,

1514
01:26:28.000 --> 01:26:32.000
when we're looking at your business, and we're going to raise

1515
01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:36.000
up your premier client, well, your premier client is going to be raised up as you

1516
01:26:36.000 --> 01:26:40.000
raise up, right? It's very fascinating.

1517
01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:44.000
There's principles that Jesus shared that we've kind of just put way over there.

1518
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:48.000
Jesus said, if I be lifted up, I draw all men to me. Yes, he was lifted

1519
01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:52.000
up on the cross. He draws us to him, but there's another

1520
01:26:52.000 --> 01:26:56.000
version of that, that as you're being lifted up

1521
01:26:56.000 --> 01:27:00.000
into your true identity, into being seated

1522
01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:04.000
in high places, that's pretty lifted up, the Bible says, being seated

1523
01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:08.000
in high places with Christ, that you're operating from a place

1524
01:27:08.000 --> 01:27:12.000
of high places, not from groveling in the dirt, not in the

1525
01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:16.000
pig pen, not in the mud. Scripture says, and as you're

1526
01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:20.000
lifted up and you're seated in high places, which is far from pride and arrogance,

1527
01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:24.000
that's false, okay? But you're lifted up because you know

1528
01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:28.000
who you are and you know who God is in you, and you're at peace at that.

1529
01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:32.000
You don't have to prove yourself. You don't have to

1530
01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:36.000
earn love. You don't have to work for love.

1531
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:40.000
We talked about unhitching this week. We talked about unhitching the

1532
01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:44.000
opinions of others, that we're not moved by the praise of

1533
01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:48.000
men. We're not moved by the criticism of men.

1534
01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:52.000
Jesus wasn't moved. Like they're laying down

1535
01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:56.000
their garments as Jesus is walking, and they're

1536
01:27:56.000 --> 01:28:00.000
saying, blessed be, right, the Messiah, and they're

1537
01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:04.000
saying all of these high praises and waving palm branches

1538
01:28:04.000 --> 01:28:08.000
and all of that, and three days later, they're saying, crucify him.

1539
01:28:08.000 --> 01:28:12.000
See, people are fickle. We can't be moved by their praise. If you

1540
01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:16.000
are driven by their praise, then you're in another bondage. We can't be

1541
01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:20.000
moved by their praise. In fact, you can thank when you get a

1542
01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:24.000
compliment, and then even pass on because

1543
01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:28.000
you didn't get there by yourself. Receive it, say thank you so much.

1544
01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:32.000
When people say this has been an amazing series,

1545
01:28:32.000 --> 01:28:36.000
this was such a team effort. Do you know how many people worked hard to bring you this?

1546
01:28:36.000 --> 01:28:40.000
It's not about me. It's about God. It's about

1547
01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:44.000
his body coming together. So you're able to

1548
01:28:44.000 --> 01:28:48.000
receive the praise. You don't have false humility. Ah, it's nothing.

1549
01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:52.000
I didn't do anything. No, that's false humility, okay?

1550
01:28:52.000 --> 01:28:56.000
You can say, yeah, it's been an amazing week. A lot of women's lives were

1551
01:28:56.000 --> 01:29:00.000
changed. A lot of breakthrough happened, but I got to tell you, God

1552
01:29:00.000 --> 01:29:04.000
gets the glory, number one, and I had so much help. There was

1553
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:08.000
times when I was falling apart and Berlin was praying for me. There was times

1554
01:29:08.000 --> 01:29:12.000
I was falling apart and JD was praying for me. There was things coming at me.

1555
01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:16.000
There was issues coming at me that were trying to take me out,

1556
01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:20.000
even my whole body shaking, trying to get me not to do this.

1557
01:29:20.000 --> 01:29:24.000
There was things coming at me. If I didn't have the prayer warriors, I don't know

1558
01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:28.000
if this would have been the same. There was times when there was

1559
01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:32.000
far too much to do. There's no way I could have done it all, and

1560
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:36.000
Linda, like selflessly came in and did it. Cindy came in

1561
01:29:36.000 --> 01:29:40.000
selflessly. I haven't been honoring Cindy and the web pages and everything

1562
01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:44.000
she's done, selflessly giving of herself. Ugo

1563
01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:48.000
with the email, selflessly giving of himself.

1564
01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:52.000
That's how you receive the praise.

1565
01:29:52.000 --> 01:29:56.000
And we can't be moved by the criticism. You can go back

1566
01:29:56.000 --> 01:30:00.000
to the Lord and say, hey, is there any truth in that? Is there something I need

1567
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:02.000
to know?

1568
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:03.920
to repent, is there something I need to ask forgiveness from?

1569
01:30:03.920 --> 01:30:07.320
Just like we said, we cannot be stuck in the past.

1570
01:30:07.320 --> 01:30:11.560
We've got to understand there's only now.

