  1. 0:06We are in a season of innovation and
  2. 0:08breakthrough. The playing field has
  3. 0:10definitely been leveled for everyone.
  4. 0:13It is important for us to pay attention
  5. 0:15to the ideas that come from God.
  6. 0:17Ideas start as a simple spark of
  7. 0:20inspiration that only belongs to those
  8. 0:22who pay attention to them. Set your
  9. 0:25intention to put action to the ideas
  10. 0:28that God has given you. Set your
  11. 0:30attention to rise up as an innovator, a
  12. 0:33new species of believers. Set your
  13. 0:36intention to capture the thoughts and
  14. 0:39allow heaven and earth to conspire to
  15. 0:41bring those necessary resources to you.
  16. 0:44Whatever you intend to do, know that
  17. 0:47heaven will get involved, which will
  18. 0:50make you unstoppable and bring you into
  19. 0:53the realm of next level thinking. So,
  20. 0:57let's begin.
  21. 1:05Welcome to the second installment on our
  22. 1:08topic that we're treating the power of
  23. 1:11intentionality.
  24. 1:14In this season, um I believe it's a
  25. 1:17period of great innovation, great
  26. 1:20breakthroughs. We're in industry 4.0.
  27. 1:23And as you're aware, all of the industry
  28. 1:25started with someone that had a new
  29. 1:28idea.
  30. 1:29In industry 4.0,
  31. 1:32um I believe that you're going to see so
  32. 1:35many people giving breakthrough ideas
  33. 1:38and they're going to be
  34. 1:39industry-specific ideas. From from nano
  35. 1:42tech to bio tech, we're going to see
  36. 1:46smart homes becoming like a thing of the
  37. 1:48past. The next generation of children
  38. 1:51that will be born in the earth realm, um
  39. 1:54they will be born into a world that it's
  40. 1:59um run by RV and AI and um
  41. 2:04you know, we'll be living in virtual
  42. 2:07realities and we would have to
  43. 2:09decompress in a decompression chambers
  44. 2:13and pods to disconnect from a
  45. 2:16hyperconnected world. We know that we
  46. 2:19have IoT, the Internet of Things.
  47. 2:22Everything will be talking to one
  48. 2:24another. It's almost like living in Star
  49. 2:26Trek. It's kind of like a Star Trek
  50. 2:29generation and this is going to be
  51. 2:31normal. And I believe that when we begin
  52. 2:34to read scripture, we begin to
  53. 2:36understand how incredible the mind is.
  54. 2:40And for those of you that want to start
  55. 2:43businesses or you have ideas that maybe
  56. 2:47you'll be maybe able to see a
  57. 2:49industry-specific breakthrough, but you
  58. 2:51question whether or not the someone
  59. 2:54would actually buy into it or buy from
  60. 2:58you as you create these great
  61. 3:01innovations.
  62. 3:03Um if it
  63. 3:04these thoughts have been sparked by God,
  64. 3:07then nothing is going to be impossible.
  65. 3:09And so I'm believing that out of um our
  66. 3:12kingdom, the kingdom of light, we will
  67. 3:15see a rise of um innovators, individuals
  68. 3:19that are used like God used those uh
  69. 3:23great um biblical figure figures and and
  70. 3:27personalities that we've come to love
  71. 3:30and come to admire. And I believe that
  72. 3:33this generation is going to see a new
  73. 3:36species of believers that are going to
  74. 3:38be um industry leaders and legislators.
  75. 3:42These individuals are going to be used
  76. 3:44by God to push humanity forward, to
  77. 3:46extend his kingdom, and bring solution
  78. 3:49to world problems. Let's turn with me to
  79. 3:52the book of Genesis chapter 11:1-9.
  80. 3:54The scripture says, "The whole earth was
  81. 3:56one language and of one speech. And it
  82. 3:59came to pass as they journeyed from the
  83. 4:01east that they found a plain in the land
  84. 4:03of Shinar. And they dwelt there. And
  85. 4:07they said one to another, 'Go to, let us
  86. 4:09make brick and burn them thoroughly. And
  87. 4:12they had brick for stone and slime they
  88. 4:14had for mortar. And they said, 'Go to,
  89. 4:17let us build us a city and a tower whose
  90. 4:20top may reach unto heaven. And let us
  91. 4:22make a name
  92. 4:24and lest we be scattered abroad upon the
  93. 4:27face of the earth.' And the Lord came
  94. 4:29down to see the city and the tower which
  95. 4:31the children of man builded. And the
  96. 4:33Lord said, 'Behold, the people is one
  97. 4:36and they have all one language and this
  98. 4:38they began to do. Now nothing will be
  99. 4:40restrained from them which they had
  100. 4:42imagined to do.' In other words, you
  101. 4:44know, their innovative ideas that they
  102. 4:47took serious was going to spark this
  103. 4:50entire movement of resourcefulness
  104. 4:52and innovation. So, there are many
  105. 4:55levels of revelation in this text.
  106. 4:57Number one, they came together and drew
  107. 4:59through unity, they found this plain in
  108. 5:02the land of Shinar.
  109. 5:04And this is um a zip code that they
  110. 5:08landed in and it was a plain. A plain is
  111. 5:11a level plot of land. And we are in a
  112. 5:15post-pandemic world. This is the world
  113. 5:19that had changed and we are now in a new
  114. 5:22normal. And I want to encourage you that
  115. 5:25this world in which we are living in,
  116. 5:28the playing field has been leveled. It's
  117. 5:30been leveled for every individual,
  118. 5:32leveled for every industry, every
  119. 5:34profession, every government, every
  120. 5:36nation. We are living on a level playing
  121. 5:41field. The rules are changing and you
  122. 5:43could be one of the ones that are
  123. 5:45dictating the rules as long as you
  124. 5:48understand that nothing is off-limit.
  125. 5:51Before, you had to be qualified with
  126. 5:53this and qualified for that. You had to
  127. 5:56be network part of um an existing
  128. 5:59organization. You had to be recognized
  129. 6:02by by um someone before you were able to
  130. 6:05climb the prophetic or the proverbial
  131. 6:08ladder of success. But now, I mean, we
  132. 6:11are literally on a level playing field.
  133. 6:16Anybody can win. Anybody can succeed.
  134. 6:20Anybody can prosper. And it's as simple
  135. 6:23as that. That's number one, that plain.
  136. 6:26They were on a level playing field.
  137. 6:27Number two, the
  138. 6:29they thought that an idea could be
  139. 6:32possible.
  140. 6:34And because they believed that that idea
  141. 6:36was possible, it sparked action.
  142. 6:40And intentionality is always the
  143. 6:43precursor to activity. And this is very
  144. 6:46important for us to understand it. They
  145. 6:48had this idea, it sparked their action,
  146. 6:51and then intentionality brought it to
  147. 6:54pass. The Bible said in this they began
  148. 6:57to do. Now nothing will be restrained
  149. 6:59from them which they have imagined to
  150. 7:02do. So, intentionality
  151. 7:04is the precursor to resourcefulness. I
  152. 7:06think that a lot of people are praying
  153. 7:08and praying and praying without the
  154. 7:10intention to seeing an act or something
  155. 7:14come to pass. A lot of people have a
  156. 7:16plan A or plan B. If this doesn't work,
  157. 7:19then I'm going to do that. If that
  158. 7:20doesn't work, then I'm going to do the
  159. 7:22other. But you don't see levels of
  160. 7:24commitment and I believe that people
  161. 7:26give up too soon. They give up too soon
  162. 7:28on their ideas, their dreams, their
  163. 7:30vision, their business. When something
  164. 7:33goes wrong, they have this plan B. But I
  165. 7:36believe that in this season, um there's
  166. 7:39going to be a new species that are going
  167. 7:40to rise and they're going to have these
  168. 7:42God ideas that are going to fill their
  169. 7:45mind. And because they have the
  170. 7:47intention of bringing that to pass,
  171. 7:50you're going to see new levels of
  172. 7:51resourcefulness.
  173. 7:53Number four, intentionality is the
  174. 7:55precursor to innovation. They said, um
  175. 7:58you know, "Go to, let us make brick."
