Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Success by the Book Podcast, the place where Christians who want to experience the extravagant goodness of God in all areas of their lives come from mentorship.
- 0:09SPEAKER_00: I am your host, Dr.
- 0:10SPEAKER_00: Inna, and I'll be unpacking the secrets I have learned from the Word of God over the last two decades.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: Let's dive in.
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: Today I am going to show you how to meditate and how to prepare for 2027, how to use meditation to make 2027 your absolute best year yet, by far.
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: Now, what does meditation have to do with having my best year yet?
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: What does it have to do with having my best year yet?
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: Let me let me tell you, okay.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: Moses was a Moses was the real deal.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 0:49SPEAKER_00: Moses was a leader who set three million Jews free.
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: Moses was a leader who divided a Red Sea.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: Moses was amazing.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: Now after Moses was done, Joshua was the one who was supposed to complete the assignment Moses started.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: Like Moses brought them out of Egypt, but he didn't take them into the promised land.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: Joshua was supposed to do what his boss, Moses, did not do.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: Like imagine God called you and said, okay, you know, this guy divided a Red Sea.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: There are people who have been in bondage for 430 years.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: He set them free, all that stuff, and he wasn't able to finish, but you're the man for the job.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: You're going to finish it.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: How many of you know that's a really tall order?
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: And God's strategy, God told him, Hey, you know, be bold, be courageous.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: You're the one who's gonna give these people their cost them to inherit their inheritance and all of those things, like really wild.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: He said, Be bold, be courageous.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: Then he stopped and gave him a strategy.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: He then said, So, this book of the law, because you know, you have to remember the scripture in context.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: He said, So, Moses, uh Joshua, you have a Herculean task.
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: You have this big task to accomplish.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: So, this is what I want you to do.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: This book of the law should not depart out of your mouth.
- 2:08SPEAKER_00: So, the word of God being in your mouth is not a cute thing to do as a Christian, it's a thing required for victory.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: Because he wasn't talking to Joshua about being a cute Christian.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: He was talking to Joshua about being able to take three million people into the inheritance, which meant fighting wars, which meant building buildings, which meant establishing government and all that.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: And what the idea God came up was this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you will meditate in it day and night, not twice a day, day and night, that you may observe to do all that is written therein, then you will make your way prosperous and then you have some good success.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: Meditation is a success strategy.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: Now, will it help you go deeper in God?
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: Will it help you have be put you in a position where you can hear from God better?
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: Would it put you in a position where you know your scripture?
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: But will it cost you to win?
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: You have to understand it.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: It's not some abstract thing we do to get scripture, you know, like spiritual brownie points and all of that.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: No, it is a strategy given to you for victory, it is a strategy given to you for success.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: It is part of the wisdom of God to make you the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath, for the blessing of God to rest on every area of your life.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: It is tied to meditation.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: So anything, any thought that makes you think, oh, meditation, I just do this just to be nice and holy.
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: It will it make you holy?
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: But that's not all, right?
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: I just do this, you know, so I'm good with God.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: That's not all.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: It is designed to make you prosperous, it is designed to have you help you get not just success, but good success.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: What is good success?
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: Is the God kind of success.
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: The success that affects every area of your life is a success that does not require you to sat to sacrifice your relationship with God.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: It is the success that does not require you to give up heaven to have it where you have all around success.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: Meditation.
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: So your student is designed to help you win there.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: In a marriage, it's designed to help you win there.
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: You know, raising your kids is designed to help you win there, in your health, is designed to help you win there.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: Meditation will rock your world.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: So now, if God's strategy for Joshua is like you're gonna take all this territory and all of this stuff, if it was meditation, guess what a huge part of his strategy for us for winning next year?
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: Guess what it's for?
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: What is what the strategy is?
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: It's meditation.
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: So if I want to be someone who gets God level results in 2027, guess what I'm going to do?
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: I am going to be a person who meditates in the word of God.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: This is not some ritual, Christian ritual.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: No, this is something I do for life and for victory and for prosperity and for success.
- 5:03SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Now, somebody may say, Dr.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: Una, but wait, wait, we're in September.
- 5:09SPEAKER_00: Why are we talking about 2027?
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: Like, is that is Dr.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: Una all right?
- 5:13unknown: Dr.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: Una is all right.
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: This is why.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Now, we have read the scripture, um, Psalm 90, verse 12, that says, Lord, teach us to number our days so we may gain a heart of wisdom.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: If we do not know how to number our days, if we do not know how to think about time, then we cannot be wise.
- 5:32SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 5:33SPEAKER_00: Now, in the process of thinking about time, here's a conclusion I've come to.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: Most people, many people are completely distracted for the last three months of the year.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: Completely.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: They spend all of October planning Halloween, they spend all of November planning Thanksgiving, and they spend all of December planning Christmas.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: So when they then get to the new year, they're like, Yay, happy new year.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: This is my best year yet.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: Then now they're mad because it seems like nothing is working.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: Nothing is working because there is a law that will never go away as long as the earth remains.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: You find it in Genesis chapter 8, verse 22.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: And it says, this is what the law says.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: The law says that seed time and harvest will not cease.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: So if you are looking for a result, aka a harvest, you need to find the seed required for it.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: So the seed, then you get the harvest.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: So if you play away October, November, December, guess what happens in January, February, March?
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: A big fat zero, zero, nothing, nothing is happening.
- 6:39SPEAKER_00: No big results, no big transformation.
- 6:41SPEAKER_00: You may say, Well, I worked really hard in January.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's the seed you sowed.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: So when you get to March and April and May, you will see the harvest of the seed you sowed.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: But January, February, and March is simply a report card for what we did in October, November, December.
- 6:59SPEAKER_00: So guess what?
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: I am not going to do.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: I am not going to play away October, November, November, December.
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: Now, does that mean I'm all bent out of shape?
- 7:08SPEAKER_00: I don't, you know, enjoy the holidays and all that stuff.
- 7:10SPEAKER_00: That's not what it means.
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: But notice it says holiday.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: It doesn't say hello week.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: And it doesn't say holo month.
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: So I am going to enjoy it, but I'm not going to spend the entire month, right?
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: That like I'm not going to do that.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: And so I'm going to be strategic.
- 7:26SPEAKER_00: I'm going to number my days.
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: I'm going to use those days as great days to sow seeds so that come January, February, March, I'm getting results that just don't make sense.
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: Results that make me look like a sign and a wonder, make me look like the family I come from, the family of God.
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: So I start my year in October.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: So October 1st, I'm like, happy new year.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: I do this for all my clients.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: I'm doing this for you now.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: Like, I do not wait till January 1st.
- 7:49SPEAKER_00: And the other thing is, I would have practiced 2027.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: So when I get to January 1st, I'm a boss at 2027.
- 7:56SPEAKER_00: I know how to show up.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: I know what to do.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: I know all of those things.
- 7:59SPEAKER_00: So October 1st is my new new year.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: October 1st is my new new year.
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: So in my programs that I run, guess what they're going to be saying on Thursday, October 1st?
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: They're going to be like, happy EBS New Year.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: That's how we roll.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: That's what we do.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: That's how we roll.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: So this is this is important.
- 8:19SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: So that's why we're working on this now, and we're not working on it in January.
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: Like, why would we work on it in January when we can set the stage for it here?
- 8:27SPEAKER_00: It puts us in a position where we end this year in the most beautiful way possible.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: And then we hit next year like a tornado.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: So we're going to look at these first five verses.
- 8:38SPEAKER_00: We're going to kind of do a live meditation, live mini meditation, if you want, on these things.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: Now remember, we practice Christian meditation.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: It is an active process.
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: So there are forms of meditation where you're told to empty your mind.
- 8:52SPEAKER_00: We don't do that as Christians.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: We fill our minds.
- 8:56SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: We fill our minds with the word of God.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: That's what he said.
- 9:01SPEAKER_00: He said, This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth.
- 9:03SPEAKER_00: You meditate.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: So it is things like saying, is thinking about it, visualizing it, all of those things.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: So what do we do when we meditate?
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: We pray, we ask God to give us understanding of the scriptures.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: We read it for understanding.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: We can write it out.
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: We can say it out of our mouths.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: We can visualize it.
