relationship, fellowship with the Trinity. So we're gonna start there tonight and
we're gonna have an amazing night tonight so let's just, let's dive in, let's
dive in deep and get really deeply saturated and freshly overwhelmed by the
wonder of Trinity. So Trinity we come before you right now with such
excitement and such delight and with hearts postured in a way that we can
feel the tangible, whoa, right now I can feel your manifest glory right here in
Trinity. Wow, I'll put my attention on you and Trinity I put my attention on the
wonder, the wonder of who you are. Trinity there is you, there is an infinite
wonder, this, this space right here of face-to-face and heart-to-heart and
spirit-to-spirit, this is our most sacred place, this is our most holy place as we
set our hearts on you, we honor you, whoa, we honor your sacred presence, our hearts
delight and we rejoice in every part of our being, body, soul, and spirit,
celebrates and exalts and delights and does backflips in the bliss and the
wonder of knowing you and the bliss and the wonder of our inclusion in you, of
this gift of divine union, every part of who we are radiates and celebrates, whoa,
so I just want to say everyone just drink deep right now, drink deep
right now of oneness, drink right now, drink deep right now of divine union,
drink deep right now of your inclusion, drink deep right now of the reality
there's no separation, Trinity we breathe you in right now, we delight in you, we
welcome and I see it right now, I see waves of your glory being released and
right now I see waves of your presence just emanating out from this
place, I see waves of your presence emanating out over the video right
now and sweeping away a sense of disconnection, I see for some people
right now the presence of God just overwhelming you and I want to declare
that that's what you were created for, that's what you were born for more than
anything else you were created for, to be overwhelmed by the presence, I see the
Weighty, glory of God, overwhelming. People are fresh right now, whoa.
While we lean back, we open our hearts wide. Wow, we receive your glory. We thank you
for, whoa, we thank you for the ecstasy of who you are. We thank you for redeeming
our image of you. We thank you for redeeming our image of you. We thank you that to know
you is to know bliss, to know you is to know ecstasy, to know you is to know divine life,
to know you is to know divine union and fellowship and seamless union. To know you is to be defined
by you. And we celebrate your trinity with every part and every facet of who we are.
And we just declare a fresh releasing of the wonders, the fresh releasing of your wonders,
a fresh releasing of this sacred awareness of the wonder of who you are. We celebrate
that right now. We celebrate you right now, Trinity. And I celebrate every single person
as a part of this journey together. I thank you for fresh wonders and signs and miracles
in their lives. I thank you for fresh revelations of your nature that change everything. I thank
you for fresh revelations of your nature that eclipse everything that we've ever thought
we knew about you, in your beautiful name. Amen.
Love you guys so much. If you're feeling the love, if you're feeling the presence right
now, why don't you give a thumbs up and amen. Or why don't you just say, yeah, you're receiving
right now. I love to go on this journey with you. And I love to create this, especially
in these live videos, a sense of interaction, connection with you. So I just enjoy the interaction.
I enjoy getting to know you on these videos. So your comments, I read every comment and
I'll go back after the videos as well and just enjoy the comments and the themes and
the things that are coming up. So just again, give me a thumbs up and a high five if you're
hearing everything, if everything's coming through clearly. That's amazing. Now, we've
got some great teaching for tonight. I've actually got some great giveaways for tonight
as well. And I've got a really significant notice to give to you tonight as well. So
just one second. Our camera's going to get a slight bump, but that's all right. But having
said all that, you know, in this teaching, we'll get to it in a moment, but there's really
nothing, nothing, nothing more significant than a connection with you in the Trinity,
a connection with you in the divine nature that is so seamless, that is so deep, that
is so face-to-face and so spirit-to-spirit, that it seems like you're one with Him, that
it seems like there is no separation, that there's nothing more significant than that.
And that happens both through the teaching and the revelation, but also just through
fresh encounter with Him, just through actually opening our hearts up to Him and letting Him
overwhelm us. And we were literally designed, created to be overwhelmed by His presence.
And if we're not overwhelmed by His presence, we can be overwhelmed by anything else.
Why don't you just shout out right now things that you've been overwhelmed by in the past.
I know that I've been overwhelmed by pressure. I know that I've been overwhelmed by finances.
I know I've been overwhelmed by spiritual dynamics and relationships and hard decisions
and my own sense of inadequacy and my own shame and my own... I've been overwhelmed by all
of these things, but I've discovered this place. And it's really what Matt was talking
about today in his session, which was amazing, by the way. I just want to celebrate and just
go, wow, Matt's session this afternoon was just amazing. Our life, our life, our life
is hidden with God in Christ Jesus. That's where we discover ourselves. That's where
we discover our destiny. That's where we discover what we were born for, created for.
It's literally in Him. When we wake up to the present reality of our oneness with Him
and we get to feast on the riches of the divine nature as an effortless state of being, that's
where our life is. Our life isn't in being overwhelmed by circumstances or tribulation.
Our life isn't in... Our life isn't in a religious pursuit of...
trying to get closer to God.
Our life isn't in a religious pursuit
of trying to be good enough, trying to be accepted,
trying to be intimate.