1571
01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:13.440
We cannot be stuck in the past.

1572
01:30:13.440 --> 01:30:15.120
We've got to forgive ourselves.

1573
01:30:15.120 --> 01:30:16.840
We've got to forgive the past.

1574
01:30:16.840 --> 01:30:18.600
We glean the fruit.

1575
01:30:18.600 --> 01:30:19.880
We bless it.

1576
01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:21.520
We release it.

1577
01:30:21.520 --> 01:30:23.440
Same thing with praise.

1578
01:30:23.440 --> 01:30:25.320
Hey, get it.

1579
01:30:25.320 --> 01:30:26.800
That's great.

1580
01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:28.840
The criticism, get it.

1581
01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:30.040
Forgive it, release it.

1582
01:30:30.040 --> 01:30:31.960
They're speaking from their perception.

1583
01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:32.720
It might be true.

1584
01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:33.760
It might not be true.

1585
01:30:33.760 --> 01:30:35.440
Ask the Lord if there's any truth.

1586
01:30:35.440 --> 01:30:35.920
Move on.

1587
01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:40.040
We've got to unhitch as we're moved.

1588
01:30:40.040 --> 01:30:43.560
So we see these two brothers.

1589
01:30:43.560 --> 01:30:45.560
And we see two, remember I said there's

1590
01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:47.040
different layers of mindset.

1591
01:30:47.040 --> 01:30:48.800
There's an interesting mindset.

1592
01:30:48.800 --> 01:30:52.040
So we've kind of gotten the idea of the first brother that

1593
01:30:52.040 --> 01:30:54.320
went and squandered everything.

1594
01:30:54.320 --> 01:30:57.960
And he tried to find fulfillment in wine, and women, and song,

1595
01:30:58.400 --> 01:31:02.400
and money, and all of that stuff, travel, and pride.

1596
01:31:02.400 --> 01:31:03.720
He tried to find it all.

1597
01:31:03.720 --> 01:31:07.200
And he found himself in the pig pen.

1598
01:31:07.200 --> 01:31:09.240
And we saw the whole thing.

1599
01:31:09.240 --> 01:31:12.560
He came to himself, and then he changed his vocabulary

1600
01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:14.800
and said, I will go.

1601
01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:16.040
And then he took action.

1602
01:31:16.040 --> 01:31:17.160
We've been talking all week.

1603
01:31:17.160 --> 01:31:19.400
This is all about action.

1604
01:31:19.400 --> 01:31:21.080
Nothing happens without action.

1605
01:31:21.080 --> 01:31:23.280
Like you've been hearing a lot today.

1606
01:31:23.280 --> 01:31:27.520
But unless you take action on this and make it your own,

1607
01:31:27.560 --> 01:31:29.320
it means nothing.

1608
01:31:29.320 --> 01:31:31.040
So he took action.

1609
01:31:31.040 --> 01:31:36.800
But the beautiful thing is that while he was still far away,

1610
01:31:36.800 --> 01:31:38.840
the father met him.

1611
01:31:38.840 --> 01:31:40.760
But there's another interesting brother

1612
01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:44.480
that comes into the picture in Luke 15.

1613
01:31:44.480 --> 01:31:48.640
And that's the self-righteous overachiever.

1614
01:31:48.640 --> 01:31:49.720
There's another son.

1615
01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:51.040
The father had two sons.

1616
01:31:51.040 --> 01:31:53.960
He had the victim, and he had the self-righteous

1617
01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:55.760
overachiever.

1618
01:31:55.760 --> 01:31:57.800
That's fascinating.

1619
01:31:57.800 --> 01:32:07.320
And so it says that when his older son was in the field,

1620
01:32:07.320 --> 01:32:10.440
and as he returned and came near the house,

1621
01:32:10.440 --> 01:32:12.360
he heard music and dancing.

1622
01:32:12.360 --> 01:32:14.200
Because remember, the father had brought back

1623
01:32:14.200 --> 01:32:18.280
the prodigal son, kill a fatted cat, put the robe on him,

1624
01:32:18.280 --> 01:32:20.000
reminding him who he is, put the ring,

1625
01:32:20.000 --> 01:32:22.240
reminding him his authority, put the sandals,

1626
01:32:22.240 --> 01:32:23.920
reminding him he's not a slave.

1627
01:32:23.920 --> 01:32:25.240
They're back home.

1628
01:32:25.240 --> 01:32:26.720
They've got the fatted calf.

1629
01:32:26.720 --> 01:32:27.440
There's music.

1630
01:32:27.440 --> 01:32:28.040
There's dance.

1631
01:32:28.040 --> 01:32:29.200
There's partying.

1632
01:32:29.200 --> 01:32:32.240
The overachiever's out there working.

1633
01:32:32.240 --> 01:32:35.960
The Mary and the Martha, can't you see?