  176. 8:01Well, there was no mention of brick in
  177. 8:02the Bible before they said, "Let's make
  178. 8:04brick." What's a brick? I don't know
  179. 8:05what's a brick. And they put their
  180. 8:07thoughts together, created a mastermind,
  181. 8:10and they decided that we're going to
  182. 8:11turn brick They they they they took the
  183. 8:13mortar, they took the slime, and then
  184. 8:16they they they were they invented an
  185. 8:19industry, basically, because there was
  186. 8:21no burning of mortar and slime before
  187. 8:24this. And the Bible said they had brick
  188. 8:26for stone and mortar had they
  189. 8:29they and slime had they for mortar. So,
  190. 8:32they invented this industry of creating
  191. 8:35bricks and they put their thoughts
  192. 8:38together
  193. 8:39and they had this breakthrough idea.
  194. 8:41Here's the the caveat that all the trade
  195. 8:44secrets that you see, all the
  196. 8:46innovations, all the original ideas, all
  197. 8:48the industry-specific breakthroughs
  198. 8:51um are sparks of
  199. 8:53inspiration that is received by the mind
  200. 8:56that someone takes serious.
  201. 8:59And they Bible said that they came
  202. 9:01together, they began to um
  203. 9:04build this city, and then in the middle
  204. 9:07of the city they had this tower. They
  205. 9:09wanted to make a name for themselves.
  206. 9:11This is the whole idea of branding. And
  207. 9:14branding is not a new concept, but they
  208. 9:18started to brand themselves. Let's make
  209. 9:19a name for ourselves. And this was not
  210. 9:23only so that they can influence
  211. 9:26uh their generation, but future
  212. 9:28generations would speak about them. In
  213. 9:30other words, time would not be permitted
  214. 9:33to erase their name out of history. And
  215. 9:37in this season, this is a season of
  216. 9:39innovation, a season of breakthrough
  217. 9:41that we are in. And this is not just for
  218. 9:45those that we know that have have
  219. 9:47businesses, those enduring brands that
  220. 9:50we know about,
  221. 9:51but I believe that God is raising up
  222. 9:53individuals that in this generation,
  223. 9:55they'll live as an individual and
  224. 9:56they're going to die as an institution.
  225. 9:59And your work is going to be observed by
  226. 10:02future generations, and time is going to
  227. 10:05be kind to you because it's going to
  228. 10:07write your name down in history. So,
  229. 10:09these group of individuals became
  230. 10:11history makers, and they shaped history.
  231. 10:14They didn't just prophesy history, they
  232. 10:17provoked it. They created it. They
  233. 10:20designed it. And a lot of times we are
  234. 10:23waiting for our destiny to come to us.
  235. 10:27When in fact, we are designing our
  236. 10:29destiny one thought at a time, one
  237. 10:32action at a time, one breath at a time,
  238. 10:35proverbially speaking. So, all trade
  239. 10:38secrets,
  240. 10:40all innovations, all original ideas and
  241. 10:42industries specific breakthroughs, they
  242. 10:45start as a spark of inspiration that's
  243. 10:49received by the mind, and someone pays
  244. 10:51attention to it. Have you ever thought
  245. 10:54about inventing something or writing
  246. 10:56something or creating something, and
  247. 10:58then you waited, and then before you
  248. 11:00know it, you see it advertised on TV.
  249. 11:03So, we know that ideas belong to to
  250. 11:06whoever is paying attention. And an idea
  251. 11:08is not off-limits to anybody. I know
  252. 11:11that two or three or five or even
  253. 11:13hundreds of people can have the same
  254. 11:15idea, but whoever manifests that idea as
  255. 11:19a good, a product, or a service, a book,
  256. 11:23um uh um uh a television show,
  257. 11:26a movie, um a company, a t-shirt,
  258. 11:30whoever pays attention to that idea and
  259. 11:34takes it seriously, and sees that it's
  260. 11:37possible, then that breakthrough, that
  261. 11:40product, that good, that service belongs
  262. 11:42to that individual. And it's the whole
  263. 11:45idea of intellectual property. I think
  264. 11:48the most expensive real estate in the
  265. 11:51world is the human mind. And a lot of us
  266. 11:55take that for granted. And like I said
  267. 11:58in the previous teaching, uh that the
  268. 12:00mind the mind is an incredible
  269. 12:03uh creating machine. And if you put the
  270. 12:06mind to work, the mind is able to create
  271. 12:09the most incredible things. But a lot of
  272. 12:12us do not put our minds to work. We do
  273. 12:16not engage our mind. We're the product
  274. 12:18of classical conditioning or um cultural
  275. 12:21conditioning. And uh and and not knowing
  276. 12:24that the moment you set your intentions,
  277. 12:27num- number one to pay attention to your
  278. 12:30thoughts and ideas, but also to capture
  279. 12:32them, and especially those that have
  280. 12:35been sparked by the Holy Spirit, um all
  281. 12:39you have to do is put action to it. And
  282. 12:42a lot of us, we sit on these great
  283. 12:44ideas, and then someone else um
  284. 12:47uh puts the energy in, and then creates
  285. 12:50a product or a good or a service out of
  286. 12:52there, and then they're generating
  287. 12:54hundreds of thousands of dollars,
  288. 12:55millions of dollars, and billions of
  289. 12:57dollars, if only we had acted. And we
  290. 13:01act when we have an intention to do
  291. 13:05something. Thoughts are things, and this
  292. 13:08is important that capture two realms. It
  293. 13:12captures the attention of heaven and the
  294. 13:16attention of earth. And I want to go
  295. 13:18back
  296. 13:19into a scripture in verse number three.
  297. 13:21It says, "Let us make brick
  298. 13:23and burn them thoroughly, and they had
  299. 13:26brick for stone, and slime they had for
  300. 13:27mortar." So, it captured the attention
  301. 13:30of earth. And they said, "Go to, let us
  302. 13:33build us a city, a tower whose top may
  303. 13:35reach the heaven, and let us make us a
  304. 13:37name, lest we be scattered abroad upon
  305. 13:40the face of the whole earth." Watch
  306. 13:42this. "And the Lord came down to see the
  307. 13:44city and the tower." So, intentionality
  308. 13:49and thoughts captures the attention of
  309. 13:52both heaven and earth. This is
  310. 13:54important. God is watching, but people
  311. 13:57are watching, too.
  312. 13:59And the Bible says that God makes this
  313. 14:01comment.
  314. 14:02And his comment goes something like
  315. 14:04this.
  316. 14:05"And this they began to do. Now, nothing
  317. 14:09will be restrained for them which they
  318. 14:11have imagined to do." Absolutely nothing
  319. 14:13is going to be restrained. Nothing is
  320. 14:15going to be held back. And this is
  321. 14:17important. Intentionality
  322. 14:21causes heaven and earth to conspire to
  323. 14:24bring you the resources necessary for
  324. 14:27you to bring an idea to pass, to bring
  325. 14:31it from conceptualization
  326. 14:32to actualization.
  327. 14:35Um a lot of times, going back to my
  328. 14:37example, people have plan A and a plan B
  329. 14:39and a plan C. And it's sending mixed
  330. 14:42signals out in the realm of the spirit.
  331. 14:45The Bible talks about us having faith,
  332. 14:47and faith allows you to think and act on
  333. 14:51a different kind of frequency. You're
  334. 14:54picking up the frequency of innovation.
  335. 14:57You're tapping you're able to tap into
  336. 14:58the mind of of God. And the Bible said,
  337. 15:02"Nothing is going to be restrained from
  338. 15:04them which they have begun to do." That
  339. 15:06word restrain. In other words, nothing
  340. 15:08is going to be held back or held up. And
  341. 15:12I'm decreeing and declaring that in this
  342. 15:13season, whatever God has called you to
  343. 15:16do, whatever he has commissioned you to
  344. 15:18do, whether it's writing or building or
  345. 15:21dancing or acting, whether it's serving,
  346. 15:24whether it is um bringing breakthrough
  347. 15:27industry-specific ideas to the table,
  348. 15:30whether it's going into politics,
  349. 15:33whether it is um
  350. 15:35uh uh preaching or singing, whatever God
  351. 15:38has commissioned you to do, whatever
  352. 15:40ideas that are divine that belong um to
  353. 15:44this generation, I'm decreeing and
  354. 15:46declaring every resource necessary for
  355. 15:49you to fulfill it, for you to bring it
  356. 15:51to pass, is going to be released, and
  357. 15:54you're going to be able to see it. Now,
  358. 15:56the resources that God wants to give you
  359. 15:59will be in the form of relationships
  360. 16:01that you need, information that you
  361. 16:03need,
  362. 16:04opportunity that you need, finances that
  363. 16:07you need. Whatever the resources are,
  364. 16:10nothing will be restrained from you.
