Full transcript
- 0:06We are in a season of innovation and
- 0:08breakthrough. The playing field has
- 0:10definitely been leveled for everyone.
- 0:13It is important for us to pay attention
- 0:15to the ideas that come from God.
- 0:17Ideas start as a simple spark of
- 0:20inspiration that only belongs to those
- 0:22who pay attention to them. Set your
- 0:25intention to put action to the ideas
- 0:28that God has given you. Set your
- 0:30attention to rise up as an innovator, a
- 0:33new species of believers. Set your
- 0:36intention to capture the thoughts and
- 0:39allow heaven and earth to conspire to
- 0:41bring those necessary resources to you.
- 0:44Whatever you intend to do, know that
- 0:47heaven will get involved, which will
- 0:50make you unstoppable and bring you into
- 0:53the realm of next level thinking. So,
- 0:57let's begin.
- 1:05Welcome to the second installment on our
- 1:08topic that we're treating the power of
- 1:11intentionality.
- 1:14In this season, um I believe it's a
- 1:17period of great innovation, great
- 1:20breakthroughs. We're in industry 4.0.
- 1:23And as you're aware, all of the industry
- 1:25started with someone that had a new
- 1:28idea.
- 1:29In industry 4.0,
- 1:32um I believe that you're going to see so
- 1:35many people giving breakthrough ideas
- 1:38and they're going to be
- 1:39industry-specific ideas. From from nano
- 1:42tech to bio tech, we're going to see
- 1:46smart homes becoming like a thing of the
- 1:48past. The next generation of children
- 1:51that will be born in the earth realm, um
- 1:54they will be born into a world that it's
- 1:59um run by RV and AI and um
- 2:04you know, we'll be living in virtual
- 2:07realities and we would have to
- 2:09decompress in a decompression chambers
- 2:13and pods to disconnect from a
- 2:16hyperconnected world. We know that we
- 2:19have IoT, the Internet of Things.
- 2:22Everything will be talking to one
- 2:24another. It's almost like living in Star
- 2:26Trek. It's kind of like a Star Trek
- 2:29generation and this is going to be
- 2:31normal. And I believe that when we begin
- 2:34to read scripture, we begin to
- 2:36understand how incredible the mind is.
- 2:40And for those of you that want to start
- 2:43businesses or you have ideas that maybe
- 2:47you'll be maybe able to see a
- 2:49industry-specific breakthrough, but you
- 2:51question whether or not the someone
- 2:54would actually buy into it or buy from
- 2:58you as you create these great
- 3:01innovations.
- 3:03Um if it
- 3:04these thoughts have been sparked by God,
- 3:07then nothing is going to be impossible.
- 3:09And so I'm believing that out of um our
- 3:12kingdom, the kingdom of light, we will
- 3:15see a rise of um innovators, individuals
- 3:19that are used like God used those uh
- 3:23great um biblical figure figures and and
- 3:27personalities that we've come to love
- 3:30and come to admire. And I believe that
- 3:33this generation is going to see a new
- 3:36species of believers that are going to
- 3:38be um industry leaders and legislators.
- 3:42These individuals are going to be used
- 3:44by God to push humanity forward, to
- 3:46extend his kingdom, and bring solution
- 3:49to world problems. Let's turn with me to
- 3:52the book of Genesis chapter 11:1-9.
- 3:54The scripture says, "The whole earth was
- 3:56one language and of one speech. And it
- 3:59came to pass as they journeyed from the
- 4:01east that they found a plain in the land
- 4:03of Shinar. And they dwelt there. And
- 4:07they said one to another, 'Go to, let us
- 4:09make brick and burn them thoroughly. And
- 4:12they had brick for stone and slime they
- 4:14had for mortar. And they said, 'Go to,
- 4:17let us build us a city and a tower whose
- 4:20top may reach unto heaven. And let us
- 4:22make a name
- 4:24and lest we be scattered abroad upon the
- 4:27face of the earth.' And the Lord came
- 4:29down to see the city and the tower which
- 4:31the children of man builded. And the
- 4:33Lord said, 'Behold, the people is one
- 4:36and they have all one language and this
- 4:38they began to do. Now nothing will be
- 4:40restrained from them which they had
- 4:42imagined to do.' In other words, you
- 4:44know, their innovative ideas that they
- 4:47took serious was going to spark this
- 4:50entire movement of resourcefulness
- 4:52and innovation. So, there are many
- 4:55levels of revelation in this text.
- 4:57Number one, they came together and drew
- 4:59through unity, they found this plain in
- 5:02the land of Shinar.
- 5:04And this is um a zip code that they
- 5:08landed in and it was a plain. A plain is
- 5:11a level plot of land. And we are in a
- 5:15post-pandemic world. This is the world
- 5:19that had changed and we are now in a new
- 5:22normal. And I want to encourage you that
- 5:25this world in which we are living in,
- 5:28the playing field has been leveled. It's
- 5:30been leveled for every individual,
- 5:32leveled for every industry, every
- 5:34profession, every government, every
- 5:36nation. We are living on a level playing
- 5:41field. The rules are changing and you
- 5:43could be one of the ones that are
- 5:45dictating the rules as long as you
- 5:48understand that nothing is off-limit.
- 5:51Before, you had to be qualified with
- 5:53this and qualified for that. You had to
- 5:56be network part of um an existing
- 5:59organization. You had to be recognized
- 6:02by by um someone before you were able to
- 6:05climb the prophetic or the proverbial
- 6:08ladder of success. But now, I mean, we
- 6:11are literally on a level playing field.
- 6:16Anybody can win. Anybody can succeed.
- 6:20Anybody can prosper. And it's as simple
- 6:23as that. That's number one, that plain.
- 6:26They were on a level playing field.
- 6:27Number two, the
- 6:29they thought that an idea could be
- 6:32possible.
- 6:34And because they believed that that idea
- 6:36was possible, it sparked action.
- 6:40And intentionality is always the
- 6:43precursor to activity. And this is very
- 6:46important for us to understand it. They
- 6:48had this idea, it sparked their action,
- 6:51and then intentionality brought it to
- 6:54pass. The Bible said in this they began
- 6:57to do. Now nothing will be restrained
- 6:59from them which they have imagined to
- 7:02do. So, intentionality
- 7:04is the precursor to resourcefulness. I
- 7:06think that a lot of people are praying
- 7:08and praying and praying without the
- 7:10intention to seeing an act or something
- 7:14come to pass. A lot of people have a
- 7:16plan A or plan B. If this doesn't work,
- 7:19then I'm going to do that. If that
- 7:20doesn't work, then I'm going to do the
- 7:22other. But you don't see levels of
- 7:24commitment and I believe that people
- 7:26give up too soon. They give up too soon
- 7:28on their ideas, their dreams, their
- 7:30vision, their business. When something
- 7:33goes wrong, they have this plan B. But I
- 7:36believe that in this season, um there's
- 7:39going to be a new species that are going
- 7:40to rise and they're going to have these
- 7:42God ideas that are going to fill their
- 7:45mind. And because they have the
- 7:47intention of bringing that to pass,
- 7:50you're going to see new levels of
- 7:51resourcefulness.
- 7:53Number four, intentionality is the
- 7:55precursor to innovation. They said, um
- 7:58you know, "Go to, let us make brick."
