00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.520
We are now live in the Online School of Sunship as well.

2
00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:05.840
Dawn, great to have you.

3
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:07.760
Michelle, great to have you.

4
00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:09.240
We've got a whole crew here.

5
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:10.720
It's beautiful.

6
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.960
And massive welcome to all the new people

7
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.640
in the Online School of Sunship, whether you're

8
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.320
live or delayed watching the replay.

9
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.160
It is wonderful to have everyone jumping on here.

10
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:31.760
And we are right now, we are in week three.

11
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.960
We're just beginning week three of the 12-week Open Heaven

12
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:37.640
Masterclass.

13
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.800
And we have kind of been taking our time

14
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:44.680
settling into this adventure and this journey

15
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.600
together, which is great.

16
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.680
So now we're kind of getting to the meaty section

17
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:58.440
of laying the foundations for the next 10 weeks, OK?

18
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:02.000
So this is where we're going to really start

19
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.800
bringing a little bit of intentionality and intensity

20
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:10.440
into your world and some more hard things, OK?

21
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:11.680
So who likes hard things?

22
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.560
Who likes doing hard things?

23
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.320
Who does hard things?

24
00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:16.320
All of us.

25
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:17.720
Yes, that's what we do here.

26
00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:19.640
We do hard things.

27
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.760
The Online School of Sunship, or you

28
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.360
could call us the Online School of Hard Things.

29
00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:26.240
That's what we do.

30
00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:27.440
Tammy, welcome.

31
00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:29.760
Good to have you.

32
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.080
So good to have you with us.

33
00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:35.960
And Bev, good to have you.

34
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:37.280
Red Miller, good to have you.

35
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.360
Yes, everyone.

36
00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:41.680
Good to see you all.

37
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.280
So just for everyone who's kind of whether you've

38
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.480
been tracking every session or not,

39
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.600
whether you're just kind of catching up, that's OK.

40
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:55.360
Remember, you can catch all the replays

41
00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:57.040
if you've missed anything.

42
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:03.200
The replays are always available in the Guide section.

43
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.600
So it used to be called Units.

44
00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:06.080
It's now called the Guide section.

45
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:07.720
So if you're in the Facebook group,

46
00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:12.640
you can go to the top of the page and click Guides.

47
00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:14.960
And it will take you to where all the replays are

48
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.800
from past series and the Foundations course

49
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.760
and all of those things.

50
00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:24.120
But for now, we are really focused the next 10 weeks

51
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.440
here on the 12-week Open Heaven Masterclass.

52
00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:32.080
And who would like to shift their world dramatically

53
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.680
in this time?

54
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.840
Yes, yes, I see some people wanting

55
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.720
to see some dramatic shifts and changes.

56
00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:41.080
Well, that sounds great.

57
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.960
So let's start today.

58
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.040
Hey, Michelle, welcome.

59
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:51.280
Let's start today with, let's start praying in the spirit

60
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.200
for a few minutes.

61
00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:53.520
Let's just take three minutes now

62
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.520
to start praying in the spirit.

63
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.320
And then from there, we'll watch and see what God does.

64
00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:07.840
But if you haven't seen it as well, when we finish praying,

65
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.920
feel free to put in the chat here or in the Facebook group.

66
00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:14.640
If you're watching in the Facebook group,

67
00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:16.880
like some people are, good to have you with us.

68
00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:22.840
The link to the handouts is also in the description

69
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.960
of this video, so that handout, you can check that out.

70
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.800
But let's pray first, and then we'll

71
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.160
go on the adventure together.

72
00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:33.440
So Jesus, you guys all comfortable,

73
00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:35.040
happy praying in the Holy Spirit?

74
00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:36.240
If you are, here we go.

75
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.160
One, two, three, let's go.

76
00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:49.560
One, two, three, let's go.

77
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:22.120
I want you to do right now is I want you to imagine right now that you are living in the

78
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:43.880
fruition of your greatest dream in regards to intimacy with God.

79
00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:51.680
So just close your eyes, get still and I want you to imagine that you are in the living

80
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:58.680
right now in the fruition of your wildest dreams of intimacy with the Holy Spirit, with

81
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:04.640
the Father, with Yeshua, with Jesus.

82
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:10.720
So ask yourself, what does it feel like?

83
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:30.240
I'm seeing myself transfigured, weightless, just weightless in the spirit, kind of floating

84
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:40.559
in the divine dance, immersed, completely saturated in divine love, delight on steroids.

85
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:51.560
And I see myself and the Trinity weave together by kind of passing in between one another.

86
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:59.560
We're seamlessly one, but we're also dancing, entwined with one another, face to face.

87
00:09:03.400 --> 00:09:09.920
Eyeball to eyeball, I don't know what it looks like for you, but I want you to ask

88
00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:13.280
yourself, what does it feel like?

89
00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:21.440
And really intentionally engage with what it feels like as you imagine yourself in the

90
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.920
fruition of your wildest dreams of intimacy.

91
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:09.760
Now allow in this activation, allow your imagination to really grasp it.

92
00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:10.760
What does it feel like?

93
00:10:10.760 --> 00:10:21.760
How do you feel in the fruition of your wildest dreams of intimacy?

94
00:10:51.760 --> 00:11:00.600
Hey, why don't you just unmute for a moment and if you want to share, take a moment just

95
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.360
to share some bullet points.

96
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:06.600
Just what does it feel like you can stay there in that place if you want for a little longer,

97
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.240
if you want to share and just share and jump in and just share.

98
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:18.840
What does it feel like in that moment?

99
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:29.800
It feels like the world's just been shut out and I just feel totally focused and immersed

100
00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:36.880
in the love of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

101
00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:46.240
I just forgot everything and it was just us there.

102
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:55.240
I feel totally immersed in rays of light and peace, joy and stillness.

103
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.240
Whoa, come on.

104
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.480
Take a couple more.

105
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:06.240
I feel completely undone.

106
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:10.240
Whoa, come on.

107
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:16.240
Whoa, all right, just jump in there.

108
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.240
Someone else, just jump in.

109
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:25.240
It feels relief and relaxation.

110
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.240
It just feels right.

111
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.240
Whoa, come on.

112
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.240
That is great to hear.

113
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:38.240
Now, who would like that to be your normal state of being?

114
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.240
Whoa.

115
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.240
Okay, that is excellent.

116
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.240
That is what we're about in the 12-week Open Heaven Masterclass.

117
00:12:49.240 --> 00:13:01.240
It's about shifting your normal into an open heaven experience on a 24-7 basis.

118
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.240
I want to challenge you one more time on this.

119
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:11.240
I want to do this one more time and I want the goal.

120
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.240
What I want us to focus on is for 10 seconds.

121
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.240
Here's the goal.

122
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:23.240
I want us to get to a place where for 10 seconds, about 10 seconds, we are in that place and

123
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.240
we are totally undone.

124
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:33.240
I just want you to allow yourself just to let go and to go in your imagination and just

125
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:41.240
to imagine that, to imagine that feeling and just completely let go of anything in

126
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.240
this world that holds you back and just in your imagination allow yourself to fully be

127
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.240
fully undone and fully immersed in that feeling.

128
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.240
We're going after it for 10 seconds.

129
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:57.240
We just want to really focus in on that one moment.

130
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:58.240
Here we go.

131
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.240
We'll take a little bit longer.

132
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.240
We'll just create some quiet time and I want you to focus in and just hold it, hold it,

133
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:10.240
hold it in that place of oneness and union and the fruition of your wildest dreams of

134
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:11.240
intimacy.

135
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.240
Okay.

136
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.240
Beautiful.

137
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.240
All right.

138
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:53.240
Just tuck your hands up if you were able to, you know, have a good crack at that, if you

139
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.240
something beautiful happened that moment.

140
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.240
yep yep just wave your hands around if you did that okay so here's the here's the beautiful

141
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:13.360
thing about that right is if you can experience that for 10 seconds

142
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.480
then it's possible for that to become your constant state of being

143
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:28.960
okay if you can get it for five seconds then it's possible for that to be

144
00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:39.920

okay so um so you can just you can download that if you want i'll chuck it in here there

174
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:28.640

175
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:36.960
facebook i will also see if i can put it here in the comments as well but it is for those on

176
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:43.520
facebook it is already on um so for those on the on facebook it's already in the description of

177
00:19:43.520 --> 00:19:49.360
this video so you can just check it out in the description of the video so what we've got my

178
00:19:49.360 --> 00:19:55.440
friends and and this message this this session what this session is about this session is really

179
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.840
about just laying down some practicals for the next 12 weeks of how

180
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.040
we're gonna create a systematic process

181
00:20:04.040 --> 00:20:08.600
that's gonna produce exponential growth for us, okay?

182
00:20:08.600 --> 00:20:09.880
So you'll see it here.

183
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.120
I see some of you are checking it out.

184
00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:13.560
So foundations for exponential growth.

185
00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:17.120
So the first thing we're gonna talk about here

186
00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:20.160
is the seven sacred elements to balance.

187
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.440
And then after that, seven sacred elements to balance,

188
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.400
we're gonna talk about the hard things daily challenge.

189
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.920
And we're gonna check all of that out.

190
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:32.680
So there's some things that will make sense

191
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.880
and there's some things that won't make sense

192
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.880
in that handout without this video.

193
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.920
All right, so who's ready to get into the seven sacred?

194
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:41.760
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

195
00:20:41.760 --> 00:20:46.720
Before we do that, who did a picture?

196
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.800
So some people have drawn a picture

197
00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:52.280
of what intimacy,

198
00:20:52.280 --> 00:20:54.640
the greatest expression of intimacy looks like.

199
00:20:55.600 --> 00:21:00.600
I'm gonna share my screen with you for a second

200
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:07.440
and just show you my picture that I drew.

201
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.640
I drew it pretty simple.

202
00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:13.000
I was actually in the bath having,

203
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.280
oh, look at all these different pictures

204
00:21:14.280 --> 00:21:15.160
that people have drawn.

205
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.000
Who's this one?

206
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.360
That's Carrie, come on, beautiful.

207
00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:20.600
And Dawn, oh, I like that.

208
00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:22.840
I like all of this.

209
00:21:22.840 --> 00:21:24.560
Oh, that's my beautiful daughter.

210
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.680
Karina, nice.

211
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.320
Here's my one, here we go.

212
00:21:33.320 --> 00:21:36.880
I drew that while I was in the bath.

213
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.520
So I love, this is just one of my places

214
00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:41.720
that I love to have glory.

215
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.200
I love spending hours in the bath.

216
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.760
So sometimes that, if I want that in my life,

217
00:21:48.840 --> 00:21:50.160
the only place I'm gonna get that

218
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.280
is like get up at four in the morning

219
00:21:52.280 --> 00:21:55.080
and that way I can create lots of space

220
00:21:55.080 --> 00:21:58.080
to have hours in the bath enjoying Jesus.

221
00:21:58.080 --> 00:21:59.680
Ha ha, who likes that?

222
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:00.600
Who likes baths?

223
00:22:00.600 --> 00:22:02.440
My wife hates baths.

224
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.560
Well, it doesn't hate, it's just not her thing,

225
00:22:04.560 --> 00:22:05.800
but I like baths.

226
00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:07.200
So I drew that in there.

227
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.240
These rays here, for me,

228
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:12.000
they just represent transfiguration

229
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.200
and that weightless, glorious,

230
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.080
just undone in the wonders space.

231
00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:19.840
The music there and the holding hands,

232
00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:21.320
that's the divine dance.

233
00:22:21.320 --> 00:22:24.200
Got the face to face, 24 seven ecstasy.

234
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.680
Outdreaming darkness is what we do so often.

235
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:28.880
Chicago Glory Habitations and Discipling Nations,

236
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.480
that's kind of a little bit about my picture.

237
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.240
Let me stop that screen share.

238
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.000
Great to see everyone else's pictures.

239
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.080
Now the pictures are important

240
00:22:38.080 --> 00:22:40.760
and I'm gonna talk to you about the pictures

241
00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:46.600
when we get down to the daily hard things challenge.

242
00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:50.800
And we're gonna be talking about triggering, okay?

243
00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:52.960
So normally when people talk about triggering,

244
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:54.200
it's in a bad way.

245
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:55.760
And it's like when someone like, whoa,

246
00:22:55.760 --> 00:22:58.240
triggers out and has an emotional freak out

247
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.560
and a meltdown and they trigger in a bad way.

248
00:23:00.560 --> 00:23:04.120
We're gonna be talking about triggering in a good way.

249
00:23:04.120 --> 00:23:06.440
Okay, we're gonna redefine triggering.

250
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:07.480
Does that sound good?

251
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:11.320
So we're gonna redefine triggering

252
00:23:11.320 --> 00:23:14.400
and we're gonna learn how to trigger in the glory.

253
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.640
That's gonna be fun.

254
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:21.000
Okay, so let's get some interaction here.

255
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:25.840
Do you agree or disagree with this concept

256
00:23:25.840 --> 00:23:30.840
that if you wanna grow in intimacy with God,

257
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.120
you need to grow in all areas of your life at the same time?

258
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.040
Who agrees or disagrees with the context

259
00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:44.880
that if one area of your life is dysfunctional,

260
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.280
it holds you back in the other areas of your life?

261
00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:52.080
Or who agrees or disagrees with the concept

262
00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:55.640
that if you're thriving in one area of your life,

263
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.520
it adds momentum to all the other areas of your life?

264
00:23:58.520 --> 00:23:59.680
Agree or disagree?

265
00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:05.720
Got some agreeing, we've got some, yeah.

266
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:07.800
Okay, so I think that's right.

267
00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:09.040
I think that's true, right?

268
00:24:09.040 --> 00:24:09.880
I think that's true.

269
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:14.440
And I think that one of the issues that Christians have

270
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.800
is that we compartmentalize things.

271
00:24:17.800 --> 00:24:21.200
And we just, in church, we just teach people about God.

272
00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:23.400
If we're gonna talk about,

273
00:24:24.840 --> 00:24:28.840
it's not often like a full balanced picture.

274
00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:30.960
When was the last time that you went to church

275
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.080
and they said, hey, stop eating sugar.

276
00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:34.160
It's not good for you.

277
00:24:36.120 --> 00:24:39.960
But it's probably,

278
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:43.040
so here's what we're gonna look at right now

279
00:24:43.080 --> 00:24:46.880
is the seven sacred elements to balance.

280
00:24:49.800 --> 00:24:53.760
So the first one, the first sacred element to balance

281
00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:56.360
is identity, okay?

282
00:24:56.360 --> 00:24:59.960
So you'll see in the notes that when it comes to identity,

283
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.880
Identity covers spirituality, it covers the spirit,

284
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:07.880
it covers the soul, it covers your psychology.

