Hello, hello, hello, family.
Hope you are doing great.
Let me just check out what's going on here in my little world.
Ah, there we go.
There we go.
I had the old camera flipped around the wrong way.
How are you guys doing?
Hope you're doing amazing.
And can you just give me a thumbs up?
I'm pretty sure everything should be flying pretty sweetly.
I'm doing a slightly different setup today.
I'm excited about coming to you live right now.
And what have we got there?
Got a little bit of an interesting background.
I'm trying out a sweet new little setup at the moment.
I've changed to a Samsung, and I've got both a Samsung phone and an iPhone.
And there's some positives to both, and there's some drawbacks to both.
And so I'm trying this out.
Now, one little thing that might help me out as we get set up here.
So, welcome, by the way.
And if you're joining live or delayed, it is always a delight to have you just comment,
say that you're there, give a thumbs up.
That lets me know that everything's working sweet.
You can see and you can hear what's going on.
We are going to be talking about the greatest strategic commander in the world history today,
which is going to be fun.
So that's cool.
I'm just going to try something here as well.
Logging on to Facebook on my laptop at the same time to see if I can see you guys on there too.
All right.
Checking one thing here.
All right.
Christine.
Hey, Christine's there.
Good to see you.
Give me one little fist bump, Christine.
Give me a thumbs up.
Everything's going good.
You can hear me.
Boom.
Okay.
Primo.
So here we are.
We're going to launch.
Let me pray for you for a moment.
Jesus, in John 5.19, you said you do only what you see the Father doing.
And there is no greater strategy than being able to do what we see the Father doing.
So Jesus, we ask that you give us eyes like you had perspective, like you had vision,
like you had motivation, like you had strategy, like you had strategic plans, like you had.
We ask that you show us what the Father's doing.
We ask that, Papa, we're asking, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Trinity, we're asking that we could have the same heart,
the same mindset, the same vision, mindset and vision that Jesus had that enabled him to do only what he saw the Father doing.
Give us eyes to see and give us strategies from heaven like never before that expedite the process of breakthrough,
that expedite the process of stepping into Ephesians 3.20, of stepping into unprecedented success,
of stepping into the fruition of our wildest dreams.
Father, we give you glory and honor for everything you're doing in our lives,
and we are so outrageously delighted and grateful and thankful for all that you're doing.
We just say we love you, we welcome you into our hearts, we welcome you into our worlds,
we welcome you into our focus package templates and our dreaming and our scheming and our disciplines
and everything we welcome you in to be seamlessly one with us, to be divinity fused with humanity,
to be walking this journey out perfectly together.
And as we go, Jesus, we just ask afresh, give us your eyes like never before. Amen.
Beautiful. Right. Oh, guys, hey, so cool to be on this journey.
Thanks so much for sending in the photos that you're sending in.
Thanks for the photos that are coming in. I'm loving those photos. They are fantastic.
It's just really, really cool seeing what's happening for you.
And wow. Awesome. Neater.
Crushing the 200.
Christine on the guitar, Marion selling a house, dating all your grandchildren,
Renita going on dates and surfing and so many people doing amazing things.
Phil running a marathon, David training for an ultra marathon.
Wow guys, I can't list all the things that you are doing but they
are exceptional, keep them coming, loving the stories,
loving the heart, it is brilliant, so keep on posting those.
The aim this week is to smash out 21 disciplines.
As I chatted with someone about that this morning that's doing the package,
they said actually I do a lot of these disciplines already,
it's just helping me to be intentional and also helping squeeze out a few more
intentional disciplines into the week.
Oh Mike as well, CrossFit three times a week, that was a great photo, I loved
that and also loved your investors meeting.
Beautiful stuff guys, keep those photos coming.
I bet you're on the edge of the seat, I'm going to check one more thing, just
today is a new, slightly new system right there.
So bear with me for, bear with me for one moment
as I just double check that everything's going
sweetly on your end. I want to make sure, I always want to make sure that you guys
are hearing me well, you're seeing me well and
and this will help me do that. So Christine can you hear me, you're
there, just give me a wave Christine.
