1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Let us pray now and to him that is able

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think,

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: according to the power that worketh in us Ephesians three twenty.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Dearest Father, I am grateful that your power lives in me.

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: You are working out everything that pertains to my life.

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: You are able to do immeasurably more than I could

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: ever imagine through your power working within me. It's hard

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: for me to fathom the greatness you are preparing for me.

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: It is your desire to show me your glory. As

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I humble myself before you, nothing is impossible for you.

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: The bigger my dreams, the greater my faith in you

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: needs to be to see them accomplished. If I can

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: accomplish my dreams and my own strength, it is not

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: big enough to stretch my faith. Thank you for your

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: greatness in me, Lord, Amen. Thank you for listening to

Speaker 2: of five children. You guys, people still do that. People

25
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: still do that. You know. I was pregnant with my

26
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: fifth and people go, oh, is this your first? And

27
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: I was like, no, it's my fifth. They were like, oh,

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: my gosh, almost like it's contagious, you know, like just

29
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: stay We just help that curve. You know, the merit

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: says that people normally have average two. We're just helping

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: the curve, right. But this is my dream team. They're incredible,

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: five of them. You can go ahead and show that

33
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: picture because they're really cute. Look at this team. Look

34
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: at this dream team. That's my dream team and they,

35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: along with my work dream team Nora, Kami, Amanda and Renee,

36
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: are on a mission with one goal, and that is

37
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: to make sure that this side of eternity looks more

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: like Heaven. And the way that we do that is

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: by equipping the Body of Christ to dream again, which

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: is what we're going to do this weekend. If I

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: have my way, and if Heaven has its way, we

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: are going to help you understand what is everybody? That

43
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: means you and the person next to you. That doesn't

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: matter how old or how young, how bad your past was,

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: how crazy the future might be, how chaotic your current

46
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: circumstances are, It says everybody, I will pour out my

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy,

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: and your young men will see visions, and your old

49
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: men will experience dreams from God. Do you know, though,

50
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: that that word vision means divinely appointed appearances. In the

51
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: Greek word, it's harassus, which means eyes or sight, and

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: it means that your eyes are open to divine encounters

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: of the spiritual realm. What does that mean? It means

54
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what you look at, it matters what

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: you see. And this verse is already inviting us, as

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: the body of Christ, to see in a totally different realm.

57
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: These are not day dreams, These are not nice ideas

58
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: to make you feel good. These are eyes to see

59
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: what Heaven is doing, what God is doing, not what

60
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: God was doing, not what God will do. What God

61
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: is doing. And I'm here today to remind us that

62
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: God is upholding his part of the prophecy and my

63
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: question is are we My question to each of us

64
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: is are we dreams mean with God? But again, that

65
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: word has a lot of biases and opinions and emotions.

66
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: And there's one of four of you in the room.

67
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: Number one. You're the dreamer. Raise your hand. Who's my dreamers?

68
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 2: You bought the T shirt, you have the gift card,

69
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: you have the watch, you have the water bottle, and

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: the hat that says dreamer. You got a laundry list

71
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: of them, a vision board a mile while and even

72
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: the person next you's like, yeah, yeah, but when are

73
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: you gonna do something about it? Well, you, sir, who's nudging?

74
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: When are you gonna do something about it? Somewhere along

75
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: the lines, put your dreams on the shelf, but for

76
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: very logical reasons, generally because of pain of the past

77
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: or disappointment of unfulfilled dreams. And I will never downplay

78
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: your place of disappointment. I have mine too. Generally, this

79
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: is someone who prayed for a baby and it never came.

80
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: A business that failed. This is one of those that

81
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: you have a prophecy, but you have yet to see

82
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: the fulfillment of that prophecy. And so what we do

83
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: is we take that dream and we put it on

84
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: a shelf, and then we convince ourselves that we should

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: be realistic, logical, that we should actually just you know,

86
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: be responsible and do what's in front of us, because

87
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: that is just our law in life. Or maybe you're

88
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: you're at where I was twelve years ago and you

89
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: are just barely getting by. You have more months than paycheck,

90
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: and you feel like you're in survival mode. So the

91
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: idea of dreaming sounds nice, but you're like Julia, I'm

92
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: barely getting through the day. Or you're where I was

93
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: seven years ago and life is good. You're living the

94
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: quote unquote American dream. You know, you bought the house

95
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: in the car and you have two point five kids

96
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: and you're doing the things and it's good, but it's

97
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: not great. It's fine, but it's not fantastic. But all

98
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: of you have one thing in common, and that is

99
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: every night we're calling into bed going God, is there

100
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: something more. I'm here to tell you this weekend there

101
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: is something more. There is something more. There is something more.

102
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: And this is what this weekend is going to be about,

103
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: is it's actually going to help you understand what it

104
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: means to dream with God again. But here's what I'm

105
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: gonna ask, because again I have pastors given me thirty

106
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: five minutes, but He's also given me two and a

107
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: half day conference to walk you through this process. So

108
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: if you leave today and you're like, yes, but I

109
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: don't even know what that means, you're in luck because

110
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: in less than five weeks we're gonna come back here.

111
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: In for two and a half days, I'm gonna actually

112
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: give you the framework of what it looks like to

113
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: start getting from where you are to where you want

114
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: to be. Okay, But today what we're gonna do is

115
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna answer two important questions. What does it mean

116
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: to dream with God? And why as believers must we

117
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: be dreaming with God? We're gonna answer those two questions today. Okay,

118
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: So number one, what does it mean to dream? Mark

119
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 2: Twain has said it, and I love this quote, but

120
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: he says, it's not what we know that hurts us.

