0:00
SPEAKER_01: 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.
0:09
SPEAKER_01: I am your host, Dr.
0:10
SPEAKER_01: Una, and I'll be unpacking the secrets I have learned from the Word of God over the last two decades.
0:15
SPEAKER_01: Let's dive in.
0:17
SPEAKER_01: Today I am going to show you how to get from fear to boldness in seven days.
0:27
SPEAKER_01: This is so important because I pulled this up.
0:30
SPEAKER_01: It was very fascinating for me to read this.
0:32
SPEAKER_01: A pastor here um polled 2,400 churchgoers.
0:39
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
0:39
SPEAKER_01: 2,400.
0:40
SPEAKER_01: I want you to think about this.
0:41
SPEAKER_01: 2,400 churchgoers.
0:43
SPEAKER_01: And they did research, they did a poll, and found that eight to eight out of every 10 were dealing with moderate to significant fear.
0:55
SPEAKER_01: Eight out of 10.
0:56
SPEAKER_01: That's 80% of believers who go to the household of faith, who are called to live lives of faith, were dealing with moderate to significant fear.
1:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:07
SPEAKER_01: Now, the baby boomers were primarily afraid, you know, their fear was around finances.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: So will they have enough to retire on?
1:16
SPEAKER_01: Health concerns, death of a loved one.
1:19
SPEAKER_01: Then those who were under 35, their primary fears were fear of failure, fear of disappointing someone or being rejected, and fear of living meaningless lives.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: Look at all this fear, right?
1:35
SPEAKER_01: And it's very fascinating because God, on the other hand, is like fear not, fear not, fear not.
1:42
SPEAKER_01: Now, some version of fear not shows up in the Bible, and if you look at the King James Version, over a hundred times.
1:51
SPEAKER_01: Apparently, in the midst of all these things, in the midst of the chaos, in the midst of the things going on in the world, God's plan is for us to live without fear, to live in faith, to live with boldness, to live with all of that, right?
2:06
SPEAKER_01: So over a hundred times he says, fear not.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: Fear not, fear not.
2:10
SPEAKER_01: And so is he saying the issues don't exist, they exist.
2:13
SPEAKER_01: But it's saying fear not.
2:14
SPEAKER_01: So how?
2:15
SPEAKER_01: And let me tell you what I'm not going to do today.
2:17
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to patronize you and just say have more faith.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to say pray more.
2:22
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to say that.
2:23
SPEAKER_01: I am going to show you from the word of God what God showed people from the word of God so that we can live lives above fear.
2:31
SPEAKER_01: We're going to own this.
2:32
SPEAKER_01: We are not, we the what we are not going to do is to live lives that are controlled by fear.
2:38
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
2:39
SPEAKER_01: Fear is Satan's tool.
2:41
SPEAKER_01: You constantly hear God talking about faith.
2:43
SPEAKER_01: You constantly see where Jesus, somebody will come and tell Jesus something, he'll say, Fear not, fear not.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: Why did you fear?
2:49
SPEAKER_01: Why are you afraid?
2:49
SPEAKER_01: Don't fear, don't fear.
2:51
SPEAKER_01: God's plan is for you to live above fear.
2:54
SPEAKER_01: God's plan is for me to live above fear.
2:57
SPEAKER_01: And we are going to go from fearful in in some areas to bold, bold, bold, like in seven days.
3:05
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
3:05
SPEAKER_01: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
3:07
SPEAKER_01: By the time I see you next week, you'll be like, Dr.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: Una, you will not believe what happened.
3:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay, because in God's plan, God's plan is no fear.
3:17
SPEAKER_01: It is always no fear.
3:18
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so let's look at let's look into some of these things.
3:20
SPEAKER_01: Now, I want to start by setting the stage here because there are many people who came up with things they should be afraid of.
3:28
SPEAKER_01: And those of you who are afraid of public speaking, like I'm your I'm your girl.
3:34
SPEAKER_01: I am evidence that you can overcome that.
3:36
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
3:36
SPEAKER_01: I am evidence because I will tell you the story of me in public speaking someday, but I'm evidence.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
3:42
SPEAKER_01: So people have come up with things that have, you know, like things that should provoke fear.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: And God has told them to overcome the fear.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna read something.
3:53
SPEAKER_01: It's a story you're familiar with, but I know in success by the book, we are savvy enough to know we can never exhaust the word of God.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: So we never hear the word of God and go, I heard that before, okay?
4:03
SPEAKER_01: But I want you to listen to this, and I want you to listen to this from the lens of the fear that you describe, because you're not just hearing this randomly, you're hearing this about a specific fear that you are going to overcome.
4:16
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
4:17
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so this is what happened here, okay?
4:20
SPEAKER_01: After the death of Moses, so this is Joshua chapter one.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: I'm reading from the New King James version.
4:25
SPEAKER_01: After the death of Moses, the servant of God, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' assistant.
4:31
SPEAKER_01: Now let's define who these two people are.
4:33
SPEAKER_01: Moses was the person who was the deliverer of the Israelites.
4:36
SPEAKER_01: Moses was the person who was responsible for getting three million, three million Israelites out of Egypt.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: Okay, they hadn't quite made it to the promised land, but they were in the wilderness on their way to the promised land.
4:46
SPEAKER_01: This is somebody who ended bondage that had been for 430 years.
4:51
SPEAKER_01: Like these people had been in bondage for 430 years, and Moses came and got them out.
4:56
SPEAKER_01: Moses was the one who conducted the ten plagues, like he caused it to be dark, like so dark that people could feel the darkness.
5:04
SPEAKER_01: He's the people that he's the person that threw up sand and they turned into insects.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: He's the person that made all the water in Egypt become blood.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: He was a mighty man.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: Moses was his servant.
5:14
SPEAKER_01: Moses was his assistant.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
5:17
SPEAKER_01: Now, Moses in all these things was not able to get them into the promised land.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: So he, you know, he did what he did, and God was like, okay, because of this, you're not getting, you didn't honor me in front of the people, so you are not getting to the promised land.
5:28
SPEAKER_01: So he so he doesn't fully complete his assignment.
5:31
SPEAKER_01: He he his, I mean, like what he did was mind-boggling, but he didn't fully complete it.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
5:37
SPEAKER_01: So then God says, Moses, my servant, is dead.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: He says, Moses, my servant is dead.
5:42
SPEAKER_01: Verse 2.
5:42
SPEAKER_01: Now, therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all these people to the land which I'm giving to them, the children of Israel.
5:51
SPEAKER_01: Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, I have given you as I gave Moses.
5:55
SPEAKER_01: Joshua is not a military man, Joshua is somebody who had been a slave.
5:59
SPEAKER_01: He had been a slave, his father was a slave, his grandfather was a slave, his great grandfather was a slave.
6:03
SPEAKER_01: How do we know that they were in bondage for 430 years?
6:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so he came from a lineage of slaves, and now God is telling him, You see that land over there that's full of giants and all of that stuff?
6:14
SPEAKER_01: I want you to take these people and go take that land.
6:16
SPEAKER_01: This would have made him afraid.
6:18
SPEAKER_01: Just like some of the promises, God is telling you about the kind of family you can have.
6:21
SPEAKER_01: God is telling that I'm the one that gave you power to get wealth.
6:24
SPEAKER_01: God is the person who told you with long life how satisfied.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: He says all these things, and you're like, Lord, how?
6:29
SPEAKER_01: Like, have you seen what is happening around me?
