How's it going everybody? Welcome to our Masters Academy friends and friends community connect. What we are trying to do through this group is on a weekly basis have a point of connection for all of our aspiring Christian coaches including those who have not even taken that next bold step of getting trained and certified. We don't want to leave you out. we know that you're in process sometimes with those decisions and with God and with and with family and everything else. Knowing where you are in terms of your process and your and your calling is always super important. And maybe you'll discover that along the way. And so what we always want to do when we join these, they're a little bit more informal. Obviously, we make uh we make the design of things intentionally a little bit different and a little more intimate. you know, when we do a lot of times you guys see me in a context of a weekend training, a Tuesday, a Monday night, and that always looks a little bit more formal. Um, I have an endgame with these is to see a group of transformed coaches who absolutely know who they are. They know that their father in heaven is good and that there is a mandate, calling, and assignment on their life that we are all partnering with towards. And a lot of times when um when it comes to the things of calling and assignment and some of those other things, a lot of times in Christian community, we haven't seen that modeled very well. We do it in business though, don't we? We have business communities, we have real estate communities, we have it for everything else. But for some reason, we don't really have that, at least in the church, modeling uh coming alongside people and helping them discover what it is that they're called to do and also walking alongside them to uh to do that. And so, this is going to be the context of what we do because I believe that we are entrusted with something really significant. And I'm going to, you know, I'm one of those people. I always want my na my name to be called by God when he needs something done. And that's what I think that I'm doing and that's what I believe that I'm helping other people do and specifically spirit-ledd Christian coaches which we are all aspiring to be able to hear God's voice um for our own lives but also uh for our clients and teaching our clients really in a disciplehip kind of way how they can remove the blocks the bad lenses to see God accurately so that they can actually do everything that they're called to do. Hey, let's do this as we are um as we're beginning. Please introduce yourself. Tell everybody where you're joining us from. Your name, if it's not obvious on the Zoom, you know, sometimes your name isn't iPhone 367 or something like that. You actually have a name. So, if you would share your name, where you're joining us from, and uh and where God has you right now in your coaching journey. I guess I'll go first. Hi Paul. Um I'm Joan Raymond calling or joining everybody from Bakersfield, California. And um I uh was in the first cohort of Masters Academy. And right now I'm using what I learned in my group coaching um with that group where I'm using some of the tools. But I'm still um I have some questions and things about starting teaching because I also purchased the um whatever you call it. Sorry, my brain um this morning. The um to be able to teach and train other Christian coaches. So, I'm kind of stuck on that part, but um I am using what I'm what I learned right now with my groups and it's really great facilitator. Thank you, Justin. I just had breakfast and woke up, so the tea has not kicked in yet. Well, it's good to see you, Joan. Uh good morning everyone. I am Justin. I am from Springfield, Mass. Uh also was in the first cohort. Uh so excited to be here. Um I I posted kind of where I am in my coaching practice. you know, I was able to get a client and have seen so much transformation uh in this individual's life uh from this aspect. But just recently uh just kind of seeing it from a perspective that I have been looking at this as optional, right, as kind of a a side gig. and God really kind of convicted me and saying that you know what you see as optional I have viewed as your calling. Um so really you know uh shout out to Paul uh for that that mentor Monday. uh even though it wasn't uh from the Christian view uh it it definitely gave me uh quite the conviction and I think that's the other kind of hard problem that I'm seeing in this area is trying to bring in those values the the spiritled approach to the the regular coaching approach. I don't know if that makes sense but still being able to ask those spiritled questions from a regular life coaching but it's just growth. So, thank you for having awesome. Anyone else? If you're just joining us, we're just uh doing intros. So, if you can introduce yourself to everybody where you're joining us from and where you are in your journey with God in uh in this coaching thing. Also, if you've got like, you know, you can use that time to also share a testimony. If there's something amazing that you want to share, it does not have to be specifically coaching. Um, but let's hear it. Hey Paul, this is Trina. Long time no see. And Joan, I was just thinking about you the other day. I needed to reach out to you cuz I just wrote a book and you was the first person that came to my mind. Um, Paul, I was in one of your master classes uh probably about 2 three years ago and when I seen this come across my email, I knew it wasn't nobody but God because I actually just surrendered wholeheartedly December of last year and I stepped out on faith and um March 28th was my last day in corporate America and I felt like this is the best decision I have made in my whole entire life. So, um I have been working hard getting my website together and getting all that good stuff together and finding my purpose and calling to be a healing life coach. And so, I'm in the beginning phases and I will be taking this next um program that you got because I think I looked at and it's uh pretty awesome. So, uh he has me out here writing journals. I've written a um a workbook journal called Heal the Hurt. Um, and so I've got and my, uh, business name is push now, which stands for pick up someone hurting. And so, um, got a lot going on. And like I said, I'm just in the beginning phases right now, just kind of getting things lined up. So, he has me working on some, um, fasting journals um, to match the fasting guides that's on my website. So, got quite a bit of stuff going on, and I'm really looking forward to, um, assisting people and helping them heal the hurt. So, I'm looking forward to it. Yay. That's so good. Hello everyone. My name is Sherice Winford and um this is new to me and it caught my attention. Um I believe I saw this on Facebook, but I am a strategy coach. um a career strategy coach and right now I'm getting certified um as a life coach and in doing so with my um well I go I travel state to state to meet my clients in person and I just been inspired and I love God and I just want to know how to help people and help my clients that I do interact with. So, this is the beginning of my journey and I just want to make sure that I'm implicating um God cuz he's working through my life. And I just thought that maybe this would be a good starting point so I can learn more and to be able to um walk in my calling cuz I do believe that I um that I am called to help people. I've been doing it for several years, over 15 years, but I just never got paid for it. People call me out to speak on certain topics, more in the recovery aspect, and I've been doing this for um quite some time. So, I just want to get certified and make sure that I'm helping people in the correct way. So, um this is the beginning of my journey as a strategy coach and I'm just getting started. And this caught my attention when I saw it. I believe I saw it on um a social media site. So, I'm interested in learning more from you, Paul. Awesome. Thank you. Awesome. Anybody else? Share your name, where you're joining us from. If you've got any cool testimonies, what God's doing through uh in and around your life, whether that's happening in your coaching practice or not, go for it. and um and let's hear from you. Uh my name's Nicole Delaney. Um I just found you actually. It's kind of funny. Um so I have a funny story. Last week I was um well, let me start off by saying like I've been in a really strange season for several years now. I walked away from a career in advertising and marketing and was following the Lord and he kind of led me into a wilderness season. um he led me to start a podcast on the wilderness just not too long ago and I've just been trying to figure out something doesn't feel completely aligned and I've been trying to figure out okay what is this and um he had shown me in a dream about coaching a while back like I knew I was supposed to be a coach but not really sure exactly what it looks like and he started to give me a bit of a vision for it um and so I I was looking into another coaching program it was a Christian coaching program and I was ready to do the training. I actually just backed out of another course that I was working on on Tuesday nights and Thursday nights um because I felt like I wasn't supposed to do that anymore. And so I was looking at this other option and they didn't have anything available until uh November. And I was like, "But I'm ready to do it now, Lord. I don't I don't understand." So I was praying about it. I felt like he said, "I have something better for you." So I start searching. I'm like, "I don't know what I'm searching for. I'm looking online just to see what's out there." I come across your website and at first I'm like this seems like really inexpensive compared to the other program I was going to do and I don't know is this legit? I'm researching a bit more and then I found the Mastery um Masters Academy and I was like this sounds right up my alley and I'm like but is this a real Christian program? Is this really spiritled? Let me let me check this out. So I was watching the first video and then I thought you look familiar. Why do you look familiar to me? And I went, I wonder if he was on my friend Eric Frederickson's podcast. And I go and I'm searching through and I found you. I think you were in like November that he interviewed you. And I had just interviewed Mayana on my podcast um just last month. And so I reached out to Maya. I'm like, "Do you know Paul?" Like this whole thing. And she tells me that she knows you really well. And um so I was like, "Oh my gosh, I feel like God led me here." And so I'm so excited. I don't really know what this looks like. You know, I don't know exactly where I'm going necessarily. I have some idea, but um I'm just excited for how he brought me here. And this feels like a better option all around for what I need and and the direction that I need to go. And so I'm really excited. Awesome. Yeah, they are the best people in the world. Eric and I go really far back. And I won't uh and I could tell you guys some crazy crazy stories uh from back in the day uh with uh with Eric and I. And Eric was in the very beginning when we first launched Life Coach Training Institute got trained and certified way back then. Um so that was just one step in his uh in his journey for as long as I've uh as long as I've known him. But I remember when he told me um we prayed over him. I never forget this. We prayed over him