you are about to find out like where do I get all these ideas from and what I want to do today is I want to talk to you about like the framework in the Bible that I got the outline for my tedx talk from and when you begin to understand the Bible is not just um stories it's not about religion it's like it's a guidebook when you get that it changes everything because then when you read the Bible you're looking for Frameworks you're looking for instructions you're looking for patterns and principles and promises and precepts you're looking for how do I do this thing called life and it's all in there um and it's so interesting because like one person would hear me give this presentation from my tedx talk they'd say oh that's cognitive behavioral psychology you might call it that but it was in the Bible before a cognitive behavioral psychologist ever thought he Funk it up right and so so I'm going to share with y'all um where I got that from so it's interesting in Hebrews chapter 11 it says now Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of Things Not Seen for by it that is by faith the elders obtained a good report but what does it say next by faith we understand I want you to just I just want you to breathe that in for a minute by faith we understand it did not say by understanding we have faith see a lot of people think well I will believe I will believe as soon as I understand well I got news for you you don't get to understand until you believe right that's why the scripture says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge right and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom because it starts with an awareness starts with faith in the one who is faithful anyway it says by faith we understand that the world's plural were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear frame a frame is something that is it's the it's a it's not the foundation but it's the structural edifice that you put all the other stuff on it says by faith we understand that the worlds were framed what worlds so things which are seen that's one world we're not made of things which do appear That's the other world so we got physical we got the physical world and we have the invisible world and it says that the things which are seen are not made of things which do appear which means the foundational the framework of Everything Is invisible it's spiritual spirituality is reality physicality is not reality physicality is the manifestation of reality so it says by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are were not made of things which do appear which means the better we understand the things that which are not seen the better we can understand the things we're seeing are y'all tracking so start looking for biblical foundational Frameworks to understand life better and then you will do life better so um for those of you who have seen my tedx talk and I'm not going to do the whole thing uh the way I did it then but it basically I'm gonna I'm gonna draw the whole picture on the board then I'm gonna give you the Bible verse that it came from and then I'm going to show you how like how I activate this concept in my life on a daily basis how you can activate it in your life on a daily basis so the the name of my tedx talk is the master key to influence how to overcome procrastination in yourself and others now so why did I name it that why did I name it the master key to influence what is influence influence is your ability to develop in someone the desire to follow you or to trust you or to listen to you that's what influences you're developing in somebody whether that's somebody somebody else or whether somebody is yourself you're developing in somebody a desire to follow you listen to you trust you right are y'all tracking wave at me if you track him okay so so so when I say when I say the master key to influence now you know I'm talking about influencing me whether I'm influencing me to not procrastinate or whether I'm influencing you not to procrastinate see parents when they're dealing with their children they want their children to do something they don't want that children they don't want that children they don't want that child to procrastinate when I'm when I've got something that has to get done I don't want me to procrastinate a business person who's who's closing a deal doesn't want the person on the other side of that deal to procrastinate so when I talk about the master key to influence that's why I'm talking about it as the master key to influence and not as cognitive behavioral psychology I didn't even know that's what it was until somebody told me that uh and that's why I'm not talking about it as as just um a Bible verse to memorize so we can know we know it but as something we can take action on every day if you're tracking let me hear Sam tracking Okay cool so so this is you or this is this is you or me right and this is the facts okay now here's what here's what's interesting about facts every fact the fact is that every fact has a positive side and a negative side that's fact so when the facts have a negative side and positive side what happens is you or me we observe the fact and when we observe the fact the first thing we do is we put a frame around that fact okay so we put a frame around the fact when we put a frame around that fact that frame determines how we feel about it see I'm going to tell you something by the way if you get this it'll change your life for the rest of your life if you get this one thing I'm about to say it'll change your life for the rest of your life okay and that is uh if your attitude is right facts don't matter now you say well come on man that can't be okay if your attitude is right the facts don't matter why because the frame that you put around the fact has