121
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: It's what we think we know that just isn't so.

122
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: And so part of this process of understanding what it

123
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: means to dream with God not only means learning, but

124
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: sometimes it means unlearning means unlearning what I think I know,

125
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: but I don't actually have the results in my life right,

126
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: which suggests that if you don't have the results of

127
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: your life of a dream coming true, it might just

128
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: be because we don't fully understand the essence of what

129
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: it is. This was my experience. This is where my

130
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: journey started, way back in two thousand and eight, and

131
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: this is when my husband and I decided to start

132
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: our own business in real estate. Do you guys remember

133
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: what happened in two thousand and eight. Okay, probably not

134
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: the best time to be getting in real estate. When

135
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: we were getting in, everybody was getting out. But we

136
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: decided we were going to get into real estate. I

137
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: was too young to probably be naive enough to understand

138
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: really fully what was going on, and we just did

139
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: the one thing that our mentor told us to do,

140
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: and that was to pick a niche, and so we

141
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: picked short sales. We hit the market space on. Within

142
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: a couple of years, we had bought and sold millions

143
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: of dollars worth of real estate. We were managing fifty

144
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: to seventy short sale files. We had a staff and

145
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: a team. We grew very very quickly. But three years

146
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 2: later we found ourselves one hundred thousand dollars in debt

147
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: living in my mom's basement, which at that time, when

148
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: you're twenty three years old, you guys like, that's not

149
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: the dream you aspire to is to like move back

150
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: in with your mom. Generally when you move out, you

151
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: don't want to move in. Can I get an amen?

152
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: So at that point my husband I were like, Okay,

153
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: there is something here that we don't fully understand. And

154
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: at that point we didn't know what it was because

155
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: we had right, we had done all the right things,

156
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: we had applied all the right skill set, but for us,

157
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: we didn't have the mindset. We weren't thinking like Heaven thinks.

158
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: And so there we found ourselves right spending more than

159
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: we were making and looking for the dollar to justify

160
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: the whole within us that was going or we enough,

161
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: are we doing enough? Well, we have enough. When I

162
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: have more money, then I'll be significant. When I have

163
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: more money, then we have something to add to the

164
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: world around us. And God had a complete shift that

165
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: mindset for us, and so he started to train us

166
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: around what does it look like to have a heavenly mindset?

167
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: So from there I decided, you know, I'm gonna give

168
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: my pain purpose amen, anyone ever done that before? So

169
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: I decided to actually start doing business coaching, and so

170
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: here in Denver I started to lead some of the

171
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: fastest growing mastermind groups for business owners. And at the time,

172
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: I would teach them how do you build a business

173
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: process mapp being, strategic planning, who to hire, who to fire,

174
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: all the things that it takes to build a business.

175
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: And I started to understand something that has led me

176
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: to where I am now, which is called the gap,

177
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: the gap between information and transformation. We'll put it this way,

178
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: the gap between your dream and reality, the gap between

179
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: the prophecy and the fulfillment of that prophecy. How many

180
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: of you know that in between is rather challenging, right?

181
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: And I saw this because every single week I would

182
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: give people the tools to be successful. Right. I would

183
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: give them the process map, and two weeks later they

184
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 2: would come back and not have used it. I give

185
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: them the plan and they come back and guess what,

186
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: didn't use it? How many of us have done that?

187
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: How many of us have bought the workout routine and

188
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: then didn't do it. How many of us hired the

189
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: trainer and we're like, it's not me, it must be you.

190
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: Because it's not working. You're like, well, how long have

191
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: you been training? You're like seven minutes? Like, well, generally

192
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: you have to work out longer than say, forget it right.

193
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: You're like forget it Like, no, I am the first

194
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: human that that workout routine will not work. It only

195
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: works if you work it right. But I started to

196
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: notice that people come in, You're like, what is this?

197
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: There was this insane gap and it was almost like

198
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: the more we googled, the less we know. So I

199
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: became fascinated by this gap. I started to dive into

200
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: what it was because I had this my own experiences.

201
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: But then at this point in time, my husband and

202
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: I found ourselves mid thirties, at what's so would call

203
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: a midlife crisis, but we were too young to really

204
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: own that title, and so we decided to call it

205
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: a midlife awakening. You can use that, sir, if you

206
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: ever need to use that. Just so, it's a midlife awakening,

207
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: it's not a crisis. So for us, again, we had

208
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: rebuilt our lives, we had done all the things that

209
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: people said that you should do to be successful, and

210
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: yet we were still feeling unfulfilled, asking that question, is

211
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: there something more so, we did what most people don't do,

212
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: and instead of buying the car or getting a tattoo,

213
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: we sold everything. We sold everything and started traveling the

214
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: country in an ARV and at the time we had

215
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: three kids under the age of five. Yeah, people like,

216
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: that's awesome, that's the best time to do it. You've

217
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: never done it, you have never done it. For my husband,

218
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: it was heaven on earth. He was living his best life,

219
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: loved every minute of it, freest man you'd seen. That

220
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: was not my experience. That for me, it was when

221
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: I realized that I had some control issues that God

222
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: was gonna need to sort out. I liked my routine.

223
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: I like the box. I like the way that everything

224
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: fit inside the box nicely, and so for me, it

225
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: was this time that I realized, like, oh man, I

226
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: might not be as free as I think that I am.

227
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm free, and I feel free when I have my routine.

228
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: I'm free when things work out the way that I

229
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: thought they would. I'm free when things go as planned.