- 9:21SPEAKER_00: And when we're done with all of this, we get ready to act on it, right?
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: Because he says in Joshua 1:8, this book of the law shall not depart in your mouth, but you shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do, right?
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: To do all that is written there, and then you'll make your way prosperous, and then you get good success.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: So we don't leave any of the parts out, okay?
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: So we, you know, like each of the scriptures we're gonna look at, if you wanted to, you could meditate on it for a whole hour, right?
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: But we're gonna do a marathon of sorts and we're just gonna go through it, okay.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: Somebody was asking what EBS is.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: I was referring to my clients.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: So EBS is the entrepreneur business school.
- 9:58SPEAKER_00: It's a program that I run for physicians, for physicians, entrepreneurs, right?
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: So now let me let me let me tell you something else that's really important before we start looking at these five verses, right?
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: Okay, Satan has plans for your 2027.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: How do we know what his plan is?
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: Very simple.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: It's in John, you find it in John 10:10.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: What does it say?
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: The thief, the thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: So, what is his plan for your life for 2027?
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: To bring death, to bring stealing, so losses and destruction.
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: Okay, we don't want that, but that's his plan, and he's going to try to do what he can do to make that happen.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: On the other hand, God has a plan for your 2027.
- 10:59SPEAKER_00: How do we know what that plan is?
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: Same place, same John chapter 10, verse 10.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: It says, but so Satan has come to the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come that you may have life and you may have it more abundantly.
- 11:16SPEAKER_00: So no stealing, no killing, no destruction.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: That is not part of God's plan.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: Why is it important for you to understand this so you can side with God?
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: Because here's the deal: there are two opportunities.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: It's like when you read the Bible, God is like, I place before you today blessing and cursing, and I and I invite you to choose blessing.
- 11:40SPEAKER_00: Because Satan has a plan, God has a plan, we have a will, and with our will, we choose somebody's plan.
- 11:49SPEAKER_00: We either choose Satan's plan or we choose God's plan.
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: And so I may say, who in their right mind would choose Satan's plan?
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: Well, this is the thing.
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: The Bible says in Proverbs 4 23, it says, Guard your heart with all diligence, for it determines the course of your life.
- 12:09SPEAKER_00: So you don't choose by choosing.
- 12:11SPEAKER_00: Oh, I don't want Satan's plan, I want God's plan.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: No, that's not how you choose.
- 12:15SPEAKER_00: You choose as a guard by whose thoughts you allow in.
- 12:22SPEAKER_00: And so if I take Satan's thoughts of stealing, killing, and destruction, like, oh, what will happen in the year?
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna lose this.
- 12:28SPEAKER_00: This person's gonna die.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: Maybe I die young, maybe I get a disease, maybe something happens that goes wrong in my business.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: Oh, what are those?
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: Those are all stealing, killing, destruction thoughts.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: Whose thoughts are those?
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: Those are Satan's thoughts.
- 12:40SPEAKER_00: And you, as a guard, you allow that into your mind.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: The Bible says then it determines the course of your life.
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: So you choose by choosing what you choose to think about, choosing what you want your expectation to be, choosing what you brood on all day.
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: If you brood on stealing, killing, destruction, the Bible says guard your heart with all diligence because it determines the course of your life.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: It means in 2027, you see stealing, killing, and destruction.
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: And for everyone on here, God forbid.
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: But me saying God forbid is not enough.
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: You also have to understand how this works.
- 13:13SPEAKER_00: But on the other hand, you start seeing things according to the word of God, your path shining brighter, God's help being made available to you, his strength being made available, your his wisdom, you're getting sign of wonder level results, him delivering you from every form of destruction and all of that stuff.
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: Then your life lines up with it.
- 13:34SPEAKER_00: Because as a guard, you have kept out the enemy's thoughts and you have allowed in God's thoughts.
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: So you choose by choosing what you meditate on, what you think on, what you brood on, what you expect, what you visualize, what you imagine.
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: That's how you choose, not by saying I choose.
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: So God has a plan, Satan has a plan, you have a will, and with your will, you choose whose plan will show up in your life in 2027.
- 14:09SPEAKER_00: Do you guys see that?
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: So what we're doing is so important because now, with these five verses, we're going to look and say, okay, what is God's plan?
- 14:19SPEAKER_00: So that we only allow thoughts that line up with his plan into our hearts, and the plans that don't, we keep them out because I ain't taking this beautiful mind of mine to brood on what Satan said.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: I'm just not going to do it.
- 14:36SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to do it.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: So, do you see why meditation is so important?
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: And why, as a Christian, you can pray and pray, but refuse to discipline your mind, and your life doesn't match up with your prayers.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: You're like, but I pray, why is this going on?
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: Because guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: Be transformed.
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: How?
- 15:01SPEAKER_00: By the renewing of your mind.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: If the mind doesn't change, the life doesn't change.
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: It doesn't change.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we're gonna look at five verses here.
- 15:14SPEAKER_00: We're gonna meditate on them.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: So we kind of get this picture of when God thinks about my year, what is he thinking?
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: We want to know so we can then meditate.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: We can think on this day and night.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: We we can buy them now identify.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: Oopsie, that's the opposite.
- 15:28SPEAKER_00: That's a Satan thought.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: I'm not letting that in here.
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: All right, so let's look at some scriptures here.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: This is gonna be so fun.
- 15:36SPEAKER_00: I hope you're ready.
- 15:38SPEAKER_00: Now let's look at these verses.
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: So, first one we're gonna look at, and I'm gonna I'm gonna put these up.
- 15:43SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna put these up so you can see them.
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: Now, some of these verses you've seen before.
- 15:49SPEAKER_00: Please never approach the word of God saying, I've seen that before.
- 15:53SPEAKER_00: Please never do that.
- 15:54SPEAKER_00: Why should you never do that?
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: Because the word of God is rich, it's new, it's fresh.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: You can read it a gazillion times, and it's still gonna be it's still gonna be fresh.
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, so let's look at the first one here.
- 16:09SPEAKER_00: Father, I ask, Lord, for myself and for everyone here that you would reveal your word to us, you would reveal your plans for our lives.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: You you will expose every thought that doesn't line up with the word of God.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: You shine your light, that Lord, we will have such revelation, such revelation of where you want to take us to in 2027.
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: And now we have raw material we can meditate on and meditate on day and night and force our lives to comply with your will.
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: That Lord, 2027 will be a year where, I mean, like starting from now, will be a year where we are so mind-blown by the signs and wonders our lives become.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name, amen.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right, let's do some, let's do something, let's do some work here.
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: Okay, so this is active.
- 16:59SPEAKER_00: So I want you to join me as we do it.
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: We're reading, we're unpacking, you're saying it out of your mouth, you're typing in the comments, you're visualizing it like the whole nine yards.
- 17:07SPEAKER_00: Like meditate with all of you, bring all of you to this, okay?
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: Okay, so first scripture.
- 17:11SPEAKER_00: We've looked at this scripture many times, but remember we we look at the Bible with a growth mindset.
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: First scripture is Proverbs chapter 4, verse 18.
- 17:19SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna read it from the Amplified Translation.
- 17:21SPEAKER_00: Look at this.
- 17:22SPEAKER_00: What does it say?
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: But the path of the just or the righteous is like the light of dawn.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: Interesting, okay.
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: Now, what is it about this light of dawn?
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: It shines brighter and brighter until it doesn't stop until it reaches its full strength and glory in the perfect day.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let's unpack this, right?
- 17:56SPEAKER_00: The path of the just.
- 17:57SPEAKER_00: Now, someone may say, I'm not just, I'm not righteous.
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: The Bible talking about it says that Jesus was made righteousness for us.
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: We were made righteous in him.
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: So we have the gift of righteousness, which then empowers us to live righteously.
- 18:14SPEAKER_00: We have the gift of righteousness that empowers us to live righteously, we have the gift of righteousness that empowers us to live righteously.
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: So, guess what?
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: I am righteous.
- 18:26SPEAKER_00: Okay, so this is about me.
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: So, but the path of the just, the righteous, is like the light of dawn, right?
- 18:34SPEAKER_00: It's like if someone says she walks like a cat, you have to go like, so how do cats walk?