- 8:01Well, there was no mention of brick in
- 8:02the Bible before they said, "Let's make
- 8:04brick." What's a brick? I don't know
- 8:05what's a brick. And they put their
- 8:07thoughts together, created a mastermind,
- 8:10and they decided that we're going to
- 8:11turn brick They they they they took the
- 8:13mortar, they took the slime, and then
- 8:16they they they were they invented an
- 8:19industry, basically, because there was
- 8:21no burning of mortar and slime before
- 8:24this. And the Bible said they had brick
- 8:26for stone and mortar had they
- 8:29they and slime had they for mortar. So,
- 8:32they invented this industry of creating
- 8:35bricks and they put their thoughts
- 8:38together
- 8:39and they had this breakthrough idea.
- 8:41Here's the the caveat that all the trade
- 8:44secrets that you see, all the
- 8:46innovations, all the original ideas, all
- 8:48the industry-specific breakthroughs
- 8:51um are sparks of
- 8:53inspiration that is received by the mind
- 8:56that someone takes serious.
- 8:59And they Bible said that they came
- 9:01together, they began to um
- 9:04build this city, and then in the middle
- 9:07of the city they had this tower. They
- 9:09wanted to make a name for themselves.
- 9:11This is the whole idea of branding. And
- 9:14branding is not a new concept, but they
- 9:18started to brand themselves. Let's make
- 9:19a name for ourselves. And this was not
- 9:23only so that they can influence
- 9:26uh their generation, but future
- 9:28generations would speak about them. In
- 9:30other words, time would not be permitted
- 9:33to erase their name out of history. And
- 9:37in this season, this is a season of
- 9:39innovation, a season of breakthrough
- 9:41that we are in. And this is not just for
- 9:45those that we know that have have
- 9:47businesses, those enduring brands that
- 9:50we know about,
- 9:51but I believe that God is raising up
- 9:53individuals that in this generation,
- 9:55they'll live as an individual and
- 9:56they're going to die as an institution.
- 9:59And your work is going to be observed by
- 10:02future generations, and time is going to
- 10:05be kind to you because it's going to
- 10:07write your name down in history. So,
- 10:09these group of individuals became
- 10:11history makers, and they shaped history.
- 10:14They didn't just prophesy history, they
- 10:17provoked it. They created it. They
- 10:20designed it. And a lot of times we are
- 10:23waiting for our destiny to come to us.
- 10:27When in fact, we are designing our
- 10:29destiny one thought at a time, one
- 10:32action at a time, one breath at a time,
- 10:35proverbially speaking. So, all trade
- 10:38secrets,
- 10:40all innovations, all original ideas and
- 10:42industries specific breakthroughs, they
- 10:45start as a spark of inspiration that's
- 10:49received by the mind, and someone pays
- 10:51attention to it. Have you ever thought
- 10:54about inventing something or writing
- 10:56something or creating something, and
- 10:58then you waited, and then before you
- 11:00know it, you see it advertised on TV.
- 11:03So, we know that ideas belong to to
- 11:06whoever is paying attention. And an idea
- 11:08is not off-limits to anybody. I know
- 11:11that two or three or five or even
- 11:13hundreds of people can have the same
- 11:15idea, but whoever manifests that idea as
- 11:19a good, a product, or a service, a book,
- 11:23um uh um uh a television show,
- 11:26a movie, um a company, a t-shirt,
- 11:30whoever pays attention to that idea and
- 11:34takes it seriously, and sees that it's
- 11:37possible, then that breakthrough, that
- 11:40product, that good, that service belongs
- 11:42to that individual. And it's the whole
- 11:45idea of intellectual property. I think
- 11:48the most expensive real estate in the
- 11:51world is the human mind. And a lot of us
- 11:55take that for granted. And like I said
- 11:58in the previous teaching, uh that the
- 12:00mind the mind is an incredible
- 12:03uh creating machine. And if you put the
- 12:06mind to work, the mind is able to create
- 12:09the most incredible things. But a lot of
- 12:12us do not put our minds to work. We do
- 12:16not engage our mind. We're the product
- 12:18of classical conditioning or um cultural
- 12:21conditioning. And uh and and not knowing
- 12:24that the moment you set your intentions,
- 12:27num- number one to pay attention to your
- 12:30thoughts and ideas, but also to capture
- 12:32them, and especially those that have
- 12:35been sparked by the Holy Spirit, um all
- 12:39you have to do is put action to it. And
- 12:42a lot of us, we sit on these great
- 12:44ideas, and then someone else um
- 12:47uh puts the energy in, and then creates
- 12:50a product or a good or a service out of
- 12:52there, and then they're generating
- 12:54hundreds of thousands of dollars,
- 12:55millions of dollars, and billions of
- 12:57dollars, if only we had acted. And we
- 13:01act when we have an intention to do
- 13:05something. Thoughts are things, and this
- 13:08is important that capture two realms. It
- 13:12captures the attention of heaven and the
- 13:16attention of earth. And I want to go
- 13:18back
- 13:19into a scripture in verse number three.
- 13:21It says, "Let us make brick
- 13:23and burn them thoroughly, and they had
- 13:26brick for stone, and slime they had for
- 13:27mortar." So, it captured the attention
- 13:30of earth. And they said, "Go to, let us
- 13:33build us a city, a tower whose top may
- 13:35reach the heaven, and let us make us a
- 13:37name, lest we be scattered abroad upon
- 13:40the face of the whole earth." Watch
- 13:42this. "And the Lord came down to see the
- 13:44city and the tower." So, intentionality
- 13:49and thoughts captures the attention of
- 13:52both heaven and earth. This is
- 13:54important. God is watching, but people
- 13:57are watching, too.
- 13:59And the Bible says that God makes this
- 14:01comment.
- 14:02And his comment goes something like
- 14:04this.
- 14:05"And this they began to do. Now, nothing
- 14:09will be restrained for them which they
- 14:11have imagined to do." Absolutely nothing
- 14:13is going to be restrained. Nothing is
- 14:15going to be held back. And this is
- 14:17important. Intentionality
- 14:21causes heaven and earth to conspire to
- 14:24bring you the resources necessary for
- 14:27you to bring an idea to pass, to bring
- 14:31it from conceptualization
- 14:32to actualization.
- 14:35Um a lot of times, going back to my
- 14:37example, people have plan A and a plan B
- 14:39and a plan C. And it's sending mixed
- 14:42signals out in the realm of the spirit.
- 14:45The Bible talks about us having faith,
- 14:47and faith allows you to think and act on
- 14:51a different kind of frequency. You're
- 14:54picking up the frequency of innovation.
- 14:57You're tapping you're able to tap into
- 14:58the mind of of God. And the Bible said,
- 15:02"Nothing is going to be restrained from
- 15:04them which they have begun to do." That
- 15:06word restrain. In other words, nothing
- 15:08is going to be held back or held up. And
- 15:12I'm decreeing and declaring that in this
- 15:13season, whatever God has called you to
- 15:16do, whatever he has commissioned you to
- 15:18do, whether it's writing or building or
- 15:21dancing or acting, whether it's serving,
- 15:24whether it is um bringing breakthrough
- 15:27industry-specific ideas to the table,
- 15:30whether it's going into politics,
- 15:33whether it is um
- 15:35uh uh preaching or singing, whatever God
- 15:38has commissioned you to do, whatever
- 15:40ideas that are divine that belong um to
- 15:44this generation, I'm decreeing and
- 15:46declaring every resource necessary for
- 15:49you to fulfill it, for you to bring it
- 15:51to pass, is going to be released, and
- 15:54you're going to be able to see it. Now,
- 15:56the resources that God wants to give you
- 15:59will be in the form of relationships
- 16:01that you need, information that you
- 16:03need,
- 16:04opportunity that you need, finances that
- 16:07you need. Whatever the resources are,
- 16:10nothing will be restrained from you.
