- 2:57Speaker 1: five years. I tell you, I am truly truly excited
- 3:00Speaker 1: this morning. I just really want to share some things
- 3:03Speaker 1: with you guys, coming from Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven.
- 3:07Speaker 1: That has been my power scripture, that has been the
- 3:10Speaker 1: scripture that has truly carried me, that has helped me
- 3:13Speaker 1: through a lot of situations, has helped me through a
- 3:16Speaker 1: lot of situation. Even when He dropped this in my
- 3:19Speaker 1: spirit and said that He had a plan for my life,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I still experienced a lot of things that in the
- 3:26Speaker 1: natural I truly couldn't explain. But knowing that God was
- 3:30Speaker 1: truly working in my life and to see and to
- 3:33Speaker 1: look back and to be able to reflect on the
- 3:37Speaker 1: things that God has done in and through me. I'm
- 3:40Speaker 1: just truly, truly honored and disgrateful on today. So for
- 3:45Speaker 1: those that are not familiar with that scripture Jeremiah twenty
- 3:48Speaker 1: nine and eleven, it reminds us that God has a
- 3:52Speaker 1: plan for us. It says, for I know the plans
- 3:54Speaker 1: that I have for you, declares the Lord plans to
- 3:57Speaker 1: prosper you, not to harm you, as to give you
- 4:00Speaker 1: hope in the future. This scripture teaches us the importance
- 4:04Speaker 1: of being intentional. Here hear this word. Hear this word now,
- 4:09Speaker 1: intentional and fulfilling God's call on our life. We have
- 4:14Speaker 1: to be intentional about that thing. Understanding the power of
- 4:19Speaker 1: intention that's what we're gonna talk about today. Understanding the
- 4:23Speaker 1: power of being intentional. First, you understand when you understand
- 4:29Speaker 1: your purpose, recognizing that you have a divine purpose, that
- 4:34Speaker 1: God has a pacific plan tailored just for you, that
- 4:39Speaker 1: it was designed to prosper and to uplift you. So
- 4:44Speaker 1: once you find out what that purpose is, then you
- 4:47Speaker 1: shall begin to see these things come forth. You've begin
- 4:50Speaker 1: to prosper, you will begin to be uplifted and not
- 4:53Speaker 1: only you'll be uplifted. You'll be able to uplift those
- 4:56Speaker 1: around you. Not only with be being intentional, it opens
- 5:03Speaker 1: up opportunity. Being intentional will allow you to seize the
- 5:09Speaker 1: opportunity that pleases God and those things that God present
- 5:13Speaker 1: to you. By being intentional, you can align your action
- 5:18Speaker 1: with His plan. Third wisdom, seeking wisdom through prayer and reflection.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Understanding God's intention. It requires discernment. It cures you to
- 5:36Speaker 1: be able to to cipher out things, to be able
- 5:39Speaker 1: to read between the line, to be able to read
- 5:42Speaker 1: things when when when there's a message in a song,
- 5:45Speaker 1: when there's a message maybe their actions or them just
- 5:48Speaker 1: being in your presence. You have to be able to
- 5:50Speaker 1: discern those things. And when you're not sure, all you
- 5:55Speaker 1: have to do is call on the Father. Just ask him,
- 5:58Speaker 1: ask him for wisdom, and he'll give it to you.
