- 2:54Speaker 4: me out here in these streets doing, But whatever it is,
- 2:57Speaker 4: I just want to That's one thing I would love,
- 3:00Speaker 4: like if I could just get my teeth straight, situated
- 3:02Speaker 4: a little bit. You know you're gonna have me out here.
- 3:04Speaker 4: I just want to be out here, yeah, you know,
- 3:06Speaker 4: representing you the glory of the lords. You know what
- 3:09Speaker 4: I'm saying, it ain't got ain't you know, that's just
- 3:10Speaker 4: that's just you know, one of the things that has
- 3:12Speaker 4: happened since I've like gotten my braces off or whatever
- 3:15Speaker 4: had the braces.
- 3:16Speaker 1: It don't matter what side I take a picture on.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Like people, baby, you can get me from this side
- 3:22Speaker 4: or you can get me from this side. It's gonna
- 3:25Speaker 4: give you what's gonna give you. Okay, So people, I
- 3:28Speaker 4: be like, now I'm asking what's your good side? That
- 3:31Speaker 4: has like it's brought another level of confidence, Like so
- 3:35Speaker 4: shout out to those who have invested in their smile.
- 3:37Speaker 4: And you know what, what really, everything's a process, like
- 3:41Speaker 4: what I'm learning, Like, I don't know why why I
- 3:43Speaker 4: just pay attention to things like that.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Everything is a process. That's that's intentional.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Right, So if you think about the process of braces,
- 3:50Speaker 4: it's a depending on depending.
- 3:52Speaker 2: On what you got going on.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Yeah, because because someone was gonna have to have some
- 3:56Speaker 4: pre work, right, they did want to pull some some
- 3:58Speaker 4: teeth and I said, no, I need all my curless,
- 4:01Speaker 4: I want them all. Okay, we're just gonna work with
- 4:03Speaker 4: what we've got. But there's pre work sometimes. But then
- 4:06Speaker 4: there's the process of a thing. Sometimes there's postwork, because honestly,
- 4:10Speaker 4: the initial conversation was that they were I was gonna
- 4:13Speaker 4: come out of the brackets and then I was gonna
- 4:15Speaker 4: have to go into a liners for like five weeks
- 4:17Speaker 4: to finish the process. Right.
- 4:20Speaker 1: The liners are like in bizaligne kind of things. But
- 4:23Speaker 1: when she took them off, she was like, I, actually
- 4:26Speaker 1: we're good. Why do you feel about it?
- 4:27Speaker 4: I said, look, doctor z if I'm honest, like when
- 4:31Speaker 4: them babies got in the line, they wouldn't rip walking
- 4:33Speaker 4: on what I was good, this is your show at
- 4:34Speaker 4: this point.
- 4:35Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But that the process of.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Like from day one to now like into like it
- 4:42Speaker 4: didn't feel good either, because them babies them to get
- 4:44Speaker 4: the shifting baby.
- 4:46Speaker 1: You can feel it, you you really can. You can
- 4:48Speaker 1: feel it be hurt. But I had to remind myself.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I was like, do I really want to do this?
- 4:54Speaker 4: I mean, it's too late now, but like why, Like
- 4:56Speaker 4: you be second guessing licentimes, But as you say, see
- 5:00Speaker 4: you can, as you begin to see the fruit come
- 5:03Speaker 4: on other process, you like, Okay, I see the fruit
- 5:05Speaker 4: now I can I can I can hang in there
- 5:07Speaker 4: and here we are two years and three days later.
- 5:13Speaker 1: And we thank God and know God we blessed name.
- 5:16Speaker 4: One of the things I love that you just said
- 5:18Speaker 4: was like, God, I don't know what you're gonna have
- 5:21Speaker 4: me doing out here, but can I please be presented?
- 5:23Speaker 1: Well, that's basically what you you know.
- 5:25Speaker 4: And another share like that was one of my things, Like,
- 5:28Speaker 4: for one, I've always wanted to bracest so I can
- 5:30Speaker 4: get my my my teeth a line.
- 5:32Speaker 1: People like you didn't need bracest. Yes I did.
- 5:34Speaker 4: I saw the imperfection you didn't. Okay, let's not let's
- 5:38Speaker 4: not even go there.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Okay, So I did that.
- 5:42Speaker 4: But then now I'm so grateful I did that because
- 5:45Speaker 4: we're we're on a podcast all the time, like we're
- 5:48Speaker 4: taking pictures a lot, I mean, and there's just more
- 5:51Speaker 4: that's gonna be when you're a public figure. You know
- 5:54Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like you, it's nothing wrong. I want
- 5:57Speaker 4: to getting yourself together. So I think that one of
- 6:00Speaker 4: the one of the things that we have to focus
- 6:03Speaker 4: on in this building season is are we prepared to
- 6:05Speaker 4: be seen?
- 6:07Speaker 2: Right?
- 6:07Speaker 1: Are we prepared? Like physical representation matters?
- 6:10Speaker 4: And I'm learning that. At first, I was like, oh,
- 6:12Speaker 4: that's vain. No, it's not, it's attraction.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Like you.
- 6:17Speaker 4: The Lord did not make David an ugly man. He
- 6:21Speaker 4: did not what was his name, Samson, they stated, he
- 6:24Speaker 4: said he was fine. This isn't just what he was
- 6:28Speaker 4: fine and naturally, like they mentioned, it's very interesting they
- 6:31Speaker 4: do mention quite a few of them. They're how they looked, like,
- 6:34Speaker 4: how they presented themselves very often in the scriptures.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Why do you think they do that? Because we're visual people.
- 6:41Speaker 1: We're visual people. And one of the things that Coach
- 6:46Speaker 1: talked to me about was just her idea of not.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Not wanting to see vain to people with like her
- 6:54Speaker 4: new vehicle that she had purchased last year or whatever,
- 6:58Speaker 4: and so, but one of the things that she has
- 7:01Speaker 4: started noticing was people would come to her and say, man,
- 7:04Speaker 4: it's you, and the Lord would open the door for
- 7:07Speaker 4: her to minister to people.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And that's what the Lord.
- 7:11Speaker 4: The Lord wants you to have these things. The Lord
- 7:13Speaker 4: wants you to be. The folks a lot of things
- 7:16Speaker 4: to have you, right, don't that's so good? Have the thing,
- 7:21Speaker 4: but don't allow the thing to have you. And so
- 7:23Speaker 4: we have to realize in this building season that that
- 7:28Speaker 4: we're gonna get things, and things are not going to
- 7:31Speaker 4: dictate us, but we're going to be able to utilize
- 7:34Speaker 4: those things as tool. Like my red hair, I could
- 7:36Speaker 4: change my hair at any time, but right now, I
- 7:39Speaker 4: don't feel the Lord even telling me, hey, change the
- 7:41Speaker 4: red hair because it's so attractive. The people like people
- 7:44Speaker 4: know who I am, like, I cannot run away from
- 7:47Speaker 4: lots like side know. If y'all ever see me in
- 7:50Speaker 4: the street, just state your name first, because having a
- 7:57Speaker 4: relationship on social media is a little different. They're doing life,
- 8:01Speaker 4: doing life in real life.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's helped me out. Okay,
- 8:06Speaker 1: just just help me out, lady HD. Okay, it's not intentional.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I remember a.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Phase, but a name, it will it will leave me quickly,
- 8:16Speaker 4: all right. But no, as we're as we're getting to
- 8:19Speaker 4: a building, the Lord was talking to me this morning, Desirae,
- 8:23Speaker 4: and he was talking about I was like, Lord, what
- 8:26Speaker 4: do you want to talk about today? And he brought
- 8:31Speaker 4: up a teaching that I did with the seven figure
- 8:34Speaker 4: podcast community. Shout out to that community. I teach every Wednesday,
- 8:39Speaker 4: and starting out, he says, let's go over what you
- 8:45Speaker 4: went over with them, And so I'm changing this. I
- 8:48Speaker 4: changed it to the builder, specifically the building, because it's
- 8:51Speaker 4: the same.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Ideas random, but it's uh, it's a.
- 8:58Speaker 4: The idea of five mistakes that builder make. Builders make
- 9:03Speaker 4: starting out, and if we know the mistakes, we already
- 9:06Speaker 4: know how to adjust ourselves so we can be we
- 9:09Speaker 4: won't be prone to them. And being prone to something
- 9:13Speaker 4: doesn't mean that it does not happen. But what it
- 9:16Speaker 4: does is I'm aware of the things that I need
- 9:21Speaker 4: that I need to do to in order to avoid
- 9:25Speaker 4: this situation. It's almost like when the flu season comes up,
- 9:28Speaker 4: they they say to get the shot. Sometimes it works.
- 9:34Speaker 4: They say, get the flu shot so you can prevent
- 9:36Speaker 4: for getting the flu. Now, some people still get the flu.
- 9:39Speaker 4: It just happens, right, but some some in some cases don't.
- 9:42Speaker 4: People don't get the food because they took the shot.
- 9:45Speaker 4: Right now, today, we're gonna give.
- 9:47Speaker 1: You your shot. Yes, all right, we're gonna give your shot.
- 9:49Speaker 4: So five mistakes builders make start now, Okay, we're just
- 9:52Speaker 4: gonna go go with the first one.
- 9:53Speaker 1: We're gonna go. We're gonna go with the juggler.
- 9:56Speaker 4: You treat your assignment like a sneaky link, little sneaky
- 10:02Speaker 4: do you know what a.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Sneaky link is. That's like a little downa look.