- 16:12There's nothing that's going to be held
- 16:14back and held up. And I'm decreeing and
- 16:17declaring that you are taking your
- 16:19thoughts seriously. God is visiting you
- 16:21in dreams. You're sitting, you're
- 16:23daydreaming. You have a prompting. God
- 16:26has revealed it to you. He has given you
- 16:29a prophetic word. You've been thinking
- 16:31about it. You've been obsessing over it.
- 16:34It may be God trying to get your
- 16:36attention to tell you that there is
- 16:39nothing that's going to be restrained
- 16:41from you. And whatever he has placed in
- 16:44your spirit and your heart, whatever
- 16:46ideas that you have, no matter how lofty
- 16:50they may seem, no matter how improbable
- 16:52they may seem, with God improbable they
- 16:55may seem, with God all things are
- 16:57possible. The earth never had brick,
- 17:00never had mortar, never never built a
- 17:03monument up to the sky. These were
- 17:05skyscrapers
- 17:07before there were cranes, before there
- 17:09was modern technology, before there were
- 17:12bulldozers. And they they they said,
- 17:15"This is what we want to do. This is
- 17:17what we intend to do." And that's what
- 17:20they did. And the Bible said they used
- 17:22the faculty of their imagination. When
- 17:25there is an innovation, the faculty of
- 17:29of imagination has always been
- 17:33activated. And I'm decreeing and
- 17:35declaring you will no longer sit with
- 17:37your minds idle. I decree God is filling
- 17:40your mind with the most incredible
- 17:43breakthrough ideas. And those are the
- 17:46ideas that you are taking seriously.
- 17:48Intentions
- 17:50activate resourcefulness. So, you're
- 17:53going to be resourceful. You're going to
- 17:55find a way to make it happen. There are
- 17:57some people that say, "I can't do it
- 17:59because I don't have money. I can't do
- 18:01it because I don't have education. I
- 18:02can't do it because nobody would help
- 18:04me." Those are just excuses. When have
- 18:07you have the intention to do something,
- 18:10heaven obligates itself to provide the
- 18:14resources, providing those ideas and
- 18:17those thoughts come from God.
- 18:19Number eight. The futures
- 18:22that we dream of are not ahead of us,
- 18:25they are inside of us. The Bible says
- 18:28that we he he puts eternity in our
- 18:30heart. And the biggest question is,
- 18:33where does your future come from? It
- 18:35comes from inside of you. They come as a
- 18:37result of your thoughts. They come as a
- 18:39result of your intention. They come as a
- 18:42result of your habits. They come as a
- 18:45result of your beliefs. They come as a
- 18:47result of your thoughts. Your future
- 18:50comes to you one thought at a time, one
- 18:52habit at a time, one action at a time,
- 18:55one prompting at a time, one dream at a
- 18:57time. That's where your future comes
- 18:59from. And in this new normal, I am I I
- 19:03am I am encouraging you to continue to
- 19:07to continue to say that with God all
- 19:10things are possible. Whenever God has
- 19:14has begins to speak to you, and whatever
- 19:17God has placed in your mind and in your
- 19:20heart, you have to set your attention to
- 19:24doing it, to becoming it, simply because
- 19:28if it came from God, no matter how
- 19:31improbable, it is still possible. And
- 19:34I'm going to say it again. If your
- 19:36dreams, your vision, the things that you
- 19:38have in your heart, your desire, came
- 19:40from God, no matter how improbable it
- 19:44seems,
- 19:45it is still possible. Because with God
- 19:48all things are possible. And so, when
- 19:50you set your attention, intention
- 19:53is the secret sauce that levels the
- 19:56playing field of success. Success comes
- 20:00when you are consistently
- 20:02acting in accordance with a vision, a
- 20:04dream, or a goal, or a desire. You have
- 20:07something that you want and you act in
- 20:10accordance with it. It's like going on a
- 20:12diet and saying, "Oh,
- 20:14um I I want to lose weight." And you're
- 20:16size 14 and you want to be a size eight,
- 20:19but all of your activities, you are
- 20:21eating like you're a size 16 person.
- 20:25You're eating a size 16 calorie,
- 20:27although you're you're size 14 and you
- 20:30say that, "Oh, I want to be a size
- 20:32eight." But yet your actions, your
- 20:34eating, your caloric intake is at the
- 20:37level of a size 16. So, and no matter
- 20:40how much you convince yourself, "Oh, I'm
- 20:43going to be a size eight in 6 months." 6
- 20:45months from now, guess what size you
- 20:47will be. Not a 14, but but a 16. Why?
- 20:51Because your action is in accordance
- 20:54with
- 20:56an outcome
- 20:57that you do not want, but your actions
- 21:02are not directed towards or in
- 21:05accordance with what you want. And so a
- 21:08lot of us play games with our own selves
- 21:12and we excuse ourselves. And one of the
- 21:15things that I say to those that I
- 21:17mentor, when you set your intentions,
- 21:21you establish clear goals. And those
- 21:25goals um actually reveal whether you
- 21:29have personal integrity or not. So, if
- 21:31you say to yourself, "Oh, my goal is to
- 21:34save, I don't know, $100 a month." But
- 21:37yet you spend everything that you earn,
- 21:40it's an issue of personal integrity. And
- 21:44we can use all the excuses we want, but
- 21:47an excuse sabotages
- 21:50your destiny. It's like shooting your
- 21:53your destiny at point-blank range. So,
- 21:57if you want success, success comes with
- 22:00constantly acting in accordance with a
- 22:04vision, a desire, an aspiration, a
- 22:07dream, or a specific result or outcome.
- 22:11And you act in accordance with that. It
- 22:14is God that gives you the desire to
- 22:18desire. And then he gives you that
- 22:20desire. And so if you have these desires
- 22:22that God has placed in your heart, you
- 22:24never really consider whether you have
- 22:28the skill or the ability or the finances
- 22:31to do anything. If that came from God,
- 22:34leave the details to him. Just
- 22:37continuously act in accordance with your
- 22:40outcome.
