The Whole Man

Opening prayer

0:07:38Before we get started, I'll just open us up in prayer. Heavenly Father, we just thank you for your goodness and your mercy. We acknowledge you in all of our ways that you have told us to. And you said that if we acknowledge you in all of our ways that you would direct our paths. We acknowledge that Jesus Christ is our savior. He's, he's your son. Lord God. And we thank you for the Holy Spirit that resides in us. Holy Spirit, we give you complete authority on this call wisdom, understanding. And we ask that you will come sit with us, give us divine revelation, give us divine strategy. Let us know exactly what is in the heart of the Father concerning our lives. Father, I release an anointing upon everybody that's here now. I also release an anointing upon everybody that's coming in, cover them in the blood of Jesus. Let them arrive safely. And Lord, I pray in Jesus name that whatever we build from this point forward, let it glorify you as our prayer in Jesus name. We pray. Amen.

The short version — where we've been

0:08:40So what's Wisdom Is Currency — what's this whole thing about? I'm going to give you the CliffsNotes version. About 10 years ago, God woke me up three o'clock in the morning. He asked me, how do you, how do you master time? I told him I didn't know. He said you master time the same way you master your finances as a believer, which is through the tithe. He asked me to give him 10% of my day, which is two and a half hours. He said, if I do that seeking wisdom that he was showing the secrets to mastering time, which also meant acquiring wealth. At that point, I knew the instruction. He told me to do so. I spent about five years after that doing everything other than what he told me to do. I tried to build a business, almost ran myself into the ground, working real hard, but not really seeing a lot of progress. Right. So, really, after about five years in, I gave him, started giving him the two and a half hours, started seeking him for wisdom. One of the first things he told me to do was start doing headshots for $75. And I noticed real quickly after I obeyed that simple strategy, I was making more money. It was a lot easier and it was just overall easier. I worked the system for a while. Then I got away from doing what he told me to do. Everything fell apart. And then after that, I said, well, God, I need to spend more time with you to figure out why this thing works. After spending a couple of years with him, he showed me this revelation that wisdom is actually a currency.

0:10:04That's what this whole thing about. The core of it to make it real simple is what we do is we believe that spending time with God seeking him specifically for wisdom, with the revelation of what the value of wisdom is, wisdom will then be measured unto us. That's what God said that if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of me, I will give liberally without reproach. So simply by us asking him for God for wisdom, he will give it to us. How God gives us wisdom, a lot of times will manifest in our life as ideas concept strategies. We then take those ideas concept strategies. We then develop those into business ideas and products and all those different things. And then that will then convert to something that man will be willing to pay us dollars for. We then can take those dollars, put it back into the system that will give us more time. And if we work this cycle, it's called a cycle of prosperity where basically we invest our time with God. Time becomes wisdom. Wisdom becomes ideas concept strategies. Ideas concept strategies becomes dollars. Dollars then become systems that buy up back more time. We then spend that time to spend more time with God. He then gives us more wisdom and it starts to cycle in our life of cycle of prosperity that we can live a different life. And the great news about it is it doesn't matter how much money you have.

0:11:23It doesn't matter how much resource you have. It doesn't matter any of that. God gives us all time, right? And if we're willing to spend that time working the system, it will create a lifestyle that will not only be a blessing to us, but that lifestyle of course then should translate into generational wealth. We then define wealth as balance between God, health, relationship, time, freedom and finances. So wealth here, we're not just talking about money. We're talking about creating a wealth lifestyle that is represented as balance between God, health, relationships, time, freedom and finances. When we get all those things working together, that allows us to live the life of fullness and freedom that I believe God wants for every believer. So that's what we're chasing here. Right. So I know I kind of gave all of that. I just consolidated the last two weeks into about five minutes. Just to give you a little bit caught up. But when you go back and look at the other videos, it's going to slow it all down and it'll all make a lot more sense. But I just want to kind of catch up a bit with us. Is that cool? Okay.

Why October 1 — and why you bring someone

0:26:59So, like I said, what we've been doing is we've been laying the foundation for the last couple of weeks, learning the Wisdom Is Currency principles. I do encourage, even if you were on those previous calls, if you get some time between now and the first of October, which is where we're going to do our seven day challenge. The seven day challenge is designed to take the visions and the ideas that we've been getting, and we're going to formalize that into an actual and actual plan. Right. And then from there, then we'll lay out exactly what we had to do to execute it. We also at that point figure out the tools that we need to start to align with the vision to be able to bring it to pass. So, but like I said, you definitely want to go back and just revisit the last, the first, first part and second part of the Wisdom Is Currency, just so that we understand the overall of it so that way when we start applying the principles, we'll be ready to go. All right. And so, again, so that will be the October 1st. Now, that being said, we do have time and I'm going to encourage you guys, which I'll get you in a second. I encourage you guys to invite somebody on this journey with you. Right. At least one person, maybe two, right. Reach out to them, even if they haven't been around for the last couple of weeks, tell them what we're doing, tell them we're doing a seven day challenge to help them build an executed vision.

