Spiritual warfare isn't just a concept—it's a daily reality affecting your thoughts, dreams, and identity. In this powerful episode, we dive deep into understanding the battleground of your mind and how the enemy creates strongholds that prevent intimate connection with God.
Ever had dreams that left you feeling unsettled or imprisoned? These might be more significant than you realize. I share my recent experience with troubling dreams and the profound revelation God provided through Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. He knows those who take refuge in him." This scripture illuminates our critical choice—will we fortify the enemy's lies or trust in God's protection?
We explore the barriers that block sonship with our Heavenly Father: unbelief, shame, rejection, wrong identity, father wounds, and pride. These obstacles manifest as sins of commission (what we do), sins of omission (what we don't do), sins of the heart, and even identity-based sins like rejecting who God says we are. The good news? You have the power to overcome everything trying to knock you off course.
The transformation journey requires understanding how God's kingdom operates. When we know our King and His ways, we can navigate life from a position of authority rather than victimhood. Romans 12:2 becomes our battle cry: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Think Cute Podcast, where thinking
cute is a lifestyle not beingconformed to the world, but
being transformed by therenewing of your mind.
Join me as I lead you in thedisrupting of toxic patterns.
We are pushing back the gatesof hell and we are taking
(00:22):
authority over our minds and weare changing our lives.
So, in Jesus name, amen, amen.
Well, welcome back.
We have been havingconversations around sonship and
you know, from finding outwhere you are in your heart,
posture what you're believing totaking new territory, and I
(00:46):
just found an unpublishedepisode that I just published
about transforming adversity andembracing faith and mindset for
personal growth and fulfillment.
So enjoy that bonus episodethat is in the middle of the
series.
However, I'm excited to talk toyou today because God is on the
(01:07):
move and he wants you to knowsome things.
And who knows that?
The Bible says that my peopleperish.
God says my people perish forlack of knowledge, and so those
who get knowledge and know thetruth will be set free, and who
the sun sets free, come on.
Somebody is free indeed, and sotoday I'm going to bring you
(01:30):
some, some truth.
I'm going to bring you somerevelation that I have received
in the last 24 hours, which isvery exciting because, who knows
, come on, girlfriend, I'mtalking to it's just me and you
right here but do you know thatthere is an enemy that is out to
steal, kill and destroy you andyour life and everything
(01:53):
attached to your destiny, yourfamily?
He wants to divide, he wants tomake you offended, he wants to
destroy you, and it's everysecond of the day that you have
the opportunity to be offendedor you have the opportunity to
think a negative thought thatmakes you feel a negative
emotion, that makes you do anegative thing.
(02:17):
And so if we know, if we knowthis, if we have knowledge of
this, then we can be more awareand more equipped to dominate in
the game of good and evil.
Yes, there's two kingdoms atwar right now, and so it's up to
(02:42):
us to be educated, beindoctrinated with the truth,
okay, and so the society,mechanism, hypnotic system of
the world is going to try toshow you things that manipulate
the word of God and show youthings that are like that
(03:05):
manipulate the word of God andshow you things that are like,
oh, this is good, when actuallyit's bad.
It happened in the Garden ofEden, where Satan manipulated
and said hey, did God really saythat you couldn't eat of this?
You know of?
You know all the trees?
He focused on lack.
He focused on the one thingthat they couldn't have when
(03:26):
they were surrounded byabundance.
And so you know what today isbeing manipulated in your life
for you to focus on the lackversus the abundance that you
actually have in Christ Jesus.
Come on, like we have to becomeso abundantly aware.
So let me tell you where I'mcoming from today and again
(03:49):
we're in this series.
I want to.
I really am being ledpersonally and you know, with
you, into sonship, identity,being a daughter of the Most
High King.
What does it look like?
And the Bible says seek firstthe kingdom and all these things
will be added.
And this I've talked about itbefore and this is just.
(04:14):
We got to go back to it becauseit's the foundation.
It's like if we don't know whothe king is, if we don't know
what kingdom we are in to seek,how are we going to seek the
kingdom if we don't even knowwhat the kingdom is and what
that looks like?
There's a king that has adominion.
It's the dominion of the king,christ Jesus, god, our Father.
(04:37):
His dominion is his kingdom.
And so if we actually know howthis kingdom operates, what's
the ecosystem of the kingdom,what are the rules of the
kingdom, how do I, as a daughterin this kingdom, as a princess,
as a queen in the kingdom, howdo I operate?
(04:59):
If we don't know how theoperating system of this kingdom
is going about, then we can'tseek first the kingdom.
And so that's why it's soimportant to get in the word, to
know your identity in Christ,know what God says about you and
his kingdom that we may operateproperly.
And so, in sonship, in knowingthat you're a daughter of the
(05:23):
most high king, so in sonship,in knowing that you're a
daughter of the Most High King,we first have to know that there
is a king.
God is the king of the kingdom.
And if we seek him and it saysif I abide in you, lord God, you
abide in me, am I seeking you,am I abiding in you and you
(05:44):
abiding in me?
And so, and it also says, ifyou live by the flesh, you die
by the flesh.
If you live by the spirit, you,you, you'll live by the spirit.
You know what I'm saying.
Like I probably misquoted thatscripture, but in in essence it
is if I live by my fleshlydesires, I'm going to get my
(06:06):
like.
I'm hungry, I want to be lazy,I want to be comfortable, I
don't want to be uncomfortableAll of these things versus if I
live by the spirit.
The spirit is continuouslywanting us to get better and if
I live by the spirit, he wantsme to do the good thing.
He wants me to do the goodthing.
He wants me to do the hardthing that makes me good.
(06:27):
He wants me to do the rightthing.
That's hard.
When my flesh wants to do theeasy thing, that is equally hard
, but a different hard right.