more to do with how you feel about the fact than the fact itself does y'all hear what I just said the frame you put around the fact has more to do with how the fact affects you then then just how you feel about the fact like you're you're it has it'll control how you feel about the fact more than the fact itself the fact is just the fact okay so you're going to look at the fact you're either going to focus on the positive aspect of the fact which is going to make you happy or you're going to focus on the negative aspect of the fact and it's going to make you sad okay are you all tracking with me so far okay so if I'm focused on the fact Focus is not the fact the focus is in my head so I have a focus in my head about the fact that focus in my head it manufactures something causes my mind to manufacture a belief now belief is a two-sided coin it also has a positive aspect and a negative aspect if I'm focused on a negative aspect of the fact it's going to cause me to have a positive belief that positive belief is commonly known as faith if I'm focused on the negative aspect of the fact it's going to cause me to have a negative belief and that negative belief is called doubt here's the part people don't get Faith and doubt are both belief most people erroneously think that faith is belief and doubt is the absence of belief but faith is not belief in doubt the absence of belief faith is belief in the outcome I desire doubt is belief in the outcome I don't desire how many all tracking wave at me my peeps so so so even people who doubt believe something they just believe the unfavorable outcome and see here's what happens the reason we get negative and down in the dumps and put our makeup on upside down right and looking all sad and mad and depressed and down-hearted and or as my mom and dad would say uh broke down busted and disgusted and Monday and Tuesday can't be trusted the reason we look like that is because we're focused on the negative aspect of the fact it's not because the fact is negative the fact cannot be just negative it cannot be just negative not possible it's not possible for anything to only have one side have you ever seen a one-sided coin have you ever seen a one side piece of paper have you ever seen a one-sided piece of bread have you ever eaten a one-sided pancake no why because it cannot exist in order for anything to exist it has to have two sides and when I'm focused on when I'm focused on the positive aspect of the fact it causes me to manufacture a belief called faith and that belief called faith it empowers me by by traveling down and creating a feeling a feeling in my heart and this feeling in my heart is going to manifest itself either as if I'm focused on faith if I'm focused on the positive aspect of the fact I manufacturing belief called faith that feeling is going to be anticipation anticipation is like one of your greatest assets the ability to anticipate okay so so I think one of the biggest mistakes people make when they're communicating with people is they say words and then they Define the word but if I if I can if I can show you a picture of the word that's better how many all agree with that yes okay so here's a picture of the word do you remember on Christmas Eve you know the Christmas when you snuck into your parents room and you knew what you were getting do you remember how excited you were on Christmas Eve to wake up the next day and open the thing you knew you were going to get how y'all remember that right okay so here's what's fascinating this is fascinating my parents I don't know about your parents your parents were probably not as sadistic as mine but my parents would always make us go to bed early on Christmas Eve like earlier than any other day of the year I'm like but we're not sleeping go to bed well we went to bed oh no no no so no we our our house was not a democracy we didn't get votes there were two votes in my house my moms and my dads and that's it you can get votes we just did what they told us um I figure I think about kids today who say to their parents like the parent tells them to do something they say what's the magic word the magic word for my parents was go do what I told you yeah my dad was saying I don't have no magic words but I got a magic belt right anyway anyway magic word I would I I would be some kind of out my mind to ask to ask my dad to tell me a magic word I wish he thought it okay anyway I I digress okay and so we went to bed early but the only thing we couldn't do when we went to bed was go to sleep why because our anticipation of the outcome of the next day's events energized us so here's what here's like like take this home with you anticipation of a favorable outcome produces energy to complete any task are you tracking authors say I've got writer's block you don't have writer's block you're just not expecting the book to sell if you knew you were going to sell a million copies next week you'd get the book done today how many on tracking it's it's a lack of anticipation that contribute to procrastination okay so but if I'm focused on a negative aspect of the fact I'm going to manufacture a belief called doubt and the belief of Doubt is going to cause me to have a totally different feeling in my heart that feeling is called anxiety and by the way I know some of you have seen my tedx talk you think I'm doing the same thing right now I'm not I'm showing you where this came from but I'm also showing you how to apply the lessons that I taught in my TED talk because in my TED Talk tedx talk I only had 18 minutes so I had 18 minutes and right before I went on stage somebody took my my flip chart and then put it in a different room and I was late and I had to catch a plane and I forgot to look at my watch when I got started because there was all this