0:28:31And you want to be able to share this with them, right. There's power in unity. There's power in being able to connect with people. There's an old African proverb that says, if you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, you go together, right. And so, which kind of leads me to one of these we're going to be talking about tonight, which is the power of relationships. Right. We talked about wealth being balanced between God health relationships, time, freedom and finances. That relationships is a very, very important sector of what we do. All right.

You don't have one account. You have five.

0:29:07So, I'm just going to jump into today. What we're going to be talking about today is the whole man, which is kind of what we already been talking about, right. We define wealth as balance between God health relationship time, freedom and finances. The way that you need to look at that is you need to look at each one of those as being an account. Right. So we're talking about Wisdom Is Currency. Right. So we need to look at each one of those areas as an account. We have a God account. We have a health account. We have a relationships account. We have a time freedom account. And we have a finances account. Most people of course only focus on their finance account. But the truth be told is that all of those accounts are necessary. And the fact is again, what we're seeking is balance between those five. And so if you really start to neglect any one of those five, what I found is that you're not going to be able to walk in the fullness of what God intended. All five of these have equal weight. Right. And so you really need to start thinking about as you're building your vision as you're building everything that you're doing. You need to start thinking consciously about am I building and am I making a conscious decision to make the possible decision. To make deposits in each one of those accounts. Right. So God, we put God first. Right. And so God, and we put him first because what happens is when we spend that time with him, we're actually put depositing into that God account first.

0:30:45Right. That one we place first. Now all of them are important. Right. Don't get me wrong. All of them important. But what I find is that if you ever put try to put one of them. Above the God account, it just don't balance out. It never balances out. As a matter of fact, the way God himself is set up God's glory has a weight. Right. God's glory has an actual weight. Right. And if you really want to find balance in your life, what you should do is instead of trying to put everything else on one side of the scale and then try to put God on the other side of the scale last. That's always a mess up. Right. Because whenever you try to put God on the scale last and you put everything else you want to do on the other side of the scale. What's going to happen is you don't know you can't determine the weight of God's glory. Right. So God's glory is going to mess up your balance. If you try to add him last. But if you add God first right on the scale. Right. And then you start adding other things and allowing him to help you add other things on the other side. What happened then is God will assist you in creating that balance. Right. So we have God and then we have everything else on the other side. That's why God has to go first. So balance between God, health, relationships, time, freedom and finances. Right. But then beyond God, now we have to also as I said, we have to make sure that we are focusing on all of our lives.

0:32:18We have to make sure that we are focusing on all five of those accounts. You know the scripture says 3 John 1:2 — "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers," right. So if we put our soul prospering first, everything else will balance out. Right. Does that make sense everybody so far.

Out of balance — the rich young ruler, and me

0:32:43And so you know sometimes, you know, you find people many times they'll get so far out of balance. I remember the story with the rich young ruler right most of us know that story Matthew 19 right and where he came and he said you know he was doing everything that he could do to live a righteous life. And then Jesus said, well, you know what I want you to do is I want you to sell everything that you got and come follow me. Right. And so in the rich rulers mind, he was doing everything he was living a life he was doing everything he was supposed to do. But what Jesus was helping him to find out was that listen truth be told you're out of balance because what happens is I'm testing your balance right now. You're telling me that your wealth, your riches actually are more important to you than a relationship with me right. And anytime we get to that place is going to mess itself up. That's why I think the Lord when I started this whole bad whole journey. And he helped me to see that fast because remember I told you, at first he told me to give him a two and a half hours. I gave him a two and a half hours and immediately about two weeks out of that he gave me a strategy I started doing the headshots and I didn't even want to do it but I did it because he told me to do it. And before I knew it, I was making more money. It was easier for me. And it was more consistent right things were going well right.

0:34:11I'm spending time with God two and a half hours business is going well I'm making money where everybody do trips things are going wonderful. But then what started happening was because I was making more money because I had more resources because I had more time. I started skimping on my time with God instead of giving them two and a half hours. You know I was like God I give you an hour today I'll make up for tomorrow right. What happened was I got out of balance and just as quick as everything begin to stabilize and prosper that out of balance through everything off right everything full apart I told you that tried to be transparent right. So the balance part is so important and that's where the two and a half hours comes in. And again I want to make sure we're clear because I don't want to put bondage on you guys. It's really not about the amount of time right. We say two and a half hours because we're conditioning ourselves we're giving ourselves discipline we're making this a part of a lifestyle. Lifestyles required discipline right. And but then at some point when you start to practice discipline in your lifestyle and you get so consistent at it at some point the thing that used to require discipline doesn't even require discipline anymore. That's just how you live. You're just saying that's what it that's when it becomes a lifestyle right. And so really it's not about the two and a half hours. But what it is it's about developing a lifestyle that we prioritize spending time with God first and foremost getting to know him seeking him for the revelation understanding the value of that. And like we talked about last week. If you really understand this whole thing and how it works.