- 22:42Intentions
- 22:44are like a catalyst. It's a catalyst
- 22:47that causes you to put the effort into
- 22:51making a move towards the attainment of
- 22:54something that you would aspire to do,
- 22:57to achieve, to own, to acquire, or to
- 23:02accomplish. So, that means that you
- 23:05engage in activities in a conscious
- 23:08level with the full engagement and with
- 23:11the full knowledge that it's going to
- 23:13take lit
- 23:14risk. And there you know, you're going
- 23:17to have to have in a lot of instances um
- 23:20you're going to have to take a leap of
- 23:22faith. And even though
- 23:25there may seem as if
- 23:28failure is going to be results,
- 23:32intentions
- 23:33takes failure on the cheek and say,
- 23:37"That's just a the price that I pay for
- 23:40all future success." It's like
- 23:42interviewing Thomas Edison. You've heard
- 23:45the story probably hundreds of times
- 23:47within your lifetime. They were
- 23:48interviewing him and they said to him,
- 23:51"You know, weren't weren't you
- 23:53disappointed
- 23:54when you failed so many times? You
- 23:57failed a thousand times and and in
- 24:00trying to create the lightbulb." He
- 24:02said, "No, it never I never felt, you
- 24:04know, discouraged because I discovered a
- 24:07thousand ways not to create a
- 24:10lightbulb." And so when you have
- 24:12intentionality, usually people who are
- 24:16intentional about what they do also have
- 24:20a positive mental attitude. They're
- 24:23positive about their lives and their
- 24:25their frequency, a mental frequency is
- 24:29set at the level of positivity.
- 24:33Intentions
- 24:34actually cause you to take specific
- 24:37cour- courses of action based on
- 24:41um
- 24:43what you want to see come come come to
- 24:46pass, no matter how unfeasible
- 24:49it may seem to be. And so a lot of
- 24:52people that fail again because they have
- 24:55a plan B and they never really set their
- 24:57intention, they never attend intended to
- 25:00accomplish something, they start out
- 25:03with, "What if? What if I fail? What if
- 25:06people don't like it?" But the people
- 25:08that do succeed says, "Well, what if I
- 25:11do succeed?" And they build into the
- 25:14equation of their action a celebration
- 25:17for the inevitable. And the inevitable
- 25:21and eventual and eventuality is going to
- 25:25be the outcome that they desired. That
- 25:27outcome may take many twists on a
- 25:31journey that has many twists and turns,
- 25:34but they ended up they they end up there
- 25:36anyway. It's like the dreams of Joseph.
- 25:40And he was able to say to his brother,
- 25:41"Look, I don't hold any anger towards
- 25:44you. You meant it for bad, God meant it
- 25:46for good." Because he set his face
- 25:50towards
- 25:51him being in a position of power. And
- 25:55although again he ended up in many
- 25:57circumstances that looked like his
- 26:00dream, his vision wouldn't come to pass,
- 26:03but yet it did come to pass because
- 26:05heaven got involved. And whatever you
- 26:08set your intention to do, heaven is
- 26:10going to get get involved. Heaven is
- 26:13going to make sure that your resources
- 26:16are made available to you. Whatever
- 26:18resources you need in order to bring
- 26:20that vision to pass. And it's
- 26:21interesting because sometimes we do need
- 26:24a crisis. That crisis sometimes we do
- 26:27need to be rejected. Sometimes we do
- 26:29need things to go south because it
- 26:32exposes
- 26:34hidden potential. It exposes the hidden
- 26:37seed of greatness. And that's what
- 26:39intentionality is all about.
- 26:41Intentionality never looks at obstacles
- 26:45and never looks at limitations, never
- 26:47looks at lack. It means that you are
- 26:50able to
- 26:52act in accordance with your dreams, your
- 26:54visions, your outcome,
- 26:56but you're also able to defy the odds.
- 27:00So, intentionality
- 27:01totally
- 27:03embraces the whole idea of risk. And
- 27:06either you're going to risk your past
- 27:09for your future or with risk your future
- 27:11for your past, either one or the other.
- 27:14Intentionality therefore makes your
- 27:17vision clear, crystal clear. You have
- 27:20you have clarity in your vision, clarity
- 27:23in your assignment, you have sharper,
- 27:25stronger ability to over to overlook
- 27:31obstacles, and it makes it easy when you
- 27:34set your mind to do something, then
- 27:37those things that seem as if they are
- 27:39insurmountable, whether it's a situation
- 27:42or circumstance where you whether you
- 27:44suffer hardship, then in- intentionality
- 27:48looks at these things and they declare,
- 27:51"Nothing is going to stop me."
- 27:53Intentionality makes you unstoppable.
- 27:57Int- Intentions
- 27:59takes you into what I call next-level
- 28:02thinking. One of the things that Albert
- 28:04Einstein said, he said, "You can never
- 28:07solve a problem on the level on which it
- 28:09was created." And I realized that when
- 28:13we look at our lives and we look at the
- 28:16different components in our lives, our
- 28:18finances, we look at our relationships,
- 28:21we look at our careers and and our
- 28:23businesses, we look at sometimes the
- 28:26mess that we've made because of poor
- 28:29decisions and because of a faulty life
- 28:31strategy, and then we get upset because
- 28:35we are in the middle of a problem or we
- 28:36messed something up. But again, Albert
- 28:38Einstein said, "You can never solve a
- 28:41problem on the level on which it was
- 28:42created." So, I always say, if you're
- 28:45going to solve the problem of your past,
- 28:48it's going to take next-level thinking
- 28:50to get you into your future. You can't
- 28:53you cannot think at the same level. That
- 28:55means your thoughts should be different
- 28:57from last year. Your thoughts should be
- 28:59different even from this month. And if
- 29:02you're thinking at the same level,
- 29:05you're going to be on repeat
- 29:08concerning your life. At the end of this
- 29:11year, you're going to have the same
- 29:12amount of money, the same struggles, the
- 29:13same problems. And then they at the end
- 29:16of the next year, same amount of money,
- 29:18the same problems. And it's never going
- 29:20to be based on, "Oh, I'm going to get
- 29:22another job or I'm going to get more
- 29:25friends." You're just going to repeat it
- 29:28because your future is coming to you one
- 29:30thought at a time. Your future comes
- 29:32from within you. And when you're able to
- 29:34harness the faculty of intention, I I
- 29:37tell you, intentions is a faculty of the
- 29:41mind. And a lot of us don't use that
- 29:46faculty. Turn with me to Mark chapter 2
- 29:48verses 1 to 12. The Bible said again he
- 29:50entered into Capernaum after some days
- 29:53and it was noised that he was in the
- 29:56house and straightway many were gathered
- 29:58together in so much that there was no
- 30:00room to receive them. No, not so much as
- 30:03about the door and he preached the word
- 30:06unto them and they came unto him
- 30:08bringing one sick of the palsy which had
- 30:11was born of four. So there he had four
- 30:13friends that were carrying him and he
- 30:15was number five. Five is the number of
- 30:17grace but I'm not talking about grace
- 30:18right now. But he had friends that were
- 30:21able to come into agreement with him
- 30:23that he was going to be healed. When
- 30:25they got there
- 30:27there was no room. There were people
- 30:29standing around the door. The Bible said
- 30:31in verse number four and when they could
- 30:32not come nigh unto him for the press
- 30:35they uncovered the roof where he was
- 30:37thinking. This is next level thinking.