285
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:09.520
Identity covers all of that.

286
00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:11.440
Actually, in fact, identity,

287
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.880
your understanding of your identity dictates your emotions,

288
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.200
it dictates your feelings, it dictates,

289
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.760
well, actually, your psychology dictates your identity

290
00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:26.760
because your identity is the culmination of your beliefs

291
00:25:26.800 --> 00:25:29.240
in terms of the identity that you're living.

292
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.720
Now, we're doing lots of Q&A and chats

293
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:34.760
around the whole dynamic of your identity, of who you are,

294
00:25:34.760 --> 00:25:37.320
so we'll leave the discussion around that

295
00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:39.920
for those other chats that we're having.

296
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.360
But right now, we just want to say identity,

297
00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:44.280
this covers the spiritual area of your life,

298
00:25:44.280 --> 00:25:46.680
this covers psychology, this covers emotions,

299
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.560
this covers your soul, this covers your feelings,

300
00:25:49.560 --> 00:25:51.960
this covers so much, all right?

301
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:56.160
So identity, really, it's the foundation of everything.

302
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.480
You know that proverb says, guard your heart

303
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.560
because everything you do flows from your heart?

304
00:26:02.560 --> 00:26:06.160
Well, everything in your life is founded on identity.

305
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.360
Everything flows out of your identity.

306
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:14.000
The only thing deeper than your belief of who you are

307
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.600
is your belief of who God is, right?

308
00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:19.080
So your understanding of the image of God,

309
00:26:19.080 --> 00:26:22.600
your image of God is the only belief that's more powerful

310
00:26:22.600 --> 00:26:26.560
than your belief of your identity, okay?

311
00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:31.280
So that's why Jesus was always about revealing the Father,

312
00:26:31.280 --> 00:26:33.680
and that's why I'm always talking about

313
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.800
revealing the Father, and that's why I talk about

314
00:26:35.800 --> 00:26:37.480
Jesus didn't come to change the Father,

315
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.080
but to reveal the Father,

316
00:26:39.080 --> 00:26:43.320
because the single most powerful belief any person has

317
00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:45.520
is their image of God,

318
00:26:45.520 --> 00:26:47.840
and the second most powerful belief you have

319
00:26:47.840 --> 00:26:49.400
is your identity,

320
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:53.160
but your identity is always a parallel

321
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:54.600
of your image of God.

322
00:26:54.600 --> 00:26:56.280
They go hand in hand.

323
00:26:56.280 --> 00:27:00.360
All right, so identity is the first sacred element

324
00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:01.320
to balance.

325
00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:06.400
The second one, and these aren't necessarily

326
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:09.040
in an order of priority.

327
00:27:09.040 --> 00:27:12.680
Identity just happens to be the most foundational one.

328
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:14.800
So these aren't done in an order of priority.

329
00:27:14.800 --> 00:27:16.600
They're just done in, you know,

330
00:27:16.600 --> 00:27:18.360
just how they came out when I wrote them down.

331
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:23.000
The second sacred element to balance is your vision,

332
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:23.840
all right?

333
00:27:23.840 --> 00:27:25.320
Proverbs 29, 18,

334
00:27:25.320 --> 00:27:27.280
without a vision, the people what?

335
00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:29.600
Perish.

336
00:27:29.600 --> 00:27:30.840
Perish, that's right.

337
00:27:30.840 --> 00:27:34.240
A whole lot of perishing going on right now.

338
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.080
Who knows somebody that's living in their wildest dreams?

339
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:43.280
Any of you guys know someone that you're just like,

340
00:27:43.280 --> 00:27:46.480
heck, that person's fully living in their wildest dreams?

341
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:49.040
Benji Alexander?

342
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:52.760
Well, if you thought Benji Alexander was living

343
00:27:52.760 --> 00:27:54.200
in the fruition of his wildest dreams,

344
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:56.680
I'm a million miles away.

345
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:57.520
Okay.

346
00:27:57.520 --> 00:28:00.120
I might know a couple of people in my life

347
00:28:00.120 --> 00:28:02.080
that are close,

348
00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:04.760
but I wouldn't count myself one of them.

349
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:07.440
I'm definitely living in some of it.

350
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:09.840
I'm absolutely loving the process,

351
00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:13.600
but my dreams are so big and glorious and wonderful

352
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:16.520
that they always draw me on.

353
00:28:16.520 --> 00:28:18.200
So I definitely have a big, beautiful,

354
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:20.840
exciting, exhilarating vision,

355
00:28:20.840 --> 00:28:24.280
but I definitely am not living in the fruition of all of it.

356
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:28.200
And here's one little tip for you as well.

357
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:29.920
In your journey,

358
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.640
never measure by perfection,

359
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.360
measure by transformation, okay?

360
00:28:36.360 --> 00:28:38.840
Let me give you two tips that will help you in this process

361
00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:42.200
because people get hung up about not being perfect

362
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.960
or you might compare yourself to someone else.

363
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.040
If you're doing a comparison of yourself,

364
00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:50.680
first thing is that comparison,

365
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:53.320
you have to know that comparison is the thief of joy.

366
00:28:55.520 --> 00:28:56.640
All right, so you have to understand

367
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:58.880
that comparison is the thief of joy

368
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:00.800
because comparison will always try and compare you

369
00:29:00.800 --> 00:29:03.400
to something that's better to make you feel better.

370
00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:06.080
But if you are gonna compare

371
00:29:06.080 --> 00:29:07.880
or if you are gonna look back on your life,

372
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.760
don't measure, or if you're gonna try and measure things,

373
00:29:10.760 --> 00:29:12.880
never measure by perfection,

374
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.640
always measure by transformation.

375
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.280
If you measure yourself by perfection,

376
00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:19.160
you'll always fall short.

377
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:21.280
If you measure yourself by transformation

378
00:29:22.280 --> 00:29:27.000
and you've actually been faithful and stewarding the things,

379
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:29.160
then you'll always feel encouraged.

380
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:31.360
So measure by transformation.

381
00:29:31.360 --> 00:29:33.920
And, but even better is,

382
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:35.440
don't get caught up in comparison

383
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:37.760
because comparison is the thief of joy.

384
00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:40.520
And every season you've got something you could compare to

385
00:29:41.320 --> 00:29:42.160
that will rob your joy.

386
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:43.680
But at the same time, in every season,

387
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:45.520
you've got something you could be grateful for

388
00:29:45.520 --> 00:29:46.920
that will multiply your joy.

389
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:49.760
So comparison is a thief of joy,

390
00:29:49.760 --> 00:29:51.840
but gratitude is a multiplier.

391
00:29:51.840 --> 00:29:53.240
So when it comes to vision,

392
00:29:54.560 --> 00:29:57.200
there's not many people in the world

393
00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:59.760
that have ever...

394
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.000
or are currently living out their wildest dreams.

395
00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:08.840
This is a, like,

396
00:30:08.840 --> 00:30:11.200
this is a terrible, terrible situation

397
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:13.960
that we find ourselves in in life,

398
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:16.800
like just on planet Earth right now,

399
00:30:16.800 --> 00:30:19.280
most people aren't living their dreams

400
00:30:19.280 --> 00:30:23.400
and the culture around living your dreams for most people,

401
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.600
the standard is so low that you can be average

402
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:29.560
and at the same time, terrible.

403
00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:32.240
Does that make sense?

404
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.160
The standard in the world is so low

405
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.200
and the standard in the church

406
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.200
around living your dreams is so low

407
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.560
that to be average is to be terrible.

408
00:30:44.520 --> 00:30:47.080
There you go, I'm doing some comparisons for you.

409
00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:52.400
Which I was just saying, don't do too many comparisons,

410
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:54.880
but it is also good to do reality checks, okay?

411
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:55.720
Because we want to make sure

412
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.920
that we're not living self-justified,

413
00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:59.320
we ought to be living in an illusion.

414
00:30:59.320 --> 00:31:00.480
So we definitely want to make sure

415
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.160
that we're taking extreme ownership.

416
00:31:08.560 --> 00:31:09.400
So Darren's saying,

417
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:10.800
what about when your dream changes?

418
00:31:10.800 --> 00:31:11.640
Yeah, totally.

419
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.160
So your dreams are going to change all the time,

420
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.880
they're going to expand.

421
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:17.760
So just on that one, Darren, I would say,

422
00:31:17.760 --> 00:31:21.000
always set your dreams in jelly, not in concrete, right?

423
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.960
If you set your dreams in concrete,

424
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:24.920
assuming that they're going to be the same tomorrow

425
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:29.320
as they were yesterday, it could be a mistake, right?

426
00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:31.280
So there's a little bit of a balance here

427
00:31:31.280 --> 00:31:33.840
of sometimes things are just difficult

428
00:31:33.840 --> 00:31:36.360
and you've got to hold fast and fight for it.

429
00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:38.080
For a long time, you've got to fight for it.

430
00:31:38.080 --> 00:31:40.640
And then sometimes things genuinely do change

431
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.480
and you have to be flexible when they do change.

432
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:46.200
So, you know, I never thought I would be leaving Te Anau,

433
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:48.040
but God called us to leave Te Anau

434
00:31:48.040 --> 00:31:49.960
and I was like, oh my gosh.

435
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:53.440
So, you know, I had to be flexible with some things,

436
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:55.720
but other things you just hold onto and you fight for.

437
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.400
So it's a balance, you're going to have to journey that out.

438
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.520
So I guess vision is just so majorly,

439
00:32:00.520 --> 00:32:02.840
critically huge and important.

440
00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:05.040
And most people are suffering massively

441
00:32:05.040 --> 00:32:06.240
because they haven't nailed it.

442
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.280
Okay, so it's part of the seven sacred elements to balance.

443
00:32:09.280 --> 00:32:11.360
The next one is relationships.

444
00:32:13.040 --> 00:32:16.960
Who here has felt the pain of a relationship

445
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.520
breaking down so tragically and painfully

446
00:32:20.520 --> 00:32:24.560
all around your life that you're not very functional

447
00:32:24.560 --> 00:32:27.600
because of the pain of a broken relationship?

448
00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:28.680
Yeah?

449
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.040
Ah!

450
00:32:30.040 --> 00:32:31.000
Definitely had that.

451
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.520
Definitely had that in our marriage, right?

452
00:32:33.520 --> 00:32:36.480
When things in our marriage were really, really hard.

453
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.720
Like it gets so overwhelming

454
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.560
that your brain doesn't really function very well.

455
00:32:41.560 --> 00:32:43.920
Nothing else is working because you're like,

456
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:45.880
ah, so much pressure in my marriage.

457
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:46.880
What am I going to do?

458
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:48.800
Feels like everything's going to fall apart.

459
00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:50.400
Ah!

460
00:32:51.280 --> 00:32:53.080
That's not a good place to be in, right?

461
00:32:53.080 --> 00:32:54.400
You know, that causes dysfunction

462
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.480
in every other area of your life

463
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.640
because you're so, you get in survival mode,

464
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.160
everything's just crazy, right?

465
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.760
So relationships is the next one.

466
00:33:02.760 --> 00:33:03.600
Health.

467
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.440
Who's ever been in hospital

468
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.080
or who's ever been fighting for their life?

469
00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:12.560
Who's had a moment where health-wise,

470
00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:16.120
you know, you were about, you were, you know,

471
00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:18.120
you had something really serious.

472
00:33:18.120 --> 00:33:21.000
You were taken off the rugby field in an ambulance

473
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:22.880
after getting a major neck injury.

474
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:25.920
And, you know, everyone's like,

475
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:27.960
oh my gosh, is this a broken neck?

476
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:29.720
What's going to happen here?

477
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:33.480
Overnight in the hospital, fortunately, thank Jesus.

478
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:35.760
No long-term damage.

479
00:33:35.760 --> 00:33:39.200
But we've all had, you know,

480
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:42.280
like varying degrees of health challenges.

481
00:33:42.280 --> 00:33:45.200
And you would have probably heard the saying,

482
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:46.560
your health is your wealth.

483
00:33:49.120 --> 00:33:52.000
You know, a lot of people spend their health

484
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.040
to get their wealth

485
00:33:53.040 --> 00:33:55.680
and then spend their wealth to get their health back.

486
00:33:57.840 --> 00:33:59.680
Spend your health to get your wealth

487
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:00.920
and then you have to spend all your wealth

488
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:02.120
to get your health back.

489
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:06.760
So your health is your wealth.

490
00:34:06.760 --> 00:34:07.920
That's a big deal.

491
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.600
You're not going very far with your dreams

492
00:34:09.600 --> 00:34:10.920
if you're dead, right?

493
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:13.800
Pretty simple stuff there.

494
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.440
Then the next one here, number five,

495
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:18.719
is kingdom economics.

496
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:21.239
If you've got no money, right?

497
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:22.440
Life sucks.

498
00:34:23.520 --> 00:34:27.159
Ecclesiastes, check out this ridiculous verse

499
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.080
that I probably didn't know was in the Bible.

500
00:34:30.080 --> 00:34:33.280
But let me pull this up for you.

501
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:35.800
Ecclesiastes, something crazy that Solomon wrote.

502
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:39.840
I'll just, I'll just grab it for you

503
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:41.800
so I can read it to you straight from the Bible

504
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:44.199
so you're not thinking I'm making it up.

505
00:34:47.080 --> 00:34:48.199
You kind of have to...

506
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:52.560
So this is in Ecclesiastes

507
00:34:52.560 --> 00:34:53.760
if you want to prove it with me,

508
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:55.199
if you want to, you got your Bible

509
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:57.160
and you want to go to Ecclesiastes,

510
00:34:57.160 --> 00:34:59.200
you can find this on Amazon.

511
00:34:59.200 --> 00:35:02.040
If you want to go to Ecclesiastes.com,

512
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.840
this in Ecclesiastes chapter 10 verse 19 this is a little bit wild it says a feast is made for

513
00:35:02.040 --> 00:35:03.720
and you want to read this verse,

514
00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:05.440
you can find it on Amazon.

515
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.880
If you want to go to Ecclesiastes.com,

516
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:17.200
laughter wine makes life merry and money is the answer for everything well who put that in the

517
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:09.880
you can find it on Amazon.

518
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.200
I'll put the link to it in the description.