0:35:50This really us spending our time with God is really all about worship. It's really about connecting with him and acknowledging that Lord I'm spending time with you and I'm exalting you above all things. I'm not putting nothing above you right. And when we get to that place that balances out everything else. Amen. Any questions there any thoughts.

The relationships account

0:36:16So let's talk about the relationship account. Right. Now I told you my story. I was following the instruction. Things started going well I stopped following the instruction and then things fell apart. And then, and then I begin to seek him and then I started following the instruction again. And then things started picking back up. But then again I'm keeping it real I'm human right life be life in. And so even though my heart wanted to do it. I kept finding myself always falling off like I would get into the rhythm but then things start pulling away and then I'll get away from it right that went off for a long time in my life. And so finally one day you know I said man I said I need some accountability because I realized I just I could not keep that covenant by myself. I tried. I wanted to but I just could not find the discipline to do it. And so what I did was I then begin to put a deposit in my relationship account. Right. And what I did was I reached out to a good friend of mine. I said Dennis man I said listen, you know he was going through some things in his life at that time. And I was like look man I said you know I know you're going through some things. I said you know God gave me this revelation about spending time with him I've been trying it when I'm good when I'm consistent at it works but I'm just finding a hard time getting consistent with it.

0:37:49So I was like look I know you're having some challenges do. I said how about we do this how about you and I start agreeing that we're going to wake up five o'clock in the morning together. Right. And we're going to hold each other accountable. Right. I'm depositing whether I realized that at that time or not. I was making it a positive in my relationship account. Right. Because my God account was good. My heart was good. But the other accounts that I needed to be tapping into to keep me balanced was off. So I was like I got to put some time in my relationship account. So then I said man listen let's do this we'll do it we'll you know hold each other accountable. And so Dennis said man you know look I need I needed just as much as you were going to start doing it immediately him and I we start waking up five o'clock in the morning. And I said what are those mornings man I you can hear between him and I we both sleepy. Right. But you know what I noticed is you know it was easier for me to not jump on when it was just me by myself. But I was like man I didn't jump on this call with me last thing I want this for dinner to jump on this call at five o'clock five thirty in the morning and I don't be on it that's just ain't a good look. So now because of that relationship what happens now is that relationship also gave me more discipline right. So Dennis and I would start doing our thing just him and I would jump in on a call that went on for a couple of weeks then all of a sudden what started happening was because of the fact that I invested in the relationship account like any other account that what you invest in will grow right. And so then I had another buddy in my reach out his name is Nate and Nate was going through some stuff and I'm like look Nate man look I'm just a man I'm here.

0:39:35I talked to you whatever I said but you know check it out man I got a brother of mine you know Dennis we've been on this prayer line. You know for the last couple of months you know five thirty and it's been good man and we've been talking about the Wisdom Is Currency principles and you know we just been chopping it up and we're praying we just fellowship more so than anything. Nate was like man look I need that. And so then all of a sudden Nate joined and then about a week later Nate talked to Danny and then Danny was like man okay look you know I want part of this too right. And so now before I knew it I looked up now it just wasn't me my relationship account was growing and for about two and a half years three years me and those gentlemen every single morning God told us to do a Monday through Friday right we took off Saturday we took off Sunday but Monday through Friday we jumped on that call at five thirty in the morning and five o'clock in the morning and we would talk about the wisdom principles right each one of them we would take some time I say man listen Danny today you talk about time freedom Dennis tomorrow you talk about the God account Nate you know tomorrow you talk about health right. And so what happened now is those relationships begin to create an atmosphere a system that then fostered the consistency right and it was during that period.

0:41:05That's when God began to give all the other revelation right but it came because I invested in I treated that relationship account just as valuable as the God account now again we got to get the God account always a little bit more but that relationship account was just as important right and then of course remember we have five accounts what are those accounts you have your God account because it's about between God health relationships time freedom finances right God health relationships time freedom finances so now we begin to consciously even though we're spending that time we're getting that word that revelation on each one of those accounts we're making daily deposits on each one of those accounts are y'all getting what I'm putting down did I lose anybody are you guys with me right you with me? … So maybe you're married maybe you're not maybe you got a fiance whatever it is but what I'm telling you is that what I want to do is see these all of these accounts working in your life start seeking God asking him God where let me start making deposits in my relationship account right and I'm telling you when you do that's what's going to help you to be able to sustain this lifestyle because again make no mistake about it what we're talking about is a lifestyle what we're talking about now is going to change your life when you look up if you're consistent with this six months from now 12 months from now your lifestyle is going to be different right right that's what this is all about any questions any comments any thoughts let's go ahead and share for a couple minutes before we move on. No questions? Nothing? All right.