We have to choose the hard thatwe like.
It's hard to be broke and it'shard to be rich.
It's hard to be fat and it'shard to be skinny, like or fit
(06:47):
or thin or healthy.
It's hard Like.
We have to choose our heart.
So you either pay for it on thefront end or you pay for it on
the back end.
All that being said is where areyou?
Goes back to that.
Where are you and whatterritory are you taking
currently as a son or daughterin the kingdom?
Are you seeking first thekingdom?
Because when we seek first thekingdom.
(07:09):
All of these things will beadded.
What things will be added?
Good things.
Jeremiah 29, 11 declares thatthe Lord says for I know the
plans that I have for you, saysthe Lord, they are plans for
good and not disaster or evil,plans to give you a future and a
hope.
(07:29):
So these are the things that wereceive when we seek first the
kingdom of heaven.
But what I want to bring to youtoday, in understanding what is
trying to knock you off of yourpath to goodness, knock you off
(07:49):
of your path to righteousnessand receiving all that God has
for you, is what is keeping youfrom sonship with the Father,
you from sonship with the Father.
And in our Transformationdevotional this week it was
(08:28):
brought up what the Bible saysabout sin.
Now we are humans.
You and I, girlfriend, havethis thing called sin nature.
It's sin nature that keeps usdisconnected from the Father.
It keeps us from intimacy withGod.
It keeps us from believing thatwe're a daughter of the Most
High King set in heavenly places, a lamp upon a hill, a lamp
that shines brightly with theglory of the father.
(08:48):
But when we are operating insin nature, unknowingly and or
knowingly, we are severing thatintimate connection with our
Father and we, if we areoperating in sin nature, we
(09:10):
cannot believe, because there'sthis underlining shame, this
underlining condemnation spiritthat says you're not good enough
, you're doing this, you'redoing that and you could just be
operating automatically, likeI've talked about.
It's a subconscious belief thathas not yet come to the
(09:32):
conscious mind of your being,which you can.
Then, if you become aware ofthis thing, you can then take
authority over it and replace itand renew your mind.
Romans 12.
2,.
Don't be conformed, but betransformed by renewing your
mind in the truth of God, thatthen you could have the life
(09:56):
that God has for you, where itsays exceedingly, abundantly,
more and beyond your wildestdreams or imaginations that you
would have.
But we have to do the work, wehave to replace and transform,
we have to allow God to work onus that we then may step into
all of these things that hepromises us.
(10:17):
But it's a process sometimesand we have to recognize that,
and you are not called to do italone.
You have the Holy Spirit andyou have God.
And then you have people likeme that have done a thing or two
in this area and are completely, radically obsessed with
knowing how to help you do thisthing, and so you could partner
(10:40):
with somebody like me in goingfurther, faster.
You know what I'm saying and sothat's what I've done.
Personally, I have partneredwith coaches and mentors to help
me go further, faster.
And, yeah, so don't do it alone.
Just know that you don't haveto do it alone.
Um, but can we talk reallyquick?
(11:00):
I'm going to open up this canof worms and I'm I'm really not.
This is going to be a series, soplease, please, please, come
back If you, if this isintriguing to you, if you want
to know what the sins are.
There's a list of them.
My girl, like there is a listand it's like some of the things
are like oh yeah, no big deal.
(11:22):
That's like no big deal, that'slike not a thing, but actually
it is a thing and it's causingyou.
It's causing you incongruencywith intimacy with God.
It's causing you to beincongruent with what you
actually believe or want tobelieve.
You might think a thing but notbelieve a thing, and so you're
(11:43):
not operating out of that thing.
You know what I'm saying.
So what are the barriers tosonship?
Now there's a list.
I'm going to quickly go throughthis list and then I'm going to
let you know that we're goingto deep dive in them in further
(12:03):
episodes and future episodes.
But here's number one unbeliefand not receiving God's love.
Number two bondage and sin andshame.
Number three orphan mentality,the spirit of rejection.
Number four wrong identity.
Number four wrong identity,lack of mind renewal.
(12:25):
I'm telling you this is mygreatest passion to see you set
free in your identity.
And if you are ready and wantfreedom and want to step into
who you truly are, you know youhave that, you have that vision.
I want to invite you to the BUtimes two challenge, where we
(12:47):
are going deep, breakingstrongholds, just like
disrupting all those toxicpatterns and limiting beliefs
that you've been believing, thatare keeping you from your true
identity.
By the end of that challenge,you're going to have a blueprint
challenge.
(13:09):
You're going to have ablueprint.
You are going to have ablueprint that gives you your
purpose, it gives you what youare here to do and why, and
you're going to have clarity andwith that blueprint you'll
never guess again of what you'redoing.
It may evolve, because we'realways evolving, we're always
growing and God is taking usglory to glory to glory.
But I'm telling you, girl, Iwant to invite you to get your
(13:31):
VIP ticket because that's whereyou can get coached, one-on-one,
in group setting.
You can ask a question, I'llanswer it one-on-one, but other
women will also be in thereasking questions and I'm telling
you it is the most fruitful,abundant space you could put
yourself into with other womenthat are going after true
identity and breakthrough onanother level.
(13:52):
And so, again, that's just.
I want to invite you to getyour VIP ticket.
A link is in the show notes,but here we go.
Number five father wounds,earthly trauma.
Number five father wounds,earthly trauma.
(14:16):
Number six pride andself-reliance.
Are you relying on yourself?
Seven lack of the Holy Spiritrelationship.
So listen to this.
It gets better.
There's more.
There's sins of commission,what you do.
There's sins of omission, whatyou don't do.
There's sins of the heart, theinward sins.
There's social and relationalsins and there's sins of the
(14:38):
eyes and flesh.
There's sins of mental andemotional sins.