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: So you can understand how she walks.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: So if God says my path is like the light of dawn, it's like, okay, what is it about the light of dawn?
- 18:50SPEAKER_00: Okay, and it says that shines brighter and brighter.
- 18:55SPEAKER_00: Let me tell you what you've done, you've not seen.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: Like I have watched many, I have watched many sunrises, right?
- 19:02SPEAKER_00: Like one of my favorite things to do is to be at the beach and to watch the sun rising like over the water.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: It's like, uh, I love it.
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: Which, you know, something happened to me very weird two weeks ago.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: Like, I totally digress, but I was in San Diego, okay.
- 19:21SPEAKER_00: So I've always gone to beaches on the East Coast, like always Florida, you know, uh Tennessee, not Tennessee, um, Florida, Alabama, like all of those places, Georgia, all of that.
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: And so here I am in San Diego, and the sun was setting, and the sun was setting over the water.
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: I'm like, this is so bizarre.
- 19:41SPEAKER_00: Like, what is happening?
- 19:42SPEAKER_00: It never occurred to me that on the West Coast it sets.
- 19:46SPEAKER_00: I was like, okay, that's interesting, that's so strange.
- 19:48SPEAKER_00: But anyway, I digress.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: All right, so anyway, um, so here I go.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: It it goes brighter and brighter.
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: You have never watched a sunset where sunrise, where the sun was coming up, and then after like twenty ten minutes, it decided to start going back, right?
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: Like, I have never seen that where the sun was rising, and you're like, wow, look at it.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's like like, oh my goodness, is this high?
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: And then after 10 minutes, it was like that low.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: It has never happened.
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: Do you know what that means for us?
- 20:30SPEAKER_00: We don't go up and down.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: We do not need to have the expectation that we're going up and down, and even if for some reason it looks like we're going down, like sometimes the sun, the cloud comes in front of the sun, it makes it look like it's not rising.
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: Oh, it was rising.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: It was rising the whole time.
- 20:44SPEAKER_00: By the time the cloud is done with his foolishness and it moves over, you will see that it was rising.
- 20:49SPEAKER_00: I am, I am not designed to ever go forward and then go backward.
- 20:55SPEAKER_00: So, guess what is not in the books for me in 2027?
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: Going backwards.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: It is not in the books, it's not in the cards, it's not part of the plan, it's not part of the agenda.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: Because God has already said that my path is like the dawn.
- 21:08SPEAKER_00: What part of the dawn that shines brighter and brighter?
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: Brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, not brighter and dimmer, brighter and brighter.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: So progress, so progress is daily progress.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: Because if you think about the sun rising, it's minute by minute progress, it's minimum until.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: So I'm making consistent progress until this is God's plan.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: So that expectation that what if things are worse?
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: What if things don't work out for me?
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: What if my child does this?
- 21:38SPEAKER_00: What if my health does that?
- 21:40SPEAKER_00: Like, you don't have to entertain those thoughts.
- 21:42SPEAKER_00: You don't have to sit on those thoughts.
- 21:44SPEAKER_00: You don't have to make those thoughts your expectation.
- 21:46SPEAKER_00: Why?
- 21:47SPEAKER_00: Because the path of the just is like the light of dawn and it shines brighter and brighter.
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: And brighter and brighter until when?
- 21:53SPEAKER_00: Brighter, brighter until until it reaches full strength, until it reaches full strength and glory.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: Until.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: And guess what?
- 22:03SPEAKER_00: On this side of eternity, we are never going to exhaust all that God can do for us.
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: So guess what?
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: We will shine brighter and brighter until He comes, get us, or until we leave this planet, whichever happens first.
- 22:16SPEAKER_00: So 2027, great year of progress, of moving forward, of going forward.
- 22:23SPEAKER_00: We don't go backwards.
- 22:24SPEAKER_00: Yes, challenges may come, but we move forward in spite of them.
- 22:27SPEAKER_00: And so it's seasoning it may look like, you know, what is going on?
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: Just like the same way.
- 22:32SPEAKER_00: If a whole bunch of clouds come and obscure the view, your view of the sun, it makes it look like it's not getting brighter, but it is getting brighter.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: It is getting brighter.
- 22:40SPEAKER_00: It's always getting brighter.
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: It's always working.
- 22:42SPEAKER_00: I'm always moving forward.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: All things are working together for me.
- 22:45SPEAKER_00: So even when Satan throws things at me, God is like, Oh, have you met me?
- 22:50SPEAKER_00: I will cause all things to work together for your good.
- 22:54SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: This is God's plan for me.
- 22:57SPEAKER_00: So I think we need to just stop right here.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: I need you to find as many celebration emojis as you can find.
- 23:03SPEAKER_00: It could be the party one, it could be the heart one, it could be the celebration one, you know.
- 23:08SPEAKER_00: And I think it's time.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: Let's throw up those emojis.
- 23:11SPEAKER_00: Let's throw up those emojis.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: Let's hit that heart button.
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: Let's hit, hit, hit.
- 23:15SPEAKER_00: Like, oh my goodness, this is so great.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: Because when God thinks about 2027 for you and I, this is what He's thinking.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: We get to choose.
- 23:23SPEAKER_00: Choose you this day who you'll serve.
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: Choose you this day, who's who's who who will govern your mind?
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: Will it be the fear thoughts of saying, Oh, what if this happened?
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: Oh, what if that happens?
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: What if that bad thing happened?
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: What or are we gonna have God thoughts?
- 23:34SPEAKER_00: Like my path shines brighter and brighter until it reaches full strength and glory.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: What?
- 23:40SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 23:42SPEAKER_00: I love being a Christian.
- 23:43SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I told you today.
- 23:45SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: I love the word of God.
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: Don't know if I told you today.
- 23:49SPEAKER_00: This is so good.
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: So when we think 2027, we don't think, what if?
- 23:54SPEAKER_00: No, we think, oh my goodness, my path is gonna shine brighter and brighter.
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna make progress.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: All of this stuff.
- 24:00SPEAKER_00: That's number one.
- 24:01SPEAKER_00: Scripture number one.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's go to scripture number two.
- 24:04SPEAKER_00: And again, scripture we've read many times before, but we're gonna lean into it.
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: We're gonna, oh, oh, hang on.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: Let's make the declaration.
- 24:12SPEAKER_00: 2027 will be my best year yet by far.
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: We read the word, we say the word, we visualize the word, we write the word, we're immersing ourselves in the word, we're brainwashing ourselves with the word of God, right?
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: So we grew up waiting for the other shoe to drop.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: Like when something great happens, we're like, well, the other shoe's gonna drop.
- 24:34SPEAKER_00: Well, we don't have to think that way no more because it's not in the word of God.
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: It sounds like something the thief will do who comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
- 24:42SPEAKER_00: Don't sound like what God will do.
- 24:43SPEAKER_00: He came to give us life and give it more abundantly.
- 24:46SPEAKER_00: Yes, my best here yet, by far.
- 24:49SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right.
- 24:50SPEAKER_00: So let's look at the second scripture.
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: Okay, this is so important, and we've seen this scripture many, many times before, but we approach the word of God with a growth mindset.
- 24:58SPEAKER_00: Now, Abraham was old, well advanced in age, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
- 25:11SPEAKER_00: So when we talk about the path of the just shining brighter and brighter, somebody would think, Oh, that's in my walk with God because that's what God cares about, or that's in ministry because that's what God cares about.
- 25:20SPEAKER_00: No, God blessed Abraham in all things.
- 25:27SPEAKER_00: The Lord blessed Abraham in all things.
- 25:31SPEAKER_00: Now, when God was blessing him in Genesis chapter 12, he didn't say I'll bless you in all things.
- 25:37SPEAKER_00: What he said is, I will bless you, I will make your name great, I will make you into a great nation.
- 25:42SPEAKER_00: Like I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who curse you, and you all the family of the families of the earth will be blessed.
- 25:49SPEAKER_00: That's what he told you, he told him.
- 25:51SPEAKER_00: And so sometimes we think that God blesses a segment of our life, the part he cares about and not the other.
- 25:58SPEAKER_00: But this was the end of Abraham's life, and it shows you when God says, I will bless you, he's not talking about finances only, he's not talking about his walk with you, your walk with him only, he's not talking about your health only, he's not talking about your children only.