1634
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:37.880
Well, he's out spending the money.

1635
01:32:37.880 --> 01:32:39.800
I'm the one doing the work here.

1636
01:32:39.800 --> 01:32:41.720
Is anybody going to recognize me?

1637
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:45.640
I'm the one busting my butt right now.

1638
01:32:45.640 --> 01:32:48.760
Yeah, we got one of those in the family too, right?

1639
01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:51.920
And so he called one of the servant boys to him,

1640
01:32:51.920 --> 01:32:53.680
and he said, what does this mean?

1641
01:32:53.680 --> 01:32:55.720
And he said to him, your brother has come.

1642
01:32:55.720 --> 01:33:00.000
Your father's killed that weak, fattened calf

1643
01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:04.600
because he's received him back safe and well.

1644
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:07.960
The response is very interesting in verse 28.

1645
01:33:07.960 --> 01:33:12.960
The elder brother was angry.

1646
01:33:12.960 --> 01:33:17.760
Angry, not joy, not happy to see his brother, not relieved,

1647
01:33:17.760 --> 01:33:19.600
not answered prayer.

1648
01:33:19.640 --> 01:33:25.000
Angry, with deep-seated wrath.

1649
01:33:25.000 --> 01:33:27.000
We're talking bitterness.

1650
01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:31.760
Root of bitterness has kicked in.

1651
01:33:31.760 --> 01:33:34.920
And he resolved, I'm not going in.

1652
01:33:34.920 --> 01:33:38.000
Uh-uh, you're not going to catch me eating with him,

1653
01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:40.680
that lowdown scum.

1654
01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:43.760
Uh-uh, I don't want any part of that.

1655
01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:46.680
Self-righteous overachiever.

1656
01:33:46.680 --> 01:33:51.920
And the father says, come on, come enjoy.

1657
01:33:51.920 --> 01:33:55.240
Come on, let's eat together.

1658
01:33:55.240 --> 01:33:59.480
And he goes off into his pity overachiever.

1659
01:33:59.480 --> 01:34:02.240
These many years I have served you.

1660
01:34:02.240 --> 01:34:06.000
How many of you said, God, I have served you all of my life.

1661
01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:06.800
For what?

1662
01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:07.960
Now I got this.

1663
01:34:07.960 --> 01:34:11.040
Or we said to a person, do you see what I've done for you?

1664
01:34:11.040 --> 01:34:12.360
Maybe your parents did that.

1665
01:34:12.360 --> 01:34:15.160
Do you see what I've done for you?

1666
01:34:15.160 --> 01:34:16.640
We got one of those kind of people.

1667
01:34:16.640 --> 01:34:17.920
Do you guys recognize that speech?

1668
01:34:17.920 --> 01:34:18.840
Any of you have that?

1669
01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:20.240
Do you see what I've done for you?

1670
01:34:20.240 --> 01:34:24.160
Or you've done a, do you see what I've done for you?

1671
01:34:24.160 --> 01:34:27.280
So he goes into the, do you see what I've done for you?

1672
01:34:27.280 --> 01:34:28.560
I've served you.

1673
01:34:28.560 --> 01:34:30.840
I've never disobeyed you.

1674
01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:34.760
Yet, you never gave me.

1675
01:34:34.760 --> 01:34:36.400
We've got some comparison going on.

1676
01:34:36.400 --> 01:34:40.800
You did it for my brother, but you didn't do it for me.

1677
01:34:40.800 --> 01:34:42.720
You gave him more.

1678
01:34:42.720 --> 01:34:44.760
You didn't give me.

1679
01:34:44.760 --> 01:34:47.720
We've got the whole comparison stuff going on, right?

1680
01:34:47.720 --> 01:34:49.280
And have you ever heard that?

1681
01:34:49.280 --> 01:34:51.080
Anything going on, going on in the family?

1682
01:34:51.080 --> 01:34:52.920
This often happens in families.

1683
01:34:53.880 --> 01:34:57.800
You never gave me so much as a little kid,

1684
01:34:57.800 --> 01:35:00.160
little goat, that I.

1685
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:07.000
my revel and feast and be happy and make merry with my friends.

1686
01:35:07.000 --> 01:35:10.000
You did it for the scum.

1687
01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:19.000
You've never done anything for me I've worked so hard I've served you. I've kept the law perfectly Pharisee right here.

1688
01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:32.000
But when this son of yours arrives, who devoured your estate with immoral women, you've killed for him a weak fattened calf.

1689
01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:46.000
Now, what I find really fascinating is that God responds to both of them

1690
01:35:46.000 --> 01:36:01.000
with the same love, with the same love, it's it's it's really really fascinating that he responds to both of them with the same love.

1691
01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:06.000
And the father's answer to this one was amazing.