disruption that followed my intention so in 14 minutes I attempted to explain this whole thing in the tedx talk well now when you go watch the tedx talk it'll make more sense because you'll have this to refer back to and now you'll know how to use the stuff I taught in my tedx talk does that make sense say yes okay cool so anxiety is the thief of your dreams anxiety is something we are commanded by Christ never to have said take no thought for tomorrow when he said take no thought for tomorrow that word take no thought literally means don't worry about tomorrow he said take no thought for tomorrow for the Marshall take thought for the things of itself sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof what does that mean that means don't waste Today's Energy worrying about tomorrow's problems because now you've wasted today and you made yourself behind tomorrow are y'all tracking in in Philippians chapter 4 it says it like this it says and be careful for nothing that word be careful is the word don't have anxiety don't worry it's the exact same Greek word that was used in Matthew where Jesus said take no thought for in Matthew chapter 6 where Jesus said take no thought for tomorrow exact same word as the word be careful for nothing so we see it Jesus said to them the Apostle Paul said it again be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God and the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep or guard your hearts and Minds through Christ Jesus Okay cool so don't worry about anything anxiety is the tip of your dreams now here's the thing about anxiety anxiety really deceives people because anxiety looks like fear sounds like fear smells like fear causes the same physical reactions in your body as fear so you think you have a fear when you actually have an anxiety how many on track and wave at me my peeps and I'm telling you like people say I'm just afraid I've got fear of success no you don't I've got fear of failure no you don't you can't it's not possible to have fear of failure it's not like that's not a thing I mean it's a thing because people call it that but it's not a real thing there's no such things for your failure there's no such thing as I'm afraid I'm afraid this might not work I'm afraid a big no I'm you're not afraid I'm getting ready going get ready to go on stage I'm afraid you're not afraid you have anxiety there's a difference here's the difference fear is caution over a real and present danger which means if there's no real and present danger there can be no fear see most people think they have a fear of something when actually what they have is an anxiety or something what's anxiety anxiety is caution over a future imagined danger so you're Imagining the future Danger in such vivid detail that is causing you to have a physical reaction in your body in the present that's what anxiety is I'm literally and I'm expecting an outcome that is not favorable to me I'm I'm I'm seeing that clearly in my mind and it's causing me to have a physical reaction in my body today and here's what it is it's waste all worry is waste the greater the worry the greater the waste stop wasting your life worrying about anything it's a waste like you say oh don't worry my ass it's been so long since I worried I forgot how to do it why because this is not something for me to know this is something for me to do this is a way for me to live my life every single solitary day worry no already no worries ways Jesus said his ways so I'm either going to ignore him and pay attention to the thing I'm worried about or I'm going to pay attention to him and like ignore the thing I'm worried about are y'all tracking this this is how we this is how we actually practice this is how we actually live this out on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday not just shout about it on Sunday and go home and start worrying again I wish I had some help in hand okay I'm gonna calm down I'm gonna calm down a little bit okay so so understand understand that that that when my attitude is right my focus the facts don't matter my attitude is I'm going to focus on the positive aspect of the fact so I can manufacture a belief called faith and I can like shut down the manufacturing plant in my mind that manufactures doubt shut it down stop practicing it see one of the problems you have is you have way more practice visualizing unfavorable outcomes then you do favorable outcomes like you are better you are better you who everybody type yourself say me you are better at expecting unfavorable outcomes then you aren't favorable outcomes would you like me to tell you why everybody everybody say yes everybody says okay here's why because you know what the unfavorable outcomes look like you know what they feel like you've experienced them before some of the favorable outcomes that you desire you've never experienced so you don't know how to visualize them but here's what you got to understand okay I'm gonna ask y'all a question it's not a trick question it's really simple okay okay I'm gonna ask you all a question it's not your question here it is who knows more you or God so whose word should you take in a particular situation yours or his okay see God's already been in the future how long you've been there since forever ever since God has already been in every day in your future since before you got here and he ain't worried about it so quit tripping is that helping anybody besides me like I don't have anything to worry about people say but but my hair but the economy the economy that's the thing you worried about the economy okay God owns everything he owns a cattle in a thousand hills he owns a thousand hills under those cattle here's what God Said the silver is mine and the gold is mine oh you thought it was yours it ain't your