230
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: But the minute that I actually was outside of that,

231
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: I started to realize that I was now asking the

232
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: things around me to give me something they weren't designed

233
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: to give me. I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna preach

234
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: that sermon later that that will change everything when we

235
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: start to realize that we're asking the resources around us

236
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: to be our source. Your level of dreaming will be

237
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: dependent upon your level of freedom, but your level of

238
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: freedom will be dependent upon your levels of dependency in Him.

239
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: This is when I realized I did not have that

240
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: equation connect. So as we're traveling the country in the RV,

241
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm asking God, I'm petitioning him. For God, there has

242
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: to be something more. There has to be something more. Well,

243
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: there was was in a movie called The Greatest Showman.

244
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: Anyone ever seen that movie already you know exactly what

245
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. Changed my life. Hugh Jackman. I was

246
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: watching that. I was like, Hugh Jackman is just speaking

247
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: Heaven to me. I just wish that my life could

248
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 2: be Hugh Jackman's life and the Greatest Showman. Anyways, I'm

249
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: watching this movie and I'm going, God, this, this is

250
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: what it's supposed to be. Like. Well, we're singing and

251
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: dancing and alive and full of life. And I could

252
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: tell that he was kind of giggling at the whole idea.

253
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: So I found myself laying in bed at night, tears

254
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: running down my face, just because I went, God, I

255
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: want to do what you're doing. Has anyone ever prayed

256
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: that part, God, I want to do what you're doing?

257
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: And I had an open eyed vision. And in that

258
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: open eyed vision, which I don't have a lot of,

259
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: I saw what looked like a world of people who

260
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: were shuffling their feet, looking almost depressed, depleted, deflated, anxio,

261
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: just looking for questions, but they were looking down. Almost

262
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: looked like a scene of the movie Trolls. Anyone's seen

263
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: that movie. If you're a parent, you know exactly what

264
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. Look like a scene of the Bourgains.

265
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: But I will witness these people, and I thought, what

266
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: is wrong? They are a lot. They are living, but

267
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: they're not alive. They're going through the motions, but they're

268
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: not connected with something bigger than themselves. And instantly I

269
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: saw in fire letters flash across the sky the word

270
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: dream and I sat up because in that moment, I

271
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: swore that God had given me the algorithm of heaven.

272
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: Little did I know that he actually had given me

273
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: what's called our dream framework, which starts to bridge the

274
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: gap between where you are and where you want to be.

275
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: And I knew in that moment that there was something

276
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: different that we needed to be paying attention to. I

277
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: knew in that moment that God was going to be

278
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: drawing in the body of Christ to look in a

279
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: totally different realm and does no longer need the world

280
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: around them to give them something that He already gave them.

281
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: But what I also didt know is that He was

282
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: gonna take me on a journey of what it actually

283
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: meant to dream with God. And so he drew me

284
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: in for the next couple of years. As I began

285
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: to put pen to paper and write this book, he

286
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: redefined what that word meant. And I don't know if

287
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: our slides are working. Are they working? I haven't seen

288
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: them working, So if not, I'm gonna give you my

289
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: definition of what this word means. It's a longer definition,

290
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: so bear with me. But I'm gonna give you what

291
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: this definition means at the conference. I'm actually gonna walk you. Yes,

292
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: we'd missed a couple of slides, so I wasn't sure

293
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: if we had those. Here's what it means to dream.

294
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: It's the ability to have this great and intense focus

295
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: in a totally different realm that brings about the possibilities

296
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: while considering the needs of those around you. I'm gonna

297
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: say this again. It's the ability to have such great

298
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: and intense focus where not on the world around us.

299
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: These are spiritual eyes. These are eyes connected to a

300
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: totally different realm. It's called the heavenly realm, where inside

301
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: of you. That's God's voice in you that brings about possibilities,

302
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: that build something from nothing and gives it away to

303
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: the world around them. You want a shorter definition. It

304
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: means heaven on earth. It means heaven on earth. This

305
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: is what it means to dream. Now, here's the interesting

306
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: thing about this word. This word is not designed to

307
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: make us feel good. It won't. This word is actually

308
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: designed to make you be good. It's designed to make

309
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: you be everything that God created you to be. It's

310
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: designed to get you out of your comfort zone, out

311
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: of the boat, gets you walking on water, looking at

312
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: Him amongst the waves, and to do what only you

313
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 2: can do because your eyes are on Jesus. Last I checked,

314
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: that doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel good. If you

315
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: went we went and sat and talked to Noah about

316
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: when he was building the ark when everybody thought he

317
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: was crazy. He would have looked at you going this

318
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: does not feel good if you had asked Moses, who stand.

319
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: I can't imagine being Moses in the wilderness with people

320
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: grumbling and complaining for forty years. I can't take on

321
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: my kids grumble and complain for four minutes. Can you

322
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: imagine being Moses for forty years didn't even get to

323
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 2: enter the Promised Land. You get to heaven, and you'd

324
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: be like, really, God, why Moses was connected to a

325
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: dream that was bigger than his own life. Some of

326
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: us say, well, Julia, you don't understand. Life is just

327
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 2: so busy. It just gets in the way. If life

328
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: is getting in the way of us living our dreams,

329
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: than what is the point of life? So the interesting

330
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: thing about dreaming is that it's not designed to make

331
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: you feel good. It's designed to make you be good.

332
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: You have a dream, but God is after your character.

