I'd like to be going live again.
This is session four in the three-day Royal Challenge.
So welcome, welcome, a massive Royal welcome to everyone.
It is so good to have you here.
Now I'm gonna quickly check the tech like we always do.
And as we are jumping in here,
why don't you let me know
what's been standing out for you so far
in this process in our three-day Royal Challenge.
What's been a value, what's been impacting
and what's been touching your life?
Beautiful.
So this session, session four is gonna be wild.
Get ready, say get ready, get ready, get ready
because this is going to be a phenomenal session
and we are going to be learning how to,
we're gonna be learning how to build in the spirit.
We're gonna unleash the science of dreams and it's all on.
Right, last little bit of the tech.
Boom, sorted.
Okay, beautiful.
So I've got a question for you.
The question for you as we jump on here.
So my first question for you as we go,
as we launch into this is,
isn't God's dream like pretty massive?
As we checked out that God's dream in the last session,
wasn't, isn't it a massive dream?
I just think it's wild.
So let me know, you know, is God's dream massive?
Let me ask you, you know, as we looked at the God's dream
of discipling nations, is it too big?
Has God just pushed the envelope
just a little bit too far?
I've got a really nice lemon honey drink here
that my wife made me, so good.
Oh, amazing.
Hey, so what do you,
do you agree or do you disagree
that God wants you to be a part
of his massive dream for discipling nations?
Agree or disagree?
Now, secondly, are you all in on that dream?
Or not?
Are you like a little bit interested
in God's dream of discipling nations?
Are you, are you all, or are you all in,
or are you just like, where are we?
On a one to 10 scale, how engaged are you?
How lit up are you?
How excited are you about God's dream of discipling nations?
So let's pray.
And then we're going to jump into the session
on the science of dreams.
And as we jump in, let me just say once again,
it's such an honor and a delight to share this time with you.
Papa, Yeshua, Holy Spirit, beautiful Trinity.
Thank you so much for every single person
that's here right now.
And I thank you, Holy Spirit,
for gripping their hearts right now.
Holy Spirit, I thank you for words that are deeper,
encounter that is deeper, glory that is deeper,
revelation that is deeper, power that is deeper
than just the words that I'm echoing,
but there would be spirit, there would be substance,
there would be anointing, there would be glory,
there would be power,
there would be revelation on these words
that every person that tunes in,
they won't be receiving from me,
but your very spirit will be upon the words
and your tangible spirit will be impacting hearts
and releasing divine appointment moments,
kairos moments that explode people into destiny
and into dreams.
And Jesus name, Papa, I thank you right now as well.
I can see that even right now,
God is opening doors for people that these words,
this revelation, this truth, that as it's coming to you,
it's hitting you on you, it's resting on you,
and it's opening doors into new dimensions with God.
It's opening doors into new revelations.
It's opening doors into a whole new quality of life.
It's opening doors into the divine dance.
It's opening doors into the divine life.
But more than that, this is a season.
God is actually releasing on people right now
a season of divine appointments in Jesus name.
So Lord, I declare that not just these words,
but your very presence,
the move of God that's happening right now
is upon people in Jesus name.
And I declare divine appointments
happening for you in Jesus name
that are beginning to orchestrate your destiny.
I declare angels all around you moving in Jesus name,
opening doors, releasing divine appointments.
I declare the favor of God coming upon you
and the momentum of heaven backing you
as you run after your royal court.
as you run after your God-given dream, in Jesus' name.
Papa, Papa, Papa.
Whoa, let your glory sink in on us.
Whoa, let waves of your love and your glory crash over us.
Wow.
Just know that for some people right now as well,
there's a love encounter going deep right now.
And even as I speak, this love encounter that God is releasing over you
is just going to go deeper and deeper and deeper.
Amen.
Wow, so beautiful.
Hey, family, this is going to be a glorious session.
So jump in with me, and we're going to look at how huge Jesus' vision is, right?
Jesus is, remember, he is the King of kings, he is the Lord of lords,
and this is what a royal vision looks like.
And something amazing about royalty is that royalty disciple nations.
That's what kings and queens do.
They disciple nations.
They shape the culture, and they influence society.
And that's what Jesus is.
He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords,
and he is excited about shaping culture and influencing society
and discipling entire nations.
And not just one or two.
Jesus is the King of kings, and he wants to disciple all nations.
Let's jump into this, Matthew 28, 19 to 20.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.
How wild is this?
This, you know, baptizing.
We talked about this in the last session,
but baptizing all nations in the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
It's not just like a name tag.
That word name, it means their nature, their essence, the wonder of it.
It's who they are.
It's specifically what it refers to is baptizing them in the presence,
baptizing them in the glory, baptizing them in the culture,
in the atmosphere of heaven, baptizing them in the divine dance.
How amazing is this?
Jesus has called us, and listen, this is a royal calling.
It's not a low-level calling.
This is a five-star royal calling that you've been invited to,
the greatest vision that has ever existed,
to baptize every nation under the sun into the fullness of the beauty
and the wonder of the divine dance.
Whoa.
Now, let me ask you, do you love that dream, right?
Do you love that dream?
Do you hate that dream?
Is it inspiring?
How do you feel about that dream of baptizing every nation under the sun
in the divine dance?
And let me ask you, do you think that God would want to use you
in the process of bringing that royal dream to fruition?
Let me say, God has set us up for success.
Every single one of us, we have a royal calling, a royal assignment.
We have a significant part to play in the process,
and God has given us the tools, all right?
God has given us the tools that we need to make these dreams happen.