- 26:14SPEAKER_00: He said, I will bless you.
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: And the Bible documented what that man looked like at the end of his life, and it says, God blessed Abraham in all things.
- 26:27SPEAKER_00: So when God chooses to bless you, his plan is to bless you in all things.
- 26:33SPEAKER_00: God blesses me in all things.
- 26:35SPEAKER_00: Dr.
- 26:36SPEAKER_00: Una, why are you saying the same thing over and over again?
- 26:38SPEAKER_00: Because the Bible says this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you will meditate on it day and night.
- 26:43SPEAKER_00: The word meditate there is Hagar.
- 26:44SPEAKER_00: Hagar is to say, is to say.
- 26:48SPEAKER_00: God blesses me in all things, God blesses me in every way, God blesses every aspect of my life.
- 26:59SPEAKER_00: God blesses me in all things.
- 27:01SPEAKER_00: So in 2027, guess what?
- 27:04SPEAKER_00: I will be blessed in all things.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: I will be blessed in all things.
- 27:08SPEAKER_00: I will be blessed in all things.
- 27:09SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, Dr.
- 27:11SPEAKER_00: Una, poof, you're getting too excited here, but the word of God will do that to you.
- 27:16SPEAKER_00: How are you excited?
- 27:17SPEAKER_00: Okay, what that means is okay.
- 27:22SPEAKER_00: Let me see where my cousins are.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: I haven't talked to my cousins today.
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: Let me know if you're my cousin.
- 27:26SPEAKER_00: This is how you know you're my cousin.
- 27:28SPEAKER_00: You have experienced the blessing of God in certain areas of your life, and there's certain areas of your life where you've had a struggle, and this is what you said.
- 27:36SPEAKER_00: Well, God has been so good to me here.
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: I'm okay if he like God has been so good to me in A, I'm okay if he doesn't do B for me.
- 27:47SPEAKER_00: Who's ever thought that?
- 27:49SPEAKER_00: He's blessed me so much in this.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: So if you know, like, yeah, this little aspect of my marriage is not, you know, but all these other areas of my marriage are fine.
- 27:56SPEAKER_00: Like, it's okay, God.
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: You don't, you know, like you don't you don't have to worry about that part.
- 27:59SPEAKER_00: You're telling God, like, oh God, don't exhaust your power.
- 28:02SPEAKER_00: You've already done all this.
- 28:03SPEAKER_00: Don't worry about here.
- 28:05SPEAKER_00: Where are my cousins?
- 28:06SPEAKER_00: Where are you guys?
- 28:09SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 28:11SPEAKER_00: God is like the ocean.
- 28:16SPEAKER_00: If you bring a spoon to the ocean to get water, the ocean doesn't know.
- 28:20SPEAKER_00: You bring a plate, it doesn't know.
- 28:23SPEAKER_00: You bring a bowl, it doesn't know.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: You bring a bucket, it doesn't know.
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: You bring uh like a big basin, it doesn't know.
- 28:30SPEAKER_00: You bring an 18-wheeler tanker and fill it with water, the ocean doesn't know that any water left it.
- 28:38SPEAKER_00: The ocean does not know who made the ocean, God did.
- 28:41SPEAKER_00: It's a display of his abundance mentality.
- 28:45SPEAKER_00: So, yes, he blessed you in your finances, and he can bless you in your health, and he can bless you in your marriage.
- 28:51SPEAKER_00: And in marriage, your communication is great, but this other part is not.
- 28:55SPEAKER_00: He can bless you in that place too.
- 28:56SPEAKER_00: He can bless you with your kids, he can bless you with your schoolwork, he can bless you with everything.
- 29:01SPEAKER_00: God is not afraid of whatever it is you need for your life to be a sign and wonder.
- 29:06SPEAKER_00: He ain't scared of you.
- 29:08SPEAKER_00: He's not going like Angel Mike.
- 29:10SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: Dr.
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: Una kind of telling these people all this stuff next thing in 2027, they're gonna have a lot of demands.
- 29:16SPEAKER_00: What are we gonna do?
- 29:17SPEAKER_00: I promise you that is not the meeting that's being had in heaven.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: The Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
- 29:29SPEAKER_00: I believe God for the all.
- 29:33SPEAKER_00: I I release my faith for the all.
- 29:37SPEAKER_00: I will believe God for the all, I will expect the all.
- 29:42SPEAKER_00: Now, when we think about all, sometimes we're not able to conceptualize it because it's like all, like everything, and we just leave it at that.
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: That's why you will always hear me talk about the nine areas of life.
- 29:55SPEAKER_00: Always.
- 29:56SPEAKER_00: Why?
- 29:56SPEAKER_00: So you can look, you can audit to say, where am I?
- 29:59SPEAKER_00: Where do I have no expectation?
- 30:01SPEAKER_00: Where am I like, yeah, God can fix this, but God doesn't know anything about that.
- 30:05SPEAKER_00: This is kind of an earth thing, you know, like he's a heavenly God.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: Like, so when I say all, is spiritual, your walk with God, your family, your ministry, your health, your finances, your business, career, or academics, your social capital, God will bless you with relationships that will turn your world right out of and will fill your cup.
- 30:29SPEAKER_00: God does that too, right?
- 30:31SPEAKER_00: Okay, so social capital, fun, like God will help you plan vacations.
- 30:36SPEAKER_00: God will show you how to enjoy your life every day, every week.
- 30:39SPEAKER_00: God will show you all kinds of stuff because that's how He is, right?
- 30:43SPEAKER_00: And intellectual development.
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: There's skills you need to acquire that will change every other aspect of your life.
- 30:50SPEAKER_00: God wants to bless you there too.
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: God wants to bless you there too, right?
- 30:55SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I want you to think about it.
- 30:59SPEAKER_00: And God, so, and God blessed NECA.
- 31:03SPEAKER_00: So this is me traveling to December 31st, 2027, to say, and God blessed NECA in all nine areas of her life.
- 31:11SPEAKER_00: In her walk with God, in her family, in ministry, in health, in finances, in business, in social capital, in intellectual development, in fun.
- 31:22SPEAKER_00: God blessed her in all areas.
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: So when you think about what God wants for you for 2027, he wants to bless you in all of these areas.
- 31:31SPEAKER_00: He wants to bless you in all of these areas.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: He has capacity to bless me in all of these areas.
- 31:40SPEAKER_00: He has the desire to bless me in all of these areas.
- 31:44SPEAKER_00: But the word then puts this thing, he says, guard your heart with all diligence for it determines the course of your life.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: So if I if I choose to keep this thought out, then this thing can't show up in my life.
- 31:54SPEAKER_00: But if I choose to let the thought in and I meditate on it day and night and all of this stuff, and I act accordingly, then this will show up in my life.
- 32:04SPEAKER_00: And God blessed NECA.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: Many of you don't know that's my name, but that's my name.
- 32:09SPEAKER_00: I don't know if God calls me Dr.
- 32:11SPEAKER_00: Una, but I maybe he does, right?
- 32:13SPEAKER_00: God bless NECA in all nine areas of her life.
- 32:18SPEAKER_00: So when you think about 2027, think about the blessing resting on every aspect of your life.
- 32:24SPEAKER_00: Think about the blessing resting on every aspect of your life.
- 32:28SPEAKER_00: When you think about 2027, think about the blessing, being blessed in every night, every aspect of your life, every aspect of your life being a sign and a wonder.
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: Why do I say sign and wonder?
- 32:37SPEAKER_00: Because the blessing of God rests on you, you will be a sign and a wonder.
- 32:40SPEAKER_00: God does not bless you according to the status quo of human standards.
- 32:43SPEAKER_00: His status quo is signs and wonders.
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: This is God's plan for you for 2027.
- 32:48SPEAKER_00: These are the thoughts I'm brooding on for 2027.
- 32:52SPEAKER_00: My path will shine brighter and brighter, and I'll be blessed in all things.
- 32:56SPEAKER_00: Not in some areas.
- 32:57SPEAKER_00: So the areas of my life where, or areas of your life where you may have locked God out.
- 33:01SPEAKER_00: Like, Lord, you don't need to come here.
- 33:02SPEAKER_00: It's just a mess.