519
00:35:12.200 --> 00:35:15.000
Also, just to let you know,

520
00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:22.960
bible that's a bit interesting there you go so kingdom importance is at bare minimum really

521
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:31.120
important and then the next one is focus who here has ever been distracted or lost focus

522
00:35:31.120 --> 00:35:37.600
on their goals you realized like a year later or two years later oh yeah that's right i remember

523
00:35:37.600 --> 00:35:42.640
i set a goal a while ago but then i just totally forgot that i even set a goal oh yeah that's

524
00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:47.280
interesting where are my goals i wrote them down but oh yeah i can't remember where they are oh

525
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:57.200
yeah um about that so focus focus is so huge focus is so huge i think i would probably put

526
00:35:57.200 --> 00:36:04.080
focus at the second most important on this list if i if i had to put them on a list of important

527
00:36:04.080 --> 00:36:14.000
things i would put focus at number two and i would put work ethic at number one okay so work ethic

528
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:23.120
we do hard things so what so work ethic on this list work ethic and doing hard things is by far

529
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:31.200
the most important uh element of all the sacred elements to balance and the reason for that is

530
00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:39.360
that work ethic can change all of the others if you've got work ethic you can change anything in

531
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:44.800
your life if you've got no work ethic you can't if you've got work ethic nothing is impossible

532
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:51.600
but without work ethic nothing is possible so uh

533
00:36:55.200 --> 00:36:59.760
some of you will have heard this from one of our earlier sessions i've got a friend david

534
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:04.800
riddell and he he likes to tell people that he's a genius but he likes to tell people

535
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.120
hey you want to know the secret to getting whatever you want

536
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:11.280
and who here wants to know the secret to getting whatever you want

537
00:37:13.040 --> 00:37:16.480
yeah put your hands up if you're like yes i want to know that secret

538
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:24.080
heck yeah well the secret to getting whatever you want is do whatever it takes but you know what

539
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:31.280
uh most people hear that secret and then they just get disappointed oh that's a dumb secret

540
00:37:32.160 --> 00:37:33.360
why because

541
00:37:35.520 --> 00:37:41.440
they don't have whatever it takes they don't have what it takes to do whatever it takes

542
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:49.680
and if we are honest for most of us we will actually have to come take some extreme ownership

543
00:37:49.680 --> 00:37:57.520
of our lives and realize that um so work at work ethic if you break work ethic down

544
00:37:58.160 --> 00:38:05.040
to the most important aspect of work ethic the single most important aspect of work ethic and

545
00:38:05.040 --> 00:38:11.200
the single most important aspect of who you are in balance and the single most important thing

546
00:38:11.200 --> 00:38:18.000
that you can steward in your whole life is willpower right now this is not about striving

547
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:24.000
don't get me wrong this is not about striving you know or trying to do things in your own strength

548
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:32.480
this is self-control willpower is self-control you've not been given a spirit you know uh you've

549
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:42.720
been given a oh trying to remember that verse in time uh timothy but a sound mind there you go

550
00:38:42.720 --> 00:38:46.960
dawn it's on the tip of your tongue why don't you set it unmute and say it out for everyone

551
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:54.240
and self-control for god has not given you a spirit of um a spirit of fear but a power loving

552
00:38:54.240 --> 00:39:00.560
of the sound mind or some say self-control yeah that's right that's beautiful thank you very much

553
00:39:00.560 --> 00:39:11.360
so self-control or willpower listen that that's your sovereignty that that is your you know we

554
00:39:11.600 --> 00:39:12.960
we love talking about free will

555
00:39:15.120 --> 00:39:19.760
but your will your will your ability

556
00:39:21.600 --> 00:39:27.280
to control yourself is your single greatest asset in this world

557
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:35.440
there is not there is no greater asset that you have in this world there's no greater muscle

558
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:40.800
that you have in this life than your ability to control yourself

559
00:39:43.600 --> 00:39:47.920
who agrees with that agree disagree that the single greatest

560
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:53.280
power you have in your life is the is the power to control yourself

561
00:39:54.640 --> 00:39:59.680
and i find this as a parent all the time you know i you know my kids are freaking out doing something

562
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.040
crazy and I'm like hey look I haven't asked you to control anyone else in this situation

563
00:40:05.040 --> 00:40:10.600
except yourself. You're the only person I'm asking you to control in this situation. I'm

564
00:40:10.600 --> 00:40:14.440
not asking you to control your sister, not asking you to control your friends, not asking

565
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:19.320
you to control your parents, I'm just asking you to take control and take ownership and

566
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:32.680
control yourself please. And without self-control, we become our own worst enemy. Because we

567
00:40:32.680 --> 00:40:40.160
give our power away, we give control of ourselves away. If we're not controlling ourselves,

568
00:40:40.160 --> 00:40:48.160
who is? And if you're not controlling yourself, you can, like God's not controlling you, that's

569
00:40:48.160 --> 00:40:52.720
the last thing God wants to do, is control you. That's the first thing that Satan wants

570
00:40:52.720 --> 00:41:02.000
to do, is control you. God is about liberating you and Satan is about enslaving you. So willpower,

571
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:10.200
okay. Now how, the thing is with willpower, the reason that this generation struggles

572
00:41:10.200 --> 00:41:25.400
with willpower is because we avoid pain. Who likes to avoid pain? Yeah? Stop it. Stop

573
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:37.080
it. Stop avoiding pain. Stop avoiding pain. Stop avoiding pain, stop avoiding hard things.

574
00:41:37.240 --> 00:41:41.160
If there's something painful or if there's something scary, if there's something hard,

575
00:41:42.600 --> 00:41:48.360
you have to start training yourself to run into that. And that's why I want the anthem

576
00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:55.400
in the online school of sonship to be, we do hard things. Because it's the most fundamental

577
00:41:57.720 --> 00:42:05.000
practice in your life, the practice of doing hard things, there's nothing that will give you

578
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:11.400
back your power more than practicing doing hard things. There's nothing that will give you back

579
00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:18.760
the ability to take control of your life and redesign every aspect of your life than the

580
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:26.760
practice of hard things. If you want to take back control of your life, which is a non-negotiable,

581
00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:31.400
if you want to redesign your life and if you want to redesign every aspect of your life,

582
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:37.720
you have to take back control of your life. And if you want to step into this level of intimacy

583
00:42:37.720 --> 00:42:41.960
that you're dreaming for, which is what we're going after, that's the whole purpose of this 12

584
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:49.800
weeks. If you want to step into that place, you must take control of yourself like never before.

585
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:54.680
But the only way we're going to build that strength into ourselves is by doing hard things.

586
00:42:55.640 --> 00:43:02.280
How many hard things? As many as possible. How hard? As hard as possible. And this is something

587
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:07.640
beautiful that we see about Jesus is, oh I see Beth saying here, no pain, no gain.

588
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:16.200
Yeah, so this is something beautiful about Jesus is that Jesus didn't avoid hard things, right?

589
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:22.440
Jesus had hard conversations with the Pharisees. Jesus didn't avoid awkward conversations.

590
00:43:25.640 --> 00:43:31.720
There he is. He starts awkward conversations. Can you imagine? It would have been so awkward. He's

591
00:43:31.720 --> 00:43:37.960
33, right? Which is a young fella. He's a young fella in front of all these bearded old school

592
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:44.120
rabbis and Pharisees and all these people who are supposed to know way better than him. And there he

593
00:43:44.120 --> 00:43:49.960
is just laying down how it is. He's like, no actually guys, I just like to tell you that

594
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:56.760
the entire country is wrong, okay? And on the truth, that's a hard conversation to have. Let's

595
00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:00.520
tell the whole country they're completely wrong. Everything they thought about God is completely

596
00:44:00.520 --> 00:44:05.560
wrong. Their whole culture is based on a lie. Like I was going to tell you some stuff, right? You

597
00:44:05.560 --> 00:44:13.960
guys, you are so lost. It's sad. He didn't avoid hard things. The cross, right? Wow, the cross.

598
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:19.320
That's some pretty hard stuff right there. Did he avoid it? He did say, Father, you know, if

599
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:25.640
there's another way, let's do that. And I've been happy to pray that sometimes. I'm like, God,

600
00:44:25.640 --> 00:44:30.920
you know, if there's an easy way, I'll take it. But if there's not an easy way, let's do it. Let's

601
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:37.160
do the hard things. And so that was Jesus. He's like, hey, if there's an easy way, it sounds

602
00:44:37.160 --> 00:44:41.960
awesome. But never mind. If there's not, I'm pretty sure there's not. Let's just do the hard things.

603
00:44:42.040 --> 00:44:54.680
OK, so. Righto, I'm bringing this down to because we now have to get practical with this

604
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:59.880
about starting to do some hard things. OK, who likes the idea of doing?

605
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:08.680
hard things. Yes, we're quite tentatively like it sounds good, but it feels painful.

606
00:45:08.680 --> 00:45:14.600
I'm a little bit shy about whether I want to say yes, the idea is good, but I'm not

607
00:45:14.600 --> 00:45:21.000
sure I trust this guy. He looks a bit weird. And he does some crazy stuff. And he has some

608
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:26.360
funny ideas. And I'm not really sure if I like the idea of doing hard things or not.

609
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:32.840
Is this too good to be true? Or is this just crazy stuff? Let's feel free to be honest, I am.

610
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:41.560
So the seven sacred elements to balance, just a quick recap on that. We've got identity,

611
00:45:41.560 --> 00:45:49.560
vision, relationships, health, kingdom economics, focus, and work ethic. All right, so the single

612
00:45:49.560 --> 00:45:55.080
most influential one of those, you might think it's your identity, right? Well, that's really,

613
00:45:55.080 --> 00:45:59.720
really influential. But if you've got your identity down, but you've got no self-control,

614
00:46:00.680 --> 00:46:04.680
it's not going to work out. I mean, you can't even step into your identity if you don't develop

615
00:46:04.680 --> 00:46:09.640
willpower. And I guess it's really important to highlight to people as well is that this is not

616
00:46:09.640 --> 00:46:16.280
about striving. This is not about being in the flesh. This is about self-control. This is about

617
00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:23.080
stewarding your own sovereignty. This is your sovereignty, your willpower, your self-control.

618
00:46:23.080 --> 00:46:32.760
That's one of the greatest gifts that God gave you. All right, so yeah, so that's key.

619
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.080
Then the next thing, and I want to highlight this is focus, okay? And that's why being in this group

620
00:46:37.080 --> 00:46:42.280
is really, really powerful, because how many people do you know in your life that come up

621
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:46.200
to you in your face and say, excuse me, have you been focusing on your vision today?

622
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:49.000
How many times have you focused on your vision today?

623
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:57.880
The problem is most people are so insecure and so average that they wouldn't dare challenge

624
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:06.360
anyone else on being exceptional. But what we want here is I want to challenge you to be exceptional.

625
00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:14.600
And you can't be exceptional if you don't master focus multiple times a day.

626
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:26.120
All right, you have to master focus. So after willpower, it's focus. And what are you going

627
00:47:26.120 --> 00:47:30.280
to focus on? You're going to focus on the next thing I would say. If we are putting this on the

628
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:36.200
list, I would say the next most important thing is your vision, your willpower, your focus. Because

629
00:47:36.200 --> 00:47:42.040
if you lose your focus, you will start wandering. And people are wandering all the time. And then

630
00:47:42.040 --> 00:47:46.280
the next thing I would say is your vision, because your vision is directing you where you're

631
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:51.720
wanting, where you need to go, where you have to go. After that, I would put identity, because

632
00:47:51.720 --> 00:47:56.760
there's no, like, you've got to master your identity. You want to step into that identity,

633
00:47:56.760 --> 00:48:02.920
that intimacy, all that dynamic in order to really live out, you know, who you're created to be.

634
00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:08.840
And then I'd probably put the other ones of health, relationships, money on the same

635
00:48:09.560 --> 00:48:15.160
tier. Health, wealth, and relationships on the same tier. They're all critical.

636
00:48:18.120 --> 00:48:23.640
I don't know. I mean, I'd probably put money actually maybe just below health and relationships.

637
00:48:23.640 --> 00:48:27.480
Maybe put money. I'd probably put money just below. I'd probably put money as the last thing there.

638
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:33.320
But even though it would be the last thing, it's still insanely important.

639
00:48:33.560 --> 00:48:39.400
Okay. So what we understand is that if we want to thrive in one area, we have to thrive in all

640
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:45.160
areas. If we want to take really, if we want to be set up for exponential growth, we can't be living

641
00:48:45.160 --> 00:48:50.920
in dysfunction in one area of our lives. Okay. If we've got dysfunction and chaos happening in one

642
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:55.880
area of our lives, it's going to hold us back in all the other areas of our lives. But if we're

643
00:48:56.200 --> 00:49:01.560
going to be, if we're thriving in an area of our life, it's going to put momentum into all the

644
00:49:01.560 --> 00:49:08.920
other areas. Agree? Yeah. Okay. So we boil all that down. And what it means is if you want to

645
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:13.160
lay the foundation for exponential growth in your life, you've got to start doing hard things.

646
00:49:13.720 --> 00:49:18.280
Yeah. But you don't want to do random. You don't want them to be random. You want them to be

647
00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:26.760
focused and intentional and smart and systematic hard things on a daily basis that are going to

648
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:34.760
produce, uh, they're going to, they're going to produce fruit and all the seven sacred areas of

649
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:41.640
your life. So let me prescribe to you. This is, this is me giving you the prescription of hard

650
00:49:42.520 --> 00:49:49.000
things for the next 10 weeks that will produce exponential, exponential growth. Okay. So I'm

651
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:53.800
like a coach or a doctor right now. And my prescription for you to get what you,

652
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:57.960
to get whatever you want, you come to me and ask, how do you get what you want?

653
00:49:57.960 --> 00:49:59.960
And I'll tell you what, I'll tell you how to get what you want.

654
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.200
How do I get whatever I want? Here's the prescription. The prescription is do hard

655
00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:10.160
things every single day for the next 10 weeks, but don't do random hard things,

656
00:50:10.160 --> 00:50:19.920
do specific hard things. Take precision actions with precision timing for precision results.

657
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:26.880
Precision actions with precision timing for precision results. Okay, so here we go.

658
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:35.840
Let's go down to the hard things, all right? The daily hard things challenge. I've written it

659
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:40.800
slightly wrong there. It says on the handout, it says here's the hard things daily challenge.

660
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:45.760
Let's just call it the daily hard things challenge, okay? So we've got

661
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:57.920
11 daily challenges. We should make it 12. 12 is a better number, right? We'll add one more.

662
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:04.080
Okay, so obviously I don't want you to be overwhelmed. I want this to be achievable,

663
00:51:04.080 --> 00:51:08.640
all right? That's one of the first things about smart goals. Smart goals are specific, measurable,

664
00:51:08.640 --> 00:51:14.480
attainable, realistic, and time-bound. So we want this to be attainable, realistic for you.

665
00:51:15.040 --> 00:51:20.160
So the first thing that we've got, now this is the baseline, okay? This is the baseline

666
00:51:20.160 --> 00:51:25.840
hard things. If you want to do more than this, you can do more, but this is our baseline, okay?