And one thing that is true is that when you step into your royal identity,
it's always alignment before assignment.
You step into alignment with your royal identity,
and all of a sudden your royal assignment will start coming upon you
like never before.
The momentum of heaven will come upon you like never before.
You step into your royal identity,
and at the same time you start stepping into this dynamic
of being a royal son, being a royal daughter,
and royalty, disciple nations.
That's just what happens.
When we grasp our royal identity, boom, we just click into alignment,
and we jump into this place of starting to disciple nations.
So I just want you to say this with me, okay?
Say, royalty, disciple nations.
Royalty, disciple nations.
Now, you aren't responsible to do everything,
but you are responsible to do something.
You're responsible to do your thing,
and your thing is a five-star royal calling.
God's peace, right?
God's peace that he has for you to play is an extremely significant
five-star royal calling.
You've got a significant piece to play in the jigsaw puzzle
of discipling nations.
And you know what?
It is so significant.
I just want you to clear this, right?
My calling is significant in Jesus' name.
It really is.
And you know what?
It's so significant that has Satan absolutely terrified, right?
Nothing terrifies Satan more than the idea of seeing you step
into the Ephesians 320 calling, the five-star royal calling
on your life.
The idea of you stepping into your destiny.
He completely terrifies Satan because he understands your potential better than you do.
He has seen it before when a single individual steps into the power of their royal calling,
they have the ability to change the course of nations, change the course of history and
disciple nations.
You know, people like St. Patrick, people like St. Francis, William Seymour, Madam Guillaume,
Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Catherine of Siena, David, King David, Moses, Noah,
Charles Finney, John Wesley, George Whitefield, listen, the list goes on.
There are so many saints, so many heroes of the faith that have stepped into a place of
this Ephesians 320 calling that they have influenced millions and tens of millions and
hundreds of millions and discipled nations and set the course of history.
So, you know, destiny, right, when we step into that place of destiny, destiny is what
God saw when he unleashed his limitless power to dream the best for you.
So Satan gets scared about that, and I'm not talking like mild anxiety, I'm talking full
on panic attack, seizures, and you're like full scale terror when Satan considers the
idea of you stepping into your royal assignment, your royal destiny, you know, Satan and he
takes it so seriously, right?
Satan takes it so seriously, so terrified that he has mobilized four satanic giants
with specific assignments against your life to destroy your dreams, to destroy your
calling and to shut down your destiny.
And they have created, there is a systematic strategic assault and assignment and
satanic commission against your life to destroy your destiny.
And it's there to ensure that your dreams, your royal calling never sees the light of
day. You know, Satan knows that if even just one single person goes rogue on him, if just
one single person steps into the Ephesians 320 destiny that God has on their life, his
entire kingdom, you know, everything that he's been working for, for millennia, you
know, it could be completely undone just by one person stepping into the Ephesians 320
calling on our lives. Think about how massive the Ephesians 320 calling on our lives is
exceedingly abundantly above and beyond anything that we've ever did to pray, think,
ask, dream, or even imagine.
That's a limitless space, it's so huge.
Listen, that's what Moses was walking in, that's what St.
Patrick was walking in, Finney was walking in, these people who discipled nations and
sparked great awakenings that shaped the culture and society of the entire planet.
Satan is terrified that you'll step into that.
So the satanic giants of darkness are signed against your life.
They are not a joke, OK?
And it's no accident that most Christians take their dreams to the grave.
But it's no accident that so few Christians ever actually step into the Ephesians 320
calling on their lives.
And these four satanic giants, right, we're going to break those down and break down how
they operate and what they are in just a moment.
But these four satanic giants, they have launched a systematic attack against your
dreams before you were even born.
All right. And they take out, they're effective and they take out most people's
dreams. Majority of people's dreams get taken out by these giants.
I mean, there's no actual official statistics on this, except in heaven.
But I would suggest it's above 90 percent, well above 90 percent.
So this is what Les Brown said.
He said the graveyard is the richest place on earth because it is here that you will
find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled.
The books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that
were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too
afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem or determined to carry out their
dream. Let me ask, let me ask you a question at this point.
Do you really want to live your dreams?
Yes or no. Do you really want to live your dreams?
And this is a serious question because anyone who wants to live their dreams is going to
have to take on four of the most ruthless, satanic creatures to ever crawl out of the
pits of hell. It's a big deal and it's not going to be easy.
It is going to be difficult.
Say it's going to be difficult.
Right. This is going to be difficult.
Bringing your wildest dreams to life is going to be difficult.
It's not going to be easy, but you're going to have to choose your heart.
OK, so choose your heart.
Do you want the heart, right, that hard dynamic of the hard effort, the hard work that
you're going to have to put in right now to.
bring your wildest dreams to life? Or do you want the hard,
right, the hard dynamic of paying the price of regret, when
you stand before Jesus and realize that you never walked in
your five star calling? Which hard would you prefer? Right?
Would you prefer the hard work of paying the price now? Or the
hard, the hard dynamic of regret and paying the price later on?
Which would you prefer? So I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure
that your heart, right, your heart is to go with the hard
right now to bring your wildest dreams to life. Say kind of
amen, say yes, if that's you, if that's where your heart is,
because, you know, right now, what we're going to do is we're
going to, I'm going to show you're going to walk you through
how to start slaying some giants. So before we start,
before we start, I want you to say this, okay, it's out of
Ephesians 3.20, where it says God is able. So I want you to
say this, I want you to say, God is able to slay my giants,
we're going to declare it a couple of times together. God is
able to slay my giants, as God is able to slay my giants. Amen.