The time freedom account

0:43:57Let's talk about the time freedom account. The time freedom account, this one right now is very important, right? And we talked about this a little bit earlier. I believe, I believe that it should be the desire of every believer to be able to spend as much time with God as he would like and then have the freedom to do whatever God told them to do. That's how I define time freedom, right? To be able to as a believer, right? If God says, you know what Ken, I want you to just shed everything down and just spend the next six hours, spend the next day. And I want you to just go to the beach and I want you to just commune with me and we're just going to talk, right? To be able to have a lifestyle so rich that you can put everything else on pause, right? You know it, no accountability to a job, no bonus, no nothing. And be able to say God says he want me to spend an hour and not have to worry about, you know, the bills getting paid or amen. If I take off, that's a whole day of my paycheck that I'm going to miss, right? This is what I'm talking about, time freedom, right? So does money help with time freedom? Of course it does, right? But you, but you can have people who have a lot of time, but they ain't got no resources, right? They got all kind of time, like, you know, they're hanging out on social media all day from the morning to the afternoon. But if God asks that person to go and bless somebody, they don't have any resources to do anything, right? So having time without having resources, that ain't real freedom. Real time freedom, again, gives you the ability to spend as much time with God as he would like and then have the freedom to do whatever he asks you to do without hesitation. That is what we're seeking, right? That is what we're seeking, which again goes back to, we talked about the wheel, right? God is concerned about that. That's why the first part of the wheel he gives us is time, right? Time then, if God gives us time, if we're really working the principles right, every seed produces after its own kind. So if God is giving me time, the end of this should multiply more time, right? That's just the way the world works. If you want money, you got to plant money seed, right? If you want a stronger prayer life, you need to plant time and prayer, right? We can't get one without the other, right? So God is giving us, God is planting the seed in us, right? The verse says that he gives seed to the sower, right?

0:46:33So him giving us that initial amount of time, and look, I'm going to keep it real with you. I know people got jobs, you got children, you got obligations, you have husbands, you have wives, you have extracurricular activities, you got responsibilities at the church, you have, you know, everything else that you got going on, I get that, I do, I understand. But I'm telling you, if you prioritize that time with God, God will then show you how to balance the rest of your time. That was one of the problems that I knew I was having a problem. Whenever I, when God told me to give me two and a half hours for that five years, I didn't give it to him. What I noticed is, yeah, the money, I had enough money to be able to take care of my bills, we were okay, you know, but the money part didn't really bother me. What bothered me the most was that I knew I never had time. I always felt when I wasn't giving him that two and a half hours, I always felt I was playing catch-up all the time. Like I'm always behind in projects, or someone paid for a project, and by the time they paid me, I still had to fulfill the project. And so now I'm trying to work to fulfill a project that I ain't even got no more financial benefit from. You understand what I'm saying? I'm constantly trying to catch up. There was never a surplus. That was the first thing that I noticed, right?

0:47:53Why is that? Again, because if you're not depositing time, you're not going to reap time, right? It's, I know it's like a dumb, but it really is that simple. If we are not sowing time, we're not going to reap time, right? So that time account is important, all right?

The audit

0:48:17So everybody, if you can grab a pen and piece of paper, if you don't have one already, all right, I'm going to give you a couple minutes, just grab a pen and a piece of paper. And on that pen and a piece of paper, I want you to write five lines, like so one, two, three, four, five. And then I want you to write God, health, relationship, time, and finances, all right? This is, this is, nobody's going to see this. I'm not going to ask for this, right? We're not going to exchange this. I'm not going to even have you talk about it. I did this, this is between you and the Lord, but I want you to see it, right? So write that out. God, health, relationship, time, freedom, and finances, all right? And for a couple of minutes, I want you, we're going to pause, right? Right? Right? And I want to ask one question, all right? Now look at that. Think about each one of those being an account, right? Right? Think about each one of those being an account, right? And let me ask you this, if God made you rich this year, if he gave you a bunch of money this year, right? Which one of those accounts do you think would suffer? Now, you don't have to answer that to me, right? Right? This is between you guys, right? Which one of those, if God gave you money, which one of those accounts do you think would suffer the most? All right? Would your relationships suffer the most? Sometimes people get a bunch of money and they turn their back on everybody that they love, right? Right? Sometimes people get a bunch of money, they even turn their back on God, they ain't got time to go to church no more. God understand, God know my heart. Take that assessment, right? Because if, and really try to be honest with yourself, because if you do, what that's going to do, if that's going to let you see before the money shows up, which of those accounts you need to start working on now, right? Are the relationships strong, right? Think about that. Do you know how many people that are rich, meaning they got a bunch of money, but they don't have an honest, loyal relationship around them? Like they literally, everyone around them, they know it's a transactional relationship, right?