667
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:31.680
So for the next 10 weeks, if you will do this for the next 10 weeks,

668
00:51:31.680 --> 00:51:35.680
you will experience exponential growth, guaranteed.

669
00:51:35.680 --> 00:51:47.360
Now, this is why I got people to draw their picture, okay? I got people to draw their

670
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:52.400
picture because you have to have a why. You have to see the significance because I'm now telling

671
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:56.320
you to do hard things. I'm telling you to harden up. I'm telling you you've been a bit soft.

672
00:51:56.320 --> 00:52:00.880
I'm telling you it's time to lift up the intensity. I'm telling you that you've been distracted. I'm

673
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:07.280
telling you all sorts of challenging in-your-face things right now. If you read behind the lines,

674
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:10.880
I'm saying them in a positive light, but if you look at the other side of the coin, I'm saying,

675
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:16.160
hey, you've probably been too distracted. If I'm saying there's room for more focus,

676
00:52:16.160 --> 00:52:19.280
the flip side of that is, hey, you've probably been distracted a little bit.

677
00:52:20.080 --> 00:52:24.320
If I'm saying there's, you know, we need to do hard things to develop our willpower,

678
00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:28.080
the flip side of that is saying, hey, we've been a little bit soft. Now, I'm going to be doing

679
00:52:28.080 --> 00:52:32.720
these too. This is not me saying, hey, you need to do this, you, you, you. This is like, yeah,

680
00:52:32.720 --> 00:52:38.320
I'm prescribing this to myself as well. I'm going to be doing this with you. I do most of these

681
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:48.000
things every day anyway. Pretty much most of these things I do every day anyway and more,

682
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:53.600
but this is like a baseline for us. This is a baseline. This is like boot camp. This is

683
00:52:53.600 --> 00:53:00.720
beginner entry level to start building willpower and start thriving in the seven sacred elements

684
00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:07.760
of balance in our lives. So, I got you to draw the picture of intimacy, your greatest picture

685
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:13.680
of what intimacy could look like because it, oh, so yes, Dawn's asking where is the list. It's in

686
00:53:13.680 --> 00:53:20.560
the handout there. If you haven't seen it, it's in the chat here. I can drop it in here. Oh, not that.

687
00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:32.160
If you want me to drop it in the, did you find it? I'll just grab it for you again.

688
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:43.280
Okay, just if you haven't seen it, I'm just dropping it in the chat again for people here.

689
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:48.000
If you're watching on Facebook, it's in the description of the video. You can grab that.

690
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:55.360
It's got the list there. We may add one more to it in the future, but for now, there it is.

691
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:02.960
I wanted you to draw that picture because you have to have something to focus on when things

692
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:09.760
get hard, okay? And I want you to ask, if things start getting harder, if you look at this and you

693
00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:16.560
think, oh, it's too hard, I want you to ask yourself, what would you be willing to pay

694
00:54:17.520 --> 00:54:23.200
to experience your greatest expression, your greatest dreams for intimacy?

695
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:25.520
What price would you be willing to pay?

696
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:32.400
What would it be worth? What would you be willing to do

697
00:54:34.080 --> 00:54:38.160
to step into your greatest dreams, your wildest dreams of intimacy?

698
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.280
Let me put it like this. Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine yourself in the future.

699
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:48.720
Michelle, we're going to talk about what it means to practice your trigger in a minute. That's

700
00:54:48.720 --> 00:54:56.800
a little secret code there. So close your eyes. Imagine you're with Jesus. You're looking back

701
00:54:56.800 --> 00:54:59.600
over your life and

702
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.040
and you and Jesus now Jesus is having more real honest conversations with you than you're willing

703
00:55:05.040 --> 00:55:10.720
to even have with yourself he's cutting right to the heart and you look back over your life

704
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:20.080
and you realize that you stepped into the fullness of your wildest dreams of intimacy with him you

705
00:55:20.080 --> 00:55:26.640
lived that you went beyond what you thought was possible and you lived that and the fruit of that

706
00:55:26.640 --> 00:55:34.400
impacted countless lives around the world i just want you to just to imagine the level of joy that

707
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:41.920
you feel in that moment on a scale of 1 to 10 how much joy do you feel in that moment

708
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:50.640
drop it down in the comments on facebook or in the chat here on a 1 to 10 scale or

709
00:55:50.640 --> 00:55:55.520
shout it out feel free to shout it out on a 1 to 10 scale how much joy are you feeling

710
00:55:55.520 --> 00:55:58.960
in that moment i see people saying off the scale

711
00:56:01.680 --> 00:56:06.480
okay let's flip it let's flip it right now and let's take some extreme ownership go back right

712
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:11.120
back into that same moment with Jesus so close your eyes again go right back into that moment

713
00:56:11.120 --> 00:56:12.960
that exact same moment with Jesus

714
00:56:15.600 --> 00:56:23.760
there you are with Jesus looking back over your life and you're having a hard conversation now

715
00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:32.160
as you realize that you never stepped into the intimacy that he had for you

716
00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:40.000
and and as you have that conversation he highlights to you the fact that the reason

717
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:43.600
that you never did that is you weren't willing to do hard things

718
00:56:46.160 --> 00:56:48.880
you weren't willing to take extreme ownership for your own

719
00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:56.400
life you weren't willing to take extreme ownership for how you lived on a daily basis

720
00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:02.000
he said because you avoided pain because you avoided hard things you never had the willpower

721
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:07.840
to do whatever it would take to live in this and the result is that all the people's lives

722
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:12.480
that could have been impacted were never impacted the level of joy that you could have experienced

723
00:57:13.040 --> 00:57:17.360
you never experienced the relationship and the walk with me that you could have experienced

724
00:57:18.080 --> 00:57:21.600
you never experienced because you weren't willing to do hard things

725
00:57:23.600 --> 00:57:27.760
okay right now step out of that you don't want to think about that too much okay

726
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:33.520
so snap out of that come back here and i want you to ask i want to ask you how painful is that

727
00:57:33.520 --> 00:57:40.000
on a one to ten scale how much pain would you feel in that moment if you lived that reality

728
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:50.480
right for me that's like an unbearable feeling that's that's crazy level of pain

729
00:57:53.360 --> 00:58:00.560
so what i want you to let a moment that i want us to come face to face with right now is that

730
00:58:01.600 --> 00:58:07.680
it's impossible to avoid hard things if you think you can avoid hard things you've you've

731
00:58:07.680 --> 00:58:08.720
lied to yourself

732
00:58:11.120 --> 00:58:16.080
right you just have to choose which hard you want do you want to pay the price

733
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:19.920
of doing the hard things that will give you your wildest dreams

734
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:25.840
or do you want to pay the price and experience the pain of regret because you never did it

735
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:34.160
there's only there's only two options right and the option that most people are taking

736
00:58:34.160 --> 00:58:39.360
right now and most of your christian friends are taking right now is the second option where

737
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:42.960
they're not willing to do the hard things and they're going to pay the price of regret later

738
00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:50.160
on because they've allowed the normal of our culture to set their normal and the norm of

739
00:58:50.160 --> 00:58:56.960
our culture is so low that if you are even above average in church you'll never walk in your destiny

740
00:58:59.600 --> 00:59:02.800
you've got to take you've got to take this to a whole new level

741
00:59:04.160 --> 00:59:09.040
because there's so people few people in the world that are actually living their dreams

742
00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:14.160
that if you do what everyone else is doing you're going to get what everyone else is getting

743
00:59:14.160 --> 00:59:19.280
which is a substandard existence so who's a little bit inspired to do

744
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:22.960
some hard things now rather than have a dumb hard conversation with jesus and affinity

745
00:59:26.720 --> 00:59:31.120
yay well this is the most uninspiring inspirational message i've ever heard

746
00:59:34.160 --> 00:59:40.640
let's do hard things that's right what a beautiful prophecy hey jesus has a

747
00:59:40.640 --> 00:59:45.600
funny prophecy for us is like in this life you will experience tribulation

748
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:51.760
what no one wants to talk about that prophecy oh that's a nice encouraging word jesus no

749
00:59:52.720 --> 00:59:57.280
not really but it is something that he said there's going to be hard things you can't avoid

750
00:59:57.280 --> 00:59:59.760
it you just got to choose your heart which heart do you want

751
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.000
the heart of doing whatever it takes,

752
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:03.840
the heart of doing hard things,

753
01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:05.720
or the heart of regret

754
01:00:05.720 --> 01:00:07.280
because you never did the hard things

755
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:09.560
you needed to do to live your wildest dreams.

756
01:00:09.560 --> 01:00:11.640
So you're going to choose your heart.

757
01:00:13.640 --> 01:00:16.640
OK, so here's us choosing our heart

758
01:00:16.640 --> 01:00:19.640
with our baseline,

759
01:00:20.440 --> 01:00:22.800
our daily hard things challenge.

760
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:23.440
All right.

761
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:26.440
So first thing on the daily hard things challenge.

762
01:00:27.560 --> 01:00:29.160
This is it. Bring in the pain.

763
01:00:29.160 --> 01:00:32.240
Is now I want you to just say

764
01:00:33.200 --> 01:00:34.680
I want you to react to this

765
01:00:34.680 --> 01:00:37.640
in the comments here or in the chat or somewhere.

766
01:00:37.640 --> 01:00:39.000
I want you to react to this and say

767
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:41.320
whether you think it's possible or not possible. OK.

768
01:00:42.720 --> 01:00:43.640
So let me know.

769
01:00:43.640 --> 01:00:46.360
Say possible or not possible.

770
01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:48.000
So the first one is five minutes

771
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:50.400
of praying in the Holy Spirit every day.

772
01:00:52.200 --> 01:00:54.680
Possible or not possible.

773
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:57.080
Yeah, possible.

774
01:00:57.080 --> 01:00:58.880
Feel free to unmute and check this through.

775
01:00:59.640 --> 01:01:01.640
You can be chatty in this.

776
01:01:01.640 --> 01:01:05.160
So five minutes of focus, praying in the Holy Spirit every day.

777
01:01:05.160 --> 01:01:06.760
Possible or not possible.

778
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:08.600
Yeah, possible. Absolutely.

779
01:01:08.600 --> 01:01:10.600
Possible. OK.

780
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:14.480
Seven daily decrees.

781
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:16.240
Now, let me explain that

782
01:01:16.240 --> 01:01:18.320
because I intentionally didn't explain it here in the notes.

783
01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:22.800
Seven daily decrees is something that I want you to take some time

784
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:26.080
to actually create for yourself.

785
01:01:26.080 --> 01:01:28.640
So I'd like you to create one decree

786
01:01:29.120 --> 01:01:33.360
for each of the seven sacred elements of balance.

787
01:01:34.080 --> 01:01:36.680
OK, so I want you to craft and it can be a sentence

788
01:01:36.680 --> 01:01:39.560
that can be as short or as long as you like.

789
01:01:39.560 --> 01:01:40.040
All right.

790
01:01:40.040 --> 01:01:43.680
But it's something that is heartfelt for you, and it's something

791
01:01:43.680 --> 01:01:46.120
that it should be decreeing

792
01:01:47.560 --> 01:01:49.560
your vision.

793
01:01:50.040 --> 01:01:50.880
Should be.

794
01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:54.000
So the essence of the daily decree is that it should capture

795
01:01:54.160 --> 01:01:56.360
your vision for that area of your life.

796
01:01:57.200 --> 01:01:58.600
OK, so identity.

797
01:01:58.600 --> 01:02:00.480
So a daily decree around identity.

798
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:01.120
What does that look like?

799
01:02:01.120 --> 01:02:03.240
So listen, I've got mine right here.

800
01:02:04.600 --> 01:02:05.960
No one has to check up on me.

801
01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:08.000
Benji, you're doing your daily decrees.

802
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:10.880
I don't necessarily get these done every day, but I will be doing them

803
01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:13.080
every day now because I've been challenging you to do these.

804
01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:15.800
So but every day I'm thinking about these.

805
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:17.280
I'm meditating on these in some way.

806
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:21.240
I've got I've got stuff everywhere that helps me stay

807
01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:24.360
focused on my vision.

808
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:26.520
OK, so I've got to have this in front of me.

809
01:02:26.520 --> 01:02:28.320
This this is always in front of me.

810
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:29.640
I've got it.

811
01:02:29.640 --> 01:02:32.360
I've you know, I've recorded that onto my phone.

812
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:35.480
So sometimes I'll do a workout, go for a run or something,

813
01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:39.680
and I'll be listening to my daily decrees while I'm out going for a run.

814
01:02:41.720 --> 01:02:43.880
You know, I've got them on the other side of the whiteboard.

815
01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:45.440
I've got a bunch of them written down.

816
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:49.200
I've got pictures in that side of the whiteboard as well as as pictures of it.

817
01:02:49.200 --> 01:02:51.280
So it's like it's in my face what it looks like.

818
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:52.160
I'm seeing it all the time.

819
01:02:52.160 --> 01:02:54.800
I go, wow, this is what it looks like. OK.

820
01:02:56.280 --> 01:02:59.280
So the seven daily decrees,

821
01:02:59.640 --> 01:03:03.320
they've got to capture an aspect of your best case scenario

822
01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:05.560
with wildest dreams for that area of your life.

823
01:03:05.560 --> 01:03:07.880
OK, so we've got identity.

824
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:10.680
So you can structure a declaration around identity.

825
01:03:10.720 --> 01:03:13.640
What do you want in the area of intimacy, identity, all of those things?

826
01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:15.800
Vision. What do you want for the future?

827
01:03:15.800 --> 01:03:18.200
So just a declaration around that.

828
01:03:18.200 --> 01:03:21.960
Relationships, health, kingdom, economics, focus, work ethic.

829
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:24.960
Structure one decree around that.

830
01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:26.280
So that's some homework for you.

831
01:03:26.280 --> 01:03:28.840
OK, so you've got to write your seven daily decrees.

832
01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:33.560
So homework I've given so far on this challenge is to draw a picture.

833
01:03:34.160 --> 01:03:36.840
The next bit of homework that I've given you is to do to

834
01:03:37.920 --> 01:03:39.480
write out these seven daily decrees.

835
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:42.760
Now, if you want to start on this now, you can.

836
01:03:43.120 --> 01:03:46.160
But our official start date

837
01:03:46.160 --> 01:03:47.280
is not going to be.

838
01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:50.320
I'm going to give you a week to write these daily decrees, OK?

839
01:03:52.120 --> 01:03:54.280
Seven daily decrees, I'm going to give you a week.

840
01:03:54.360 --> 01:03:57.680
So I will be to start this next week.