- 10:07Speaker 4: Explain explain a sneaky link for the people that don't
- 10:10Speaker 4: understand what a sneaky link is. Right, So, y'all, you know,
- 10:13Speaker 4: you may be out like, oh, yeah, I'm doing my thing,
- 10:15Speaker 4: I ain't worried about nobody.
- 10:17Speaker 1: But but the truth is, you got a little friend
- 10:20Speaker 1: mm hmmm, a little friend that y'all you know.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Uh, a person I can't you can't even call it
- 10:25Speaker 4: a friend because a friend loves it all time.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Person that you you know, y'all meet up, meet up
- 10:32Speaker 1: and uh, y'all meet up, and you sneak, you sneak
- 10:35Speaker 1: the link.
- 10:35Speaker 4: You sneak to link, okay, and a lot of when
- 10:39Speaker 4: you when you linking, you're doing a lot of.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Things that you're secrecy not privacy. Link is not known.
- 10:48Speaker 1: You might you might have a friend that knows of
- 10:51Speaker 1: the sneaky link, but they don't.
- 10:55Speaker 4: They might not even know what they look like or whatever.
- 10:58Speaker 4: You just need some form of release to be a
- 11:00Speaker 4: to tell somebody. But the people that need to know
- 11:03Speaker 4: don't know about them. You ain't telling them about your family, y'all.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Ain't going outside if y'all are going outside. You hope,
- 11:09Speaker 4: you're hoping you don't get caught that that that is
- 11:12Speaker 4: a sneaky link.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Okay.
- 11:13Speaker 4: And so some of us are treating our assignments already
- 11:16Speaker 4: like sneaky links, meaning that they had the sneaky The
- 11:20Speaker 4: assignment has no voice, it has not been properly identified,
- 11:24Speaker 4: it's not cared for until you need to.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Can I use the word get off? Oh y'all know
- 11:34Speaker 1: what I mean.
- 11:34Speaker 4: I'll just say that one time, because we are connected
- 11:36Speaker 4: to a network. But you want to get aroused, thank
- 11:40Speaker 4: you Holy Spirit. You want to become aroused. You want this,
- 11:43Speaker 4: this this hormonal experience because you you have an idea.
- 11:50Speaker 4: But the thing about ideas, it will trick you into
- 11:53Speaker 4: thinking that you're doing something and that you're not an idea.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Watch this, you make it. Treating your assignment like a
- 12:03Speaker 4: sneaky link is leaving the assignment in ideal mode.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Ideas don't make impact. Execution does.
- 12:12Speaker 4: The idea is only the lead magnet to your desired outcome.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Okay.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And so.
- 12:20Speaker 4: If you have your assignment and our ideal mode, you're
- 12:25Speaker 4: just saying you're not releasing it, you're not acting upon it.
- 12:29Speaker 4: You want to be able to ensure that the idea
- 12:33Speaker 4: gets the energy that it needs so that you can
- 12:36Speaker 4: go to your desire outcome. And the only way you
- 12:39Speaker 4: get to your desire outcome is if you execute the idea.
- 12:43Speaker 4: You implement the idea. Doing that involves partnership, right, It
- 12:48Speaker 4: involves more knowledge, It involves you spending time out loud
- 12:55Speaker 4: with it. Earlier this year we talked about for the
- 12:59Speaker 4: end of last year, we talked about what it takes
- 13:02Speaker 4: to be a builder. And in the building process, you
- 13:06Speaker 4: can't sneak and build anything. Somebody gonna know about it.
- 13:10Speaker 4: You might not put it on social media, you might
- 13:12Speaker 4: not do but the building it's too loud. Like construction,
- 13:16Speaker 4: it's too loud. The foundation being built, it's too loud.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Even if when they put gates around stuff to so
- 13:24Speaker 4: you won't see it, it's something. It's evident that the
- 13:27Speaker 4: building is happening, right, and so we can You cannot
- 13:30Speaker 4: sneak and build. There's somebody that's gonna know. There's somebody
- 13:35Speaker 4: that needs to cover you. There's somebody that needs to
- 13:37Speaker 4: know who you're dealing with. And so if you're still
- 13:40Speaker 4: flirting with the idea of a thing, it's it's a
- 13:44Speaker 4: sneaky link.
- 13:45Speaker 1: So you do you what's your feedback there? Just I
- 13:48Speaker 1: mean not I am just.
- 13:53Speaker 4: It's like, it's so interesting because I think sometimes we
- 13:57Speaker 4: think just because we've written it down and you may
- 14:00Speaker 4: revisited back, you know, you may go read it again
- 14:02Speaker 4: like oh yeah that, and you may add a little
- 14:04Speaker 4: something to it from time to time, like we'd be like,
- 14:06Speaker 4: did we doing something? But until, like you said, you
- 14:10Speaker 4: begin to put some some tangible execution steps to it,
- 14:13Speaker 4: like it's still there's still just gonna be just the idea.
- 14:16Speaker 4: And I and I understand like sometimes the idea could
- 14:19Speaker 4: be frightening, it can come on now, it could be
- 14:21Speaker 4: it could be like scary, like you want me to
- 14:24Speaker 4: do what?
- 14:25Speaker 1: Yeah? Lord, yeah, this is this is so this is
- 14:28Speaker 1: so good. So literally this week. So I'm in a.
- 14:33Speaker 4: A I've been in a transitional season but seems like
- 14:38Speaker 4: an elf who child but here recently, this this past year,
- 14:43Speaker 4: the Lord has just been kind of revealing more of
- 14:44Speaker 4: the process and the wise and and I'm understanding, oh,
- 14:47Speaker 4: I had to go through that so I could be
- 14:49Speaker 4: here kind of thing. And I remember writing and the
- 14:51Speaker 4: Lord has really been working with me. And I used
- 14:54Speaker 4: to write a lot like I used to have, like journals,
- 14:56Speaker 4: Like I still love journals. I love paper, I love
- 14:58Speaker 4: pencils and colors and all those things. I used to
- 15:00Speaker 4: write a lot before I kind of got into this
- 15:01Speaker 4: season and the Lord is really bringing back like it
- 15:05Speaker 4: was like two ideas, two things. Specifically, I remember that
- 15:07Speaker 4: I've written down multiple times. Yea discipleship. I remember writing
- 15:13Speaker 4: discipleship down multiple times, not knowing really understanding like what
- 15:17Speaker 4: that looks like or what that really is. But also
- 15:19Speaker 4: I wrote down healing rooms, right, I've written that down
- 15:23Speaker 4: a couple of times. Also to the front point where
- 15:26Speaker 4: I was actually like I love looking at real estate too,
- 15:29Speaker 4: Like I would look at houses. And the funny thing
- 15:31Speaker 4: is there was a point where I would only look
- 15:33Speaker 4: at homes that was that I felt like was in
- 15:37Speaker 4: my reach. Right, So it may be like two hundred
- 15:40Speaker 4: thousand dollars home, yeahs, it may be like, you know,
- 15:42Speaker 4: maybe three hundred thousand dollars homes. But it wasn't until
- 15:45Speaker 4: like I was like, oh man, healing rooms, and the
- 15:47Speaker 4: Lord began to show me houses like a house and
- 15:50Speaker 4: the house, the house that had space and capacity for
- 15:53Speaker 4: people to come to like heal like this maybe somebody
- 15:56Speaker 4: was like, hey, dad's I need you know, I'm in
- 15:57Speaker 4: a space.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I just need some time to blah blah blah. Do
- 16:00Speaker 1: you have a capacity? Oh yeah, absolutely, so you need
- 16:01Speaker 1: space for that.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Right.
- 16:03Speaker 1: So then I begin to look at like seven hundred
- 16:05Speaker 1: thousand dollar homes and a million dollar homes, right.
- 16:07Speaker 4: And so it literally, as I'm writing it down, I'm like, okay, Lord,
- 16:11Speaker 4: literally this week and I sent I had to send
- 16:13Speaker 4: the Browns a message because I was like, wow, this
- 16:15Speaker 4: is so good. I was talking to a friend and
- 16:17Speaker 4: we were kind of talking about being similar situations, and
- 16:20Speaker 4: the Lord began to remind me of the healing rooms
- 16:23Speaker 4: that I had written down and that I've had the
- 16:26Speaker 4: opportunity to experience the thing that is which to come. Also,
- 16:31Speaker 4: I'm realizing that a lot of times you have to
- 16:33Speaker 4: walk through the process because the Lord. That's what the
- 16:36Speaker 4: Lord most of the time wants to use you to
- 16:38Speaker 4: be able to reach back, rehare, to teach, to deliver
- 16:41Speaker 4: people on. So I've had to walk through this process
- 16:43Speaker 4: of being in a someone's home. Yeah, right, and in
- 16:47Speaker 4: that space it's been a healing space. It didn't look
- 16:50Speaker 4: traditionally like I thought it was going to be You know,
- 16:51Speaker 4: you may think like like a prayer room or something
- 16:53Speaker 4: like that. No, it's literally a room, a space that
- 16:57Speaker 4: the Lord has a been allowed to do some internal healing.
- 17:02Speaker 1: That's so good.
- 17:04Speaker 4: So I'm like, okay, so I've written it. I written
- 17:07Speaker 4: down an idea, I rent down a thought, and I
- 17:09Speaker 4: literally submit. I said, I don't know what this is,
- 17:11Speaker 4: but here go Lord, and I've been able to walk
- 17:13Speaker 4: through it. And as I'm walking through it, I'm like, Okay,
- 17:15Speaker 4: Now the responsibility is what do you want me to
- 17:18Speaker 4: do with this?