0:51:26They got a bunch of money, but what they really would love to have is a loyal friend, right? And why is that? Because they never really invested in that account. The money account was good, the finances, but they never really invested into developing good strong relationships, right? So, look at each one of those and I want to pause here on purpose because remember, again, this platform ain't just about putting money in your pocket. Yeah, we're going to do that.

The health account — "when you fast"

0:52:00This platform is to get you to the point where the end, it produces a lifestyle that is balanced between God, health, relationship, time, freedom, and finances, right? Let's talk a little bit about the health, right? Health, that's a big one. That's a big one. Do you know how many people again, they're rich, super rich, but their health is so poor that they can't even, they don't even have the energy. They're chronically sick all the time because they never really took time to really invest in the health account, right? Now, how do we invest in the health account? Let's talk about that a little bit, right? As a believer, one of the things that we need to prioritize when we talk about our health and this feeds into the system, fasting guys is part of this, right? Fasting is a part of this overall system, denying your body, right? Denying and doing that, fasting not only obviously has its spiritual benefits, but it also has its natural benefits as well, right? When we, when we, when we deny that body and stop putting so much food in our bodies, it gives our bodies a chance to heal. I mean, I had back about two years ago, I was going through through some things, man. I just, I wasn't feeling good at all in my body. I just, it was like it was off. My digestion was off, my energy was off. I was like, man, I said, you know, just something, something felt very wrong. And if I tell the whole truth, if at that time I was going to do blood work and they kept saying that they were seeing like my white blood cell count was off and all those everything that I didn't tell the doctor how bad I was feeling. And I'm not the only one, that's me and that's us. We go to the doctor, doctor, say, how are you feeling? Oh, I'm good.

0:54:10No, I'm good and well, that you're ain't good, right? But I wasn't feeling well. I just wasn't feeling well. And then God told me, he said, he said, I want you to do a fast. And he said, I want you to do a fast, do three days complete water only, and then followed by four days fruits and vegetables, right? Primarily vegetables, but fruit and vegetables. So three days complete water only, and then four days fruit and vegetables. So a total of seven day fast. And at that time again, I wasn't feeling too well. Now mind you, during this time, me and the fellows, we going strong, we got our prayer going, I see the business and everything is going well. Right. So my other accounts were looking pretty good. My God account was doing good. My time freedom account was doing pretty decent. My relationship account was starting to thrive. You know what I'm saying? Everything else was going, but my health account, my health account, there was an issue there. I was my balance was low overdrawn, in some cases, right? So I said, okay, God, I'm gonna give you that. And I remember when I on the week that I decided to do the fast, I remember specifically that morning, I was feeling so bad, I was on the prayer line, and I'm bent over on the prayer line. And I'm just feeling bad. Now, I'm on the prayer line, but I'm feeling bad. That day I started doing the fast. And by about day two, I noticed my energy started coming back. And then by day three of the fast, I was laying on my couch.

0:55:51And I realized I said, man, you know what, I think for the first time in about a decade, I felt my into my body internally felt at peace, right? Because I had given my body a chance to heal. Now, we're gonna talk about this a little bit. I don't want to drag too much. But that's the way your body that's the way God designed us. God didn't design us guys. He the he man created that whole thing where we're supposed to eat three big meals a day. That's a man created, right? God created us to fast. This is why he said in a word when he says, when you fast, right? He didn't say if he said, when, right? Fasting is a part of us because fasting gives our bodies a chance to align. It gives our bodies a chance to heal, right? So, so when we talk about our health account, obviously you want to work out. Remember, I tell you, when God told me to give him the two and a half hours, he told me he said, look, you got two and a half hours with me, you could spend split that between prayer and the word and even take a part of that time to work out part of that, right? Now, we don't want to just take two and a half hours going, working out, no prayer time, no, no, no reading. Now that ain't it, right? But if we can include part of that time towards working out, because guess what? Now, if your heart is postured, right? The Bible tells us to present our bodies unto the Lord as living sacrifice, right? Holy and acceptable, right? Because what God wants is God wants us to live the complete, have the whole man be complete, right? He wants our relationship with him to be good, the time freedom to be good, the finances to be good, the relationship to be good, and the health to be good, right? Because if you got all the other stuff, but your body is hurting and you can't enjoy life, what's the part of point of that, right?