333
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: He's after your character. You want the destination. He wants

334
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: your heart. He wants you to have a dream, but

335
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't want that dream to have you. And so

336
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: the idea of the day that he gives you the dream,

337
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: the day that you receive the prophecy and the day

338
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: that thing manifests are two totally different days, true or true,

339
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: and we think that the in between is designed to

340
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 2: break us. We start wondering, where are you God? Why

341
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: are you not answering my prayers? Where you gave me

342
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: that dream? Where did you go? Why are you so

343
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: far away? Tony Robin says, is, but the quality of

344
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: your questions determines the quality of your answers. And some

345
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: of us are asking God questions we do not want

346
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: the answer for, and so we start to think that

347
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: there's something wrong with the in between. Do you want

348
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: to know what the Mbae tween is about? It's about

349
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 2: your character. It's about you becoming everything that God is

350
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: wanting you to become. Why so when you get to

351
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: the manifestation of the dream that you have the character

352
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: to hold the weight of the blessing, he doesn't want

353
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: you just to get there. He wants you to stay there.

354
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: This isn't about us feeling good, It's about us being good.

355
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: This is what it means to actually partner with the prophetic.

356
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: Someone needs to write that down. Part of dreaming is

357
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: learning how to partner with the prophetic. What does that mean?

358
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: It actually means, not just to know what's wrong in

359
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: the in between, not just to know that God, you

360
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: see this obstacle, and do you see this problem? And

361
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: have you watched the news and have you scrolled on

362
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: social media? Some of us who even feel energy and

363
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: we feel the demonic we go, oh, I know what

364
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: the enemy is doing. How many of us have actually

365
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: walked in the room and gone, Okay, I see what

366
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 2: the enemy is doing. But God, what are you doing?

367
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 2: And what do you want me to do about it?

368
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: This is what we're supposed to be bringing to this world.

369
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: We actually need to be the ones. It's so funny.

370
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: Dion he's a dear friend of mine and he's a

371
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: VP of the National Day of Prayer, and they announced

372
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: at their last conference. Kathy says, this made this statement

373
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: that I just the everything in me life, my light

374
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: aunt within me turned on. She says, we think that

375
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: the world is getting darker, but she says, I would

376
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 2: like to suggest that we're just getting dimmer. Think about it.

377
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 2: When you read all the Bible, you read the Old Testament,

378
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: and you think about how crazy some of those stories are,

379
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: You're like, you don't even want to read them to

380
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: your children. Because they're gonna go they did. What You're like,

381
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: I don't I don't really actually know how to explain

382
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: that to you, as they're like throwing babies into the fire.

383
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? Like? It has always

384
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: been dark? So now we find ourselves easily rightfully? So

385
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: still saying, well, it is just really dark out there? True?

386
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 2: Or is the light just getting dimmer? If we have

387
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: our way this weekend, we are about to shine bright.

388
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: We're about to shine bright. Why? Because what is dreaming?

389
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: Dreaming is now my ability to actually connect with the

390
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: heavenly realities, to be so heavenly minded that I do

391
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: earthly good. This is what it means to dream. Now

392
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: that we have to ask, Okay, great, if this is

393
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 2: what it means to dream, then why do we need

394
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: to do it? Well? I think a lot of that

395
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: is interlaced in there. I think I did a pretty

396
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 2: good job of already starting to point to the reasons

397
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: as to why we need to be dreaming. But just

398
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: for the sake of the exercise, let's talk about why

399
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: we as believers need to be dreaming. Number One, When

400
00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 2: we dream, God's name is glorified. Some of us think

401
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: that dreaming is selfish. I would like to propose that

402
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: it's the least selfish thing that you could do, and

403
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: by not dreaming, you're actually being selfish. And when we dream,

404
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: his name is glorified. If you look at Matthew five

405
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: versus fourteen, it says you are though. Yeah, you are

406
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: the light of the world. You are the what the light?

407
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: What is the light? Due to the darkness? It dispels it,

408
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: It dispels it. Can I get my slides to follow me?

409
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: Matthew five fourteen? You are the light of the world.

410
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: Neither do people light a lamp and put it under

411
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 2: a bowl. Instead where do they put it on a stand?

412
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: And it gives light to everyone? Say everyone, do you

413
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: know what that word means? I'm just go make it serious.

414
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: Awake everyone. It gives light to everyone. I think that

415
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: the body of Christ has been playing small. I think

416
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: that we've actually been hiding, and we tend to hide

417
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: because of a place of pain. If I don't feel safe, secure,

418
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: or stable, it's really easy and logical for me to hide.

419
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 2: But what the Bible is telling us is that we

420
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: are the light of the world. Neither do people light

421
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they

422
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: put it on its stand and it gives light to

423
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 2: everyone in the house. You playing small is not going

424
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: to support the case in the same way. Let your

425
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: light shine before others that they may see your good

426
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: and praise who. They need to see your good deeds

427
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: so that they can praise someone, not you Him. That

428
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: means that you need to get out of the boat

429
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: that's on you. But then you're gonna need to walk

430
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: on water and that will be on God. And the

431
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: world needs to see both. They need to see a

432
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: group of people that are willing to get out of

433
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: the boat out of comfortability, out of safety and security

434
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: and stability, actually start walk, positioning themselves to walk on water.

435
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: And then they need to see a group of people

436
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: do impossible things. Why see, Oh yeah I did that,

437
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: I wrote that book, I started that business, I got up,

438
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: I did a few more push ups. I can do

439
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: hard things. But then let me tell you about God.

440
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: And they're gonna say, who did you say? You're gonna

441
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: go God, and you're gonna realize not everybody knows him. Trude,

442
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: I'm saying sometimes in church we forget not everybody knows Him.