Our life is literally, it's the gift of God
that was hidden in Christ
since before the foundation of the world,
a reality we awaken to and experience the bliss
and the wonder of this phenomenal union in the Trinity.
So if you like the sound of that, right,
if you are all in this,
this is what I'd like to hear it.
Are you all in on this beautiful journey?
Do you wanna discover the bliss of your sonship?
On a one to 10 scale,
how passionate do you feel like you are right now
in this journey of jumping in
and going all in to discovering the bliss
and the infinite wonders of seamless union?
Just on a one to 10 scale,
why don't you just mark that,
chuck that out there, you're a one, you're a 10.
I just wanna pray right now before we go any further
that that divine hunger,
a divine hunger would saturate us,
body, soul, and spirit,
that wherever our hunger levels are right now,
that they would explode,
that there would be a massive explosion
in the desire of our hearts for union,
that this would be an all-consuming,
overwhelming, captivating, burning-hearted desire
within us that we would crave it,
that we would, like David wrote,
as the deer pants for water,
so my soul longs for you.
As David wrote as well,
in a dry and weary land where there is no water,
my soul thirsts for you,
I pant for you, oh God.
Let's pray for that right now.
Let's pray that and set our hearts to believe right now
that divine hunger is gonna overwhelm us
like never before.
Trinity, I thank you, thank you, thank you
for the wonder of who you are.
And Holy Spirit, I thank you
that you are supernaturally moving in power right now.
Holy Spirit, I thank you
that you are supernaturally moving
and causing a revelation of the nature of God
to explode inside of us,
body, soul, and spirit,
to the point that it awakens a hunger in us
that desires the Trinity,
desires fellowship,
desires the experience of the wonder
and the bliss of our union in you
more than we crave, Lord, for our food or for our water,
more than we crave for the things of this world,
but that our minds, our hearts would be set,
completely set on you,
that our hearts and our minds
will be set on heavenly realities,
that our whole being will be set
in this hunger and this desire for more of you,
that this desire craving for you
would awaken inside of us like never before.
Yeshua Messiah, I declare it awakening right now.
I declare it popping.
I declare, I just see things popping.
I see fires burning.
I see the ruach, the breath of God,
breathing and fanning into flame,
hunger and desire like never before.
And I just declare to you right now,
receive hunger, receive hunger,
receive hunger like never before.
Receive the fanning of the flame.
Receive the breath, the ruach,
the breath of the Spirit of God
as He breathes on your hunger,
as He breathes on your desire,
as He breathes on your passion for Him.
Supernatural hunger awakening in Jesus' name.
Amen, beautiful.
Hey, well, we are going deep on this journey.
And I'm so honored to be sharing it with you.
So honored to be sharing this journey with you.
Now, at the end of this video,
I'm gonna start letting you know a little bit more
about a massive opportunity that we have
with the online School of Sonship.
For those that are really hungry to go deeper,
there'll be more at the end.
I do wanna give away something tonight.
I wanna give away a couple of copies
of my book that I authored last year.
It's called The Good Father.
It's a beautiful hardcover book.
It's got amazing illustrations in it.
And I wanna give a couple of copies away to people tonight.
And so I'm gonna let you know as we go how we can do that.
But let's jump into what I've got set up behind me here
and talk about this beautiful journey, all right?
So right here, I've got two chairs, right?
You can see my two chairs.
This chair here is called The Orphan Illusion.
Say that with me, say Orphan Illusion.
I can't hear you, but that's not a sound issue.
I just repeat Orphan Illusion, okay?
Tap out Orphan Illusion.
It's really important that we get this chair
in our hearts and our spirits of what this is.
This is the Orphan Illusion, okay?
So tap it out, Orphan Illusion.
All right.
We've got a few things here that represent the orphan a couple of things that represent the orphan illusion and then over here
Oh my goodness. I love this chair guys. I love love love this seat
This is this this is the seat that we were created for
Destined for born for this my friends is the chair that represents the state of sonship
Whoa, this is the state of sonship
Oh
Wow, and I'm guessing that you guys like if you can get say yeah, I can guess where he's going with this. Okay, so here's
paint couple paintings that were done this week by one of our beautiful artists here in the channel and this
Represents the orphan illusion right so you can see it's kind of lacking in color
This sword is the sword of the spirit that's actually cracking open and escape
Out of the darkness and then this painting here
Represents the state of sonship beautiful, so we're going to be talking about two things tonight
We're going to be talking about the orphan illusion and we're going to be talking about the state of sonship
And we're going to be talking about the beautiful journey that we go on and how we actually make the transition
From the orphan illusion into the state of sonship, and we're also going to be talking about what changes is there any real difference?
Is there really what what's the value of investing ourselves completely in this journey is the value?
And and how could it change our lives, so?