Now, we're going to change it slightly. And we're going to
say, declared together with God, I am able to slay my giants.
Here we go. With God, I am able to slay my giants. With God, I
am able to slay my giants. With God, I am able to slay my
giants in Jesus name. Amen. Yes, you are. Let's look at how it
works. Let's break this down. And let's get into it. So we're
going to look right now at the four ancient weapons that God
has given you from heaven that give you the ability to slay
the four satanic giants, which have been sent after your
dreams. They have been planning your destruction, the
destruction of your destiny and dreams and your calling since
before you were born. Right? So if you're going to get serious
right now about starting to bring your dreams to life, you're
going to realize that these guys have a head start on you. All
right. But we're going to draw battle lines right now. We're
going to draw battle lines. We're going to go after these
giants of darkness. We're going to start bringing them down. So
let me do a quick overview of the battlefield of the four
giants and the four weapons from heaven that God has given you.
And the secret as well. There's another secret in this session
as well to bringing any dream to life. So the very first giant
that gets sent against us is the giant of lack. Okay, say the
giant of lack, L A C K, the giant of lack. The giant of lack,
its job is to grind your dreams to death through poverty. You
know, financial poverty is a huge part of the attack of the
giant of lack, but it's not the only part. Okay. So when it
comes to money and finances and poverty, I'm actually going to
be talking about royal economy and royal economics tomorrow.
And what did Jesus say about money, but so many Christians
have a negative perspective on this and they wear poverty as
though it's a spiritual badge of honor. But I just want to say
that actually when Jesus talked about poverty, he talked about
it as a curse, right? He wanted to break, break poverty. And so
this giant of lack brings the curse of poverty, and we're
called to destroy it. But actually, the deepest way that
the giant of lack works is actually a lack of love. You
know, this is what puts us more than anything into that place of
the orphan slave mindset is a lack of love. Remember, you
know, mature sonship is the ability to receive divine love
perfectly, and the ability to give perfect expression to
divine love. And the orphan spirit or the slave mindset,
you know, what that produces is the inability to receive divine
love perfectly, and the inability to give perfect
expression to divine love. It's a love deficit. And the giant of
lack is about stripping you and bringing your will to revolve
around lack based mindsets, rather than abundance based
mindsets. And the point of that, the purpose of all this
attack is to shut down one of your most powerful gifts, right?
And one of the most powerful gifts that you have is your
imagination. See, lack and poverty shut down our ability to
dream with God, because God dreams at a level that
transcends lack. God dreams at a higher level. God dreams based
on abundance mindset. God dreams in a limitless realm. And if you
want to dream with God, you're going to have to transcend and
go above and beyond lack. But the only way that we can do that
is through our imaginations. That's why the giant of lack is
attacking our imagination to restrict us and hold us down,
keep us earthbound and unable to dream with God. When it comes to
God, you know, there is no lack in his glory. There's no lack in
his kingdom. There's no lack in his presence. Philippians 419
9.
as it says, and my God will meet all your needs according to his
riches and glory in Christ Jesus. It's our imagination,
right, that enables us to see beyond this realm. It's our
imagination that actually transcends the natural realm.
And our imagination, listen, our imagination is not the result
of, it is not the result of evolution. Okay. And actually,
what I'm sharing with you right now, the science of dreams, I've
written a whole book on the science of dreams. So if you
haven't done it yet, what you want to do is sign up in the
description of this video, there is a link there that you can
sign up to, it's the, you know, join the course, join this
three-day Royal Challenge course. And when you do that,
one of the first things I send you is the audio book, the ebook
for the science of dreams. Okay, so this is just a, if you want
to go real deep on this, you can go real deep in there. But your
imagination is a supernatural communication system given to
you by God so that you can experience effortless, 24-7
intimacy with God, and so that you can see from God's
perspective, and so that you can dream with God and so that you
can participate in promises like the Ephesians 3.20 promise to
step into a world where God is doing exceedingly abundantly
above and beyond all that you've ever did to dream, pray, ask,
think, hope for, or even imagine that all starts in our
imagination. And one of the things about our imagination,
right, is it takes us into another dimension, it unlocks
different aspects in the spiritual realm, and it unlocks
different aspects within us, and it unlocks different dimensions
of God's promises for us. And something that's one of the most
significant things that your imagination unlocks is an
unstoppable force. So say this with me, say unstoppable force,
right? So this unstoppable force is passion, right? Let me share
with you how this works. So imagine with me right now, that
you are living in the fruition of one of your wildest dreams. So
just pick a dream, any dream, but one of your wildest ones,
it's got to be extravagant. And I want you to take this moment to
imagine that you're living right there in the fruition of this
dream. And I want you to imagine what does it feel like? How is
your life different? Whose life is impacted when your dream
comes to fruition? What does that look like? Oh my gosh, when
I start dreaming into this so wild, but what does it look like
when your wildest dreams come to fruition? And as you think about
it, as you meditate, and as you allow yourself to see that, how
much do you want it? So one of the keys in dreaming with God is
to see the fruition of your dreams before they manifest in
the natural. That's what the imagination allows us to do. It
enables us to see the fruition of the promise before it happens
in the natural. And when you're doing this, you want to see
dreams that are worth dying for. When you cut loose in your
imagination, we have to start somewhere, but you really want to
be dreaming for dreams that are so wild, so extravagant, that
they get your heart beating, get your heart pumping. Mel Gibson
said in the movie Braveheart, every man dies, not every man
really lives. And it's when you start dreaming these wildest
dreams that you unlock a passion. It's that passion that
actually unlocks the ability to be truly, to come truly alive.