- 6:03Speaker 1: The fourth thing is empowerment, and y'all, if you get it,
- 6:06Speaker 1: we are spelling out the word power, p purpose, O, opportunity,
- 6:13Speaker 1: w wisdom, and the E empowerment. Feel empowered by the
- 6:20Speaker 1: knowledge that God's plan are all good, encouraging you to
- 6:26Speaker 1: move forward with confidence. Let me read that again. Feel
- 6:30Speaker 1: empowered by the knowledge that God's plan are good for you,
- 6:37Speaker 1: encouraging you to move forward with confidence. You gotta encourage
- 6:42Speaker 1: yourself and then you got to be confident in the
- 6:45Speaker 1: things that God has called you to and purposed you to.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Once you are empowered in you a knowledge and you know,
- 6:54Speaker 1: then you can move in confidence and you can move
- 6:57Speaker 1: in those things that God has purposed for you. Resilience,
- 7:02Speaker 1: Stay resilient, stay, stayd fast when challenges come, because you
- 7:10Speaker 1: gotta know that they're gonna come. Because the Word tells
- 7:12Speaker 1: us that. The Word tells us that that that weapons
- 7:15Speaker 1: are gonna form. But just because they form does not
- 7:19Speaker 1: mean that they're gonna prosper. And we have to hold
- 7:22Speaker 1: fast to that word. We have to believe that, and
- 7:24Speaker 1: we have to know it, and we have to speak
- 7:26Speaker 1: over our life. We have to encourage ourselves. So stay
- 7:30Speaker 1: in resilient and knowing that God's plan for you shall
- 7:34Speaker 1: come to pass. Now, how do you activate these things?
- 7:38Speaker 1: So there's an activation plan for being intentional and and
- 7:43Speaker 1: and and this is the plan that God dropped in
- 7:46Speaker 1: my spirit based on Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven, y'all,
- 7:49Speaker 1: Jeremih twenty nine and eleven. Then my time of prayer
- 7:52Speaker 1: and preparing for this morning. This is what he dropped
- 7:55Speaker 1: in my spirit. So this is the plan. This is
- 7:58Speaker 1: how you can activate intentional living based on Jeremiah twenty
- 8:04Speaker 1: nine and eleven. Because He already tell you got a
- 8:07Speaker 1: plan for you. So purpose align with your divine purpose.
- 8:12Speaker 1: How do you do that? Every day? You should spend
- 8:16Speaker 1: at least ten minutes. You can do it in the
- 8:18Speaker 1: morning or you can do it in the evening, but
- 8:21Speaker 1: you should spend at least ten minutes reflecting on your
- 8:26Speaker 1: life's purpose. Write down small goals that align with your
- 8:32Speaker 1: purpose so that you can begin to move into those things. Weekly,
- 8:38Speaker 1: you should be reviewing these things. I choose Sunday, but
- 8:41Speaker 1: you can choose whatevery day you would like to review.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Review your goals, reflect on how they are aligning with
- 8:48Speaker 1: what you feel called to do. See if those things
- 8:51Speaker 1: that the goals that you have for yourself, if they're
- 8:54Speaker 1: aligning with the things that you feel God has caused
- 8:57Speaker 1: you to do, and if they're not aligning, then you
- 8:59Speaker 1: need to think about things that you can do to
- 9:02Speaker 1: get them aligned. Opportunity How do you see opportunities that
- 9:10Speaker 1: God has given you? First thing you need to do
- 9:14Speaker 1: is and we do this every morning at five am.
- 9:19Speaker 1: We we pray and your private time or prayer, ask
- 9:23Speaker 1: God to open your eyes to opportunities each day that
- 9:27Speaker 1: align with your purpose. You got to ask him to
- 9:31Speaker 1: lead God and direct you. So just ask him to
- 9:35Speaker 1: open your eyes so that you can see opportunities that
- 9:40Speaker 1: align with the things that He has planned out for you.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Every day you should be putting something in to action.
- 9:52Speaker 1: So identify new opportunities that arise, take small steps forward.
- 9:58Speaker 1: If it's just if you you are an author, and
- 10:00Speaker 1: it's just going into the library and sitting down and
- 10:05Speaker 1: talking to the people that may be able to help
- 10:08Speaker 1: you get your book in the library, or are going
- 10:11Speaker 1: to a bookstore and seeing how you can host a
- 10:15Speaker 1: book reading a going to your local community centers, your
- 10:20Speaker 1: local outreaches and seeing how you can come and maybe
- 10:23Speaker 1: read thirty minutes in the afternoon to the kids. Y'all.
