Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy New Year.
Amazing, think, cute, transformwomen.
I could not be more excitedthat you are listening to this
episode right now.
Can I just tell you that theyear is off to an amazing start.
Listen to this.
Whether it's working for you orworking on you, it is

(00:22):
magnificent.
There's something that I do knowabout the principle about
nothing coming back to you void.
In the kingdom of God, there isnothing that is wasted.
Let me tell you why Because ifit's not working for you,
whatever that is maybe a systemthat you are trying to create,
or the business that you'retrying to start, or the

(00:44):
relationship or whatever it isin work, out of work in ministry
, out of ministry in life, allover life, literally if it's not
working for you, you canunderstand and know that it's
working on you.
And so when it works on youlong enough and you allow it to
work on you long enough, then itwill begin to start working for

(01:07):
you.
I wanted to just drop thisreally quick love note to you
and say, girlfriend, this canactually be the most amazing
year of your life if you allowit and if you have the right
mindset, because I believe thatwhat you think about, you bring
about and your attitudedetermines your altitude.

(01:29):
How cheesy are all of theseone-liners?
But they are so real If youlook and study in the word of
God.
They're all supported byscripture.
And something that I have beenreally looking into is Ephesians
3.20.
I have been stuck on Ephesians3.20 for the past, I want to say

(01:49):
eight months.
You know, every month I have myThink Cute Mindset Renewal
Journal.
It's a 30-day journal where Iget super intentional and let me
tell you I'm not perfect at it.
I don't do it every day.
However, I am in my journal andI have been stuck on Ephesians
3.20 because every month you getto choose a scripture in this

(02:10):
journal and you get to meditateon it and you really get to
understand it, implement it andlike just let it be woven into
the fibers of your being andyour spirit and let it just
exude who you be like.
And so Ephesians three 20 hasbeen so powerful, and let me

(02:32):
tell you why.
The scripture is this now, allglory to God, who is able,
through the mighty work withinme, to accomplish infinitely
more than I've, than I can ask,think or imagine.
Ephesians 3.20.
And so there's so many of usand I may have said this before
and I may be a broken record,but there's so many of us that

(02:54):
have skipped over the mostimportant part of the scripture.
Can you recognize what the mostimportant part of the scripture
is?
Before I tell you, I want totell you what people actually
focus on, and it's theinfinitely more above than they
can think, ask or imagine.
They focus on that and they'relike oh yes, god is going to
come through Ephesians 3.20.

(03:14):
He's going to give me more thanI ask for, whatever I think or
imagine.
However, that's not the case.
Or imagine, however, that's notthe case.
What is true about Ephesians3.20 is that if you allow God to
work his magnificent glorywithin you, that means that you

(03:37):
allow God to prune you,discipline, you bring you to a
place of humility.
I'm telling you this scriptureis so powerful if you really
really dig into it.
But I'm telling you it's in themighty work that God does
within us that we can experiencehis magnificent glory that

(04:01):
exceeds our expectations.
And so I wanted to leave youwith all of this and just think
about it.
If it's not working for you,it's working on you, and so if
you allow it to work on you,like Ephesians 3.20 says, right
in the middle of that scripturehis mighty work within you, then
how much is he going to causeyou to rise?

(04:23):
You know, there's somethingthat I read in the Bible a long
time ago and it says somethingalong the lines of the hands of
the diligent will be set beforekings.
And it's so amazing how I sithere and I talk to you and it's
like all of the scriptures arelike ultimately weave together.

(04:44):
It's because, okay, so if I'mdiligent with my hands, allowing
God to do the work within me asI do the work on the outside,
and go into action, implementingall these things that God is
showing me, which is wisdom,receiving the wisdom that I gain
from my experiences, or if Iallow mentors to mentor me and

(05:06):
they give me their experienceand their wisdom and they equip
me, which, let me tell you,wisdom?
Actually, if you define it, it'sskills.
Wisdom equals skills, and soare we building the skills that
we need to implement the thingthat we are learning to do, to
then master that thing?

(05:27):
And have we done it enough?
Have we gotten enough reps inon that thing to let the work be
done on us that we do not haveto question that we know what
we're doing or what we arecalled to do, all the things.
So I hope that makes sense.
But I get so excited becausefor the past I want to say 12

(05:48):
years I have waited to be at thepoint that I am.
I'm telling you, if you'reexperiencing struggle,
self-doubt, insecurities, lowconfidence, and you're just
showing up every day, knowingthat you're walking into rooms,
people pleasing and like justyou know, appeasing people with

(06:09):
how you think they want you toshow up and what you think they
want to hear, and you're doingall the things and you're saying
all the right things quoteunquote but you are left empty
at the end of the day, going tobed and going.
What was that all about?
Like, why did I even go there?
Like, what in the world am Idoing?
God, help me, if that's yourprayer.

(06:31):
God help me to get, haveclarity.
God help me to know my purpose.
God help me to see what you seefor me and see myself as you
see me.
Like I'm telling you, girl, letthe word just marinate on your
spirit, I'm not kidding you thepower of Ephesians 3.20.

(06:53):
Now, all glory to God who isable, through the work, his
mighty work within me toaccomplish infinitely more than
I can ask, think or imagine.
Like if it's not working foryou, it's working on you.
So what are you going throughright now?
I want to know, what are youexperiencing right now?
Maybe you're winning in an areaand you're like I'm stoked, but

(07:16):
maybe another area is like Idon't feel so a hundred percent.
In that area, I don't feel soconfident.
My esteem is really really low.
I want you to take inventoryand I want to invite you to
write it down and talk to theLord about what he is working
within you.
What is he working on that'sgoing to, if you allow it and

(07:38):
become aware, I would say thisawareness is your absolute
superpower.
So what is he doing in youright now that is bringing you
to that infinitely more than youcan ask or seek or imagine Like
let's talk about that.
So I want to leave you withthat Happy New Year.
I'm so excited for you and PS.

(08:00):
If my voice is a littledifferent, I just got over that
thing that's going around and Ilost my voice for like close to
a week.
It was pretty intense and I'vebeen wanting to get an episode
out to you sooner, but pleaseforgive me.
That thing clobbered me.
So I hope you are healthy andwhole as you listen to this.
Um, but, yes, happy new year.

(08:22):
I will see you in the nextepisode.
But, girl, it is your time tohave the best year of your life.
Make a decision, go to work anddo not.
Do not second guess thesignificance and the beauty and
the just uniqueness of who youare.

(08:44):
Be looked over.
Don't let anybody tell you thatyou are not worthy of God's
love, because I'll tell you what.
Get so excited.
If you can receive the love ofGod, it is your unlock and
shortcut to freedom.
Yes, yes, it is All right, girl, I'll see you in the next one.
I love you.

(09:04):