Mental and emotional sins,religious sins, false
spirituality.
And there's identity-based sins, rejecting who God says you are
.
Have you ever said you're notgood enough?
That's a rejecting of who Godsays you actually are.
And so here's the deal.
(14:58):
I don't have time to go throughall of these today, but I want
you to know that this is wherewe're headed and this is where
we're going.
We're going to go deep intothis and if you really want to
go deeper, join.
Join the identity, um, the BUtimes two challenge, and or my
90 day transformation program,where I take you through all of
(15:22):
this stuff and Holy Spirit leadsus, um, but you can DM me or
email me for information aboutthat.
But let me tell you why I'm soexcited to talk to you today
about this.
I had a couple of dreams in thelast week and I've been in this
(15:42):
season.
I'm launching my business.
I'm launching, I'm steppinginto my destiny, I have made my
blueprint and I am walking itout.
Currently, can I tell you thatit is not easy and the
resistance that I amexperiencing internally is heavy
(16:05):
and it's hard.
But who knows?
I say this all the time Do notbe conformed to the world, which
will tell you this is too hard,it's okay, just take the easy
road.
You don't have to do this, oryou can choose to be transformed
by the renewing of your mind,and so I'm being transformed in
(16:27):
real time.
We're always being transformedif we choose.
And so I'm walking out mycalling, I'm walking out my
destiny and I'm believing Godfor massive impact.
Completely, when you make anintention, disruption always
comes.
Something's going to try tothrow you off, and so maybe
you've heard me say it beforebut with intention, disruption
(16:52):
comes.
So, anyways, but we have achoice.
And why do I share all of thissin, the sin, nature that we
have, the sonship, theincongruency, all of these
things?
There's so many layers to this,but the main thing that I want
to get to you today is that you,my girl, my girlfriend, you
(17:14):
have the power to overcomeeverything that's trying to
knock you off of your path.
You have the power.
It's your choice that if you'regoing to do the hard thing to
push through the resistance,imagine you're a caterpillar
turning into a butterfly.
If you help the caterpillar outof its cocoon, you disable it.
(17:39):
It will not have the strengthto fly if you help it out.
And so I've heard it said by MelRobbins no one's coming to help
you.
Nobody's coming to pick you upout of bed, no one's coming to
make your bed, no one's comingto do your hair, no one's coming
to save you, not like even Godwaits for you.
(18:01):
He gives you the keys to thekingdom, but you have to pick
them up and walk, pick up yourmat and walk.
So the premise of everythingthat I do and everything that I
have a passion for is to tellyou that, girlfriend, you are
(18:23):
powerful, but there is an enemythat wants to make you believe
that you are not and thateverything that has happened to
you it was your fault and it'sbecause that you were this and
you were that, and blah, blah,blah.
No, break agreement with thatlie and step into your true
(18:44):
identity as a son and a daughter.
Repent, repent, repent, repent.
We have to repent of our sins,little or big, we have to repent
.
If you live in a lifestyle anda hard posture of repentance,
you will find so much freedom,so so, so, so much freedom I am.
(19:09):
So now, quick to repent.
It is not above you to bringall of this to the Lord and say,
lord, I am, I repent, and say,lord, I repent, I turn from my
evil ways.
Whether you think it's evil ornot, we're going to get into
(19:38):
that.
I'm going to give you a listGod, I turn and I break
agreement with this thing.
Everything I tell you is becauseof that I want you to know that
you have the power to step inand so, where the enemy tries to
get you and or yourself, thatyou tell yourself these lies and
or he whispers, and then youlatch on and you build this
(20:00):
whole story around this lie andyou believe it, and then you
walk out your life believingthis lie.
And that's what your operatingsystem is.
It's your choice.
At the end of the day, I havethe same choice as you.
So the good news is is that,yes, if we learn what sin is, we
(20:26):
can do everything in ouranointing and partnership with
God to resist the devil so heflees.
It's not in our willpower.
We partner with heaven forstrength and courage.
You cannot do it on your own.
Trust me, it was like a decade.
(20:46):
I tried to do it on my own fora long time.
Okay, I found it veryexhausting.
It's exhausting.
You will burn out.
If you're in the middle ofburnout, it's because you are
doing it on your own power andyou're not trusting and
releasing to God and trustinghim to bring all the things that
(21:07):
you desire.
Seek first the kingdom of Godand all these things will be
added.
Let's learn who the king is sowe can be in the kingdom and be
the queen of what our destinyreally really is.
Okay, so, with that being said,let me get to my point.
That was my introduction.
(21:28):
I'm I like had this revelationthis morning.
I had another dream last night.
I had two dreams this week andthey were dreams of imprisonment
, of, like I was cleaning dirtyhouses, like a house, and I was
stuck.
And then I was kidnapped andI'm like what is going on?
(21:49):
And in my second dream, theywere trying to distract me to
make it comfortable that I wasactually being kidnapped.
And I'm like, what is going on?
Like I am on alert.
I got your number.
You are trying to take mesomewhere.
I do not want to go.
Nothing that you give me to tryto distract me with all of
these good things that seem likethey're good to make me relax
(22:13):
is going to get me to come intoagreement with you taking me
captive.
Okay, so these are dreams.
And now I wake up and I'm likedang, these are two dreams in
one week.
This is very interesting.
I haven't had a dream in a longtime and the last dream I had
that I can actually remember.
I was like rebuking something inthe name of Jesus in my dream
(22:35):
and I'm like, oh, that's alwaysa good dream when you bring
Jesus and you got your authorityin your dream.
You know so.
But I'm like ding.
So I wake up and I'm curious,and so here's what we do.
Something happens, we have adream or whatever, and then we
go to a person.
So what did I do?
I went to somebody and I askedsomebody who I trust you know, I
(23:03):
don't go to just anybody, butsomebody that I trust.