  365. 16:12There's nothing that's going to be held
  366. 16:14back and held up. And I'm decreeing and
  367. 16:17declaring that you are taking your
  368. 16:19thoughts seriously. God is visiting you
  369. 16:21in dreams. You're sitting, you're
  370. 16:23daydreaming. You have a prompting. God
  371. 16:26has revealed it to you. He has given you
  372. 16:29a prophetic word. You've been thinking
  373. 16:31about it. You've been obsessing over it.
  374. 16:34It may be God trying to get your
  375. 16:36attention to tell you that there is
  376. 16:39nothing that's going to be restrained
  377. 16:41from you. And whatever he has placed in
  378. 16:44your spirit and your heart, whatever
  379. 16:46ideas that you have, no matter how lofty
  380. 16:50they may seem, no matter how improbable
  381. 16:52they may seem, with God improbable they
  382. 16:55may seem, with God all things are
  383. 16:57possible. The earth never had brick,
  384. 17:00never had mortar, never never built a
  385. 17:03monument up to the sky. These were
  386. 17:05skyscrapers
  387. 17:07before there were cranes, before there
  388. 17:09was modern technology, before there were
  389. 17:12bulldozers. And they they they said,
  390. 17:15"This is what we want to do. This is
  391. 17:17what we intend to do." And that's what
  392. 17:20they did. And the Bible said they used
  393. 17:22the faculty of their imagination. When
  394. 17:25there is an innovation, the faculty of
  395. 17:29of imagination has always been
  396. 17:33activated. And I'm decreeing and
  397. 17:35declaring you will no longer sit with
  398. 17:37your minds idle. I decree God is filling
  399. 17:40your mind with the most incredible
  400. 17:43breakthrough ideas. And those are the
  401. 17:46ideas that you are taking seriously.
  402. 17:48Intentions
  403. 17:50activate resourcefulness. So, you're
  404. 17:53going to be resourceful. You're going to
  405. 17:55find a way to make it happen. There are
  406. 17:57some people that say, "I can't do it
  407. 17:59because I don't have money. I can't do
  408. 18:01it because I don't have education. I
  409. 18:02can't do it because nobody would help
  410. 18:04me." Those are just excuses. When have
  411. 18:07you have the intention to do something,
  412. 18:10heaven obligates itself to provide the
  413. 18:14resources, providing those ideas and
  414. 18:17those thoughts come from God.
  415. 18:19Number eight. The futures
  416. 18:22that we dream of are not ahead of us,
  417. 18:25they are inside of us. The Bible says
  418. 18:28that we he he puts eternity in our
  419. 18:30heart. And the biggest question is,
  420. 18:33where does your future come from? It
  421. 18:35comes from inside of you. They come as a
  422. 18:37result of your thoughts. They come as a
  423. 18:39result of your intention. They come as a
  424. 18:42result of your habits. They come as a
  425. 18:45result of your beliefs. They come as a
  426. 18:47result of your thoughts. Your future
  427. 18:50comes to you one thought at a time, one
  428. 18:52habit at a time, one action at a time,
  429. 18:55one prompting at a time, one dream at a
  430. 18:57time. That's where your future comes
  431. 18:59from. And in this new normal, I am I I
  432. 19:03am I am encouraging you to continue to
  433. 19:07to continue to say that with God all
  434. 19:10things are possible. Whenever God has
  435. 19:14has begins to speak to you, and whatever
  436. 19:17God has placed in your mind and in your
  437. 19:20heart, you have to set your attention to
  438. 19:24doing it, to becoming it, simply because
  439. 19:28if it came from God, no matter how
  440. 19:31improbable, it is still possible. And
  441. 19:34I'm going to say it again. If your
  442. 19:36dreams, your vision, the things that you
  443. 19:38have in your heart, your desire, came
  444. 19:40from God, no matter how improbable it
  445. 19:44seems,
  446. 19:45it is still possible. Because with God
  447. 19:48all things are possible. And so, when
  448. 19:50you set your attention, intention
  449. 19:53is the secret sauce that levels the
  450. 19:56playing field of success. Success comes
  451. 20:00when you are consistently
  452. 20:02acting in accordance with a vision, a
  453. 20:04dream, or a goal, or a desire. You have
  454. 20:07something that you want and you act in
  455. 20:10accordance with it. It's like going on a
  456. 20:12diet and saying, "Oh,
  457. 20:14um I I want to lose weight." And you're
  458. 20:16size 14 and you want to be a size eight,
  459. 20:19but all of your activities, you are
  460. 20:21eating like you're a size 16 person.
  461. 20:25You're eating a size 16 calorie,
  462. 20:27although you're you're size 14 and you
  463. 20:30say that, "Oh, I want to be a size
  464. 20:32eight." But yet your actions, your
  465. 20:34eating, your caloric intake is at the
  466. 20:37level of a size 16. So, and no matter
  467. 20:40how much you convince yourself, "Oh, I'm
  468. 20:43going to be a size eight in 6 months." 6
  469. 20:45months from now, guess what size you
  470. 20:47will be. Not a 14, but but a 16. Why?
  471. 20:51Because your action is in accordance
  472. 20:54with
  473. 20:56an outcome
  474. 20:57that you do not want, but your actions
  475. 21:02are not directed towards or in
  476. 21:05accordance with what you want. And so a
  477. 21:08lot of us play games with our own selves
  478. 21:12and we excuse ourselves. And one of the
  479. 21:15things that I say to those that I
  480. 21:17mentor, when you set your intentions,
  481. 21:21you establish clear goals. And those
  482. 21:25goals um actually reveal whether you
  483. 21:29have personal integrity or not. So, if
  484. 21:31you say to yourself, "Oh, my goal is to
  485. 21:34save, I don't know, $100 a month." But
  486. 21:37yet you spend everything that you earn,
  487. 21:40it's an issue of personal integrity. And
  488. 21:44we can use all the excuses we want, but
  489. 21:47an excuse sabotages
  490. 21:50your destiny. It's like shooting your
  491. 21:53your destiny at point-blank range. So,
  492. 21:57if you want success, success comes with
  493. 22:00constantly acting in accordance with a
  494. 22:04vision, a desire, an aspiration, a
  495. 22:07dream, or a specific result or outcome.
  496. 22:11And you act in accordance with that. It
  497. 22:14is God that gives you the desire to
  498. 22:18desire. And then he gives you that
  499. 22:20desire. And so if you have these desires
  500. 22:22that God has placed in your heart, you
  501. 22:24never really consider whether you have
  502. 22:28the skill or the ability or the finances
  503. 22:31to do anything. If that came from God,
  504. 22:34leave the details to him. Just
  505. 22:37continuously act in accordance with your
  506. 22:40outcome.
  507. 22:42Intentions
  508. 22:44are like a catalyst. It's a catalyst
  509. 22:47that causes you to put the effort into
  510. 22:51making a move towards the attainment of
  511. 22:54something that you would aspire to do,
  512. 22:57to achieve, to own, to acquire, or to
  513. 23:02accomplish. So, that means that you
  514. 23:05engage in activities in a conscious
  515. 23:08level with the full engagement and with
  516. 23:11the full knowledge that it's going to
  517. 23:13take lit
  518. 23:14risk. And there you know, you're going
  519. 23:17to have to have in a lot of instances um
  520. 23:20you're going to have to take a leap of
  521. 23:22faith. And even though
  522. 23:25there may seem as if
  523. 23:28failure is going to be results,
  524. 23:32intentions
  525. 23:33takes failure on the cheek and say,
  526. 23:37"That's just a the price that I pay for
  527. 23:40all future success." It's like
  528. 23:42interviewing Thomas Edison. You've heard
  529. 23:45the story probably hundreds of times
  530. 23:47within your lifetime. They were
  531. 23:48interviewing him and they said to him,
  532. 23:51"You know, weren't weren't you
  533. 23:53disappointed
  534. 23:54when you failed so many times? You
  535. 23:57failed a thousand times and and in
  536. 24:00trying to create the lightbulb." He
  537. 24:02said, "No, it never I never felt, you
  538. 24:04know, discouraged because I discovered a
  539. 24:07thousand ways not to create a
  540. 24:10lightbulb." And so when you have
  541. 24:12intentionality, usually people who are
  542. 24:16intentional about what they do also have
  543. 24:20a positive mental attitude. They're
  544. 24:23positive about their lives and their
  545. 24:25their frequency, a mental frequency is
  546. 24:29set at the level of positivity.