- 17:19Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 17:19Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 17:20Speaker 4: It's like, okay, now I'm thinking wherever I am, because
- 17:23Speaker 4: if I know this is something I'm supposed to be
- 17:25Speaker 4: doing wherever I am or ver MMed up, I have
- 17:27Speaker 4: to have the open heart and capacity in order to
- 17:29Speaker 4: be able to do this thing healing space like that.
- 17:32Speaker 4: So it's like it's one thing to just write the
- 17:35Speaker 4: idea down, but some kind of way you have to
- 17:37Speaker 4: interact with the idea, you know what I'm saying.
- 17:40Speaker 1: So this this ain't a sneaky thing because apparently I
- 17:43Speaker 1: said it loud. Yeah, yeah, you didn't say it. It's loud. Now,
- 17:48Speaker 1: healing room what I love what I love what you.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Just said was that the execution process looks different. So
- 17:55Speaker 4: it depending on what stage you're on, the requirement or
- 18:00Speaker 4: the expectation of execution is going to be so. But
- 18:03Speaker 4: you want to do something, your execution is you going
- 18:06Speaker 4: through the process yourself right now, Like even as we
- 18:10Speaker 4: build what we're building as far as like the agency,
- 18:14Speaker 4: we had to go through it first, but we were
- 18:16Speaker 4: still execute executing on the idea of God. But we
- 18:20Speaker 4: had to go through the thing that was the first
- 18:23Speaker 4: part of execution. And so don't think that thank you
- 18:25Speaker 4: only spirit, don't think that just because you're not executing
- 18:30Speaker 4: the way that you think that you want to execute
- 18:32Speaker 4: in that way, because she could have just went and
- 18:34Speaker 4: let me go get this house.
- 18:35Speaker 1: And no, I need you to know, I need I
- 18:38Speaker 1: need you.
- 18:39Speaker 4: To embody what it is that they will experience because
- 18:42Speaker 4: you'll know what to look for, you'll know what to say.
- 18:44Speaker 1: You know, this room ain't big enough. They need a
- 18:46Speaker 1: bigger bathroom.
- 18:47Speaker 4: They don't need to share this like you can be
- 18:49Speaker 4: very specific. Uh, the garage can't be this big because
- 18:52Speaker 4: they're gonna need more space and they're gonna need storage here.
- 18:55Speaker 4: And do I want to go have and have and
- 18:56Speaker 4: set this up like an EVERYB style, Like you're gonna
- 18:59Speaker 4: have the language for the for the idea, right, And
- 19:04Speaker 4: sometimes the first step of execution is discovery, right, discovering.
- 19:10Speaker 1: And and dating the idea.
- 19:12Speaker 4: Oh, thank you, Come on, you're dating the idea, right,
- 19:17Speaker 4: And so when you're dating the idea, you're getting to
- 19:19Speaker 4: know the plan in which it's going to direct you to. Right,
- 19:24Speaker 4: You're gonna you're dating the ideal with the knowledge of knowing. Okay,
- 19:27Speaker 4: I see this big picture like I want to get married, right,
- 19:31Speaker 4: but I'm courting and I'm dating to see what fits
- 19:35Speaker 4: and what doesn't.
- 19:36Speaker 1: But I know I'm a wife.
- 19:38Speaker 4: That's good that that doesn't change what I'm doing. And
- 19:41Speaker 4: the dating does not change the thing that I'm going
- 19:43Speaker 4: to be a wife. It's just who I'm married, what
- 19:45Speaker 4: the commitment looks like.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Okay. So the first one, we were releasing them sneaker links.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 19:53Speaker 4: No, okay, And I'll say this too to help with
- 19:56Speaker 4: this this beginning process, I think the fear comes and
- 20:00Speaker 4: because we because it's like how this is gonna happen,
- 20:02Speaker 4: How I gonna do this X, Y and Z, Like
- 20:05Speaker 4: the idea is there because the idea was given to you.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Now we have to give the idea back to the
- 20:11Speaker 1: person that's going to do it. That's the Lord. The
- 20:13Speaker 1: Lord has given it to you because obviously he wants
- 20:15Speaker 1: you to do it.
- 20:16Speaker 4: He's not expecting you to do it in your own
- 20:18Speaker 4: strength and your own understanding. He's expecting you to give
- 20:20Speaker 4: it back to him so that he can give you
- 20:22Speaker 4: the plan or whatever the next step for that thing is.
- 20:25Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying, give give it back to the Lord.
- 20:28Speaker 4: All right, So we just went over to treat treating
- 20:31Speaker 4: your assignment like a sneak link. We're not making that mistake.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Okay.
- 20:35Speaker 1: The second mistake we're gonna avoid is not setting a
- 20:38Speaker 1: date slash waiting for the right time. What does it
- 20:43Speaker 1: even mean? Not setting a date slash waiting for the
- 20:46Speaker 1: right time? Waiting for the right time. We always talk.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I hear a lot of.
- 20:49Speaker 4: People say, I'm just waiting for the right time to
- 20:53Speaker 4: do this thing. I'm waiting for the right time. I'm
- 20:55Speaker 4: waiting on the Lord.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's a that's a real holy answer. I'm
- 20:59Speaker 1: waiting on Oh okay.
- 21:01Speaker 4: You know what I've discovered is that that's a real thing.
- 21:06Speaker 4: I mean, you know, like wait on the Lord is
- 21:08Speaker 4: a real thing. But also most of the time the
- 21:09Speaker 4: Lord is really waiting on us to execute. So I
- 21:12Speaker 4: do believe that, you know, the scripture talk about how
- 21:16Speaker 4: we know in parts like I do like and I'm
- 21:18Speaker 4: just speaking from my own experience. There's been things like
- 21:20Speaker 4: I just talked about, that I've written down, like years ago.
- 21:23Speaker 4: There are some things in that time that I moved on.
- 21:26Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, Lord, is this what we're doing
- 21:27Speaker 4: right now? He'd be like, okay, go and I'd be like, okay,
- 21:29Speaker 4: bet let's go and I'll move on those things. There's
- 21:32Speaker 4: also things that he's given me because he's like, Hey,
- 21:35Speaker 4: this is what this is what you're going to be doing,
- 21:38Speaker 4: this is what I want, this is what's gonna happen.
- 21:40Speaker 1: But time has to go by.
- 21:42Speaker 4: So a case in point, I had to walk through
- 21:43Speaker 4: some processes, walk through some experiences in order. Now I'm
- 21:47Speaker 4: in a space where it's like, oh, I can see it,
- 21:50Speaker 4: and it's probably still some processing to go right. But
- 21:53Speaker 4: when it comes to time, one, as we just talked about,
- 21:56Speaker 4: it's asking the Lord about what is this time for
- 22:00Speaker 4: now or is this time for later?
- 22:02Speaker 1: If it's time for now.
- 22:03Speaker 4: Now you have to be like okay, okay, okay, Lord.
- 22:09Speaker 4: So it's just like this month or this, like is
- 22:13Speaker 4: this need to be done like six months from now?
- 22:15Speaker 4: This like this the year thing and take that time
- 22:18Speaker 4: and be able to back it up and like, okay,
- 22:20Speaker 4: what's the next practical step for this thing?
- 22:22Speaker 1: Right?
- 22:23Speaker 4: I think that also at what either way, even going
- 22:28Speaker 4: back to the execution, just noticing that there's something that's required.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Right.
- 22:33Speaker 4: So case in point, the safe space our community nineteen
- 22:37Speaker 4: ninety five, be a Patreon.
- 22:39Speaker 1: The linco is in the bio. We meet every Monday.
- 22:42Speaker 1: You should join. But the safe space that we've created
- 22:49Speaker 1: was not something I wanted to do.
- 22:51Speaker 4: The safe space was that I've had so many ideas
- 22:55Speaker 4: that still would be implemented eventually.
- 22:58Speaker 1: But I was at I was at Woman Evolved, was
- 23:02Speaker 1: at about two years ago. I think it was twenty three,
- 23:05Speaker 1: twenty three, well so twenty three and.
- 23:09Speaker 4: Literally I was in the Potter's house and the Lord
- 23:12Speaker 4: drops this vision of a safe space tour for me,
- 23:16Speaker 4: and I said, okay, Lord, and he told me it's
- 23:19Speaker 4: where worshiped me's conversation.
- 23:23Speaker 1: And then started listing cities out.
- 23:26Speaker 4: I mean I'm getting I mean, I'm at the Potter's
- 23:29Speaker 4: house before a Bible study, just going ham like I know,
- 23:36Speaker 4: court I mean not Courtney. I'm having a I'm having
- 23:40Speaker 4: a brain fart. But just my homegirl was waiting on me,
- 23:45Speaker 4: like to come out the bathroom. I stopped in the bathroom,
- 23:48Speaker 4: was like, oh my gosh, I gotta write this nown
- 23:50Speaker 4: I'm writing all of this down. And I thought it
- 23:54Speaker 4: was about to happen that year. I remember Colling Desert
- 23:57Speaker 4: Brand and said, girl, this is what the Lord told me.
- 24:01Speaker 4: We're going on tour, and I'm just gonna believe God.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I'm still gonna believe God. The tour wasn't supposed to
- 24:07Speaker 1: happen then. And then I tried.
- 24:09Speaker 4: I was like, okay, I'm still actively engaging with the idea.
- 24:13Speaker 1: This is so good.