0:57:54So fasting is important. And now, and I got it. And again, I'm not, I'll be honest, right? He told me to do it. And he told me I should do that once a month, right? For three, four months, I did it. After about a month three, I was in the best shape of my life. I mean, I felt great. I was feeling amazing. But being human, I started getting away from it, right? But now I've committed back to doing that. And I want to tell you again, my body is better, my weight is down, blood pressure is lower, digestion is better, stress levels are regulated, right? Because now, I now I'm walking in the fullness of it, you understand what I'm saying? So we got to make that important. And now, what I notice is every month, I do on the 15th of the month, I just I start a seven day fast, three days, water only, followed by four days fruits and vegetables. I do that once a month. And now is at the point where my body is, is craving it like, you know, the other days off of the fast, I eat food. If I want to burger, I go get a burger. If I want a couple sides, please, I eat a slice of pizza. But I make sure on those seven days, I do what God tell me to do. Because again, God is not trying to take anything from us. He's not telling you to fast so that you can deny yourself completely and never be able to enjoy the fine things. And I've got want you to enjoy this life, right? But God says, listen, if you give me that, then you'll have the leeway to be able to do the other things that you want to do.

0:59:39And you'll be able to enjoy this life. Do you know how many people man that right now, if God told them to go and, you know, start a missionary trip and go here and go there, they literally would have an argument with God. They'd be like, God, I want to do it. My mind want to do it. My heart want to do it. But my body says, no, right? Now your body, your spirit and your calling is now a slave to your body. Right? That's what the fasting does spiritually, mentally and emotionally and physically, right? It, it disciplines the body. So then now the body can line up with what God says it wants us to do. Right? So again, balance between God, health, relationship, time, freedom, and finances. When we look at all of those things, all of those areas, when all of those accounts are full, all of those accounts are operating from a place of abundance. That's when now we live a life where now we are blessed to be a blessing. Right? Now our life so radiates the glory of God that you can walk into a room, you need to tell them you're a believer, they'll know. They'll look at you. I, you know, listen, that person is just glowing. Right? God wants that for us. He wants that for us. And I know, you know, people would say, you know, that's too much. It's not too much. It's not too much. Now, it's not. Yeah, I believe God wants us to live a health and healing life, whole life. I believe that God wants me to have a beautiful loving nurturing relationship with my wife and my kids. I believe that God wants me to live a financial free life so that I can be a blessing to the kingdom, blessing to myself and have the freedom to do what I want, what he wants me to do. I believe that God wants me to be able to live a life where my time is so available to him that he can ask me to do whatever he wants to do. And I can do it without any hesitation. And I believe that God wants me to live a life in a way where I prioritize time with him above all things. And a relationship with him above all things, right? Balance between God, health, relationship, time, freedom and finances. That's what we're after everything else that we're building, all the other businesses, and all those different things. All of those other things are designed to support the chief mission. But the chief mission is to have the total man be fulfilled. Amen?

Mama's cake — trust the process

1:02:18The thing that I want to leave you guys with, it's a cool little story, right? Because I remember when I was a kid, my mom, she used to, she used to bake. And I used to be, I don't know, probably about between five, six, seven years old, she used to bake a lot, like cakes and pies and cookies and all that different stuff. And I remember, like, it was times where she would bake and I would see her pull out all the ingredients. Like she used to bake this stuff from scratch, right? So the egg and the flour and the baking powder and all that good stuff. She'll put all that stuff out and she mix it all up in a bowl. And she used to always give me the bowl like that so that I can, you know, take the bowl and eat it, you know, I don't know if you guys do that. But then she would then take all that stuff, she put it into, into a pan. And when she put that in the pan, you know, you could see that in the little window in the oven, you could see the cake as it was cooking. I always go to that, you know, window just kind of watch the cake cook. And then after being in there for a while, you know, you would start to then start to smell that cake, the aroma of the cake, it just started filling the whole kitchen, filling the whole house. And I used to ask my mom, I said, "Mom, you know, is it ready yet?" And so she'd be like, "No, not yet, just a little while longer." And so then she'd be like, "No, she's..." And I'd be like, "Okay, I'll wait." And I'll go away. It probably felt like an hour, but I'm sure it was probably maybe like two or three minutes. I'll come back.