  547. 24:33Intentions
  548. 24:34actually cause you to take specific
  549. 24:37cour- courses of action based on
  550. 24:41um
  551. 24:43what you want to see come come come to
  552. 24:46pass, no matter how unfeasible
  553. 24:49it may seem to be. And so a lot of
  554. 24:52people that fail again because they have
  555. 24:55a plan B and they never really set their
  556. 24:57intention, they never attend intended to
  557. 25:00accomplish something, they start out
  558. 25:03with, "What if? What if I fail? What if
  559. 25:06people don't like it?" But the people
  560. 25:08that do succeed says, "Well, what if I
  561. 25:11do succeed?" And they build into the
  562. 25:14equation of their action a celebration
  563. 25:17for the inevitable. And the inevitable
  564. 25:21and eventual and eventuality is going to
  565. 25:25be the outcome that they desired. That
  566. 25:27outcome may take many twists on a
  567. 25:31journey that has many twists and turns,
  568. 25:34but they ended up they they end up there
  569. 25:36anyway. It's like the dreams of Joseph.
  570. 25:40And he was able to say to his brother,
  571. 25:41"Look, I don't hold any anger towards
  572. 25:44you. You meant it for bad, God meant it
  573. 25:46for good." Because he set his face
  574. 25:50towards
  575. 25:51him being in a position of power. And
  576. 25:55although again he ended up in many
  577. 25:57circumstances that looked like his
  578. 26:00dream, his vision wouldn't come to pass,
  579. 26:03but yet it did come to pass because
  580. 26:05heaven got involved. And whatever you
  581. 26:08set your intention to do, heaven is
  582. 26:10going to get get involved. Heaven is
  583. 26:13going to make sure that your resources
  584. 26:16are made available to you. Whatever
  585. 26:18resources you need in order to bring
  586. 26:20that vision to pass. And it's
  587. 26:21interesting because sometimes we do need
  588. 26:24a crisis. That crisis sometimes we do
  589. 26:27need to be rejected. Sometimes we do
  590. 26:29need things to go south because it
  591. 26:32exposes
  592. 26:34hidden potential. It exposes the hidden
  593. 26:37seed of greatness. And that's what
  594. 26:39intentionality is all about.
  595. 26:41Intentionality never looks at obstacles
  596. 26:45and never looks at limitations, never
  597. 26:47looks at lack. It means that you are
  598. 26:50able to
  599. 26:52act in accordance with your dreams, your
  600. 26:54visions, your outcome,
  601. 26:56but you're also able to defy the odds.
  602. 27:00So, intentionality
  603. 27:01totally
  604. 27:03embraces the whole idea of risk. And
  605. 27:06either you're going to risk your past
  606. 27:09for your future or with risk your future
  607. 27:11for your past, either one or the other.
  608. 27:14Intentionality therefore makes your
  609. 27:17vision clear, crystal clear. You have
  610. 27:20you have clarity in your vision, clarity
  611. 27:23in your assignment, you have sharper,
  612. 27:25stronger ability to over to overlook
  613. 27:31obstacles, and it makes it easy when you
  614. 27:34set your mind to do something, then
  615. 27:37those things that seem as if they are
  616. 27:39insurmountable, whether it's a situation
  617. 27:42or circumstance where you whether you
  618. 27:44suffer hardship, then in- intentionality
  619. 27:48looks at these things and they declare,
  620. 27:51"Nothing is going to stop me."
  621. 27:53Intentionality makes you unstoppable.
  622. 27:57Int- Intentions
  623. 27:59takes you into what I call next-level
  624. 28:02thinking. One of the things that Albert
  625. 28:04Einstein said, he said, "You can never
  626. 28:07solve a problem on the level on which it
  627. 28:09was created." And I realized that when
  628. 28:13we look at our lives and we look at the
  629. 28:16different components in our lives, our
  630. 28:18finances, we look at our relationships,
  631. 28:21we look at our careers and and our
  632. 28:23businesses, we look at sometimes the
  633. 28:26mess that we've made because of poor
  634. 28:29decisions and because of a faulty life
  635. 28:31strategy, and then we get upset because
  636. 28:35we are in the middle of a problem or we
  637. 28:36messed something up. But again, Albert
  638. 28:38Einstein said, "You can never solve a
  639. 28:41problem on the level on which it was
  640. 28:42created." So, I always say, if you're
  641. 28:45going to solve the problem of your past,
  642. 28:48it's going to take next-level thinking
  643. 28:50to get you into your future. You can't
  644. 28:53you cannot think at the same level. That
  645. 28:55means your thoughts should be different
  646. 28:57from last year. Your thoughts should be
  647. 28:59different even from this month. And if
  648. 29:02you're thinking at the same level,
  649. 29:05you're going to be on repeat
  650. 29:08concerning your life. At the end of this
  651. 29:11year, you're going to have the same
  652. 29:12amount of money, the same struggles, the
  653. 29:13same problems. And then they at the end
  654. 29:16of the next year, same amount of money,
  655. 29:18the same problems. And it's never going
  656. 29:20to be based on, "Oh, I'm going to get
  657. 29:22another job or I'm going to get more
  658. 29:25friends." You're just going to repeat it
  659. 29:28because your future is coming to you one
  660. 29:30thought at a time. Your future comes
  661. 29:32from within you. And when you're able to
  662. 29:34harness the faculty of intention, I I
  663. 29:37tell you, intentions is a faculty of the
  664. 29:41mind. And a lot of us don't use that
  665. 29:46faculty. Turn with me to Mark chapter 2
  666. 29:48verses 1 to 12. The Bible said again he
  667. 29:50entered into Capernaum after some days
  668. 29:53and it was noised that he was in the
  669. 29:56house and straightway many were gathered
  670. 29:58together in so much that there was no
  671. 30:00room to receive them. No, not so much as
  672. 30:03about the door and he preached the word
  673. 30:06unto them and they came unto him
  674. 30:08bringing one sick of the palsy which had
  675. 30:11was born of four. So there he had four
  676. 30:13friends that were carrying him and he
  677. 30:15was number five. Five is the number of
  678. 30:17grace but I'm not talking about grace
  679. 30:18right now. But he had friends that were
  680. 30:21able to come into agreement with him
  681. 30:23that he was going to be healed. When
  682. 30:25they got there
  683. 30:27there was no room. There were people
  684. 30:29standing around the door. The Bible said
  685. 30:31in verse number four and when they could
  686. 30:32not come nigh unto him for the press
  687. 30:35they uncovered the roof where he was
  688. 30:37thinking. This is next level thinking.