Let's jump over to the orphan illusion come with me today. Here. We go the orphan illusion and let's talk about that
I
Got a same mysterious all right same mysterious. This is a mysterious piece of paper whoa
Mysterious piece of paper all will be revealed shortly
Okay, so I've got my mysterious piece of paper. I'm gonna leave it right there. This is the orphan illusion
All right
now
Let me read it. Let me read a scripture for you
That kind of highlights these two chairs in this this journey
I'll jump up here. I'll read it to you in the I'll read it to you from the amplified classic version
It's Romans 8
verse 15
Okay, Romans 8 verse 15 if you want to be reading along with me and the amplified classic for the spirit
Which you have now received
It's not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear
But you have received the spirit of
adoption the
spirit producing
Sonship in the bliss of which we cry
Abba
Father father whoa I love that so this verse here in Romans 8 15 is really
Capturing the essence of this journey from the orphan illusion
To the bliss of sonship the state of sonship
in this verse there's two different spirits mentioned all right, so there's the
spirit of
Slavery oh my goodness goodness, and then there's the spirit of sonship
All right a spirit that produces slavery, and then there's a spirit that produces sonship. Oh, so you could
This this
Orphan illusion it has something at the very core of it that actually empowers it all right
There's a root that empowers it now if we can figure out what the root is then we can figure out what its kryptonite
It's all right, and and that's what we want to talk about tonight. What's the kryptonite of the orphan illusion?
What's the kryptonite of a spirit of slavery?
what's the kryptonite of the orphan condition that will deal a death blow to the orphan condition and
Accelerate our transformation and our journey into the bliss of sonship if you want to know what the crypt
What the kryptonite is for the orphan or orphan condition or the orphan illusion things to say yes?
I want to know I want to know what the kryptonite is for the orphan illusion right stay tuned
So what is the kryptonite for the orphan illusion?
Let me jump over here to this dodgy spot
The orphan
Illusion all right what it's founded on is it's founded on the greatest issue
That humanity has ever had that was talking about this
And in the last session as well. He was talking about the fact that humanity right at the fall
It was the fall of humanity not the fall of God and one of the things that we love you know that that
it was just so obvious for us in the fall is that we as humanity had lost sight of an accurate image
an accurate blueprint of the nature of our good good papa that was the thing that humanity
struggled with more than anything else was a false image of god a corrupt image of god a defiled
image of god and this false image of god let me tell you that a false image of god all right a
false image of god a corrupt image of god is the very cornerstone of a spirit of slavery it's the
very cornerstone of the orphan illusion a false image of god and what's the kryptonite to a false
image of god the kryptonite to a false image of god is jesus because the thing that the kryptonite
that jesus carried right the kryptonite the the superpower that jesus carried that decimates and
completely annihilates the orphan illusion the essence of the kryptonite and the superpower that
jesus had to liberate humanity and bring many sons into glory and liberate us into sonship
was a revelation of the father see the the life of jesus everything about jesus the core of what
he spoke about the core of his his ministry was to redeem our lost and perverted and corrupted
and defiled image of the father jesus restored to humanity an authentic revelation a blueprint
and an authoritative expression he was the exact representation of the father how beautiful is that
he's restored to us our image now let me let me give you a little bit of an idea of how much damage
this can do if your image of the father gets corrupted and distorted like it was for some
of our church fathers then you start doing things like this all right can we see that okay what is
this this is a torture uh implement it's called the rack okay now this this this torture implement
called the rack now say now let me what do you think is this nasty if this is nasty say that's
nasty do you just in the comments describe this in your own words to me like and describe on a
nasty scale in your in your words in your comments like on a nasty scale on a one to ten how nasty
does this look like you know how how nasty is a racking all right tell me tell me what in your
words how nasty is this does this mean rude bad like in terms of manners on a manner scale or a
you know like a welcoming scale how how nasty is this okay so this rack
um this rack was actually utilized by john not that particular one but the rack was actually
utilized by john calvin one of the great theologians uh in the in church history it was
used as a torture device to torture uh people that he disagreed with or who disagreed with him
and one particular man who who thought that some of his behavior was a little bit heretical
and the fact that he would torture and execute people for having a different belief uh one man
called him a hypocrite and said you know really what you're doing it is a bit hypocritical uh
john calvin had him racked all right so tortured to the extreme and then executed now what do i
want to associate that with i want to associate behavior like that with the orphan illusion all
right when we have a false image of who the father is it leads us into all sorts of darkness okay so
what does the orphan illusion look like let me come with me come with me in a journey
kind of into my past and kind of into the darkness of humanity and where we spend so much of our
existence you know this is where so much of humanity lives but the orphan illusion i don't
even like sitting in this seat right i don't even like sitting in the seat because this orphan
illusion you know it represents so many things you know it it represents a place where we have a
really a corrupt image of who god is so god is a monster to us like he might not exist or he might
be a monster he he's unkind he's this really uh he's a nasty being and oh my goodness uh
so and then so when we're in this place of having a corrupt image of the nature of god we end up
having a corrupt image of our very own identity um we start believing that we have a sinful nature
that shadow cult that matt talked about starts coming alive all these false identities start
taking on more and more
False identities have more weight to us
than who God says we truly are.
Inadequacy starts fueling up on the inside of us.
It's a huge sense of inadequacy.
Now, the moment that we believe we're inadequate in any way,
it produces a shame on the inside of us,
and that shame leads to condemnation,
and that shame and condemnation builds up,
and it drives us into a place of isolation.