- 24:14Speaker 4: I'm actively engaging with the idea. I'm setting different dates
- 24:17Speaker 4: or different things. We still have the live that we
- 24:21Speaker 4: did with Crystal. I interview her and we had works
- 24:24Speaker 4: with I tried to make it make sense. I tried
- 24:25Speaker 4: to bring the vision here. I tried it and I
- 24:28Speaker 4: was like, okay, I tried. That was good, but was
- 24:31Speaker 4: it God's timing right? But I was because God gave
- 24:35Speaker 4: me this idea and he saw me actively trying to
- 24:39Speaker 4: pursue it then didn't go in vain.
- 24:41Speaker 1: So watch this. We get to last year, and what
- 24:45Speaker 1: I had been running away from was leading a community.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Leading community, y'all gotta pay attention to what you're running
- 24:50Speaker 4: way from two cause it might be the evidence of
- 24:53Speaker 4: what you're already thinking about.
- 24:55Speaker 1: So I'm like, Okay, I don't really want to do
- 24:57Speaker 1: a community.
- 24:58Speaker 4: But because that's cause I didn't want to commit at
- 25:00Speaker 4: the time, I didn't think I was good enough to
- 25:02Speaker 4: lead the community, like all this stuff in my head.
- 25:04Speaker 4: So fast forward, the Yes three sixty five leads to Okay,
- 25:08Speaker 4: I said, Lord, we're talking about people being committed, and
- 25:11Speaker 4: they we can't hear the voices. We can't hear da
- 25:13Speaker 4: da da. So out of a challenge for Yes three
- 25:16Speaker 4: sixty five, it's supposed to be a six week challenge,
- 25:20Speaker 4: and we read The Journey of Yes by Brenda Palmer.
- 25:23Speaker 4: If you have not read that book, go get it,
- 25:25Speaker 4: run get it today.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Okay.
- 25:28Speaker 4: I pray that she's on this podcast one day so
- 25:31Speaker 4: we could talk about it, because it was phenomenal. It's
- 25:34Speaker 4: a phenomenal book. Go get the book. So we went
- 25:37Speaker 4: through that book together and the community. The community was like, Jessica,
- 25:45Speaker 4: can we can we keep this going?
- 25:47Speaker 1: I know you said six.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Weeks, but that's not enough enough. That's not and doesn't
- 25:52Speaker 4: raise a testament them folks. Was like I said, and
- 25:57Speaker 4: it was free at that point.
- 25:58Speaker 1: It was free the challenge.
- 26:00Speaker 4: That was just something I just wanted to do. But
- 26:02Speaker 4: even Keana shout out to she's our admin for the
- 26:07Speaker 4: Safe Space. She was like, no, ma'am, you can't do that.
- 26:11Speaker 4: If you're gonna do this, we like, Okay, well I'll
- 26:14Speaker 4: do I can commit twice a month and it's not
- 26:17Speaker 4: it's not gonna be called it yester su five. I
- 26:19Speaker 4: hear the Lord say, call it the safe Space. Once
- 26:22Speaker 4: I did that, Lord says, this is how you're going
- 26:24Speaker 4: to get to the tour. I need y'all to hear this,
- 26:29Speaker 4: then you I set the date.
- 26:31Speaker 1: I pursued it.
- 26:32Speaker 4: I I I didn't wait for the right time to
- 26:36Speaker 4: do anything. I tried to figure out what it what
- 26:40Speaker 4: it is that God was trying to say. I made
- 26:43Speaker 4: myself engaged, actively engaged.
- 26:45Speaker 1: That's so, that's so good. I actively engaged in the
- 26:48Speaker 1: idea of God. Even though I you know, he didn't.
- 26:53Speaker 4: He didn't disregard my efforts because my efforts were righteous
- 26:56Speaker 4: because I was trying to obey him.
- 26:59Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 27:01Speaker 4: I was trying to obey him. But as soon as
- 27:03Speaker 4: I did the community the Lord, it's like, this is
- 27:05Speaker 4: what's going to lead to the tour. It's not that
- 27:07Speaker 4: the tour is not happening, and it's not that what
- 27:09Speaker 4: you did when Crystal did not make sense.
- 27:12Speaker 1: You had to do this first.
- 27:14Speaker 4: And so when I started doing and actively working and
- 27:18Speaker 4: I set a date, the ideas and the things are
- 27:23Speaker 4: flowing more. Now I'm confident that not only will we
- 27:26Speaker 4: be doing the tour, but it will be financially successful
- 27:30Speaker 4: for the Kingdom. It's not even about you know what
- 27:32Speaker 4: I'm saying, Who make a million dollars off of nineteen
- 27:34Speaker 4: ninety five?
- 27:35Speaker 2: You know what?
- 27:35Speaker 1: Iody? Show me, Just show me. You know what I'm saying.
- 27:38Speaker 4: Some people might be doing it, but right now, it's
- 27:41Speaker 4: just a seed. So we can make sure administrative stuff
- 27:44Speaker 4: that's taken care of. And so waiting on the right
- 27:46Speaker 4: time wouldn't have given me the answer that I needed.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Waiting on the right time to pursue the idea of
- 27:53Speaker 4: God is an excuse not to pursue the idea of God. Yeah,
- 28:00Speaker 4: it really is because the idea, like you said earlier,
- 28:03Speaker 4: sometimes a lot of times it's bigger than us, and
- 28:07Speaker 4: so we get scared of the idea and let the
- 28:10Speaker 4: idea punk us out. When God is like, no, I
- 28:12Speaker 4: trust you, is I need you to grow into this.
- 28:15Speaker 4: That's what's really happening. Waiting on the right time is
- 28:18Speaker 4: waiting for a perfectionism that's not going to happen. It's
- 28:21Speaker 4: not gonna happen, and you're never going to figure out
- 28:23Speaker 4: being Still, I think one of the dope things is
- 28:26Speaker 4: that a lot of times what we think is what
- 28:29Speaker 4: we think something is, it's not necessarily what God is saying.
- 28:35Speaker 4: And I was just thinking about when you talked about worship,
- 28:37Speaker 4: worship meets conversation. That's still what's happening in the safe
- 28:40Speaker 4: space because we automatical when we say worship, we automatically
- 28:43Speaker 4: think singing. We think, you know, going to third heavens.
- 28:46Speaker 4: But literally, the reason why the Lord gave me is
- 28:52Speaker 4: because I've been learning that our main purpose is to
- 28:56Speaker 4: glorify God, which means everything that we do as we
- 29:00Speaker 4: submitted back to him is worship unto him. Right, So
- 29:02Speaker 4: as we're building right and we're submitting the plans, we're
- 29:07Speaker 4: submitting the ideas or submitting them back unto God, that
- 29:10Speaker 4: is worshiped unto the Lord. So we're meeting in this
- 29:12Speaker 4: space where we're like, Okay, God, you've given us this thing.
- 29:15Speaker 4: You put me in this community, Like you're in a
- 29:17Speaker 4: safe space to be able to talk these things out.
- 29:19Speaker 4: You got a space where it's like, whoo hoo, the
- 29:22Speaker 4: Lord just drop this thing on me.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I don't want to do it yet.
- 29:24Speaker 4: And you're and you're surrounded by other builders who understand,
- 29:28Speaker 4: like sometimes like you don't have the space to like
- 29:31Speaker 4: like there's certain things that I can't necessarily talk about
- 29:35Speaker 4: in certain spaces because they just don't understand. They don't
- 29:37Speaker 4: understand because they're not positioned to understand. And also with
- 29:42Speaker 4: the people that the women that we have in this community, specifically,
- 29:46Speaker 4: they're leading other communities, so they can't show that side,
- 29:50Speaker 4: they can't expose that side to people that they're leading. Yeah,
- 29:54Speaker 4: that's good that you just can't do that because then
- 29:58Speaker 4: people get too familiar with you, like, well, you don't
- 30:00Speaker 4: do this, well, you you don't need that you need
- 30:02Speaker 4: a space where it's like girls, listen, I don't know
- 30:05Speaker 4: how I'm getting this good. Okay, I'm glad. Okay, let's
- 30:08Speaker 4: make a plan and then you're they you look good
- 30:10Speaker 4: to them. You gonna look good to them. You're gonna
- 30:13Speaker 4: struggle with us, but you you look good that we're
- 30:15Speaker 4: gonna get you off the struggle bus.
- 30:16Speaker 1: We're gonna help you because yeah, they help me.
- 30:19Speaker 4: Look and going back to what we talked about in
- 30:22Speaker 4: a couple of episodes ago iron shopping and Iron, Yeah,
- 30:25Speaker 4: you know, see you in the space. It's important for
- 30:28Speaker 4: you to get into a space yeah, where you're you're challenged,
- 30:32Speaker 4: not challenged. Challenge is good, right, we think like, oh,
- 30:35Speaker 4: you know, I'm intimidated because everybody doing everyone as even
- 30:37Speaker 4: though you need to be in that space so you
- 30:39Speaker 4: can see that it's possible, right, and that what you
- 30:41Speaker 4: have is value and you're in this space for this
- 30:43Speaker 4: Iron is this Your iron.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Is shopping in their iron and you shopping in their iron, and.
- 30:46Speaker 4: So that you can be prepared to be able to
- 30:48Speaker 4: because that's what it's for, right, be able to be prepared,
- 30:51Speaker 4: to be able to see and to manage.
- 30:52Speaker 1: The thing that the Lord is to pray. What's so
- 30:54Speaker 1: good about that is that's our next point.
- 30:56Speaker 4: So the next mistake that you make as a builder
- 31:00Speaker 4: are people make to as a builder is reaching up
- 31:03Speaker 4: and not out right?