at a gathering one time and I told him I said I said uh Eric I feel like it is his birthday. We always pray over people for their birthdays and I said Eric I feel like God wants you to know he's going to grow you up five years in the next year and your life's not going to look anything like it does right now. Uh and then as he tells the story all hell broke loose after that. But the craziest thing that happened is that with when one year he wasn't even dating anybody. He didn't even know Mayana. They had a baby one year later. So in that time frame he meets her uh we do the I did the wedding we went to um Baloa Park in San Diego and uh and with just a few of our friends. I mean it was so fast. It was so crazy and then you know and so it really was like God like completely did such a transformation in his life over that time and uh and he's a dynamic phenomenal coach and they they recently moved back to Ohio and God's just doing such cool stuff. Um, but he does, if anybody's interested in looking at what he does, if you look up, um, Eric Frederickson, um, Recovering Reality, I think is the name of his podcast. And, um, so he did, we did a little interview. Well, he mostly just sat there and listened to me for about an hour or something like that on a podcast because he said, "You think we could do a 20-minute podcast?" I said, "That is impossible because if you and I start talking, it could go for hours." And he was like, "Well, maybe we can get it to 30 minutes." And it didn't happen. So, I think he literally took almost the entire thing and put it on there. But it's like an hour and 20 minutes, I think. Like, nobody's going to listen that long. Even my own wife would be like, "Oh my gosh." You know, so yeah, I met them in Florida. Um, but I've I've kept in touch with Maya since they moved back to Ohio. So, that is so good. Awesome. Anybody else? I'll read a couple of these. Elizabeth in Southern California, Inland Empire, I've opened my coaching business and even have clients. Um, thank you Jesus. I graduated from Mast's Academy New Year's New Year's Eve. Um, I'm not going to try. I'm just going to say Z from Ethiopia. I don't want to mispronounce it. Beginner in uh beginner in coaching. Angelica from Liberia. um just transition to coaching. So this is preparation, learning and growth for me. I've been helping people for years but not formally. Chantel from South Africa. I'm an aspiring spiritled uh coach currently in a long transition season. Corey uh from Washington in preparation phase before launching as a coach. Anybody else testimonies? Whatever. However God got you in the room, it might be a really cool story. It probably is. Hello guys, my name is Ninoska. I'm from New Jersey. So, I'm working on building my website and I wanted to start my business with helping people break down strongholds. But, um, my pastor in my church has put me in charge of like for all of New Jersey. I'm leading the entrepreneur business team. And I thought I was going to be done with that. um for the summer and he's like, "Okay, we're going to another level where our head um pastor um wants to take the entrepreneur team to another level and he wants me to lead that and he's helping he wants to support me to getting more of the community and the church to sign up for our um bi-weekly meetings. So, I'm really passionate about talking about business and really creative with that part. So, I'm like, "Okay, do I stick to strongholds or are you calling me to the business aspect?" So, at this point, I'm like, "Oh my god, what do I do? Holy Spirit, talk to me." That's awesome. Well, you'll find the strongholds in business. Oh, man. That's so good. Hey, and and there is something in there. I just want to make you guys aware of this. Um, when we're talking about stuff, we're not just using words today. So, if there's something that starts resonating in your in your heart, then you know that you're in the right place and that God's speaking. When when uh Jesus talked to the guys on the road to Emmas, they weren't aware they were walking with him. And then later when after he revealed himself, we were like, we're we're such dummies. Weren't our hearts burning within us? So the heart burn is Holy Spirit speaking and it is the anointing, the calling, the mandate and assignment in your heart. So when you hear these things, it's really important. I feel it stirring up in me. Grab a hold of that thing that is stirring something in you right now. And it also means that God's got something for you today that when he stirs these things in us is another reason why we come together. He stirs that thing in us of what we're called to do. Gives us increases our faith to actually do it. But that if you've seen the breakthrough, if somebody's just ahead, then that also means that you're in the room and you have access to the same breakthrough that other people are getting, you know, and doing this thing. So, just want to make you guys aware of that. That's Holy Spirit. That's not heartburn if your heart's burning. Okay. Anybody else? Hi everyone. Uh this is Lena Floim speaking. I am uh calling from Czech Republic. Um I have a Dutch name actually. So I moved 10 years ago from the Netherlands to Czech Republic. And uh I have uh I started with the jump start like two weeks ago and um because I have created a course about rejection. Um and I want to have a coaching element to that and I was already certificated in Czech Republic for mindset coach but I want to have more Christian approach to it. So that's that's why I'm here. Awesome. Beautiful. Anybody else? Good afternoon. This is Sandy. Hi everybody from New Jersey. Hi J. Sandy. Hi Justin. Hey Paul. Um, I just want to say that um, I did take the coaching certification a while ago, but I took the um, Christian certification and right after I got everything set up and clients and whatnot and my my LLC, I was diagnosed with stage four cancer. And after that, it's been since since last October. But I will say that, you know, God is good in that even though I haven't been uh haven't had any clients, I will say that he still uses me to be a testimony of his grace. Um I met a gentleman, Dr. James Henry, from a program, this organization called Lifegivers, Hope for Life. And according to the scriptures like John 10:10, they help people who have been given a um a diagnosis or whatever, you know, help you plug into God's word because we believe that God can heal. And someone mentioned me to him and he reached out to me and wants me to be a part of his team. So, in the meantime, uh while I'm healing, I'm believing God for complete restoration, um we're encouraging others according to the word of God, how to how to stand on God's word and receive his healing because God still works miracles. It's just that we have to believe that he does. So, that's where I am right now. And I do need prayer today because I I had chemo last week and I had them like lower the medication because I said if this stuff is like killing my body like why are we doing this so they actually lowered it and I was in bed. I've been in bed now since Friday. The pain was so intense like the neuropathy at my feet and everything. But I said, "God, I still believe you. I'm not moved by what I feel or what I see, but I'm moved by the Holy Spirit and the power in your word." So that's why I am today. Way to go. Way to go, Sandy. And we will be praying for about everything today, including sickness. We're not afraid of it. We saw people get healed last week, which is great. It's a normal part of following Jesus as well. Uh and so, uh, so we're going to do that. Here's what I want to encourage you to do. Jump inside the chat widget. if there's anything that we want to pray and come into agreement for today uh any area of your life and you can be as vulnerable as you want to be uh when it comes to that. Um and we're going to go for it. Before we uh before we jump into that, does anybody else want to be like, "Hey, um you want to introduce yourself? Give us a quick testimony or something, tell us about you. We want to know who you are and also how we can partner with you. Yes, my name is Margo Aguenu and um um I just got your email um not some few minutes ago and I decided to come and I feel very inspired that you're doing this um sharing your faith and gathering people of like minds. I'm in Dallas, Texas. Um I just also started out this my life coaching and you know transformational coaching and speaking. I felt that leading in my heart to you know just branch out and help lift others up and this is a work of faith for me and I'm trusting God to move from this foundational state of putting things together to actually having clients. Um, so I feel inspired by everyone here and you especially Paul for doing this and um, thank you for having me. Awesome. So good. And uh, next cohort of Masters Academy. I'll say something briefly about it later. May 15th, there's only like 14 spots left. So if you guys want to get in on that, I would this week. I uh I know we're going to fill up and we got to figure out I could actually take more people than that, but it really makes it um it really makes it hard once we get to a certain number. Um so we'll have to figure out what we need to do for cohorts in the future when they uh when they get to uh we didn't even promote Masters Academy over the last month until like last week we finally sent an email and we were already almost full. Um, so, um, so if you're wanting to get in on this cohort, May 15th is our start date, but we're probably going to fill up this week. So, I just would jump in and we'll say more about that u about that in a minute. Um, just for your daily practices, I stuck this link inside of the chat widget. Um, download that. It's just a daily declaration. And what we're always trying to do and what we're trying to do as spiritledd coaches is we're trying to help our clients posture themselves properly so that they are hearing from God and that they and we have to understand that the limits that we always have as we always say as coaches is always the lens by which we see ourselves, see our circumstances, see other people and see the world. On a spiritual level we understand that it first starts with how we see God. The way that we see God and understand him paints a picture of everything. And matter of fact, everybody has some picture of God in mind. As a matter of fact, what I always say is when um whenever you see someone, they always show you who they think God the Father is. And that because they will always look just like him. In the same way that Jesus said, "When you see me, you see the father." It is absolutely true with other believers as well. However they act, if they act harsh, costic, impatient, very religious, very demanding, maybe sometimes mean, maybe they uh are hopeless or whatever, there's some kind of a disconnect and there's some kind of estrangement and there's some way that they see the father that is changing their perception and is giving them a perception of how they see themselves, how they see their circumstances, and all of those things. So, that little um graphic that I just sent you guys, you can put it on your phone. And what I would say is to do it numerous times a day. What are And you can look biblically on what all of those declarations are, but what we're trying to do is we're trying to have a disciplined mind and to start having an ongoing focus that we're always in connection with