So this world starts having all these walls up
and all this disconnection up,
and we start being, the fear in our own heart
and the shame in our own heart
of our own sense of inadequacy and unworthiness
drives us to isolate.
That's exactly what Adam and Eve did, isn't it?
They isolated.
Let me know if you've ever isolated.
Let me know if you've ever put up a wall.
If you've put up a wall, what have you put up a wall for?
Okay, this is one of the things that I'm gonna give away,
a book on this point here.
Let me know one of the reasons why you've isolated.
I'm gonna go through and read the comments later,
and when you're watching this
and when you're reading the comments after,
whoever tells me a story of a reason they've isolated,
whichever story has the most likes, why have you isolated?
Then just, whichever one has the most likes
in two days' time, I will send you a book, all right?
I'll send you a copy of The Good Father.
Why have you isolated?
I've isolated for so many reasons.
For me, it was my secret sin, all right?
When I was a child, I was involved in,
it was not even crazy stuff.
I just remember as a child being involved
in doctors and nurses and kind of running around
with some of the neighborhood kids
and being naked and just crazy little things,
not that big a deal really, but you know what?
For me, it became a place of deep, secret shame
that was one of the sources of my greatest sins
of inadequacy, so I kept that hidden.
I isolated, I hid it from God.
I hid parts of myself from God,
and I put up these walls where no one could come
into different parts of my heart,
and so I had, it builds up trust issues and isolation,
and ultimately, I live in a love deficit,
so we end up finding that the orphan illusion
is a place of a massive love deficit,
and then also, it's a place where we feel like
we're not gonna get provision,
and so there's fear and stress and worry and anxiety,
which leads to this crazy place, right?
It leads to this crazy place of emotional dysfunctions.
It leads to this place of insecurity,
which leads to crazy behavioral dysfunctions,
so we have all this dysfunction going on.
Let me know if you've ever experienced these dysfunctions.
What dysfunction have you experienced
on the emotional side of things,
on the behavioral side of things?
This is what drives us into addiction.
This is what drives us into these crazy,
insecurity-driven behaviors.
Ultimately, this place is a place of deep separation
and disconnection from God, a place of deep inadequacy,
a place of deep shame, and a place of deep fear.
Now, the beautiful thing is, right,
that this is an illusion.
Say illusion, illusion, because the truth is
that none of us are defined by inadequacy.
We are not defined by inadequacy.
That is not who we are, all right?
We have one definition.
We are exclusively defined by the Trinity.
Let me read to you, actually, I'm gonna read to you
a section from John 17 that directly relates
to this beautiful journey that we're going on,
and then we're gonna leap into it.
Okay, verse 20 through to 26.
Join with me.
So that's John 17, verses 20 to 26.
My prayer is not for them alone.
I pray also for those who will believe in me
through their message, that all of them may be one,
Father, just as you are in me, and I am in you.
May they also be in us, so that the world may believe
that you have sent me.
I have given them the glory that you gave me,
that they may be one as we are one.
I in them, and you in me, so that they may be brought
to complete unity.
Then the world will know that you sent me,
and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Father, I want those who have given me to be with me,
and to see my glory, the glory you have given me
because you loved me before the creation of the world.
Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,
I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
I have made you known to them, and I will continue
to reveal you to them, in order that the love
that you have for me may be in them,
and that I myself may be in them.
Oh my goodness, I love this.
It's beautiful, and it starts catching the essence
of the state of sonship.
Now, this state of sonship is absolutely,
I mean, you cannot.
Yet, listen, we cannot get better,
there cannot be a better quality of life
than the state of sonship, all right?
Now, the orphan illusion is called,
I call it an illusion for good reasons
because it's not present reality.
Say present reality.
This is the great thing about our journey into sonship
is that it's not works-based, okay?
Say that, say it's not works-based.
It is not performance-based acceptance.
It is not a performance-based identity.
It is not performance-based intimacy.
It is simply waking up to the present reality.
Let me tell you something about you.
You're exclusively defined by the Trinity.
You are seamlessly one with the Trinity right now.
And this is what Matt was sharing about today
and what Thomas Merton was writing about.
It's the waking up, it's the waking up
to the present reality of who we are.
The sinful nature that people talk about.
Now, when I was in church,
I'm gonna come back to this.
First of all, I'm gonna go back over here.
I'm gonna talk more about this chair of sonship.
This chair of sonship, this state of sonship,
this is what we were designed for, all right?
We were designed for this.
In John 17, 22, it says,
I have given them the same glory.
That's a past tense, so it's already happened.
He's talking about a present reality for you and I.
I have given them the same glory that the Father gave me.
Oh my goodness.
So we're exclusively defined by Him.
And when we wake up to the present reality that,
you know what, you don't even have a sinful nature.
That's what Romans 6 and Colossians 2 says.
It says that it was crucified in the cross,
it was buried in the grave,
and you were resurrected to newness of life.
Colossians 2 says it was circumcised from you.
It was buried in the grave,
and goes on from Colossians 2 to Colossians 3, it says,
no, your life is hidden with God in Christ Jesus.
Wow, your life is hidden with God in Christ Jesus.