6:30
SPEAKER_01: Why are you saying this to me?
6:33
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so he then goes on in verse 4, starts giving him the boundaries from the wilderness of Lebanon and all of that stuff.
6:40
SPEAKER_01: And then he says in verse 5, No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life, as I was with Moses.
6:45
SPEAKER_01: So I'll be with you, I will not leave you, I'll not forsake you.
6:48
SPEAKER_01: If I was Moses, I'm if I was Joshua, I was going like Lord, you need to talk to Caleb or somebody, you need to resurrect Moses.
6:55
SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay.
6:56
SPEAKER_01: Now, in verse 6, he then tells him what I want you to hear for yourself.
7:00
SPEAKER_01: When you read the word of God and you see what the word of God says to you, I want you to hear these words for yourself.
7:05
SPEAKER_01: He says, Be strong.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: He tells Joshua, be strong and of a good courage.
7:10
SPEAKER_01: For to these people you will divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7:15
SPEAKER_01: Be strong, be courageous.
7:16
SPEAKER_01: You're the man for the job, you're gonna do this.
7:18
SPEAKER_01: And and Joshua is going, like, what in the world?
7:20
SPEAKER_01: I mean, if I was Joshua, that's what I'll be doing.
7:22
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
7:23
SPEAKER_01: Now, only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses, my servant, commanded you.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: Don't turn to the left or the right, that you may prosper wherever you go.
7:36
SPEAKER_01: I want you to think about that.
7:37
SPEAKER_01: So he was telling him, be strong, be courageous, be strong.
7:40
SPEAKER_01: Why was he telling him be strong and courageous?
7:43
SPEAKER_01: Because of fear.
7:44
SPEAKER_01: He's because you can be fearful or you can be courageous.
7:47
SPEAKER_01: You could be fearful or you could be courageous.
7:49
SPEAKER_01: You could be, and he's like, Guy, be strong and courageous.
7:53
SPEAKER_01: Be strong and courageous.
7:54
SPEAKER_01: Then he said in verse 8, he then stops to give him a strategy, and that is our strategy, too.
8:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay, he says, This book of the law for us is the Bible.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: They had the five books of Moses.
8:09
SPEAKER_01: We have the Bible.
8:10
SPEAKER_01: This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: So if you are going to be a Christian who is strong and courageous, the word will not depart from your mouth.
8:21
SPEAKER_01: If you're going to be a Christian who is strong and courageous, the word of God cannot depart from your mouth.
8:27
SPEAKER_01: You must be a speaking Christian, you must be a speaking Christian, you must constantly be speaking the word.
8:32
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
8:33
SPEAKER_01: This book of the law shall not depart in your mouth, but you shall meditate in a day and night.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: If you are going to be a strong and courageous Christian who's going to take territory, you are going to be a Christian who is declaring the word of God.
8:45
SPEAKER_01: You're meditating in the word, not on Sunday, not on 6 a.m.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: at 6 a.m.
8:50
SPEAKER_01: when you come to a rise and shine only, you meditate on it day and night.
8:53
SPEAKER_01: This is something that you do.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: The word of God is with you.
8:56
SPEAKER_01: The word of God is a constant companion, the word of God constantly coming out of your mouth.
9:00
SPEAKER_01: The word of God, your imagination.
9:01
SPEAKER_01: The word of God is conversations you're having.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: The word of God.
9:05
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so the word of God is something you in like you immerse yourself in.
9:09
SPEAKER_01: It's not a once-in-a-while thing.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so now he says, This book of the law shall not depart in your mouth.
9:17
SPEAKER_01: You'll meditate in it day and night.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: Why?
9:19
SPEAKER_01: So you can observe to do all that is written there.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: So the idea, the interaction with the word is so we can download action steps and obey the word.
9:28
SPEAKER_01: We interact with the word a lot so we can obey the word.
9:31
SPEAKER_01: We interact to obey.
9:32
SPEAKER_01: We interact to obey.
9:33
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
9:34
SPEAKER_01: So if you're a Christian that is not an obedient Christian, you're not going to be strong and courageous.
9:38
SPEAKER_01: You're just going to take the territory that God called you to take.
9:41
SPEAKER_01: So I say the word out of my mouth.
9:43
SPEAKER_01: I'm meditating on the word of God and I'm doing what the word of God says.
9:47
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
9:48
SPEAKER_01: So it says, if you do this, for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: So Moses is dead.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: This is this big assignment.
10:00
SPEAKER_01: Go do the assignment, be strong and courageous.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: Now, you want to be strong and courageous, this is what you do.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you meditate in it day and night, that you observe to do all that is written in it, and then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will get success.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: This is what God told him.
10:17
SPEAKER_01: He says, You're gonna meditate in the word, you're gonna keep it on your mouth, you're gonna do this day and night, so you can observe to do what is written in it, and as you do what is written in it, you will make your own way prosperous and you will have good success.
10:31
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
10:32
SPEAKER_01: So we are people who interact with the word.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: We are people who say the word, we are people who meditate in the word, we visualize the word, we speak the word, we declare the word, we do all of that stuff, we obey the word, and this is how we make our way prosperous, and this is how we have good success.
10:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
10:47
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so be strong and courageous.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: What is a strategy for it?
10:53
SPEAKER_01: A solid strategy is meditation.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
10:57
SPEAKER_01: Now, the Bible talks about God's word being God's medicine, and if God's word is God's medicine, I'm a physician, we don't give every medicine for every condition.
11:07
SPEAKER_01: If someone has an ear infection, very different from what we would give for a ringworm, which is very different from what we will give for a GI bug, which is very different from what we will give for eczema.
11:17
SPEAKER_01: Like we give different medications for different things.
11:20
SPEAKER_01: So over the next seven days, we are going to take some of God's medication for fear.
11:27
SPEAKER_01: And so that at the end, at the end of this seven-day block, we recognize fear for what it is.
11:35
SPEAKER_01: We no longer let it stop us.
11:37
SPEAKER_01: We are bold as a lion because that is the way we are called to be.
11:41
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
11:42
SPEAKER_01: All right.
11:43
SPEAKER_01: So we're going to look at four scriptures that are the antidote, the medication we're going to take according to the prescription.
11:54
SPEAKER_01: The prescription says day and night.
11:55
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so we're gonna take these medications according to the scriptures.
11:59
SPEAKER_01: Now, I if you heard me, I've said this multiple times that we're gonna stop the fear from stopping us.
12:05
SPEAKER_01: So fear doesn't go away, right?
12:09
SPEAKER_01: Because it's not ours.
12:11
SPEAKER_01: It's you know, like Satan has that to give.
12:13
SPEAKER_01: Like, you want some fear?
12:14
SPEAKER_01: You want some fear?
12:15
SPEAKER_01: Like so, so we just stop it from stopping us, right?
12:19
SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna have invitations to fear, same way we have invitations to sin, same way we have invitation for everything, and we just decide, yeah, we're not gonna do that.
12:28
SPEAKER_01: God invited us to be strong and courageous.
12:30
SPEAKER_01: That's what we're gonna do.
12:30
SPEAKER_01: That's that's what we chose, okay?
12:32
SPEAKER_01: Okay, now, real, really quickly, so we remember what do we do when we meditate?
12:38
SPEAKER_01: We pray and ask God for understanding.
12:41
SPEAKER_01: We read the scripture, we write the scripture.
12:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, and when we read, we're reading for understanding.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: We may read from different translations, we may read and you know, look up diction definitions in the dictionary.
12:53
SPEAKER_01: We say the scripture out of our mouths, we visualize the scripture as if it were a current reality.
12:59
SPEAKER_01: We download the action steps.
13:01
SPEAKER_01: Like, what is the action in here?
13:03
SPEAKER_01: What is my part to play?
13:04
SPEAKER_01: How does this apply in my life?
13:06
SPEAKER_01: And then we take that to go take action because the purpose of meditation is scripture-based action.
13:12
SPEAKER_01: So will it change your mind?
13:14
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
13:14
SPEAKER_01: Will it do all of that?
13:15
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
13:15
SPEAKER_01: But at the end of the day, you have to observe to do the purpose of scripture, of meditation is scripture-based action.
13:23
SPEAKER_01: Okay, all right.
13:25
SPEAKER_01: So we do all of these things and then we end it with acting.
13:28
SPEAKER_01: That's how we make our way prosperous, that's how we have good success.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: That's how we're going to get rid of it, that's how we're gonna stop fear from stopping us.
13:34
SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay, so what we're gonna talk about, we are gonna do this every day for seven days.
13:39
SPEAKER_01: And at the end of the day, I am going to show you how easy it's going to be to implement it.
13:44
SPEAKER_01: This is gonna be so powerful.
13:45
SPEAKER_01: So let's look at the four medications we are going to take to go from fear to boldness.
13:52
SPEAKER_01: Bold like a lion.
13:54
SPEAKER_01: Okay, first one, I'm gonna read this from a different translation.
13:59
SPEAKER_01: So this is Isaiah chapter 41.
14:04
SPEAKER_01: Okay, Isaiah chapter 41, and I'm going to read verse 10.
14:09
SPEAKER_01: And we're gonna start with prayer, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, we thank you for this opportunity to look into your word.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: Nobody can understand your word without you, Lord.
14:21
SPEAKER_01: I pray that you open our eyes, you give us deep understanding of your word.
14:28
SPEAKER_01: Deep understanding of your word, so that from this moment we keep identifying and overcoming fear, so that at the end of these seven days, we will be people who are bold and courageous and strong, who stand in faith, who have conviction on your word.
14:47
SPEAKER_01: And from this moment, fear no longer stops us because we can identify it and we can stop it in our tracks because of what we learn from your word.
14:57
SPEAKER_01: In Jesus' name, amen.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: Okay, first scripture, Isaiah chapter 41, verse 10.
15:03
SPEAKER_01: Pay attention to this.
15:04
SPEAKER_01: What does it say in the New Living Translation?
15:07
SPEAKER_01: It says, Don't be afraid.
15:11
SPEAKER_01: You gotta tell me if you think this is a suggestion or if God just said what he said, right?
15:17
SPEAKER_01: Does it sound like you know, it'll be really nice if you don't fear?
15:20
SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, he says, don't be afraid.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: And that means we choose, like we are going to live above fear, like we're going to live above fear.
15:31
SPEAKER_01: This thing of, oh, you know, everybody is afraid and everybody needs to be afraid.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: We don't need to be afraid.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: We're kingdom people, we obey God, we're obedient Christians.
15:39
SPEAKER_01: He said, Don't be afraid.
15:43
SPEAKER_01: Then he says, for, which another word for for there's because, because I am with you.
15:52
SPEAKER_01: I am with you, so there's no reason to be afraid.
15:55
SPEAKER_01: And you have to understand, he was talking to Old Testament people.
15:58
SPEAKER_01: Old Testament people didn't have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us, inside of them, they didn't have the blood of Jesus shed for them, they didn't have the name of Jesus, they didn't have all of these things.
16:07
SPEAKER_01: Now we don't have just God with us, we have God in us, and he said, Don't be afraid, I'm with you.
16:14
SPEAKER_01: Don't like, have you been like if you're a parent here, have you told your child, like you're like, Why are you afraid?
16:21
SPEAKER_01: I'm here, mommy's here, daddy's here.
16:22
SPEAKER_01: Like, don't be afraid, I'm here, right?
16:25
SPEAKER_01: And and in that situation, they have nothing to be afraid of because if it's something that is too big for them, you're there to handle it.
16:31
SPEAKER_01: If somebody tries to come bully them, you're there to handle it.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: If there's something they need, you're there to handle it.
16:37
SPEAKER_01: If they need comfort, you're there to give it.
16:39
SPEAKER_01: Like, mommy's here, there's no reason to be afraid.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: Daddy's here, so there's no reason to be afraid.
16:46
SPEAKER_01: If our earthly parents can do that, how much more God?
16:49
SPEAKER_01: God is saying, do that, dude.
16:51
SPEAKER_01: Don't be afraid.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: I am here.
16:54
SPEAKER_01: I am with you.
16:56
SPEAKER_01: I am with you.
16:57
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so it says, Don't be afraid, I am with you.
17:00
SPEAKER_01: Then he says, Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: Okay, first of all, if he said don't be afraid, it means that you will have multiple invitations to be afraid.
17:15
SPEAKER_01: Do you guys understand that?
17:16
SPEAKER_01: If there was no temptation to be afraid, God will not say don't be afraid.
17:20
SPEAKER_01: He said, Don't be afraid, because there are many things that will happen that will try to get you to be afraid.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: Now, when you but but but what that means is when you when the opportunity to be afraid comes, it's not mandatory.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: You must not be afraid.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: It means there's an option to be afraid, there's an option not to be afraid.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: And God is like, when you come to this place where something scary happens or something looks like it's scary, you have two options.
17:43
SPEAKER_01: You can be afraid or you cannot be afraid.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: I your God, I your father, I'm counseling you, don't be afraid.
17:50
SPEAKER_01: So I must not be afraid.
17:52
SPEAKER_01: I you you know, like I was a worry word.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: So as a responsible adult, I'm like, you should be afraid of this.
17:57
SPEAKER_01: Like, I should be afraid of this.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: No, God's like, don't be afraid.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: Why shouldn't I be afraid?
18:02
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm with you.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
18:05
SPEAKER_01: Then he says, Don't be discouraged.
18:08
SPEAKER_01: I am your God.
18:10
SPEAKER_01: So why is he saying don't be discouraged?
18:13
SPEAKER_01: Because discouraging things will happen.
18:16
SPEAKER_01: We've been alive long enough to know that here and there, discouraging things happen.
18:21
SPEAKER_01: Okay, in fact, let me give you the definition of the word discouraged.
18:24
SPEAKER_01: It means having lost confidence, hope, or enthusiasm, often because of a lack of progress, negative feedback, and criticism.
18:33
SPEAKER_01: So when you have a lack of progress, negative feedback, and criticism, what does God tell you in that moment?
18:38
SPEAKER_01: Don't be discouraged.
18:39
SPEAKER_01: Why?
18:39
SPEAKER_01: I am your God.
18:41
SPEAKER_01: Hello.
18:42
SPEAKER_01: Don't be afraid, don't be discouraged.
18:45
SPEAKER_01: To start with, my being afraid and my discouragement is unnecessary as a Christian, as someone who has God with her.
18:52
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so let's keep going.
18:55
SPEAKER_01: Now, he then says, he goes on, he doesn't stop there.
18:59
SPEAKER_01: He says, I will strengthen you.
19:02
SPEAKER_01: If you don't have enough strength, guess what?