1:04:02Is it ready yet? And she'd be like, "No, no, it's not." And it used to aggravate me because I could smell the cake. And I'm looking through the little window. I can see the cake, right? And so I could say I could smell it. I could see all the ingredients of our mix together. Everything in my mind said, "Okay, this cake is ready." But I would ask again, "Is it ready yet?" And then she would say, "No, no, we need to just a couple more minutes." And then finally, after a while, I would see her open up that oven door and then she'd take that cake and she'd set it on the counter. And so my mind, I'm like, "Boom." All right, so here we go. Cake is finished. I'm like, "Mom, can I have a piece?" And so she'd then she would tell me, "No, wait, it has to cool a little bit." Now, again, I'm a kid. So I'm like, "What do you mean it got a cool?" Like, the cake is out. It's hot and smelling good. Let's go ahead and do it. And so then after a while, she'll let us sit there for maybe an hour or whatever. And then I'll come back. I'll be like, "Okay, can we have a piece yet?" She's like, "No, not yet. I have to put the icing on the cake." Right? And so now she's taking that the cake. She put the icing on the cake. And so I'm looking at the cake, right? And I'm like, "All right, wait a minute. Now, so I can smell the cake. I can see the cake. Now the cake looks good. Is it ready? She'd tell me, "All right, give me a couple minutes." And then finally, she'd call me in there and she'd be like, "All right, it's ready." And she'll cut me out of a slice of that cake, put it on the plate. I begin to eat the cake, the best cake ever.

1:05:28Right? But what I learned just then was that it was a process. It was a process to be able to get to that finished point. Right? And so what we're talking about building this whole man, you got to think about this as a process. Right? And in the process as you're going, there's going to be seasons in the vision where you're walking, where it's going to look like it's so close, like, man, it's right there. But for some reason, you're going to reach out and you're going to hear God say, "No, not yet." Right? And you're going to like, "But God, you're gonna hear God say no, not yet, right? And you're gonna like, but God, I don't understand. The door is open, this is lined up, everything. And he's gonna say no, not yet, right? Because God is gonna take you through a process, right? And what I learned later on that took me a while to learn was that the whole process and even the putting on the icing of the cake was that God was, he was not only baking a cake, but he was preparing the cake to be presented, right? And so putting that icing on it was the presentation part of it, right? And then after that presentation, that final step, that's when God said now it is finished, right? So as you're developing this thing, that's why I keep telling you this is gonna be a lifestyle because I want you guys to be ready, right?

1:06:45Some of this stuff you're gonna see pop off within the next week, some of this stuff you're gonna see pop off within a month, some of it, right? But remember, God is baking a cake, right? That's what he's doing, right? All of the ingredients he's putting together, he's baking a cake, but if you be patient, trust the process, when he's finished, he's then gonna be able to present you to the world and it's gonna be finished and it's gonna be good, all right? So just trust the process here, guys. Don't get frustrated, don't check out, and even if you find yourself in this process, you gotta find yourself getting, you know, fall by the wayside and you get off track, just get yourself off, dust yourself off, get back in line. I did it many a times, I still do it now. I have not gotten to the point yet where I'm walking in all these areas perfect, I am not. I'm still perfecting it, right? But what I do know is that by the time God finishes, it will be perfect, all right? Let patience have her perfect work in you. If you do that, I'm telling you, God is gonna do something special in your life, all right?

The whole thing, in one breath

1:07:53So that's it, I'm done. That this, we've covered the Wisdom Is Currency principles, right? We've talked about spending time with God, we talked about the wheel, we talked about the wisdom, we talked about the value of wisdom, we talked about how the ideas become ideas, concept strategies, we talked about working that, those ideas, concepts, and strategies to then produce products and systems and solutions for people that people will pay for, they'll exchange their dollars for those things. We talked about then how to take those dollars that you get, you're gonna put part of that back into the kingdom, you're then gonna take part of that to then create systems, which is what we talked about earlier, those systems are then going to take what you've created to scale it, and most importantly, buy back the time, that time then you're gonna be able to put back into the system, which will then spend more time with God, seeking Him for more wisdom, which will then start that cycle. And now what we do, what we talked about here last, is making sure that as the cycle is going, we make sure that we're conscious about putting deposits in each one of the accounts to make sure that everything stays balanced, and then now we're talking about trusting God through the process so that he can perfect you.

October 1 — and the prayer

1:09:07All right, it's all laid out, right? And some people are gonna hear this whole thing and be like, okay, yeah, this is common sense, and they're gonna write it off, right? Some people are gonna hear what we've said, and they're gonna say, nope, I'm gonna take this stuff, I'm gonna apply it. Those that apply it, you're gonna get results, I guarantee it, I guarantee it, right? So now that we got that, what we're doing is the stage coming up on October the 1st, we're gonna start our seven day challenge, right? Seven day challenge is going to be us for seven days, we're gonna be committing to giving God that two and a half hours, right? And we're gonna be committed to seeking God for wisdom, direction. Now, some of you have already started to get ideas, concept strategies, don't be surprised if during that seven days, if he gives you ideas, or an addition, he may in fact even give you something completely different, right? Go with it, it's what I wanna tell you. Go with it, because God, remember, he's putting all the pieces together, right? And at the end of that seven days, we're gonna come out with it with a concrete plan, and then after that seven days, then we're going to start the actual building process, the execution process.