- 10:27Speaker 1: There's so many different things that you can be doing
- 10:31Speaker 1: to help you walk in your purpose and to be
- 10:35Speaker 1: intentional about that thing. And I'm just throwing that out
- 10:38Speaker 1: there for authors. If you are a coach, you should
- 10:40Speaker 1: be looking out for people that are in need of
- 10:44Speaker 1: your services. You should be going to platforms and searching
- 10:48Speaker 1: out for you be talking to people and meeting people,
- 10:51Speaker 1: passing out your business card, passing out your one sheeter,
- 10:56Speaker 1: and reaching out to people that are holding conference and
- 10:59Speaker 1: seeing how you can get involved and allow your brand
- 11:02Speaker 1: to truly, truly resonate and speak. So make sure that
- 11:07Speaker 1: daily you are identifying at least one new opportunity that
- 11:12Speaker 1: you may walk into and then just take small steps
- 11:16Speaker 1: to get towards those goals. Wisdom and seeking divine guidance
- 11:25Speaker 1: every day. So we do a daily prayer at five am,
- 11:33Speaker 1: and we've been doing it now for five years. Y'all,
- 11:37Speaker 1: study your stripture. Learn how to speak scripture over you
- 11:42Speaker 1: learn how to speak into your life. He told us
- 11:44Speaker 1: in Proverbs eighteen and twenty one that we have the
- 11:46Speaker 1: power to speak life or death. So you have the
- 11:48Speaker 1: power to speak life. You also have the power to
- 11:52Speaker 1: speak death, so you can speak life. Every day, you
- 11:56Speaker 1: should dedicate time to studying a passage of scripture that
- 12:00Speaker 1: you can apply to your life. It helps you to
- 12:03Speaker 1: gain insight that may be relevant to your current life situations. Y'all,
- 12:10Speaker 1: this Bible is ours, it's our daily instructions. This is
- 12:16Speaker 1: our basic instructions for daily living. So read your scripture,
- 12:25Speaker 1: put something in you see how you can take those
- 12:28Speaker 1: scriptures and make it relevant for your current situation in
- 12:32Speaker 1: your current life. Then journal, Keep a journal. Keep you
- 12:40Speaker 1: a wisdom journal like you can keep all types of journal.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Or or if you got a journal that you already
- 12:47Speaker 1: journal man, just keep put you a section aside that's
- 12:50Speaker 1: for wisdom in journal where you can record your insight
- 12:56Speaker 1: and guidance that you receive. So when he gives you,
- 13:00Speaker 1: write it down, and then you can go back and
- 13:04Speaker 1: you can look at the things. You can look at
- 13:05Speaker 1: the things that he dropping your spirit, like he give
- 13:08Speaker 1: you a nugget, Write it down, y'all. We should always
- 13:11Speaker 1: keep something that we can jot our stuff down. Y'all.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I got a plan sitting over here behind this sign,
- 13:17Speaker 1: right here beside my bed up under my new devotional
- 13:20Speaker 1: that I just got from Jania, alongside my Bible. All
- 13:23Speaker 1: three of them are sitting right there beside my beside
- 13:26Speaker 1: my night stand. So when I get the urge, I
- 13:32Speaker 1: can jot something down. Keep you a journal, keep you
- 13:35Speaker 1: two three four journals. You might have one at work,
- 13:39Speaker 1: you might have one in your car, you might have
- 13:40Speaker 1: one in your bedroom. You might have one in your office,
- 13:45Speaker 1: but keep you journals where you can jot down things
- 13:48Speaker 1: when they're given to you. And we're moving on down
- 13:53Speaker 1: to the e y'all, understanding empowerment, embracing the confidence of
- 13:59Speaker 1: God's plan you You you gotta understand God's plan for
- 14:03Speaker 1: your life and be confident. Be confident and know that
- 14:08Speaker 1: this is what He calls you to and this is
- 14:11Speaker 1: this is what you're supposed to be doing. You can