So it's through your imagination that you unlock the unstoppable
force of passion. Hmm. Let me read this little quote to you
from The Science of Dreams. It's only once we have discovered
something that we desire so intensely, that we are willing
to die for it, that we truly come alive. The type of desire
that will do whatever it takes to see a dream fulfilled is the
very same type of exhilarating passion that causes us to truly
come alive. This is one of the most powerful secrets of our
imagination. Lean in close right now and hear this. When we
engage our imagination to see the fruition of our dreams
before they come alive, we unlock one of the most world
changing forces in the entire cosmos. It's definitely not a
force that the giant of lack even wants you to possess, the
substance, the force, this raw passion. Wow. See, when you're
imagining, right, you want to be thinking about this word that
we talked about yesterday, which is this Hebrew word Yadah.
Okay. And Yadah means intimate, experiential,
knowledge. And Genesis 4.1 says that Adam knew his wife, and she
conceived, right? He yadahed his wife, and he and she conceived.
It's the same with your dreams, right? When you yadah your
dreams in your imagination, you actually conceive, you become
spiritually pregnant. And this is the very first part in the
process of building in the spirit and bringing your dreams
to life. You have to yadah. You can't just casually imagine your
dreams. You have to yadah, you have to dive deep and allow
yourself to see it, to spend time in it, to meditate on your
wildest dreams, allow yourself to feel what it feels like when
you're living in the fruition of that dream. Allow yourself to
see it, allow yourself to see the impact of it, allow yourself
to see what it looks like, what it means to people's lives when
your dreams come alive. See, then you will yadah your dream.
When you yadah your dream, you conceive it, it becomes a
spiritual living reality in the spirit realm. Beautiful. So
that's this first giant. Okay, that's the giant of lack. Now
we're going to talk about our next giant. Okay, so the next
giant, right? If you manage to break the stronghold of the
giant of lack, if you manage to transcend that and go beyond
that, you break the power of poverty off your life, and you
step into your imagination, you start to dream with God. And
listen, you're dreaming with God, you're seeing from God's
perspective, you're not restricted by lack, but you come
to this life, you're like, wow, you're seeing the possibilities
that the promise is fulfilled in the spirit realm. You're like,
this is amazing. You're no longer earthbound, you're no
longer held back by lack, you are set free to dream with God.
This is a wild place. And you're set free to yadah your wildest
dreams, and they conceive, they come alive on the inside of you.
And it unlocks this unstoppable force of passion, you're like,
I will do whatever it takes to bring this dream to life. It's
like someone that you know, something, you know, it's like a
precious child that you know, you will fight for it, there
will be a tenacity and a fight come alive on the inside. But
it will also, if you break free from lack, you were going to
experience the next giant is going to come right at you, that
will have already seen this coming in, it has a plan in
place. And it is the giant of unbelief. We actually looked at
the giant of unbelief yesterday and how it works, because the
giant of unbelief is the giant, the satanic entity that's
responsible for getting you to believe two particular lies. So
the first lie is the promises of God aren't real. And like we
looked at yesterday, the second lie is, yeah, okay, the promises
of God are real, and they are possible, just not for you. So
unbelief is going to come and try and shut that down, you
birth this, you conceive this dream, unbelief is going to come
and try and shut it down, try and nail it, try and convince
you actually know it wasn't, you know, it can't be, and we'll just
try and grind that dream to death. But you're not going to
fall for the giant of unbelief, you're going to step into the
second ancient weapon. Okay, so the second ancient weapon is the
ability to build in the spirit by faith. Okay, so the second
ancient weapon is faith. And what faith does is faith gives
you the ability to build in the spirit. But building in the
spirit is actually a process. Okay, it's, it's not random. So
the first step of building in the spirit is yada in your
imagination. The second step is actually seeking God for an
assurance of faith. Okay, you know, sometimes when God gives
you a dream, you just have to say, Okay, God, like, I need an
assurance of faith that this is really you speaking to me. And
you need it for two reasons. One, you want to just make sure
that God is with you. I always like to make sure that you know,
I don't want to just make up my own ideas in life, right? I want
to make sure that what I'm doing, God is already backing it.
And when you're doing something that God's backing, you have the
momentum of heaven on it, which is just awesome. Okay, so that's
the first reason. And then the second reason is you are going to
come against opposition. Okay, so this giant of unbelief is
going to come against you, the other giants of darkness are
going to come against you. And you're going to need to have
some type of conviction, something that you can hold on
to some solid ground, as you go against the giants of darkness
and go against all the adversity and opposition that's going to
come against you as you start going after this dream. So there
is a storm of lies that's going to come after you once you agree
that yes, and you need something to hold you fast. So you need a
promise, you need a word. And Abraham had this, it was
beautiful. So in Genesis 15, verses one to five, God said
this, he said, Do not be afraid, Abraham, I am your shield and
your very great reward. But Abraham said, Sovereign Lord,
what can you give me since I remain childless, and the one who
will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus. And Abraham
said, You have given me no children. So a servant in my
household will be my heir. In the word of the Lord came to
him, this man will not be your heir, but a son who was your own
flesh and blood will be your heir. He took him outside and
said,
look up at the sky and count the stars. If indeed you can count them. Then he said to him,
so shall your offspring be. Whoa, that's so beautiful. So you know what Abraham did? You
know what that happened? A couple of things happened in that moment. That moment when God
gave him a word, it was two things. It was like it gave him assurance of faith, but it also gave
him a picture as an anchor point for his imagination to begin to dream and begin to
see in his imagination his son. That promise didn't come for 40 years, but for 40 years,
Abraham did not weaken in his faith. He didn't weaken in his faith regarding the promise. He
held his son in his imagination before he held him in the natural. As he walked through 40 years
of challenges and adversity, he still managed to hold his son in his arms and his imagination
before he ever held him in the natural. So step one, phase one in building in the spirit is seeing
it in your imagination. Phase two is getting an assurance from God that this is legit,
that this is cool. Phase three is framing your future, okay? So you can frame your future in
your mind. That's one thing, but the next thing you want to do, and let me show you this. I'll
just pull this over here. I've got 12 royal daily declarations, okay? I'm making these all the time.