19:04
SPEAKER_01: It's not a problem.
19:05
SPEAKER_01: Why?
19:06
SPEAKER_01: He said he'll strengthen you.
19:08
SPEAKER_01: You don't have enough, and we can extrapolate that.
19:10
SPEAKER_01: You don't have enough wisdom, it's not a problem.
19:12
SPEAKER_01: Why?
19:13
SPEAKER_01: He said, if you don't have wisdom, he said this in James chapter 1, verse 5.
19:16
SPEAKER_01: He said, if you don't have wisdom, he that doesn't have wisdom should ask me and I'll give him.
19:20
SPEAKER_01: Don't have enough wisdom to handle the problem, not a problem.
19:22
SPEAKER_01: Don't have enough strength to handle the problem, not a problem.
19:25
SPEAKER_01: He said, I will help you.
19:27
SPEAKER_01: I will strengthen you.
19:29
SPEAKER_01: I will strengthen you.
19:30
SPEAKER_01: I will strengthen you.
19:31
SPEAKER_01: Like it's okay.
19:32
SPEAKER_01: You don't have enough connections, he will connect you.
19:36
SPEAKER_01: I'm not the kind of person who can speak on stage.
19:39
SPEAKER_01: He will he will strengthen you for that.
19:42
SPEAKER_01: Right?
19:43
SPEAKER_01: I don't have enough strength to fulfill my assignment.
19:46
SPEAKER_01: He will strengthen you.
19:48
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
19:49
SPEAKER_01: He said, I will strengthen you, pay attention and help you.
19:53
SPEAKER_01: Now, this is like this is a hack of hacks.
19:56
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
19:57
SPEAKER_01: So I let's say I was afraid because I had this big project and I'm like, I can't pull this off.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: And God says, I'm gonna do two things for you.
20:05
SPEAKER_01: So one, for you, I'm gonna give you more strength.
20:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna give you strength so you can be the kind of person who pulls this off, and I will help you.
20:13
SPEAKER_01: Like I will strengthen you, I'll make you stronger, and I will deploy my strength to help you accomplish it, right?
20:19
SPEAKER_01: He says, I will strengthen you and I will help you.
20:23
SPEAKER_01: Now, again, help is help.
20:24
SPEAKER_01: We know what help means, but let me read the definition.
20:28
SPEAKER_01: To give assistance, I want you to imagine.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: I want you to imagine, God is the creator of the entire universe.
20:34
SPEAKER_01: I want you to think about the last time you're at the beach, God made that.
20:36
SPEAKER_01: The last time you looked at a mountain in awe, God made that.
20:39
SPEAKER_01: The last time you maybe you're here at physician, you look at the complexity and beauty of the human body, God made that, right?
20:46
SPEAKER_01: And it's fall now, the time of this is life, and you look at all the fall colors and all of this stuff, God made that.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: Like these are dead leaves.
20:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're so beautiful.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: God made that, and that God says, I will give you assistance, support, or useful resources to make your task, problem, or situation easier.
21:08
SPEAKER_01: That's the definition of help.
21:10
SPEAKER_01: Assist to give assistance, support, or useful resource to make um give it to somebody to make a task, a problem or a situation easier.
21:22
SPEAKER_01: Girl, you're not alone, sir.
21:24
SPEAKER_01: You are not alone.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: Type in the chat, I'm not alone.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: God is with me, God is in me, God said he will strengthen me, and God said that he will help me.
21:37
SPEAKER_01: But I can choose to be afraid or I can choose to say, okay, I'm not alone.
21:41
SPEAKER_01: I have God with me, he will strengthen me, he will give me help, he will, and he'll give me assistance to make this easier, and we can do it together.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: I'm more than a conqueror, I'm a victor.
21:53
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna get this done.
21:55
SPEAKER_01: Hello?
21:56
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so it is easier to be afraid.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: When you think that the challenge is a challenge you need to handle alone.
22:04
SPEAKER_01: When you are more conscious of the magnitude of the God with you than you are of the magnitude of the problem and the ripple effect of the problem, you get to replace your fear with boldness.
22:18
SPEAKER_01: This is why the enemy will always point you to you, because you are the weaker person in the partnership.
22:25
SPEAKER_01: In the partnership between you and God, God is the stronger person.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: God is the one who can never be defeated.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: He's the one with all the power, all the wisdom, everything.
22:34
SPEAKER_01: And so we need to be conscious of who is with us so we can go like, okay, I'm not alone.
22:40
SPEAKER_01: As a student, oh my goodness, this is tough.
22:43
SPEAKER_01: I'm not alone.
22:43
SPEAKER_01: And the God I serve, He's like, ask me for wisdom, ask me for this, ask me for that.
22:47
SPEAKER_01: I want to answer.
22:48
SPEAKER_01: I want to help you.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: I want to make you a sign and a wonder.
22:51
SPEAKER_01: But if we are more aware of our problems than we are about that of our God, then we are going to be afraid.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: And so saying we'll keep pointing at the problem and pointing at you and leave out God, who is our unfair advantage.
23:06
SPEAKER_01: God is our unfair advantage.
23:08
SPEAKER_01: God is what makes our victory constant.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: It's not us.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: He's a constant, he's all powerful.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: Nothing can be thrown at him that he can't handle.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: He's not gonna angel Michael.
23:19
SPEAKER_01: I have never seen a problem like that.
23:21
SPEAKER_01: What are we gonna do?
23:22
SPEAKER_01: Never.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: Okay, now good as this is, he's not even done with one verse.
23:28
SPEAKER_01: So he said, Don't be afraid.
23:30
SPEAKER_01: Why?
23:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm with you.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: Don't be discouraged.
23:32
SPEAKER_01: Why?
23:32
SPEAKER_01: I'm your God.
23:33
SPEAKER_01: I will strengthen you, part one, and I will help you, part two.
23:38
SPEAKER_01: Okay, then he says, and if you're here, I know a number of you said, afraid of you know not fulfilling your destiny, all of this.
23:46
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it feels like, you know, what if all this falls out?
23:49
SPEAKER_01: What if the bottom falls out and whatever?
23:51
SPEAKER_01: He says, I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
23:57
SPEAKER_01: Do you know how freeing it is to know that my job is to do what I do and God is gonna hold me up?
24:05
SPEAKER_01: He will uphold me with his victorious right hand.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: Please, who's gonna come and take me out of his hand and take me down?
24:10
SPEAKER_01: Who is going to come who is so powerful that they're going to come, grab me out of the hand of God, who is upholding me with his victorious right hand, and take me down?
24:20
SPEAKER_01: Who's that person?
24:21
SPEAKER_01: The only way we get taken down is when we forget we're being upheld and we get out like, Lord, forget this hand thing.
24:28
SPEAKER_01: Stop holding me with your hand.
24:29
SPEAKER_01: I want to go do this in my power and my like, only like nobody can help me.
24:32
SPEAKER_01: I'm so afraid, and all we pull ourselves out of the one who will strengthen us, who will help us, who uphold us with his victorious right hand.
24:40
SPEAKER_01: And that signifies, I mean, I know it says right hand, but it signifies his power and his authority.
24:45
SPEAKER_01: I will hold you up with my power and my authority, and he's the ultimate power and the ultimate authority.
24:53
SPEAKER_01: So imagine if you were more aware of this than you are of every any challenge that you have.
25:01
SPEAKER_01: What if your this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth?