1692
01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:18.000
But to the low one that squandered all the wealth. He reminded him of his identity and who he was he put the sandals on said you're not a slave God's reminding some of you that you're not a slave.

1693
01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:29.000
Some of you have carried a slave mentality. He put the robe on him to remind him of his identity your son your daughter, he put the ring to say you've got authority, stop giving up your authority.

1694
01:36:29.000 --> 01:36:41.000
He put the candle and he invited him back home he received him he met him when he was far away. He loved him embraced him he kissed him he brought him home, there's no judgment there's no condemnation there's only love.

1695
01:36:41.000 --> 01:36:50.000
And to this one to this self righteous child. He says, 31 verse 31, son.

1696
01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:53.000
You're always with me.

1697
01:36:54.000 --> 01:37:02.000
All that is mine is yours.

1698
01:37:02.000 --> 01:37:13.000
How many of you forgotten that God is always with you all that is his is yours.

1699
01:37:13.000 --> 01:37:28.000
And so, in knowing that we break these lies there is no lack everything that the father has. I have everything that Jesus is, I am. You see, and so you're able to to come back.

1700
01:37:28.000 --> 01:37:44.000
So breaking those lies there's some work for you guys, you might want to take communion, you might want to journal on these pages you might want to really pray, you might want to ask the Holy Spirit to show you the truth of some of these lies that are rooted

1701
01:37:45.000 --> 01:38:01.000
you might want to work with someone who does that, and helping you but taking communion is so powerful. And so there's some questions there like who or what runs you.

1702
01:38:01.000 --> 01:38:03.000
Who's running you right now.

1703
01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:21.000
Is fear running you is lack running you I don't have time to pray I don't have time to think I got to make money is anger and bitterness running you is what, who or what is running you right now.

1704
01:38:21.000 --> 01:38:30.000
Who or what is running you right now.

1705
01:38:30.000 --> 01:38:35.000
Romans 12 tells us.

1706
01:38:35.000 --> 01:38:37.000
Do not.

1707
01:38:37.000 --> 01:38:43.000
And I don't see that in here so you can just make a note Romans 12 tells us, do not.

1708
01:38:43.000 --> 01:38:47.000
It's Romans 12 one through two or three. Okay.

1709
01:38:47.000 --> 01:38:54.000
Do not be conformed to the world.

1710
01:38:55.000 --> 01:39:00.000
Do not be conformed to the world.

1711
01:39:01.000 --> 01:39:12.000
Or we can be transformed conformed just like a jello mold, you pour the jello in the mold you put it in the refrigerator in the morning it comes out, it's conformed.

1712
01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:25.000
In other words, who or what is shaping you is the new shaping you is fear is the need to be light is perfectionism is like who or what is shaping you.

1713
01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:30.000
Are you conformed, or are you transformed.

1714
01:39:31.000 --> 01:39:45.000
Too often society is molding us according to their standards, they're shaping our identity through popular opinions, as if we can we can change our identity.

1715
01:39:45.000 --> 01:39:49.000
You were born with your fingerprint you can't change it.

1716
01:39:49.000 --> 01:39:53.000
You were born to be you.

1717
01:39:53.000 --> 01:39:58.000
And so just like Jesus knew his identity.

1718
01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:00.000
And so just like Jesus knew his identity.

1719
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:03.920
Our job is to know us.

1720
01:40:03.920 --> 01:40:08.400
And so scripture tells us that we're created,

1721
01:40:08.400 --> 01:40:12.560
Genesis, we're created in God's image and likeness.

1722
01:40:12.560 --> 01:40:13.960
You've got to remember that.

1723
01:40:15.800 --> 01:40:18.400
That we're fearfully and wonderfully made,

1724
01:40:18.400 --> 01:40:21.420
each with a unique purpose and a divine calling.

1725
01:40:22.480 --> 01:40:24.720
That we are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

1726
01:40:24.720 --> 01:40:26.520
We actually carry God.

1727
01:40:26.560 --> 01:40:28.400
When we walk in a room,

1728
01:40:31.280 --> 01:40:34.200
when we walk, okay, Rhonda, so great you were here,

1729
01:40:34.200 --> 01:40:36.720
take care of your mama, send lots of love.

1730
01:40:36.720 --> 01:40:39.440
So we're fearfully and wonderfully made,

1731
01:40:39.440 --> 01:40:41.880
we're a temple of the Holy Spirit.

1732
01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:46.880
Scripture says, God is in us and we are in.

1733
01:40:47.520 --> 01:40:49.960
We have the mind of Christ, we are one.

1734
01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:52.320
There's so many words, we're given dominion,

1735
01:40:52.320 --> 01:40:54.780
we're given power, we're given authority.

1736
01:40:56.760 --> 01:41:01.760
I want you to kind of land on Ephesians 2.10.

1737
01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:04.620
It's in your notes, it's so beautiful.