it's his and he's all right and guess what he is my heavenly Abba so if he's got plenty I've got plenty I worry about the economy okay how about this I'm in Christ so we are more than conquerors through him that loved us can you imagine somebody going to the Olympics so did you play something I did I came in first place what'd you get I got a better than gold medal I got a better than gold medal yeah can you imagine a boxer I am I am I am I am beyond the world champion nobody talks like that except who God we are more than conquerors we're not conquerors we're more than conquerors through him that loved us like I don't I'm not I'm not going to win I'm not going to win in this game called life I have already won people say wow but but man you could die then I really win because I have eternal life I don't I'm not gonna get eternal life when I die here's what Jesus said Jesus said when when when when uh Martha said to Jesus uh Lord and maybe it was Mary I don't remember which one it was but one of the sisters one of the lives of her sister said if you had been here my brother would have not have died she said I am the resurrection in the life he didn't believe in me the way we were dead yet she'll live yet shall he live and whosoever living and believeth me she'll never die and then he asks a very important question you know what he said right after that believe us thou this the problem ain't my ability to perform the problem is your ability to believe and the reason you don't have the ability to believe is because belief requires discipline and intention especially believing in something you've never seen before you say I'll believe it when I see it well that's one way to do it that one way can I can I tell you a more better way believe it so you can see it David said I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord and land of living he didn't say anything I had fan unless I had seen to believe seeing is believing yep that's the formula for failure seeing is believing because you can't get any momentum if you start with believing believing will cause you to see and then seeing will cause you to believe more now you've got some momentum Okay so anxiety so the focus in my head creates a feeling in my heart and the feeling in my heart produces a function in my hands if I'm focused on the negative aspect positive aspect of the fact manufacturers Faith which causes me to produce a feeling called anxiety in my I mean anticipation in my heart which caused me to have a function in my hands the function of my hands is called Power I now have the power to act see some of y'all can't get off go because you're expecting it not to work and you're asking yourself questions that literally rob you of your power like I'm talking about like a bank robber Robs a Bank at gunpoint the questions you ask are robbing you of your ability to take action like questions like what what if it doesn't work that I'd say this is an okay question to ask in preparation not an okay question to ask in decision time you're tracking because in the decision time like the question is not what if it doesn't work the question is how awesome is this going to be when it works when you ask yourself better questions what will happen is you will get better answers and those better answers will cause you to take better actions and those better actions will produce better outcomes by the way um people say well you um uh you're creating your own you're creating your own um what they call it creating your own reality that thank you thank you for that you're creating your own reality no you're not stop it you're not creating your own reality and you're not speaking anything into existence oh did he really say that I did because speaking something into existence is the only person in the scripture who baraz is God are y'all tracking yeah so I can't speak something into existence I can't create my own reality here's what I create I create my own experience in reality and the words that I say affect the experience that I have while I'm experiencing reality so I have to learn how to talk better so I can learn how to walk better are y'all tracking let me hear you let me hear somebody say I'm tracking okay so so so when the when the focus in my head manufactures Faith the feeling of my heart is anticipation function of my hand is power but when the focus in my head I'm focusing on the negative aspect of the fact it's going to cause me to manufacture the belief of doubt and doubt that's causing me to have anxiety and anxiety produces the function of my hand of powerlessness I become power less which means I have less power and I'm telling you this that this is where most people live this is like like this is the you want to win in life this is it this is it you have to learn how to act as if the only thing that's impossible for you is that something would be impossible for you I'm not giving you a motivational speech I am giving you biblical Doctrine and I'm showing you a step-by-step process how to activate it not just shout about hallelujah praise God well that's good but shout about something you're going to do something about I'm just talking about it walk about it so where did all that come from Romans chapter 17. I mean Romans chapter six Romans chapter six Romans chapter 6 verse 17. says like he and I don't remember the first part of the verse in my I don't have my iPad it says something like um you were in sin but you have obeyed from the heart that form of Doctrine which was delivered you that's where I got this whole thing from you've obeyed from the heart you've obeyed from the heart what's that that's the power in your hand you've obeyed that's a function from the heart right that's the feeling of anticipation that was delivered you that's the focus the form of