Primo, all right, okay, okay, okay.
All right, I tried something, I think it didn't work what I was trying.
Here we go, going to get into this right away, we are going to launch
into the greatest strategic planner, the greatest strategic commander of all
time, his name, his name, are you ready for it?
Well he got his name, he got his name as the result of a victory
of a battle that was fought in 331 BC.
331 BC, this battle was fought and this battle that the greatest
commander in the history of the world was fighting,
hi Bex, good to see you, this battle was the Battle of
Kingdoms, all right, it was a battle for nations
and kingdoms, there was a lot riding on this battle, it was a huge moment, it was
fought on
in October, let me just jam in with you guys,
okay, so it was fought in October the 1st, 331 BC,
the Battle of Golgamela, now there was a lot riding on this moment, this moment
had nations and kingdoms riding, literally two
of the great kingdoms of the world were coming together and it was a
collision was about to happen between the two greatest kingdoms, so
it was the emperor of Persia, Darius, he ruled one of the greatest
empires in the history of the world, he'd taken it over with his amazing army
and then you had Alexander, now Alexander was the
ruler of the Greek army, the Macedonian army
and they really had a much smaller force,
initially what happened is there'd actually been a battle before this
where Alexander conquered a small force from
the Persian empire and in the process of conquering the small force took captive
a wife and daughter of Darius, the king of Persia,
after he captured him, sorry, captured them,
captured the wife and daughter of Darius, Darius
tried to make a peace deal with Alexander and
he made a crazy offer, right, because Darius is the
ruler of one of the greatest empires that has ever existed
and the offer that he made him was, I'll give you up to half of my
kingdom if you'll give me back my family and if we can settle and come to terms
and reach a peace agreement, here's what Alexander said back to him, Alexander
said, well
a different idea for you. Everything that you have is now mine, come out and fight for it.
What a bold message for one of the greatest rulers in the natural, one of the greatest rulers
in the history of the world. So that's what he said to him, he said everything you own is now
mine, come out and fight for it. So that really riled up Darius and so he brought out one of the,
he just brought out this enormous force to battle Alexander. His force was somewhere
roughly at least between 200 and 250,000 men. Some people say it was greater but it was somewhere
between in that vicinity of around 200 and 250,000 men according to a number of experts
that Darius brought to the battlefield to take on Alexander. Now Alexander had less than 50,000 men,
he had about 47,000 warriors, he had about 40,000 warriors and about 7,000 cavalry.
And on this fateful ominous day they literally, if Alexander lost there was nothing at all stopping
Darius from going through and completely wiping out all of Greece and taking over Greece entirely.
But at the same time if Alexander could conquer, if Alexander could conquer Darius he would become
the brand new ruler of the greatest empire on the planet. So it was a huge moment and the battle took
place at a place called Galgamela and on that day what actually happened is with this, I mean can
you think, can you imagine this for a moment, this is a huge moment. Alexander is outnumbered by at
least 150,000 men, if not 200,000 men, if not over 200,000 men. So Alexander is completely
outrageously outnumbered by Darius. All the odds are stacked against him right, all the odds are
completely outrageously stacked against Alexander. Alexander turns up with his 47,000 men
and here's what happened, they absolutely decimated Darius and his army. Alexander and his men killed
somewhere around 50,000 men that day, just in one day. I mean you're talking, that's nearly as many
men as the Americans lost in the whole, in the entire of the Vietnam war. Alexander's men wiped
out nearly that many men from Darius's army just in one day and they only lost somewhere around a
thousand men of their own. Okay, wow, this is, that's intense, that's craziness. Okay, so they
absolutely decimated them, they routed them, Darius escaped but Darius was later on killed by some of
his own men after the battle. Okay, this is crazy, this is, I mean, what is going on? Let me tell you
something about Alexander. In the whole history of Alexander, he was never once defeated. There's not
a single battle that Alexander was defeated in. He, every single battle he went up in, it didn't
matter if he was outnumbered outrageously, it didn't matter if someone else had the high ground,
if someone else had this, if someone else had that, he always managed to outmaneuver them. He
always came up with a greater strategy that overcame impossible odds every single time he
came. He just came up with a better strategy than anyone else could come up with and as a result,
he was victorious every single time. By the age of 32, he had conquered the entire known world.