So this chair of sonship, this state of sonship,
it is what we were created for.
It was what we were designed for.
It is a place of effortless union.
Union.
It is a place of effortless identity, effortless bliss.
Romans 8, 15 says that the spirit producing sonship,
it produces bliss.
Wow, it produces ecstasy.
And I want to say that to know the Father,
to know the Trinity is to know bliss,
to know the Trinity is to know ecstasy,
it's to know awe, it's to know divine wonder,
it's to know divine union.
So here we are, in this place of the state of sonship,
what we have is a place of being exclusively defined
by the Trinity, that's you and I.
There's no, look, there's no life experience
that we've ever been through
that has authority to redefine that,
which Christ has already defined in his image.
And you and I, there is nothing we can go through in life.
There's no life experiences,
there's no words that can be spoken to you,
no defiling action that can happen to you,
no sense of, no trauma, no abuse, no failure,
nothing that we go through in life
has any authority to redefine that,
which has already been exclusively defined by the Trinity.
Oh my goodness, and when we wake up to this, right,
when we wake up to the present reality
that we're already exclusively defined by the Trinity,
here's what happens.
One, the sense of inadequacy that lives here.
This is a place where inadequacy lives and breathes.
The orphan illusion, inadequacy lives and breathes,
separation lives and breathes.
That's what the normal is here.
Now, John 17, 22, Jesus said,
I have given them the same glory
that the Father gave me, for a reason, right?
If we don't understand this reason,
if we don't understand this reason,
then we will always live with separation
in the midst of inclusion.
You're already as one with the Trinity
as one can be.
You're already as in as in can be.
And I wanna tell you that we do not have to live
even for one moment ever with the slightest,
with the slightest sense of inadequacy,
with the slightest sense of separation,
with the slightest sense of condemnation.
It doesn't have to exist.
Here's how John 17, 22 works.
Jesus said, I have given them the same glory
that the Father gave me,
that they may be one as we are one.
Now, he's, first of all, makes an identity statement.
I've given them the same glory
that the Father gave me.
That speaks about our identity.
The Greek word is doxa.
It means substance, essence.
You could value.
You could definitely substitute the word identity
in there as well.
So what I've got here.
is water, water here and oil here, alright? Two different docks. So oil has the docks
of oil and water has the docks of water. And here's what happens when you try and mix water
and oil. Let me shake this up. Okay, we're shaking it. We're shaking it! Say shaking
it. I hope you're doing well. If you're tracking with me, I hope this is good, alright? I hope
you are loving this. So, John 17, 22, I have given them the same glory that the Father
gave me, that they may be one as we are one. But look at what's happening to this, look
at what's happening to this water and oil right here. Now, look, I shook it up, right?
I shook it up, but water and oil have a default setting. They have a default setting, alright?
Look, now phones, I have to adjust the settings, the default settings on my phones and my computer
and things like that. We all have to adjust those default settings. But listen, when
you believe that you're defined by anything else apart from the Trinity, your default
setting will be separation. And that's why we cannot endorse a sense of inadequacy in
any way. Look, the default setting is separation. If we believe we're defined by anything other
than the Trinity, the default setting is separation. And that separation, oh my goodness, that's
a place of darkness, loneliness, despair, chaos. It's a place of total dysfunction.
But what Jesus was talking about is that he's given us the same glory that the Father gave
him, which means we're the same substance. So look at the separation in this. There is
no separation. We are seamlessly one with the nature of God. This is who we are. We
are as one as one can be, we are as in as in can be. We are substance for substance,
essence for essence, likeness for likeness, glory for glory, doxa for doxa. We are exclusively
defined by the Trinity and seamlessly one with the Trinity. That's what John 17 is talking
about. I've given you the same glory that the Father gave me, that you may be one as
we are one. How beautiful is that? All right, now here's the thing. Here's the thing. I
really didn't understand that. I don't know how many times I've read that. I had no clue
about that. My world didn't work like that at all, right? So in this place of the state
of sonship, everything is different to this place of the orphan illusion. When I lived
in the orphan illusion, I thought everything was about performance. And to me, my whole
world lived out of that place of performance. One of the first things that God started working
on with me was performance-based acceptance. I thought, man, there is no way that God...
What happened is I read this verse in John 17, 23, and I had a real problem with it.
Let's go there. I in them, and you in me, so that they may be brought to complete unity.
Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved
me. Oh my goodness. Now, first of all, when I got to the end of reading that, I thought
to myself, that is absolute rubbish. I mean, I don't know how many times I've read it before,
but this particular day when I read it, it gripped me and everything in me disagreed
with it. I was like, that is total rubbish because everything that I know about love
is performance-based acceptance. And when I looked at Jesus' performance, he was a 10
out of 10, and I was less than a one out of 10. I was less than a one out of 10 on the
performance scale. And so my natural association, my natural conclusion is that Jesus is worthy
of 10 out of 10 love, and I'm not worthy, I wouldn't even be worthy of 1 out of 10 love.