1738
01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:09.760
It says, for we are God's own handiwork.

1739
01:41:09.760 --> 01:41:13.160
You're God's, by the way, that's poema,

1740
01:41:13.160 --> 01:41:17.120
the word, the original word's poema, poetry.

1741
01:41:17.120 --> 01:41:19.920
Like Kelly's a poet, right?

1742
01:41:19.920 --> 01:41:22.000
We're God's poetry.

1743
01:41:22.000 --> 01:41:24.600
He looks at you, nothing you can do

1744
01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:26.760
to make him love you any more,

1745
01:41:26.760 --> 01:41:30.720
nothing you can do to make him love you any less.

1746
01:41:30.720 --> 01:41:34.480
You're beautiful, you're beautiful,

1747
01:41:34.480 --> 01:41:37.840
and you're God's poetry, you're God's poema.

1748
01:41:37.840 --> 01:41:40.360
It says, we're God's own handiwork,

1749
01:41:40.360 --> 01:41:45.360
his workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus.

1750
01:41:45.960 --> 01:41:50.420
Born anew, that we may do the good works

1751
01:41:50.420 --> 01:41:54.180
which God predestined, planned beforehand.

1752
01:41:54.700 --> 01:41:55.540
Guess what?

1753
01:41:55.540 --> 01:41:57.580
There was a plan before you got here,

1754
01:41:57.580 --> 01:41:59.660
before the foundation of the world.

1755
01:41:59.660 --> 01:42:03.500
Those dreams in your heart, those goals,

1756
01:42:03.500 --> 01:42:06.420
that vision that makes you cry,

1757
01:42:06.420 --> 01:42:08.860
those skills you've been acquiring,

1758
01:42:08.860 --> 01:42:12.700
those lessons you've learned, those blessings,

1759
01:42:12.700 --> 01:42:17.700
all that makes you you, a beautiful you,

1760
01:42:19.300 --> 01:42:22.620
are for you to do the good works that were planned

1761
01:42:22.620 --> 01:42:24.980
before the foundation of the world,

1762
01:42:24.980 --> 01:42:29.980
taking paths which he prepared ahead of time,

1763
01:42:30.260 --> 01:42:34.060
that we should walk in them, listen to this,

1764
01:42:34.060 --> 01:42:36.820
living the good life.

1765
01:42:37.940 --> 01:42:42.300
When I talk about total soul prosperity, 3 John 2,

1766
01:42:42.300 --> 01:42:45.340
we're called to prosper not just financially,

1767
01:42:45.340 --> 01:42:49.220
my heart, okay, the reason I created

1768
01:42:49.220 --> 01:42:52.220
the prosperity accelerator,

1769
01:42:52.860 --> 01:42:55.060
and if you haven't registered yet,

1770
01:42:55.060 --> 01:42:57.820
I'm telling you, in January,

1771
01:42:57.820 --> 01:43:00.740
your ideal buyers are gonna be buying,

1772
01:43:00.740 --> 01:43:03.980
they're gonna be ready to buy.

1773
01:43:03.980 --> 01:43:06.700
Will you be the one they buy from?

1774
01:43:06.700 --> 01:43:11.100
That's why I created it condensed, fast, five days.

1775
01:43:11.100 --> 01:43:13.340
I gave you 90 days of office hours,

1776
01:43:13.340 --> 01:43:16.420
I'm gonna hold your hand, but we gotta get this done.

1777
01:43:16.420 --> 01:43:19.220
You gotta show up because it says right here,

1778
01:43:19.220 --> 01:43:22.900
you're called to live this good life.

1779
01:43:22.900 --> 01:43:26.220
You're called to live this, you're called to be it.

1780
01:43:27.300 --> 01:43:29.940
And if you're still confused about this,

1781
01:43:29.940 --> 01:43:32.300
I've offered you a free call.

1782
01:43:32.300 --> 01:43:34.940
Already, by the way, the people who have scheduled

1783
01:43:34.940 --> 01:43:37.140
free calls with me, they've already gotten clients,

1784
01:43:37.140 --> 01:43:38.180
can you believe that?

1785
01:43:39.420 --> 01:43:41.940
Like they had courage to act,

1786
01:43:41.940 --> 01:43:44.260
and they already got a plan, they already got clients.

1787
01:43:44.260 --> 01:43:46.460
I shared the story yesterday with Fonda,

1788
01:43:46.460 --> 01:43:48.060
congratulations to Fonda,

1789
01:43:48.060 --> 01:43:50.460
had a couple more of you right after that,

1790
01:43:50.460 --> 01:43:53.940
making offers, getting clients, this is so real.

1791
01:43:53.940 --> 01:43:57.300
So in the chat is the prosperity accelerator,

1792
01:43:57.300 --> 01:43:58.540
what are you waiting for?