- 30:40And when they had broken it up they let
- 30:42down the bed wherein the sick of the
- 30:44palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith he
- 30:47said unto the sick of palsy, "Son, thy
- 30:49sins be forgiven." But there were
- 30:51certain of the scribes sitting there and
- 30:54reasoning in their hearts, "Why does
- 30:55this man speak blaspheming? Who can
- 30:58forgive sins but God only?" And
- 31:00immediately when Jesus perceived in his
- 31:02spirit that they had so reasoned with
- 31:05them themselves. Remember we talked
- 31:07about how thoughts
- 31:09travel on a frequency and it thoughts
- 31:12have energy so Jesus is picking up their
- 31:14energy. Jesus is picking up their
- 31:16thoughts. He because he he's tracking
- 31:18them
- 31:19and you know in the spirit realm and and
- 31:22the Bible said they they were saying why
- 31:25Jesus said to them, "Why reason ye these
- 31:28things in your heart? Whether it's easy
- 31:30to say to the sick of the palsy, 'Thy
- 31:32sins be forgiven thee' or say 'Arise and
- 31:35take up thy thy bed and walk.' But that
- 31:37ye may know that the son of man hath
- 31:39power on earth to forgive sins. He saith
- 31:43to the sick of the palsy, 'I say unto
- 31:45rise, take up your your bed and go thy
- 31:47way into thy house.' And immediately he
- 31:50arose, took up his bed, went forth
- 31:52before them all. Now watch this. In so
- 31:55much that they were all amazed and
- 31:57glorified God saying, "We never saw it
- 32:00in this fashion before." And that is
- 32:02going to happen to you. People are going
- 32:04to look at your life and they're going
- 32:06to wonder, "How did you get those
- 32:08results?" And you know something? It
- 32:10takes a lot of risk. Write this down
- 32:13that intentionality
- 32:15moves you into the realm of risk.
- 32:18Intentional people are risk-takers and
- 32:22risk-takers
- 32:23are the ones who achieve greatness. And
- 32:26I'm decreeing and declaring that you are
- 32:29not going to play it safe. You're going
- 32:32to activate next level thinking. You're
- 32:35going to the Bible said if you then be
- 32:37risen with
- 32:38Christ
- 32:39seek those things which are above and
- 32:42not beneath. Go to the next level in
- 32:44your thinking. And in our text the roof
- 32:47represents limiting beliefs also known
- 32:50as self-imposed limitations and fear and
- 32:53they ripped the roof off. They removed
- 32:56their limitations and here is something
- 32:59that one of my favorite author said, Aug
- 33:01Mandino. He said, "Your your only
- 33:04limitations are those you set up in your
- 33:07mind or permit or permit others to set
- 33:09up for you." So if your only limitations
- 33:12are your thoughts the moment you change
- 33:14your thoughts you have no limitation.
- 33:17The scripture says that these people
- 33:19were all amazed. It literally blew their
- 33:22mind. And I'm decreeing and declaring
- 33:24that as you set your intentions to do
- 33:28what God has commissioned you to do, to
- 33:29start that business, to go back to
- 33:31school, to do whatever he has
- 33:34commissioned to do,
- 33:36that's when you are literally going to
- 33:38blow people's mind. People are going to
- 33:40stand back and they're not even going to
- 33:42believe that you did it in the midst of
- 33:44pandemic. You bought it in the midst of
- 33:46pandemic.
- 33:48You started it in the midst of the
- 33:50pandemic. You traveled in the midst of
- 33:52pandemic. When other people are buckling
- 33:55down you were going for it. And I'm
- 33:58decreeing and declaring that whatever
- 34:01vision or dream you have you will not
- 34:04just sit idly by waiting for something
- 34:07to happen. In this season you are going
- 34:10to make it happen and you're going to do
- 34:12it with intentionality. It's all about
- 34:15mind over matter. I remember reading the
- 34:17story of Sarah and it's recorded in
- 34:20Genesis chapter 18 verses 11 to 15 how
- 34:23she received a word and she laughed
- 34:25within herself and she said, "Look,
- 34:27Abraham is old. I'm old. You know,
- 34:30there's no way that that can happen."
- 34:32And then the response was, "It's Is
- 34:35there anything too hard for God?" You
- 34:38remember when you set your intention you
- 34:40get the attention of two realms, the
- 34:44attention of heaven and the attention of
- 34:47earth. And the Bible said in Hebrews 11
- 34:5011 to 12 it really gives us insight as
- 34:53to how Sarah got became pregnant even
- 34:56though she was past the bearing age. It
- 34:58says, "Through faith also Sarah herself
- 35:01received strength to conceive seed and
- 35:04was delivered of a child when she was
- 35:06past age because she judged him faithful
- 35:09who had promised. There's Therefore
- 35:11sprang there even of one and him as good
- 35:14as dead so many as the stars in the sky
- 35:18in multitude as the sand which is by the
- 35:20sea shore innumerable." And so you know
- 35:24the question that I that that I want to
- 35:26ask you.
- 35:27When it comes to Sarah why couldn't she
- 35:30have a child? And I think that she
- 35:33lacked the ability to conceive how God
- 35:37was going to do it. And here is where a
- 35:40lot of people make a mistake. They look
- 35:44at their
- 35:46their their lives. They look at their
- 35:48pocketbook. They look at their bank
- 35:49account and they disqualify themselves
- 35:53and they begin to speak negatively in
- 35:56their mind. This is not going to happen
- 35:58because nobody likes me. Nobody knows
- 36:01me. I don't have enough money. And these
- 36:03are limiting thoughts. And so the second
- 36:06question that I want to ask you, are
- 36:08your thoughts limiting your life? And
- 36:12and this is a big question because we we
- 36:15want to talk about the devil. We want to
- 36:17talk about our fathers, what they didn't
- 36:19do, what they
- 36:20should have done. We want to talk about
- 36:22our boss. We want to talk about this or
- 36:23that or the other but we never look at
- 36:26our lives. And it wasn't until Sarah was
- 36:30able to conceive in her mind that it is
- 36:33possible for her to be pregnant. It
- 36:37wasn't until that moment in time that
- 36:40she became pregnant. And so the
- 36:42barrenness of mind is barrenness of
- 36:45body. And I talk about it, mind over
- 36:48matter. And our mind is stronger than
- 36:52matter and a lot of people have
- 36:54non-productive thoughts so there's
- 36:56non-productivity in their lives. Their
- 36:59businesses not are not producing. Their
- 37:01relationships are not producing. They're
- 37:03not producing ideas. They're not doing
- 37:06the things that they have the potential
- 37:08to do because of their own mindset. And
- 37:11as long as as Sarah remained barren in
- 37:15her mind she remained barren in her
- 37:17body. But the moment she was able to
- 37:19conceive this as possible was when the
- 37:23spirit of barrenness was broken.
- 37:26Barrenness is akin to non-productivity
- 37:28and I'm going to decree and declare your
- 37:30days of non-productivity are over. Your
- 37:33days of working one whole year and not
- 37:36having anything to show for that year of
- 37:39work are over. I decree that at the end
- 37:42of this year you will double your
- 37:44income. I decree and declare you're
- 37:46going to have more friends than you know
- 37:48what to do with. You are going to have
- 37:50more opportunities than you know what to
- 37:52do with. You're going to be able to give
- 37:54away opportunities. I'm decreeing and
- 37:56declaring that the spirit of barren and
- 37:58is barrenness is broken off of your
- 38:01mind. You have an extraordinary mind.
- 38:04Where does your future come from? It
- 38:06doesn't come from without. It comes from
- 38:08within. As a man thinketh so is he.
- 38:11Change your thoughts, change your life.