- 31:05Speaker 1: So what does that mean?
- 31:07Speaker 4: It's good to get all these coaching opportunities, it's good
- 31:12Speaker 4: tell a ring, it's good to like Okay, for instance,
- 31:19Speaker 4: I'm gonna use the example David Shan's is a mentor
- 31:22Speaker 4: of my coach of mine. Right, David Shan's is well
- 31:26Speaker 4: above where Jesski is. Right now, I know I can
- 31:29Speaker 4: look forward to where he is because I am under
- 31:35Speaker 4: his umbrella of influence.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Right.
- 31:38Speaker 4: I am influenced by him, I am nurtured by him.
- 31:43Speaker 4: But there is a connection that I do not have
- 31:45Speaker 4: with him because I'm not on the same level as he,
- 31:49Speaker 4: because I am not. I know what I can look
- 31:52Speaker 4: forward to, but I also need what I have across
- 31:55Speaker 4: from me to help me get to where I want
- 31:57Speaker 4: to be. Right, And so even when we're talking about
- 32:00Speaker 4: not too long ago partnerships, partner, how righteous partnership is
- 32:06Speaker 4: so important and we look so forward to being the
- 32:10Speaker 4: quote unquote beyonces of our industry, and that we want
- 32:13Speaker 4: to just make the connection with the people that's up
- 32:16Speaker 4: versus the people that's out. And so if I never
- 32:18Speaker 4: connected with desil Ray, there's a lot of things that
- 32:20Speaker 4: wouldn't have happened for this podcast. Desil Ray knows a
- 32:23Speaker 4: lot of knowledge that I don't have, and she's influenced
- 32:26Speaker 4: me in that way, but vice versa.
- 32:28Speaker 1: So where I'm weak, she is strong.
- 32:30Speaker 4: Type of thing that iron shopping iron collaboration is so important.
- 32:34Speaker 4: Some of y'all have missed the mark on collaboration, and
- 32:39Speaker 4: I think that, for one, you have to manage collaboration. Well,
- 32:44Speaker 4: you can't mismanage God's people.
- 32:46Speaker 1: You cannot. God gonna get you.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Okay, you can think you right about it all you
- 32:51Speaker 4: want to, but God is gonna get you about his
- 32:53Speaker 4: people right. And so collaborate with people, different people, even
- 32:58Speaker 4: if you don't think they're on the same was you
- 33:00Speaker 4: one of the things that I loved. I had a
- 33:02Speaker 4: conversation with both Trician Flosto mac and el Hood Ladarius Hutcherson,
- 33:09Speaker 4: and one of the commonalities that they told me was, Hey, Jessica,
- 33:13Speaker 4: you bring value to my life. You brought value to
- 33:15Speaker 4: me by inviting me to your podcast. You brought value
- 33:18Speaker 4: to me by having a conversation with me, and they
- 33:21Speaker 4: made they made me realize. They was like, hey, you're
- 33:23Speaker 4: you're here, like you're still growing into certain things that
- 33:26Speaker 4: I'm doing. But no, like you got it, Like so
- 33:29Speaker 4: let's work, like let be use me as a resource.
- 33:32Speaker 1: But Trician sold me good I can. He's hilarious, y'all.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Dont follow the flosto mac to get that. Man is hilarious.
- 33:40Speaker 4: He gonna tell me, jusica, everybody, you, somebody, everybody, youth,
- 33:44Speaker 4: you you have a problem do with the word us.
- 33:46Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's just making me like I'm
- 33:48Speaker 1: just so overwhelming. He's like everybody. He was just making
- 33:55Speaker 1: me loud.
- 33:56Speaker 4: But he was making a ballid point, like collaboration is
- 33:59Speaker 4: so needed for us to get the will of God completed.
- 34:03Speaker 1: That's the that's that's that's the thing.
- 34:06Speaker 4: I think sometimes people are not as open to doing
- 34:09Speaker 4: collaborations because they've been burned before, they've been in like
- 34:12Speaker 4: bad situations, you know what I'm saying. But we're talking
- 34:14Speaker 4: about kingdom minded people, you know what I'm saying, who
- 34:19Speaker 4: their their ultimate goal is to bring glory to the
- 34:22Speaker 4: Kingdom of God. Come on, I'm saying so there has
- 34:24Speaker 4: to be a certain heart posture behind the thing that
- 34:28Speaker 4: you're doing. Why, I mean, why, why why do you
- 34:30Speaker 4: want to Why is it important for us to be
- 34:32Speaker 4: able to collaborate together?
- 34:33Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Because I just want to
- 34:35Speaker 1: be out there because you got being followers and I
- 34:37Speaker 1: just want to get my name out there. I just
- 34:38Speaker 1: want to be out in front.
- 34:39Speaker 4: Or is it no?
- 34:40Speaker 1: Like literally like I believe like what we have, like.
- 34:43Speaker 4: What you have, what I have, like our audiences can
- 34:45Speaker 4: benefit from it. And also and it can be a
- 34:47Speaker 4: wider net for the Lord to be able to pull up.
- 34:50Speaker 4: That's so good, you know what I'm saying. So it's
- 34:52Speaker 4: not I want to be out there, it's no, how
- 34:54Speaker 4: can I make the Lord's name great?
- 34:56Speaker 1: Come on?
- 34:57Speaker 4: How can how can we collaborate to make the Kingdom
- 34:59Speaker 4: of God Expand that's so good to different territories. So
- 35:03Speaker 4: that's literally what that's literally what you're doing when you're collaborating.
- 35:05Speaker 4: You're saying, hey, you gotta tell territory. I got a territory.
- 35:09Speaker 4: How can we bring these territories together to build the
- 35:12Speaker 4: Kingdom of God?
- 35:12Speaker 1: Right, that's so good? And then you make yourself accessible
- 35:16Speaker 1: because when people that are up. This is so good.
- 35:18Speaker 4: When people that that you admire look at you and
- 35:24Speaker 4: see what you're doing with the people that you're collaborating with,
- 35:27Speaker 4: it makes them want to utilize your services more. Right,
- 35:32Speaker 4: Hence Tabitha Brown like anytime, and it's just so having
- 35:36Speaker 4: that I have her shirt on today. So y'all wonder
- 35:38Speaker 4: what we love love to Auntie tab is some her
- 35:41Speaker 4: face right here because my business. But somebody like miss
- 35:47Speaker 4: tab she does serve and love to utilize people and
- 35:51Speaker 4: give them the the opportunities. But if I wasn't doing anything,
- 35:56Speaker 4: and if this wasn't collabing, that opportununity would have never
- 36:00Speaker 4: been visible, noticeable or whatever. Like this collaboration made mistab happen.
- 36:06Speaker 4: I want to I want you all to really understand that,
- 36:10Speaker 4: Like I didn't get that just off of off of whim.
- 36:13Speaker 4: The Lord did what he did, but he needed something
- 36:15Speaker 4: to use. He needed he needed some evidence like oh
- 36:18Speaker 4: this is why this is here. That didn't happen without Desiree.
- 36:21Speaker 4: That's why when that opportunity came, Hey, Desiree, come and
- 36:23Speaker 4: with me see some and then some of us we
- 36:26Speaker 4: forget once we get these opportunities.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Let me be real, real soft loud on this.
- 36:33Speaker 4: Some of you get these opportunities and y'all forget who
- 36:38Speaker 4: helped you with the opportunity and not saying that you
- 36:41Speaker 4: need to glorify and other stuff like that, and the
- 36:42Speaker 4: Lord tell you take somebody else cool, have the conversation,
- 36:44Speaker 4: do it well.
- 36:46Speaker 1: But you ain't finding just without DESI rae. The Lord
- 36:50Speaker 1: himself gonna have to say yeah about that.
- 36:55Speaker 4: No, I'm not doing it because she has seen me.
- 36:59Speaker 4: We wonder why we see these relationships and they're lasting,
- 37:03Speaker 4: and they're like, how y'all get friends with No, these
- 37:06Speaker 4: relationships ain't just starting out like these famous people are
- 37:08Speaker 4: the people that we admire.
- 37:10Speaker 1: They're not just starting out just randomly.
- 37:12Speaker 4: No, a lot of these people grind it together, and
- 37:15Speaker 4: you have to make sure you measure the emotional intelligence, like, hey, no,
- 37:19Speaker 4: she already knows me, so we can move quicker because
- 37:21Speaker 4: we've been in a grind together.
- 37:24Speaker 1: I ain't have to des ray. I already knew what
- 37:26Speaker 1: to do with the.
- 37:26Speaker 4: Whole camera situation or whatever, how we was gonna maneuver
- 37:29Speaker 4: when we got there for the opportunity mistake, I ain't
- 37:31Speaker 4: have to worry about nothing.
- 37:32Speaker 1: She went before me. She was there before me.
- 37:36Speaker 4: You get what I'm saying, Like, so I'm asking that's Ray, Hey,
- 37:38Speaker 4: what's the what's the signs of the land, what's the
- 37:41Speaker 4: mapping of the land.
- 37:43Speaker 1: But because I trust her already, I ain't got a
- 37:45Speaker 1: question is she lying to me? Is she doing this
- 37:48Speaker 1: to me?
- 37:49Speaker 4: When you're able to walk with someone, you can walk
- 37:53Speaker 4: in with confidence knowing that you're covered.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Thank you all experience.
- 37:56Speaker 4: Collaboration promotes covering these people that are before you. That's
- 38:01Speaker 4: a level of comforting. But the intimacy that collaboration allows.