25:05
SPEAKER_01: What if, as you go through a trying season, what is coming out of your mouth is, I do not fear, for my God is with me.
25:15
SPEAKER_01: I do not get discouraged, for he is my God.
25:19
SPEAKER_01: He strengthens me, he helps me, he upholds me with his victorious right hand.
25:25
SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine if that's what was coming out of your mouth?
25:28
SPEAKER_01: Yes, ma'am, yes, sir, yes.
25:32
SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay, this is good medicine.
25:34
SPEAKER_01: What is this medicine designed to do?
25:36
SPEAKER_01: To move us from fear to boldness, fear to boldness.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm as bold as a lion.
25:42
SPEAKER_01: Um that again never comes out of your mouth, it never stops coming out of your mouth.
25:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm as bold as a lion, I'm a conqueror, I'm an overcomer, I reject fear, I do not entertain fear, for God is with me.
25:53
SPEAKER_01: I do not get discouraged, for God is my God, He strengthens me on every side, He helps me on every side, He upholds me with His victorious right hand.
26:02
SPEAKER_01: At the end of the day, I win.
26:03
SPEAKER_01: I may be going through a valley, but I am going through.
26:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm not here to stay.
26:09
SPEAKER_01: God, okay, all right.
26:10
SPEAKER_01: So that's pill number one.
26:12
SPEAKER_01: Okay, we're gonna get four pills today.
26:14
SPEAKER_01: Pill number one.
26:15
SPEAKER_01: Pill number two.
26:17
SPEAKER_01: Pill number two is Deuteronomy chapter 31, verse six.
26:21
SPEAKER_01: Oh, this was a scripture that I leveraged when I was in medical school.
26:26
SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness, because I went to medical school in Nigeria, Nigeria uses the European system, meaning they will give as many people as possible the opportunity to get into medical school and then it's survival of the fittest.
26:39
SPEAKER_01: So my class was about 420-ish, I remember if I remember correctly.
26:43
SPEAKER_01: And at the end of the day, 130 graduated.
26:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so it's not about being smart, it's not about getting A's, it's about being one of the 130, right?
26:51
SPEAKER_01: And so, to needless to say, that is a very fear-provoking type of thing.
26:56
SPEAKER_01: And I sat with this scripture and sat with this scripture.
26:59
SPEAKER_01: I didn't know I was meditating, I didn't know what I was doing, but now when I look back on it, I did that until as a medical student, I was as bold as a lion.
27:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay, so here we go.
27:12
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so Deuteronomy chapter 31, verse 6.
27:15
SPEAKER_01: I'm reading from the New King James.
27:18
SPEAKER_01: Okay, it says, be strong.
27:20
SPEAKER_01: Here we go again, be strong and of a good courage, do not fear.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: This is a commandment.
27:27
SPEAKER_01: Do not fear nor be afraid of them.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: For the Lord your God, he is the one who goes with you.
27:35
SPEAKER_01: He will not leave you nor forsake you.
27:38
SPEAKER_01: We come back to the same thing.
27:40
SPEAKER_01: Don't be afraid.
27:41
SPEAKER_01: Why?
27:42
SPEAKER_01: I am going with you.
27:43
SPEAKER_01: I'm a student, Lord.
27:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm a student, I am going with you.
27:47
SPEAKER_01: I'm a business person, I am going with you.
27:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm a parent, I am going with you, I'm a spouse, I am going with you.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna teach on stage, I am going with you.
27:55
SPEAKER_01: I have literally had God tell me this.
27:57
SPEAKER_01: I was gonna go on stage, and you know, I started off as a very socially awkward, super shy, introverted, introvert.
28:03
SPEAKER_01: You guys have heard me say that.
28:04
SPEAKER_01: And when I think of going on stage, I'm like, oh my goodness.
28:07
SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, I was also a people pleaser.
28:09
SPEAKER_01: So what are they thinking about?
28:10
SPEAKER_01: What I'm saying, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
28:11
SPEAKER_01: And God's like, stop.
28:13
SPEAKER_01: When you go on that stage, go with me.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: When you go on that stage, go with me.
28:19
SPEAKER_01: Do you know what that means?
28:20
SPEAKER_01: It means I'm going with him, his glory is upon me, he's giving me the words to say, he's giving me the confidence and all this stuff.
28:27
SPEAKER_01: And I'm saying one thing one way, and he's interpreting it to people in all kinds of different ways.
28:32
SPEAKER_01: That means the angel, like God never goes anywhere alone, like his angels are there, so his angels are working the crowd too.
28:38
SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine going on stage with that consciousness?
28:42
SPEAKER_01: But no, we're more conscious of oh, people say, What if they don't like it?
28:45
SPEAKER_01: Blah blah blah blah.
28:46
SPEAKER_01: Stop the blah blah blah blah blah.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: Stop it.
28:50
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so that's Deuteronomy chapter 31, verse 6.
28:54
SPEAKER_01: I also want to read this for you from the New Living Translation.
29:00
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so let me read this from you.
29:03
SPEAKER_01: I just like the way it was said, it's kind of cool.
29:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so pay attention to this.
29:08
SPEAKER_01: It says, So be strong and courageous.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: And I hope you're obeying the commands.
29:14
SPEAKER_01: Be strong, command number one, be courageous, command number two, do not be afraid, command number three, and do not panic before them.
29:24
SPEAKER_01: Command number four.
29:25
SPEAKER_01: These are commandments, these are not suggestions.
29:28
SPEAKER_01: We're Christians.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: If we are obedient Christians, we don't live in fear.
29:32
SPEAKER_01: Fear is Satan's stuff.
29:35
SPEAKER_01: Okay, be strong, be courageous, don't be afraid, don't panic before them.
29:40
SPEAKER_01: For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you.
29:44
unknown: What now?
29:45
SPEAKER_01: Does this remind you of a scripture where God said, I'll go ahead of you and I'll break in the bars of iron and sunder and all of this stuff?
29:53
SPEAKER_01: Like God is going ahead of us.
29:58
SPEAKER_01: And then he says, For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you.
30:02
SPEAKER_01: He will neither fail you nor abandon you.
30:05
SPEAKER_01: God will not fail me.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: God will not abandon me.
30:07
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so remember a huge part of meditation is visualizing and speaking.
30:11
SPEAKER_01: So it's like, okay, I am strong.
30:14
SPEAKER_01: Now, this is the lens through which you see yourself.
30:17
SPEAKER_01: I am strong, I'm courageous, I'm not afraid, I don't panic before them.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: My God personally goes ahead of me.
30:23
SPEAKER_01: He will not fail me, he will not abandon me in the name of Jesus.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: And you say that as many times as you need to say it, because you've been thinking whatever you've been afraid of as many times as you need to think about it.
30:35
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so you're imagining the thing that, like, I am strong, I am courageous, I am strong, I'm courageous, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I don't panic before them.
30:45
SPEAKER_01: God personally goes ahead of me.
30:47
SPEAKER_01: He get He He will not fail me, He will not abandon.
30:52
SPEAKER_01: You guys see that?
30:53
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so all over the scripture, all over the scriptures, this is what God is doing over and over and over again.
31:01
SPEAKER_01: We must be more conscious, more conscious of the God who is with us.
31:08
SPEAKER_01: We must be more conscious of the magnitude, the size, the power, the wisdom of the God who is with us than we are of the situation.
31:18
SPEAKER_01: We the situation cannot be bigger.
31:20
SPEAKER_01: Guys, perspective is everything.