- 14:13Speaker 1: hold your head high and and hold your shoulders back
- 14:17Speaker 1: and walk forward straight, speak affirmations over your life. That's
- 14:24Speaker 1: how you can truly empower yourself. Start your day with
- 14:28Speaker 1: a positive affirmation about God's plan for you. Practice gratitude
- 14:39Speaker 1: before you go to bed at night, y'all, reflect on
- 14:43Speaker 1: the things that God has done for you. Take time
- 14:47Speaker 1: to jot down a couple of things, at least three
- 14:49Speaker 1: things that He has empowered you to do during the day,
- 14:53Speaker 1: and then to just thank him forward because y'all, we
- 14:56Speaker 1: didn't We don't get through the day by ourselves, you know,
- 15:00Speaker 1: just like we need Him to get through this day,
- 15:03Speaker 1: and we need Him throughout the day. At the end
- 15:06Speaker 1: of the day, we should be thanking him for allowing
- 15:08Speaker 1: us to get through the day, for allowing us to
- 15:13Speaker 1: make it to the night. And then as you go
- 15:18Speaker 1: off into your sleep, ask him to show you things
- 15:22Speaker 1: as you sleep, tell him to reveal those things to
- 15:24Speaker 1: you that need to be revealed. God, he said he
- 15:28Speaker 1: will give dreams and visions. So if he gonna give
- 15:32Speaker 1: you dreams and visions, then asks him to show you
- 15:34Speaker 1: as he's giving you these dreams and visions, the things
- 15:38Speaker 1: that align to you. Be intentional. If you know that
- 15:43Speaker 1: you need to you need a business plan in line,
- 15:46Speaker 1: you know that you need funding, you know that you
- 15:48Speaker 1: need these things. Be intentional with the things that you're
- 15:51Speaker 1: asking him. Be intentional with the things that you're putting
- 15:53Speaker 1: before him so that those things can align so that
- 15:59Speaker 1: he can show you. When he began to show you things,
- 16:03Speaker 1: he can show you those things that you're asking. But
- 16:08Speaker 1: you gotta ask. So we're moving on to resiliency, our
- 16:14Speaker 1: resilience and building strength through faith. Building strength through faith.
- 16:20Speaker 1: This is the time when you want to have those
- 16:23Speaker 1: mindfulness moments where you just take a few moments each
- 16:27Speaker 1: day to practice your mindfulness and focus on God's promises
- 16:33Speaker 1: and your inner strength. Know that you got power. Know
- 16:37Speaker 1: that you didn't get dropped out of the sky. Know
- 16:39Speaker 1: that that that that there's something that that drives you,
- 16:45Speaker 1: that that that wakes you up, That that that that
- 16:47Speaker 1: allows you to want to do those things that you do.
- 16:50Speaker 1: And it's called that will and a will that will
- 16:53Speaker 1: not let you quit, that will not let you stop,
- 16:57Speaker 1: no matter what come at you, it will will not
- 17:00Speaker 1: let you stop. So keep focusing on that that he
- 17:05Speaker 1: has called you to. Another thing, Learn to network. Reach
- 17:14Speaker 1: out to friends or groups of uh with mutual that
- 17:20Speaker 1: have mutual things going on. All those people that that
- 17:25Speaker 1: that you connect with, that that have the same mindset,
- 17:28Speaker 1: that are doing the same thing. Like the one hundred
- 17:31Speaker 1: Author Movement. We all are authors. We have a lot
- 17:34Speaker 1: in common. So connect with people so that you can
- 17:39Speaker 1: encourage each other. So you can share your challenges and
- 17:44Speaker 1: then you can share how you overcame. And then you
- 17:47Speaker 1: can pray with each other, speak words of encouragement to
- 17:52Speaker 1: each other, because that's what we do in the one
- 17:54Speaker 1: hundred Authors Movement. We're always encouraging each other. We believe
- 17:59Speaker 1: in for seas and that is connect, collaborate, create, and community.
