Consider Your Ways

The fastest way to drain a blessing is to treat it like it came from you. That’s the uncomfortable thread we pull in this teaching from Haggai, where people return to the promised land full of hope, get busy building their own lives, and then wonder why they “sow much” but harvest little. We’re not aiming to guilt anyone. We’re aiming for clarity: slow down, take inventory, and “give careful thought to your ways.”

We talk about what it looks like today to rebuild the “temple” first, not as a building, but as a daily secret place where you hear God before you hear everyone else. When prayer and quiet time get deprioritized, we keep running on old vision, old habits, and old pressure. That’s where ego sneaks in, where we start doing what only God can do, and where anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout start to feel normal. We also explore the idea that God’s way never depletes you, and why dependence is not weakness, it’s the design.

We go further into seasons: what worked yesterday may not work now, and holding on too tightly can make you sick, stressed, and stuck in a slave mentality of nonstop striving. Then we land on a question that stings in a good way: what happens when God gives you what you prayed for and you start complaining about it? If you want more peace, more sustainability, and a clearer sense of purpose, this one will meet you right where you are.

Why Haggai Still Hits

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Today I want to talk to you about consider your ways. So, in reading the book of Haggai, which is probably the shortest book in the Bible, what we're seeing here is after 70 years of slaves being outside of the promised land, being outside of Jerusalem, God is bringing them back into Jerusalem. And one of the things that he says through the prophet Haggai is, Don't you see what is happening to you? You have sown much, but you're harvesting little. So after the slaves were coming into Jerusalem, which was the promised land, which was the place that God had said, Hey, I'm going to bring you back into this place and you're going to be blessed immensely. Their first concern was building houses for themselves. Their first concern was thinking about all of the things that they weren't given when they were slaves and trying to build that up for themselves. And so they were wondering why they weren't harvesting any crops while they were receiving much, but they weren't able to hold on to anything. And then what Haggai was really saying as a prophet, God was really speaking to him and he says, slow down. A lot of times we are busy. We are busy doing a lot of things. We're busy doing a lot of good things, right? We may be doing things that the Lord has asked us to do, but we're not spending time with him. And so I really want to talk to you about this because I don't want this to be in the realm of a condemnation. I don't want to make you feel bad about your ways. I want you to consider your ways. A lot of times we're busy doing a lot of things, but we're not actually spending time with God. We're not really hearing what he wants us to do today. We're thinking about the original, you know, vision that he put in our minds and the vision that he put in our hearts, but we're not spending time with him each day and really asking him, what is it that you would have for me to do today? What is it that you want me to do today versus what I did yesterday? I'm a very big proponent of what worked for you before may not work for you right now. And if you're so busy doing the old things, you're gonna miss the new things that God is trying to bring into your life. And so what is the scripture's really showing us is we need to stop and consider our ways. And the reason why I really knew that this was important because he mentioned it twice in the text. So Haggai one and five says, now this is what the Lord Almighty says. Give careful thought to your ways. He said this, give careful thought to your ways. That means you're slowing down and you're taking an inventory of what is it that I am doing. And when I was reading that, I was really thinking of the intention behind it. We do a lot of things, but what is the intention behind it? When these slaves were coming back into Jerusalem, they wanted to build the houses, they wanted to have the crops, they wanted to have all of the things that they had never had. And I really thought about how many of us are thinking about things that we've been trying to strive to our goals. We're trying to build a home for our families, or we're trying to build our finances, we're trying to do all of these things, but we're not considering our ways, how we are doing it and the intention behind it, right? And because he says it again this is what the Lord Almighty says in verse seven give careful thought to your ways. There's a reason why he said it twice because as he's given instruction, he says it right after that go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house so that I can make pleasure in it and I can be honored in it. So, what he was basically saying, you're building all of these other houses, but yet the temple stays in ruins. One of the last things that the slaves had thought to do was to rebuild the temple that had been taken down. They were so busy building their own homes that they forgot to get themselves in a position to spend time with God so that they can dwell in the temple with him. So a lot of us are reprioritizing, we're not prioritizing the things that God will have for us to do. Do you have a place in your day where you're considering your ways to spend time with him? Modern day, do we have a temple? Do we have a secret place? Do we have a safe place