him. So, uh, with that, I want to give you a little bit of exhortation. What we're going to do is that every week that we're together, most weeks we're just going to be doing, uh, doing prayer and testimonies, and it's how we'll do it. Um, this week was actually the first uh is actually our real kickoff week. We did it last week kind of last minute. Uh, but this week's a kickoff week and what I'm going to try to do in the future is I'm going try to have a little bit of an exhortation because what I want to do is I want to especially our coaches have that have gone through Masters Academy. We're a work in progress as all of us understood when that we went through the program together. It's like, oh, I realize I've got work in me that I've got to do as I'm helping people. But we're in a work in progress as we're helping people. Not until one day after I click check off all these boxes and I can help people. No, actually in the process in our own transformation, we're helping people and we're doing those things. We're not going to we're not going to come into fullness in this lifetime. So, we need to be okay with the fact that we're always in process. And the happy thing that we get to say is, "I'm not the man that I was a year ago. I'm not the same man I was 6 months ago. I'm not the same man I was three months ago. Matter of fact, I would say those of you who went through Mast's Academy last year, I know I'm not the same man that I was then. And what's true as well is that you're not the same man or woman because we're coming into an ongoing revelation of who God is, his goodness for us, who we are as his kids, and what his plans and purposes are. That's always ongoing. And it uh and it's amazing. So, as we position ourselves to pray, I want to give you um what I felt like I wanted to talk about specifically was what does it mean to actually come into agreement? Because we're getting ready to come into agreement. We're about to have unity about some things that we're praying um praying about. But here's a scripture that I want to show you and it's from Genesis 11 1-9. And you're probably familiar with this story. It says, "The whole world had one language and a common speech. And as people moved eastward, they found a plane in Shannar and settled there. And they said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and break them thoroughly. And they used brick instead of stone and tar for mortar." And then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that uh so that we may make a name for ourselves, otherwise we'll be scattered over the face of the whole earth." But the Lord said, but the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. And the Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing." Oh, I realize I had the wrong screen on for you guys. Then nothing I'll read that last line because it's the most important line probably that I'm highlighting. The Lord came down to see the city and the in the tower the people were building and the Lord said if as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. God is a really big boy. He knows himself and he is not unconfident about himself. He's not fearful. He doesn't make rash decision rash decisions about anything. He's fully confident in himself and secure in himself. But when he saw these people come into oneness and come into agreement and they were not after the purposes of God, they were really after making a name for themselves. And he needed to come and get involved himself. And just as you see highlighted in in that scripture, if as one people speaking the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan will be impossible for them. God's saying this about people who are who are actually far apart from him, who are not following him, that out of their own agreement, out of their own unity, that God's saying these people who aren't even infused with my spirit, that they are getting ready to do impossible things. And there's no telling what kind of evil or whatever would have been unleashed on the earth had God not intervened in that situation. But when I was growing up, they would always just say, you know, God wanted people to scatter. He just changed their languages and moved them around. But I want you to see these these words that you see there that say one language and a common speech. It's not that they were just all speaking English or something like that. And we all know living in the United States or or anywhere in the world, just because you speak a language does not mean that there is agreement and that there's unity. But see there's something supernatural that is going beyond. It's not just language and it's not just words. When there is a common speech, it means that when we come to a place of literally having the same vision that we see the same things and we rally around an intention with that. And I'm not talking newagy uh law of attraction stuff. I'm saying that when we have the same vision, when we see the same things, when we truly rally around that thing, that there's something that's supernatural that gets unleashed and it can't be. And what we're talking about is not something that happens just simply on a natural level. Most people and most Christians are western-minded and they live on a very natural level about things that whatever happens, they're just kind of stuck. if it's raining, they're gonna get rained on. If uh if there's CO in the air, the whole family's going to get COVID, like whatever, like those kinds of things. And they just kind of like whatever happens happens. And maybe it's actually God's will that whatever is happening is happening. And they believe in a sovereign idea of God in that way. There's some people though who live at another level and understand that there are that there are supernatural things that are going on. there's another realm. And matter of fact, we understand that the realm that exists in the physical is only because God spoke it into existence. And that the spiritual is not simply in heaven, but it's here. And so, there's a lot of people who have increasingly understood that it's like, well, maybe if I say the right things, if I speak the right things, and if I pray enough and everything else, maybe I can get something to happen. But there's actually another level. There's actually another level when you realize that the place that you take up space in the spirit realm is actually in heaven. When you realize that you actually the day that you gave your life to Jesus, Jesus was not simply a substitute for you at the cross. That's not what the Bible says. What the Bible says is that when Jesus died on the cross, he died with you. And that when he resurrected, you resurrected with him. So, he wasn't over here doing something separate from you. God the Father was in Jesus reconciling the entire cosmos to himself. That's what scripture says. And what he did to do that is that when he died, we died with him. And so God did this perfect thing. He put Jesus inside you. He put you inside of the loop of all of his promises and his purposes and everything else. So instead of being people who are like, "Well, all of this stuff that's happening that's bad in the world and things that aren't working out. Well, it must be God's will." No. And it also wasn't like, "God, will you please do something?" And you're whipping up a storm trying to pray and get God to come down and do something. What we understand is is that once Jesus came to live inside us, he also he did two things. Jesus and the entire Godhead came to live inside us. Second thing that happened is that Jesus came down and he scooped us up and he seated us in heavenly places. You can find all this is biblical. I'm just spouting out a lot of scripture to you right now in terms of paraphrases. So what's happening is that we're existing in two realms right now presently. And so is Jesus. He's actually here. We're not trying to get him to come somewhere. And and that means that there's a lot of prayers that we pray as Christians that are kind of illegal from the standpoint of you ever been in church and heard somebody say, "God, will you just come? God, will you just, you know, what?" And we we pray these prayers and there was one day that I was walking uh it was before I went full-time in coaching. I remember I was walking uh on a break time and I was uh and and Holy Spirit started speaking to me and he says he goes, "Paul, do you know that no matter what Jesus was doing, if he was building furniture, if he was healing the sick, do you realize that he never stopped being my son?" And I was like, "Okay, yeah." And he's like, and and Holy Spirit was so funny because I could hear the tone in his voice. And he says, "And Paul, you never stop being my son." Uh, and I'm like, "Okay." And he said, "So, I want you to stop praying things that Jesus wouldn't have prayed." You know, Jesus would have never said, "God, will you please come now? God, I really hope that you do something when I preach this message, when I reach out my hand right now or whatever." See, the the Jesus understood that he and the father were one, that he was a dearly loved son, that he was pleased to the father, and that there was this oneness. And what Jesus prayed is that Father, I pray that they will be one as we are one. What what is he trying to get us to do? Well, we are one because when Jesus died on the cross and resurrected and we received him, now we are in oneness. What he's trying to get us to do is to quit living disconnected from one another. Quit dis living disconnected and and clueless about who we are and who he is that he could never leave or forsake us. like truly and the other thing is is that he wants to us to get on the same page with the same vision because there are supernatural things he's trying to release and we keep living living by earthly wisdom. You know that for every one of you we should scripture talks about that even if there's famine in the world that God's people will be provided for and taken for him but but taken care of. And sometimes our our our economy in our household seems to follow what's happening in the world. That's not okay. Whatever is happening in the world, we are actually here on a mission with a purpose, with a calling, with every resource in heaven to be able to get it done. So there's probably things that we're praying for that Jesus would have never prayed for. he would have never asked for because he knew that he was a dearly loved son and he expected because God the father is a good father that he would provide for him. Here's the thing I want to tell you as well. God loves you with the same nature and measure of love that he has for Jesus. Jesus didn't make you a sinner saved by grace. And we've heard that our entire life. So that sometimes we think that we are um undeserving or we believe that we are disqualified from having things. But the only thing that qualifies you is Jesus. And Jesus gave you his inheritance. This is what being a joint heir of Christ means that the inheritance that was for Jesus, he legally gave you every part of it. And he can do that. You know why? because he lives in you. So everything that comes to everything comes to us to us through Jesus and to him. That's what it means. He he made a promise to us and he sealed that promise up with everything that Jesus would do. So there's a real problem if we pray from disconnection, pray from estrangement, you're never going to have confidence