- 33:03SPEAKER_00: It's such a mess, you ain't, you ain't gonna be able to fix it.
- 33:05SPEAKER_00: Now we have to remove all, we need to throw, we need to break down all those doors and let God into every aspect of our lives and release our expectation for every aspect of our lives and add corresponding action based on what we've just what we're looking at to every aspect of our life.
- 33:20SPEAKER_00: I am a sign, I will be assigned and a wonder in all areas of my life in 2027.
- 33:25SPEAKER_00: Done.
- 33:26SPEAKER_00: I will be a sign and a wonder.
- 33:27SPEAKER_00: I will be a sign and a wonder.
- 33:29SPEAKER_00: I I will live a life that will make people wonder.
- 33:31SPEAKER_00: Like, how, how, how are you able to do this?
- 33:36SPEAKER_00: You guys see that?
- 33:37SPEAKER_00: That's number two.
- 33:38SPEAKER_00: We still have three to go.
- 33:39SPEAKER_00: This is good.
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: Okay, so first is that I'm just gonna make progress.
- 33:44SPEAKER_00: Progress is gonna be my default setting in 2027, based on the word of God.
- 33:47SPEAKER_00: My path will shine brighter and brighter.
- 33:48SPEAKER_00: And it's not progress in a few select areas.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: No, I will be blessed in all things.
- 33:52SPEAKER_00: I'll be I would I will be blessed in all areas of my life.
- 33:55SPEAKER_00: I will move forward in all areas of my life, my like you know, every aspect of my life touched by the finger of God.
- 34:01SPEAKER_00: Okay, now let's look at the next one.
- 34:04SPEAKER_00: This is Genesis chapter 30, 39, verse 2, one of my favorite scriptures, which I should stop saying because it's all scriptures.
- 34:10SPEAKER_00: It says, and the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man.
- 34:18SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
- 34:20SPEAKER_00: The Lord was with Joseph, the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man.
- 34:28SPEAKER_00: Now, when you think about this, you have to think like he had a close walk with God.
- 34:36SPEAKER_00: Like the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man.
- 34:41SPEAKER_00: So I am all these things I'm talking about, like progress everywhere and being blessed in every aspect of my life, is going to come out of a deep walk with God.
- 34:51SPEAKER_00: I am somebody who will walk with God, I am somebody who will host his presence.
- 34:55SPEAKER_00: So I talk to him all through the day, I worship him all through the day.
- 34:58SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm conscious of his presence all through the day.
- 35:01SPEAKER_00: I have this dynamic relationship with God.
- 35:04SPEAKER_00: He's not somebody I pray to in the morning, go do my day, come back, say thank you for the day, and go to like, no, this is a year I go deeper in God.
- 35:12SPEAKER_00: And when I go deeper in God, it doesn't make me weird and irrelevant and no longer, you know, relevant in the world and all.
- 35:21SPEAKER_00: No, the Lord was with Joseph, consequence, and he was a successful man.
- 35:26SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
- 35:29SPEAKER_00: Now, the Lord was with Joseph.
- 35:32SPEAKER_00: Is that because the Lord chose?
- 35:34SPEAKER_00: No.
- 35:35SPEAKER_00: No, it's because Joseph created an enabling environment to host the presence of God.
- 35:41SPEAKER_00: There's prayer, there's worship.
- 35:43SPEAKER_00: Now, how he did it, he knows how he did it, but I'm extrapolating to say these are the ways we do it.
- 35:48SPEAKER_00: We pray to him, we worship him, we talk to him through the day, we meditate on his worth.
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: So we're thinking about him, we have the consciousness of him.
- 35:58SPEAKER_00: And so what ends up and because of that depth of relationship, we start acting like him, we start displaying his character, displaying his wisdom, displaying his power.
- 36:10SPEAKER_00: When people come in contact with us, they come in contact with God.
- 36:14SPEAKER_00: When people come in contact with us, because we spend we we're carriers of his presence, when people come in contact with us, they come in contact with him.
- 36:23SPEAKER_00: And because we're constantly in contact with him, we're downloading wisdom, we're downloading character, and his character triggers favor.
- 36:31SPEAKER_00: When you meet, so yes or no, okay, you're gonna answer a question.
- 36:35SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna ask you.
- 36:37SPEAKER_00: If you if you are the kind of person you favor people, okay, you favor people, if you meet somebody who loves people, who is full of joy, who is full of peace, who is patient, who is good, who is kind, who is gentle, who is faithful, has integrity, and has self-self-control.
- 36:56SPEAKER_00: Will you favor that person?
- 36:58SPEAKER_00: Yes or no?
- 36:59SPEAKER_00: You can open a door for them, you can mention their name in the right room, you can give them an opportunity, you can give them information that will put them on top, whatever.
- 37:07SPEAKER_00: Will you choose to favor such a person?
- 37:10SPEAKER_00: Yes or no?
- 37:11SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
- 37:13SPEAKER_00: Because that is the character of God, that is the fruit of the spirit.
- 37:18SPEAKER_00: So that's from Galatians 5 22.
- 37:20SPEAKER_00: That's the fruit of the spirit.
- 37:22SPEAKER_00: When you manifest the fruit of the spirit, you trigger favor because guess what?
- 37:27SPEAKER_00: People are looking for people who love people, people are looking for people who are full of joy.
- 37:31SPEAKER_00: They they see people who are mad and angry and bitter and all that everywhere.
- 37:35SPEAKER_00: Nobody wants to hang out with those people.
- 37:36SPEAKER_00: They want people full of joy, they want people who are peaceful, they want people who have integrity, they want people who are patient, they want people who have self-control.
- 37:43SPEAKER_00: And so as you hang out with God, you his character rubs off on you, you start displaying that character, you attract all kinds of favor.
- 37:54SPEAKER_00: You hang out with him, you're meditating his word, you start doing what he would do, making decisions the way he would make it.
- 38:01SPEAKER_00: That is called wisdom.
- 38:02SPEAKER_00: It's taking the word of God and using that as your operating operating system.
- 38:07SPEAKER_00: It it makes you wise, it makes you get God-level results and all of that stuff.
- 38:12SPEAKER_00: What will it do to you?
- 38:13SPEAKER_00: It will make you successful.
- 38:16SPEAKER_00: So we're not doing 2027 like Lord, give us grace so we can run away with your grace and go in and not be, you know, like weird, deep people with you.
- 38:23SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
- 38:24SPEAKER_00: We are going to accomplish a life that moves forward, a life that is blessed on every side by going deeper in him, not being more shallow.
- 38:35SPEAKER_00: It's by hosting his presence, by hanging out with him, is by meditating his word day and night, it's about asking questions as we go about our day, it's by building a relationship with God, a friendship with God.
- 38:47SPEAKER_00: Do you see what I'm saying?
- 38:48SPEAKER_00: So the Lord was with Joseph and he was a successful man.
- 38:52SPEAKER_00: Now, let me stop and explain something to you here because I don't want anybody to miss it.
- 38:57SPEAKER_00: Joseph was a slave.
- 39:00SPEAKER_00: Joseph was a slave, but as a slave, a man without freedom, the press, the activated, tangible presence of God with him that he cultivated was powerful enough to make him successful as a slave, successful as someone without freedom.
- 39:21SPEAKER_00: What will that then do to you, you who have you have freedom?
- 39:26SPEAKER_00: If you could make a slave successful, what will it do to a free person?
- 39:35SPEAKER_00: That is how powerful the presence of God is.
- 39:37SPEAKER_00: So, guys, listen, we're not, we're not, we are people who are gonna go deeper in God.
- 39:43SPEAKER_00: It is a win-win situation.
- 39:45SPEAKER_00: We are gonna go deeper in God because this is what creates good success.
- 39:49SPEAKER_00: I was hosting an event.
- 39:51SPEAKER_00: This was many years ago, this was 2021.
- 39:53SPEAKER_00: And it was it was an event for physician entrepreneurs, and somebody raised their hand and and and they said, Um, Dr.
- 40:02SPEAKER_00: Una, I need to understand how it seems like the more successful you get, the more you're enjoying your life and you're at peace and you're full of joy and all of that.