31:22
SPEAKER_01: Let me tell you something.
31:23
SPEAKER_01: Let me tell you something.
31:25
SPEAKER_01: If I took you, I live in Georgia, okay?
31:27
SPEAKER_01: If I took you to Buckhead, so upper middle class area, I took you to Buckhead and I took you to a mansion there, okay?
31:34
SPEAKER_01: I took you to a mansion there.
31:35
SPEAKER_01: This mansion had, you know, 20 rooms, it had 25 bathrooms.
31:40
SPEAKER_01: I always wonder why there are more bathrooms than rooms, but 25 bathrooms.
31:43
SPEAKER_01: It has a tennis court in it, it has an Olympic-sized swimming pool, it has, you know, like a fully furnished in-law suite, all of these things.
31:51
SPEAKER_01: You would walk, and and and I mean, like, it's it's like vaulted ceilings, it's like, you know, like mind-boggling chandeliers and all of this, they're all big, right?
32:01
SPEAKER_01: So the house is big, um, the the the lawn is big, the rooms are big, the tennis court is big, the swimming pool is big, is big because of your perception.
32:14
SPEAKER_01: Because I promise you, if you then went to the Atlanta International Airport and got into a flight and you were going to Florida and you flew over a buckhead, you wouldn't, you probably won't even be able to find the house.
32:27
SPEAKER_01: And if for any reason you found the house, it will be that small.
32:31
SPEAKER_01: It will be that small.
32:34
SPEAKER_01: It would be that small.
32:36
SPEAKER_01: Why?
32:37
SPEAKER_01: Because the lens through which you're seeing it has changed, your perception of it has changed.
32:44
SPEAKER_01: So previously, you may have been in a situation where your problem was the size of the mansion with you in the mansion, not the size of the problem with not the size of the mansion with you in the plane.
32:55
SPEAKER_01: Now we need to start seeing the things that we've been afraid of from the plane, not from inside the problem.
33:02
SPEAKER_01: We need to see it as the size it is because of the magnitude of our God, because of the magnitude of our God.
33:08
SPEAKER_01: There is no challenge we're facing that is so big that God is impressed.
33:13
SPEAKER_01: Not a single one.
33:15
SPEAKER_01: Not a single one.
33:17
SPEAKER_01: So we need to start seeing these things different.
33:19
SPEAKER_01: No matter how big it is, you're like, this is an easy thing for my God.
33:23
SPEAKER_01: This is an easy thing for my God.
33:24
SPEAKER_01: And guys, I'm not even saying it from the standpoint of magical thinking.
33:29
SPEAKER_01: If you're here and you have so many issues with finances, you don't even know how to do a budget.
33:34

34:14
SPEAKER_01: He said, Call to me, and I will answer you, and I will show you greater mighty things that you didn't know.
34:20

35:42
SPEAKER_01: From now, these are the things we see out of our mouth, these are the things we visualize, these are the things we do all this stuff with.
35:48
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so Psalm 23, verse 4.
35:50
SPEAKER_01: Listen, it says, Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
35:58
SPEAKER_01: Now, when you think about fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, the biggest fear is a fear.
36:03
SPEAKER_01: Like, if we're to grade it, it's like a death.
36:05
SPEAKER_01: That's kind of like quote unquote permanent, right?
36:08
SPEAKER_01: Now, he says, even if I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death, in the midst of that, I will fear no evil.
36:15
SPEAKER_01: Wait, what?
36:17
SPEAKER_01: Like what?
36:19
SPEAKER_01: How can you be in the valley of the shadow of the death of death and not fear evil?
36:23
SPEAKER_01: We came back to the same thing.
36:25
SPEAKER_01: He said, For you are with me.
36:28
SPEAKER_01: God is my unfair advantage.
36:31
SPEAKER_01: God is my unfair advantage, God is my victory.
36:35
SPEAKER_01: God is the reason why I have no reason to be afraid, I have no reason to be discouraged, I have no reason for any of those things.
36:40
SPEAKER_01: Even if I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I don't need to be afraid.
36:44
SPEAKER_01: Why?
36:44
SPEAKER_01: Because he's with me.
36:46
SPEAKER_01: He's with me.
36:48
SPEAKER_01: I must be conscious of the fact that he is with me.
36:51
SPEAKER_01: If I am not conscious of the fact that he's with me, then I have to live a life of fear.
37:00
SPEAKER_01: If I am more aware of my problem, that I'm aware of the God with me, the problem will have the upper hand.
37:08
SPEAKER_01: So the consequence is fear.
37:10
SPEAKER_01: If I'm more aware of the God who is with me, who has all the wisdom, all the power, all the authority, all of that stuff, and I'm made in his image and after his likeness, and he's rooting for me, and the apple of his eye, and the object of his affection, then I got none to fear.
37:25
SPEAKER_01: He said, even if I'm in the valley, even if I'm in the valley, and not any kind of valley, the valley of the shadow of death, in the midst of that, I will fear no evil.
37:35
SPEAKER_01: In looking at evil, I will fear no evil.
37:37
SPEAKER_01: Why?
37:38
SPEAKER_01: Because he's with me.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: And he says, His rod, which he uses to fight wolves who try to come to get to the sheep, and the staff, which he uses to guide me and rein me in, they will comfort me.
37:52
SPEAKER_01: I have his protection, I have his guidance.
37:54
SPEAKER_01: I have his protection, I have his guidance.
37:56
SPEAKER_01: So even though I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death, notice he didn't say, even if even though I am in the valley, because we don't stay in no valley, we go through it.
38:04
SPEAKER_01: We do not stay in a valley.
38:05
SPEAKER_01: And if we're in a valley and it's scary and it's all of that stuff, every moment we're in the valley, we are going through the valley.
38:12
SPEAKER_01: And God is there with his protection and his guidance.
38:14
SPEAKER_01: His protection and his guidance.
38:16
SPEAKER_01: So in the valley, I'm protected.
38:17
SPEAKER_01: In the valley, I have guidance to get out of the valley.
38:20
SPEAKER_01: So I go through the valley.
38:22
SPEAKER_01: I don't live in the valley, it's not my it's not like P.O.
38:25
SPEAKER_01: Box Valley.
38:26
SPEAKER_01: I'm not there to stay.
38:27
SPEAKER_01: It is not my address.
38:28
SPEAKER_01: I don't live here.
38:29
SPEAKER_01: I'm going through it, but I'm going through it with God with me, and the God with me guides me and protects me in the valley.
38:42
SPEAKER_01: I am so excited.
38:43
SPEAKER_01: How many of you already feel less fearful?
38:46
SPEAKER_00: You feel more bold.
38:48
SPEAKER_00: God is with me.
38:50
SPEAKER_00: He's with me.
38:51
SPEAKER_00: He will help me, He will strengthen me, He will go ahead of me, He won't leave me, He won't fail me, He won't abandon me.
38:59
SPEAKER_01: And He has His rod and His staff.
39:02
SPEAKER_01: And they comfort me where in the valley of the shadow of the death of death, where I ain't there to live, though.
39:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm going through.
39:12
SPEAKER_01: That is pill number three.
39:14
SPEAKER_01: I love my medicine.
39:16
SPEAKER_01: So, what does that mean?
39:17
SPEAKER_01: My declaration.
39:18
SPEAKER_01: Even though I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
39:22
SPEAKER_01: Even when evil shows up before me, I will fear no evil because God is with me and He guides me through it, He guides me out of it.