that any of those prayers are ever going to be answered. Now fast forward. But I want to show you what happens when uh uh and we'll pick up with the rest of that. Uh come let us go down and confuse their language so they will not be able to understand one another. So what was he doing is that he was coming in and he was he was uh changing not only their language but what ends up happening as a byproduct of this is that there ends up being a disconnection and a division amongst the people and then they scattered. But watch what happens in Acts two. I don't know if you guys have ever read this like this, but it says, "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were in one accord in one place." One accord in one place. What is it saying? Not just the same language. And not just simply they were in the same building, but they had been for the last 10 days up to then praying. And you know what was coming into alignment? They were coming into alignment to have the same vision because what God told us to do is let this mind be in you which is also in Jesus. That was constantly fix your eyes on Jesus and have the same mind about him, about yourself, about your circumstances, about other people, and about the world. If you don't have the same mind as his, then you're going to have division. That means that you and Jesus have a different vision and a different picture and a different way of perceiving whatever is going on in your life. So that what happened over those 10 days when they came together is that they all came together and they came into agreement about who God the Father was, who Jesus is, and what his mission was for them and that he had all resources in heaven to do what he needed to do. Jesus promised some big things to those people who followed him. He said, "You, these signs will follow those that believe. You will do as I do." Jesus was the light of the world. Jesus looked at them and made an identity statement. He says, "You are the light of the world. As I have been sent, so you're being sent. I've come here to reconcile all people in the world back to uh back to God the Father. You are being sent into the world. Go into the world. preach the gospel and reconcile people. So, we literally I'm not saying that we are Jesus. I am saying because we're created obviously. I am saying we take on everything that Jesus had. And this is why we can have great confidence in terms of what we pray for. But again, if you think you're a sinner saved by grace, which is not what Paul ever called us. Matter of fact, all of us are saints. If you read scripture, you don't get sainted. That's part of your identity. When you know that in yourself and there's great confidence in it, then you live a life that looks very different. If you think you're a sinner saved by grace, you know what I'm going to look for in your life? You're probably going to be very inconsistent in your life. You're probably still going to be stuck in sin. You're still going to be pretty unconfident. You're pretty much going to be like hopeless a lot of situations. You're probably going to be wondering, I'm praying this prayer. Is it even getting as high as a ceiling? Is God hearing me? Or anything else? That person, the book of James says, should never expect to get anything that they pray and ask for because they are like this. Their prayer lives are like that. If you've ever found yourself praying and having great faith, but then you don't pray about it for the next three or four months, you know, because you got hopeless or you lost expectation, this is a lens problem. It's an arangement with you and God the Father. It means because all roads lead to the father means that you're seeing him wrong in some kind of way. So I'll listen to people and this is what we learn to do as coaches. We listen to people and the words that they use. They will always tell you how they see the father and what they believe is in the way. This past weekend I was doing this ministry event and the guy who was um leading the worship stuff and everything else, he comes to me afterwards and he was just like, "Man, that was so hard." And the team was like, "Man, it was so hard. people weren't open and everything else. And I was sitting over there in the corner the entire time saying, "This is much easier when what they're making things right now, but they're so certain that these people have closed hearts to what God is doing that now they're working really hard and trying to make something happening and happen and nothing happen." Matter of fact, during the thing, I had a song that came to mind and I came to them and I said, "Hey, uh, hey, do this song." And he was like, "Ah, you know, there this is such a hard room. It's so close." I was like, "No, do this song. Watch what happens in the room and everybody's gonna come together. They did that song. Not that I'm all fancy or anything else. It's knowing what your place is and knowing what the father's heart is. And he's always trying to draw people. They did that song. The room busted open and God did some really really cool stuff. It's all about perception though. It's all of uh it's it's all about how we perceive stuff. But God's trying to give us a perspective that changes everything. So when we read the rest of the scripture, what happened when they came into oneness? They had the same picture. They had the same vision and the same intention. Suddenly a uh suddenly the sound blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they are sitting. And they saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. And all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them. So here's what ends up happening. A lot of people are always praying for God to come down. A lot of people are praying for revival or hoping that if they repent of enough sin or if they fast enough or if they do enough things that maybe they can get God motivated enough to do something. Problem is is that that's that's an Old Testament approach to things. That's seeing God off at a distance as though we've got to conjure him up and perform enough. Matter of fact, that's actually more along occultic worship. All of those people back in the Old Testament, they would cut themselves with knives. They would sacrifice their children. They would do all kinds of stuff. And God one by one started showing him the world what the father was like. When Abraham brought Isaac up at the top of the mountain, he thought he was going to be killing his kid. And God's like, "I didn't tell you to kill your kid, but you assume that." See, he never says in there, "I want you to kill your kid." But he thought, because this is what all the other gods want, and he says, 'I'm not like other gods. He said that constantly while they're doing all of this other stuff to get their gods to maybe stirred up and do something for them. God had one lamb, not beaten up or anything else for an entire like couple million people. Matter of imagine what kind of faith it took to sacrifice one lamb humanely just cutting its throat and and it dying for an entire nation of people to be forgiven for an entire year. And we don't even have confidence that Jesus sacrifice makes makes us guilt-free and shamefree for an entire lifetime. We can't even get through the day without feeling it. So who's speaking to us? is his sacrifice and his resurrection not a better one because we could just we should have just kept killing lambs and at least you could be guiltree for a year. So something's off here. So when we're praying and trying to get God to come down, we're missing the point that he's actually with us. There was a revival that broke out. I don't know if you guys are aware of it. There was a revival that broke out and thousands of people gave their lives to Jesus and a ground swell of the gospel went out. And not only that, but all kinds of crazy stuff took place as a result of it. Signs and wonders, miracles, everything else. This is it right here. See, when Jesus died, resurrected, and he sent Holy Spirit, that meant revival happens for us every day of our life. You never are lacking anything. You have every resource that you need. He's made you a partaker of the divine nature. So, we keep waiting on things to happen and waiting on things to happen. It already happened. But if you have a picture of revival, meaning well, God's kind of like, "Oh, I'm finally going to open my hands to these people on earth. I'm finally going to listen to their cries." Then you don't understand who the father is. See, Israel saw a shadow of who God was, but they didn't really know him. Jesus said to the religious, he said, "You you think you know God because you know the scriptures and here I am the scriptures that testify to me and you don't recognize me." He said, "If you want the clearest picture of who the father is, you're looking at them right now. There is not good cop, bad cop. There is not angry father and happy Jesus or anything else. There is just a oneness and unity of father, son, holy spirit." And and in scripture, the ultimate revelation of God is father. And the ultimate revelation of Jesus was the son. It says over 200 times he called God father. And he told his disciples to call him that. And where coming out of a religion where they wouldn't even say his name, how scandalous is that? Is to call him aba, to call him daddy. And it said that Jesus was called the son over 200 times. That's really really important. It's important because how we what we call someone and how we see him and see ourselves is everything. And Jesus knew first and foremost most he was a dearly loved son. He was pleasing not because he taught and got everything right. He had 30 years of just being intimate with the father before he ever did a single miracle or preached a sermon. Should tell us something. It should tell us if we're waning in confidence, if we're still dealing with guilt and shame, you're never going to have confidence in your life, you're never going to believe that your prayers are going to be answered. That there's work to be done in intimacy with God. And our big brother shows us the way. Not by fathing it up and not by biting our lips and trying to make something happen. See, Jesus said this and and it actually did take place. If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, move from here to there and it will be it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. So remember old testament he had to come down because they got in unity and oneness and because he said nothing will be impossible for them. I got to stop them. But now motivated by what God wants and actually having his vision, unity comes. The power of Holy Spirit flows through because we're all on the same page. We see God rightly. We are motivated and have an ambition for him. And so what ends up happening? He brings languages back. What was taken, he willingly gives those gifts to his people. And now what was promised by Jesus is that now nothing is going to be impossible for you. If you have impossible situations in your life right now, then you need to start seeing yourself rightly as a son because Jesus said nothing will be impossible for you. And he actually meant it. I hear a lot of people because they don't believe that Jesus actually meant what he said. Oh, he didn't really mean that you're going to do greater things. He didn't really mean nothing will be impossible. And so they downgrade what Jesus did to fit a narrative of living a life with a ceiling on it. and with walls all around. And that's not okay because your life doesn't look like the life that Jesus said to make it smaller to make other people feel better about it. That will only deal with your pain and suffering for a day to try to quell some of your disappointment. But you will never be unleashed on this planet like you were called to do. You were made for more. And you got to quit playing small because Jesus paid too high price, too high of a price for us to live half of a gospel or in most cases about 10% of the gospel. So let's understand what oneness and agreement is. Oneness and agreement is is really this. It's not just tolerating people. I think a lot of times we think in church that oh we're praying for oneness and we want agreement. It's not just tolerating people. As a matter of fact, it's not even just attending the same church or the same denomination. It's not agreeing on the same thing. Because what happens a lot of times is that people think that unity comes out of believing that you worship the same way or you believe the same thing or I go to this church because we all believe the same thing. I'm not saying that that's not that's not important. I'm just saying that that's not what oneness and agreement is because Jesus is saying I want them to be one like we are one. I want them. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. You have access to the mind of Christ. What if a group of people, what if you just found one person who saw things like Jesus sees them and you partnered with them? What would actually get unleashed in your life? So it's not just agreeing on doctrine. It's not it it means that you actually share the same vision which unleashes the ability to act in agreement. When we see what he sees, then we do what he does. Imagine this community and this is what I want for our coaches on a Monday that we can become people who who who uh begin to see what he sees so that we can do what what he does. And if we can see with the same common vision of a good father and of what he's actually desiring to do, then it will unleash un uh unseen ability like what has never been seen on this earth up to now. By vision, we're not simply talking about getting a prayer answered. When I say that today, we're talking about a singular vision of the character and nature of God the Father. Jesus said this. Suppose you have a friend and you go at midnight and you say, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread. A friend of mine on a journey has come to me and I have no food to offer him. And suppose the one inside answers, don't bother me. The door is already locked and my children are and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything." I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity. Remember those words, your shameless audacity, he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be open to you. For everyone who asks receives. The one who seeks finds. And and to the one who knocks, the door will be open. Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, we'll give him a scorpion. If then you are evil know and know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? For so long when I heard the scripture, it sounded like, well, what you got to do? You just have to keep pestering God because he doesn't want to give you anything and just and just keep knocking. That's not who God the Father is. Matter of fact, he's saying that's not what I'm like. Evil people, you will wear them out and they will do something. Your father in heaven is not evil. Your earthly fathers and mothers um you always know what their will is, don't you? How do you know that? Because you grew up with them. You lived in relationship with them. And if I came to you and I said, "Your dad just gave me um $100." And you'd be like, "Yeah, that really actually sounds like my dad. That's totally something he'd do." or he's like, "Dad, you did not meet my dad then because he would never do that." If I said, "Man, your mom said this." And you'd be like, "That sounds like my mom." Or I said, "You know what? Your mom told me." And you're like, "No, you did not meet my mom." Or you're just flat out lying because I know my I know my mom. Oh, your dad told me that he wants to uh he wants to work together and do this. And you'd say, "Uh, no, that doesn't sound like my dad at all." Like, do you even know my dad? Do you have something confused here? See, we understand by by relationship. We know our parents well enough here on earth that we always know what their will is. We know what their character and their nature is towards us and towards the world. And we could not be convinced otherwise. Relationship taught us something. Now, will God the Father, one of his children should be never never be praying, if it be thy will, heal this person. It's not what Jesus told you to do. When Jesus was ascending to heaven, he didn't say, "Here's the way I want you to pray. If it be thy will, go out and heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, but make sure that you check in and make sure it's my will." He says, "No, go do these things." Jesus was very black and white. He was very clear and he didn't leave a bunch of gray areas in these things. Just because something doesn't happen does not mean it's not God's will. How do I know that? Because scripture says if uh it is not God is not willing that anyone should perish. So if people but people are perishing every day. What does that mean? It means it's things are happening that are not God's will. He's not in exhaustive control. What he did do is that he did leave sons and daughters of God here on the planet to reflect accurately heaven. And that there are things that are happening on this world that we are supposed to partner with him to what scripture says prove the will of God to test and approve the will of God. So there's some things that are God's will that are not happening because we're off over here like not knowing who we are or who our dad is or who Jesus is. So, we're just living on this level like, well, maybe that sickness, maybe God sent them that sickness or whatever. Maybe that financial misfortune is something that they did and God doesn't want to help them. This is the way we think with practical human wisdom that is an estrangement from God the Father. Here's what we all know. If you are a good a good father, if your kid needs something, a father provides. if my kid forgets their lunchbox, I'm going to bring it to school, not be like, I want them to learn a lesson. And you guys would be like, well, that's expected because that is the minimum for a good father is to do that. I'm going to get my kid up and make sure they get to school if they slept past the alarm. I'm going to make sure that my kid is able to eat every day and that they have warm clothes, that we have air conditioning during the summer. Like, whatever I can provide, I'm going to go out and do that. And you guys would all say, "Well, that's a minimum standard. That's not topshelf parenting or being a dad. That's just the minimal." Well, why are we why don't we think God of God the Father good enough to do beyond the minimal? And most Christians just think he's going to do the minimal when he's trying to do extraordinary things. But see, if we think if we're coming in, we're about to pray in a little bit, but if half the room is like, I think God just wants to do minimal things. I think he just wants to meet my needs. So, I'll hear coaches even say this, man. I just want to make just enough money to be able to take care of me and my family. That's so selfish. What if God wants to bless you so abundantly that you start taking people out of poverty around you? What if God puts a nation in your heart and that you're able to take a month or two off from work to be able to go and do something there and build something for people, disciple kids, like whatever that looks like. Like we got to quit thinking so small about the mandates, calling, and assignments on our life because they're much bigger than what we're what we're showing up to play for. But God can't make those things happen and give them to us if we don't we don't just basically trust him because you'll never dare to do some of those things. So, as we're looking at this scripture, see the other thing that that uh that he says in here is that this is not a knocking and banging on the door because he's not listening. Actually, be assured that there is a door because God wants you to have it. See, doors are for entering. They're not just simply there. They're not they're not walls to keep people out. There are access points. If God put a wall there, then he's got a real intention for it. If he's got a door there, then you expect that the door is going to be open. See, Jesus is saying, "Knock on the door with assurance that we're going to open it because I've got much better intentions that you think that I actually have for you." Jesus also says in Mark 11, "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it'll be yours." Now, what's this vision again? What is the vision that we all have to come on board with to see the plans and purposes of God fulfilled to see prayers answered even today? Well, we have to see God as a 100% good father who keeps his promises. There is no shadow. There is no turning. There is no change. He doesn't change his nature towards us. He's not looking for ways to opt out of caring for his kids. Some of us actually believe that. We look at our life and something doesn't work. First thing that we do is say, "What did I do wrong? Oh, that thing didn't work out over here. There's a financial issue over here. What did I do wrong with my money over here?" That's instantly where our minds go instead of like there's a million other options. Why is the first option to see God as a scarce God? Why is the first option to see God as clinging tightly and not having an open hand to us? See, we still have bad lenses. We still have wounds. We still have arangement with God the Father that we've got to process out because no one who sees God's hands like this would ever believe that he wants to give them anything. I'm going to try to ring it from his hands or whatever. That's why that James scripture is so important. We will pray like this. Some days I got a little bit more faith and sometimes I don't. Check in. Is there any area of your life right now that you stopped praying about something months ago or years ago? It might be a time when God's going to bring those things back up to you again because you gave up on it, but it wasn't his will for you to give up. See, God doesn't shroud himself in the mystery of his sovereign will. It's actually up to all of us to actually know what God's will is. In the exact same way that you know what God's uh what your parents will is, you should know what the will of God is because you know him. Couple more things. The vision is an approachable, knowable God who's not distant from us. He's not far off where we have to tug on his robe. What's actually true is that we're seated with him in heavenly realms and that the father and Jesus have made their home in us. So we're actually in proximity like this with God face to face when we pray. This is the way that it should be. He's not up there. We're actually up there with him, but he's also here with us. So if you understand that he's actually with you, he's actually in you. He's actually