443
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: But they need to see you, so they can see

444
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 2: a reflection of him. They need to see a reflection

445
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 2: of him. This is why we need to be dreaming.

446
00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: Number two, The whole world is waiting. Well, that seems

447
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: a little That seems a little much, Julia. Well not,

448
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 2: according to Romans says, for the creation waits an eager

449
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: expectation for the children of God to be revealed. Do

450
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: you know what I think is happening on social media

451
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: right now? Do you know what I think is happening

452
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: in the news. I think the whole world is groaning

453
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: for an answer, and it's reading the facts and it

454
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: is not doing the job. Why Because the world doesn't

455
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 2: need facts, it needs truth. So it's groaning and it

456
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: is waiting for who you and I for all the

457
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 2: all creation is waiting for the children of God to

458
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: be revealed. Well, then it's easy if you're like me,

459
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: it's easy to go. Yeah, But Julia, you don't understand

460
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 2: my past. You don't understand where I've been, You don't

461
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: understand my pain, you don't understand my current circumstances. You

462
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: don't understand my bank account, you don't understand. No, you're right,

463
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I will never be here to pretend

464
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 2: that I understand. But I will say that again if

465
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: we go to truth, not facts, because that's what we

466
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: need right now. We don't need more facts, we need truth.

467
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: If you keep reading in Romans verse twenty six, it

468
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 2: says that in the same way the Spirit helps us

469
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: in our weakness, that's when he has made manifest is

470
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: in your place of weakness. When you come to the

471
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: end of yourself, we find him. We find him. So today,

472
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: if you're at the end of yourself, good you bet

473
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: to pull down Heaven's realities. Then today you are about

474
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: Satan wants you to think that you've come to the

475
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: end of yourself and it is time to be done.

476
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: I want you to know it is just the beginning.

477
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: If you are at the end of yourself, ask me

478
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: how I know November second through the fourth you come,

479
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: I'll tell you everything I know. Okay, Look, then if

480
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 2: you go into verse twenty eight, though, it says, and

481
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: we know that in all things everyone say all things.

482
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: Do you know what that word means? All things? That

483
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 2: means in all things? Your past, your current circumstances, the

484
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: things that have happened haven't happened. How much money you

485
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: have or don't have in the bank account, what your

486
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: dad did or didn't do, what your mom did or

487
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: didn't do, what the economy did or didn't do. In

488
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: all things, sometimes it's easy to forget. We think, well,

489
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: but except for this one thing, it is. In all things,

490
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: God works for the good of those who loved him,

491
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: who have been called according to His purpose. For those

492
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 2: God foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the

493
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: image of his son. Look at verse thirty. Those he predestined,

494
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: he called, Those he called, he justified, those he justified,

495
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: he glorified. He did that. Here's why this is an

496
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: incredible message that is just easy for us to misunderstand

497
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: or not to be able to interpret into our real life.

498
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: The Old Testament points to the fact that we needed law.

499
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 2: What was law to acknowledge that we had sin? No

500
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: law equals no sin. Right, if there's no speed limit,

501
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 2: I don't actually know that I should be pulled over

502
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: if I'm going too fast or too slow. Right, So

503
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 2: I will have a speed limit. Why so it proves

504
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: that there would be sin. So the law was ushered

505
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: in to say you will have an end to yourself.

506
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: You are a sinner. That's why there was law. Then

507
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: Jesus came and he became Grace. So law got us

508
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: to the end of ourselves to realize I can only

509
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: get so far. I need a savior, I need something more.

510
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: Is there something more? Yes, he has a name. His

511
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: name is Jesus. So he enters the scene is Grace,

512
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: and we know the concept. But I'm here to tell

513
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: you today that Grace isn't a concept. He's a person,

514
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: and he lives on the inside of you, and in

515
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: your place of weakness, in your place of I'm done,

516
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: in your place of I don't know that I can

517
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: take one more step. In your lack of dreams and

518
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: your lack of unfulfillment of those dreams, he is right

519
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: there saying my turn. I literally see over a couple

520
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: of your heads, yours, yours and yours, It says, my

521
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: turn over your head. You have hit a point, you

522
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: three that you have almost given up, and the people

523
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 2: around you actually don't know, and you are feeling shame

524
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: or guilt of telling them that you have taken it

525
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: as far as you can go. And some days you're like,

526
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm in the zone. How many of us? Who's my willpower?

527
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: That you're like, I could do this, not even I

528
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: could do all things through Christ. I'm just gonna do it.

529
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. And then you've hit other days

530
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: you're like, I don't got this. Is that just me?

531
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: You're like, but tell no one, tell no one people.

532
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: Are you good? You're like good, I'm good solid, This

533
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: is solid. I'm a solid good. God wants you three

534
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: specifically to know that He has all over you my turn,

535
00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: and you need to shift into Holy spirit pace, Holy

536
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: spirit pace. When you come to the end of yourself,

537
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: you will find him. Number three. Why do we need

538
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: to be dreaming with God? It was one of the

539
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: core jobs Jesus had on earth, And if it was

540
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: his job, it's hard job. Of course, we know that

541
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: Jesus's main job was for you to enter into grace

542
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: so that we could live with him for eternity. He died,

543
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: he came, died, rose again, so that we could be

544
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: an eternity with him forever. He came to set us free.