39:30
SPEAKER_01: And while I'm going through it, He protects me, He protects me, He comforts me.
39:36
SPEAKER_01: I am not here to stay.
39:38
SPEAKER_01: This valley, this temptation, this trial, this chaos, this is not my permanent address.
39:45
SPEAKER_01: I am going through every day I'm closer to being out of the valley.
39:50
SPEAKER_01: Every day I'm closer to being out of the valley.
39:53
SPEAKER_01: God's help is with me, God strengthens me, God upholds me with his victorious right hand.
39:57
SPEAKER_01: He will never fail me.
39:59
SPEAKER_01: He will never abandon me in the name of Jesus.
40:01
SPEAKER_01: And it could hurt when you say that.
40:03
SPEAKER_01: It don't matter if you have this book of the law coming out of your mouth day and night, you're meditating on day and night, even if it feels some kind of way, it's still working.
40:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now pill number four.
40:21
SPEAKER_01: Pill number four.
40:24
SPEAKER_01: This describes you second Timothy chapter one.
40:27
SPEAKER_01: Second Timothy chapter one, verse seven.
40:29
SPEAKER_01: Okay, this is so good.
40:32
SPEAKER_01: So good.
40:34
SPEAKER_01: Okay, what does it say?
40:37
SPEAKER_01: It says, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, which means fear is a spirit, and that spirit is not from God.
40:49
SPEAKER_01: And if it's not from God, it means from Satan.
40:52
SPEAKER_01: So Satan sends a spirit of fear, and I refuse to be defeated by a spirit sent by Satan.
40:59
SPEAKER_01: I refuse to treat fear like it's a casual thing.
41:01
SPEAKER_01: I refuse to treat fear like it's a natural phenomenon.
41:04
SPEAKER_01: I refuse to teach fear, treat fear like it's just something we gotta deal with.
41:08
SPEAKER_01: I refuse to treat fear like my pet, like my fear.
41:11
SPEAKER_01: I ain't got no fear.
41:13
SPEAKER_01: God has not given us a spirit of fear.
41:17
SPEAKER_01: So what did he give us instead?
41:19
SPEAKER_01: But he gave me a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind.
41:25
SPEAKER_01: What is my declaration?
41:27
SPEAKER_01: God has not given me a spirit of fear.
41:29
SPEAKER_01: I will not succumb to fear, I will not bow to fear, I will not tolerate fear.
41:34
SPEAKER_01: God has given me a spirit, what he has given me is a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind, of power and of love and a sound mind.
41:43
SPEAKER_01: So when you go, like, oh, you know the way my mind is, how is your mind?
41:47
SPEAKER_01: Your mind is a sound mind.
41:48
SPEAKER_01: That's what God gave you.
41:49
SPEAKER_01: Which one did you take?
41:51
SPEAKER_01: I have a sound mind.
41:53
SPEAKER_01: I have a sound mind.
41:54
SPEAKER_01: I have a spirit of power.
41:56
SPEAKER_01: Like power, doesn't that rhyme more with boldness than it does with fear?
42:00
SPEAKER_01: I have power, I have a spirit of power and love and of a sound mind in the name of Jesus.
42:06
SPEAKER_01: That's my declaration.
42:07
SPEAKER_01: I don't yield to fear, I don't yield to fear, I don't yield to no fear.
42:12
SPEAKER_01: I yield into no fear.
42:15
SPEAKER_01: I am not yielding to no fear, guys.
42:18
SPEAKER_01: What that means is if there's something I need from God, I can ask.
42:25
SPEAKER_01: Look, listen, like let's be like two-year-olds.
42:28
SPEAKER_01: What do they tell two year olds when they whine and complain and all?
42:31
SPEAKER_01: They say, use your words, use your words.
42:34
SPEAKER_01: Like Lord, sphere of finances, Lord, I'm in debt.
42:39
SPEAKER_01: I got$25,000 in debt.
42:42
SPEAKER_01: But I know you strengthen me, I know you help me.
42:44
SPEAKER_01: And Lord, you you told me not to do that thing.
42:47
SPEAKER_01: I did it.
42:47
SPEAKER_01: I I repent.
42:49
SPEAKER_01: I repent.
42:50
SPEAKER_01: Now, Lord, open my eyes to see how to get out of debt, but not from a place of fear.
42:55
SPEAKER_01: This is from a place of confidence.
42:57
SPEAKER_01: This is a place of knowing that God is with me and God wants to help me.
43:00
SPEAKER_01: It's like, Lord, open my eyes to see how I get out of debt, Lord.
43:04
SPEAKER_01: This marriage, like I mean, with this tongue, I have done the most.
43:09
SPEAKER_01: I have done the most this.
43:11
SPEAKER_01: Like, Father, I pray in the name of Jesus, open my eyes.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: How do I turn my marriage right side up?
43:19
SPEAKER_01: Lord, this kid, I don't know what to do with this kid.
43:22
SPEAKER_01: I have no clue what to do with this kid.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: Open my eyes to see.
43:25
SPEAKER_01: We don't yield to fear.
43:26
SPEAKER_01: We reach out and get help from the one who is right with us.
43:31
SPEAKER_01: We reach out and ask the one who is right with us questions because now we are leaving the realm of living in fear to the realm of divine consultation.
43:40
SPEAKER_01: Lord, this is what is going on.
43:42
SPEAKER_01: What do I do?
43:43
SPEAKER_01: And let me tell you something, God told me.
43:44
SPEAKER_01: Let me see if I can find the scripture.
43:47
SPEAKER_01: I think it's Proverbs 25 2.

44:08
SPEAKER_01: They're not hidden from you, they're hidden for you.
44:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay, but then he says, it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter, right?
44:17
SPEAKER_01: Like I'm in dead, I'm afraid.
44:19
SPEAKER_01: Why be afraid?
44:20
SPEAKER_01: Ask God questions, ask God to strengthen you.
44:22
SPEAKER_01: Go find a book, read a book.
44:23
SPEAKER_01: How do people talk to somebody else who got out of debt?
44:25
SPEAKER_01: What did they do?
44:26
SPEAKER_01: All this stuff.
44:26
SPEAKER_01: Search out the matter, search out the answer, search out the way out.

SPEAKER_01: You're running a business, fear of failure.
44:33
SPEAKER_01: Okay, the people who are succeeding, what are they doing?
44:35
SPEAKER_01: God, what does he say in his word about business success?
44:37
SPEAKER_01: Ask him to open your eyes, ask him to connect you to the right member mentors, ask him for what you need.
44:42
SPEAKER_01: Use your words, but now you're solution-oriented, not fear-oriented.
44:47

49:04
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:05
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:06
SPEAKER_01: So that's the first thing you're going to do.
49:07
SPEAKER_01: You're going to meditate.
49:08
SPEAKER_01: You're going to pick a specific time.
49:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:11
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:11
SPEAKER_01: The beautiful thing about this is five minutes is the minimum.
49:15
SPEAKER_01: So guess what?
49:16
SPEAKER_01: Well, you can do after that, okay?
49:18
SPEAKER_01: Is that you can stay as long as you like.
49:20
SPEAKER_01: So after you're done meditating, you see this little thing here that says sit a little longer.
49:24
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:25
SPEAKER_01: If you click on that, you can go as long as 30 minutes, an hour, you know, a hundred minutes, three hours, whatever you want to do.