not far from us and that the kingdom is within our reach and it's in our grasp and it's within us. Then he's right here. His will, his plans, his purposes, his resources, his wisdom, his desires, everything's right here. And see, when I can start looking and seeing his face, then then confidence starts welling up inside me that he's going to actually do everything that I say he's going to do. Let me finish this up. He is a father that's delighted and scripture says that it gives him pleasure to give us good things. It's God's pleasure and delight to give you the kingdom. He is a father that stirs desire in our heart for what he wants. And then you know what he does? He rewards us for asking for the very thing he wants he wanted to give us the entire time. The people unified about who God is have an audacious persistence because they are convinced about how good he is. The people unified about who God is are not working things up in order to build up enough convincing evidence to get God to move on their behalf. The people unified about who God is knock because there is a door. There's not a wall. and they are assured that he is going to answer. And the people unified about who he is aren't trying to bite their lip or faith it up. They walk with an utter confidence because he's already proven his words are true. And the people unified about who God is have a confidence and expectation that they are not trying to get a distant God to answer a prayer from a distant place. But they are literally and today you are literally in the bosom of the father whispering to him from this seat of beloved righteousness. Your standing today and for your past and for your future and for forever is right standing with God. The same standing that Jesus has with the father. And this creates an expectation for breakthrough. As you guys are developing intimacy with God, I'm going to give you these questions. I'd say screenshot this. Take a picture of it really quick. I want you guys to do work on this and and go into intimacy with God and ask these questions. Ask this question. When something isn't going right, how often is it that I've uh that I've done something um how often is it that I think Let me see if I can read this again. When something isn't going right, how often is it that I think that I've done something to keep God from withholding his blessing? And you can ask God, Father God, what areas of my life do I think you're not pleased with or withholding blessing that should not be bleeding, it should be blessing. Father God, what do you really think about that part of my life? Because God the Father has a some often a different perspective on how he sees us in our circumstances and areas of our life. So we need to take on his mind about things. Father God, what things have I stopped asking about that you want to remind me about right now? Father God, what lie am I believing that's made me hopeless? Father God, where do I believe I am unloved by you? Father God, in what ways am I still performing for love? I'm going to flip this over to the group. Um, if anybody's got any feedback, any thoughts, something that God just spoke during that time, love to hear from you. And we also want to jump into prayer requests because we went a little bit longer than I meant to. Um, but uh, throw your prayer requests in the chat and we're going to pray and we're going to head out of here. Go for it, Corey. Wow. Always so powerful, Paul. Thank you for sharing. Um, so what what I was thinking about though as you were talking especially about when somebody's in a financial um pickle that seems um huge, like impossible. Um, can we intercede for them in those ways that that you were talking about to come to the throne boldly to be in their steed? Okay. Absolutely. Yeah. And then I guess the same thing goes when somebody's um facing a medical situation too. So we're we're praying as if we're an intercession as if we're them in a way and re and asking the father. Yeah. And there's a scripture where it said that talks about Jesus being known for his vimic cries that they would hear him in the night crying out for people, praying for people. So he knows what the father's heart is. And so what are we doing? We're doing a couple of things. One is that we're getting we're getting the father's heart. We're getting his compassion and his wisdom in uh on the matter. And we also know that holy spirit is also doing a work of pursuing that person because no one comes to the father except through holy spirit anyway. But knowing that we have a uh that we literally uh kind of become prayer, we become intercessors in that kind of way. The thing is is that we want to try we want to know what God's will is for something and we want to pray in alignment with his will. So what is also happening in any realm um and we have to understand how um the spirit realm actually works. We're in a natural realm and what's happening in the unseen created realm is that there's absolutely thrones, there's absolutely rulers, there's angels, there's a demonic, there's all kinds of different things. And um but angels are on assignment. They recognize the heirs of salvation. And so we're praying partnership with them. We're praying for God's kingdom to come. And God will give us strategies because we can ask God for strategies. How do I pray for this person that's got this condition? How do I have what's a strategy for this issue over here? Um I've seen it happen with healing. God, why? What's making this person have this condition? so that I'm not just praying for the doctor's hands. And it's fine if that's how God wants to heal someone, but if there's something that's actually causing sickness in someone's life or whatever, then we want to deal with those things or whatever. And so, we're always praying and God, what we see is, and there's a book out called the happy intercessor. So, we don't have to be sad about it. We're hopeful because we know what God's will is already. We already know what he wants to do. So, since we already know what he wants to do, then we're just saying, "God, show me how to pray." the burden's on him. I'm not trying to figure out what works. I just say, "Holy Spirit, show me how to pray. I'm gonna pray those words because they're going to be what's happening in heaven." And they're going to be faithfilled. And then for as long as a burden is on me and it may God may have you pray 60 seconds or he may have you pray for 10 or 15 minutes or he may not have you pray for all at all. It's however he's going to show you how to. But that's what partnership looks like. And obviously with people that we also want to ask God for words in season, Rama words, because what God will do, I always have I don't think that I have it sitting uh sitting over here. I have all kinds of little things with like keys on them. Um and I'm always asking God for keys to people's hearts because they're in here about a lot of things and they're overwhelmed or whatever. And I'm like, God, what's the key to this person's heart that would get past all the, "Oh, this person's being religious. This person's being churchy or whatever." God, what's the key to their heart that would unlock them in this area of their life? And you you guys can do that when you're coaching people as well. What's the key right now that would completely open this up? What will get them out of here and into here and bring a breakthrough or to make them open or whatever? We should always be praying that for any of our friends or family. I constantly pray it for my kids even where I'm like, "God, give them a heart to know you." It's a constant prayer that's actually in Jeremiah. I always am praying it. God, give them a heart to know you in their sleep tonight. You hide instruction at sleep. You bring revelation and encounters even in sleep. So God, we bless their sleep that they might even not even remember it consciously during the day uh that something happened, but something shifted. So there's a lot that actually takes place. I saw there was one person who I really loved and they were struggling with sickness, but I knew some of the words that I wanted to say, they weren't going to be able to receive it. So, I kept praying and then one day they came to me and they said, "You know what?" And it was literally the thing that I wanted to say to them came out of their mouth, but I'd been praying it for a year or two. And so, we got to know that, hey, as we're praying, I'm always looking immediately to see something happens. But just because something doesn't happen immediately doesn't mean that the prayer isn't at work. But I remember that person said verbatim what I wanted to tell them and they had their breakthrough. And I don't care how I got there. When it got there, it was real for them. You know, if I had said, and we understand this as coaches, if I had told them what their problem was, they uh and that wasn't what God told me to do, they probably wouldn't have gotten their breakthrough. they probably would have actually gone into offense with it because of where their heart was at the time. But however God brought it about, I don't know if they watched a watched a video, a podcast or whatever, but the important thing was I did what I was supposed to do and said what I was supposed to say and be consistent while praying for that revelation to come. So those are some ideas. That's awesome. Yeah. Thank you so much. Cool. Anybody else? Then Oscar said, "Uh, wow, I just drew a key before you said key." That's awesome. Yeah, Elizabeth, I'll have that recording. Um, so I just don't want to email people too many times. So, if you just shoot us an email, I'll make sure that you we are putting it in the Facebook group because that's one place that we can kind of stick it, but I know some people aren't in Mast's Academy yet. So, if you want it, we can just send a link to it. It's not a biggie. Anybody else All right, about to pray. Just remember, Mast's Academy uh starts May 15th for those of you who are interested in being a part of that. You do need to get enrollled soon because uh there's like 14 spots left. There may be fewer since we've been on here. I don't know. Um, but uh I'll stick that link inside uh inside the chat widget. It's just christianlifecoach.co and you can do that. Uh but let's pray and let's pray positioned. Like I said before, we're going to learn to pray and position ourselves. Especially those of you who are uh learning to coach in the IIP transformational coaching model. This is going to be really helpful for you to start living and praying like this. Um and um and because that's the other thing. It's like I can only teach you so much in Master's Academy. What I'm hoping on these Mondays is that we can fill in some of the gaps and I can give you some things that can that can help you. So where are we how are we praying? We're going to pray like Jesus prayed face to face. So I want you just to close your eyes and imagine and you can imagine Jesus or you can imagine God the Father in your face. He's in you. And so we are praying right now from the position of being dearly loved sons and daughters fully esteemed. And I speak over every person in the room right now. God, I ask right now, Holy Spirit, that you would come. Make us aware of your presence. You're here, but make us aware of your presence. And come right now. And Lord, bring your kiss of love that every person in the room is totally aware of how much of