And here's the mistake.
Here's the mistake my peopleperish for lack of knowledge.
(23:26):
Quickly after I shared my dreams, and this person was very like
telling me oh, what is Godtrying to tell you?
Um, um, like, what is going on?
Like, you know, are you doingsomething?
Are you doing something?
Are you doing something that'scausing this?
And I had to really like checkthis situation, this spirit, and
(23:54):
I had to remember my authorityin this moment.
And so I actually went to theBible.
You know which I should havedone first?
First mistake is going to ahuman to try to get a revelation
(24:18):
.
That was not like.
You know what I'm saying Likelet's not, let's not do that,
let's go to let's, does God say,and the Lord really reminded me
as I was sharing this, and evenI went to my husband and I had
to stop and I was like no, no,no, I really don't want to hear
what any other human has to sayabout it, because what we do is
(24:41):
catastrophize.
It's our sin nature tocatastrophize things.
Well, you got to think aboutthis and you got to think about
this and you got to think aboutthis.
Now, the lies of the enemy arevery, very complicated.
The word and the truth of God isvery simple.
Healing is very simple.
(25:08):
Healing, transformation issimple.
The truth is simple.
But let me tell you lies andall of the stuff that the enemy
offers is confusion, it's likeoverwhelming, it's fear, it's
all of those negative things.
But God is very simple.
He's truth, he's goodness andhe's joy and he's love.
You know what I'm saying.
So if something has you goingdown a road where you feel
(25:32):
confused, fearful, that is theenemy's snare.
It's a trap and it leads you tostart investigating something
you actually do not need toinvestigate.
You don't need to open thatdoor.
God said hey, this is what Godsaid to me.
(25:52):
He said don't overthink it.
You had these dreams, don'toverthink it.
And then I go to the word andI'm looking at my scripture, my
scriptures on sonship, and I'mlike, okay, lord, don't
overthink it.
And then I come to Nahum Nahum,nahum, nahum, 1.7.
(26:12):
And it says the Lord is good, astronghold in the day of
trouble.
He knows those who take refugein him.
And I'm like, ooh, stronghold,stronghold, stronghold,
stronghold.
Do I talk about stronghold?
I talk about strongholds Instrongholds.
I also talk in the same senseof a stronghold being a mindset
(26:40):
that is keeping you stuck,imprisoned.
And what were my dreams?
My dreams were like, oh, you'recaptive, you're prisoner,
you're being taken, blah, blah,blah.
I'm like this is so good.
And then I find out, oh, theLord is good, a stronghold in
the day of trouble, and he knowsthose who trust him.
(27:00):
And then I looked up whatstronghold meant, and I've done
this before, but it's a goodreminder to know what does
stronghold actually mean?
Stronghold is a place that hasbeen fortified so as to protect
it against attack.
So we have a choice.
(27:21):
The Lord said to me about thesedreams don't overthink it.
You have a choice.
Are you going to build astronghold that protects the
enemy's attack against your mind?
Are you going to build andtrust in my stronghold.
That says in Neom 1.7, the Lordis good and a stronghold in the
(27:44):
day of trouble.
Could I have like this istrouble.
I had two bad dreams.
This is trouble to me you knowwhat I'm saying.
Like it could be.
But am I going to trust in thetrouble and like really dissect
this thing that actually isnothing.
Or am I going to stand with theLord and know he is good and he
(28:05):
is my stronghold in a day oftrouble?
He's my fortress, he's myprotection against attack and he
knows those who trust him.
So he's going to know if I'mtrusting him or if I'm trusting
the devil.
He's going to know.
And then I have this book FirePrayers and I'm like I knew I
(28:26):
saw something about dreams.
I remember it and I in fact did, and it says Prayers to Destroy
Satanic Dreams.
And let me tell you what thissays.
It says if the enemy can't sowOkay, I'll start from the
beginning Satan likes the nightshift not only to attack you
outright, but also to sowdemonic seeds in your dreams.
(28:48):
He wants you to entertain andcultivate those seeds so that
they eventually bring the plansof his plans to pass in his, in
the natural realm.
The Bible shows how this worksin the story of a farmer whose
fields came under enemy attackWhile his men were sleeping.
(29:09):
His enemy came and sowed seedsof resembling wheat among the
wheat and went away.
So when the plants sprouted andformed grain, the weeds
appeared also.
Matthew 13, 25 through 26.
So here's the thing If theenemy can't sow bad seeds into
your mind when you are wideawake, he will try when you are
(29:34):
sleeping.
He does it through tormentingdemonic dreams that replay in
your mind during the day and canwreck havoc in your life.
Most people make the mistake ofnot cursing these dreams to the
root.
Then, instead of shriveling upand dying, they demand attention
and cause worry.
(29:55):
This is out of John Ramirez'sbook Fire Prayers.
I will link it in the shownotes.
Book Fire Prayers.
I will link it in the shownotes.
Highly recommend this tool totake down the enemy.
But here's the thing, and I'mcoming to an end and we're going
to go deeper into these thingsin future episodes.
(30:16):
I could talk to you all dayabout this, but I don't want to
keep you any longer.
My friend, my girlfriend, myamazing, beautiful sister, are
you taking something that ismade up maybe a dream you had or
a lie you believed, andfortifying it as a stronghold
(30:39):
and building a wall ofprotection against it for it.
But it's actually the attack ofthe enemy to take you off
kilter and away from yourdestiny.
And can you break down theenemy's stronghold that's
keeping you bound in your mindwith lies, keeping you bound in
(31:03):
your mind with lies?
Can you believe?
Nehemiah 1.7 says the Lord isgood, a stronghold in the day of
trouble, and he knows those whotrust him.
This is seeking first thekingdom, and all will be added.