I've got, you can kind of see a whiteboard over there, and there's another whiteboard over there.
I'm using these whiteboards. That whiteboard there is double-sided. I have those whiteboards. I have
these daily declarations, and what I use them for is I use them to frame my future, okay? So I'm
making these declarations of what my future is. See, I've seen it in my imagination. I've yadahed it.
I've seen it, and then I've taken it out of my imagination. I've gotten an assurance of faith
from God. I've written it down on paper, and now on a regular basis, I'm decreeing. I'm declaring.
I'm framing my future with words and with declarations. So this is 2 Corinthians 5,
verse 17, in action. We, for we live by faith, not by sight. You know, like, it's not the things that
we see around us. It's not this lack-based realm around us. It's not the words of the media that
direct our future. It's not the, you know, it's not the false prophecies coming through the media that
frame our future. No, that's what we've seen in the Spirit that frames our future. We take what
God has shown us, what God has revealed us, not from this realm of lack, but from this realm of
the Spirit of God where there's no lack in His glory. We've taken from the Word of the Lord.
We've had the assurance of faith, and now we frame our future in faith, and we live by faith and not
by sight. And regardless of what this realm of lack says, and if it declares that your dream's
possible or not possible, it says, now that can happen, that can't happen. Listen, it doesn't
matter what's happening in this realm. It's what we've seen in the Spirit, because we live not by
faith. Now, we live by faith, but not by sight. Okay, so we've seen it, and that is how we frame
our future. That is how we frame our declaration. See, this is Proverbs 18, 21. The tongue has the
power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. And faith perceives spiritual
realities as present-tense fact, even before they're in the natural. Okay, so Abraham saw his
son as his son, as a living son. He held his son in the Spirit before he ever held him in the natural.
That faith, as you hold your promise in the Spirit, and you speak life to it, and you declare life over
it, and you declare that that promise is a present reality that actually starts birthing it into the
natural realm. This is Hebrew 11, 1. It says, now faith is the assurance, the title deed, the
confirmation of things hoped for, divinely guaranteed, and the evidence of things not seen,
the conviction of their reality. Faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical
senses. It's the title deed, right? So it's like you actually take up residence in the Spirit realm,
and you've got the title deed for this thing. This is not a maybe. This is a present reality.
This is fact. Faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses.
Now, that is wild. Okay, so phase four, right? So we've got phase one, seeing it in the Spirit
and your imagination. Phase two, an assurance of faith. Phase three, framing your future. And phase
four is so beautiful. It is extreme gratitude. Now, this is insanely powerful on so many levels,
but it's extreme gratitude. Delighting in the Lord because of your confidence in His promise
that He will be faithful.
to his word that he has given to you.
All right.
Whoa.
And it produces this delight and you just giving him delight.
This is more powerful than, you know, like then you just like begging God, okay.
Don't be in that realm of begging God.
That's not a realm of faith, okay.
It's the realm of delight that has extreme power.
The sound of your delight will be the sound of your breakthrough.
Let me say that for you again.
Some people need to hear that right now.
The sound of your delight will be the sound of your breakthrough, not begging, moaning,
whining.
The sound of your delight will be the sound of your breakthrough.
I feel I need to say that again.
The sound of your delight will be the sound of your breakthrough in Jesus name.
Romans 4, 19 to 21 says about Abraham, without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact
that his body was as good as dead.
What's that?
That's the realm of lack.
Okay.
That's the, that's this earthly realm.
That's the realm of reality, a lack, lack based reality, lack based mindsets, all the,
all the facts that say it's not possible, all the realities that get in your face, all
the things that defy your promises, the giant of unbelief, the giant of lack, everything
that they throw in your face saying it's not possible.
Well, here's how Abraham responded to all of those lies.
He said, without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good
as dead since he was about a hundred years old and that Sarah's womb was also dead, yet
he did not waver through unbelief.
We're talking about the giant of unbelief.
He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in
his faith and gave glory to God.
That's just delighting.
He delighted in God before the manifestation of the promise.
He delighted through the process because the sound of your delight will be the sound of
your breakthrough.
He was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God
had power to do what he had promised.
Wow.
How good is that?
So we must think, right?
We must have a mindset.
We must live by faith and not by sight with this belief, with this mindset, then we must
give thanks and not just give like a little bit of gratitude.
I reckon if we're going to be giving gratitude, why don't we push the envelope, right?
Why don't we try and go for extreme gratitude?
Why don't we take it to the greatest, most extravagant expressions of delight and gratitude
that we could ever come up with?
Why don't we push the envelope and give God, like Abraham, extreme gratitude, extreme delight,
in the midst of the process, knowing that he has the power to do what he has promised?
Amazing.
Oh, and guess what?
You know, Abraham and Sarah, you know, they became the mother and the father of many nations.