841
01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:01.800
I've started it, you know, already, like I said, most of those things

842
01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:05.960
are things I do every day already, at least that. So.

843
01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:09.760
Any questions on daily decrees, does that make sense?

844
01:04:10.360 --> 01:04:12.040
No, that makes sense.

845
01:04:12.040 --> 01:04:13.400
OK, right.

846
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:15.320
Let's assume that we've written them.

847
01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:18.200
Is that possible or not possible?

848
01:04:18.200 --> 01:04:19.920
Possible. Possible.

849
01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:22.000
Possible. OK. Possible.

850
01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:25.880
All right. The next one is read one chapter of the Bible a day.

851
01:04:26.520 --> 01:04:29.440
And what we want to do with that is we want to be reading

852
01:04:30.120 --> 01:04:31.720
the same chapter.

853
01:04:31.720 --> 01:04:34.320
So I want to start with the Book of John next week,

854
01:04:35.040 --> 01:04:38.480
and I want to read the same chapter each day

855
01:04:39.160 --> 01:04:40.920
so that we're all kind of flying through.

856
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:44.800
It's really fun reading the Bible together with a group of people.

857
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:46.760
OK, so each day to be like, oh, yeah, sweet.

858
01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:48.760
We're on John 20. This is I love this.

859
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:52.760
And we could be chatting about, oh, my gosh, John 17 every time.

860
01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:57.280
Sweet. So.

861
01:04:57.280 --> 01:04:59.840
Possible or not possible. Yeah.

862
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:10.720
possible okay um the next one is the verse of the day so just record in your journal

863
01:05:11.600 --> 01:05:13.280
the verse that stood out to you the most

864
01:05:17.520 --> 01:05:21.520
so you're reading the bible you read one chapter and it's like wow that verse there

865
01:05:21.520 --> 01:05:24.480
stood out the most and you just write that one verse down in your journal

866
01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:32.480
okay and then while you've got it out you write down the three things that you're most grateful

867
01:05:32.480 --> 01:05:43.120
for in your journal okay um writing down one verse a day is that possible or not possible

868
01:05:43.680 --> 01:05:50.560
possible possible what about recording three things that you were grateful for in your journal

869
01:05:50.560 --> 01:05:54.960
the top three things you're grateful for possible or not possible yeah possible

870
01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:59.600
okay the next one excuse me i have to take a moment

871
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:16.800
pretty much empty mostly empty had a little bit more left in there than i thought but

872
01:06:17.120 --> 01:06:23.600
um so the next one is drink three liters of water a day yeah

873
01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:32.080
does that sound difficult yeah yes possible or not possible possible

874
01:06:37.040 --> 01:06:42.880
is that i have an exceptionally small bladder it's almost a scientific phenomenon

875
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:50.000
that's it um so i know what some of you will be thinking three liters of water a day you must

876
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:54.640
pee a lot uh look i pee a lot even if i'm dehydrated that's how small my bladder is

877
01:06:56.160 --> 01:07:07.680
um but um three liters of water a day is awesome for you and the easiest way to do three liters

878
01:07:07.680 --> 01:07:13.760
of water a day is to get a one liter drink bottle yeah and you only need to drink it three

879
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:20.480
times it's actually not difficult once you start practicing that but if you probably it's a it's

880
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:29.040
a real big oh look at that what do you jump on the attending yeah i drink two of these a day

881
01:07:29.040 --> 01:07:35.360
so this bottle goes everywhere with me so i know if i filled it twice i've had my water for the day

882
01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:43.120
brilliant 1.5 liter drink it twice you'll be surprised at actually how easy it is to drink

883
01:07:43.120 --> 01:07:47.280
three liters of water a day if you've got a mindset that says that's impossible then you're

884
01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:52.480
probably like i was a little while ago oh that sounds pretty crazy i will tell you as well

885
01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:58.400
something that really helped me um change that is change your water change your life i sell

886
01:07:59.040 --> 01:08:09.200
water machines so um selling water machines is a great way to uh drink more water because you've

887
01:08:09.200 --> 01:08:15.120
got amazing water so i will at some point drop a link down so you guys can check out water machines

888
01:08:15.120 --> 01:08:21.520
if you want to um if you sell water machines what ends up happening is inevitably you start

889
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:26.880
studying water a little bit and start realizing how important water is and the company that i

890
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:33.279
sell on behalf of i just here's the thing that i um i've figured out that nearly anything that

891
01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:38.960
you want you can be an affiliate for nowadays right so i've got an expensive water machine

892
01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:43.600
they cost thousands of dollars but it's made me 10 times more than what it cost me

893
01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:55.200
and so what i have come to realize you know in the help like who you know who thinks that

894
01:08:55.200 --> 01:09:01.279
supplements are expensive right supplements all the health stuff that you want that stuff's

895
01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:06.399
expensive but the cool thing about it is that nearly everything that you want that's too

896
01:09:06.399 --> 01:09:12.880
expensive if you research a little bit you can sell those products and make money instead of

897
01:09:14.240 --> 01:09:19.120
um it actually costing you to be healthy so actually make money from being healthy kind of

898
01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:31.840
cool right um so yeah so i mean a lot of it's network marketing uh but there's some genius to

899
01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:36.240
it as well like you can do so i'm not i'm not trying to coach you in on this but we are going

900
01:09:36.240 --> 01:09:41.920
to talk here about being a genius with money so one of the reasons why most people don't do health

901
01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:46.800
stuff is because it's too expensive but if you actually do a little bit of research you can

902
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:54.400
actually figure out how to make money from being healthy that would be better right you know who

903
01:09:54.400 --> 01:09:59.840
would like to instead of being healthy costing them money who would like it if

904
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:01.600
being healthy made them money.

905
01:10:02.480 --> 01:10:04.920
Yeah, so that's what I'm suggesting to you

906
01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:07.140
about the dynamic of,

907
01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:12.360
you can, if you're a little bit creative with this

908
01:10:12.360 --> 01:10:15.080
and the whole area of nutrition and things like that,

909
01:10:15.080 --> 01:10:17.960
I'm at the moment, I'm kind of, I'm in that space now.

910
01:10:17.960 --> 01:10:20.720
I've already got some supplements that I take,

911
01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:23.520
but I'm about to, I really want to commit to something

912
01:10:23.520 --> 01:10:26.600
that I've become an affiliate for and I start selling

913
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:30.200
because, so I'm kind of researching that space

914
01:10:30.200 --> 01:10:31.240
at the moment because I'm like, yeah,

915
01:10:31.240 --> 01:10:33.440
I want to kind of take my supplements

916
01:10:33.440 --> 01:10:36.620
and that to another level.

917
01:10:36.620 --> 01:10:39.160
So instead of like just going out and buying it,

918
01:10:39.160 --> 01:10:43.160
what I'm looking at is what I think is the best one

919
01:10:43.160 --> 01:10:47.000
and also what I think is going to make me more money

920
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:48.000
than it costs me.

921
01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:50.720
Good idea, right?

922
01:10:50.720 --> 01:10:52.720
So just chucking that out there,

923
01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:54.440
it doesn't have to be expensive.

924
01:10:54.440 --> 01:10:57.560
So three liters, drinking three liters of water a day,

925
01:10:57.560 --> 01:10:59.680
possible or not possible?

926
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:00.520
Possible.

927
01:11:02.400 --> 01:11:03.440
Benji?

928
01:11:03.440 --> 01:11:04.920
Yes.

929
01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:07.320
Like when you drink, let's just say I, you know,

930
01:11:07.320 --> 01:11:11.600
I were to drink four cups of herbal tea,

931
01:11:12.480 --> 01:11:15.240
would that be, would the water have to be over

932
01:11:15.240 --> 01:11:16.760
and above that or?

933
01:11:19.680 --> 01:11:22.520
Well, I've never really, I tell you what I do

934
01:11:22.520 --> 01:11:24.880
is I drink my herbal tea on top, actually.

935
01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:27.520
It's usually how Alana and I wrap up the day

936
01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:32.520
is we have a nice little herbal tea and watch some telly.

937
01:11:32.520 --> 01:11:35.120
And if I feel like I've done enough,

938
01:11:35.120 --> 01:11:36.800
I might have a little bit of chocolate there as well,

939
01:11:36.800 --> 01:11:40.880
but it's usually like a not very sugary chocolate.

940
01:11:42.280 --> 01:11:45.480
So that's kind of, I would probably just recommend

941
01:11:45.480 --> 01:11:49.160
do three liters of water and then do everything else on top.

942
01:11:49.160 --> 01:11:51.720
It's more of a mindset thing than a physical thing

943
01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:53.320
that makes it difficult.

944
01:11:53.320 --> 01:11:57.400
But here's the thing is that when your body is benefiting,

945
01:11:57.400 --> 01:11:58.880
everything is benefiting.

946
01:12:01.280 --> 01:12:04.120
Okay, next one.

947
01:12:04.120 --> 01:12:07.440
Move your body for at least five minutes a day.

948
01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:10.560
Possible or not possible?

949
01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:12.240
Possible.

950
01:12:12.240 --> 01:12:13.600
Possible.

951
01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:16.440
Yeah, so intentionally move your body,

952
01:12:16.440 --> 01:12:19.360
do something with your body, do some type of,

953
01:12:20.360 --> 01:12:23.680
it could be something real small, just go for a walk.

954
01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:28.680
Okay, it could be just something real simple, real small.

955
01:12:31.320 --> 01:12:35.080
Right, but for at least five minutes a day,

956
01:12:35.080 --> 01:12:37.760
do something with your body, move your body,

957
01:12:37.760 --> 01:12:39.520
get your body moving around.

958
01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:41.440
And then if you wanna take it to another level,

959
01:12:41.440 --> 01:12:44.280
actually do some actual proper exercise, okay?

960
01:12:44.280 --> 01:12:47.640
Not pushing that right now, but I'm saying move your body

961
01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:49.320
for at least five minutes a day.

962
01:12:49.320 --> 01:12:51.240
What I am thinking of doing is that in the future,

963
01:12:51.240 --> 01:12:53.920
I might do a giant slayers challenge

964
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:56.680
where we take this to a whole new level.

965
01:12:56.680 --> 01:12:58.160
Now, is there anyone here

966
01:12:58.160 --> 01:13:00.360
that hates the idea of losing weight?

967
01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:03.120
No, I want that.

968
01:13:05.440 --> 01:13:08.320
Now, maybe if you're already like real skinny,

969
01:13:08.320 --> 01:13:10.440
you might be like, ah, that sounds terrible.

970
01:13:10.440 --> 01:13:13.840
But was there anyone here that doesn't like the idea

971
01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:17.120
of being healthier or fitter?

972
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:21.520
So everyone likes the idea of being fitter and healthier?

973
01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:22.840
Mm-hmm, yep.

974
01:13:22.840 --> 01:13:23.680
Yeah?

975
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:24.520
Yep.

976
01:13:24.520 --> 01:13:25.840
No, but people are like,

977
01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:27.960
mm, but when it comes to actually what it's gonna take,

978
01:13:27.960 --> 01:13:29.120
I don't know if I like that.

979
01:13:29.120 --> 01:13:30.360
Who likes the hard things

980
01:13:30.360 --> 01:13:32.480
about getting healthier and fitter?

981
01:13:32.480 --> 01:13:33.320
Yep.

982
01:13:33.320 --> 01:13:37.040
Oh, not that many people like the hard things, right?

983
01:13:37.040 --> 01:13:39.360
That's where, that starts getting a bit personal,

984
01:13:39.360 --> 01:13:40.360
starts getting a bit in your face,

985
01:13:40.360 --> 01:13:42.120
starts getting into a bit sacred cows,

986
01:13:42.120 --> 01:13:44.840
and I'm like, actually, stop eating that, right?

987
01:13:44.840 --> 01:13:46.000
It's wrecking your life.

988
01:13:46.040 --> 01:13:48.240
So this brings us to the next one.

989
01:13:48.240 --> 01:13:50.760
Eat something awesome every day.

990
01:13:52.600 --> 01:13:53.800
Eat something awesome.

991
01:13:54.720 --> 01:13:56.600
Now, I didn't put it in here,

992
01:13:56.600 --> 01:13:59.680
but I would recommend that you start reducing

993
01:13:59.680 --> 01:14:01.480
your sugar intake.

994
01:14:01.480 --> 01:14:04.800
Who drinks Coke or Pepsi,

995
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:09.800
or you have a drink like that every now and then?

996
01:14:10.280 --> 01:14:11.120
Yep.

997
01:14:11.120 --> 01:14:11.960
Yep.

998
01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:12.800
Yep.

999
01:14:12.800 --> 01:14:13.640
Yep.

1000
01:14:14.040 --> 01:14:15.440
Yep.

1001
01:14:15.440 --> 01:14:16.280
Yep.

1002
01:14:17.400 --> 01:14:18.240
It's killing you.

1003
01:14:18.240 --> 01:14:19.080
It's no good for you.

1004
01:14:19.080 --> 01:14:22.200
I used to, my wife had a conversation with me once,

1005
01:14:22.200 --> 01:14:23.360
because I used to always make sure

1006
01:14:23.360 --> 01:14:26.120
that we had something like that in the fridge,

1007
01:14:26.120 --> 01:14:28.600
and she was like, one day in our future,

1008
01:14:28.600 --> 01:14:31.240
we are not gonna have this junk in our fridge,

1009
01:14:31.240 --> 01:14:33.800
and I thought she was crazy, right?

1010
01:14:33.800 --> 01:14:36.200
Well, now I'm like, oh my gosh,

1011
01:14:36.200 --> 01:14:37.840
don't have that in our fridge?

1012
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:39.120
That stuff's nasty.

1013
01:14:40.480 --> 01:14:42.280
So big changes there,

1014
01:14:42.320 --> 01:14:43.680
but the big changes always start

1015
01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:45.120
with just a little change, right?

1016
01:14:45.120 --> 01:14:48.240
So little change leads to a big change.

1017
01:14:49.480 --> 01:14:51.920
So I just, what I want you to start thinking about

1018
01:14:51.920 --> 01:14:54.480
is eating something awesome each day,

1019
01:14:54.480 --> 01:14:57.040
eating something that's fantastic for your body each day,

1020
01:14:57.040 --> 01:14:59.080
because when you start making progress,

1021
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.640
and you realize that if you start working out a little bit

1022
01:15:03.640 --> 01:15:05.280
and you start losing some weight,

1023
01:15:05.280 --> 01:15:07.560
or you go to the effort of working out

1024
01:15:07.560 --> 01:15:09.200
or doing some exercise,

1025
01:15:09.200 --> 01:15:12.440
and your body gets into a fat-burning cycle

1026
01:15:12.440 --> 01:15:14.960
and you've done all this effort to get that,

1027
01:15:14.960 --> 01:15:16.520
when you realize that the moment

1028
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:18.040
you start eating something sugary,

1029
01:15:18.040 --> 01:15:21.040
it shuts down the fat-burning cycle,

1030
01:15:21.040 --> 01:15:22.960
you're like, oh man, what?