  689. 30:40And when they had broken it up they let
  690. 30:42down the bed wherein the sick of the
  691. 30:44palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith he
  692. 30:47said unto the sick of palsy, "Son, thy
  693. 30:49sins be forgiven." But there were
  694. 30:51certain of the scribes sitting there and
  695. 30:54reasoning in their hearts, "Why does
  696. 30:55this man speak blaspheming? Who can
  697. 30:58forgive sins but God only?" And
  698. 31:00immediately when Jesus perceived in his
  699. 31:02spirit that they had so reasoned with
  700. 31:05them themselves. Remember we talked
  701. 31:07about how thoughts
  702. 31:09travel on a frequency and it thoughts
  703. 31:12have energy so Jesus is picking up their
  704. 31:14energy. Jesus is picking up their
  705. 31:16thoughts. He because he he's tracking
  706. 31:18them
  707. 31:19and you know in the spirit realm and and
  708. 31:22the Bible said they they were saying why
  709. 31:25Jesus said to them, "Why reason ye these
  710. 31:28things in your heart? Whether it's easy
  711. 31:30to say to the sick of the palsy, 'Thy
  712. 31:32sins be forgiven thee' or say 'Arise and
  713. 31:35take up thy thy bed and walk.' But that
  714. 31:37ye may know that the son of man hath
  715. 31:39power on earth to forgive sins. He saith
  716. 31:43to the sick of the palsy, 'I say unto
  717. 31:45rise, take up your your bed and go thy
  718. 31:47way into thy house.' And immediately he
  719. 31:50arose, took up his bed, went forth
  720. 31:52before them all. Now watch this. In so
  721. 31:55much that they were all amazed and
  722. 31:57glorified God saying, "We never saw it
  723. 32:00in this fashion before." And that is
  724. 32:02going to happen to you. People are going
  725. 32:04to look at your life and they're going
  726. 32:06to wonder, "How did you get those
  727. 32:08results?" And you know something? It
  728. 32:10takes a lot of risk. Write this down
  729. 32:13that intentionality
  730. 32:15moves you into the realm of risk.
  731. 32:18Intentional people are risk-takers and
  732. 32:22risk-takers
  733. 32:23are the ones who achieve greatness. And
  734. 32:26I'm decreeing and declaring that you are
  735. 32:29not going to play it safe. You're going
  736. 32:32to activate next level thinking. You're
  737. 32:35going to the Bible said if you then be
  738. 32:37risen with
  739. 32:38Christ
  740. 32:39seek those things which are above and
  741. 32:42not beneath. Go to the next level in
  742. 32:44your thinking. And in our text the roof
  743. 32:47represents limiting beliefs also known
  744. 32:50as self-imposed limitations and fear and
  745. 32:53they ripped the roof off. They removed
  746. 32:56their limitations and here is something
  747. 32:59that one of my favorite author said, Aug
  748. 33:01Mandino. He said, "Your your only
  749. 33:04limitations are those you set up in your
  750. 33:07mind or permit or permit others to set
  751. 33:09up for you." So if your only limitations
  752. 33:12are your thoughts the moment you change
  753. 33:14your thoughts you have no limitation.
  754. 33:17The scripture says that these people
  755. 33:19were all amazed. It literally blew their
  756. 33:22mind. And I'm decreeing and declaring
  757. 33:24that as you set your intentions to do
  758. 33:28what God has commissioned you to do, to
  759. 33:29start that business, to go back to
  760. 33:31school, to do whatever he has
  761. 33:34commissioned to do,
  762. 33:36that's when you are literally going to
  763. 33:38blow people's mind. People are going to
  764. 33:40stand back and they're not even going to
  765. 33:42believe that you did it in the midst of
  766. 33:44pandemic. You bought it in the midst of
  767. 33:46pandemic.
  768. 33:48You started it in the midst of the
  769. 33:50pandemic. You traveled in the midst of
  770. 33:52pandemic. When other people are buckling
  771. 33:55down you were going for it. And I'm
  772. 33:58decreeing and declaring that whatever
  773. 34:01vision or dream you have you will not
  774. 34:04just sit idly by waiting for something
  775. 34:07to happen. In this season you are going
  776. 34:10to make it happen and you're going to do
  777. 34:12it with intentionality. It's all about
  778. 34:15mind over matter. I remember reading the
  779. 34:17story of Sarah and it's recorded in
  780. 34:20Genesis chapter 18 verses 11 to 15 how
  781. 34:23she received a word and she laughed
  782. 34:25within herself and she said, "Look,
  783. 34:27Abraham is old. I'm old. You know,
  784. 34:30there's no way that that can happen."
  785. 34:32And then the response was, "It's Is
  786. 34:35there anything too hard for God?" You
  787. 34:38remember when you set your intention you
  788. 34:40get the attention of two realms, the
  789. 34:44attention of heaven and the attention of
  790. 34:47earth. And the Bible said in Hebrews 11
  791. 34:5011 to 12 it really gives us insight as
  792. 34:53to how Sarah got became pregnant even
  793. 34:56though she was past the bearing age. It
  794. 34:58says, "Through faith also Sarah herself
  795. 35:01received strength to conceive seed and
  796. 35:04was delivered of a child when she was
  797. 35:06past age because she judged him faithful
  798. 35:09who had promised. There's Therefore
  799. 35:11sprang there even of one and him as good
  800. 35:14as dead so many as the stars in the sky
  801. 35:18in multitude as the sand which is by the
  802. 35:20sea shore innumerable." And so you know
  803. 35:24the question that I that that I want to
  804. 35:26ask you.
  805. 35:27When it comes to Sarah why couldn't she
  806. 35:30have a child? And I think that she
  807. 35:33lacked the ability to conceive how God
  808. 35:37was going to do it. And here is where a
  809. 35:40lot of people make a mistake. They look
  810. 35:44at their
  811. 35:46their their lives. They look at their
  812. 35:48pocketbook. They look at their bank
  813. 35:49account and they disqualify themselves
  814. 35:53and they begin to speak negatively in
  815. 35:56their mind. This is not going to happen
  816. 35:58because nobody likes me. Nobody knows
  817. 36:01me. I don't have enough money. And these
  818. 36:03are limiting thoughts. And so the second
  819. 36:06question that I want to ask you, are
  820. 36:08your thoughts limiting your life? And
  821. 36:12and this is a big question because we we
  822. 36:15want to talk about the devil. We want to
  823. 36:17talk about our fathers, what they didn't
  824. 36:19do, what they
  825. 36:20should have done. We want to talk about
  826. 36:22our boss. We want to talk about this or
  827. 36:23that or the other but we never look at
  828. 36:26our lives. And it wasn't until Sarah was
  829. 36:30able to conceive in her mind that it is
  830. 36:33possible for her to be pregnant. It
  831. 36:37wasn't until that moment in time that
  832. 36:40she became pregnant. And so the
  833. 36:42barrenness of mind is barrenness of
  834. 36:45body. And I talk about it, mind over
  835. 36:48matter. And our mind is stronger than
  836. 36:52matter and a lot of people have
  837. 36:54non-productive thoughts so there's
  838. 36:56non-productivity in their lives. Their
  839. 36:59businesses not are not producing. Their
  840. 37:01relationships are not producing. They're
  841. 37:03not producing ideas. They're not doing
  842. 37:06the things that they have the potential
  843. 37:08to do because of their own mindset. And
  844. 37:11as long as as Sarah remained barren in
  845. 37:15her mind she remained barren in her
  846. 37:17body. But the moment she was able to
  847. 37:19conceive this as possible was when the
  848. 37:23spirit of barrenness was broken.
  849. 37:26Barrenness is akin to non-productivity
  850. 37:28and I'm going to decree and declare your
  851. 37:30days of non-productivity are over. Your
  852. 37:33days of working one whole year and not
  853. 37:36having anything to show for that year of
  854. 37:39work are over. I decree that at the end
  855. 37:42of this year you will double your
  856. 37:44income. I decree and declare you're
  857. 37:46going to have more friends than you know
  858. 37:48what to do with. You are going to have
  859. 37:50more opportunities than you know what to
  860. 37:52do with. You're going to be able to give
  861. 37:54away opportunities. I'm decreeing and
  862. 37:56declaring that the spirit of barren and
  863. 37:58is barrenness is broken off of your
  864. 38:01mind. You have an extraordinary mind.
  865. 38:04Where does your future come from? It
  866. 38:06doesn't come from without. It comes from
  867. 38:08within. As a man thinketh so is he.
  868. 38:11Change your thoughts, change your life.
  869. 38:13And I decree and declare that even in
  870. 38:16your business this is going to be the
  871. 38:17most productive year that you will ever
  872. 38:19have. I decree and declare you are
  873. 38:22doubling bottom line activities and
  874. 38:25every activity is
  875. 38:26activity is going to be positive it's
  876. 38:29going to have a positive effect on your
  877. 38:32business. When I think about you that
  878. 38:35are engaging in business and so many
  879. 38:36people are going into business. There
  880. 38:38are so many people that are
  881. 38:40entrepreneurs. And I'm thinking about
  882. 38:43specific company owners
  883. 38:45that took the courage to start their
  884. 38:49business. And
  885. 38:51it means that they took a risk. A lot of
  886. 38:53them took a risk. I was reading about
  887. 38:55SparkNotes. Everybody that's been to
  888. 38:57university and and college knows about
  889. 39:00SparkNotes. Spark SparkNotes. And this
  890. 39:05particular business was started by a man
  891. 39:07by the name of Sam Yagan. And in his
  892. 39:10words he said, "Starting my first
  893. 39:11company, SparkNotes, right out of
  894. 39:14college I didn't know what I was doing.