- 38:13And I decree and declare that even in
- 38:16your business this is going to be the
- 38:17most productive year that you will ever
- 38:19have. I decree and declare you are
- 38:22doubling bottom line activities and
- 38:25every activity is
- 38:26activity is going to be positive it's
- 38:29going to have a positive effect on your
- 38:32business. When I think about you that
- 38:35are engaging in business and so many
- 38:36people are going into business. There
- 38:38are so many people that are
- 38:40entrepreneurs. And I'm thinking about
- 38:43specific company owners
- 38:45that took the courage to start their
- 38:49business. And
- 38:51it means that they took a risk. A lot of
- 38:53them took a risk. I was reading about
- 38:55SparkNotes. Everybody that's been to
- 38:57university and and college knows about
- 39:00SparkNotes. Spark SparkNotes. And this
- 39:05particular business was started by a man
- 39:07by the name of Sam Yagan. And in his
- 39:10words he said, "Starting my first
- 39:11company, SparkNotes, right out of
- 39:14college I didn't know what I was doing.
- 39:16Now all high school and college students
- 39:18love it but at the time it was a crazy
- 39:21idea to turn down a job to go start an
- 39:24internet company. And since then
- 39:27deciding to sell to sell a company we
- 39:30built OKCupid into being one of the best
- 39:33dating sites out there. When you're an
- 39:36entrepreneur and you sell your company
- 39:39that is a career decision. Becoming a
- 39:41part of match.com and a part of IAC was
- 39:45something that was a big move. In other
- 39:47words, he was simply saying, "Look, I
- 39:49intended to do it and I
- 39:52held my nose and jump." And sometimes
- 39:55you just got to hold your nose and jump.
- 39:57And I was reading about him. I was
- 39:59reading about Jimmy Kimmel being a talk
- 40:02show host. He said, "I I haven't really
- 40:04had to take any risk because I've been
- 40:07fired from each job. It is worked out,
- 40:11but there's no risk whatsoever." So, he
- 40:13said, "Every job I had, I was fired
- 40:15from." But look at Jimmy Kimmel now. You
- 40:18have
- 40:19he played in House of Cards episodes.
- 40:22There's Sara Blakely that founded Spanx.
- 40:25She took all of her savings
- 40:27from selling fax machines and she put it
- 40:30into business and she shot her rear hand
- 40:33and the rest is history. She literally
- 40:35put her butt on the line and she went
- 40:38out on a limb. Arianna Huffington, the
- 40:40editor of Huffington Post Media Group,
- 40:44when she started her business, she said,
- 40:46"I started my business post Huffington
- 40:49Post in my 50s and
- 40:52that's
- 40:53that's
- 40:55risk-taking if if I can ever say that."
- 40:58And there's Jack Dorsey. He's the
- 41:01co-founder of Twitter and Square. He
- 41:04said, "I didn't know if there is
- 41:06something that's the riskiest. I'm
- 41:09scared every single day and it's a good
- 41:12thing. You want to take big risk." So,
- 41:14when we talk about intentionality,
- 41:17usually it pushes you into the realm of
- 41:21risk. And this is why people end up not
- 41:26doing something because they're scared.
- 41:29But all of these people talk about how
- 41:31they took a risk. Jack Dorsey, the
- 41:33co-founder of Twitter. If we didn't have
- 41:35Twitter if if if he didn't take the
- 41:37risk, if he didn't feel the fear and do
- 41:40it anyway, we wouldn't have Twitter. And
- 41:42I can go on and on and give you examples
- 41:44of people who had ideas and they were
- 41:47crazy ideas. They were novel ideas. They
- 41:51were inventive ideas and they took the
- 41:55chance. They they they they they said,
- 41:58"I'm going out on a limb. I'm taking all
- 42:00my savings and this better work." And
- 42:03they made it work. When it comes to you,
- 42:06you've got to understand
- 42:08that in our text, we we we talked about
- 42:11these four and they had a they had a
- 42:14vision. The vision was that their friend
- 42:16was going to be healed, but they were
- 42:20restricted. There were prohib
- 42:22prohibitions at the door. They couldn't
- 42:25move past the door.
- 42:26But God gave them an idea. It was like a
- 42:29spark of genius. It's a spark of
- 42:31inspiration. If you can't go through the
- 42:34door,
- 42:35you need to practice next level
- 42:37thinking. Go to the roof.
- 42:40And a lot of us are so comfortable
- 42:43with things as usual.
- 42:46Even individuals that are working in
- 42:48companies and if you're working for a
- 42:50company and you you you understand that
- 42:53every company is pivoting and there's
- 42:55going to be nothing that is usual. It's
- 42:58called a new normal for a reason.
- 43:01You have to learn how to pivot. And for
- 43:04those of you that are called to great
- 43:06ministries and great businesses,
- 43:09um you you really need to check God and
- 43:11ask him, "God, do you want me to
- 43:14continue here or do you want me to start
- 43:16start my own business?" A lot of people
- 43:18start their business and then they go
- 43:20back to the marketplace because they
- 43:23didn't count on overhead. They didn't
- 43:26count on taxes. They didn't count count
- 43:29on unemployment and I can go on and on
- 43:32and on why people run back. You have to
- 43:34decide, "Okay, am I called to work in
- 43:38the business, to work on the business,
- 43:41or to work with the business, or to
- 43:44create my own business?" And I think
- 43:47that
- 43:48I I remember reading the story about a
- 43:50man by the name of Mr. Barnes. And he
- 43:53said, "I'm going to work with Thomas
- 43:57Edison."
- 43:59And he wanted to work with not in the
- 44:01business, but work with him and it took
- 44:03him 5 years and after 5 years, he
- 44:05finally gets a job to work with him.
- 44:08And um he worked his way right up, but
- 44:11it took him 5 years to get there and he
- 44:14was faithful to the end. So, you know,
- 44:18I think of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
- 44:20Steve Jobs owned the business. Wozniak
- 44:22was quite happy to be creating those
- 44:25com- computers behind the scene. So, as
- 44:28you begin to pray, if you're going to
- 44:30start your business, then you have to
- 44:33understand that there's risk, but
- 44:35there's also responsibility and you have
- 44:37to be able to pray pay the price.
- 44:39Intentions take you to new performance
- 44:43heights and it brings you incredible
- 44:46results. Mark chapter 5 verse 25 to 35.
- 44:50And the Bible said, "And a certain woman
- 44:52which had an issue of blood 12 years and
- 44:55had suffered many things of many
- 44:57physicians and had spent all that she
- 44:59had and was not the better, but grew
- 45:02worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came
- 45:04in the press and touched the hem of his
- 45:07garment. For she said, "If I may touch
- 45:10but his clothes, I shall be whole." This
- 45:13is the whole idea of intentionality. She
- 45:16had in her mind a picture.
- 45:18And that picture said, "All I have to do
- 45:20is touch." That means that she was con-
- 45:23she was calling on her feet. She was she
- 45:25was dodging the feet of others, dodging
- 45:29being crushed at the foot of others,
- 45:31being stepped on.
- 45:33But she let absolutely nothing stop her.