So my understanding is that the Father loved Jesus so much more than the measure, the portion
of divine love available for Jesus was 10 out of 10, but for me, it was less than a
one out of 10. Thank you, Jesus, that you wrestled performance-based acceptance out
of my belief system, and to the point where I actually finally came into agreement with
that verse, John 17, 23, and I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm as loved right now as Jesus.
I'm as loved by the Father right now as Jesus is loved by the Father. Now that's just a
gift, that's just the nature of God. You know, I talked about in the first video, I talked
about the divine dance. Oh my gosh, if you remember that, give me a thumbs up on the
divine dance. The divine dance, the limitless measure of divine love, this infinite form.
of love that we will never be able to contain, we'll never be able to explore
or fathom the full depth or measure of this infinite divine love, this infinite
bliss and ecstasy and delight that the Trinity has for us. Well it was in this
process that I discovered I didn't have to work for it, I didn't have to earn it
which I never thought I was worthy of it, I never thought I could ever step into
it, but he broke that orphan illusion, he broke that off me and he started to
break off and shift my image of God and one of my big misperceptions of the
nature of God is that he has a mindset of a performance-based acceptance that
simply is not true, his nature is love and right now, honestly right now, whether
you are having your worst day or whether you're having your best day, you're
exclusively defined by him and you are perfectly loved by him. See our identity
isn't a performance-based identity either. This rocked me too
because I had always associated my identity with the things that I'd done,
with the things that have been said about me, with my successes, with my
failures, with my traumas, with my secret sin, those were the things for me that
defined my identity. Then something radical happened, I read Psalm 139
verse 14 and while I was reading it, I mean it says, all your works are
wonderful, I know that full well and I thought to myself, what? All your works
are wonderful? I thought, that sounds so proud and so arrogant, I said, oh my
goodness, how can I go, could I? And I thought to myself, this is where my
head went, I was like, wouldn't it be proud if I got a t-shirt
and printed on it, I'm wonderful and went around wearing that? I wanted to
extrapolate out, you know, where this thing was going, what this would mean. I
was like, if I got a t-shirt that said, I'm wonderful and I wore that, wouldn't
that be proud and arrogant? I was having this dialogue with God and he said to me,
humility is simply to agree with God. Wow. So when he said that, oh my goodness,
everything changed, you know, because before that, my religious lifestyle had
been brought up with a bipolar schizophrenic identity because one day
people would tell me that I had a sinful nature, right? You've got the sinful
nature, you've got this dark side to who you are, you've got this flesh that's
corrupted and defiled and utterly depraved and I was like, oh my goodness,
there's the dark part of me, there's some sinful nature on the inside of me,
there's some corrupt dynamic to who I am and then the next day they'd tell me,
you're the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and I was literally like a
spiritual bipolar, spiritual schizophrenic because one day I'd have this raging
sinful nature which was this huge beast that I had to try and battle and often
so unsuccessfully rage against this illusion of a sinful nature and I
want to say that the orphan illusion is such a great way to put it because it is
an illusion. The sinful nature is an illusion that is only empowered by
believing a lie. The orphan illusion is just an
illusion. Separation is an illusion. The sinful nature is an illusion. All the
references to the sinful nature, Romans 6 and Colossians 2, are that it has been
put to death, circumcised. The sinful nature is a false identity, alright? The
only reason we can ever have a sinful nature, the only way that we could ever
create the illusion of a sinful nature that could actually operate, that
could become an entity that operated through our life, is if we came to the
false conclusion that we were defined by anything other than the Trinity but that
simply is not true. John 17, 22, we have been given past tense already. It's as
done as done can be, my friends. This is the grace of God and this is
not just the grace of God but the very character of the Father, the very
nature of the Father, that from the very beginning, it was out of the
divine dance, out of this extreme love for us that the Trinity conceived
humanity for this purpose of participating effortlessly in the bliss
and the ecstasy and the awe and the wonder of divine fellowship. Effortless,
as a default setting, as effortless as water connects with water, alright? That's
our default setting is union because we're created from the same substance. So
he said to me, humility is simply to agree with God and boom, when that
happened, listen guys, that changed everything. I all of a sudden started to
go, oh my goodness, if God said he made me in his image, glory for glory, substance
for substance, likeness for likeness, essence for essence, that means I'm
Exclusively defined by the Trinity and listen, I was like, oh my goodness when I discovered that you know
He's not a god of performance based acceptance, but that he loves us all
Extravagantly perfectly right now. Listen, we're as loved as love can be doesn't matter if it's your best day
It doesn't matter if it's your worst day
It doesn't matter if this is the very first time you're hearing about the love of your father in heaven for you
You right now are as loved as love can be for God
So love the world that even in our darkness you while we were still enemies God
Reconciled us to himself
Romans 5 verse 8 says but God demonstrates his own love for us in this that while we were still
Good sinners while we were still falsely defined by illusions
But while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Oh
My goodness his love is an unconditional love and when I discovered it's
Unconditional love right? There's no performance based acceptance that changed everything because it helped me see the nature of the father
That is who he is rather than this false corrupt image
I had of the father here who he judges us by our performance as to how loved we are
He judges us by a performance as to you know
What our identity will be and he judges us by our performance as to how close we will be to him. But listen
Performance based acceptance
is a lie
identity based
Performance based identity is a lie performance based
Intimacy is a lie. Those are all lies the
Absolute illusions and that's the nature of the orphan illusion
From these false
Convictions we live from these false
Definitions of false images of the father as though he's some corrupt monster God and false
Understandings of our own identity
Listen when Jesus restores to us the blueprint of our divine design what he restores at the same time is he?