We have to know our God, wehave to know our King In this
kingdom.
He is good.
In this kingdom he builds astronghold, which is a fort,
(31:28):
which is let me get it rightwhich is a place that has been
fortified so as to protect itagainst attack.
He wants to build a fortifiedplace around you that is
protecting you from the enemy'sattack.
And here's the thing he knowsthose who trust in him.
He knows.
(31:49):
Does he know that you trust himmore than the enemy?
More than the enemy?
Are you ready to push back thegates of hell that have put
strongholds in your mind?
That have put strongholds inyour mind?
These are the mind gates thatare keeping you.
You've got to take theterritory in your mind Romans 12
(32:09):
, 2,.
Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind.
Today is a good day to takeauthority and stand in place.
Read the Bible, know the word,know the kingdom, know the king
king, know your god, know yourfather, know that your daughter
(32:31):
and you will be informed.
So you will not perish becauseremember he said, my people
perish from lack of knowledge.
But but you, my friend, you, mysister, you, my girlfriend, are
informed, and once you knowsomething, you can't unknow it.
So, girl, you are accountableto it.
(32:55):
I believe in you.
I trust that this is going toland on soil that has been
tilled and is ready.
The seeds are going to beplanted in your heart.
That they would just start yourroots to grow deep and you
would take that time.
That your roots are growingdeep in the dark, because roots
(33:15):
grow first and they're in thedark.
That your hidden, secret placewith the Father would reap such
a great harvest of fruit thatwill be seen publicly that you
will be a ripple in this worldto share the good news in your
testimony of transformation.
Go make it happen.
(33:36):
I pray that this wasencouraging to you and I'm so
excited to see you next week.
If you did not catch the lastepisodes, girlfriend, go listen.
They got some nuggets in thereand I would love to know what
you think.
Leave us a review.
Leave us a review and afive-star, detailed so I can see
(33:59):
what you think.
So I love you.
Go be transformed and make itan amazing day.
Welcome to the Think Cute Podcast, where thinking
cute is a lifestyle not beingconformed to the world, but
being transformed by therenewing of your mind.
Join me as I lead you in thedisrupting of toxic patterns.
We are pushing back the gatesof hell and we are taking
(00:22):
authority over our minds and weare changing our lives.
So, in Jesus name, amen, amen.
Well, welcome back.
We have been havingconversations around sonship and
you know, from finding outwhere you are in your heart,
posture what you're believing totaking new territory, and I
(00:46):
just found an unpublishedepisode that I just published
about transforming adversity andembracing faith and mindset for
personal growth and fulfillment.
So enjoy that bonus episodethat is in the middle of the
series.
However, I'm excited to talk toyou today because God is on the
(01:07):
move and he wants you to knowsome things.
And who knows that?
The Bible says that my peopleperish.
God says my people perish forlack of knowledge, and so those
who get knowledge and know thetruth will be set free, and who
the sun sets free, come on.
Somebody is free indeed, and sotoday I'm going to bring you
(01:30):
some, some truth.
I'm going to bring you somerevelation that I have received
in the last 24 hours, which isvery exciting because, who knows
, come on, girlfriend, I'mtalking to it's just me and you
right here but do you know thatthere is an enemy that is out to
steal, kill and destroy you andyour life and everything
(01:53):
attached to your destiny, yourfamily?
He wants to divide, he wants tomake you offended, he wants to
destroy you, and it's everysecond of the day that you have
the opportunity to be offendedor you have the opportunity to
think a negative thought thatmakes you feel a negative
emotion, that makes you do anegative thing.
(02:17):
And so if we know, if we knowthis, if we have knowledge of
this, then we can be more awareand more equipped to dominate in
the game of good and evil.
Yes, there's two kingdoms atwar right now, and so it's up to
(02:42):
us to be educated, beindoctrinated with the truth,
okay, and so the society,mechanism, hypnotic system of
the world is going to try toshow you things that manipulate
the word of God and show youthings that are like that
(03:05):
manipulate the word of God andshow you things that are like,
oh, this is good, when actuallyit's bad.
It happened in the Garden ofEden, where Satan manipulated
and said hey, did God really saythat you couldn't eat of this?
You know of?
You know all the trees?
He focused on lack.
He focused on the one thingthat they couldn't have when
(03:26):
they were surrounded byabundance.
And so you know what today isbeing manipulated in your life
for you to focus on the lackversus the abundance that you
actually have in Christ Jesus.
Come on, like we have to becomeso abundantly aware.
So let me tell you where I'mcoming from today and again
(03:49):
we're in this series.
I want to.
I really am being ledpersonally and you know, with
you, into sonship, identity,being a daughter of the Most
High King.
What does it look like?
And the Bible says seek firstthe kingdom and all these things
will be added.
And this I've talked about itbefore and this is just.
(04:14):
We got to go back to it becauseit's the foundation.
It's like if we don't know whothe king is, if we don't know
what kingdom we are in to seek,how are we going to seek the
kingdom if we don't even knowwhat the kingdom is and what
that looks like?
There's a king that has adominion.
It's the dominion of the king,christ Jesus, god, our Father.
(04:37):
His dominion is his kingdom.
And so if we actually know howthis kingdom operates, what's
the ecosystem of the kingdom,what are the rules of the
kingdom, how do I, as a daughterin this kingdom, as a princess,
as a queen in the kingdom, howdo I operate?
(04:59):
If we don't know how theoperating system of this kingdom
is going about, then we can'tseek first the kingdom.
And so that's why it's soimportant to get in the word, to
know your identity in Christ,know what God says about you and
his kingdom that we may operateproperly.
And so, in sonship, in knowingthat you're a daughter of the
(05:23):
most high king, so in sonship,in knowing that you're a
daughter of the Most High King,we first have to know that there
is a king.