1031
01:15:22.960 --> 01:15:25.680
I just wasted that entire time doing a workout?

1032
01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:30.000
You know, it's just shut down my fat-burning cycle?

1033
01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:31.200
Oh.

1034
01:15:31.200 --> 01:15:33.520
So those are small things

1035
01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:36.520
that have a big impact across the board.

1036
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:38.240
So eating something,

1037
01:15:38.240 --> 01:15:40.240
is moving your body for at least five minutes a day

1038
01:15:40.240 --> 01:15:41.600
possible or not possible?

1039
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:43.520
Possible.

1040
01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:46.920
What about eating something awesome every day?

1041
01:15:46.920 --> 01:15:48.240
Possible or not possible?

1042
01:15:48.240 --> 01:15:49.080
Possible.

1043
01:15:49.080 --> 01:15:50.040
Possible.

1044
01:15:50.040 --> 01:15:51.680
Oh, well that could be,

1045
01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:52.560
that could include, you know,

1046
01:15:52.560 --> 01:15:54.080
like a supplement or something like that.

1047
01:15:54.280 --> 01:15:58.040
And like I said, I am currently researching,

1048
01:15:58.040 --> 01:15:59.640
I've had a number of people

1049
01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:01.360
just recommending different things to me,

1050
01:16:01.360 --> 01:16:02.760
but I'm researching it

1051
01:16:02.760 --> 01:16:04.840
because I haven't really fully committed

1052
01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:09.840
to like a whole supplements product range

1053
01:16:10.120 --> 01:16:12.400
that I sell on behalf of.

1054
01:16:12.400 --> 01:16:13.840
I sell a couple of little supplements,

1055
01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:15.360
but nothing too crazy,

1056
01:16:15.360 --> 01:16:16.720
but I'm looking at something else.

1057
01:16:16.720 --> 01:16:19.640
So, but that would come under eating something awesome,

1058
01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:20.960
giving your body great nutrition.

1059
01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:21.800
All right, so,

1060
01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:25.520
intentionally express love to one person.

1061
01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:30.800
Possible or not possible?

1062
01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:31.640
Possible.

1063
01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:32.480
Possible.

1064
01:16:33.360 --> 01:16:36.440
Now that could be as simple as sending someone a note,

1065
01:16:36.440 --> 01:16:37.480
just a message and say,

1066
01:16:37.480 --> 01:16:40.600
hey, I appreciate you Dawn,

1067
01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:43.760
because there's so many reasons I appreciate you,

1068
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:45.120
but I also wanted to let you know

1069
01:16:45.120 --> 01:16:46.600
that your makeup looks really nice today

1070
01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:47.440
and I like it.

1071
01:16:47.440 --> 01:16:49.160
That's a good, it looks good on you.

1072
01:16:50.280 --> 01:16:51.120
You're looking good.

1073
01:16:51.720 --> 01:16:53.040
It could be something as simple as that,

1074
01:16:53.040 --> 01:16:57.240
just intentionally expressing love to one person.

1075
01:17:00.040 --> 01:17:00.880
Cool?

1076
01:17:02.440 --> 01:17:04.400
Okay, next thing is,

1077
01:17:04.400 --> 01:17:06.640
sorry, possible or not possible on that one?

1078
01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:07.480
Possible.

1079
01:17:08.800 --> 01:17:11.480
Okay, the next one is practice your trigger,

1080
01:17:11.480 --> 01:17:14.320
which is the weirdest thing that I've written down there,

1081
01:17:14.320 --> 01:17:16.920
because normally a trigger is associated

1082
01:17:16.920 --> 01:17:18.960
with some type of emotional dysfunction.

1083
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:21.200
You're like, ah, I have a freak out.

1084
01:17:21.200 --> 01:17:23.360
But what we are talking about here

1085
01:17:23.360 --> 01:17:25.120
and practicing your trigger is,

1086
01:17:25.120 --> 01:17:28.160
remember your picture of intimacy?

1087
01:17:28.160 --> 01:17:29.000
Yep.

1088
01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:31.080
And the activation that we did at the start

1089
01:17:31.080 --> 01:17:32.520
of the session today,

1090
01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:36.120
which was just an activation to focus in on

1091
01:17:36.120 --> 01:17:38.600
stepping into that place of extreme intimacy

1092
01:17:38.600 --> 01:17:39.440
and feeling it.

1093
01:17:39.440 --> 01:17:40.520
And then we went to that place

1094
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:41.880
and felt it for like 10 seconds,

1095
01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:43.680
like, whoa!

1096
01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:44.680
Yeah?

1097
01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:45.520
Okay, so,

1098
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:48.840
that's what I mean by practicing your trigger.

1099
01:17:48.840 --> 01:17:49.680
Part, that's part of it.

1100
01:17:49.680 --> 01:17:53.880
So part one is actually practicing that moment,

1101
01:17:55.520 --> 01:17:56.840
where you can kind of like for 10 seconds,

1102
01:17:56.840 --> 01:17:58.880
just focus in and just feel.

1103
01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:00.680
So just take a moment right now,

1104
01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:01.720
close your eyes.

1105
01:18:01.720 --> 01:18:03.240
I know you have heads in something else,

1106
01:18:03.240 --> 01:18:04.080
but close your eyes.

1107
01:18:04.080 --> 01:18:06.640
Just jump straight back in there as fast as we can

1108
01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:08.560
in that place of our wildest dreams,

1109
01:18:08.560 --> 01:18:09.680
urgency being fulfilled.

1110
01:18:09.680 --> 01:18:10.520
And I want you to feel it.

1111
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:11.360
I want you to feel it.

1112
01:18:11.360 --> 01:18:12.200
I want you to feel it.

1113
01:18:12.200 --> 01:18:13.040
I want you to feel it.

1114
01:18:13.040 --> 01:18:13.880
I want you to feel it.

1115
01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:14.800
Urgency being fulfilled.

1116
01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:18.120
And I want you to feel it for 10 seconds.

1117
01:18:18.120 --> 01:18:19.800
Whoa!

1118
01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:21.200
Whoa!

1119
01:18:21.200 --> 01:18:22.360
Ah!

1120
01:18:22.360 --> 01:18:23.760
Ah!

1121
01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:24.600
Ah!

1122
01:18:25.680 --> 01:18:26.520
Whoa!

1123
01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:30.360
Whoa!

1124
01:18:30.360 --> 01:18:31.560
Ah!

1125
01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:32.640
Ah!

1126
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:33.880
Whoa!

1127
01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:34.720
Okay, stop it.

1128
01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:37.640
Stop it!

1129
01:18:37.640 --> 01:18:39.560
That's enough of that.

1130
01:18:41.040 --> 01:18:43.400
So, practicing your trigger

1131
01:18:43.400 --> 01:18:44.520
is a little bit like that, okay?

1132
01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:47.280
So, what I want you to think about is

1133
01:18:47.280 --> 01:18:48.960
a practice becomes a habit,

1134
01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:50.520
a habit becomes a reflex,

1135
01:18:50.520 --> 01:18:53.640
a reflex becomes a lifestyle,

1136
01:18:53.640 --> 01:18:56.480
and a lifestyle becomes a state of being.

1137
01:18:56.480 --> 01:18:59.640
So, practice, habit, reflex, lifestyle, state of being.

1138
01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:03.160
So, did you see how easy and effortless that was for me

1139
01:19:03.160 --> 01:19:05.640
to go from mid-conversation to just,

1140
01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:06.480
whoa!

1141
01:19:07.400 --> 01:19:08.240
Whoa!

1142
01:19:08.240 --> 01:19:10.400
It's just getting blasted.

1143
01:19:10.400 --> 01:19:11.240
Whoa!

1144
01:19:13.400 --> 01:19:17.960
It's as quick and easy as just shifting my attention for,

1145
01:19:17.960 --> 01:19:20.080
and it's less than a split second,

1146
01:19:20.080 --> 01:19:22.080
and I can be just getting blasted.

1147
01:19:23.720 --> 01:19:27.080
Where I've leapt into that place

1148
01:19:27.080 --> 01:19:32.080
like I've jumped into a freezing lake of the glory.

1149
01:19:33.240 --> 01:19:35.480
You know, it's just like, I'm doing what I'm doing,

1150
01:19:35.480 --> 01:19:37.280
but in a split second,

1151
01:19:37.280 --> 01:19:40.480
I can get baptized in glory and get undone.

1152
01:19:40.480 --> 01:19:44.200
And I can feast on all sorts of different elements

1153
01:19:44.200 --> 01:19:45.040
of the glory.

1154
01:19:45.040 --> 01:19:45.880
What do I need in this moment?

1155
01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:49.320
I can start feasting on love.

1156
01:19:49.320 --> 01:19:50.640
I can start feasting on joy.

1157
01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:52.680
I can start feasting on His face.

1158
01:19:52.680 --> 01:19:56.040
You know, like, I'm a bit of a weird thought,

1159
01:19:56.040 --> 01:20:00.080
but I can start feasting on the glory in a moment.

1160
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.880
but I never used to be able to do that, okay?

1161
01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:04.120
So it's practice becomes a habit,

1162
01:20:04.120 --> 01:20:07.040
a habit becomes a reflex, reflex becomes a lifestyle,

1163
01:20:07.040 --> 01:20:09.600
and a lifestyle becomes a state of being

1164
01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:12.200
where this is just, this is your default setting,

1165
01:20:12.200 --> 01:20:15.280
this is what your normal is, okay?

1166
01:20:15.280 --> 01:20:18.200
So how we do that is,

1167
01:20:18.200 --> 01:20:20.680
I want you to think about a trigger that you can create.

1168
01:20:20.680 --> 01:20:22.920
So this is part of your homework over the next week, okay?

1169
01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:27.080
So in the next week, I want you to come back with a trigger.

1170
01:20:27.120 --> 01:20:28.480
Okay, and what your trigger is,

1171
01:20:28.480 --> 01:20:32.760
is your trigger could be your drink bottle, right?

1172
01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:34.760
That'd be a really good trigger.

1173
01:20:34.760 --> 01:20:37.800
That every time you take a drink from your drink bottle,

1174
01:20:39.480 --> 01:20:43.600
you practice for 10 seconds or five seconds,

1175
01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:48.600
jumping into that place

1176
01:20:49.040 --> 01:20:52.000
of your wildest dreams of intimacy fulfilled.

1177
01:20:52.000 --> 01:20:52.840
Whoa!

1178
01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:00.880
Right, so the idea is to find something

1179
01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:03.840
that's gonna be like a regular part of your day,

1180
01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:05.840
and you're gonna see multiple times a day,

1181
01:21:05.840 --> 01:21:08.520
and it is gonna be your trigger.

1182
01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:10.160
And that trigger is like,

1183
01:21:10.160 --> 01:21:12.480
every time you see that action or do that thing,

1184
01:21:12.480 --> 01:21:15.120
it's like, I'm gonna practice this right now.

1185
01:21:15.120 --> 01:21:17.040
Okay, so it could be every time you're taking a drink,

1186
01:21:17.040 --> 01:21:17.880
you're like, right now,

1187
01:21:17.880 --> 01:21:19.600
I'm gonna find a secret snack in here,

1188
01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:20.920
and I'm like, okay.

1189
01:21:23.200 --> 01:21:24.040
Hmm.

1190
01:21:25.240 --> 01:21:26.080
Whoa.

1191
01:21:27.200 --> 01:21:28.040
Hmm.

1192
01:21:29.040 --> 01:21:29.880
All right.

1193
01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:32.840
Okay, so that's gonna make drinking more fun.

1194
01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:35.040
That'll make it easier to drink three liters.

1195
01:21:36.760 --> 01:21:39.440
So for me, my drink bottle is gonna be my trigger, okay?

1196
01:21:39.440 --> 01:21:41.320
So every time I'm having a drink,

1197
01:21:41.320 --> 01:21:43.840
that's gonna be the trigger for me to practice

1198
01:21:46.520 --> 01:21:48.560
being in the book.

1199
01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:49.400
Practice it.

1200
01:21:49.400 --> 01:21:51.240
Oh, look, look at that.

1201
01:21:51.240 --> 01:21:52.880
I see Michelle double dipping.

1202
01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:54.600
Okay, so anyone got any ideas

1203
01:21:54.600 --> 01:21:56.840
on what they might like to use as their trigger?

1204
01:22:01.040 --> 01:22:03.480
You want something that is around you,

1205
01:22:03.480 --> 01:22:04.640
that's close to you,

1206
01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:07.880
something that you can do on a regular basis

1207
01:22:07.880 --> 01:22:08.920
and you wanna train yourself.

1208
01:22:08.920 --> 01:22:09.760
Yeah, Dawn.

1209
01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:17.680
Are we creating a new trigger

1210
01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:20.240
or continuing to create a new trigger?

1211
01:22:20.320 --> 01:22:22.040
Are we creating a new trigger

1212
01:22:22.040 --> 01:22:24.440
or continuing with what we've already created

1213
01:22:24.440 --> 01:22:27.160
or what we already have in place?

1214
01:22:27.160 --> 01:22:28.000
Yeah.

1215
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:30.280
What do you have in place already?

1216
01:22:30.280 --> 01:22:34.440
Well, about six to maybe seven months ago,

1217
01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:39.640
my husband and I, we're with a small,

1218
01:22:39.640 --> 01:22:43.400
and we challenged ourselves to be more aware

1219
01:22:43.400 --> 01:22:46.080
of the spirit realm around us and the Lord.

1220
01:22:46.120 --> 01:22:48.360
So every hour on the hour,

1221
01:22:48.360 --> 01:22:51.800
our alarm goes off 24 hours a day.

1222
01:22:52.800 --> 01:22:54.960
And when the alarm goes off,

1223
01:22:57.440 --> 01:22:59.040
we try to stop what we're doing

1224
01:22:59.040 --> 01:23:04.040
and give the Lord 30 seconds to a minute, 24 hours a day.

1225
01:23:04.440 --> 01:23:06.880
And what has happened,

1226
01:23:07.760 --> 01:23:10.480
probably about like a month in,

1227
01:23:10.480 --> 01:23:14.080
all of us realized when that alarm went off,

1228
01:23:14.080 --> 01:23:15.160
we were already doing it.

1229
01:23:15.160 --> 01:23:19.160
Like our bodies were already doing it.