- 38:06Speaker 4: You know my strengths, you know my weaknesses, You're gonna
- 38:09Speaker 4: be able. It's certain things that Ray was able to
- 38:11Speaker 4: say that day. I was like, I didn't even have
- 38:13Speaker 4: to think. I didn't know to think about it. Hey, Jessica,
- 38:16Speaker 4: when you come in, you need to do this, You
- 38:17Speaker 4: need to do that.
- 38:18Speaker 2: You need it.
- 38:18Speaker 4: And I looked like a professional because my partner was there. Yeah,
- 38:22Speaker 4: my partner, my collaborator was there. We have to give
- 38:26Speaker 4: the person next to us an opportunity. So I'm gonna
- 38:29Speaker 4: say this out loud, Birmingham proadcasters, if you're in the
- 38:32Speaker 4: city of Birmingham, I am specifically talking to my city.
- 38:35Speaker 4: I want to collab with you. I want to give
- 38:39Speaker 4: us an opportunity to work together. Okay, I do not
- 38:43Speaker 4: think I'm above a program. I know I have a
- 38:46Speaker 4: lot of value to offer. But there are some of
- 38:48Speaker 4: you that I've been seeing on social media. Baby, when
- 38:52Speaker 4: I reach out, just know that you are quality. You
- 38:55Speaker 4: are quality baby. So my own city, I want us
- 38:59Speaker 4: to be as a city that has a marketable space too,
- 39:03Speaker 4: because what's irritating is right next door to Atlanta, people
- 39:07Speaker 4: go do a whole PR tour, PR whatever, spread on
- 39:13Speaker 4: books and opportunities or whatever. But this is not a stop.
- 39:17Speaker 1: We have to collapse to make that type of stuff happen.
- 39:20Speaker 4: So this is my commitment this year. We're working and
- 39:24Speaker 4: we're working together a a let's go let go behim
- 39:28Speaker 4: all right. So we talked about treating the assignment like
- 39:31Speaker 4: a sneaky not setting a date, waiting for the right time,
- 39:36Speaker 4: reaching up and not out. Now this is this one's
- 39:39Speaker 4: gonna be desil Ray's point because she loves this type
- 39:43Speaker 4: of stuff.
- 39:44Speaker 2: She loves it.
- 39:45Speaker 1: We dishonor what's in our hands.
- 39:50Speaker 4: That's a huge mistake as a builder that believing that
- 39:55Speaker 4: you don't already have something that you need so that
- 39:58Speaker 4: you can move on to the next day.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Who I just thought about Moses, just thought about Moses.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Moses was like, oh, oh Lord, this is this is
- 40:08Speaker 1: this old Lord?
- 40:10Speaker 2: I the Lord.
- 40:11Speaker 1: The Lord's like brouh, What's Then I gave you the staff,
- 40:15Speaker 1: like you got the staff? Like what are you talking about?
- 40:17Speaker 1: Like point the staff and let's do the thing right.
- 40:20Speaker 1: And I remember when I was first So the gag
- 40:24Speaker 1: is I'm a hairstylist and I had started out in
- 40:27Speaker 1: entrepreneurship in twenty fifteen doing hair full time, but I
- 40:32Speaker 1: still loved photography, Like I knew it was so interesting.
- 40:35Speaker 1: I knew I had this idea of like doing hair,
- 40:37Speaker 1: makeup and photography. I just didn't really know what it
- 40:39Speaker 1: looked like kind of thing.
- 40:40Speaker 4: And so as I just began to dig deeper into
- 40:42Speaker 4: the photography space, I ended up taking Brandon Shotney's course,
- 40:46Speaker 4: which shooters camp.
- 40:47Speaker 1: And so in the course, which he is so silly
- 40:50Speaker 1: he is, he's another but very good at what he does.
- 40:53Speaker 4: Right, So in this course I began to learn videography
- 40:56Speaker 4: as well. So I had a friend that had a
- 40:59Speaker 4: podcast and it was just audio and she was putting
- 41:01Speaker 4: an audio on YouTube little graphic, which now, now I
- 41:04Speaker 4: guess that's a thing.
- 41:04Speaker 1: But at the time, I'm like, people go to YouTube
- 41:07Speaker 1: to watch videos.
- 41:09Speaker 4: We can't do this.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Like, if we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it.
- 41:11Speaker 1: So I said, I got a camera. I had a camera,
- 41:14Speaker 1: and I had a.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Little roll mic, you know, the little square roll mice. Right,
- 41:17Speaker 4: So she would come up to this durer COVID kind
- 41:19Speaker 4: of coming out of COVID. So she would come over
- 41:20Speaker 4: to the house or to the studio, and her segments
- 41:22Speaker 4: was only maybe like five to ten minutes long. We
- 41:25Speaker 4: would recording a little roll my baby, and I'll send
- 41:26Speaker 4: her little video and that's it. So I'm starting to
- 41:29Speaker 4: get curious. Now I'm like, hmmm, so is this a thing?
- 41:32Speaker 4: So that's where the questions came from. I'm like, I
- 41:34Speaker 4: wonder like if she had this problem with not necessarily
- 41:37Speaker 4: having like the camera or the things the pieces to
- 41:40Speaker 4: do what the Lord has told it do.
- 41:41Speaker 1: I wonder like, who else got this kind of problem.
- 41:44Speaker 1: It's just a thing, you know. So that's where the
- 41:46Speaker 1: questions came from, because I was just curious as to
- 41:48Speaker 1: what this thing is.
- 41:50Speaker 4: When you say, because I don't want you to take
- 41:51Speaker 4: them too fast right here because I feel the Holy
- 41:53Speaker 4: Spirit right here. So when you say the questions you're
- 41:58Speaker 4: talking about, you're referring to when you called me yes
- 42:01Speaker 4: and asked me questions. Why did you call me and
- 42:06Speaker 4: asked me questions? Because you were probably the one person
- 42:11Speaker 4: I knew that was I'm saying tangible like I knew
- 42:13Speaker 4: you that was doing I was doing the thing. Yea,
- 42:17Speaker 4: this goes back to the first point. Yeah, I didn't
- 42:21Speaker 4: make even though I didn't really know what I was doing.
- 42:23Speaker 1: I was putting in.
- 42:24Speaker 4: Effort, and my effort drew it attracted you to make.
- 42:30Speaker 4: I wonder if Justice is having this problem y'all.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Y'all I need y'all because I knew she was.
- 42:36Speaker 4: Because I knew she was, I just didn't know because
- 42:41Speaker 4: I had never done a podcast like that. I didn't
- 42:43Speaker 4: know the back end of it, like the episodes and
- 42:46Speaker 4: stuff like that. All I knew was take I got
- 42:47Speaker 4: a camera. And how I knew she was because she
- 42:50Speaker 4: sent me this little camera that she had bought from
- 42:51Speaker 4: the Facebook for like two dollars, kept cutting it, kept
- 42:58Speaker 4: doing all the things. I was like, hmmm, I wonder
- 43:00Speaker 4: if like this is actually a thing. So what the
- 43:04Speaker 4: Lord was telling me, which is so funny because that
- 43:07Speaker 4: was the thing because I'm a I like all the
- 43:09Speaker 4: tech stuff, like I'm buying all the things, you know,
- 43:12Speaker 4: and it's a thing too, right, So sometimes it's like, oh,
- 43:14Speaker 4: I can't do the thing because y'all have X, Y
- 43:16Speaker 4: and Z. When he was like, this ain't about this.
- 43:18Speaker 4: I want I need you to use this in your
- 43:19Speaker 4: hands and just get started, right, this gets started. So
- 43:22Speaker 4: I started with my At the time, we still had
- 43:24Speaker 4: the very first couple episodes were still using the mics, okay,
- 43:27Speaker 4: and my little camera.
- 43:29Speaker 1: Then we went from the road mics to the church to.
- 43:31Speaker 4: The church mice, and the church mice is what what
- 43:33Speaker 4: what held us on out up until we got into
- 43:36Speaker 4: b G TV studio.
- 43:37Speaker 1: So apparently this is a thing, right, this podcast, the mic,
- 43:41Speaker 1: the estadium, it's a thing.
- 43:45Speaker 2: That is a.
- 43:47Speaker 1: If it ain't a podcast, can't it gotta be the mic?
- 43:52Speaker 4: And I'm just like, bruh, please you and all. It's
- 43:57Speaker 4: a video with audio and lighting. Okay, that's what it is.
- 44:00Speaker 4: And that's literally what the Lord was just teaching me, like, hey, yeah,
- 44:04Speaker 4: I know it's a podcast. Yeah, but the truth of
- 44:07Speaker 4: the matter is the message is bigger than that. Yeah, Like,
- 44:09Speaker 4: the message is bigger as long as you can like audibly.
- 44:12Speaker 4: The truth of the matter is when it comes to videoing,
- 44:16Speaker 4: the audio, the camera and lighting are the main pieces
- 44:19Speaker 4: and the voice in the message.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Right.
- 44:20Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes you may not have the best quality camera.
- 44:23Speaker 4: But as long as your audio is good, whether it's
- 44:26Speaker 4: a role mic, whether it's a church mic, whether it's
- 44:28Speaker 4: a fancy like USB whatever that is, Like, as long
- 44:32Speaker 4: as they can hear the word, you know what I'm saying,
- 44:35Speaker 4: it can still get into their spirits.
- 44:36Speaker 1: So that was the thing that he had to teach me.