  895. 39:16Now all high school and college students
  896. 39:18love it but at the time it was a crazy
  897. 39:21idea to turn down a job to go start an
  898. 39:24internet company. And since then
  899. 39:27deciding to sell to sell a company we
  900. 39:30built OKCupid into being one of the best
  901. 39:33dating sites out there. When you're an
  902. 39:36entrepreneur and you sell your company
  903. 39:39that is a career decision. Becoming a
  904. 39:41part of match.com and a part of IAC was
  905. 39:45something that was a big move. In other
  906. 39:47words, he was simply saying, "Look, I
  907. 39:49intended to do it and I
  908. 39:52held my nose and jump." And sometimes
  909. 39:55you just got to hold your nose and jump.
  910. 39:57And I was reading about him. I was
  911. 39:59reading about Jimmy Kimmel being a talk
  912. 40:02show host. He said, "I I haven't really
  913. 40:04had to take any risk because I've been
  914. 40:07fired from each job. It is worked out,
  915. 40:11but there's no risk whatsoever." So, he
  916. 40:13said, "Every job I had, I was fired
  917. 40:15from." But look at Jimmy Kimmel now. You
  918. 40:18have
  919. 40:19he played in House of Cards episodes.
  920. 40:22There's Sara Blakely that founded Spanx.
  921. 40:25She took all of her savings
  922. 40:27from selling fax machines and she put it
  923. 40:30into business and she shot her rear hand
  924. 40:33and the rest is history. She literally
  925. 40:35put her butt on the line and she went
  926. 40:38out on a limb. Arianna Huffington, the
  927. 40:40editor of Huffington Post Media Group,
  928. 40:44when she started her business, she said,
  929. 40:46"I started my business post Huffington
  930. 40:49Post in my 50s and
  931. 40:52that's
  932. 40:53that's
  933. 40:55risk-taking if if I can ever say that."
  934. 40:58And there's Jack Dorsey. He's the
  935. 41:01co-founder of Twitter and Square. He
  936. 41:04said, "I didn't know if there is
  937. 41:06something that's the riskiest. I'm
  938. 41:09scared every single day and it's a good
  939. 41:12thing. You want to take big risk." So,
  940. 41:14when we talk about intentionality,
  941. 41:17usually it pushes you into the realm of
  942. 41:21risk. And this is why people end up not
  943. 41:26doing something because they're scared.
  944. 41:29But all of these people talk about how
  945. 41:31they took a risk. Jack Dorsey, the
  946. 41:33co-founder of Twitter. If we didn't have
  947. 41:35Twitter if if if he didn't take the
  948. 41:37risk, if he didn't feel the fear and do
  949. 41:40it anyway, we wouldn't have Twitter. And
  950. 41:42I can go on and on and give you examples
  951. 41:44of people who had ideas and they were
  952. 41:47crazy ideas. They were novel ideas. They
  953. 41:51were inventive ideas and they took the
  954. 41:55chance. They they they they they said,
  955. 41:58"I'm going out on a limb. I'm taking all
  956. 42:00my savings and this better work." And
  957. 42:03they made it work. When it comes to you,
  958. 42:06you've got to understand
  959. 42:08that in our text, we we we talked about
  960. 42:11these four and they had a they had a
  961. 42:14vision. The vision was that their friend
  962. 42:16was going to be healed, but they were
  963. 42:20restricted. There were prohib
  964. 42:22prohibitions at the door. They couldn't
  965. 42:25move past the door.
  966. 42:26But God gave them an idea. It was like a
  967. 42:29spark of genius. It's a spark of
  968. 42:31inspiration. If you can't go through the
  969. 42:34door,
  970. 42:35you need to practice next level
  971. 42:37thinking. Go to the roof.
  972. 42:40And a lot of us are so comfortable
  973. 42:43with things as usual.
  974. 42:46Even individuals that are working in
  975. 42:48companies and if you're working for a
  976. 42:50company and you you you understand that
  977. 42:53every company is pivoting and there's
  978. 42:55going to be nothing that is usual. It's
  979. 42:58called a new normal for a reason.
  980. 43:01You have to learn how to pivot. And for
  981. 43:04those of you that are called to great
  982. 43:06ministries and great businesses,
  983. 43:09um you you really need to check God and
  984. 43:11ask him, "God, do you want me to
  985. 43:14continue here or do you want me to start
  986. 43:16start my own business?" A lot of people
  987. 43:18start their business and then they go
  988. 43:20back to the marketplace because they
  989. 43:23didn't count on overhead. They didn't
  990. 43:26count on taxes. They didn't count count
  991. 43:29on unemployment and I can go on and on
  992. 43:32and on why people run back. You have to
  993. 43:34decide, "Okay, am I called to work in
  994. 43:38the business, to work on the business,
  995. 43:41or to work with the business, or to
  996. 43:44create my own business?" And I think
  997. 43:47that
  998. 43:48I I remember reading the story about a
  999. 43:50man by the name of Mr. Barnes. And he
  1000. 43:53said, "I'm going to work with Thomas
  1001. 43:57Edison."
  1002. 43:59And he wanted to work with not in the
  1003. 44:01business, but work with him and it took
  1004. 44:03him 5 years and after 5 years, he
  1005. 44:05finally gets a job to work with him.
  1006. 44:08And um he worked his way right up, but
  1007. 44:11it took him 5 years to get there and he
  1008. 44:14was faithful to the end. So, you know,
  1009. 44:18I think of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
  1010. 44:20Steve Jobs owned the business. Wozniak
  1011. 44:22was quite happy to be creating those
  1012. 44:25com- computers behind the scene. So, as
  1013. 44:28you begin to pray, if you're going to
  1014. 44:30start your business, then you have to
  1015. 44:33understand that there's risk, but
  1016. 44:35there's also responsibility and you have
  1017. 44:37to be able to pray pay the price.
  1018. 44:39Intentions take you to new performance
  1019. 44:43heights and it brings you incredible
  1020. 44:46results. Mark chapter 5 verse 25 to 35.
  1021. 44:50And the Bible said, "And a certain woman
  1022. 44:52which had an issue of blood 12 years and
  1023. 44:55had suffered many things of many
  1024. 44:57physicians and had spent all that she
  1025. 44:59had and was not the better, but grew
  1026. 45:02worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came
  1027. 45:04in the press and touched the hem of his
  1028. 45:07garment. For she said, "If I may touch
  1029. 45:10but his clothes, I shall be whole." This
  1030. 45:13is the whole idea of intentionality. She
  1031. 45:16had in her mind a picture.
  1032. 45:18And that picture said, "All I have to do
  1033. 45:20is touch." That means that she was con-
  1034. 45:23she was calling on her feet. She was she
  1035. 45:25was dodging the feet of others, dodging
  1036. 45:29being crushed at the foot of others,
  1037. 45:31being stepped on.
  1038. 45:33But she let absolutely nothing stop her.
  1039. 45:37Intentions, therefore, is a spiritual
  1040. 45:40technology of the mind that gives birth
  1041. 45:42not only to next level thinking,
  1042. 45:45but it magnetizes
  1043. 45:47your mind with intention and attracts to
  1044. 45:51itself the things, the opportunity, the
  1045. 45:53experiences, and the resources, as well
  1046. 45:56as the people that are that are in
  1047. 45:59harmony with their thoughts. So,
  1048. 46:01everybody is moving around, bumping
  1049. 46:03against Jesus, but this one woman on the
  1050. 46:06ground gets healed. Why? Because she set
  1051. 46:11her intention to be healed. Others could
  1052. 46:14have been healed, but it was this woman
  1053. 46:18and he said, "Who touched me? I felt I
  1054. 46:21literally felt
  1055. 46:23the virtue go out of me." And you
  1056. 46:25remember we talk and we talking about
  1057. 46:27frequencies. When you think at a certain
  1058. 46:30frequency, you attract the things and
  1059. 46:34people that are in accord with that
  1060. 46:39frequency. And so, she wanted to be
  1061. 46:42healed. We know that
  1062. 46:44sickness operates at a certain frequency
  1063. 46:48and it can be measured in megahertz. But
  1064. 46:51we also know healing can be measured in
  1065. 46:54megahertz as well. And so, when she
  1066. 46:57touched Jesus,
  1067. 46:59he felt energy
  1068. 47:01go out of him. Virtue. He felt the
  1069. 47:03energy being pulled out of him. And so,
  1070. 47:07you are either bringing things and
  1071. 47:09people to you by your thoughts or you're
  1072. 47:12repelling them. And this is why the
  1073. 47:14Bible says, you know, "Let this mind be
  1074. 47:16in you which was also in Christ Jesus.