- 40:15SPEAKER_00: But I watch other people who are succeeding, the more successful they become, the more miserable they are, the more they have to sacrifice aspects of their lives and all of that stuff.
- 40:26SPEAKER_00: How sway?
- 40:27SPEAKER_00: How come?
- 40:29SPEAKER_00: I was like, Well, you asked me.
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: And I was like, it's because I have an anchor.
- 40:37SPEAKER_00: It is because I am settled in God, is because of the depth of my relationship with God.
- 40:43SPEAKER_00: So I don't succeed at the expense of the successes and overflow of my walk with him, of time spent with him, of wisdom I downloaded from the character that I have in him, and all of that stuff.
- 40:58SPEAKER_00: So my success is external to me.
- 41:02SPEAKER_00: It doesn't affect my life, it doesn't cost me my life, it doesn't cost me my health, it doesn't do any of those things because I am doing it from a grounded place and from wisdom from the Most High God.
- 41:17SPEAKER_00: He runs galaxies and he's just fine.
- 41:20SPEAKER_00: So if he does, I can run this one itty bitty life of mine and be fine.
- 41:25SPEAKER_00: So we're not 2027 is not a year where, you know, like Lord, anoint me and let me go.
- 41:30SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no.
- 41:31SPEAKER_00: It's a year we go deeper.
- 41:34SPEAKER_00: We go deeper.
- 41:36SPEAKER_00: So in 2027 is a year where I host the presence of God, is a year where I go deeper in my walk with God, the depth of my relationship with God, and the consequence, the outflow of that will be success.
- 41:51SPEAKER_00: That doesn't make sense.
- 41:53SPEAKER_00: Same way Joseph being successful like successful as a slave, these two words don't go together except there's not in between them, right?
- 42:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, everything that tries to steal your prayer life, stop you from meditating, all of this stuff you have to understand it is the enemy because he understands if I can if it's like the Lord was not with Joseph, then the success part is just not there, right?
- 42:17SPEAKER_00: It's not, it can't be there.
- 42:19SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right.
- 42:21SPEAKER_00: So let's keep going.
- 42:23SPEAKER_00: Let's keep going.
- 42:26SPEAKER_00: This is so good.
- 42:27SPEAKER_00: Okay, now, and somebody may say, Yeah, but I need to know how.
- 42:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, God got you too.
- 42:33SPEAKER_00: Okay, Jeremiah chapter 33, verse 3.
- 42:36SPEAKER_00: Amplify classic.
- 42:37SPEAKER_00: Now, I need you, we need some wows in the chat, so you can type wow, you can find the wow emoji as I read this because this does just just does not make sense.
- 42:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, surely this was written by God.
- 42:48SPEAKER_00: It says, Call to me, uppercase M.
- 42:50SPEAKER_00: So God is saying inviting us to call it.
- 42:53SPEAKER_00: He says, Call to me and I will answer you.
- 42:57SPEAKER_00: Hang on, no if, ands, or buts.
- 43:00SPEAKER_00: If you call me, I will answer you.
- 43:03SPEAKER_00: I have I have guaranteed answers in 2027.
- 43:06SPEAKER_00: Okay, call to me and I will answer you and show you greater mighty things.
- 43:14SPEAKER_00: We haven't even read half of the verse.
- 43:16SPEAKER_00: This is so good.
- 43:17SPEAKER_00: So call me and I'll answer.
- 43:19SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna show you not regular things, status quo things, average things, mediocre things.
- 43:23SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna show you great and mighty things.
- 43:25SPEAKER_00: And the person who's saying greater mighty things is God, so it's not like itty bitty great, it's like the real great, like greater mighty things.
- 43:33SPEAKER_00: I have access to the knowledge of greater mighty things.
- 43:35SPEAKER_00: I have access to the knowledge of greater mighty things, I have access to the knowledge of greater mighty things.
- 43:40SPEAKER_00: Gotta know this.
- 43:42SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't, I don't, I don't hear from God.
- 43:45SPEAKER_00: And and you know what?
- 43:48SPEAKER_00: That is thief stuff.
- 43:49SPEAKER_00: We don't meditate on thief stuff.
- 43:51SPEAKER_00: Okay, call to me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things.
- 43:58SPEAKER_00: Now pay attention, he's now.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: Qualifies these things fenced in and hidden.
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: So these are great and mighty things that are hidden.
- 44:06SPEAKER_00: So you become part of the few who know these great and mighty things that are hidden that other people don't know.
- 44:12SPEAKER_00: You start getting inside information and not just inside information like of some little deal, but this is inside information from God.
- 44:21unknown: What?
- 44:22SPEAKER_00: Okay, call to me.
- 44:24SPEAKER_00: Do you see why it's such a disservice to say I'm gonna go meditate, I'm gonna empty my mind?
- 44:28SPEAKER_00: Child, child, we need the word of God in that mind.
- 44:32SPEAKER_00: Okay, call to me, and I will answer you, and I will show you greater mighty things fenced in and hidden, which you do not know.
- 44:44SPEAKER_00: So I don't know how to move this business forward.
- 44:46SPEAKER_00: I can know.
- 44:47SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to do with this marriage.
- 44:48SPEAKER_00: I can know this child of mine.
- 44:50SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness, I can know.
- 44:52SPEAKER_00: I try to pray, and when I pray, I get so distracted, I don't know what to do.
- 44:57SPEAKER_00: I can know.
- 44:59SPEAKER_00: I can know what I don't know.
- 45:02SPEAKER_00: I can know what I don't know.
- 45:04SPEAKER_00: My health, this is going on.
- 45:05SPEAKER_00: The doctor said this, doctor said that.
- 45:07SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to do.
- 45:08SPEAKER_00: Hey, stop.
- 45:10SPEAKER_00: You don't know what to do.
- 45:11SPEAKER_00: Okay, what is the next thing to do?
- 45:13SPEAKER_00: Call to him and he will answer you and he'll show you great and mighty things, fancy and hidden, which you do not know.
- 45:19SPEAKER_00: You can know what you don't know.
- 45:20SPEAKER_00: I can know what I don't know.
- 45:22SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
- 45:24SPEAKER_00: So, fenced and hidden, which you do not know, do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand.
- 45:31SPEAKER_00: So I don't I can't distinguish, no problem.
- 45:34SPEAKER_00: Can't recognize, no problem.
- 45:35SPEAKER_00: Don't have knowledge of, no problem.
- 45:36SPEAKER_00: Don't understand, no problem.
- 45:38SPEAKER_00: When I find myself in this situation, what do I do?
- 45:40SPEAKER_00: I call to him and he will answer me and he'll show it to me.
- 45:42SPEAKER_00: So, Lord, I don't know which way to go with this in 2027.
- 45:45SPEAKER_00: Call to me and I'll answer you.
- 45:47SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to do with this way, so call to me and answer you.
- 45:49SPEAKER_00: Lord, I need to get access into this room.
- 45:52SPEAKER_00: Call to me and I'll answer you.
- 45:53SPEAKER_00: Call to me, I'll answer you.
- 45:54SPEAKER_00: Call do you see why Satan fights your prayer life to a standstill?
- 45:59SPEAKER_00: Because he knows, man, I've I've I've put this masterful plan in place to bring about stealing, killing, and destruction in this woman's life.
- 46:06SPEAKER_00: Now she's gonna go call to the to go call to God.
- 46:09SPEAKER_00: God gonna show her, and she's gonna know what to do, and she's gonna know, and all my hard work is null and void.
- 46:16SPEAKER_00: Call to me.
- 46:19SPEAKER_00: Call to me.
- 46:22SPEAKER_00: Call to me, and I will answer.
- 46:24SPEAKER_00: This is God telling you.
- 46:26SPEAKER_00: God gave you an open invitation.
- 46:28SPEAKER_00: Call to me, I'll answer you, I'll show you.
- 46:30SPEAKER_00: So, guess what?
- 46:30SPEAKER_00: We're not gonna do when it's time to set goals.
- 46:33SPEAKER_00: Oh, you know, God doesn't talk and stuff like that.
- 46:35SPEAKER_00: So we just go hide set goals and say, Lord, here it is.
- 46:38SPEAKER_00: Bless it.
- 46:38SPEAKER_00: No, we're gonna sit with him, we're gonna call on him.