49:32
SPEAKER_01: But you can go as long as you want.
49:35
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:35
SPEAKER_01: But you still the minimum is five minutes, which means you can also take these meditation snacks all through the day, right?
49:41
SPEAKER_01: You decide, man, I just want to do another five minutes with this verse.
49:44
SPEAKER_01: I just want to do another five minutes.
49:45
SPEAKER_01: You can go for it.
49:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:47
SPEAKER_01: All right.
49:47
SPEAKER_01: So that's that piece.
49:49
SPEAKER_01: And we have four verses.
49:51
SPEAKER_01: So what that means is when you're done meditating on the core verse, which is Isaiah chapter 41, verse 10, you'll see an option.
49:57
SPEAKER_01: You see this up here where it circles where it says another verse.
50:00
SPEAKER_01: You can literally, you can literally click on that and it will show you all four.
50:06
SPEAKER_01: And you get to pick like what do I want to meditate on right now?
50:11
SPEAKER_01: So you pick any of the four and you just go again for it.
50:14
SPEAKER_01: You go again for it.
50:15
SPEAKER_01: Like we are going to we are going to sit on this for the next five, the next seven days, and we are going to change our lives forever.
50:23
SPEAKER_01: Like forever and ever and ever.
50:24
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
50:25
SPEAKER_01: So you get to pick another verse and you meditate in that.
50:28
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
50:29
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
50:29
SPEAKER_01: What are we doing?
50:30
SPEAKER_01: We're taking our medicine.
50:31
SPEAKER_01: Now, this one you guys are going to promise me on this one.
50:35
SPEAKER_01: You're going to promise me on this one.
50:37
SPEAKER_01: And every single day, when you're done with your meditation, it will bring you to a place where you put the action you will take today based on your meditation.
50:46
SPEAKER_01: We're not here to play.
50:48
SPEAKER_01: So you meditate then based on your meditation.
50:50
SPEAKER_01: In the time of meditation, God will show you what to do.
50:52
SPEAKER_01: Some of them you already know to do, some of them He told you a long time ago, but you haven't done it yet.
50:56
SPEAKER_01: We will take bold action every single day.
50:59
SPEAKER_01: Because why do we want to do that?
51:01
SPEAKER_01: Because we are going to get bold testimonies every single day.
51:04
SPEAKER_01: We are going to get wins every day.
51:06
SPEAKER_01: Every single day.
51:07
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
51:08
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
51:08
SPEAKER_01: We are not doing this for fun.
51:10
SPEAKER_01: We are going to take bold action.
51:12
SPEAKER_01: Some of them things you've been meaning to do for the last 10 years, some of them things you've been meaning to do since the last 12 weeks.
51:18
SPEAKER_01: And we're going to take action and we're going to get results.
51:20
SPEAKER_01: And so right below where you see taking action, you're going to see an opportunity to share a win from yesterday.
51:26
SPEAKER_01: And the win may be that you took the action.
51:28
SPEAKER_01: The win may be that the result of the action has already showed up.
51:31
SPEAKER_01: And I am believing God for all kinds of testimonies because you guys are going to have all of those.
51:36
SPEAKER_01: At the end of these seven days, you're going to be like, What is fear?
51:39
SPEAKER_01: What is fear?
51:40
SPEAKER_01: What is fear?
51:40
SPEAKER_01: Fear will never stop me.
51:42
SPEAKER_01: Because look at what happened in my life in a week when I decided fear was no longer going to stop me.
51:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
51:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay.

SPEAKER_01: So we're going to expect breakthroughs every single day.
51:54
SPEAKER_01: And then, guys, we're going to invite our friends.
51:58
SPEAKER_01: Now, I could have kept this to myself.
52:01
SPEAKER_01: I could have said, what?
52:02
SPEAKER_01: Let me go do a seven-day challenge with myself.
52:04
SPEAKER_01: I came to tell 300 of you.
52:07
SPEAKER_01: I came to tell 300 of you.
52:09
SPEAKER_01: And this is changing your life.
52:11
SPEAKER_01: Now you are able to do the same thing for somebody else.
52:16
SPEAKER_01: I want you when you get in there and all this stuff, I want you to click share with friends.
52:22
SPEAKER_01: Share with friends.
52:24
SPEAKER_01: And I want you to take the like you will open up your, you know, like your WhatsApp or your text or whatever that is, email, however you want to send it, and you can send it to the people in your world.
52:36
SPEAKER_01: Now, I'm saying a minimum of five.
52:38
SPEAKER_01: I know some of you are people who do 12.
52:40
SPEAKER_01: I know some of you are people who do 50.
52:42
SPEAKER_01: I know some of you are people who do 100.
52:44
SPEAKER_01: I know some of you are people who do a thousand.
52:45
SPEAKER_01: Pick your number.
52:47
SPEAKER_01: But my goodness, let somebody else say thank you, Jesus, and this changed my life forever because you shared it with them.
52:56
SPEAKER_01: Because you shared it with them.
52:59
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
53:00
SPEAKER_01: You're going to share the challenge.
53:01
SPEAKER_01: You're going to help, you're going to advance the kingdom by helping God, right?
53:07
SPEAKER_01: When I say helping God, what I mean he gives us the opportunity to do it doesn't really need our help in that way.
53:12
SPEAKER_01: But you're going to stand with God to see five people no longer subject to fear.
53:17
SPEAKER_01: If every one of us on this call did that, think of the number of people who will no longer be subject to fear.
53:23
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
53:24
SPEAKER_01: And if you're in the app and you need help of any kind, there's a need help button there.
53:29
SPEAKER_01: You click on it, it will give you answers to the most commonly asked questions.
53:33
SPEAKER_01: And if you need to send us a message, you'll be able to send us a message.

53:42
SPEAKER_01: This is where I want every single one of you to be at the end of the week.
53:47
SPEAKER_01: I want you to say, and you're saying it is not just a philosophical saying.
53:52
SPEAKER_01: You've demonstrated it, you walked in it, you've done the work for it, you've brainwashed your mind with the word of God for it.
53:58
SPEAKER_01: And you're like, I am as bold as a lion.
54:02
SPEAKER_01: I'm as bold as a lion.
54:05
SPEAKER_01: I am as bold as a lion.
54:07
SPEAKER_01: And that is what we are going to co-create.
54:09
SPEAKER_01: That is what we are going to create together, where we are bold like lions, because we are now more aware of the God who is with us, who helps us, who strengthens us, who will never leave us, who will never fail us, who will never abandon us, who upholds us with his victorious right hand, who leads us through and protects us through the valley, right?
54:31
SPEAKER_01: And who has given us a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind.
54:37

57:25
SPEAKER_01: You did not call us to be subject to fear, but for some reason we find ourselves in this position where fear seems normal.
57:32
SPEAKER_01: Like that's, you know, it's we're humans.
57:34
SPEAKER_01: That's what happens.
57:34

57:43
SPEAKER_01: I ask for strength.
57:44
SPEAKER_01: I ask for insight.
57:45
SPEAKER_01: I ask that you shine your light, that at the end of it all, we will be bold and confident and courageous.
57:52
SPEAKER_01: And we will be these people who will go deeper in you.
57:55
SPEAKER_01: We are these people who will manifest your blessing in all night areas of your life and we are of life and will be people who will aggressively advance your kingdom.
58:03
SPEAKER_01: And we will go from one level of glory to the other in the other in our ability to do this.