1793
01:43:58.540 --> 01:44:00.300
Are you gonna be like the prodigal son

1794
01:44:00.300 --> 01:44:03.180
that says I will and then takes action?

1795
01:44:03.180 --> 01:44:05.860
Are you gonna get on and have a free call with me?

1796
01:44:05.860 --> 01:44:10.380
Are you gonna benefit from 30 years of business experience?

1797
01:44:10.380 --> 01:44:11.660
Or are you gonna still keep trying

1798
01:44:11.660 --> 01:44:13.060
to figure it out yourself?

1799
01:44:13.940 --> 01:44:15.620
That's really the question.

1800
01:44:15.620 --> 01:44:19.620
And so it says living the good life,

1801
01:44:19.620 --> 01:44:24.620
which he prearranged and made ready for us to live.

1802
01:44:26.460 --> 01:44:30.100
So to do this, to live the good life,

1803
01:44:30.100 --> 01:44:34.340
to get the premier clients, to have the income flowing,

1804
01:44:34.340 --> 01:44:37.940
to make the impact, to leave the legacy,

1805
01:44:37.940 --> 01:44:39.500
to do all of these things,

1806
01:44:39.500 --> 01:44:40.980
there's some things you've gotta do.

1807
01:44:40.980 --> 01:44:42.340
You've gotta discover,

1808
01:44:42.340 --> 01:44:44.420
or you've gotta get revelation knowledge

1809
01:44:44.420 --> 01:44:46.980
about your true identity.

1810
01:44:46.980 --> 01:44:49.660
You gotta be still and cultivate

1811
01:44:49.660 --> 01:44:52.260
that deep connection with God.

1812
01:44:53.140 --> 01:44:55.340
And maybe some of you need to forgive yourself.

1813
01:44:55.340 --> 01:44:57.380
Maybe some of you need to forgive God.

1814
01:44:57.380 --> 01:44:58.820
Maybe you're still in the victim

1815
01:44:58.820 --> 01:45:00.720
and you're blaming God for everything.

1816
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:05.760
that happen. All God wants you to do is take a couple steps like the prodigal son. It says

1817
01:45:05.760 --> 01:45:13.920
in the prodigal son that while he was still far off, the father ran to meet him, hugged him,

1818
01:45:13.920 --> 01:45:22.000
kissed him. That's your God. We'll run to meet you. You see, God doesn't change. He's the same

1819
01:45:22.000 --> 01:45:28.880
yesterday, today, and forever. God never left. The prodigal son left. The prodigal son chose the

1820
01:45:28.880 --> 01:45:35.920
pig pen. The prodigal son chose to spend the... God didn't do it. And he chose it. He had to

1821
01:45:35.920 --> 01:45:41.920
choose to come back. But when he made even the tiniest attempt to go back, the father ran

1822
01:45:43.120 --> 01:45:49.280
and Lavish was kissing his neck and hugging him. So maybe some of you need to forgive yourself.

1823
01:45:49.280 --> 01:45:55.840
Some of you need to forgive God. God's going to meet you. God never left. That older son,

1824
01:45:56.560 --> 01:46:03.280
like the father never kept anything from him. He said, oh, what are you talking about? You didn't

1825
01:46:03.280 --> 01:46:07.760
need to be out working in the field. You didn't need to be a slave. Everything that I have,

1826
01:46:07.760 --> 01:46:15.840
this is your inheritance. All that I am, you are, right? So we've got to discover our identity

1827
01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:23.520
and restore that connection with God. Silence the noise and learn to hear his voice. In the

1828
01:46:23.520 --> 01:46:27.760
Prosper Leader membership, there's a whole Bible study. I did a whole series on learning to hear

1829
01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:34.560
God's voice. If you haven't learned to do that, that's where it starts. Go listen to that whole

1830
01:46:34.560 --> 01:46:43.360
study. It calls us to practice. We get back into the ancient things that have been known throughout

1831
01:46:43.360 --> 01:46:50.720
all time of self-discovery, of being rooted in prayer, of meditation, of reflection, of

1832
01:46:50.720 --> 01:46:56.960
contemplation. Those things of you got to turn off the noise. You got to stop the go, go, go, go,

1833
01:46:56.960 --> 01:47:06.000
go, go, go. And you got to be still. Give yourself that grace. Turn off everything. Bring back some

1834
01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:13.920
of the ancient arts. One of the most powerful exercises is Abba, Father, Papa, however you want

1835
01:47:13.920 --> 01:47:25.520
to call them, love. Show me me through your eyes. Help me see me the way that you see me.