restores to us the blueprint of our
He when he restores the image of the father to us that we we get restored from this corrupt
Broken defiled image of God that we take from so many other life experiences
We come to so many false conclusions about who the father is
Well, Jesus turns up and he is the kryptonite to every false image of who the father is and he restores the father
It is the perfection and the wonder of who he is restores to us the image of a loving father and when that happens we
simultaneously
Rediscover the blueprint of our own divine design. They're exclusively defined by him
Then literally everything changes, you know, we come into this place the state of sunshine where we transition
listen, we transition from
Struggling all the time trying to do enough and I remember for myself
I remember just this rap
This is gonna hence the wheel of performance right wake up every day and I try and do enough and I you know
What before breakfast time I'd usually stuffed it up
So I'd heat condemnation on myself as though condemnation would encourage me to do better and it didn't
Condemnation is not a good encourager
And I just lived in the sense of shame and disconnection and isolation
and actually at this camp that I went to I played this game where there's a tree and
Attached to the tree is a bungee cord and everyone would tie themselves to this bungee cord and everyone would strive and press and
Struggle and see who could get furthest from the tree and then ultimately everyone at the bungee cord would eventually bring everyone back
I mean and everyone would end up back at the tree
That's exactly what
Performance based acceptance was like for me. I would I spent years
Struggling trying to try to earn my identity struggling trying to earn acceptance struggling trying to earn intimacy
And so I discovered that oh my gosh
Sorry guys, we had a momentary interruption. Give me a thumbs up if you can hear me, man
Give me a thumbs up if you can hear me and you're doing all right, so
You guys if you guys are hearing me primo we're on a roll here
So that's where I was. I was living in this place. I
Lived years. Can you relate to this guys if you can relate to this give me an amen
Give me a give me a thumbs up that you can relate to what it's look like like
You know what it look what it feels like to live in this orphan illusion
Let me know if you know what if you know that same pain
That I went through for years and years and years of feeling
Not enough feeling like there was something intrinsically wrong with me and having my own
Assumptions that I was not good enough endorsed from the pulpit
But see I what all these people would lie to me from the pulpit
and say there was something, there was totally depraved about my identity,
there was something about me that was intrinsically defiled and corrupt.
Let me know if you can relate to that pain that I had for year
after year, struggling with it and not succeeding, struggling
with the sense of shame, and you know what, I wanted freedom, but I was being told
that I would always be a sinner, I was being told that I had a sinful nature
and you know what, it bound me, it bound me to this orphan illusion.
I was told that if you draw near to God, He will draw near to you
and that's what I was doing with this attempt
of living my life in the hamster wheel of performance, trying to do enough
to be accepted by Him, trying to do enough to be intimate, that intimacy
was this prize that was way, way, way off in the horizon
and it was realistically in my heart
it was something that seemed impossible. This concept of being perfectly loved
by Him was a beautiful prize on the horizon, but it somehow
seemed impossible and unreachable. There was this
there was this hope that one day I might be enough
as an individual, but because of this contaminating
defiling sinful nature I had, it was a far off hope that was probably never
going to be possible. So I lived
instead of living with sonship, I lived in this place of constant separation
I lived in this place of this darkness of constant shame, this darkness of
condemnation, this darkness of isolation, this darkness of secret
sins and addictions and defilements alive on the inside
of me. I want to say thank you Jesus
when I discovered that the present reality is John 17
23, that He has loved us with the same love, that same fiery
infinite wonderful love that
just burns on full
fire of His love, it burns at full intensity, it always burns at full volume
it burns with this infinite dynamic, it's a perpetual
burning, a perpetual love. When I discovered John 17
23 that I'm as loved as love can be right now, oh my gosh, it helped me transition
so it put to death performance based acceptance. The other thing that happened
is John 17 22
I discovered that I was made in His image, that He's
given me the same glory that the Father gave Him. I
discovered, and this is something that for so
many Christians, to say that you're perfect is a struggle, to say that you
have no sinful nature is a struggle, but I want to say that Psalm 139
14 says all His works are wonderful and
humility is simply to agree with God my friends, the most humble thing that
you could do right now, the most powerful thing that you could do
right now is just to come into perfect alignment, perfect agreement
with who Jesus revealed the Father to be, that He is as perfect a Daddy
as there could ever be, that He is as loving a Father, He is
an infinite loving Father, an infinite loving
which means His love goes on and on and on and it's as strong today
as it ever was, His love for you is as strong today as it was before the foundation
of the world, when He conceived you in the fire of His love, when
out of this burning love that the Trinity had for humanity, when they
conceived you out of that, boom, His love is just as strong as ever
Now here's something that I want to give away another book
I just want to have someone just share, in the comments
just share love encounters that you've had with the Father and just check those out
read other people's ones, whichever one has the most likes in a couple of days
I'll get in touch with you and I'll send you a beautiful hard copy
cover of the book The Good Father, but love encounters
oh my gosh, I ended up having thousands of love encounters, thousands of love
encounters, and then this illusion of separation got broken off
John 17, 22, I've given them the same glory
that the Father gave me, that they may be one as we are one, and I want to tell you
that when we embrace the power of humility
that simply agrees with the truth
now the truth is a present reality, it's John 8, 12
in John 8, 12 Jesus says, anyone
who follows me will never walk in darkness
but they will have the light of life, He starts out saying, I
am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk
in darkness, but will have the light of life
what does he do, he starts out making an identity statement, I am the
light of the world, he doesn't geographically go anywhere, he just makes that statement
I am the light of the world, and then after that he says, whoever
follows me, and that follow is not a geographical follow
that follow is following Jesus, and thinking about Him
self, the same as we think about ourselves. Matthew 5.14 he says, you are the light of the world.