545
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: That freedom cost him everything, It cost us nothing, It

546
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: cost us nothing, right, so he came. He came to

547
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: do this. John ten Ten says, I came that you

548
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: may have and life. What does that word mean everything,

549
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: all the things, more than enough, overflowing, abundant life. That's

550
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: why he came. I didn't come so you would play small.

551
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: I didn't come so that you would settle. I didn't

552
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: come so that you would fit in. I didn't come

553
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: so that you would even know all the answers. Bill

554
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: Johnson says this all the time. But if you can't

555
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: understand the mysteries of God, you'll never understand the revelations

556
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: of God. Some of us are like, yeah, but God,

557
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: I don't understand that. Well, if you did, then you

558
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't need him to begin with. And if we can't

559
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 2: understand the mysteries of God, do you think you could

560
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: actually understand his revelations? He's that big and you're like, yeah,

561
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: but Julia, I'm afraid, then get closer. Well, then, but

562
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could trust him, Then get closer.

563
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could dream with him anymore.

564
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: Then get closer. Proximity to him will matter to you.

565
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: He says, I have come the day might have life

566
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: and life more abundantly. And then while he's here, he

567
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: sets our pace. Before he leaves, He's like, by the way,

568
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: very truly, I tell you, if you read in verse

569
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: twelve Dawn fourteen, verse twelve, very truly, I tell you,

570
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: whoever believes in me will do the works I have

571
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: been doing, and even greater. Why because I'm going to

572
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: the Father and I will do whatever you ask in

573
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: my name so that the Father may be glorified in

574
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: the sun. So ask me for anything in my name,

575
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: and I will do it. Mm hm. He's setting our pace.

576
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: He's setting our pace. And believe me, there's somebody you

577
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: are like, yeah, but I've been petitioning, and I've been petitioning,

578
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: and God's not doing. He's not done. Some of us

579
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: have to remember He's not done. Do we want to

580
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: see the fulfillment of our dreams on this side of eternity? Absolutely,

581
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: But remember this is so much bigger than just this

582
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: blip of time, and the closer we get to him,

583
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: I think why he's saying this is this isn't just

584
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: an invitation to do cool things. Do we want to

585
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: see Red Sea's part? Yes? Do we want to build

586
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: an arc? Yes? Do we want to do the impossible? Yes?

587
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: Write books and start businesses? And yes yes yes, don't

588
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: get me wrong, but this I don't think that Jesus

589
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: is saying this is because he just wants us to

590
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: do cool things. If you keep reading, he says, and

591
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: you will do whatever you ask in my name so

592
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: that the Father might be glorified. You may ask anything

593
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: in my name. That's about proximity. That is about the

594
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: closeness to his heart, because the closer I am to

595
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: his heart, the more I am praying from his heart. Now,

596
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: I'm not living for love. I'm living from love. I'm

597
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: living from revelation. Now. It's not even about the stuff

598
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: I already got, the stuff I already have him. It's

599
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: not about the dream. I'm connected to the dream giver,

600
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: dream maker. Do you see what I'm saying. When I'm

601
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: that close hit, that's an invitation for Jesus to come,

602
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: come closer to me, so that your life is an

603
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: overflow of being that close to the Lord that you

604
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: can't not give it away to the world around you.

605
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: That's what we're supposed to be to this world is

606
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: an overflow of who he is. Is he a good

607
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: father that he wants us to have good things on

608
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: this side of eternity. Absolutely, I've had nothing, and I've

609
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: had stuff. I'd prefer stuff. Do you know what I'm saying? Like,

610
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: we're not. We're not here at preaching either an oh

611
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: over abundance or you know the scarce thy No, we're

612
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: here just saying I just know that God is a

613
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 2: god of over and above, and the closer we get

614
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: to His heart, the more we will overflow from the

615
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: goodness of His heart. What does that mean? It now

616
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: means a Him is my pace. I live from victory,

617
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: you live from love, You live from significance. Some of

618
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: you today are going, am I enough? Am I significant?

619
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 2: You are? Do you hear me? What's your name? No?

620
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: You turn around right now? Nope, yep you Yeah, Selena.

621
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: He wants you to know you've been asking that question,

622
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: am I enough? You either feel like you're too much

623
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: or not enough? And God wants you to know that

624
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: you you actually live from significance and that when you

625
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: live from significance and you act as though you will

626
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 2: walk on water and you will give room for people

627
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: to feel the significance of heaven. Do you hear me?

628
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: You carry the value system of heaven. This isn't just

629
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: even for Selena. You have to realize, guys, when you

630
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 2: understand that you live from significance and you live from value.

631
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 2: You actually now are in the value system of Heaven.

632
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: You're no longer looking around at the world asking you

633
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: to give it something that was never designed to give you.

634
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: Am I enough? Am I doing enough? Am I valued?

635
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 2: Am I seen? Am I heard? We're asking all these questions. No,

636
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: when we align with this word, we're now living from

637
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 2: heaven value system. You need to usher in the value

638
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: system of Heaven every room that you walk into. So

639
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 2: when you walk into a room and instantly you start

640
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: to feel like, oh I don't feel significant, I don't

641
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: feel value, seen or heard. That's the enemy and there

642
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 2: is that energy that's happening in the room. And you

643
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: need to walk into the room and you need to

644
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: bring the significance of Heaven into the room. How do

645
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 2: we do that? Yeah, we do that physically, right, we're

646
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: actually going to pace with the Holy Spirit physically and

647
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: what we're doing. But number four, the other reason of

648
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: why we need to be dreaming with God, it's actually

649
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: how Jesus taught us to pray. The disciples I love

650
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: of all the things that they could ask Jesus, so

651
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 2: like kay, hey ha, how should we pray? I would

652
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 2: ask God like can I have a better strategic plan

653
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: or like a process map? You know what I'm saying,

654
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: Who's my strategy? People in the room, There's not very

655
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 2: many of you. You guys. My director of operations, Cammi

656
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: is like the strategist from this girl's like on a

657
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: Trello board and she just does all of the things.