Well, this is the science of dreams.
OK, this process of building in the spirit, it has worked for millennia.
Oh, my goodness.
We've seen this so many times.
This will work for anyone who applies it.
Now, let's give you a quick recap.
So point one is you've got to see it in the spirit.
And when you see it in the spirit, something that's so critical about that seeing in the spirit,
you want to see it in the spirit to the point, right?
You want to yadaa your vision.
You want to yadaa your promise.
You've got to yadaa it in the spirit, see it in the spirit, imagine in the spirit,
behold it in the spirit until, you're right, it's got to, if you want it to be effective,
it's got to awaken a burning desire in you, OK?
It has to awaken a burning desire in you.
You have to yadaa it, you have to conceive something that awakens a burning desire.
That is so, so critical, OK?
So you yadaa, you see it in the spirit and you allow yourself to meditate on that promise
until it awakens a burning desire.
And then you get an assurance of faith.
And then the next thing is you frame your future with your declarations and your words.
And then the fourth part is extreme gratitude.
And, you know, who knows how long it's going to take?
For Abraham, it was 40 years, all right?
It was 40 years of delight in the process.
Wow, 40 years of delight in the process.
And you have to camp there in that place.
You can't move, all right?
It might take some time.
You cannot move.
You have to camp there.
You have to move and you have to take residence in the spirit around that promise.
And you have to take residence in a place of extreme gratitude, giving him delight in the process
because it's the sound of your delight that will be the sound of your breakthrough.
Whoa, amazing.
Right. So that is that's the second giant.
The third giant is the giant of distraction.
All right. The giant of distraction and the giant of distraction is a little bit more sneaky.
The giant of distraction is just a little more subtle, not as aggressive.
OK, the giant of.
uh distraction actually comes across as an angel of light sometimes
it might even come come across you know just completely innocent
and for this for this section on the giant of darkness
uh the giant of distraction i actually want to read to you

wisdom okay so this is create a bit of creative license here
i've taken a bit of creative license just to write a little creative piece
for you so just pulling it up here um here we go
okay wisdom here it is wisdom so join with me now in this moment when i
read this you can just relax it's just a time to let this soak
over you let it wash over you um and just enjoy this
uh this is the science of dreams and the weapon that god gives us
is wisdom and the weapon that god gives us is faith
and the weapon that god gives us is wisdom and the weapon that god gives us
over you let it wash over you um and just
enjoy this uh enjoy this beautiful little piece of creative writing so
let me take a little bit of poetic license once again
wisdom is like a beautiful headmistress of heaven's royal academy of giants
lads she is stunning she effortlessly
captivates every space that she enters her perfume
is an ever-changing symphony of the finest fragrances of every season
she radiates warmth kindness strength gentleness boldness in an atmosphere of
invincibility literal waves of translucent light seem to shimmer off
her and dance almost invisibly in her wake
intrigue honor or power and reverence encircle her and silently herald her
approach as they permeate a room before she
enters her full-sleeved full-length dress is
breathtaking she made it herself as she does with all
her garments it took over a hundred years of
tuesday evening dress making it is as much a piece of jewelry as it
is a dress it is a one-of-a-kind light silver and
white dress embedded with an ocean of dazzling
precious stones her hair is so blonde it could be white or it could be blonde
with pulses of light occasionally passing through it it is
tied up elegantly long diamond earrings match her diamond
necklace and the jewels themselves sing heavenly melodies
as quietly as the sound of breathing harmonizing
with every jewel on her dress thousands of barely audible heavenly voices
release the sound of delight and rise as an incense of worship as
they sing their colors morph almost unnoticeably in a slow motion
dance softly sparkling and swirling in a
cadence with glory nothing about her is more entrancing than
her aqua blue eyes that carry the very heartbeat of heaven
in every glance her eyes are like a double-edged
sword because as you look into them they capture
you entirely and an invisible force pulls your focus
nearer you feel as if you could swim in them
and discover all the mysteries of eternity
but when wisdom engages you with full eye contact
nothing you've experienced has ever been more penetrating
when wisdom looks into your eyes she reads your entire story
nothing is hidden to her you are fully exposed and simultaneously
fully embraced with a single silent glance
she has become perfectly acquainted with every moment
of your journey then the silence deepens even her acapella jewelry and the
dancing beams of light around her still themselves
the silence is perfect silence not even your thoughts can move
is
everything holds its breath within tree. Now that wisdom
knows your entire destiny, your past, your present, your
strengths, weaknesses, and every detail of your story, what will
wisdom say? This is Proverbs 8, one to five, verse 12, and verse
32 to 36. Does not wisdom call out, does not understanding
raise her voice? At the highest point along the way where the
paths meet, she takes her stand. Beside the gate leading into the
city at the entrance, she cries aloud. To you, O people I call
out, I raise my voice to all mankind. I, wisdom, dwell
together with prudence. I possess knowledge and
discretion. Now then, my children, listen to me. Blessed
are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction and be
wise. Do not disregard it. Blessed are those who listen to
me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway for those
who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. But
those who fail to find me harm themselves. All who hate me,
love death. What would wisdom say to you? If you break free
from the distractions, what would wisdom say to you? Here's
a few ideas. Wisdom assesses all the information past, present
and future. Before wisdom looks into the future, to the moment
where you give account for your life, wisdom looks back to the
beginning and considers the full extravagance of the sacred
destiny and calling that the Trinity has entrusted to you.