Oh my gosh, can you imagine that? What tenacity, what huge passion, what massive drive. By the age
of 32, he conquered pretty much, he conquered the entire known world pretty much. He was
the ruler of one of the greatest kingdoms ever, ever on the planet and following this, he actually,
you know, he didn't get conquered even then. He actually died at around age 34. Some people
say he was poisoned, some people say it was like a malaria type mosquito virus, but either way,
he died at around age 34, but by the time he was 34, he'd already conquered the entire known world.
Oh my goodness. Righto, time to land this. I am putting up template number five today. Template
number five is the strategic planner. Now here's the thing that one of the lessons that we can
learn from Alexander is that it does not matter what the odds are. It does not matter what the
odds are. If you've got a superior strategy, you can be
victorious every time, the odds are irrelevant. It really does not matter what
odds you're facing. You don't have enough this, you don't have enough this, or the
enemy has this, the enemy has this, the opposition has this, the opposition has
this, the odds stacked against you are this and this and this. It doesn't matter if
you have got a superior strategy. Everything that is aligned against you
will crumble. Now that's one of the things I love about John 5 19. Jesus said
I do only what I see the Father doing. So as you engage in the strategic plan
I want to really encourage you to go into with that mindset that Jesus had
in John 5 19 that where he said I do only what I see the Father doing. Make
this time of strategy a supernatural strategy session with the Trinity. Make
it a time of supernatural planning. Make it a time of supernatural strategy.
You're getting strategies from heaven. You're not just just thinking according
to your own mind. You're not just taking it casually. But no, engage with the
Spirit of God and you will actually discover that there's strategies that
will enable you to become invincible. Strategies that will enable you to
overcome, be victorious regardless of your situations, regardless of your
circumstances. There is a strategy from heaven that will set you up for victory
every time. Boom! That's it. That's it for today. I hope you guys have been blessed.
I'm excited to see more of your photos coming out this week as well. Let's hit
those 21 disciplines this week. Take photos of them. I'm loving seeing them.
I've got a couple more to put up as well. I've got one more fun one from today from
my fellowship thing. So I'm going to put that up. I'm about to put the strategic
planner template up now too. So that is going to go up live under the files.
Remember, if you ever want to watch any of the videos from the trainings, the
videos are under announcements. And the files, so the templates, they're under
files. Just click the files tab. Boom! There's all the templates. You can
download them, print them, get stuck into them. It is time for you to start engaging
with heavenly strategies that are going to unleash your wildest dreams.
Listen, it's Jesus' plan. It's Jesus' desire to see you living in Ephesians 320,
the fulfillment of your wildest dreams. The dreams that exceed and go above and
beyond what you could have ever asked, dreamed, or imagined. So it's Jesus' plan.
There's no one more passionate about you stepping into unprecedented success than
Jesus. There's no one more passionate about seeing you live the Ephesians 320
lifestyle than Jesus. And I want to promise you that Jesus, the Trinity, they
are passionate about sharing with you their invincible strategies that will
unlock your wildest dreams. Let's do this together. So excited for you. Bless you.
Have a wonderful week. I'm putting that template up in the next few minutes. And
be blessed as you go. I'd love to hear some of your strategies coming up. I'd
love to hear what God downloads to you. You guys have an awesome, awesome week.
And I'll see you again. When will it be? We might we might go for an early
morning one on Friday, okay? So I know Simon is keen for an early morning live.
Si, if you're watching this, boom! I'm gonna come for you on Friday morning
with an early morning live. Should suit your schedule if you are awake or not
out on some boat in the middle of the ocean harvesting mussels. Bless you guys.
Catch you soon. Have an amazing week once again. See you.