658
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: I've never seen strategy before her. And I joke all

659
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: the time that if I had a question for Jesus,

660
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: I would have been like, give me Heaven's strategy. I

661
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: want to do all the things. How many of us

662
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: want to do all the things. We want to do

663
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: all the things, But what happens with all the things

664
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: oftentimes is we burn out. So I love that the

665
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: disciples are coming Jesus and they actually have the courage

666
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: to go. How do you want us to pray? And

667
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: we know this prayer so well, But if you look

668
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: at our prayer life, and this is not to shame,

669
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: blame or guilt, but if you look at our prayer life,

670
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 2: we're like begging God. We're like begging God, or some

671
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: of us aren't even praying out loud. Again, this is

672
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 2: no shame or blame or guilt, but we have forgotten

673
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: what prayer is. Prayer is partnering with what heaven is doing. Yes,

674
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,959
Speaker 2: we need to be taking our heart to Father God

675
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 2: every night and every morning. We need to be passing

676
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: our cares, taking our hearts, our pain, our fears, our worries,

677
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: and everything in between. He's that good. But then we

678
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: have to realize that prayer is actually partnering and aligning

679
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 2: with what Heaven is doing. So when we walk out

680
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: of those doors, that we're in alignment with what it's doing.

681
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 2: And he says that if you look at what Jesus

682
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: says to disciples, he says, our Beloved Father, dwelling in

683
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 2: the heavenly realms. Number one, He gets us looking up

684
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: in our prayer. He doesn't say, Father God, let's look

685
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 2: around at all the problems going around us. First, he says,

686
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: Father God, dwelling in the heavenly realms. He puts our

687
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: attention on him. Why because whatever you pay attention to

688
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: will have your life. So he says, we're first, were

689
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: going to put our attention there, dwelling in the heavenly realms.

690
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: May the glory of your name be the center on

691
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: which our lives turn. What is he doing. He's even

692
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 2: having us go. Yeah, I might have a dream, but

693
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: he's going look higher. I want you, Lord to be

694
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 2: the center in which my life turns. I want you

695
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: to be the center in which my life turns. Then

696
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: he says, manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every

697
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: purpose to be fulfilled on earth just as it is

698
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 2: in heaven. What does that word manifest mean? To show?

699
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: To display how many of us are praying that prayer?

700
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: After today? This is our prayer every day in between

701
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: now and dare to dream conference and then forevermore. We

702
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 2: are going to pray this prayer as a church, and

703
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: we're going to put our attention on Heaven, and we're

704
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: going to rededicate our lives to spend only on His glory.

705
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 2: Why because that's where we live. We don't live from

706
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: this world to His world. We live from His world

707
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 2: to this world. We don't need more balance, we need alignment.

708
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: The world is trying to sell you on a balanced life.

709
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: Pinterest and Instagram and all these quotes are like, you

710
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: should be more balanced, said Noah and Moses and Jesus.

711
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 2: Never they were not balanced, they were aligned. Yeah, but

712
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that everybody's happy, said

713
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 2: Jesus never. I just want to be comfortable, said Jesus never.

714
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: He even was like, God, please, if you would take

715
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 2: his cup from me, I don't want to do this

716
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 2: hard thing. But for the joy set before him? What

717
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: is that? The dream? Not just the dream that you

718
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: have on earth? It is actually he looked, highed and

719
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: goes for the joy set before him. I will endure

720
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: the hard things. I will endure the obstacles. Why so

721
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: then I can see you perfected in and through my life.

722
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna do. That's what we're gonna do.

723
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: Why because number five and I'm gonna land here, is

724
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 2: that number five is that we are here dreaming with

725
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 2: God because it is part of our greatest commission that

726
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: is on us. Jesus says, I'm gonna go. You're in.

727
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: He tagged us in, and he gave us his commission.

728
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: He says Matthew twenty eight nineteen. Therefore go everyone, say go,

729
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them

730
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: in the name of the Father and of the Son

731
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 2: and of the Holy Spirit. That means we have a

732
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: job to do. We have a job to do, and

733
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: if you're here today, I want to remind you that

734
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: that dream and that prophecy that God's given you, it

735
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 2: is real and it is alive. And this weekend, I'm

736
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: gonna invite you into three action steps for you to

737
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: align with what God has already spoken on your life.

738
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: Prophecy is not just telling you what could and might

739
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 2: happen next. Prophecy is a call back to what God

740
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: has always been saying. If you remember when He began

741
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: the beginning, he sat at the end. So if I'm

742
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: actually walking in the prophetic with him, that means I'm

743
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 2: just coming back to what He has already said over

744
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 2: my life. So today I'm gonna have us do three things.

745
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: Number one, I'm gonna ask you to take a crazy

746
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 2: step of faith, just like your pastor did. And I'm

747
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: gonna ask you to scan the QR code that you

748
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: find on the flyers and we're gonna put it up here.

749
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna ask you to join us for Dare

750
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: to Dream Conference. My least favorite thing to do about

751
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 2: my business, that always tell my team is to sell.