Doctrine the doctrine is the focus in your head see I believe if people knew better they could do better can I get a witness like if people knew better it could do better and one of the problems is like like we we have we have we have we have moved away from the practical application of scripture in our lives to feeling good about the fact that we know something good is going to happen in the future when something good could be happening based on this word right now right now but I gotta do something see the Bible we got any coders in here we got any coders any coders okay well one of the things when you I was gonna I wanted to be a computer programmer right okay we got a coder okay so you know what if then go to statement is Right diamond right if then go to right if this like what you do is you you you you do one function and then when that function happened it causes a chain reaction do you understand the Bible it's filled with conditional promises that are like if then go to statements and most people never do the if then so they never get to go to because it's called an if then go-to statement which means if you don't then you don't get to go to here's what's really amazing about this to me like when I when I get ready to do something like I was talking to my brother last night he said my sister-in-law said Mike where does he get all that energy from does he do nothing but create videos like we just have a system we have a system in place right and I'm I fully expect what I'm working on to work like I fully expect I fully expect to reach the multitudes around the world with the kingdom message what is the kingdom of God the kingdom of God is God me yielding my life to God as The Sovereign King Of My Life and then when I yield my life to him he gives me Sovereign authority over my assignment and I'm going to rule over that assignment with Sovereign Authority and then I'm going to use that assignment that I rule over to serve every human being I come in contact with that is why I'm here on the earth God put me here by myself but he did not put me here for myself and that message is something everybody would desire to know if they only knew it existed and God didn't just give me that to know it so I can live like this he gave me a big mouth so I'd tell a whole bunch of people and I am telling you like if you will stop driving the vehicle of your life down the highway of experience with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes and learn how to accelerate into the curves your life would be so magnificent you'd make such a difference in the world just own it you were created for a purpose that no one else in the history of the world could possibly fulfill I'm a little jacked out my mind about this this morning I'm I'm amped why because because I I like I'm this is this like it ain't here's what I'm saying it ain't a secret it's just the work that most people are unwilling to do see frames create Focus so what you got to do is you got to put a frame within the frame put a frame within the frame of every fact it'll change the actions that you take it'll change how you feel about the situation which will change how you function around that situation and don't change the game I watch people sell I'm I do I do sales training I say why why do you sell certainly because most people are terrible at sales most people in sales are terrible it's like the only reason you can even make sales is because they already wanted to buy it dude like like I hear people in in sales and they're talking and they're talking about their product they're talking about their pieces they're talking about their process they're talking about all their stuff and nobody cares they don't like you that much they don't like me that much either do you know what I do when I'm selling I don't talk about me I only talk to you about you and I get you to focus on the stuff you want and I show you how your best chance to get the things you already want is with the stuff that I got over here it's gonna help you get that stuff you already want then it's an automatic yes see people people want to know scripts you don't need to you you scripts are fine scripts are fine for starting you got to start somewhere they're fine but here's what you really want if you if you knew to want it you'd want this here's what you'd want you want a framework framework that you can always go to always works and I'm telling you here's the framework that always works get the people you're selling to focused on the outcome they already desire and then show them how the thing you have helps them get that done period it's a wrap the only thing left to do is buy but make sure make sure the thing you're selling can get them the result I am not one of these people who's for selling stuff to people that won't do them any good that's why I don't do high pressure sales I don't do high pressure sales because I feel like the people I'm selling to are smart enough or should be smart enough to know whether it's in their own best interest or not so I'm not going to talk you into it right like I want to do such a good job at selling that I can't even talk you out of it yeah ain't gonna talk you into it I don't do any convincing what I'm selling my my sales my my when I get to the end of showing people what I have it looks a little something like this buy it or don't buy if it makes sense to your body if it don't make sense don't buy it right wow that's kind of easy I don't feel any pressure why because I'm not trying to get them to buy it I'm just letting them know it exist in case they're one of the people who's supposed to hear my voice and then follow me right I ain't trying to get you to buy this well Myron I'm looking at your program and somebody else's how do I know which one to buy it's