- 18:11Speaker 1: As I close this part of the hour, and this
- 18:19Speaker 1: is just a lesson. This is just something that I
- 18:21Speaker 1: hope that you are gathering some things that you can
- 18:24Speaker 1: take away and apply to your life and apply to
- 18:27Speaker 1: your daily three takeaways and weekly applications. This is what
- 18:35Speaker 1: you can apply, so align them with your purpose. Reflect
- 18:39Speaker 1: on your goals and ensure they align with God's purpose
- 18:44Speaker 1: for you. This week, write down your intentions and pray
- 18:50Speaker 1: for guidance. Write it down because it tell us over
- 18:54Speaker 1: in Rebekah. Write the vision and make it plain, So
- 18:59Speaker 1: write it down. Write down your goals, write down your reflection.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Two and again we are doing takeaways for this week
- 19:10Speaker 1: and weeklyasis. Seize God's given opportunities. Be attentive to opportunities
- 19:18Speaker 1: that align with your calling. Each day, identify one action
- 19:24Speaker 1: that moves you closer to fulfilling God's purpose for you.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Every day, you should be growing closer to that thing
- 19:30Speaker 1: that He's called you to. If he called you to
- 19:32Speaker 1: write a book, every day, you should be moving towards
- 19:35Speaker 1: to writing a book. You shouldn't be where you was
- 19:37Speaker 1: two weeks ago on writing that book. You should be
- 19:39Speaker 1: moving forward with writing that book. If he's called you
- 19:42Speaker 1: to do a podcast, you should be moving forward with
- 19:46Speaker 1: hosting that podcast. Don't sit on the things that God
- 19:50Speaker 1: has given you, because the longer you sit on them,
- 19:53Speaker 1: the longer you're gonna not want to do them. And
- 19:56Speaker 1: if you continue to sit on them, he will remove them. Three.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Embrace empowerment in resilience, trust in God's plan, and do
- 20:11Speaker 1: not be discouraged by setbacks. Y'all things are gonna happen.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Things are going to happen no matter how much you plan, no, no,
- 20:20Speaker 1: no matter how much you pray, no matter what, things
- 20:25Speaker 1: are gonna happen. And just as those things happen, we
- 20:29Speaker 1: can't get discouraged because we have to know that if
- 20:32Speaker 1: something happens God, there's always something else. God is always
- 20:36Speaker 1: working on something else. If this is denied, if this
- 20:40Speaker 1: is the nay, know that that's greater. If he say
- 20:45Speaker 1: no to this, then know that there's something greater that
- 20:47Speaker 1: He has for you, because He will never deny his child.
- 20:54Speaker 1: He will never deny his child. Practice resilience by affirming
- 20:59Speaker 1: your faith they and embracing the strength that God has
- 21:03Speaker 1: provided you. So I encourage you, guys, allowed this week
- 21:08Speaker 1: to be a week that you focus on the principles
- 21:12Speaker 1: of being intentional about living out the plans that God
- 21:17Speaker 1: has laid out before you. He's laid out plans for me, you, you, you,
- 21:24Speaker 1: and you so no and be inspired by the profound
- 21:30Speaker 1: promise that we find in Jeremiah twenty nine eleven. Again,
- 21:37Speaker 1: I want you, guys to be encouraged. I want you
- 21:40Speaker 1: to know that you have purpose, there is opportunity. All
- 21:46Speaker 1: you have to do is seek out the wisdom, empower
- 21:49Speaker 1: yourself while empowering others, and push on through resilience. That
- 21:56Speaker 1: is our lesson for this morning. I hope you guys

- 25:57Speaker 1: I thank y'all for just just supporting us again. Poetry
- 26:04Speaker 1: is for a minute there we thought it was dying out,
- 26:08Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it just made a rebirth.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Over the last seven years, poetry has really really rebirthed.