752
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: And I am not asking you to come to this

753
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: conference to sell you. I'm asking you to come. I'm

754
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: begging you to come because the world needs what God

755
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 2: has put on the end side of you, and on

756
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 2: the other side of your obedience is always blessing. So

757
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you to scan this code and I'm

758
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: going to ask you to come on a tactical level.

759
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 2: Sure early word pricing against tomorrow. We've given you an

760
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: extra ten percent off as a house that you could

761
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 2: come and invite your friends. Use that ten percent off

762
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 2: for anyone and everyone you know, And I'm going to

763
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: ask you to come to this conference and to say

764
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 2: yes to the dream that maybe you've put on the shelf.

765
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: There's some of you who are so pained by that word,

766
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna ask that you trust him one more time.

767
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: Number two, when you walk out the room, I'm going

768
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 2: to ask you go talk to my team at that

769
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: table and you grab one of those books. And the

770
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: reason I'm gonna ask you to grab that book, my

771
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: fingerprint is not on that book. When God asked me

772
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: to write it, I told him no. I downplayed his

773
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: voice and I downplayed myself because at the time when

774
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 2: you asked me to write that book, I was in

775
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 2: the marketplace. I loved him, but I was an F

776
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 2: bomb dropping wine drinking girl. I stand before you today

777
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: simply a woman who said that everything I was wanting,

778
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 2: the fire he given me was on the work that

779
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: I was avoiding. So I just said, yes. Not only

780
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: have I figured out my F bomb and I've given

781
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: that to the Lord. He's my bomb, but my husband

782
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: and I are two years sober and we have found

783
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: the fire. And that book will set you off fire.

784
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: And then here's the third thing I'm gonna ask. I'm

785
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: gonna ask everyone to stand. I'm gonna ask you to

786
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: stand in if today there was something on the inside

787
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 2: of you that everything went yes, I'm gonna ask you

788
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: to do something about your yes. And there's those of

789
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 2: you who might not know g today. And this is

790
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: a simple yes to enter into the freedom he died

791
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 2: for that doesn't cost you anything other than just the declaration.

792
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 2: So if you were here today and you have never

793
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: accepted Jesus into your heart, will you raise your hand

794
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 2: for me. I want to make sure we don't miss

795
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 2: anyone on this. This is the most important decision you

796
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: can make. In a lot of times they go you

797
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: should call ever, close your eyes about your head. No,

798
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: this is something we need to be celebrating Heaven will

799
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 2: get one more. Is there anyone that needs to accept

800
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 2: Jesus or doesn't know this Jesus? Okay, great number two.

801
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 2: Those of you who want to realign with what Heaven

802
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: is saying over your life, will you please raise your hand?

803
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 2: If you are ready to dream with God, will you

804
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: please raise your hand. Amen. I'm gonna ask you to

805
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: get crazy, and I'm gonna ask you to come up

806
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: fromt I'm gonna ask you to come up front and

807
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: to be seen. I'm gonna ask you to shine the

808
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: light in the darkest areas. And by doing this, I

809
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 2: want you to know that this is like marching around

810
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 2: your walls Jericho and telling Satan no more. Fear stops today,

811
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: worry stops today, anxiety stops today. It stops today. Why

812
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: because Heaven has already sung its song over your life.

813
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 2: And so today all we're gonna do is surrender to

814
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: that word. We're just gonna surrender. We're not gonna strive,

815
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: we're not gonna achieve. We are simply going to surrender

816
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 2: and we're gonna say yes, Okay, that's all we're gonna do.

817
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 2: And then God is gonna say my turn he's gonna

818
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 2: say my turn. Baby, he's gonna say, give me your hands.

819
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 2: He's gonna say my turn. He's gonna say my turn.

820
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 2: He's gonna say my turn. If you are comfortable, I

821
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 2: either want you to raise your hands or I want

822
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 2: you to grab the hand next to us. And then

823
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 2: the count of three, we're gonna say my turn. One, two, three,

824
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: My turn. Heaven says it is. It's turn over your

825
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 2: life and over the dreams. So in the mighty name

826
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: of Jesus, I declare, Heaven, you have your way. Jesus,

827
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 2: you have your way. I thank you that the stronghold

828
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 2: of fear, small mindedness, and insecurity is gone today. I

829
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 2: thank you for the shackles that are around our ankles

830
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: and our necks are gone today. And I pray for

831
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 2: the power of Heaven. I release freedom in one hand

832
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: and fire in another. I put freedom in one hand

833
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 2: and fire in another. I thank you, Father God, that

834
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: the body of Christ now in this word of life,

835
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: Church God, will rise up, and that they will see

836
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 2: who you have called them to be all along. And

837
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: we will surrender our will. We will surrender our way,

838
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 2: and we will surrender our time, and we will say

839
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 2: yes everyone say yes, say yes, Say yes. God, you

840
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: have our yes. You have our yes, not our will,

841
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: not our way, not our time. God, We just have

842
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 2: our yes. And I thank you for divine revelation and

843
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: the mighty name of Jesus. God. I thank you that

844

Speaker 2: one of us. And I thank you the mighty name

846
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: of Jesus, that you sanctify, you, glorify, Father God, what

860
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: I want you to write it down. I don't care

861
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: if you saw a color. I don't care if you

862
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: saw a number. I don't care if you saw the

863
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: strategy of heaven. I don't care if you're like I

864
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 2: saw nothing, but I felt something. Give it a word,

865
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 2: give it a name. I want you to document it.

866
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: And here's why I want you to do that, because

869
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: going to open that vision, and you were going to

870
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: clearly continue to say it over and over and over again,

871
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. Do you hear me?