  1075. 47:18Whatsoever things are true and honest
  1076. 47:20and judge and praiseworthy and lovely
  1077. 47:22and of good report, the think on those
  1078. 47:25things." Because you're setting yourself
  1079. 47:27up for future manifestation.
  1080. 47:30So, instead of you just sitting idly,
  1081. 47:35you need to be like those five friends,
  1082. 47:38four of them carrying their friend with
  1083. 47:39a deficit. You need to be like that
  1084. 47:42woman.
  1085. 47:43You are setting your attention to
  1086. 47:45accomplishing something and doing
  1087. 47:48something. And a lot of us allow our
  1088. 47:51emotions to get in the way. Emotions,
  1089. 47:53basically, are these biochemical
  1090. 47:55bioelectrical impulses of the brain and
  1091. 47:58your mind is more powerful than your
  1092. 48:01brain. So, let's not have a carnal mind.
  1093. 48:05The Bible said you either choose the
  1094. 48:07mind of the spirit or the mind of the
  1095. 48:09flesh but which is the carnal mind and
  1096. 48:12the carnal mind is just biochemical
  1097. 48:14bioelectrical impulses that interprets
  1098. 48:17experiences internally and externally
  1099. 48:19around you. Never allow your emotions to
  1100. 48:23control what you do. I always say, "Feel
  1101. 48:28the emotions, but don't let it feel
  1102. 48:31you." You you have to work past your
  1103. 48:33emotions. You cannot allow your emotions
  1104. 48:36to have control over your mind because
  1105. 48:39it would shoot success, prosperity, and
  1106. 48:41progress at point-blank range and it's
  1107. 48:44going to sabotage your brilliance and
  1108. 48:46your genius. It's going to undermine
  1109. 48:49your potential. It'll undermine your
  1110. 48:51wealth generating the wealth generating
  1111. 48:53power of your mind. I think that even
  1112. 48:56when it comes to poverty, poor people
  1113. 48:58don't need money.
  1114. 49:00Poor people need an idea.
  1115. 49:01And this is what happened to the um I
  1116. 49:05think it's in 2 Kings chapter 4. The
  1117. 49:08widower.
  1118. 49:09And she said, "You know, my husband's
  1119. 49:10dead. They're getting ready to the
  1120. 49:12creditors are coming to take my son."
  1121. 49:15And what the prophet didn't give her was
  1122. 49:18money. What the prophet gave her was the
  1123. 49:21ability to think for herself. Gave her
  1124. 49:23an idea. And she set her intentions to
  1125. 49:26bring that idea to idea to pass. And she
  1126. 49:29was able to come out of debt and she was
  1127. 49:32able to leave an inheritance for her
  1128. 49:34son. And this was a widow woman. And so
  1129. 49:37we need next level thinking. We need to
  1130. 49:40be able to take our life to the next
  1131. 49:42level.
  1132. 49:44We need to change our ideas about how we
  1133. 49:47see ourselves. You are not a victim of
  1134. 49:49circumstances. You are more than a
  1135. 49:51conqueror. Greater is he that is in you
  1136. 49:54than he that is in the world.
  1137. 49:57When you begin to understand how
  1138. 50:00powerful you are, you begin to
  1139. 50:02understand your point of power is not
  1140. 50:06you and you alone. It is God himself.
  1141. 50:09And you serve a God of possibilities.
  1142. 50:12And the Bible said, "If you have the
  1143. 50:15faith as a grain of mustard seed, you
  1144. 50:18are going to pitch at another realm and
  1145. 50:20in another level of frequency. You're
  1146. 50:23going to be able to say to mountains,
  1147. 50:25'Be thou hence removed and
  1148. 50:28go to a yonder place.' And the Bible
  1149. 50:30said, 'Nothing shall be impossible for
  1150. 50:33you because that mountain is going to
  1151. 50:36move.' A lot of us have faith in God,
  1152. 50:38but we don't have faith in who God has
  1153. 50:40made us to be. We are earthly
  1154. 50:42representatives. When God said, "Let
  1155. 50:44your light show so shine before men that
  1156. 50:46they may see your good works, glorify uh
  1157. 50:49your father which is in heaven." He's
  1158. 50:51talking about you being that light. You
  1159. 50:55with your genius. You with your
  1160. 50:58intelligence bringing that to the table
  1161. 51:00and making a difference in your family
  1162. 51:03and in the world around you. In the days
  1163. 51:06to come, you're going to see God raising
  1164. 51:09up these incredible thinkers and they're
  1165. 51:11going to be like Noah was in his day. In
  1166. 51:15Noah's day, he was a disrupter,
  1167. 51:18but he paid attention to what idea that
  1168. 51:20God gave him. And that idea was to build
  1169. 51:22a ark. It's like a ship. There was
  1170. 51:24nobody in his community that had had
  1171. 51:27ever built a ship. There was no industry
  1172. 51:30that was uh ship a ship building
  1173. 51:32industry. In fact, it had never rained.
  1174. 51:35And the Bible says, "As in the days of
  1175. 51:37Noah, so shall it be at the coming of
  1176. 51:39the Lord they are eating and drinking
  1177. 51:40and giving in marriage until the flood
  1178. 51:42came." And so these are the days that
  1179. 51:45God likened to the days of Noah. And
  1180. 51:48Noah's days were days of innovation. And
  1181. 51:51so too are our days. And when we think
  1182. 51:54about Noah as a disrupter, God gave him
  1183. 51:57an innovative idea that no one had ever
  1184. 52:00imagined, no one had ever dreamed of, no
  1185. 52:03one ever thought of. And that thought of
  1186. 52:05was impossible and they laughed at him.
  1187. 52:07But when the rain start coming, um the
  1188. 52:11joke was over. And the Bible indicated
  1189. 52:15that he was able to consult God. God
  1190. 52:18gave him heads up concerning uh trends
  1191. 52:21and mega trends and how the world was
  1192. 52:22going to change and how he was going to
  1193. 52:24ride the winds the the waves of change.
  1194. 52:27And I'm decreeing and declaring that you
  1195. 52:30are not going to be swept away by these
  1196. 52:32waves of change. You are going to be a
  1197. 52:34disrupter. You're going to have next
  1198. 52:37level thinking. You're going to bring
  1199. 52:39the creative force of your mind to bear
  1200. 52:42as God gives you sparks of inspiration
  1201. 52:45that you are going to take seriously.
  1202. 52:48And I'm activating the anointing of
  1203. 52:50innovation upon you. I decree and
  1204. 52:53declare the old way of thinking has come
  1205. 52:56to an end and God is going to give you
  1206. 52:58next level thinking. And it's going to
  1207. 53:00show up in your work. Those of you that
  1208. 53:02are
  1209. 53:03decision making in industry and other
  1210. 53:05businesses, I decree and declare you are
  1211. 53:08going to be not only innovators, but
  1212. 53:11you're going to be indispensable.
  1213. 53:13They will never be able to fire you
  1214. 53:15because you are going to bring so much
  1215. 53:16value to the table. As a disrupter, you
  1216. 53:20have to think differently. As a
  1217. 53:22disrupter, you have to have creative
  1218. 53:25thoughts, innovative thoughts,
  1219. 53:26breakthrough thoughts. And I decree and
  1220. 53:29declare that God right now through the
  1221. 53:31Holy Spirit is increasing your capacity
  1222. 53:34to think. And even as those five, they
  1223. 53:37ripped the roof off, I decree right now
  1224. 53:40the anointing is destroying limitations
  1225. 53:43and lids. I decree that the heavens are
  1226. 53:46open over you. Noah had to think
  1227. 53:49differently. He had to imagine. He had
  1228. 53:51to visualize. He had to conceptualize.