This is an identity statement. When we become fully persuaded that we're exclusively defined
by him, when we become fully persuaded that we are the light of the world, we're made from the
very same glory that defines the Father, the nature of the divine nature. They shared that
with us. They created us from the divine nature. We're exclusively defined by the Trinity. When we
come into agreement with that right now, that you are, listen, you're perfect. You're perfect.
And something that's been so powerful for me in helping to understand this, one is understanding
that humility is simply to agree with God. If he says he made you in his image, then oh my gosh,
you're exclusively defined by him. The other thing that we have an issue with is that we
do something that God doesn't do, is that we weld our performance with our identity and we
let our performance define our identity. But I tell you what, God doesn't do that with our
performance. He just doesn't operate like that. That's how it is for him. Your identity is your
identity and your behavior is a separate thing. So for God, your behavior doesn't dictate your
identity. This is really, it's so important because we will never get free from performance-based
identity if we think that our performance influences our identity. Your performance,
my beautiful friend, has nothing to do with your identity. Oh my gosh, if that's good news, give me
a thumbs up that your performance does not, scripturally, biblically, your performance does
not dictate your identity because your identity is a present reality. It's not a shadow that it
comes or goes or changes in any way. Your identity is a present reality. Oh, this is so, so empowering.
Your inclusion, your oneness in the Trinity, it's a present reality. It's as present a reality as the
nature of God. Your performance doesn't and cannot impact or change the divine nature.
And just as your performance cannot impact or change the divine nature, your performance cannot
impact or change your own nature. One of the beautiful things that happened in the life of
Christ is that He was, He was the fullness of the divine and the fullness of humanity and He welded
together humanity with divinity and demonstrated for us that to be fully human is to be fully
divine. We're made in His image. Now the beautiful thing for me that changed everything is I was
making so little progress and I was striving in my own strength. When everything was, when I lived in
this orphan illusion here and everything was about works and my effort and my performance and my
ability to struggle, to wrestle, to pray enough, to do enough, when everything depended on me,
it was a world of darkness and chaos.
I just cannot express enough gratitude or thankfulness, you know, because it also didn't work.
You know, when I was in this place, I worked really, really hard and I got no results or very, very few
results. I would, I would strive. It would be like I was on this hamster wheel of performance or like
this activity. We used to have the can, we had the bungee cord here and we'd attach and everyone would
try, try, try. We would strain, we would give everything we could to get as far away from the tree as possible,
but then eventually the bungee cord always won. Boom! And everyone ended up back, ended up back
at the tree and that was isolation and that was what it was like for me. Just year after year after
year and I would always end up back at the tree. I would always end up in that place of isolation
until I discovered these secrets that enable us to step, to transition, that
that enable us to step, to transition, that the performance-based acceptance doesn't exist
in the heart of the Father. Right now you are as loved, as loved, as loved as you could ever be,
as loved as He has ever loved anyone. That right now you're exclusively defined by the Trinity,
John 17, 22. He's given you the same glory that the Father gave Him and when you discover that,
you step into John 8, 12, that whoever follows me will never walk in darkness. It's a sinless
existence. On top of that, they will have the light of life. That word have in the Greek is
the word echo that it literally means they will, they will echo. It means to hold in the hand,
to possess.
to wear like a garment, and to echo, to resonate.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
but will hold in their hands, will wear like a garment,
and will echo the same frequency, the same resonance.
They will have the light of life,
and that Greek word, in closing,
that Greek word life, it's the word zoe,
and it refers to the exact same state of being
as the Trinity, oh my goodness.
That is supposed to be our default setting.
When we discover our sonship,
our primary emotion becomes delight,
our default setting becomes seamless union,
our default setting becomes excessive,
extravagant amounts of bliss, and ecstasy,
and divine delight, and divine love, oh my goodness.
I step into that place of mature sonship
that looks like the ability, it looks like the ability,
we're so free, we're so vulnerable,
we're so known, we're so exposed,
we're just so open that we can live in this place
where we receive divine love perfectly,
and give perfect expression to divine love.
Beautiful, my friends.
Well, I just wanna say that it's been an honor
to have you with me tonight,
and it's been an honor to share this journey of sonship
with so many people, people all over the world,
