but the prophetic calls you to see who He originally designed you to be and
before it's a gift where we say something to one another it's a way we
treat the world around us it's a way that it's the condition of our hearts to
look at people and call them into who they are just by our actions towards
them it could be as simple as the homeless person you walk by instead of
just ignoring him or walking by them you ask God is there anything you have for
them is there any way you want me to love them and he shows you something and
it may not be a word or a profound moment I love all my profound moments I
love all my my divine you know wow I can't believe that's so before and after
a moment for that person's life but for every one of those there's a hundred or
five hundred moments where I'm just loving on somebody or helping somebody
or encouraging somebody or applying the kingdom of God through action instead of
just words and the prophetic and hearing God's voice isn't about delivering
something on the earth verbally first it's about actually changing the systems
of how people operate first seeing people for who they are and calling it
forth in the way you treat them and I just think about you know we see that
sometimes with teachers or coaches we see it sometimes when people are
positioned into something that is a little bit too big for them and we're
like wow that's neat that they position that way you see it like in the football
draft right now there's several people I'm like I can't believe they're doing
what they're doing this is amazing this year the seasons pretty cool to watch
some of the people who've been promoted into there and drafted into positions
that they're not necessarily completely qualified for and we're gonna see if
they rise to the occasion now it's part of the divine tension that makes life
exciting but God Himself is calling you into all kinds of things that you can
never perform in your own strengths and when you see more of His kingdom you
start to see the Father's design the Father created you with the capacity for
Him that only in partnership with Him can you do what he's called you to do
and therefore when He starts to call you into who you truly are and He starts to
allow people to treat you that way it doesn't feel necessarily right it
doesn't feel appropriate because you're like I'm missing some skill sets if I
want to be if this is my end picture product God I'm kind of like
discombobulated right now I can't get there in the way I am now I can't
perform that in the way and I can't be that for you in the way I
am now and He's like I know isn't it great I made you that way on purpose so
only in knowing me can you become you oh and it's so frustrating because we
want like a clear-cut process we want a rules and regulation system we want to
ABCD we don't want to have to look at God and go what do I do here we want
someone to be able to tell us exactly how it goes so we can just make the
choices and go because we're about the production not about the process now I
just think about you know in the scripture and how God you I talked
earlier about being wired for connection in and I think about in the scriptures
and how we look at you know the first Corinthians 2 chapter I read and I read
in a passionate translation before but I want to read it and the NIV right now
just cuz I think it's an interesting contrast 1st Corinthians 2 these are the
things that God has revealed to us by a Spirit the Spirit searches all things
even the deep things of God for who knows a person's thoughts except their
own spirit within them in the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except
the Spirit of God what we have received is not to spirit of the world but the
Spirit is from God so we may understand what God has freely given us and then it
ends that chapter was saying you have been given the mind of Christ now we're
gonna go into why that's so profound and we're also gonna go into why that's the
prophetic para type prototype of what we're supposed to walk in right now let
me say this that the industry of success and understanding people's process in
our generation is a multi-billion dollar industry that's brand-new there's always
been traces of it in the past there was even some and 1500s in England and
different processes there was coaches or people were brought alongside Kings the
king makers would come in those kinds of things but in our generation people and
the self-help sections of bookstores are crowded I'm it just crowded with with
athletes you know Olympic athletes and with people who are billionaires and
with people who are you know successful pastors and all these people and I love
this I actually really like it because I love hearing about people's processes I
love to watch documentaries on how people became who they are it's one of
my favorite things to do is to find out the back story the
interview so to speak you know right now Yale put out a report a couple years ago
it said that the power of assimilation and education is now - through interview
and the average attention span of seven minutes of interview so that means that
people are learning more through the Today Show in seven minutes of a
they will and their entire week of everything else even students in college
they're learning more through seven minutes of interview than anything else
so interview is really powerful right now and what are we interviewing people
about breakthrough stories becoming stories being made stories you know
coming of age of companies stories all these things we're learning about
people's process and we're paying to learn about people's process now picture
this if one of the wealthiest people in the world if your business personality
of your business people if one of the wealthiest people in the world who
seemed to have a good head on their shoulder said I want to invest the next
year with you and spend once a week with you and I'm just gonna process my
internal life with you came to you and said that it doesn't matter if they were
Christian or not Christian you'd enjoy that process right that would be pretty
incredible what if it was if you're if you're a pastor how many of your pastors
here and Bill said I'm gonna come spend the next year once a week with you how
many of you would pay for that I'm his friend I would pay for that I would I
mean that's that's amazing of what if it was somebody who is there any
entertainers here or creative artisans here one of us the top person in your field
said I'm gonna spend time with you now see the reason why I'm saying this is
because there's just do this one before I say that how about a parental coach
somebody who's like the best parent and they know how to raise your kids and
they like know how to deal with anything from autism to just bad behavior to
excitement and celebration they know how many of you would pay for that one right
it's like I watch the nanny lady on wine you know like I watch you know or on
Netflix I mean I watch I'm like am i that bad I'm not that bad am i that bad
I'm bad I'm no I'm not that bad but we're crowdsourcing our information on
our process on how to get better and we're paying billions of dollars to find
out how other people are doing it because we respect the fact that they
have success their process and God intended this He
intended us to learn and crowdsource in a process but He also intended something
even greater which is where the whole prophetic thing comes from the first
place the most fascinated fascinating being and all the universe wants to
spend time with you all the time and He wants to let you in according to
1st Corinthians 2 on His inner spiritual process this is a figurative
poetic language or Paul saying and the depths of His soul love you it's not
like that Paul is saying the Holy Spirit's job is to search the most
innermost thoughts of the Father and related to you especially in regards to
you that's amazing like I I just think you can meditate on that for a while and
go I don't feel worthy of that why isn't that happening with me really or how do
I access that or how do how do i attain that because for me personally when I
started to read this and think about this I was like there's a huge gap
between my faith and this process but you could see it in Jesus Jesus was was
the example of this where He literally accessed the Father's deepest most
innermost thoughts all the time He would go into a city he'd know what he's gonna
do he walked with the Father and the Father
would tell Him heal everyone and in those cities he would heal everyone I
mean He's just He said I see I only do what I see the Father doing in heaven so
He had this process with the Father that was so connected that He He told the
disciples it's good that I go away so you have the Holy Spirit so you have the
same process I've had it was His most precious gift that he was giving to the
disciples to say not only am I gonna imbue you with power you're gonna build
My government we're gonna build the church together we're gonna build My
kingdom but I'm gonna give you the ability to
process the way I would as though I was here