Then wisdom pierces the deepest recesses of your heart and
captures your most authentic, extravagant, and precious
desires. Specifically, wisdom considers what you want, the
most important moment of your existence to look like. The
moment that you have to give account to God, that moment that
you have to stand face to face with your maker and give account
for every breath you breathe, every action that you took or
didn't take, every word you spoke, for every resource that
you stewarded for the life that you lived, and most
significantly, how you stewarded the limitless and sacred
destiny that was entrusted to you. Psalm 139 verse 16, your
eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were
written in your book before one of them came to be. In a moment,
wisdom weighs on a balance the sacred destiny that was
entrusted to you, the current trajectory of your life, your
deepest hopes and desires for the moment that you must give
account of your life to your maker and then sits you down for
some real talk. There's no small talk with wisdom, no excuses, no
justifications, no waste, no mucking around, and she
tolerates no fools. There's in your face reality, brutal
honesty, extreme ownership, crystal clear clarity, and high
stake consequences and rewards. Her focus is to raise up royal
giant slayers who will do whatever it takes to walk the
narrow path, the ancient highways, and walk in the
infinite possibilities available in Christ. Wisdom will test your
heart to determine whether or not you are good company for her.
If you are, she will challenge you like you've never been
challenged before in order to equip and empower you for your
sacred destiny. If you are not good company for her, she will
quietly move on and leave you to your own self-destructive
dysfunction. Wisdom's role is not to be a rescuer. If wisdom
deems you as good company, she will communicate with you
clearly, captivating your focus and attention completely, and
this is what she will reveal. Number one, here's the limitless
sacred destiny that God has entrusted only to you. Number
two, here's how you are stewarding it. Number three,
here's where that will lead if you continue on your current
trajectory. Number four, if you want to change the destination
that you were heading for, then this is what you must do. If you
respond well to that feedback at a heart level, because wisdom
would see right through your words and thoughts and into your
heart, then wisdom might take you a little deeper. Before she
revealed even another word to you, she would demand a
commitment from you of the highest levels of focus and
extreme ownership that you have ever summoned. Her price tag is
not silver or gold. She already has riches beyond measure. Her
currency is the highest levels of focus and extreme ownership.
She will demand all that you have and more. Once you have
given her a solemn oath,
vowing to supply the highest quality of focus and extreme ownership that you have ever attained,
she will then, and only then, take you deeper. If wisdom was convinced by your vows,
she would begin. She would begin by demanding her first payment of focus immediately. She would then
begin to work with you to create a tailor-made, personalized, precision vision plan detailing
exactly how to steward your sacred destiny and dreams into complete fruition. The precision
vision plan would show you how to dream with God, how to set yourself on fire with passion for the
types of dreams worth dying for. She would caution you not to touch any dream that does not set you
ablaze with desire. She would walk you through the process of building in the spirit. Wisdom
would teach you how to partner with God to create a personalized, precision vision plan
that will provide you with the infrastructure you need to steward your sacred destiny and dreams
on a daily basis. She would uncover every detail of how to mature the dreams that you have birthed
through faith into the faithfulness of the world, changing history, making planet-shaking dreams
that God saw when he unleashed his limitless power to dream the best for you before the
foundation of the world. She would break it all down for you into achievable, bite-sized goals
that revealed how you could systematically bring your wildest dreams to life.
She would highlight the power of knowing and achieving each day's priority tasks. She would
show you massive, consistent, strategic actions that you must take in order to bring the sacred
destiny to life. Then she would get really intense. She would demand from you the second
part of your payment, extreme ownership. At this point, she would get through to you on the deepest,
most soul-trembling level that anyone has ever spoken to you on and bring a reality check of
where you are right now and the changes you need to make in order to get where you want to go.
She would then line you up for the high stakes consequences and rewards attached to your calling
and reveal how your success or failure will influence multitudes for generations to come.
Once she has your focus and your motivation at a record high, she will confront you with the cost
and requirement and with the cost and require an immediate commitment from you. The cost will be
great. It will cost you every thought, every behavior, and every distraction that is causing
you to betray your own dreams and destiny. Wow. I'm going to jump back here.
Here's the thing. Wisdom is really, really intense. Wisdom is the weapon. Wisdom is the
gift that God has given you to overcome the giant of distraction. Wisdom, when you embrace wisdom,
it will bring clarity. It will bring focus to you down to a moment-by-moment level of precision
focus. Let me give you three things that you can put in place to help master your focus. Number one,
write down your dreams. You can go deeper than that and actually create a precision vision plan.
Write down your dreams. Number two is create a priority to-do list on a daily basis so you
know what your priorities are on a daily basis. Because if you don't have priorities in place,
it's easy to get distracted. Number three, either create a community or join a community with a
focus of bringing your dreams to life so that your whole community is focused together on moving
into the fruition of your wildest dreams. All right, our last giant. We're getting into our
last giant right now. The last giant is the giant of apathy. And oh my gosh, this generation has a
serious issue with the giant of apathy. So apathy, what does apathy want to do? Apathy always wants
to do the easy thing, wants to avoid hard things, it wants to avoid pain, it avoids feedback, it
always just chooses the easy way. But one of the problems with doing that, when we choose the easy
way, you know, the narrow path that God's called us to is not the easy path. So if we're choosing
the easy path, it will not be the narrow path. So that when God lines us up, when Jesus calls us to
carry our cross and walk the narrow path, we won't have the strength to walk that way. That's why so
many people struggle with sin right now. So many people struggle with it because they keep choosing
the easy things. And what happens when we choose easy things and avoid hard things and avoid pain,
is we actually lose our strength of will. 2 Timothy 1.7 says, for God gave us a spirit,
not a fear, but a power and love and self-control. And this, this dynamic here of self-control or
willpower, all right, or sovereignty, it's your ability to choose, right? Self-control is free
choice. It's your personal sovereignty. It's your free will. It's
your willpower, your self-control, your willpower.