1836
01:47:27.440 --> 01:47:34.240
Meditation, contemplation, journaling. We've got to come back to these things. Being still,

1837
01:47:34.240 --> 01:47:44.240
being in nature. We can't not be in the word. That's truth. That's life. That's the honey in

1838
01:47:44.240 --> 01:47:54.480
the honeycomb, right? So making time, that's a priority in the morning. Letting God speak to you,

1839
01:47:55.520 --> 01:48:03.120
okay? And as we seek God's guidance, we can strip away all the things that we're not. All the false

1840
01:48:03.120 --> 01:48:10.480
identities. All the layers that society has said that we are or that we're not. So that we can

1841
01:48:10.480 --> 01:48:20.400
reveal that poema, how God sees you. We can reveal who you are created to be. I'm going to close

1842
01:48:20.400 --> 01:48:27.520
with a prayer. And it's found in Ephesians 3. It's one of my favorite prayers. And let this prayer

1843
01:48:28.240 --> 01:48:34.560
just soak all of this in. There's been a lot that I've shared. I packed more in two hours

1844
01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:42.640
than I think probably most would do, okay? But I was so hungry for you to know who you really are.

1845
01:48:43.920 --> 01:48:52.640
I live, you know that my passion is to equip and empower, right, women, Christian women,

1846
01:48:53.280 --> 01:49:00.720
right, to equip and empower you to prosper in every way, physically, relationally, spiritually,

1847
01:49:01.360 --> 01:49:07.120
okay? So I'm going to close with this prayer. I'm going to close with this prayer. Let this soak in.

1848
01:49:08.880 --> 01:49:15.760
May he grant you. Put your name in there. Go back and write this out with your name in.

1849
01:49:15.760 --> 01:49:27.120
May he grant me. May he grant you out of the rich treasure of his glory to be strengthened

1850
01:49:28.320 --> 01:49:38.320
and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man, in the inner woman. So may God out of his

1851
01:49:38.400 --> 01:49:46.080
treasure, out of his glory, may he strengthen you. May he reinforce you with power in your inner man

1852
01:49:46.080 --> 01:49:51.280
by the Holy Spirit himself dwelling in your innermost being and personality.

1853
01:49:52.720 --> 01:49:59.760
May Christ through your faith. This is activated by faith. May Christ through your faith

1854
01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:03.000
Actually dwell.

1855
01:50:03.000 --> 01:50:04.000
Just get this.

1856
01:50:04.000 --> 01:50:07.000
The Amplified gives you a lot of words to understand this.

1857
01:50:07.000 --> 01:50:13.000
May Christ through your faith actually dwell, actually settle down,

1858
01:50:13.000 --> 01:50:24.000
actually abide, actually make his permanent home in your hearts.

1859
01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:29.000
May you be rooted deep in love.

1860
01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:33.000
Let your roots go down deep in love.

1861
01:50:33.000 --> 01:50:35.000
That's what anchors you.

1862
01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:43.000
May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love.

1863
01:50:43.000 --> 01:50:48.000
You're rooted, you're grounded, you're founded securely on love.

1864
01:50:48.000 --> 01:50:56.000
That you may have the power to be strong and apprehend and grasp with all the saints,

1865
01:50:56.000 --> 01:51:02.000
all of God's devoted people, the experience of that love.

1866
01:51:02.000 --> 01:51:06.000
That experience of that love.

1867
01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:08.000
What is the breadth?

1868
01:51:08.000 --> 01:51:10.000
What is the length?

1869
01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:12.000
What is the height of that depth?

1870
01:51:12.000 --> 01:51:15.000
How high can God's love go?

1871
01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:19.000
How wide can God's love go?

1872
01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:22.000
How far can God's love go?

1873
01:51:22.000 --> 01:51:26.000
How deep can God's love go?

1874
01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:30.000
It says that you can really come to know.

1875
01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:34.000
I mean really, really, no religious spirit, no just talking about it.

1876
01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:39.000
You can really come to know practically.

1877
01:51:39.000 --> 01:51:41.000
This is practical.

1878
01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:42.000
This is real life.

1879
01:51:42.000 --> 01:51:44.000
This is not just ethereal.

1880
01:51:44.000 --> 01:51:45.000
This is practical.

1881
01:51:46.000 --> 01:51:51.000
That you may really come to know practically how?

1882
01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:54.000
Through experience for yourself.

1883
01:51:54.000 --> 01:51:59.000
This is only everything I've said to you today is going to be meaningless chatter.

1884
01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:02.000
Unless you do this part.

1885
01:52:02.000 --> 01:52:06.000
That you really come to know practically through experience for yourself.

1886
01:52:06.000 --> 01:52:09.000
The love of Christ.

1887
01:52:09.000 --> 01:52:11.000
The far surpasses mere knowledge.

1888
01:52:11.000 --> 01:52:14.000
This is not about head knowledge.

1889
01:52:15.000 --> 01:52:19.000
This is beyond knowledge without experience.

1890
01:52:19.000 --> 01:52:25.000
That you might be filled through your whole being.

1891
01:52:25.000 --> 01:52:28.000
That you might be filled through your whole being.