- 46:41SPEAKER_00: Some things you'll say, yeah, what you want?
- 46:43SPEAKER_00: Put where you want.
- 46:44SPEAKER_00: Some things he'll start like, Lord, show me what this looks like, what does that look like?
- 46:50SPEAKER_00: And he'll answer you, he'll show you greater mighty things.
- 46:52SPEAKER_00: Lord, what is the pathway?
- 46:53SPEAKER_00: He'll answer you, he'll show you greater mighty things.
- 46:56SPEAKER_00: When you go to pray from today, I want to invite you to pray from a standpoint of faith.
- 47:01SPEAKER_00: Pray knowing that when I call to him, he answers me.
- 47:04SPEAKER_00: If you're the kind of person who does not believe you can get direction from God, you need to take the scripture, you need to meditate on it day and night for like a week or two or three until it takes.
- 47:12SPEAKER_00: Call to me and I'll answer you.
- 47:14SPEAKER_00: When I call to God, he answers me.
- 47:16SPEAKER_00: When I I all my life I've grown up thinking when I call, maybe, you know, you know, but if I call, he answers.
- 47:22SPEAKER_00: And even if I feel like I got the answer in the moment or I didn't, I know that if I called, he answers.
- 47:26SPEAKER_00: So I can have my faith released that he answered.
- 47:28SPEAKER_00: Some things I'll get in real time, some things he'll speak through a friend, some things I'll be at a conference, that you'll highlight it.
- 47:33SPEAKER_00: He said, This is the one, this is the thing you need to do.
- 47:35SPEAKER_00: But when I call to him without fail, because he's a faithful God, he answers.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: And when he answers me, the things he shows me are wild.
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: He shows me great things, he shows me mighty things, he shows me things that are hidden, he shows me things that I ordinarily will never know.
- 47:47SPEAKER_00: He shows me things my contemporaries and peers don't know, he shows me these things, and by taking action on these things, I become a sign and a wonder.
- 47:53SPEAKER_00: What call to me, I will answer you.
- 47:57SPEAKER_00: Call to me, I will answer you.
- 47:59SPEAKER_00: Call to me, I will answer you.
- 48:01SPEAKER_00: I hear the voice, never believe the lie that you call and he and you you can't you can't hear from God.
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: You can't, it's a lie, and of course, Satan wants you to believe that he's a thief, he's a thief.
- 48:13SPEAKER_00: The Bible calls him many things, didn't call him a fool.
- 48:16SPEAKER_00: When Satan starts is trying to convince you of things that don't line up with the word, you have to understand he's after your stuff.
- 48:21SPEAKER_00: Don't let him get your stuff.
- 48:26SPEAKER_00: Don't let him get your stuff.
- 48:27SPEAKER_00: You call to God, he answers you.
- 48:30SPEAKER_00: Meditation is so powerful.
- 48:32SPEAKER_00: One of the best things we can do is obey God.
- 48:34SPEAKER_00: I meditate in the Word day and night.
- 48:36SPEAKER_00: Day and night.
- 48:37SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
- 48:38SPEAKER_00: Now last scripture.
- 48:40SPEAKER_00: Last scripture, okay.
- 48:42SPEAKER_00: So we know our path is gonna shine brighter and brighter, which is so good.
- 48:46SPEAKER_00: We know we're gonna be blessed in all things, all nine areas of life, which is amazing.
- 48:51SPEAKER_00: We know that we're gonna go deeper in God as we go deeper in God, it's gonna trigger success, and even in adverse circumstances, like Joshua Joseph was a slave, we're still gonna succeed.
- 49:02SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter what gets thrown out, we're still gonna succeed, right?
- 49:06SPEAKER_00: Because God didn't promise us no obstacles, he promised us victory.
- 49:10SPEAKER_00: Now, if that's the case, what is my response?
- 49:14SPEAKER_00: How do I show up in 2027?
- 49:17SPEAKER_00: Okay, this is one of my favorite scriptures.
- 49:19SPEAKER_00: Again, I need to stop saying this because scriptures are so good.
- 49:23SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be like Paul, okay?
- 49:26SPEAKER_00: This is what Paul said he said, but by the grace of God, I am what I am, and this is what we're gonna be able to say at the end of the year.
- 49:34SPEAKER_00: By the grace of God, I am what I am.
- 49:36SPEAKER_00: Like, how is your how do your life end up like this?
- 49:38SPEAKER_00: By the grace of God, I am what I am.
- 49:40SPEAKER_00: Now, pay attention to this, and his grace toward me was not in vain.
- 49:46SPEAKER_00: Can the grace of God be upon somebody's life in vain?
- 49:50SPEAKER_00: Yes, not my life, the grace of God on my life will not be in vain.
- 49:56SPEAKER_00: That before I even find out how do we not let it be in vain?
- 50:00SPEAKER_00: The grace of God upon my life will not be in vain.
- 50:03SPEAKER_00: Can somebody have all this grace and it does not reflect in their life?
- 50:06SPEAKER_00: Yes, will it be us?
- 50:08SPEAKER_00: No, it will not be us, it will not be us, it will not be us, it will never be us, it will not be us.
- 50:14SPEAKER_00: But by the grace of God, I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain.
- 50:19SPEAKER_00: We will be able to say that the grace of God upon my life was not in vain, it was not in vain.
- 50:24SPEAKER_00: He put the grace and he saw the output in my life.
- 50:28SPEAKER_00: This is my decision, this is a decision I am making.
- 50:31SPEAKER_00: The grace of God will not be on my life in vain.
- 50:34SPEAKER_00: Okay, so what did he do?
- 50:36SPEAKER_00: He said, But I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
- 50:48SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
- 50:49SPEAKER_00: Hmm, pay attention.
- 50:51SPEAKER_00: By the grace, but by the grace of God, I am what I am.
- 50:54SPEAKER_00: This is what we'll be saying, December 31st, 2027.
- 50:56SPEAKER_00: People are like, oh my goodness, how can your life be like this?
- 50:59SPEAKER_00: By the grace of God, I'm what I am, and his grace was not upon me in vain.
- 51:03SPEAKER_00: In 2027, I will not waste the grace of God.
- 51:06SPEAKER_00: In 2027, I will not waste the grace of God.
- 51:09SPEAKER_00: The grace of God will not be on my on my life in vain.
- 51:12SPEAKER_00: Okay, but I labored more abundantly than they all.
- 51:18SPEAKER_00: So he said, I labor more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
- 51:26SPEAKER_00: Now hold on, because somebody may hear up labor abundantly, and they're thinking hustle and die and all of this stuff, guys.
- 51:33SPEAKER_00: Listen, Paul said, I labored more abundantly than they all, yet it was not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
- 51:44SPEAKER_00: So this is the deal.
- 51:46SPEAKER_00: So we're here, and we obtain grace from God, and we labor with the grace.
- 51:55SPEAKER_00: So there's a difference between, so if we use the scripture, if we use labor, for instance, there's a difference between hustling or toiling and laboring, the way Paul described it.
- 52:08SPEAKER_00: Toiling and hustling is a function of the curse.
- 52:12SPEAKER_00: God said, Because you listened to your wife and you ate the fruit of which I told you not to eat, in the sweat of your brow will you eat.
- 52:21SPEAKER_00: That's toiling, that's hustling, that's suffering.
- 52:25SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that is a curse, which means you're laboring without grace, you're laboring without the help of God, you're working, it's like an engine with no engine oil, right?
- 52:39SPEAKER_00: So it's like there's noise and friction and fire and sparks and all like, and you do a lot and get a little.
- 52:47SPEAKER_00: You do a lot and get a little.
- 52:50SPEAKER_00: You the outcome is you survive, you can't thrive, you can't hustle your way to thriving, you can't toil your way to thriving.
- 52:58SPEAKER_00: Thriving is not an option in that model.
- 53:02SPEAKER_00: So there's no, there's thriving is not a thing that can happen in that model.
- 53:07SPEAKER_00: On the other side, there is labor.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: This is a godly word, it's not a cuss word.
- 53:15SPEAKER_00: There is hard work, it is a godly word, it is not a cuss word.
- 53:20SPEAKER_00: The Bible talking about it throughout Proverbs talks about hard work.