Listen, this is the single most powerful gift that God has ever
given anyone, right? And if you have no willpower, if you have
no self-control, then the giant of apathy is going to control
you. If you want to build, let me let me now ask you, let me
just ask you a secret question right here is, do you? I'll ask
you this because it's a question that my friend asks, and he's a
total genius. He speaks all around the world when you can
travel. And he often asks audiences this, he says, who
would like to know the secret to get whatever you want in life? I
know that always gets my attention. What? Who would who
wants to know the secret to getting whatever you want in
life? And the answer he brings is the secret to getting
whatever you want in life is to do whatever it takes. And
everyone hears that and they clap and like, yeah, but you
know, very, very few people then go out and live their
dreams. Why? It's because they don't have the willpower to
actually do whatever it takes. So my question is, how do you
get the willpower to do whatever it takes so that you can have
whatever you want? Okay, so willpower is strength and
willpower is developed. It's just it's something that you
actually have to steward. It's like the muscles in your body,
you have to build willpower, you have to strengthen it, and you
strengthen it by doing hard things. Proverbs 1220 forces,
diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.
Some translations say hard work. Proverbs 13 forces, lazy people
want much but get little but those who work hard will
prosper. Because when you work hard, right? You do you do more
than like when you're working hard, you actually build your
strength of will. Now, of anything in your life, I would
say go off the willpower if you could choose to go off that,
you know, like if you had a focus, right, and this is
actually for me, for my kids, one of the things that I'm
thinking so much for my kids, what do I want to build into
them more than anything? We on a daily basis build into them
spiritually, we build into them, you know, with relationships and
health and finances, we're coaching our kids in all these
things. We coach our kids in vision, we coach our kids in
focus, we coach our kids how to thrive in every area of their
life. But if there's one thing that's the most important thing
of all, it's your willpower, it's your self control, it's
your sovereignty, it's the ability to exercise your free
will and rule over the giant of apathy. And, and that comes
about by doing hard things. So how many hard things did you do?
I would suggest that you do as many hard things as possible.
How hard should they be as hard as possible. And so when God's
calling us to step into our dreams, when God's calling us in
this process of the science of dreams, right, the science of
dreams, we've got four giants, we've got the giant of lack
trying to crush our imagination, we've got the giant of unbelief
trying to destroy our faith, we've got the giant of
distraction trying to destroy our focus, because focus is the
gift that wisdom would give you and focus is what the giant of
distraction would attack, right wants to destroy wisdom by
destroying focus. And then the last one, apathy, the thing that
the apathy wants to destroy is your willpower, your ability to
do hard things, your sovereignty, your ability to
make free to exercise your free will. So the solution for that,
my friend is doing hard things. So we've got a saying here at
raising royalties, we do hard things, all right, because when
you do hard things, builds that willpower that gives you the
ability to do whatever it takes to get whatever you want. So
we're going to wrap this up right now, right there. And this
is going to be my challenge to you is to do hard things. All
right. And what does that look like? It looks like the narrow
way it looks like what's God calling you to do today? What's
the priority of the day that God's given you? You know,
what's the to do hard things, right? Doing hard things. It's
not just about doing random things. It's it's not about
doing random things. It's about boldness to tenaciously pursue
exactly what God has called you to do. So let's pray and we're
going to wrap this session up right now. Papa, Papa, we think
about the science of dreams right now we think about what
you've called us to we think about the fact that you've called
us to a hard task of baptizing every nation on the planet,
every nation under the sun in the divine. Papa, we're asking
that you that you light that dream up in us like never
before. Papa, I'm just thank you for I thank you for every
person that's here right now. And I thank you for every dream
that they represent. I thank you for every dream that they
carry. I thank you that their dreams are so significant, so
priceless.
are so wonderful, so powerful. Holy Spirit, I thank you that you are highlighting their dreams,
you're lifting up their dreams, you're resurrecting their dreams. Thank you, Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, I thank you that even right now you're sparking new dreams, you're bringing
dreams to life. And I just thank you, Holy Spirit, for just a wave of dreams being released from
heaven. I thank you for a wave of revelation being released from heaven. I thank you for
an awakening right now to the most, to the dreams that you're calling them to, to the priority
actions, to the things that you want them to birth, to the significance of their calling.
Jesus, Jesus. Wow, Holy Spirit, I thank you right now for visions and dreams and encounters.
I thank you for words of wisdom, and I thank you for your voice speaking tenderly
and powerfully and beautifully to us. Papa, thank you, thank you, thank you. I just see,
I just see God removing, and for some people, wrestling disappointment out of your hands,
wrestling lack out of your hands, wrestling unbelief out of your hands. I see, I just see
him breathing, blowing distraction away, bringing clarity and focus like never before. I see him
bringing boldness upon you, a courage upon you to do whatever it takes. Holy Spirit,
thank you so much. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Amen. Well, family, I love you so much. We're wrapping
up this session. We'll be live again tomorrow with our last two sessions on royal economics,
which is going to be amazing. I'm so excited to share with you the royal mindsets that Jesus
taught on kingdom finances. It's going to be a delight and a pleasure. So lots and lots of love
to you, and look forward to seeing you very soon again. So bless you, have a wonderful day,
and may he breathe life on your dreams. Amen. See you, fam. Bye-bye.