- 44:38Speaker 4: It's like, hey, start what you have, Yeah, and as
- 44:41Speaker 4: you go, as you go, as time permits, as the
- 44:45Speaker 4: resources come, as you begin to meet the people that
- 44:47Speaker 4: you need to meet, things will magically upgrade. We think
- 44:51Speaker 4: too much of ourselves. We really think too much of ourselves.
- 44:59Speaker 4: And when I say that this might make me a
- 45:01Speaker 4: better podcaster, that's because a better delivery of whatever it is.
- 45:05Speaker 4: Don't is it makes me smarter? Does it make me better?
- 45:08Speaker 4: Us being at bg TV.
- 45:09Speaker 1: We I'm very grateful. This is a nice mind. We
- 45:11Speaker 1: watched this some of the situation. It's nice if we.
- 45:15Speaker 4: I'm gonna say this, if we didn't manage well with
- 45:19Speaker 4: what we had in our hands, b gt we would
- 45:22Speaker 4: not appreciate a bg TV set up like we would
- 45:28Speaker 4: not appreciate it, We wouldn't value it. The way and
- 45:31Speaker 4: the way we show the value is how we There's
- 45:34Speaker 4: certain things I'd be wanting to say that I don't
- 45:37Speaker 4: say because we're connected to b GTV. The honor wouldn't
- 45:41Speaker 4: be there. You get what I'm saying, and also the
- 45:45Speaker 4: confidence doesn't be there. Shout out to bread and if
- 45:47Speaker 4: you're not following bgt Studios, I don't know what you're doing.
- 45:50Speaker 4: This is where you get your kingdom content like that's
- 45:52Speaker 4: this network supports the kingdom like real bad.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Like the goal is to have soul saved for God. Okay,
- 46:03Speaker 1: you're gonna get scripture, you're gonna get out.
- 46:05Speaker 4: You know it's it's we're about up to fifty podcast
- 46:08Speaker 4: now that's started with one two years ago. I'm just
- 46:13Speaker 4: saying it's all started with what he had he started
- 46:16Speaker 4: with in his basement.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Go back.
- 46:19Speaker 4: We're gonna have to pug that that episode so you
- 46:21Speaker 4: can understand who Brad Graydon is because he is him
- 46:25Speaker 4: and him.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Is he okay? That's so good. Start with you got
- 46:28Speaker 1: start with in your.
- 46:28Speaker 4: Hands, because God can't grow it. If you never plant
- 46:32Speaker 4: the seed, the seed don't get a chance to grow.
- 46:35Speaker 4: You worried about, Oh my gosh, I wonder if quit wondering.
- 46:39Speaker 4: You're doing the job of God and you're wondering. Why
- 46:42Speaker 4: you're frustrated is because God don't need you to wonder.
- 46:45Speaker 4: He needs you to implement what he told you. He
- 46:47Speaker 4: needs you to obey him. That's his love language.
- 46:50Speaker 1: And out of the love, when you give God love,
- 46:53Speaker 1: when you act on obedience, that show God that you
- 46:56Speaker 1: trust him.
- 46:57Speaker 4: That shows God that you honor him. That shows God
- 46:59Speaker 4: that he can trust you. Right, But you don't get
- 47:03Speaker 4: those things without producing out of what you already have.
- 47:06Speaker 4: God went and say, hey, Moses, go ahead and go
- 47:10Speaker 4: over there and and and deliver the Israelites out of
- 47:14Speaker 4: out of Egypt. Well, the Lord, I stutter, but I've
- 47:16Speaker 4: already given you language. I don't care how much you stutter.
- 47:18Speaker 4: I've already given you language, and I've given you experience.
- 47:22Speaker 4: I've given you an experience for what it looks like
- 47:25Speaker 4: to be delivered. So I need you gonna be a deliverer.
- 47:29Speaker 4: Hey David, I know you delivering.
- 47:31Speaker 1: Lunch at all. But that sling shot you normally use
- 47:35Speaker 1: in the in the back, in the backyard, I need
- 47:37Speaker 1: you to go defeat Goliath with that, with your sling shot,
- 47:40Speaker 1: with your sling shot and rocks.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Uh huh.
- 47:43Speaker 4: The thing that you already know how to use, it's
- 47:45Speaker 4: gonna work. And that's gonna bring evidence, and it's gonna
- 47:49Speaker 4: bring Watch this, it's gonna bring the tension of people
- 47:53Speaker 4: that you would have never thought would have gotten the
- 47:54Speaker 4: attention you think I would have. You think I thought
- 47:58Speaker 4: that Tabitha Brown would have chose us with a church.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Like's like I would have never thought.
- 48:07Speaker 4: And the light my girl used to do the lighting
- 48:09Speaker 4: and stuff. She used to have different colors and stuff
- 48:12Speaker 4: like it was it was tea.
- 48:13Speaker 1: It was tea. Go look at the go look at it.
- 48:16Speaker 1: But no, we have to get we have to use
- 48:19Speaker 1: be intentional about using what's in our hands.
- 48:21Speaker 4: And I was gonna say this too, this is and
- 48:23Speaker 4: this is evidence of this, and she said and she
- 48:25Speaker 4: said this, she said, the reason why she chose Jessica
- 48:29Speaker 4: was there and it was.
- 48:31Speaker 1: A lot of people that was being tagged that was
- 48:32Speaker 1: probably had more followers. You know, it was all those things.
- 48:36Speaker 4: But she said, I saw the number follows that she had,
- 48:40Speaker 4: and then I saw the consistency that she was still
- 48:43Speaker 4: showing up for. Right, So it's a it's it's it
- 48:46Speaker 4: goes back to what's in your hands. But also, and
- 48:50Speaker 4: almost like a heart partiure thing like why are you
- 48:52Speaker 4: not showing up or doing the thing because the audience
- 48:55Speaker 4: is not where you feel like the audience should be. Like,
- 48:58Speaker 4: but those those five people matter too, and that's what
- 49:01Speaker 4: the Lord is looking at him. How are you stewarding
- 49:03Speaker 4: what he's already giving you? You know what I'm saying,
- 49:05Speaker 4: how are you stewarding the five? Because if I can
- 49:08Speaker 4: trust you the steward the five well as if it
- 49:10Speaker 4: was fifty thousand, then when the fifty thousand come, you know,
- 49:14Speaker 4: then the stewardship level is already there.
- 49:17Speaker 1: That's so good, you know what I'm saying. Okay, no,
- 49:19Speaker 1: that's so good. That's so good. The last thing we
- 49:23Speaker 1: as builders make the mistake on is managing our assignment
- 49:28Speaker 1: like a forever fiante. Do explain, Jessica.
- 49:32Speaker 4: So when I'm gonna talk from a woman's perspective, one
- 49:35Speaker 4: thing you're not gonna do at my big age. The
- 49:40Speaker 4: women of thirty plus is not having it. In the twenties,
- 49:43Speaker 4: you might have caught it, but thirty plus women, y'all, y'all,
- 49:46Speaker 4: y'all talk, y'all talk back to me, y'all talk back
- 49:48Speaker 4: to me, like I know what I'm talking about. You're
- 49:50Speaker 4: not finna catch me being a fiance for eight years.
- 49:54Speaker 4: You're not finna catch me at you di done done
- 49:57Speaker 4: all this elaborate, elaborate stuff to get me to commit
- 50:03Speaker 4: to you that I would marry you. You get your
- 50:10Speaker 4: your You're I'm good enough to put a ring on it,
- 50:13Speaker 4: like to be like, Okay, well, I'm I'm waiting for
- 50:15Speaker 4: the full commitment right. It's it's almost like the gap
- 50:21Speaker 4: between dating and officially making it permanent, like the covenant,
- 50:29Speaker 4: thank your experience, the covenant that's required for two to
- 50:33Speaker 4: be one.
- 50:34Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 50:35Speaker 4: I'm not waiting eight years after you propose to me.
- 50:39Speaker 4: You okay, So I'm not no sneaking link. People know
- 50:42Speaker 4: about me. I know your family members. I might be
- 50:46Speaker 4: even on your social media page at this point. You
- 50:48Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. You took a picture of my
- 50:50Speaker 4: ring or whatever you tell you tell your folks about me,
- 50:54Speaker 4: but you're still waiting to marry me like a commit
- 50:58Speaker 4: You're still waiting for the full commitment. And so that's
- 51:02Speaker 4: how some of us are treating his assignment. You're not
- 51:05Speaker 4: fully committed to what the Lord has told you to do.
- 51:09Speaker 4: You're not fully commit committed to this building process. You're
- 51:12Speaker 4: not fully committed because you haven't married the idea. I've
- 51:17Speaker 4: married the idea of just ask. I've married the idea
- 51:21Speaker 4: of of the safe space. I've married the idea of
- 51:25Speaker 4: partnership with Desil Raight, Dan Yell. I've married the idea
- 51:29Speaker 4: of ministry work. I've married the idea of doing the
- 51:32Speaker 4: will of the Lord. I've married the idea of my
- 51:34Speaker 4: relationship with God. I am committed, and the evidence of
- 51:39Speaker 4: my commitment is louder. It speaks for me more than
- 51:43Speaker 4: I have a new coach and he says, I they
- 51:49Speaker 4: did some restruction by reconstruction of how he's doing some
- 51:53Speaker 4: stuff or whatever.
- 51:54Speaker 1: And he's let a lot of people go. And I'm new.
- 51:57Speaker 4: I'm new, he says, But you made the cook told
- 52:00Speaker 4: me say you made the cut because I see your dedication,
- 52:04Speaker 4: the commitment. It's commitment. Nobody wants to deal with anybody
- 52:09Speaker 4: that's not committment. Nobody wants to subscribe to your channel.
