Bag Check: No Excuses · Brain Spa

• 0:01
  You ever try to carry a future with a bag full of excuses?
• 0:06
  Yeah, doesn't fit. Today's Scripture is coming from
• 0:10
  Ephesians chapter #4 verse 15. And this is the ESV, and it says
• 0:16
  rather speaking truth in love, we grow up in every way into Him
• 0:21
  who is the head into Christ. Let's talk about it.
• 0:28
  Let's not sugarcoat it. Sometimes we don't need another
• 0:31
  affirmation. We need accountability.
• 0:35
  Sometimes what's holding us back isn't the lack of talent OR time
• 0:41
  or opportunity. It's the excuse bag we keep
• 0:45
  dragging with us everywhere we go.
• 0:48
  You know the one. The bag filled with the I don't
• 0:51
  have the time, or I'm not ready, or that's not my lane or the
• 0:58
  classic. I'll start when it feels right.
• 1:02
  Truth is, most growth starts where comfort ends.
• 1:07
  You have been called to build, to lead, to write, to teach.
• 1:12
  But the lie that you're not equipped is keeping your gift
• 1:16
  boxed up. Let's flip it.
• 1:19
  What if the fear you're carrying isn't fear, but it's unused
• 1:24
  potential begging to be activated?
• 1:29
  And here's today's production moment.
• 1:31
  Think about it. What if your next breakthrough
• 1:35
  ain't waiting on God? What if it's waiting on you to
• 1:39
  finally put the excuse bag down and move?
• 1:44
  Because the real ones, they don't wait on permission.
• 1:48
  They speak truth to themselves in love, and then they move with
• 1:53
  boldness, even when it's scary. And today's declaration, repeat
• 1:59
  this after me. I'm not waiting on the right
• 2:02
  time. I'm not dragging excuses into my
• 2:07
  purpose. God gave me what I need and I'm
• 2:10
  ready to grow into it. And today's prayer, God, thank
• 2:16
  you for challenging us to grow up in truth, to grow up in
• 2:20
  faith, and to grow up in our actions.
• 2:23
  Help us to unpack every excuse we have been carrying.
• 2:26
  Start the gifts in US remind us that we lack nothing in you, for
• 2:32
  it is in you that we live and move and have our being.
• 2:35
  So we release our fears, our reasons and our limitations.
• 2:40
  We are not playing small anymore and we're going to be all you
• 2:45
  called us to be in our fullness, going to do everything that
• 2:50
  reflects our excellence because it's a reflection of us.
• 2:54
  And I thank you that at every time we come in alignment with
• 2:56
  our ourselves, got to know that this is what you called us to
• 3:00
  do. And that we're not going to
• 3:02
  allow ourselves to shrink and to be small anymore.
• 3:05
  But we're going to stand tall and know that there is no excuse
• 3:09
  in the world that can limit us except for the ones that we
• 3:11
  create for ourselves. And we thank you for this
• 3:14
  replica, for this understanding and empowerment and allowing us
• 3:17
  to move forward with freedom, focus, and faith filled with
• 3:22
  purpose and doing all you called us to do.
• 3:24
  So we thank you for your provision, your prosperity and
• 3:26
  wholeness, and making sure that we're complete in every way
• 3:29
  possible with nothing missing, broken or lacking.
• 3:32
  We thank you, Father, for what you're going to do in and
• 3:34
  through and for us. And it's in the matchless name
• 3:36
  of Jesus. To Christ our King, we do pray,
• 3:39
  Amen. God bless y'all.
• 3:41
  I love you and I hope you have a fantastic day today.
• 3:44
  Y'all take care. One final thought, do a bag
• 3:51
  check today, drop your excuses, pick up your anointing and walk
• 3:56
  into what's already yours.