a delight that they are to you. And I just say even what the father says, I love you and I am pleased with you. I'm delighted in you. I am not withholding goodness from you, but I have nothing but uh goodness and blessing and hopeful intentions. Ask me. The father says, "Ask me for the good things I want to give you because it delights my heart." The father says, "It delights my heart to hear from you and for you to ask." It's not a stingy thing for you to ask your father. The father wants you to know that some of you struggle with that. It's not a stingy, selfish thing to ask for your needs. The father says, "I know what you need. Now ask for what you need so that I can give it to you. so that I can make your joy full. So Lord, we stand face to face with you right now boldly and confidently because we are your sons and daughters. Jesus, we celebrate your lordship over our lives, over our friends, over our family, over our businesses. You are Jesus. We say right now and make us aware again. Jesus, you are totally victorious over all your enemies across every dimension in all time. Jesus, you are Lord and vic victorious over our past. You are Lord and victorious over our present. You are Lord and victorious over our future. There is nothing that is not under your rule and reign, Jesus. And your victory has gone deeper than any of our mistakes, any of our bad decisions, any of the mistakes and bad decisions that affected us. Lord, you your victory goes deeper than any man or woman's sin on this planet. And it goes deeper than any work of the enemy. And we celebrate that the enemy is not on the throne. And he is not an equal with you. You are fully Lord over every dimension, all time and space. and you could sneeze and nothing else would exist if you were not so merciful. You are that powerful and you are that good. Jesus, you came for me and you put me inside you. Jesus, we thank you that every person in this room has given their life to you. That you have brought us into heavenly places. We're seated with you right now. We're partnering with you for victory. We are looking down from uh from heaven to earth and we just say that nothing in heaven and in earth can resist you in your goodness. God, we thank you that we can't pray something and it not happen. So we ask today, Lord, right now we ask that you would align our ask with the desires of your heart. That we would ask bigger, that we'd ask more hopefully. that we wouldn't ask as beggars, we wouldn't ask as orphans any longer. God, we ask to grab a hold of the vision that you see because when we can see what you see, then we can pursue it. And we thank you that you tell us to knock, not uh not not because you don't have something, but you tell us to knock because there is a door that you in fact want to give us what's behind it. Right now, we just put up any barriers, any screens, any place that needs to be hidden and covered by the blood of Jesus in our life right now. So, we cover our family, we cover our friends, we cover our children, we cover our businesses, we cover all of those things under the blood of Jesus, and we hide it from the enemy. And we declare that we are cleansed from all filthiness of of the flesh and the spirit. that we are washed in your blood today. We declare that any evil word spoken against us or any evil assignment brought against us in our life comes to nothing right now. That that is your will and that's your desire. And we declare and we declare right now that the blood of Jesus covers not only us but it covers our houses. We thank you for that. We thank you for the your promises as well that they cover our house, our our cars, our bank accounts, our businesses, the technology used to support our businesses, our reputations, our strategies as well as the customers and the clients that we serve. Everything that is under our stewardship, our children, the yard that we have to cut the grass, Lord. Everything that is in our stewardship, we say it is under Jesus' name, it is all blessed and it is all fruitful and under the promises of God. So God, I call for the oil of anointing to be poured out over every component of the people in this room. Anoint them for service today and through this week. Establish their heart in joy to know that you are a good father that wants to answer their prayers and awaken the strength of Jesus Christ in them. Angels, bless the Lord and praise his holy name. You perform his word and you are made ministering spirits to the sons and daughters of salvation that are in this room. And we we partner, Lord, with all of the assignments of angels over our life, God. Angels of finance, we loose you to bring what's appointed to each person in this room's storehouse. where some people's storehouses are not as full as they need to be right now or they're supposed to be to match the assignment. We we release and loose angels of finance to go and secure and find opportunities and to establish an environment of favor around us. Lord, we thank you in the name of Jesus uh for the cancelling and the fulfilling of all debts that no one in this room would be a debtor, but they would be a lender as you promised. Angels of breakthrough, you are loose to break down any barrier, obstacle, or objection that opposes the calling assignment mandate of the people in this room. We cast forth the nets of the of the Lord this morning to bring forth contracts, agreements, relationships, clients, all of those things according to our assignments and divine plans. And I declare in the name of of Jesus that we are citizens of heaven. We are sons and daughters of God. We renounce indebtedness, servitude, and dependence on this world system. This world system, we are not subject to it. We are subject to the king in the king in his kingdom. And I declare that all pro finances, provision and blessings will break through any hindrance this morning. And we speak breakthrough to any hindrance that would try to contain blessings, provision, and resources from getting to us. And God, that we don't speak those things only for finances. Every resource that needs to get to our children, every hopeful word. We thank you God that depression does not stand in our family line and it does not and it is not the portion that you have for our children. Heaviness, anxiety, hopelessness, any kind of mental or emotional condition. We speak uh uh specifically and not that anybody said this in the chat, but anyone who is struggling in our family that we're seeing the struggle with with bipolar and these in these intense up and downs, including uh suicidal ideiation, we break that spirit. We come into agreement and we break that spirit's power in the name of Jesus. And we release now. We partner with the light of Christ that everywhere people are right now in our family, no matter how far away they are or how confused or deceived they are, we release right now the light of Christ to come upon them. Lord, encounters would follow them. We pray right now for for angels to come and align and partner and to keep the enemy at bay. We also pray right now for the larger body of Christ, for co-workers, for people on the street, for people who are in line at Starbucks. Lord, we align right now. There's no distance in the spirit realm. We put our hands on these friends and family members that everybody has such a heaviness for in this room or knows or God, you've brought them to mind. Lord, we put our hands and we say in agreement, you will come home and you will come into your inheritance because you are not a prodigal and you're not a performer. You are a son or a daughter who is loved, cherished, and there is a plan and purpose of over your life. and we bless the body of Christ to come around and to rally like God, we thank you for unusual conversations, unusual kinds of things that never happen that they would notice. Lord, um even scenes in movies, even commercials, even something they would see on social media. Lord, we thank you that you are causing all things to work for good. We pray protection over their lives that the enemy goes no farther. We pray against any kind of spirit of death in the room right now, Lord. Whether that whether that is connected to physical conditions, whether it's connected to sinful habits, whether that be drugs or alcohol or any of those other kinds of things. Right now, we say in the name of Jesus, we release the spirit of life and we break the power of the spirit of death in Jesus name. God, we ask today for hidden wisdom, hidden knowledge that only belongs to uh to you, Lord, so that we can serve you well, so that we can complete the assignments and mandates and callings that you have. Lord, make us aware more of you. Fix our eyes on you, Jesus, more than anything else that we're seeing in this world. Lord, send angels of breakthrough and deliverance. We want to see the cycles that have held people broken. We ask for awakening angels to be sent to partner with us that everywhere that we go that we carry a quickening spirit. Whether that be with friends and family members, whether it be at the grocery store or whether it be with with our family members or whatever, we ask that everywhere that we go, we carry that spirit. Give us words today, Rama words that have that key. words in season that opens people's hearts that causes people's hearts to burn. Angels to salvation, you're released to find all of these prodigals and the lost that are also part of our assignment. Lord, help us to see them and draw them to the father. Angels of healing, you are loose to ensure that attacks against our health are derailed as well as the attacks against our friends and family are derailed. We speak right now in the name of Jesus a blockage to the transmission of infectious diseases, food poisoning, accidents, anything that would cause harm to the body. Lord, for the specific ask in this room, Lord, we speak 100% healing to Joan's body. We speak to any kind of nerve impingement right now. We just we just speak to the body for the space in vertebrae to space apart exactly uh like they're supposed to be. We thank you, God, even right now for a a a supernatural creative miracle that you would recreate vertebrae right now in the name of Jesus. That all inflammation would go, that any kind of bulging or pinching would stop right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, we thank you for a supernatural adjustment coming in the body right now that all of the muscular system right now would be strengthened and to pull the body into the right uh into the right position in Jesus name. We just speak healing over Justin's carpal tunnel. Lord, we thank you that uh that there are surgeries that that uh that you've allowed to happen that fix those things. But Lord, we're asking for a supernatural adjustment, God, right now that you would touch his elbow. You touch his elbows right now, Lord. That you would bring the alignment that needs to happen, Lord. That you would go right now into tendons. We speak to tendons right now. That any kind of inflammation and any soreness would go and we call the hand back into the original design and intent that God created you for to pull back into into shape. and that it'd be painfree right now in the name of Jesus. So no more pain in the elbow, no more pain in the forearm, no more pain in the wrists, no more pain in the hands in the name of Jesus. Lord, let that come. We thank you God that you are releasing um strategy and understanding