  1229. 53:54He had to organize. He had to procreate.
  1230. 53:58He had to originate. He had to
  1231. 54:00contemplate. He had to develop theories
  1232. 54:02and models and he had to meditate and
  1233. 54:05ponder. He had to come into realization.
  1234. 54:08He had to rationalize and design and
  1235. 54:11build. He had to create blueprints and
  1236. 54:13schematics. He had to construct. He had
  1237. 54:16to put his hands to the plow. He had to
  1238. 54:18form. He had to bring elements together.
  1239. 54:21He had to reason. He had to have
  1240. 54:22understanding and comprehension. He had
  1241. 54:25to manipulate and facilitate. He had to
  1242. 54:28cultivate his thoughts. He had to
  1243. 54:30arrange, organize. He had to amalgamate.
  1244. 54:34He had to orchestrate. He had to
  1245. 54:35harmonize. He had to blend. He had to
  1246. 54:37believe. He had to adapt. He had to
  1247. 54:40coordinate. He had to maneuver. He He
  1248. 54:43had to have the the advantage. He had to
  1249. 54:46think outside of the box. He had to
  1250. 54:48think counterculture.
  1251. 54:51And he did it all because he took his
  1252. 54:53thoughts seriously. And I decree and
  1253. 54:55declare that even today, you are going
  1254. 54:59to be moving into a new level of
  1255. 55:02innovation. I decree and declare that
  1256. 55:05God is activating critical thinking. I
  1257. 55:08decree that even now, you are going to
  1258. 55:11create an atmosphere for your thoughts
  1259. 55:13to begin to blossom. I decree and
  1260. 55:15declare wherever you show up, the
  1261. 55:17atmosphere and the environment is
  1262. 55:19shifting. I decree that God is going to
  1263. 55:22give you the ability to think outside of
  1264. 55:24the box. In fact, he's going to give you
  1265. 55:26the ability to create boxes that other
  1266. 55:29people think outside of. And you know
  1267. 55:32some something that I I I've come to
  1268. 55:35realize is that we really don't know who
  1269. 55:38we are. And I decree and declare that
  1270. 55:41even as Adam fell from a realm where he
  1271. 55:43was pitching at a very high level of
  1272. 55:46frequency of innovation that gave him
  1273. 55:49authority and dominion, I decree and
  1274. 55:51declare that same anointing is coming
  1275. 55:53upon you. What the first Adam lost, the
  1276. 55:57second Adam restored. I decree and
  1277. 55:59declare you have a new kingdom paradigm
  1278. 56:02that you're thinking differently. That
  1279. 56:05you're going to next level in your
  1280. 56:07thinking. You're elevating your
  1281. 56:09thoughts. I decree that in this season,
  1282. 56:11this is going to be the most innovative
  1283. 56:13you've ever been. I decree that God is
  1284. 56:15going to take you into new realms of
  1285. 56:17success and and new realms of
  1286. 56:19creativity. I decree that you lead
  1287. 56:22change. I decree that you will not only
  1288. 56:24prophesy change, you are going to be
  1289. 56:26provoking change because from today
  1290. 56:29onward, you are going to be an agent of
  1291. 56:31change. You are going to influence
  1292. 56:33change in your industry. People are
  1293. 56:36going to use you as their model. They're
  1294. 56:39going to be following your trends. I
  1295. 56:41decree just like Noah was a trendsetter
  1296. 56:43in his day, I decree you are going to be
  1297. 56:47a trendsetter in your day. Now, you
  1298. 56:50know, people begin to understand how
  1299. 56:53creative Steven Jobs wa- was. But I
  1300. 56:55decree that that level of creativity
  1301. 56:58what is not restricted only to Steven
  1302. 57:01Jobs. I decree a new level of genius is
  1303. 57:04coming upon you. And where you may lack
  1304. 57:07in experience, where you may lack in
  1305. 57:09ability, where you may lack in exposure,
  1306. 57:12I decree and declare the gifts of the
  1307. 57:14spirit are being made available to you
  1308. 57:17on demand. And as we begin to bring this
  1309. 57:20to a close, I decree that you have the
  1310. 57:23mind of Christ. Let this mind be in you
  1311. 57:26which is also in Christ Jesus. I decree
  1312. 57:30that this is going to be the most
  1313. 57:32intentional you will ever live. I decree
  1314. 57:35that you will begin to understand that
  1315. 57:37an intention is a bridge between who you
  1316. 57:39are and who you have the potential to
  1317. 57:42be. I decree that the next best version
  1318. 57:45of yourself is being um revealed. You
  1319. 57:49have not come into your greatest hour.
  1320. 57:51Your greatest hour is just ahead of you.
  1321. 57:54I decree you are not giving up on your
  1322. 57:56dreams. You are not throwing casting
  1323. 57:59your your your faith to the side and and
  1324. 58:03and throwing your inventions in a corner
  1325. 58:06where it gathers dust. I decree and
  1326. 58:08declare that that even as intention has
  1327. 58:12a byproduct, I decree and declare every
  1328. 58:15byproduct from your your your genius is
  1329. 58:19being built. Is being made. Is being
  1330. 58:22created. Today, you are going to get rid
  1331. 58:25of your self-doubt because it's going to
  1332. 58:27destroy your dreams. I decree and
  1333. 58:29declare that you will not suffer from
  1334. 58:32possibility blindness. I decree you're
  1335. 58:34having an eye-opening experience. You
  1336. 58:36are beginning to understand if it's
  1337. 58:38going to be, it's going to be up to you.
  1338. 58:41And I also believe that even as
  1339. 58:44intentions never ever
  1340. 58:47takes no for an answer, um I decree
  1341. 58:52that from today on for you, no is is not
  1342. 58:56a final and all things are going to be
  1343. 58:59possible. I decree that you are rising
  1344. 59:01up today and you are taking your place
  1345. 59:04amongst the great because you intend to
  1346. 59:08do it. Intention is the motivation
  1347. 59:11behind action. And where you see
  1348. 59:14inactivity, it is because people never
  1349. 59:18intended to do something. But that is
  1350. 59:20not you. As God gives you dreams, as God
  1351. 59:23gives you vision, as God gives you
  1352. 59:25insight, I believe you're going to sit
  1353. 59:27down. You're going to count the cost.
  1354. 59:29You're going to build your strategy.
  1355. 59:30You're going to establish your goals and
  1356. 59:33you're going to bring those ideas from
  1357. 59:36conceptualization
  1358. 59:37into the realm of
  1359. 59:39fruition in Jesus name. Amen. Let us
  1360. 59:43pray. Our Father in the God, we thank
  1361. 59:45you for the second installment for
  1362. 59:47intentions. Which of you intending to
  1363. 59:50build does not first sit down
  1364. 59:53and decide how much it will take to
  1365. 59:55finish. That you are able to count the
  1366. 59:57cost. And I decree and declare we are
  1367. 59:59counting the cost. We're going out on
  1368. 1:00:01the limb. We're making the sacrifice. We
  1369. 1:00:03are taking the risk. We're going to
  1370. 1:00:05start it. We're going to build it. We're
  1371. 1:00:07going to write it. We're going to own
  1372. 1:00:09it. We're going to move it. We're going
  1373. 1:00:10to dance it. We're going to sing it.
  1374. 1:00:13Whatever ideas you have placed in our
  1375. 1:00:15hearts, I decree that we intend to bring
  1376. 1:00:18it to pass in Jesus name. Amen. God
  1377. 1:00:22bless you.
  1378. 1:00:24I hope today's message really challenged
  1379. 1:00:26and provoked you to take your
  1380. 1:00:27intentionality to the next level. Once
  1381. 1:00:30you realize that intentionality causes
  1382. 1:00:32heaven and earth to conspire to bring
  1383. 1:00:35your vision to pass, you'll be that much
  1384. 1:00:37closer to manifestation of your dreams,
  1385. 1:00:39visions, and goals. To all of the