1230
01:23:19.160 --> 01:23:20.560
And we were like, oh, that's the alarm.

1231
01:23:20.560 --> 01:23:21.640
And so it's really funny.

1232
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:24.760
Like when all of us get together, like now,

1233
01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:27.160
all of our phones are on vibrate

1234
01:23:27.160 --> 01:23:31.640
and all the phones, every hour when we're all together.

1235
01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:33.200
And it's like this hilarious thing.

1236
01:23:33.200 --> 01:23:36.160
And we just all like right then, oh, praise the Lord.

1237
01:23:36.160 --> 01:23:37.400
You know?

1238
01:23:37.400 --> 01:23:41.320
So I don't know if that's, are you still my question?

1239
01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:44.080
That's an amazing trigger.

1240
01:23:44.080 --> 01:23:44.920
There you go.

1241
01:23:44.920 --> 01:23:46.560
You've got an alarm and everything.

1242
01:23:46.560 --> 01:23:47.400
That's brilliant.

1243
01:23:47.400 --> 01:23:48.480
That's genius.

1244
01:23:48.480 --> 01:23:49.320
That's genius.

1245
01:23:49.320 --> 01:23:50.160
And you know what?

1246
01:23:50.160 --> 01:23:52.200
I saw everyone go, and I did it too.

1247
01:23:52.200 --> 01:23:53.040
Every hour.

1248
01:23:53.040 --> 01:23:55.000
What about when you're sleeping?

1249
01:23:55.000 --> 01:23:56.840
But you know what I love about it?

1250
01:23:56.840 --> 01:23:58.360
That was difficult.

1251
01:23:58.360 --> 01:24:01.080
It was difficult when you were sleeping

1252
01:24:01.080 --> 01:24:02.200
because you were being woken up.

1253
01:24:02.200 --> 01:24:04.480
But, you know, even in that, you know,

1254
01:24:04.480 --> 01:24:07.280
it's kind of, we have trained ourselves

1255
01:24:07.280 --> 01:24:11.200
to kind of like, you know, kind of like praying dogs

1256
01:24:12.080 --> 01:24:12.920
and like go back to sleep.

1257
01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:14.720
And it's like, it's really cool.

1258
01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:16.800
I don't even know what has happened.

1259
01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:19.240
Just like, I don't, I don't, I can't explain it.

1260
01:24:19.240 --> 01:24:20.880
It's a, there's no words,

1261
01:24:20.880 --> 01:24:22.680
but that is what happens in the middle of the night.

1262
01:24:22.680 --> 01:24:24.560
And so now all of us,

1263
01:24:24.560 --> 01:24:27.880
we have all experienced these middle of the night things,

1264
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:29.800
you know, like, oh, guess what happened?

1265
01:24:29.800 --> 01:24:33.680
You know, for 10 seconds in the middle at 3 a.m.,

1266
01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:37.080
you know, stuff like this, like amazing things, you know?

1267
01:24:37.080 --> 01:24:38.800
And so anyway, but yeah.

1268
01:24:38.840 --> 01:24:42.400
So you're saying stay with what I've created, not-

1269
01:24:42.400 --> 01:24:43.720
Yeah, if you've got something that's working,

1270
01:24:43.720 --> 01:24:44.560
that's awesome.

1271
01:24:44.560 --> 01:24:45.400
That is amazing.

1272
01:24:45.400 --> 01:24:47.240
That's a trigger on the next level.

1273
01:24:47.240 --> 01:24:48.880
That is so good.

1274
01:24:48.880 --> 01:24:49.720
And I love it.

1275
01:24:49.720 --> 01:24:52.880
And you know what I love about it is that that sounds hard.

1276
01:24:52.880 --> 01:24:53.720
Right?

1277
01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:56.320
I love that because it's hard.

1278
01:24:56.320 --> 01:24:58.560
And it was very, very hard.

1279
01:24:58.560 --> 01:24:59.760
Produce great.

1280
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:10.440
results. I also, you know, like, I would, you know, yeah, just,

1281
01:25:10.480 --> 01:25:14.800
just, just create something that works for you. Okay, create

1282
01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:17.760
something with you. For me, that sounds awesome, but I'm not

1283
01:25:17.760 --> 01:25:21.680
going to do it. Right. That's not going to be that's not going

1284
01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:24.160
to be a good fit for me. But I don't necessarily sleep all that

1285
01:25:24.160 --> 01:25:30.400
much. I'm often up at 4am or before. So those hours of sleep

1286
01:25:30.400 --> 01:25:35.600
that I do get, boom, Jesus, give it to me. I'm going to take it.

1287
01:25:35.600 --> 01:25:40.520
Holy Spirit wakes me up at 2am as it is. So for me, I'm going

1288
01:25:40.520 --> 01:25:44.480
to like, no, I don't want to do that. But I flippin love it. And

1289
01:25:44.480 --> 01:25:46.520
you want to find the thing that's a good fit for you. Okay,

1290
01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:51.720
so find a trigger that's a good fit for you. Okay, who spent

1291
01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:55.840
some money today? It's all wait, wait, wait, practice your

1292
01:25:55.840 --> 01:26:01.120
trigger possible or impossible. Possible. Possible to create a

1293
01:26:01.120 --> 01:26:04.440
trigger. Miracle, you can set your own trigger. So it's

1294
01:26:04.440 --> 01:26:10.680
possible. Okay, so the next one is a lot. So let me ask you a

1295
01:26:10.680 --> 01:26:19.160
question first. Who spent some money today? Yep. Who? Who has

1296
01:26:19.200 --> 01:26:24.400
to pay rent? Who had expenses today? Let me put it

1297
01:26:24.400 --> 01:26:29.440
differently. Who had expenses today? Right? They don't give

1298
01:26:29.440 --> 01:26:32.680
you rent for free, right? You have to pay rent every day. You

1299
01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:36.120
don't get free days, right? Or a loan on your, you know, like you

1300
01:26:36.120 --> 01:26:41.560
paid rent, or you paid a loan, or you paid power, or you paid

1301
01:26:41.640 --> 01:26:47.320
internet, or who had expenses today? Yep. Everyone, right?

1302
01:26:47.360 --> 01:26:51.440
Everyone had expenses. Who made money today? Anyone make money

1303
01:26:51.440 --> 01:27:04.880
today? Maybe. Maybe. So, okay. Who gave someone some money

1304
01:27:04.880 --> 01:27:13.960
today? All right. And who saved some money today? Did anyone get

1305
01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:18.920
a bargain, get a discount, or put some money in a bank? Or a

1306
01:27:18.920 --> 01:27:23.880
savings? Or invested it? Anyone invest some money? Save some

1307
01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:31.320
money? I invested some money today. Okay, so here's the

1308
01:27:31.320 --> 01:27:37.280
thing. Our economy is a daily thing. But every single day we

1309
01:27:37.280 --> 01:27:41.320
have expenses. Agree or disagree? Every single day we

1310
01:27:41.320 --> 01:27:44.560
have expenses, right? Every single day we have the

1311
01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:51.440
opportunity to spend more than we need to. Right? Yeah. You

1312
01:27:51.440 --> 01:27:53.640
could, you could spend more money than you need to today,

1313
01:27:53.640 --> 01:27:57.880
right? And then pay the price later on. Like, oh, I shouldn't

1314
01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:03.640
have done that. Agree or disagree? Agree. So every day we

1315
01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:07.080
get the choice to choose. Now there's four purposes of money.

1316
01:28:07.080 --> 01:28:08.960
Let me just hit them real quick with you. But there's four

1317
01:28:09.000 --> 01:28:14.200
purposes of money. Money can be spent on things. Money can be

1318
01:28:14.200 --> 01:28:18.720
saved. Money can be given. And money can be invested. Those are

1319
01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:21.240
the four things that you can do with money. You can spend it,

1320
01:28:21.280 --> 01:28:25.120
you can save it, you can give it, or you can invest it. And

1321
01:28:25.120 --> 01:28:30.680
every single day, you have an economy, your own economy. And

1322
01:28:30.680 --> 01:28:33.760
in your own economy, every single day, you are choosing

1323
01:28:33.760 --> 01:28:36.120
what you do with your money. You're either spending it,

1324
01:28:36.120 --> 01:28:39.640
saving it, investing it, or giving it. And that's a daily

1325
01:28:39.640 --> 01:28:44.840
thing. So the next one is to make a genius money move every

1326
01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:50.320
day. All right. And that could just be choosing not to spend

1327
01:28:50.320 --> 01:28:52.120
money when you have the opportunity. You're like, I'm

1328
01:28:52.120 --> 01:28:57.560
not gonna waste it on that. Or it could be, you know what, I'm

1329
01:28:57.560 --> 01:29:00.840
gonna make some money today. I'm gonna do something to make some

1330
01:29:00.840 --> 01:29:07.920
money. Or I'm going to give someone some money today. Or I'm

1331
01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:19.560
going to invest some money today. Yep. Sweet. So, is that

1332
01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:22.960
possible or impossible to make a genius money move every day?

1333
01:29:23.320 --> 01:29:24.160
It's possible.

1334
01:29:24.440 --> 01:29:25.080
Possible.

1335
01:29:27.680 --> 01:29:28.160
Possible?

1336
01:29:28.680 --> 01:29:29.160
Yeah.

1337
01:29:29.400 --> 01:29:33.680
Impossible. Now, it's not about the amount. It's just about the

1338
01:29:33.680 --> 01:29:36.960
principle of stewardship, of just making you just do

1339
01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:40.480
something brilliant every day. It's about making sure that

1340
01:29:40.480 --> 01:29:42.840
every day you're being intentional, that what you're

1341
01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:48.760
doing with your money is a brilliant decision. You're

1342
01:29:48.760 --> 01:29:51.520
already making, you're already, you make decisions about money

1343
01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:54.840
every single day. So what we want to make sure is that those

1344
01:29:54.840 --> 01:29:57.160
decisions are genius decisions.

1345
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:05.120
every day we make genius level decisions with our money.

1346
01:30:08.080 --> 01:30:15.520
We're either making it somehow or investing it or we're saving it by either putting it

1347
01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:19.600
somewhere where we put saving things or we're not you know like we're not um

1348
01:30:22.400 --> 01:30:25.680
you know we're saving it by not spending it on something we just I actually know that's a waste

1349
01:30:25.680 --> 01:30:30.240
I don't need that um you know or we're giving it and then with spending I'll just say one thing

1350
01:30:30.240 --> 01:30:38.320
with spending as well is genius spending doesn't always mean cheap spending you know if you're

1351
01:30:38.320 --> 01:30:44.720
going to make a genius money move sometimes that means buying something exceptional that is not

1352
01:30:44.720 --> 01:30:49.440
going to break it's going to last so that's another dynamic of spending and making a genius

1353
01:30:49.440 --> 01:30:53.680
money move is you know you could buy something cheap it's going to be broken and you're not

1354
01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:57.200
going to last it's going to be a pain and a headache or you can buy something exceptional

1355
01:30:57.200 --> 01:31:05.200
that's going to really last and do the trick so there's our daily hard things challenge

1356
01:31:06.720 --> 01:31:11.280
now let's just quickly run over it real quick so five minutes of focus praying in the holy

1357
01:31:11.280 --> 01:31:16.240
spirit of day I want us to analyze how long this takes to take five minutes that one seven daily

1358
01:31:16.240 --> 01:31:23.360
decrees um if you've got the decrees down into a sentence each that could be 30 seconds a minute

1359
01:31:23.440 --> 01:31:27.680
30 seconds of the cream so that could be you know like that could be five minutes

1360
01:31:28.800 --> 01:31:38.400
there read one chapter of the bible a day um that could be you know that might take you 10 15 minutes

1361
01:31:38.400 --> 01:31:44.560
so just say it's 15 minutes we're at 25 minutes now verse of the day writing down your verse of

1362
01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:50.720
the day that's five minutes writing down your gratitude that's five minutes so that's 35 minutes

1363
01:31:51.360 --> 01:31:58.400
on those things drink three liters of water a day that doesn't actually take time that's just

1364
01:31:58.400 --> 01:32:03.040
something you're doing through the day right doesn't take any extra time you're already

1365
01:32:03.040 --> 01:32:10.000
drinking it's just being a little bit intentional um move your body for at least five minutes a day

1366
01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:16.080
well that's going to take at least five minutes it might take a little bit longer um so

1367
01:32:16.080 --> 01:32:23.040
so we've got 35 minutes on that on those other disciplines but so five at least five minutes

1368
01:32:23.040 --> 01:32:28.320
on working out eating something awesome does it take much longer or does it just take us

1369
01:32:28.320 --> 01:32:35.440
being intentional intentional yeah just just requires us to be intentional doesn't require

1370
01:32:36.400 --> 01:32:41.200
any extra time just requires us to be intentional intentionally expressing love to one person

1371
01:32:41.200 --> 01:32:47.200
and that could take from a minute to the whole day

1372
01:32:50.480 --> 01:32:52.080
depending on depending on what it is

1373
01:32:55.440 --> 01:33:03.200
um so yeah that's just an open-ended one just depends on how inspired you get what you want

1374
01:33:03.200 --> 01:33:07.280
to do it might be buying a present for someone that could be good spending that could be a

1375
01:33:07.280 --> 01:33:13.680
genius money move you buy a great present for someone um then practicing your trigger

1376
01:33:14.400 --> 01:33:18.480
not necessarily an extra length of time but just something you're incorporating into your

1377
01:33:18.480 --> 01:33:26.320
daily routine your rhythm and then make a genius money move you know it could just be making a

1378
01:33:26.320 --> 01:33:34.960
decision that um you're going to buy something that's a better quality so it's not necessarily

1379
01:33:34.960 --> 01:33:38.880
a time thing so actually if you look at this we're actually all of the things that we've got

1380
01:33:38.880 --> 01:33:43.920
there if you look at the time dynamic it could all be done in less than an hour

1381
01:33:48.640 --> 01:33:52.960
what it does require the thing it requires the most is intentionality

1382
01:33:54.960 --> 01:34:01.920
yeah so here's where we ask the final question and then wrap it up for the day is

1383
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:11.040
that picture that we had when you were with Jesus right imagining

1384
01:34:12.080 --> 01:34:16.480
all your wildest dreams come true versus imagining none of them happening

1385
01:34:19.280 --> 01:34:24.160
what price would you pay to make sure that you weren't living in regret but you were

1386
01:34:24.160 --> 01:34:27.920
living in the fruition of your wildest dreams would you be willing to pay an hour a day

1387
01:34:28.480 --> 01:34:35.040
yes to be willing to pay an hour a day every day in order to position yourself at the end of your

1388
01:34:35.040 --> 01:34:39.760
life to be to be in that place where you're like oh my gosh i'm in ecstatic joy looking

1389
01:34:39.760 --> 01:34:41.760
back over my life because i made amazing decisions

1390
01:34:46.080 --> 01:34:54.400
all right beautiful well um that sounds excellent how you guys let's just chat now any questions

1391
01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:58.240
and how you guys let's just check now any questions feedback how you think what are you

1392
01:34:58.240 --> 01:34:59.680
thinking thoughts on this

1393
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:07.920
before we wrap up. Feel free to get chatty.