God is the king of the kingdom.
And if we seek him and it saysif I abide in you, lord God, you
abide in me, am I seeking you,am I abiding in you and you
(05:44):
abiding in me?
And so, and it also says, ifyou live by the flesh, you die
by the flesh.
If you live by the spirit, you,you, you'll live by the spirit.
You know what I'm saying.
Like I probably misquoted thatscripture, but in in essence it
is if I live by my fleshlydesires, I'm going to get my
(06:06):
like.
I'm hungry, I want to be lazy,I want to be comfortable, I
don't want to be uncomfortableAll of these things versus if I
live by the spirit.
The spirit is continuouslywanting us to get better and if
I live by the spirit, he wantsme to do the good thing.
He wants me to do the goodthing.
He wants me to do the hardthing that makes me good.
(06:27):
He wants me to do the rightthing.
That's hard.
When my flesh wants to do theeasy thing, that is equally hard
, but a different hard right.
We have to choose the hard thatwe like.
It's hard to be broke and it'shard to be rich.
It's hard to be fat and it'shard to be skinny, like or fit
(06:47):
or thin or healthy.
It's hard Like.
We have to choose our heart.
So you either pay for it on thefront end or you pay for it on
the back end.
All that being said is where areyou?
Goes back to that.
Where are you and whatterritory are you taking
currently as a son or daughterin the kingdom?
Are you seeking first thekingdom?
Because when we seek first thekingdom.
(07:09):
All of these things will beadded.
What things will be added?
Good things.
Jeremiah 29, 11 declares thatthe Lord says for I know the
plans that I have for you, saysthe Lord, they are plans for
good and not disaster or evil,plans to give you a future and a
hope.
(07:29):
So these are the things that wereceive when we seek first the
kingdom of heaven.
But what I want to bring to youtoday, in understanding what is
trying to knock you off of yourpath to goodness, knock you off
(07:49):
of your path to righteousnessand receiving all that God has
for you, is what is keeping youfrom sonship with the Father,
you from sonship with the Father.
And in our Transformationdevotional this week it was
(08:28):
brought up what the Bible saysabout sin.
Now we are humans.
You and I, girlfriend, havethis thing called sin nature.
It's sin nature that keeps usdisconnected from the Father.
It keeps us from intimacy withGod.
It keeps us from believing thatwe're a daughter of the Most
High King set in heavenly places, a lamp upon a hill, a lamp
that shines brightly with theglory of the father.
(08:48):
But when we are operating insin nature, unknowingly and or
knowingly, we are severing thatintimate connection with our
Father and we, if we areoperating in sin nature, we
(09:10):
cannot believe, because there'sthis underlining shame, this
underlining condemnation spiritthat says you're not good enough
, you're doing this, you'redoing that and you could just be
operating automatically, likeI've talked about.
It's a subconscious belief thathas not yet come to the
(09:32):
conscious mind of your being,which you can.
Then, if you become aware ofthis thing, you can then take
authority over it and replace itand renew your mind.
Romans 12.
2,.
Don't be conformed, but betransformed by renewing your
mind in the truth of God, thatthen you could have the life
(09:56):
that God has for you, where itsays exceedingly, abundantly,
more and beyond your wildestdreams or imaginations that you
would have.
But we have to do the work, wehave to replace and transform,
we have to allow God to work onus that we then may step into
all of these things that hepromises us.
(10:17):
But it's a process sometimesand we have to recognize that,
and you are not called to do italone.
You have the Holy Spirit andyou have God.
And then you have people likeme that have done a thing or two
in this area and are completely, radically obsessed with
knowing how to help you do thisthing, and so you could partner
(10:40):
with somebody like me in goingfurther, faster.
You know what I'm saying and sothat's what I've done.
Personally, I have partneredwith coaches and mentors to help
me go further, faster.
And, yeah, so don't do it alone.
Just know that you don't haveto do it alone.
Um, but can we talk reallyquick?
(11:00):
I'm going to open up this canof worms and I'm I'm really not.
This is going to be a series, soplease, please, please, come
back If you, if this isintriguing to you, if you want
to know what the sins are.
There's a list of them.
My girl, like there is a listand it's like some of the things
are like oh yeah, no big deal.
(11:22):
That's like no big deal, that'slike not a thing, but actually
it is a thing and it's causingyou.
It's causing you incongruencywith intimacy with God.
It's causing you to beincongruent with what you
actually believe or want tobelieve.
You might think a thing but notbelieve a thing, and so you're
(11:43):
not operating out of that thing.
You know what I'm saying.
So what are the barriers tosonship?
Now there's a list.
I'm going to quickly go throughthis list and then I'm going to
let you know that we're goingto deep dive in them in further
(12:03):
episodes and future episodes.
But here's number one unbeliefand not receiving God's love.
Number two bondage and sin andshame.
Number three orphan mentality,the spirit of rejection.
Number four wrong identity.
Number four wrong identity,lack of mind renewal.
(12:25):
I'm telling you this is mygreatest passion to see you set
free in your identity.
And if you are ready and wantfreedom and want to step into
who you truly are, you know youhave that, you have that vision.
I want to invite you to the BUtimes two challenge, where we
(12:47):
are going deep, breakingstrongholds, just like
disrupting all those toxicpatterns and limiting beliefs
that you've been believing, thatare keeping you from your true
identity.
By the end of that challenge,you're going to have a blueprint
challenge.
(13:09):
You're going to have ablueprint.
You are going to have ablueprint that gives you your
purpose, it gives you what youare here to do and why, and
you're going to have clarity andwith that blueprint you'll
never guess again of what you'redoing.
It may evolve, because we'realways evolving, we're always
growing and God is taking usglory to glory to glory.