to Shantel for uh for her business and for everything that you uh that you have for her. Lord, we thank you that her storehouse is being filled. Lord, in the name of Jesus, we pray for this friend Jessica that is uh is dealing with uh with uh being paralyzed after surgery. And we speak to Jessica's body. Lord, again, we just extend our hands, Lord, as one knowing that you are good. Jesus, you said with a word and you even uh allowed your your disciples with a word to say, "Get up and walk." So, we speak to Jessica's body right now. We speak to extremities. We speak to toes and feet and legs and hands and elbows and arms and the entire torso, every part of the body. We call the central nervous system and every nerve ending back into alignment with the brain. We call it right now to remember brain. We speak to Jessica's brain right now. Brain, remember the hands. Remember the feet. And we speak for a supernatural recreation of those neural pathways right now to be remembered. We speak to the body. You have not forgotten. You still have a foot. You still have a hand. You still have extremities. You still have a neck. you still have a head. We speak right now to the brain and the nervous system to come into alignment. Lord, let that sound reverberate right now all the way to where where she is, Lord. And Lord, let it come right now. Cause her to walk, Lord. Cause it to tremble. cause her to have feeling, Lord, that there be no numbness. Where anybody is dealing with any kind of numbness in the room, whether there's any kind of neur neuropathy or anything else, we speak to those extremities in those um in those places that have been impacted to be fully healed and to be fully restored in the name of Jesus. Joan, I see your hymn. Joan, you have your hand up. No, that's weird. I had my hands in my lap the whole time. I didn't do it. Maybe you're just worshiping in the popped on. Awesome. I don't know. Maybe I'm supposed to say something. Maybe. I don't know. No, I I literally did not raise my hands at all. So, all right. Well, strange Zoom things, you know. All right. Anybody else? Is there anything else that we need to pray for today? Or do you guys have any testimony of anything or anything you're like, man, I wish I would have shared this and I should have said this. Know that if you felt if you felt that stirring, you should say something. So, go for it. Awesome, Corey. Well, good. Good. Well, bless you guys. Go for it. Oh, I was going say since you said that the stirring, I really felt when you were praying with the anxieties and the suicide ideation and some of those other um things that you prayed during that that segment there. I I felt that those were for my son. So, I can't thank you. Um I I got some really amazing visuals with an army of angels released over him as well as his home and his family work. So, it's gonna it's gonna take me probably a couple hours to to uh what do I want to say? Um digest it or to I don't want to say process, but just to absorb and to um and to keep in the spirit and keep keep praying and things. So anyway, so that's that's what's going on and that's my concern and um I just really thank you that you made yourself available and and to to us community and to to God to uh to pray like that really means means so much to me. Thank you. That's good. That's what we all signed up for. Like I don't want to do all this boring stuff. Like at the end of the day, what what does anything else matter? we get to do God's kingdom stuff and get to go after like real things, you know. Uh it'll easily be the best part of my day. Best part of my day is not doing a mentor Monday tonight. I love and I'm not am very grateful for what I get to do, but this will be easily the best part of my day today. So, yes, Paul, I just want to echo what she said. What a fantastic meeting. I feel like I was led by the Holy Spirit to come in here and I don't regret any second of it. Very powerful and and I I believe strongly that I'm going to have testimonies from this meeting encounter with the Lord um of which I would hopefully share with you in my in an email. But thank you. Thank you for making yourself available. So powerful. I felt that impactation of the Holy Spirit. So thank you. Awesome. And uh obviously we all know things to pray. You guys continue to pray for Sandy on your own as well. So we want to get that clear doctor's report, you know, and she's doing the treatment and all of those other things. Um, but we want to partner and see that that thing hits where it's supposed to hit and that she gets to go on and uh and complete what she's supposed to be doing right now instead of um instead of occupying her time with medical stuff, she'll get to occupy her stuff completely in her assignment, you know. So cool. All right, one last thing. Does anybody have any headaches that are uh that are neck related? And you know this, you might have actually uh you might have actually been told that you have like occipital neuralgia and it'll actually wrap around the back of your head to the front and a lot of times it'll end up it'll wrap itself all the way around and then it'll go to your eyes. Is there anybody in the room that has that? and you'll have to turn on your microphone and tell me. I sort of do. I have a neck I've had multiple neck injuries and I have some weird things that happen when I turn just right. I mean, they I get I call them zingers and I've looked it up and I've tried to figure it out and I also do get headaches. Um but I don't I never thought that those two were related. Um, I have also jaw issues because of this uh neck neck stuff that's um it seems to have gotten a lot worse in the last few months. It's kind of been on and off for a few years. Um, so I'm actually going to go to the doctor about it in a few weeks. Got it. Anybody else besid anybody else besides Corey? Because there might be a second person. I just want to open that up. Can you repeat what you said? I had walked away this Trina. Oh, I was asking if anybody there's uh there's a condition I know it is occipital neurogia. Not everybody knows that that's what it's called, but it's kind of like where you have neck pain that'll ultimately cause a headache to go up the back of your neck and kind of wrap around your head and kind of manifest around your eyeballs even. So that's what I was asking. Yeah, I've been experiencing that lately. Normally it was the migraines, but I've been feeling it in the back of my head starting back there and nothing. I take um norm normally my um little I call it a concoction that I can take for my migraine, but it wasn't doing nothing. It's where I literally just had to lay there and just be still and let it kind of pass on its own. Got it. You got a remedy for it? Yeah, we we're gonna we're going to pray for that. Okay. His name is Dr. Jesus. All right. Uh Trina and Corey, are you guys having headaches right now at this moment? Not really. Just um kind of emotional still from the prayer, but I was just I I just looked up what that's called and I never knew that's what it's called. I've it's stumped my chiropractor and and other things, but that's that's incredible. So, wow. Amen. Now I know what it's called. I don't I don't have a headache, but my eyes been bothering me a whole lot lately. Um I actually thought it was my thyroids causing my eyes to hurt, but I've been taking the medicine, so I know it wasn't that. Got it. All right, team. We're going to pray for them really quick. So, just extend your hands. Trina, I'm going to get you to put your hand on the back of your neck. Same thing for you, Corey. Go ahead and put your hand on the back of your neck. Lord, we thank you for what you revealed that we couldn't know on our own except that you said it, Lord. So, other people were sharing conditions, but these two did not share the conditions that they've been battling with, but you knew and they were in your heart, and you want to heal them, God. So, in the name of Jesus, we speak a release right now to the necks of both Trina and Corey. We speak peace to the neck. We speak to the vertebrae in the neck to now realign. We speak to soft tissue right now where there's been any loss or where there's any been any um lack of expansion there that all of that would be restored and healed. And we command any inflammation to get out of the neck in the name of Jesus. We also speak to the brain to the um into the nervous system where tension likes to find its way and be hidden and find its way into the muscular system in these tissues. We speak to the tissues and we say get out trauma in the name of Jesus. where there has been trauma, whether it was whether it was in an accident or trauma from anything in the past, whether it be spoken or uh and and I would say this specifically um that the father says you don't need to be perfect. You're perfect as you are and there's nothing for you to try to do to make yourself better. And he releases you from any spirit of perfectionism and any kind of expectation that you have to do something to be able to receive and that you'll never be worthy enough to receive. And I speak over both of you. You are worthy and you are loved and you are delighted in and highly esteemed and the father loves you and is pleased with you. And so we break off any trauma that's living in the neck. We break off any kind of muscle memory in the name of Jesus. We come against any kind of violent work of the enemy against your life that would try to manifest in that way. And we and we pull the pull it out by the root by the uh by the name and power of Jesus Christ. And we speak right now that there be no more headaches. So we just speak all the way through the neck, all the way through the head. We speak to arteries and all blood vessels and everything else. No more migraines in the name of Jesus. So, we speak to uh blood vessels. You're going to normalize. You're not going to be too big and you're not going to be too small. You're going to be exactly where you need to be. We speak to blood pressure to normalize. And we release the peace of Jesus Christ. We say, "No more headaches, no more tension headaches, no more cluster headaches, no more migraines from this day forward. We even command the jaw to realign right now. And we thank you for your goodness, Lord, in Jesus name. Amen. All right. Well, that's a pro that's probably a pretty good landing zone. I'm going to try to get us out of here in an hour every week, but it was just we're trying to figure it out, you know, you guys. And we're just going to we're going to pray for people if we have that opportunity. And but I thank you guys who stood the entire time. You guys are amazing. and uh love to hear reports back from you guys in the next uh next time that we meet or by email or whatever. That would be amazing. All right, everybody. Well, if you haven't get enrolled, that link's inside of the chat widget, but um but we love you guys a bunch and it's been an honor and a privilege and a lot of fun. And so, go out, do everything that's in your heart to do. lay your hands on everything that you see that moves and look for the favor of God on your life this week. Uh go empty yourself of everything that you've got. Um and spend as much time as you can with the father to stay in his love and to stay in his eyes. So love you guys. Huge blessing over you guys and have a great week and maybe I'll see you tonight for mentor Monday if you've got anything left. Take care.