- 45:37Intentions, therefore, is a spiritual
- 45:40technology of the mind that gives birth
- 45:42not only to next level thinking,
- 45:45but it magnetizes
- 45:47your mind with intention and attracts to
- 45:51itself the things, the opportunity, the
- 45:53experiences, and the resources, as well
- 45:56as the people that are that are in
- 45:59harmony with their thoughts. So,
- 46:01everybody is moving around, bumping
- 46:03against Jesus, but this one woman on the
- 46:06ground gets healed. Why? Because she set
- 46:11her intention to be healed. Others could
- 46:14have been healed, but it was this woman
- 46:18and he said, "Who touched me? I felt I
- 46:21literally felt
- 46:23the virtue go out of me." And you
- 46:25remember we talk and we talking about
- 46:27frequencies. When you think at a certain
- 46:30frequency, you attract the things and
- 46:34people that are in accord with that
- 46:39frequency. And so, she wanted to be
- 46:42healed. We know that
- 46:44sickness operates at a certain frequency
- 46:48and it can be measured in megahertz. But
- 46:51we also know healing can be measured in
- 46:54megahertz as well. And so, when she
- 46:57touched Jesus,
- 46:59he felt energy
- 47:01go out of him. Virtue. He felt the
- 47:03energy being pulled out of him. And so,
- 47:07you are either bringing things and
- 47:09people to you by your thoughts or you're
- 47:12repelling them. And this is why the
- 47:14Bible says, you know, "Let this mind be
- 47:16in you which was also in Christ Jesus.
- 47:18Whatsoever things are true and honest
- 47:20and judge and praiseworthy and lovely
- 47:22and of good report, the think on those
- 47:25things." Because you're setting yourself
- 47:27up for future manifestation.
- 47:30So, instead of you just sitting idly,
- 47:35you need to be like those five friends,
- 47:38four of them carrying their friend with
- 47:39a deficit. You need to be like that
- 47:42woman.
- 47:43You are setting your attention to
- 47:45accomplishing something and doing
- 47:48something. And a lot of us allow our
- 47:51emotions to get in the way. Emotions,
- 47:53basically, are these biochemical
- 47:55bioelectrical impulses of the brain and
- 47:58your mind is more powerful than your
- 48:01brain. So, let's not have a carnal mind.
- 48:05The Bible said you either choose the
- 48:07mind of the spirit or the mind of the
- 48:09flesh but which is the carnal mind and
- 48:12the carnal mind is just biochemical
- 48:14bioelectrical impulses that interprets
- 48:17experiences internally and externally
- 48:19around you. Never allow your emotions to
- 48:23control what you do. I always say, "Feel
- 48:28the emotions, but don't let it feel
- 48:31you." You you have to work past your
- 48:33emotions. You cannot allow your emotions
- 48:36to have control over your mind because
- 48:39it would shoot success, prosperity, and
- 48:41progress at point-blank range and it's
- 48:44going to sabotage your brilliance and
- 48:46your genius. It's going to undermine
- 48:49your potential. It'll undermine your
- 48:51wealth generating the wealth generating
- 48:53power of your mind. I think that even
- 48:56when it comes to poverty, poor people
- 48:58don't need money.
- 49:00Poor people need an idea.
- 49:01And this is what happened to the um I
- 49:05think it's in 2 Kings chapter 4. The
- 49:08widower.
- 49:09And she said, "You know, my husband's
- 49:10dead. They're getting ready to the
- 49:12creditors are coming to take my son."
- 49:15And what the prophet didn't give her was
- 49:18money. What the prophet gave her was the
- 49:21ability to think for herself. Gave her
- 49:23an idea. And she set her intentions to
- 49:26bring that idea to idea to pass. And she
- 49:29was able to come out of debt and she was
- 49:32able to leave an inheritance for her
- 49:34son. And this was a widow woman. And so
- 49:37we need next level thinking. We need to
- 49:40be able to take our life to the next
- 49:42level.
- 49:44We need to change our ideas about how we
- 49:47see ourselves. You are not a victim of
- 49:49circumstances. You are more than a
- 49:51conqueror. Greater is he that is in you
- 49:54than he that is in the world.
- 49:57When you begin to understand how
- 50:00powerful you are, you begin to
- 50:02understand your point of power is not
- 50:06you and you alone. It is God himself.
- 50:09And you serve a God of possibilities.
- 50:12And the Bible said, "If you have the
- 50:15faith as a grain of mustard seed, you
- 50:18are going to pitch at another realm and
- 50:20in another level of frequency. You're
- 50:23going to be able to say to mountains,
- 50:25'Be thou hence removed and
- 50:28go to a yonder place.' And the Bible
- 50:30said, 'Nothing shall be impossible for
- 50:33you because that mountain is going to
- 50:36move.' A lot of us have faith in God,
- 50:38but we don't have faith in who God has
- 50:40made us to be. We are earthly
- 50:42representatives. When God said, "Let
- 50:44your light show so shine before men that
- 50:46they may see your good works, glorify uh
- 50:49your father which is in heaven." He's
- 50:51talking about you being that light. You
- 50:55with your genius. You with your
- 50:58intelligence bringing that to the table
- 51:00and making a difference in your family
- 51:03and in the world around you. In the days
- 51:06to come, you're going to see God raising
- 51:09up these incredible thinkers and they're
- 51:11going to be like Noah was in his day. In
- 51:15Noah's day, he was a disrupter,
- 51:18but he paid attention to what idea that
- 51:20God gave him. And that idea was to build
- 51:22a ark. It's like a ship. There was
- 51:24nobody in his community that had had
- 51:27ever built a ship. There was no industry
- 51:30that was uh ship a ship building
- 51:32industry. In fact, it had never rained.
- 51:35And the Bible says, "As in the days of
- 51:37Noah, so shall it be at the coming of
- 51:39the Lord they are eating and drinking
- 51:40and giving in marriage until the flood
- 51:42came." And so these are the days that
- 51:45God likened to the days of Noah. And
- 51:48Noah's days were days of innovation. And
- 51:51so too are our days. And when we think
- 51:54about Noah as a disrupter, God gave him
- 51:57an innovative idea that no one had ever
- 52:00imagined, no one had ever dreamed of, no
- 52:03one ever thought of. And that thought of
- 52:05was impossible and they laughed at him.
- 52:07But when the rain start coming, um the
- 52:11joke was over. And the Bible indicated
- 52:15that he was able to consult God. God
- 52:18gave him heads up concerning uh trends
- 52:21and mega trends and how the world was
- 52:22going to change and how he was going to
- 52:24ride the winds the the waves of change.
- 52:27And I'm decreeing and declaring that you
- 52:30are not going to be swept away by these
- 52:32waves of change. You are going to be a
- 52:34disrupter. You're going to have next
- 52:37level thinking. You're going to bring
- 52:39the creative force of your mind to bear
- 52:42as God gives you sparks of inspiration
- 52:45that you are going to take seriously.
- 52:48And I'm activating the anointing of
- 52:50innovation upon you. I decree and
- 52:53declare the old way of thinking has come
- 52:56to an end and God is going to give you
- 52:58next level thinking. And it's going to
- 53:00show up in your work. Those of you that
- 53:02are
- 53:03decision making in industry and other
- 53:05businesses, I decree and declare you are
- 53:08going to be not only innovators, but
- 53:11you're going to be indispensable.