But I'm telling you, girl, Iwant to invite you to get your
(13:31):
VIP ticket because that's whereyou can get coached, one-on-one,
in group setting.
You can ask a question, I'llanswer it one-on-one, but other
women will also be in thereasking questions and I'm telling
you it is the most fruitful,abundant space you could put
yourself into with other womenthat are going after true
identity and breakthrough onanother level.
(13:52):
And so, again, that's just.
I want to invite you to getyour VIP ticket.
A link is in the show notes,but here we go.
Number five father wounds,earthly trauma.
Number five father wounds,earthly trauma.
(14:16):
Number six pride andself-reliance.
Are you relying on yourself?
Seven lack of the Holy Spiritrelationship.
So listen to this.
It gets better.
There's more.
There's sins of commission,what you do.
There's sins of omission, whatyou don't do.
There's sins of the heart, theinward sins.
There's social and relationalsins and there's sins of the
(14:38):
eyes and flesh.
There's sins of mental andemotional sins.
Mental and emotional sins,religious sins, false
spirituality.
And there's identity-based sins, rejecting who God says you are
.
Have you ever said you're notgood enough?
That's a rejecting of who Godsays you actually are.
And so here's the deal.
(14:58):
I don't have time to go throughall of these today, but I want
you to know that this is wherewe're headed and this is where
we're going.
We're going to go deep intothis and if you really want to
go deeper, join.
Join the identity, um, the BUtimes two challenge, and or my
90 day transformation program,where I take you through all of
(15:22):
this stuff and Holy Spirit leadsus, um, but you can DM me or
email me for information aboutthat.
But let me tell you why I'm soexcited to talk to you today
about this.
I had a couple of dreams in thelast week and I've been in this
(15:42):
season.
I'm launching my business.
I'm launching, I'm steppinginto my destiny, I have made my
blueprint and I am walking itout.
Currently, can I tell you thatit is not easy and the
resistance that I amexperiencing internally is heavy
(16:05):
and it's hard.
But who knows?
I say this all the time Do notbe conformed to the world, which
will tell you this is too hard,it's okay, just take the easy
road.
You don't have to do this, oryou can choose to be transformed
by the renewing of your mind,and so I'm being transformed in
(16:27):
real time.
We're always being transformedif we choose.
And so I'm walking out mycalling, I'm walking out my
destiny and I'm believing Godfor massive impact.
Completely, when you make anintention, disruption always
comes.
Something's going to try tothrow you off, and so maybe
you've heard me say it beforebut with intention, disruption
(16:52):
comes.
So, anyways, but we have achoice.
And why do I share all of thissin, the sin, nature that we
have, the sonship, theincongruency, all of these
things?
There's so many layers to this,but the main thing that I want
to get to you today is that you,my girl, my girlfriend, you
(17:14):
have the power to overcomeeverything that's trying to
knock you off of your path.
You have the power.
It's your choice that if you'regoing to do the hard thing to
push through the resistance,imagine you're a caterpillar
turning into a butterfly.
If you help the caterpillar outof its cocoon, you disable it.
(17:39):
It will not have the strengthto fly if you help it out.
And so I've heard it said by MelRobbins no one's coming to help
you.
Nobody's coming to pick you upout of bed, no one's coming to
make your bed, no one's comingto do your hair, no one's coming
to save you, not like even Godwaits for you.
(18:01):
He gives you the keys to thekingdom, but you have to pick
them up and walk, pick up yourmat and walk.
So the premise of everythingthat I do and everything that I
have a passion for is to tellyou that, girlfriend, you are
(18:23):
powerful, but there is an enemythat wants to make you believe
that you are not and thateverything that has happened to
you it was your fault and it'sbecause that you were this and
you were that, and blah, blah,blah.
No, break agreement with thatlie and step into your true
(18:44):
identity as a son and a daughter.
Repent, repent, repent, repent.
We have to repent of our sins,little or big, we have to repent
.
If you live in a lifestyle anda hard posture of repentance,
you will find so much freedom,so so, so, so much freedom I am.
(19:09):
So now, quick to repent.
It is not above you to bringall of this to the Lord and say,
lord, I am, I repent, and say,lord, I repent, I turn from my
evil ways.
Whether you think it's evil ornot, we're going to get into
(19:38):
that.
I'm going to give you a listGod, I turn and I break
agreement with this thing.
Everything I tell you is becauseof that I want you to know that
you have the power to step inand so, where the enemy tries to
get you and or yourself, thatyou tell yourself these lies and
or he whispers, and then youlatch on and you build this
(20:00):
whole story around this lie andyou believe it, and then you
walk out your life believingthis lie.
And that's what your operatingsystem is.
It's your choice.
At the end of the day, I havethe same choice as you.
So the good news is is that,yes, if we learn what sin is, we
(20:26):
can do everything in ouranointing and partnership with
God to resist the devil so heflees.
It's not in our willpower.
We partner with heaven forstrength and courage.
You cannot do it on your own.
Trust me, it was like a decade.
(20:46):
I tried to do it on my own fora long time.
Okay, I found it veryexhausting.
It's exhausting.
You will burn out.
If you're in the middle ofburnout, it's because you are
doing it on your own power andyou're not trusting and
releasing to God and trustinghim to bring all the things that
(21:07):
you desire.
Seek first the kingdom of Godand all these things will be
added.
Let's learn who the king is sowe can be in the kingdom and be
the queen of what our destinyreally really is.
Okay, so, with that being said,let me get to my point.
That was my introduction.
(21:28):
I'm I like had this revelationthis morning.
I had another dream last night.
I had two dreams this week andthey were dreams of imprisonment
, of, like I was cleaning dirtyhouses, like a house, and I was
stuck.
And then I was kidnapped andI'm like what is going on?
(21:49):
And in my second dream, theywere trying to distract me to
make it comfortable that I wasactually being kidnapped.