easy buy theirs you don't say every single solitary time buy theirs if you're that confused buy theirs right because you ain't ready for me is that too real you ain't ready for me you want you won then no this ain't that baby okay so so we got to learn how to do is we got to learn how to put frames around facts that cause people to focus on the positive aspect of the fact oh by the way this is also in I think John 13 17. here's what it says here's what Jesus said if you know these things focus in your head happy are you feeling in your heart if you do them function in the hands see how it's a pattern and when you learn how to use this pattern like every situation that you look at like you're looking at a situation let's say you need to write a book or you need to create a funnel or you need to create a sales page or or you need to have a conversation or you're working on getting a government contract or whatever the thing is that you're working on you you need to show a house or you need to list some houses or whatever the thing is you need to start your YouTube channel or you need to start your YouTube channel or you need to start your YouTube channel or you need to start your YouTube channel or you need to start your YouTube channel I'm it's called a hint okay let's call it a hint okay uh uh like the reason you're putting it off is because you're focused on some negative aspect of that thing okay so what you have to do is you have to focus on a positive aspect of that thing and then it will Empower you to do it like this like the this is why I call this the master key to influence what is influence it's something that causes people to lean in a particular direction influencing it you're changing it you're moving it you're nudging it the master this is the mat this is the master key to influence whether you want to influence yourself or whether you want to influence somebody else this is a master key to influence how to overcome procrastination in yourself and others overcome procrastination to yourself why you get more done overcome procrastination and others why well if you're an entrepreneur you sell more if you're a parent your children behave better like whatever it is like it's just it makes your life better it's like when I'm selling it's like tell me yes or tell me no but tell me now I gotta go I don't want I don't I don't want I don't want your yes I just want your decision but you got to give it to me now are y'all tracking and so when you learn to apply this master key to influence here's what's going to happen it's going to happen you will get more done in a day than you used to get done in a week because most people spend all the time the show like hours and hours like visualizing scenarios well what if it doesn't work and oh my goodness and then what if they do this and what if they hang up on me and what if they close the door in my face at all and then they get all worked up in this imaginary situation they start hyperventilate over nothing is in your mind I was talking to my brother yesterday he's like he said Mary and I go to the golf course with you man but I don't like I don't like like alligators man I don't like reptiles I'm like okay but here's what I'm going to tell you you have more problems with the alligators in your mind than you do to alligators on the golf course I said he said how many alligators have you seen over the years playing golf I said hundreds I said I've seen hundreds of alligators I saw some of them after they saw me like whoa I didn't know you were sitting right there I wouldn't have came over here messing with you right right you know golfers golfers can be like in the zone man you don't see nothing but the line that you want to roll that ball on right okay anyway so I said but I've seen hundreds of alligators I've never had one even look remotely interested in doing anything to me but it's the pictures that we see in our mind that cause the most problems it's like you don't understand how powerful this computer is in your mind we went to my brother Jeff and I we went to dinner last night and he ordered a salad with no onions he was very specific about that she brought the girl brought the salad to him with onions on she said why take the onions off for you I said ma'am you don't understand when he said no onions you don't want onions nowhere near there now and I told my brother I said the same way you are about onions I'm that way about ketchup like I don't want to see ketchup when I'm eating I don't want to think about it I don't want to smell it like not a ketchup fan right and it has nothing to do with the ketchup it's all in here are you attacking and so most of the stuff 99 of the things that have been stopping you are in here they ain't out here they in here how many old track and wave at me my peeps so here's what we're gonna do we are going to start focusing on the positive aspect of the fact so we can manufacture a belief called faith so that Faith Can manufacture a feeling in our heart called anticipation it's going to produce a function in our hands called power and we're going to get stuff done and our lives are going to get better because now I know how to work on me and by the way this works if you want to get in shape it works if you want to get rich it works if you want to have weight loss it works you want to have good relationships it works it works everywhere this is how it's done so hope this blesses you by the way go watch the tedx talk and you'll see what I mean I didn't have as much time to go into all these details in the tedx talk but I have the tedx talk on my YouTube channel so go check it out hope you stay blessed by by the best watch the videos share them comment like all that other YouTube stuff y'all do in the meantime in between time peace outcome