1394
01:35:12.480 --> 01:35:13.440
Um Benji,

1395
01:35:16.320 --> 01:35:24.720
can I just clarify one thing that you said? That was about reading one chapter of the Bible a day

1396
01:35:25.360 --> 01:35:32.400
and you said the same every day. I just want to clarify are you saying that we all as a group

1397
01:35:32.400 --> 01:35:42.480
collectively commit to reading you know the same the same Bible chapters each day or are you saying

1398
01:35:42.480 --> 01:35:49.600
that we say read John 1 and we read it every day for for a certain period of time? I just wasn't

1399
01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:57.520
sure. Yes so what I was saying is what I'd like us to do is go on a journey together as a group

1400
01:35:58.400 --> 01:36:02.640
reading reading the same chapter. So we got we read the book of John and then we'll read the

1401
01:36:02.640 --> 01:36:07.200
book of Acts and we're just going to go on this cool journey together of reading through the

1402
01:36:07.200 --> 01:36:18.880
Bible. So start with John 1? Yeah we won't officially start this until next week okay

1403
01:36:18.880 --> 01:36:30.080
so Monday next week is actually um I have it I have a three-day training that I'm doing next week

1404
01:36:31.040 --> 01:36:36.880
um it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday my time. So next week what we're going to do is we're going to do

1405
01:36:37.520 --> 01:36:44.080
Wednesday, Friday here in the Honours School of Sanskrit okay so today is Wednesday so and

1406
01:36:44.080 --> 01:36:48.320
so it'll be the same as this week next week it'll be Wednesday, Friday that we do our sessions yeah

1407
01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:55.040
so Wednesday so you've got a week from now to work on your decrees a week from now to figure

1408
01:36:55.040 --> 01:36:59.040
out your triggers a week from now if you haven't done your picture already to do your picture

1409
01:36:59.680 --> 01:37:06.080
so you've got a week from now to do your homework um yeah and that'll be at the same time

1410
01:37:07.440 --> 01:37:10.880
yeah we'll be aiming to do it uh pretty much the same time

1411
01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:17.200
I know I know it kind of jumps around a little bit sometimes it's time zones and sometimes

1412
01:37:17.200 --> 01:37:22.880
like yesterday for example um oh we were going to do it at 3pm yesterday but then I got the

1413
01:37:22.880 --> 01:37:29.040
opportunity uh to do a tv interview for our calendar so I said yep sweet I'll do that

1414
01:37:29.680 --> 01:37:38.960
so just kind of bumped my schedule out but yeah not worth it oh it was cool and I think you know

1415
01:37:39.680 --> 01:37:43.280
that's part of the thing about the Honours School of Sanskrit it's all self-paced you can catch the

1416
01:37:43.280 --> 01:37:49.680
replays anytime the sessions will happen and we won't always be able to get the live ones

1417
01:37:49.680 --> 01:37:52.960
so the replay will always be there so you can finish track yeah

1418
01:37:55.200 --> 01:37:56.080
yep um

1419
01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:06.880
yeah any other thoughts reflection does it sound crazy terrible excited about it um scared about it

1420
01:38:07.840 --> 01:38:14.960
um sorry it's very practical and I'm very excited

1421
01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:20.560
cool very cool yeah sounds good good reset

1422
01:38:21.840 --> 01:38:29.920
oh that's cool looking forward to beginning the journey excellent excellent this is like

1423
01:38:29.920 --> 01:38:35.200
the behind the scenes in my life of what actually made change happen for me is just

1424
01:38:35.200 --> 01:38:39.360
doing a ridiculous amount of hard things and then doing discipline stuff like this

1425
01:38:39.360 --> 01:38:45.120
pretty much every day or if not every day most days um some of those things I you know might

1426
01:38:45.120 --> 01:38:52.640
not happen uh you know one particular day like today I'm uh today I'm taking a break like I'm

1427
01:38:52.640 --> 01:38:58.560
not doing a workout today but that's because it's a rest day um for my body but I'll probably still

1428
01:38:58.560 --> 01:39:03.840
end up you know moving my body intentionally for five days but that's partly because yesterday I

1429
01:39:03.840 --> 01:39:10.320
did a real hard out session at the gym on weights and um did a pump class and got blasted so

1430
01:39:11.200 --> 01:39:15.120
I'm like sweet I'm going to take a rest day and you know get busy again tomorrow

1431
01:39:18.640 --> 01:39:22.640
but for us for this challenge we want to we want to commit to these things as daily

1432
01:39:23.520 --> 01:39:31.840
um but it's it's that's that's where like this is this is the stuff that no one actually gets

1433
01:39:31.840 --> 01:39:35.600
most of the time you go somewhere you speak at a conference or whatever you see something amazing

1434
01:39:35.600 --> 01:39:41.040
happen people go oh I can you pray for me because I want what you've got you're like

1435
01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:46.640
are you serious if it was that easy I pray for myself you know

1436
01:39:51.520 --> 01:39:55.840
it doesn't work like that you know like it's forged in the heart things

1437
01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:59.840
if you want what people are carrying don't ask them to

1438
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:02.720
but just go more like, yes, you can get impartation.

1439
01:40:02.720 --> 01:40:04.760
I'm not saying you can't get impartation,

1440
01:40:05.800 --> 01:40:10.800
but impartation is only the scraps.

1441
01:40:19.400 --> 01:40:20.640
If that makes sense.

1442
01:40:20.640 --> 01:40:23.440
When someone prays an impartation for you,

1443
01:40:23.440 --> 01:40:26.680
that prayer of impartation can never give you

1444
01:40:26.680 --> 01:40:30.760
the foundation that was built through hard things.

1445
01:40:32.240 --> 01:40:34.480
It can give you the residue.

1446
01:40:34.480 --> 01:40:35.840
It can give you something,

1447
01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:37.960
but it can't give you the foundation,

1448
01:40:37.960 --> 01:40:39.920
the infrastructure that was built

1449
01:40:39.920 --> 01:40:42.000
on decades of hard things.

1450
01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:45.840
It can't give you what impartation doesn't do.

1451
01:40:47.880 --> 01:40:51.240
I mean, I won't say nothing's impossible,

1452
01:40:51.240 --> 01:40:53.560
but what I want to say is very rarely what happens,

1453
01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:58.560
very rarely does someone impart their willpower to you.

1454
01:41:00.040 --> 01:41:02.960
That's something that you're responsible for yourself.

1455
01:41:05.840 --> 01:41:06.680
Sweet.

1456
01:41:06.680 --> 01:41:07.520
Well, why don't we grab a couple of people

1457
01:41:07.520 --> 01:41:09.560
who are keen to pray and we'll wrap it up.

1458
01:41:16.880 --> 01:41:18.080
Who would like to pray?

1459
01:41:19.080 --> 01:41:19.920
I will pray.

1460
01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:26.160
Lord Jesus, thank you so much

1461
01:41:26.160 --> 01:41:30.400
that you have given us everything that we need

1462
01:41:30.400 --> 01:41:32.120
for life and godliness.

1463
01:41:33.120 --> 01:41:37.400
And I thank you for the sessions,

1464
01:41:37.400 --> 01:41:39.800
what you are teaching us through Benji.

1465
01:41:39.800 --> 01:41:43.040
And Lord, I pray that you strengthen us

1466
01:41:43.040 --> 01:41:47.040
in the core of our beings to just go throughout

1467
01:41:48.200 --> 01:41:50.920
and just simply do the things.

1468
01:41:51.880 --> 01:41:54.720
Thank you that it is possible

1469
01:41:54.720 --> 01:41:59.720
and that there's a flow because you have enabled us

1470
01:42:00.840 --> 01:42:04.840
and that you have created us to be able to do hard things

1471
01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:08.720
and that you are with us in the hard things,

1472
01:42:09.840 --> 01:42:12.760
encouraging us, equipping us,

1473
01:42:12.760 --> 01:42:16.880
coaching us, teaching us, comforting us.

1474
01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:19.440
And we praise you and we honor you for that.

1475
01:42:19.440 --> 01:42:21.400
Thank you that we are not alone

1476
01:42:21.400 --> 01:42:24.360
and that we as a group also can encourage each other.

1477
01:42:25.360 --> 01:42:27.720
And we praise you for all of this.

1478
01:42:27.720 --> 01:42:28.560
Amen.

1479
01:42:33.200 --> 01:42:35.240
I just hear the Lord saying,

1480
01:42:35.240 --> 01:42:37.960
just I just hear the Father saying,

1481
01:42:37.960 --> 01:42:41.680
come up higher and expect the unexpected.

1482
01:42:41.680 --> 01:42:43.720
So Father God, we just thank you

1483
01:42:44.680 --> 01:42:47.440
that you are calling us up higher,

1484
01:42:47.440 --> 01:42:51.480
even as the eagle flies up above the storms

1485
01:42:51.480 --> 01:42:53.880
and up above the winds, Father God,

1486
01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:56.080
that you are calling us up higher,

1487
01:42:56.080 --> 01:42:58.000
higher than we've been before.

1488
01:42:58.880 --> 01:43:01.080
Thank you Father that you're calling us

1489
01:43:01.080 --> 01:43:04.120
and to expect the unexpected Father God,

1490
01:43:04.120 --> 01:43:07.760
even as we put the work in daily,

1491
01:43:07.760 --> 01:43:10.640
Father God, as we put in the hard work,

1492
01:43:10.640 --> 01:43:12.560
the hard things that we need to do,

1493
01:43:12.560 --> 01:43:14.640
Father God, that you will just,

1494
01:43:15.640 --> 01:43:17.360
and even as we wait on you,

1495
01:43:17.360 --> 01:43:20.120
that we will rise up on wings like eagles,

1496
01:43:20.120 --> 01:43:22.000
that we will run and not grow weary

1497
01:43:22.000 --> 01:43:24.400
and that we will walk and not faint.

1498
01:43:24.400 --> 01:43:26.000
Thank you Father.

1499
01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:28.480
We thank you Father that you are our strength

1500
01:43:28.480 --> 01:43:30.360
and we are weak.

1501
01:43:30.360 --> 01:43:32.600
Thank you Father that in you,

1502
01:43:33.640 --> 01:43:38.120
you in us enables us to do exceedingly abundantly

1503
01:43:38.120 --> 01:43:41.360
above all we can ask or imagine.

1504
01:43:41.400 --> 01:43:42.800
Just thank you Father.

1505
01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:44.160
Thank you Father.

1506
01:43:51.560 --> 01:43:52.400
Amen.

1507
01:43:52.400 --> 01:43:54.240
Well, bless you family.

1508
01:43:54.240 --> 01:43:55.760
Love you very much.

1509
01:43:56.960 --> 01:44:00.680
Couple of cool notices for you.

1510
01:44:00.680 --> 01:44:03.240
We are gonna do a three-day royal challenge

1511
01:44:03.240 --> 01:44:04.640
over the weekend, okay?

1512
01:44:04.640 --> 01:44:09.360
So it's Saturday, 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

1513
01:44:09.360 --> 01:44:10.760
in Pacific Standard Time.

1514
01:44:11.160 --> 01:44:12.400
So it's a three-day royal challenge

1515
01:44:12.400 --> 01:44:15.680
and it's all about mastering mindsets

1516
01:44:15.680 --> 01:44:19.400
of your royal identity, your royal calling

1517
01:44:19.400 --> 01:44:21.440
and royal economics.

1518
01:44:21.440 --> 01:44:25.920
So that's gonna be a really powerful three-day masterclass.

1519
01:44:25.920 --> 01:44:27.360
So if you wanna jump on board that,

1520
01:44:27.360 --> 01:44:28.600
that's gonna be heaps of fun.

1521
01:44:28.600 --> 01:44:33.240
It'll be in the main Raising Royalty group.

1522
01:44:33.240 --> 01:44:35.440
So if you want, you can jump in on that action.

1523
01:44:35.440 --> 01:44:38.360
It will be, it's a real, like it isn't intensive,

1524
01:44:38.360 --> 01:44:39.200
it's a masterclass.

1525
01:44:39.200 --> 01:44:41.200
So six sessions over three days,

1526
01:44:41.200 --> 01:44:44.440
but it produces a huge shift in a short space of time.

1527
01:44:44.440 --> 01:44:48.080
So if you're up for an expedited shift

1528
01:44:48.080 --> 01:44:48.920
and a big upgrade,

1529
01:44:48.920 --> 01:44:52.800
then that's a really cool opportunity to jump in on.

1530
01:44:52.800 --> 01:44:54.920
We've got the Raising Royalty Talent Awards

1531
01:44:54.920 --> 01:44:58.280
happening real soon too, which is very exciting.

1532
01:44:58.280 --> 01:45:00.000
And then the other dynamic.

1533
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:06.720
that we have is coming up soon is the Seven Sacred Pathways to Intimacy. Who finds that

1534
01:45:06.720 --> 01:45:12.080
idea quite exciting of doing the Seven Sacred Pathways to Intimacy? It's real vulnerable,

1535
01:45:12.080 --> 01:45:16.800
in-depth, behind the scenes, brutally honest, transparent, covers all the stuff.

1536
01:45:18.480 --> 01:45:20.560
Yeah. Interest levels on that?

1537
01:45:22.880 --> 01:45:27.760
Yep. Okay, cool. So for anyone who wants to build mind-blowing intimacy, whether you're

1538
01:45:27.760 --> 01:45:35.520
single or married, but you have that dream for mind-blowing intimacy, then that's happening here

1539
01:45:35.520 --> 01:45:40.640
in the Online School of Sonship too. So watch out for that. It's a real game-changer. And

1540
01:45:41.200 --> 01:45:46.720
I'm hoping to actually... I'm just working on exactly when to schedule it in, but we're

1541
01:45:46.720 --> 01:45:50.000
going to probably... We will have started that. Within the next three weeks, we will start it.

1542
01:45:50.000 --> 01:45:56.640
Maybe even the next two weeks. So maybe even next week. I'm just working to set the schedule on

1543
01:45:56.720 --> 01:46:02.400
exactly. It will be set shortly. So yeah. So I love you, family. Bless you. Catch you soon.

1544
01:46:02.400 --> 01:46:06.320
Thanks heaps for being with us today. Bye. Bye.