- 53:26SPEAKER_00: So, what do I do?
- 53:27SPEAKER_00: I then take the grace, the blessing, the favor, the wisdom, and I work hard with it.
- 53:35SPEAKER_00: I work hard with the wisdom strategies, I work hard in conjunction with the favor, I work hard with the ideas God has given me, I work hard with the people He's put in my life, I work hard with all of that.
- 53:46SPEAKER_00: I use his strategies, his ways, his principles, his blueprints, his downloads, and I'm working hard with those things.
- 53:52SPEAKER_00: What happens is I work hard, but the result is so much bigger than my labor.
- 53:57SPEAKER_00: Unlike this other one that is smaller.
- 53:59SPEAKER_00: I work, I do that, then surviving is not an option.
- 54:03SPEAKER_00: Thriving is the only option.
- 54:05SPEAKER_00: I do that, it doesn't create burnout.
- 54:08SPEAKER_00: There is dignity in labor.
- 54:10SPEAKER_00: So, what I'm not going to do is I'm not going to insult the grace of God, insult the grace of God, and not work hard with it.
- 54:22SPEAKER_00: Because the grace on its own will not produce the result, because God is not your enabler, God collaborates with you, God partners with you.
- 54:32SPEAKER_00: So he provides the grace, you provide the labor, then we create signs and wonders.
- 54:38SPEAKER_00: If you have only labor, that's toiling and hustling.
- 54:42SPEAKER_00: If you have only grace, you have no results.
- 54:45SPEAKER_00: If you take the grace and match it with labor, so God provides his part of the equation, which is grace, which is so much bigger than anything we can do.
- 54:53SPEAKER_00: So, like this is a good deal.
- 54:55SPEAKER_00: And then we provide the labor, then what ends up happening is that everywhere you take the grace and add labor becomes a sign and a wonder.
- 55:06SPEAKER_00: God is so good.
- 55:07SPEAKER_00: Do you guys see what he's doing with his word?
- 55:09SPEAKER_00: This is us just meditating.
- 55:11SPEAKER_00: Like, what is God's plan for us in 2026?
- 55:13SPEAKER_00: So in 2027, what am I going to do?
- 55:16SPEAKER_00: I am going to labor abundantly with the grace.
- 55:23SPEAKER_00: I'm going to labor abundantly with the grace.
- 55:26SPEAKER_00: So God throws the grace, I grab the grace, I labor with it, and boom, signs and wonders.
- 55:32SPEAKER_00: Signs and wonders.
- 55:34SPEAKER_00: 2027 will be a sign and wonder year for me in every aspect of my life.
- 55:40SPEAKER_00: You guys know I'm meditating with you, right?
- 55:42SPEAKER_00: I'm not.
- 55:42SPEAKER_00: I hope you don't think I'm teaching you.
- 55:45SPEAKER_00: We're meditating aloud.
- 55:47SPEAKER_00: This is so wild.
- 55:49SPEAKER_00: This is so wild.
- 55:51SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness, this is so good.
- 55:54SPEAKER_00: So good.
- 55:55SPEAKER_00: So good.
- 55:56SPEAKER_00: If this is blowing your mind, just go like God has blown my mind.
- 55:59SPEAKER_00: Because God has blown my mind.
- 56:01SPEAKER_00: God has blown my mind.
- 56:03SPEAKER_00: So am I gonna quote that my path shines brighter and brighter and then go hide under my covers?
- 56:08SPEAKER_00: No, I'm gonna take that word now.
- 56:09SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna labor abundantly with it.
- 56:11SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna labor in my walk with God.
- 56:13SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna labor in my family.
- 56:14SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna labor in ministry.
- 56:15SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna labor in fun.
- 56:17SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna labor in social, social capital, labor in intellectual development, labor in my health, labor in my finances, labor in my business.
- 56:24SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna throw labor.
- 56:25SPEAKER_00: God is giving grace, I'm gonna give labor, and it's gonna be a sign and a wonder.
- 56:30SPEAKER_00: That's what we're gonna do.
- 56:33SPEAKER_00: That's exactly what we're gonna do, guys.
- 56:39SPEAKER_00: So when you start thinking, oh, I wonder what will happen, we don't wonder.
- 56:42SPEAKER_00: God already told us what's gonna happen.
- 56:43SPEAKER_00: We don't wonder.
- 56:45SPEAKER_00: So if we sit take these scriptures and sit on them and meditate on them and say them out of and visualize it, because now you can take all night areas of your life and you can start visualizing where God is taking you to the path of justice shining brighter and brighter.
- 56:57SPEAKER_00: Okay, so my light, my life is already bright.
- 56:59SPEAKER_00: Let me look and see all the winds that God has given me.
- 57:01SPEAKER_00: Ooh, bright, bright, bright, bright.
- 57:03SPEAKER_00: Now think about it, take it further, brighter.
- 57:04SPEAKER_00: What does brighter look like?
- 57:05SPEAKER_00: You can visualize that, right?
- 57:07SPEAKER_00: You can visualize walking with God and you're successful in all you do.
- 57:10SPEAKER_00: You can visualize being blessed on every side, you can visualize asking God things and God is answering you.
- 57:15SPEAKER_00: Think of all the places where you've been in confusion.
- 57:17SPEAKER_00: You don't have any reason to be in confusion, you don't have any reason to not have clarity because anywhere you have confusion, you say, Ask me, call me, I'll answer.
- 57:24SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you.
- 57:25SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you, right?
- 57:27SPEAKER_00: And then you're now like, oh, and then you see yourself in areas where you've been lazy, you've been slothful, you've been procrastinating, and all you see yourself showing up and you're diligent, and you're hard working and you're labor, and you're taking the grace, and you're doing these things, and you're partnering with God.
- 57:39SPEAKER_00: And every aspect of your life is a sign and no wonder.
- 57:43SPEAKER_00: If you receive that for yourself, type in the chat.
- 57:46SPEAKER_00: That's me.
- 57:47SPEAKER_00: That's me.
- 57:48SPEAKER_00: That's me.
- 57:49SPEAKER_00: Guys, that's me.
- 57:50SPEAKER_00: That's me.
- 57:51SPEAKER_00: That's what we have access to.
- 57:53SPEAKER_00: So never accept the fact that 2027 is gonna be some regular year.
- 57:56SPEAKER_00: Are you kidding?
- 57:57SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
- 57:58SPEAKER_00: Never accept the fact that it's you know it's gonna be brighter and dimmer.
- 58:01SPEAKER_00: Like, absolutely not.
- 58:03SPEAKER_00: Never say, okay, yeah, I guess a lot got out of this aspect of my life.
- 58:06SPEAKER_00: I don't think you can do anything.
- 58:07SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
- 58:07SPEAKER_00: I can't hear from God, I can't get direction.
- 58:09SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
- 58:10SPEAKER_00: And never accept that you're gonna be lazy.
- 58:13SPEAKER_00: I am many things lazy, not one of them.
- 58:15SPEAKER_00: I am hardworking, I labor, I work hard, I am diligent.
- 58:20SPEAKER_00: I take the grace of God and I labor with it.
- 58:22SPEAKER_00: And because of that, every aspect of my life is a sign and a wonder.
- 58:27SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: God is so good.
- 58:30SPEAKER_00: Father, thank you so much.
- 58:32SPEAKER_00: We prayed at the beginning that you open our eyes to see.
- 58:35SPEAKER_00: Thank you for everything you showed us.
- 58:37SPEAKER_00: Thank you for showing us the power of meditation.
- 58:40SPEAKER_00: Thank you for showing us your plans for us for 2027.
- 58:43SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Lord.
- 58:44SPEAKER_00: And Lord, I pray over everyone for the grace, the grace to meditate, the grace to change expectations, the grace to grow faith, the grace to act accordingly, to observe, to do, and the grace to do it until.
- 58:57SPEAKER_00: So that Lord, everyone, everyone who watches this, who's here live, who watches the replay and all this stuff, that it will all be signs and wonders who show off how good you are, billboards, mannequins of your glory.
- 59:10SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name, amen.
- 59:12SPEAKER_00: If this has helped you in any way, I would love for you to join the movement and share this episode with your friends, family, and the Christians in your world.