- 26:17Speaker 1: And I'm excited about being able to offer opportunities. And
- 26:22Speaker 1: not only that, y'all, I think I have three sets
- 26:26Speaker 1: of poetry books, three series of poetry books, and y'all,
- 26:33Speaker 1: we're gonna be working on our next series. I have
- 26:36Speaker 1: posted information the first book for that series is gonna
- 26:39Speaker 1: drop in June, So if you are a poet, if
- 26:42Speaker 1: you are a spying poet, if you don't know, if
- 26:44Speaker 1: you want to be a poet, or you just got
- 26:46Speaker 1: some words that you want to share, or if you
- 26:48Speaker 1: think that this is what you might want to do,
- 26:50Speaker 1: please reach out. See how you can get involved in
- 26:54Speaker 1: these poetry anthologies, y'all. I have one that's gonna drop
- 26:57Speaker 1: on the thirtieth of April. Yes, it's it's it's this last.
- 27:02Speaker 1: It's pushing it. But y'all, it can be done. It
- 27:05Speaker 1: does only take thirty days to really publish a book.
- 27:07Speaker 1: It don't even take that long. If you know what
- 27:09Speaker 1: you're doing, and you're passionate about what you're doing, and
- 27:12Speaker 1: you're steadfast in what you're doing, you can get a
- 27:15Speaker 1: book published in no time. But for those that are
- 27:19Speaker 1: poets and would like to help me really truly celebrate
- 27:23Speaker 1: National Poetry Awareness Month. Inside of Awakened Versus the Power
- 27:29Speaker 1: from Within. This is you allowing that power that's from
- 27:33Speaker 1: within you to come forth in the work, in the
- 27:36Speaker 1: in the way of words. And it is called the
- 27:40Speaker 1: Awakened Verses. So if you're interested, y'all, there's five sections
- 27:45Speaker 1: inside of this book and it talks on different subjects
- 27:48Speaker 1: talking about community and truly understanding self. So you have
- 27:53Speaker 1: an opportunity to really to allow your words to speak
- 27:55Speaker 1: inside of this anthology. Again, it's called Awakened versus Unleashing
- 28:01Speaker 1: the Power Within, and there's five sections. You get to
- 28:05Speaker 1: submit one poem for each section, up to between one
- 28:10Speaker 1: hundred one hundred and fifty words. With this book, though,
- 28:13Speaker 1: I'm doing something totally different. So I'm asking all of
- 28:18Speaker 1: the contributors to either do aligned by line analyzation of
- 28:27Speaker 1: their poem by just basically breaking down their poem. And
- 28:31Speaker 1: we're gonna do that to it because a lot of
- 28:34Speaker 1: people oftentimes they read poems and now all the time
- 28:39Speaker 1: they understand what the writer is. It's cravating, its relaying
- 28:47Speaker 1: and getting out there. So I think with this book,
- 28:51Speaker 1: I want to do a translation where we translate our poems,
- 28:55Speaker 1: where we break down, we analyze, we we share what
- 29:00Speaker 1: the poem is, about what it means. And I have
- 29:05Speaker 1: started on minds y'all. Excuse me, I got nauseated. Really
- 29:12Speaker 1: I don't know what that was, but excuse me. I'm sorry.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I I got nausea really quick. So just I'm sorry.
- 29:20Speaker 1: I don't know what that was, but I buying that
- 29:23Speaker 1: spirit right now in the name of Jesus. Who I
- 29:31Speaker 1: buy in that spirit right now in the name of Jesus.
- 29:35Speaker 1: No illness, no, nothing should come upon me. In the
- 29:39Speaker 1: name of Jesus. I buy it. Send it back to

- 29:54Speaker 1: of Jesus. You have no mom, you have no authority here.

- 30:03Speaker 1: I rebuke your right now. Father. You say what we
- 30:06Speaker 1: bind on earth to be bind in heaven. So I
- 30:09Speaker 1: bind that spirit right now in the name of Jesus.