And I'm like, what is going on?
Like I am on alert.
I got your number.
You are trying to take mesomewhere.
I do not want to go.
Nothing that you give me to tryto distract me with all of
these good things that seem likethey're good to make me relax
(22:13):
is going to get me to come intoagreement with you taking me
captive.
Okay, so these are dreams.
And now I wake up and I'm likedang, these are two dreams in
one week.
This is very interesting.
I haven't had a dream in a longtime and the last dream I had
that I can actually remember.
I was like rebuking something inthe name of Jesus in my dream
(22:35):
and I'm like, oh, that's alwaysa good dream when you bring
Jesus and you got your authorityin your dream.
You know so.
But I'm like ding.
So I wake up and I'm curious,and so here's what we do.
Something happens, we have adream or whatever, and then we
go to a person.
So what did I do?
I went to somebody and I askedsomebody who I trust you know, I
(23:03):
don't go to just anybody, butsomebody that I trust.
And here's the mistake.
Here's the mistake my peopleperish for lack of knowledge.
(23:26):
Quickly after I shared my dreams, and this person was very like
telling me oh, what is Godtrying to tell you?
Um, um, like, what is going on?
Like, you know, are you doingsomething?
Are you doing something?
Are you doing something that'scausing this?
And I had to really like checkthis situation, this spirit, and
(23:54):
I had to remember my authorityin this moment.
And so I actually went to theBible.
You know which I should havedone first?
First mistake is going to ahuman to try to get a revelation
(24:18):
.
That was not like.
You know what I'm saying Likelet's not, let's not do that,
let's go to let's, does God say,and the Lord really reminded me
as I was sharing this, and evenI went to my husband and I had
to stop and I was like no, no,no, I really don't want to hear
what any other human has to sayabout it, because what we do is
(24:41):
catastrophize.
It's our sin nature tocatastrophize things.
Well, you got to think aboutthis and you got to think about
this and you got to think aboutthis.
Now, the lies of the enemy arevery, very complicated.
The word and the truth of God isvery simple.
Healing is very simple.
(25:08):
Healing, transformation issimple.
The truth is simple.
But let me tell you lies andall of the stuff that the enemy
offers is confusion, it's likeoverwhelming, it's fear, it's
all of those negative things.
But God is very simple.
He's truth, he's goodness andhe's joy and he's love.
You know what I'm saying.
So if something has you goingdown a road where you feel
(25:32):
confused, fearful, that is theenemy's snare.
It's a trap and it leads you tostart investigating something
you actually do not need toinvestigate.
You don't need to open thatdoor.
God said hey, this is what Godsaid to me.
(25:52):
He said don't overthink it.
You had these dreams, don'toverthink it.
And then I go to the word andI'm looking at my scripture, my
scriptures on sonship, and I'mlike, okay, lord, don't
overthink it.
And then I come to Nahum Nahum,nahum, nahum, 1.7.
(26:12):
And it says the Lord is good, astronghold in the day of
trouble.
He knows those who take refugein him.
And I'm like, ooh, stronghold,stronghold, stronghold,
stronghold.
Do I talk about stronghold?
I talk about strongholds Instrongholds.
I also talk in the same senseof a stronghold being a mindset
(26:40):
that is keeping you stuck,imprisoned.
And what were my dreams?
My dreams were like, oh, you'recaptive, you're prisoner,
you're being taken, blah, blah,blah.
I'm like this is so good.
And then I find out, oh, theLord is good, a stronghold in
the day of trouble, and he knowsthose who trust him.
(27:00):
And then I looked up whatstronghold meant, and I've done
this before, but it's a goodreminder to know what does
stronghold actually mean?
Stronghold is a place that hasbeen fortified so as to protect
it against attack.
So we have a choice.
(27:21):
The Lord said to me about thesedreams don't overthink it.
You have a choice.
Are you going to build astronghold that protects the
enemy's attack against your mind?
Are you going to build andtrust in my stronghold.
That says in Neom 1.7, the Lordis good and a stronghold in the
(27:44):
day of trouble.
Could I have like this istrouble.
I had two bad dreams.
This is trouble to me you knowwhat I'm saying.
Like it could be.
But am I going to trust in thetrouble and like really dissect
this thing that actually isnothing.
Or am I going to stand with theLord and know he is good and he
(28:05):
is my stronghold in a day oftrouble?
He's my fortress, he's myprotection against attack and he
knows those who trust him.
So he's going to know if I'mtrusting him or if I'm trusting
the devil.
He's going to know.
And then I have this book FirePrayers and I'm like I knew I
(28:26):
saw something about dreams.
I remember it and I in fact did, and it says Prayers to Destroy
Satanic Dreams.
And let me tell you what thissays.
It says if the enemy can't sowOkay, I'll start from the
beginning Satan likes the nightshift not only to attack you
outright, but also to sowdemonic seeds in your dreams.
(28:48):
He wants you to entertain andcultivate those seeds so that
they eventually bring the plansof his plans to pass in his, in
the natural realm.
The Bible shows how this worksin the story of a farmer whose
fields came under enemy attackWhile his men were sleeping.
(29:09):
His enemy came and sowed seedsof resembling wheat among the
wheat and went away.
So when the plants sprouted andformed grain, the weeds
appeared also.
Matthew 13, 25 through 26.
So here's the thing If theenemy can't sow bad seeds into
your mind when you are wideawake, he will try when you are
(29:34):
sleeping.
He does it through tormentingdemonic dreams that replay in
your mind during the day and canwreck havoc in your life.
Most people make the mistake ofnot cursing these dreams to the
root.
Then, instead of shriveling upand dying, they demand attention
and cause worry.
(29:55):
This is out of John Ramirez'sbook Fire Prayers.