1:10:32That's where we're then gonna tap into the AI. We're gonna set you guys up with a vision execution system. I'm gonna show you guys how to leverage AI to be able to create a system that keeps you accountable. We'll start to figure out how to tie, depending on what God gave you, create systems around that so that it'll build what he's giving you, and what you'll probably notice as God being the chess player that he is, I guarantee you, you'll start to notice, and you probably already have started to notice, that many of the things that he's given us individually, there's gonna be ways where we're gonna start to be able to connect with each other and leverage each other so that everybody can go up, right? So my prayer, I always say this, you guys need to write this down. This is a prayer that I say all the time, and this is at the heart of the Wisdom Is Currency. I always ask God, give me the wisdom to leverage time, talent, people, money, and technology in a way that it produces a mutual benefit for everyone involved, right? God, give me the wisdom to leverage time, talent, people, money, and technology in a way that it produces a mutual benefit for everyone involved, right? We all should go up from this, everybody should go up.

1:11:51In your own way, the way God ordained, everybody should go up, all right? That's what I'm after.

Why this matters now

1:16:21And last thing, as I mentioned before, so we're starting the seven day challenge on October 1st, invite at least one person to take the journey with you. Invite at least one person. And then, for those people, of course they would have to go back and look at the videos, but everything's there. But at least invite one person. We had about 17 people that signed up so far. And I don't even care about the numbers, I'll be honest with you. If I get two or three of y'all that's ready to run, let's run, right? But I think a lot of other people need what we're learning for this season. I'll say this and I'll just end with this. … The way that people have done commerce, the way that people have conducted money, the way that people have done business, all of that stuff is about to change, right?

1:19:20The system itself is broken and it's about to be exposed that it's broken and been broken for a while. Now, why am I saying that? As kingdom citizens, we don't care because that's why what we're talking about now with Wisdom Is Currency. It's a new system. It's a system that's going to work. It's not, this system that we're talking, we're learning is not based on the dollar. It's not, right? The wisdom becomes a currency. That currency then can be exchanged for dollars, for yen, for crypto, for whatever, for the other currency that the world operates in, but the principle remains the same. That's why understanding this stuff right now is critical for the believer. There's a lot of people that are getting ready to enter into an economy that unfortunately, the church is not teaching us enough to be able to adapt. You have kids and elderly people that are getting ready to go into a world that is going to be completely different than any other generation has seen before. So invite people to this, right? They need this, they need this.

1:20:38I'm telling you, they need it, right? Not only for where they are now, there's people that are hurting for finances now. There's people that are losing jobs now. Companies are going bankrupt. Companies are laying off people. It's going to get worse from the world standpoint, but we to believers, God is going to show that his system, his ways supersedes all of that. But the people perish because of a lack of knowledge and a lack of understanding. If people don't know this stuff, you're going to have a lot of good people that are going to suffer, all right? So share this, share this with boldness. I'm telling you, share this with boldness. Invite somebody to jump on. Don't think, all right, they didn't listen to the first three. It's okay, they can go back and look at the recordings. They need to get it. They need to start teaching their children. They need to start teaching their parents. We need to shift. We need to shift. You guys are leading. We need to shift and be in position, right? 'Cause things are getting ready to get crazy. It's already happening now. It's new, it's different, right? Operate according to the kingdom.

1:22:01Work this stuff, work it, work it, all right?

Closing prayer

1:25:07So with that, we'll end in prayer. Father, we thank you for your loving mercy. We thank you for your grace. We thank you for first of all being who you are. Lord, I thank you that you are such a loving God that you, you've gone way ahead of us preparing our place, preparing our steps, ordering our steps even before we got here Lord God. So I just pray Father God that the Holy Spirit take complete control. I pray that even as we push into our seven day challenge, Father, I pray that you would visit each and every person here, open up their mind, show them a new perspective. And Father, I pray Lord God that you would help us to not lean to our own understanding but help us to acknowledge you. Lord, we know that you're able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask or think. So I pray Father that you would give each and every person here the faith to believe beyond what they've seen before, beyond what they know. Lord God, open up their spiritual eyes, cause them to see opportunities in a way that they never would have seen before Lord God. Reveal it to us Father God, show us Lord God. We're giving you permission Lord.

1:26:25We're giving you permission to use us in this season for your glory. So Father, we don't put you in a box. We want you to do whatever you wanna do and we're in agreement with it. Have your way, have your way. And I thank you for each and every one of them. I pray that the words that were spoken, I pray that the seeds that were sown, I know that they fall on good ground. Now Father, I pray that you also now send helpers and workers that are gonna water that seed so that it produces fruit and that you will get the increase. So I thank you. I release it all into Your hands and I pray that you be glorified in Jesus name. Amen. Amen.