- 52:13Speaker 4: If you're not committed, no one wants to support your business.
- 52:16Speaker 4: If you're not committed, you can If you can't commit
- 52:19Speaker 4: to it, why should I invest in it? I can't
- 52:21Speaker 4: do We can't do that. So when people the fact
- 52:25Speaker 4: that I was committed it, Drew does a raid to say,
- 52:29Speaker 4: you know what, let me help this girl out because
- 52:31Speaker 4: she trying. She's really trying, and I see her trying
- 52:37Speaker 4: with what she has. Y'all all of this works together.
- 52:40Speaker 4: Come on, I see her trying with what she has.
- 52:42Speaker 4: She's taking this idea from an idea to execution. She
- 52:47Speaker 4: she's asking obviously I asked her. I forgot I asked
- 52:50Speaker 4: you about that. She's asking me about this camera, and
- 52:53Speaker 4: it's just one detail of what she's doing. She's asking
- 52:56Speaker 4: me about how to use and do better and why
- 52:58Speaker 4: certain things are happening. Let me collaborate her, Let me
- 53:02Speaker 4: partner with her and do this, because I see she
- 53:05Speaker 4: is fully persuaded.
- 53:06Speaker 1: Come on, can you look up that scripture?
- 53:09Speaker 4: She is fully persuaded on what she has right in
- 53:15Speaker 4: front of her. She's fully persuaded of her assignment. She's
- 53:19Speaker 4: fully persuaded of her yes to God, She's fully committed
- 53:23Speaker 4: to what she got going on. And the mistake that
- 53:26Speaker 4: we made is that we say, you know what, I'm
- 53:28Speaker 4: gonna front this. I'm gonna say, oh yeah, I'm gonna
- 53:30Speaker 4: do this. I got I'm writing a book. How long
- 53:33Speaker 4: you've been writing that book? I'm talking about me. I'm
- 53:35Speaker 4: talking about how long you been writing that book? How
- 53:38Speaker 4: long have you been sitting there like, Oh yeah, I'm
- 53:39Speaker 4: about to be off, I'm about to be. I'm about
- 53:41Speaker 4: to be married. That's what a fiessa is. I'm about
- 53:45Speaker 4: to be married. We gotta get out of this. I'm
- 53:48Speaker 4: about to be seasoned. Jesus, I'm about to be. It's
- 53:53Speaker 4: not good enough anymore. It's not especially when you know
- 53:58Speaker 4: you're sitting on the thing that God has told you
- 54:02Speaker 4: to do, the thing that God has ordained and purposed
- 54:05Speaker 4: you for.
- 54:05Speaker 1: I'm about to be is not good enough anymore. For
- 54:10Speaker 1: one season, it might have been cute, but this is
- 54:13Speaker 1: not cute.
- 54:15Speaker 4: Execution is the only way that you're going to get
- 54:18Speaker 4: to where you wanna be, and in those that might
- 54:21Speaker 4: look different in different seasons, but you need to be
- 54:23Speaker 4: doing something have to.
- 54:26Speaker 1: Can you read the scripture? Let me find your uh
- 54:28Speaker 1: CS your cs CSP I'm screaming. It is a Romans
- 54:38Speaker 1: for In twenty one.
- 54:42Speaker 4: Because he was fully convinced that what God had promised
- 54:45Speaker 4: he was able. He was also able to do.
- 54:50Speaker 2: Hold on.
- 54:50Speaker 1: Let me see this hold on real quick.
- 54:55Speaker 4: Twenty says he did not waver in unbelief at God's promise,
- 54:59Speaker 4: but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to
- 55:03Speaker 4: God because he was fully convinced that what God had
- 55:07Speaker 4: promised he was able to do.
- 55:08Speaker 1: Go to Romans eight thirty eight through thirty nine thirty
- 55:14Speaker 1: eight and go to King James KIDJV. Go to King's
- 55:21Speaker 1: James because I want you to. I want you to
- 55:23Speaker 1: get this eight thirty eight and thirty nine.
- 55:28Speaker 4: Romans eight thirty thirty nine. The KJV says, for I
- 55:31Speaker 4: am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
- 55:35Speaker 4: nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
- 55:39Speaker 4: height nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able
- 55:42Speaker 4: to separate us from the love of God, which is
- 55:44Speaker 4: in Christ Jesus our Lord in this passage. And I'm
- 55:51Speaker 4: pretty sure Paul wrote this. Yeah, Paul, wrote this. In
- 55:55Speaker 4: this passage, Paul is trying to convince to display that
- 56:02Speaker 4: he is convinced that nothing will keep him from the
- 56:08Speaker 4: love of God. What I hear the Lord saying, even
- 56:11Speaker 4: in this, you have to be so convinced of what
- 56:15Speaker 4: the Lord told you to do that you move like it.
- 56:19Speaker 4: Paul was somebody that was persecuted, that was lied on,
- 56:24Speaker 4: that was put in jail.
- 56:25Speaker 1: That he had every reason to be frustrated with his assignment.
- 56:29Speaker 1: Oh Hallelujah Jesus.
- 56:31Speaker 4: He had every reason to be frustrated with the Lord,
- 56:35Speaker 4: with the Lord ordain him to do. But because he
- 56:39Speaker 4: was fully persuaded of the love of God, he kept moving.
- 56:44Speaker 4: Maybe you're persuading on the wrong thing. Maybe we just
- 56:47Speaker 4: need to be persuaded that God loves us so much
- 56:49Speaker 4: that he will keep us through our assignment, that he
- 56:52Speaker 4: would not make us look like fools out here, that
- 56:55Speaker 4: he would not And what I say, fools, we might
- 56:58Speaker 4: be foolish. What is what is Mike Todd say? Pastor
- 57:02Speaker 4: Mike Todd? He said, it's only crazy until it happen
- 57:05Speaker 4: that man. I was just talking about Mike Todd last night.
- 57:09Speaker 4: He got famous off doing what he was what he
- 57:12Speaker 4: was what he was committed to doing, was serving the Lord.
- 57:15Speaker 4: If you really think about it, Relationship Goes was the
- 57:19Speaker 4: the sermon that took him to another height. You go
- 57:23Speaker 4: from relationship and this is just the one spec of
- 57:26Speaker 4: his life. You go to relationship goals the sermon, then
- 57:30Speaker 4: you go to relationship Goes the book, and now you
- 57:36Speaker 4: got relationship goals the movie. In that span you see
- 57:41Speaker 4: him grow and his the ministry grow because he obeyed God,
- 57:45Speaker 4: because he was fully persuaded.
- 57:48Speaker 1: We can have our opinion about the man of God.
- 57:50Speaker 1: We can say we don't like some of the stuff
- 57:52Speaker 1: he do. That don't matter.
- 57:53Speaker 4: What matters is that he his full persuasion of what
- 57:58Speaker 4: the Lord ordained him to do is evident.
- 58:02Speaker 1: Can you say that for you?
- 58:05Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's it's I could be cute here,
- 58:08Speaker 4: but I really want to go to the west side
- 58:10Speaker 4: of Birmingham right now outside. Do you have evidence that
- 58:14Speaker 4: you are fully persuaded and wait at the love of
- 58:17Speaker 4: God so much so that you will be you will
- 58:20Speaker 4: be willing to avoid these mistakes. As as a builder,
- 58:25Speaker 4: we gotta we gotta get in in community with the
- 58:29Speaker 4: love of God. We gotta get in the relationship with
- 58:32Speaker 4: the love of God. We got to be fully persuaded.
- 58:35Speaker 4: So for Paul to write these words and live the
- 58:38Speaker 4: life that he lives and be accused and abused the
- 58:42Speaker 4: way that he was, that was his thing that he
- 58:45Speaker 4: held on to. And so we in this, in this teaching,
- 58:50Speaker 4: and this, in this this discovery with be fully persuaded.
- 58:57Speaker 4: Be fully persuaded. And when you're fully persuaded, it starts
- 59:02Speaker 4: oozing out of you. You can't contain something when you're full,
- 59:06Speaker 4: that fullness leads to overflow, Thank you, Holy Spirit. Fullness
- 59:10Speaker 4: is what leads to overflow. And when you're not, when
- 59:14Speaker 4: you're not full of something, it's hard to fake the funk.
- 59:19Speaker 4: That's why actors go so hard and roles they play,
- 59:22Speaker 4: they become full of what they're portraying. Come on, think
- 59:26Speaker 4: about the Grinch from this Christmas. He was fully persuaded
- 59:30Speaker 4: that he was the Grinch. That's why he acted that way.
- 59:34Speaker 4: So you can't even you you're not able to have
- 59:38Speaker 4: But this season, that is not gonna work. I want
- 59:43Speaker 4: to I want you all to understand. It's not gonna
- 59:45Speaker 4: work with half intentionality, no intentionality. It's only gonna work
- 59:51Speaker 4: being fully persuaded, which leads to intentionality of.
- 59:55Speaker 1: What God has told you to do.
- 59:57Speaker 4: And so today, if this resonated with you, not only
- 1:00:02Speaker 4: do I want you to comment below, not only do
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: I want to invite you to the safe space, but
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: I also want you to share this with somebody that
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: you know that is struggling with building. We're struggling with
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: the idea of being fully persuaded of the of the
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: permission God has given them for their assignment to execute,
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: to fully commit to the thing that that that that
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: the Lord has trusted them with, that had that He
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: has designed them for. Please shut this out, all right,
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: and so until next time. Until next week, I hope
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: you guys enjoyed this. Remember life could be much more simple.