1892
01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:31.000
Unto all the fullness of God.

1893
01:52:31.000 --> 01:52:33.000
I want you to get this visual.

1894
01:52:33.000 --> 01:52:37.000
That you're so full of God.

1895
01:52:37.000 --> 01:52:43.000
It says that you may have the richest measure of divine presence.

1896
01:52:43.000 --> 01:52:44.000
Listen to this.

1897
01:52:44.000 --> 01:52:51.000
And become a body wholly filled and flooded with God himself.

1898
01:52:51.000 --> 01:52:59.000
What would life be like if every part of your being was just flooded with God himself.

1899
01:52:59.000 --> 01:53:01.000
With love itself.

1900
01:53:01.000 --> 01:53:03.000
With infinite power itself.

1901
01:53:03.000 --> 01:53:08.000
With infinite joy itself.

1902
01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:11.000
Infinite peace itself.

1903
01:53:12.000 --> 01:53:13.000
That you're filled with God.

1904
01:53:13.000 --> 01:53:16.000
That you're going to have the richest measure of divine presence.

1905
01:53:16.000 --> 01:53:20.000
Become a body fully filled and flooded with God himself.

1906
01:53:20.000 --> 01:53:22.000
Now to him.

1907
01:53:22.000 --> 01:53:27.000
Who by an inconsequence of the action of his power.

1908
01:53:27.000 --> 01:53:30.000
That is at work within us.

1909
01:53:30.000 --> 01:53:32.000
Is able.

1910
01:53:32.000 --> 01:53:37.000
He is able to carry out his purpose.

1911
01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:40.000
And do.

1912
01:53:40.000 --> 01:53:43.000
Super abundantly.

1913
01:53:43.000 --> 01:53:46.000
Far over and above.

1914
01:53:46.000 --> 01:53:48.000
All that we dare.

1915
01:53:48.000 --> 01:53:51.000
Ask or think.

1916
01:53:51.000 --> 01:53:54.000
Infinitely beyond our highest prayers.

1917
01:53:54.000 --> 01:53:56.000
Our highest desires.

1918
01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:57.000
Our highest thoughts.

1919
01:53:57.000 --> 01:53:58.000
Our highest hopes.

1920
01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:00.000
Our highest dreams.

1921
01:54:00.000 --> 01:54:02.000
That's what God wants to do.

1922
01:54:02.000 --> 01:54:03.000
Exceedingly.

1923
01:54:03.000 --> 01:54:05.000
Abundantly.

1924
01:54:05.000 --> 01:54:08.000
Above and beyond anything you could ask.

1925
01:54:08.000 --> 01:54:09.000
You could hope for.

1926
01:54:09.000 --> 01:54:11.000
You could imagine.

1927
01:54:11.000 --> 01:54:14.000
Beyond your wildest imagination.

1928
01:54:14.000 --> 01:54:20.000
That's what God has for you.

1929
01:54:20.000 --> 01:54:23.000
That's why.

1930
01:54:23.000 --> 01:54:26.000
Stepping into your true identity.

1931
01:54:26.000 --> 01:54:29.000
Knowing who you really are in Christ.

1932
01:54:29.000 --> 01:54:32.000
Being rooted and grounded and anchored.

1933
01:54:32.000 --> 01:54:35.000
You're in the water.

1934
01:54:35.000 --> 01:54:38.000
Like your roots are in the river.

1935
01:54:38.000 --> 01:54:41.000
So that your leaves don't even wither.

1936
01:54:41.000 --> 01:54:42.000
You're strong.

1937
01:54:42.000 --> 01:54:44.000
You're mighty.

1938
01:54:44.000 --> 01:54:46.000
You're not moved by circumstances.

1939
01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:49.000
You move circumstances.

1940
01:54:49.000 --> 01:54:52.000
You say to the mountain, be thou removed.

1941
01:54:52.000 --> 01:54:55.000
You say to the mountain of debt, be thou removed.

1942
01:54:55.000 --> 01:54:58.000
You say to the mountain of fear, be thou removed.

1943
01:54:58.000 --> 01:55:01.000
Because you remember, you come back to yourself.

1944
01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:09.600
you are. I bless you all. Thank you for spending this time with me. I love you.

1945
01:55:09.600 --> 01:55:16.180
Thank you for the hearts. Thank you for the hearts. I love you. My sisters, my

1946
01:55:16.180 --> 01:55:24.640
brothers, I love you. We'll see you Monday morning, 9 a.m. All the other

1947
01:55:24.640 --> 01:55:29.560
replays are in the Facebook group till midnight Sunday night. Unless you want to

1948
01:55:29.560 --> 01:55:36.600
be a VIP. Okay, see you Monday morning. God bless you. So excited to spend this

1949
01:55:36.600 --> 01:55:40.520
time with you. Bye-bye.