- 53:13They will never be able to fire you
- 53:15because you are going to bring so much
- 53:16value to the table. As a disrupter, you
- 53:20have to think differently. As a
- 53:22disrupter, you have to have creative
- 53:25thoughts, innovative thoughts,
- 53:26breakthrough thoughts. And I decree and
- 53:29declare that God right now through the
- 53:31Holy Spirit is increasing your capacity
- 53:34to think. And even as those five, they
- 53:37ripped the roof off, I decree right now
- 53:40the anointing is destroying limitations
- 53:43and lids. I decree that the heavens are
- 53:46open over you. Noah had to think
- 53:49differently. He had to imagine. He had
- 53:51to visualize. He had to conceptualize.
- 53:54He had to organize. He had to procreate.
- 53:58He had to originate. He had to
- 54:00contemplate. He had to develop theories
- 54:02and models and he had to meditate and
- 54:05ponder. He had to come into realization.
- 54:08He had to rationalize and design and
- 54:11build. He had to create blueprints and
- 54:13schematics. He had to construct. He had
- 54:16to put his hands to the plow. He had to
- 54:18form. He had to bring elements together.
- 54:21He had to reason. He had to have
- 54:22understanding and comprehension. He had
- 54:25to manipulate and facilitate. He had to
- 54:28cultivate his thoughts. He had to
- 54:30arrange, organize. He had to amalgamate.
- 54:34He had to orchestrate. He had to
- 54:35harmonize. He had to blend. He had to
- 54:37believe. He had to adapt. He had to
- 54:40coordinate. He had to maneuver. He He
- 54:43had to have the the advantage. He had to
- 54:46think outside of the box. He had to
- 54:48think counterculture.
- 54:51And he did it all because he took his
- 54:53thoughts seriously. And I decree and
- 54:55declare that even today, you are going
- 54:59to be moving into a new level of
- 55:02innovation. I decree and declare that
- 55:05God is activating critical thinking. I
- 55:08decree that even now, you are going to
- 55:11create an atmosphere for your thoughts
- 55:13to begin to blossom. I decree and
- 55:15declare wherever you show up, the
- 55:17atmosphere and the environment is
- 55:19shifting. I decree that God is going to
- 55:22give you the ability to think outside of
- 55:24the box. In fact, he's going to give you
- 55:26the ability to create boxes that other
- 55:29people think outside of. And you know
- 55:32some something that I I I've come to
- 55:35realize is that we really don't know who
- 55:38we are. And I decree and declare that
- 55:41even as Adam fell from a realm where he
- 55:43was pitching at a very high level of
- 55:46frequency of innovation that gave him
- 55:49authority and dominion, I decree and
- 55:51declare that same anointing is coming
- 55:53upon you. What the first Adam lost, the
- 55:57second Adam restored. I decree and
- 55:59declare you have a new kingdom paradigm
- 56:02that you're thinking differently. That
- 56:05you're going to next level in your
- 56:07thinking. You're elevating your
- 56:09thoughts. I decree that in this season,
- 56:11this is going to be the most innovative
- 56:13you've ever been. I decree that God is
- 56:15going to take you into new realms of
- 56:17success and and new realms of
- 56:19creativity. I decree that you lead
- 56:22change. I decree that you will not only
- 56:24prophesy change, you are going to be
- 56:26provoking change because from today
- 56:29onward, you are going to be an agent of
- 56:31change. You are going to influence
- 56:33change in your industry. People are
- 56:36going to use you as their model. They're
- 56:39going to be following your trends. I
- 56:41decree just like Noah was a trendsetter
- 56:43in his day, I decree you are going to be
- 56:47a trendsetter in your day. Now, you
- 56:50know, people begin to understand how
- 56:53creative Steven Jobs wa- was. But I
- 56:55decree that that level of creativity
- 56:58what is not restricted only to Steven
- 57:01Jobs. I decree a new level of genius is
- 57:04coming upon you. And where you may lack
- 57:07in experience, where you may lack in
- 57:09ability, where you may lack in exposure,
- 57:12I decree and declare the gifts of the
- 57:14spirit are being made available to you
- 57:17on demand. And as we begin to bring this
- 57:20to a close, I decree that you have the
- 57:23mind of Christ. Let this mind be in you
- 57:26which is also in Christ Jesus. I decree
- 57:30that this is going to be the most
- 57:32intentional you will ever live. I decree
- 57:35that you will begin to understand that
- 57:37an intention is a bridge between who you
- 57:39are and who you have the potential to
- 57:42be. I decree that the next best version
- 57:45of yourself is being um revealed. You
- 57:49have not come into your greatest hour.
- 57:51Your greatest hour is just ahead of you.
- 57:54I decree you are not giving up on your
- 57:56dreams. You are not throwing casting
- 57:59your your your faith to the side and and
- 58:03and throwing your inventions in a corner
- 58:06where it gathers dust. I decree and
- 58:08declare that that even as intention has
- 58:12a byproduct, I decree and declare every
- 58:15byproduct from your your your genius is
- 58:19being built. Is being made. Is being
- 58:22created. Today, you are going to get rid
- 58:25of your self-doubt because it's going to
- 58:27destroy your dreams. I decree and
- 58:29declare that you will not suffer from
- 58:32possibility blindness. I decree you're
- 58:34having an eye-opening experience. You
- 58:36are beginning to understand if it's
- 58:38going to be, it's going to be up to you.
- 58:41And I also believe that even as
- 58:44intentions never ever
- 58:47takes no for an answer, um I decree
- 58:52that from today on for you, no is is not
- 58:56a final and all things are going to be
- 58:59possible. I decree that you are rising
- 59:01up today and you are taking your place
- 59:04amongst the great because you intend to
- 59:08do it. Intention is the motivation
- 59:11behind action. And where you see
- 59:14inactivity, it is because people never
- 59:18intended to do something. But that is
- 59:20not you. As God gives you dreams, as God
- 59:23gives you vision, as God gives you
- 59:25insight, I believe you're going to sit
- 59:27down. You're going to count the cost.
- 59:29You're going to build your strategy.
- 59:30You're going to establish your goals and
- 59:33you're going to bring those ideas from
- 59:36conceptualization
- 59:37into the realm of
- 59:39fruition in Jesus name. Amen. Let us
- 59:43pray. Our Father in the God, we thank
- 59:45you for the second installment for
- 59:47intentions. Which of you intending to
- 59:50build does not first sit down
- 59:53and decide how much it will take to
- 59:55finish. That you are able to count the
- 59:57cost. And I decree and declare we are
- 59:59counting the cost. We're going out on
- 1:00:01the limb. We're making the sacrifice. We
- 1:00:03are taking the risk. We're going to
- 1:00:05start it. We're going to build it. We're
- 1:00:07going to write it. We're going to own
- 1:00:09it. We're going to move it. We're going
- 1:00:10to dance it. We're going to sing it.
- 1:00:13Whatever ideas you have placed in our
- 1:00:15hearts, I decree that we intend to bring
- 1:00:18it to pass in Jesus name. Amen. God
- 1:00:22bless you.
- 1:00:24I hope today's message really challenged
- 1:00:26and provoked you to take your
- 1:00:27intentionality to the next level. Once
- 1:00:30you realize that intentionality causes
- 1:00:32heaven and earth to conspire to bring
- 1:00:35your vision to pass, you'll be that much
- 1:00:37closer to manifestation of your dreams,
- 1:00:39visions, and goals. To all of the