Sowing Much And Getting Little

SPEAKER_00 3:58

where we're saying we're gonna cancel out everything else that we're doing in the world? And I'm gonna spend time with you, God. I'm going to hear from you. You're so busy building all of these other homes that there's no home for you to spend time with God because you're always distracted, because you're always busy. And we always know the scripture that James is talking about where faith without works is dead. So God is not a proponent of laziness. He wants you to be productive, he wants you to be on the move, he wants you to be living out your your God-given purpose, but not to sacrifice the time that he has to spend with you. So the reason why these people weren't prospering, these slaves weren't prospering when they were coming back with all of the things that God had blessed them with, because they were taking the blessings that God was giving them and using them for their own glory, using them for their own satisfaction, and not really saying, God, you've given me all of these things. What is it that you would have for me to do with them? Because we are blessed to be a blessing. We're not blessed just so we're blessed, so we can go run off and live in Punta Cana somewhere, right? How many of us are doing the work of the Lord? We're doing what our God-given purpose, and we're thinking about all of the ways that we can prosper, that we can enjoy life without thinking of is there a specific reason why you placed this gift inside of me? Who is it that I'm supposed to be helping? This is a very servant mentality. Jesus came to earth to serve, he came to the world to serve, and he could have had anything that he wanted in this world, but the greatest thing that he wanted was to serve others. He humbled himself in the midst of being able to ask his father for anything and said, I want to serve these people so that they can feel the love of Jesus, so that they can feel the love of God, so that they can really, really know how much you love them. So I want to ask you a question today. What is your main concern when God blesses you with something? What is the first thing that you feel the need to do when God is blessing you with something? Do you think about how you can use those blessings for yourself? Do you think about how you can use them for your friends, for your family? Or are you asking God, God, you bless me with this house? What is it that you would have for me to do? God, you bless me with this card. What is it that you would have me to do? God, do you bless me with this spouse? What is it that you would have for me to do? God, you bless me with this child. What is it that you would have for me to do? All good things come from the Lord. He is giving them to us. And we should go towards him and ask him, what is it that you would have for me to do with this gift that I have? You're not here to have a gift and just enjoy it and not share it with the world. He's placed that gift inside of you for a reason. He's allowed you to go through a lot of trials and tribulations to be able to tell your story for a reason so that you can touch and serve other people with the gifts that he's given you. But a lot of times we get distracted with being busy with building and grinding and all of these things and we're forgetting about him.

Busy With Good Things

SPEAKER_00 6:50

So, what the scripture is just reminding us is slow down and spend some time with me. That's all he's asking. He's not saying he wants to take away the blessings that he's given you, but he's saying if you prioritize the world, if you prioritize yourself, which is the ego, if you're so considered with building your own home, building your own finances, and not thinking about spending time with God and asking him, what is it that you would have for me to do with these gifts? You're not going to be able to keep them. And how many times have we been in circumstances where we've gotten a lot of money, but we can't hold on to anything? You get a big lump sum of money and then all of a sudden something in your car breaks. You get a house and then all of a sudden the roof is falling off. You're getting all of these blessings and wondering why you're not holding on to them. And it is because you are not prioritizing the giver of the gift. God is the giver of the gift. And a lot of times when we're suffering, we're praying to God for things. Please, God, bless my marriage. Please, God bless my family. Please, God bless me with the house. Bless me with this. And he wants to. He is our father who wants to give us the good things. And once he gives them to us, the only thing that he asks is, do not forget me in the blessings that I am giving you. Slow down. Remember who gave you the gift and spend some time with me. He wanted the slaves to rebuild the temple just so that they can dwell with him, so that they can have a place. Because back then, when they had the temple, they knew the posture. When they came inside the temple, they would come inside with praise and worship and spend time. And how many times have we said that we needed to start our day? Oh, I need to, you know, read my Bible and I need to pray, but I don't have time. You deprioritize spending time with God and then expect him to bless everything that you're doing in your day. God wants to give you a word for who you're going to speak to in your day. And I really heard someone say this that they don't speak to anyone else until they speak to God. And that really sat with me over the past couple of years because I prioritized spending time with God and hearing from him before I hear from anyone else. And is am I always perfect? Absolutely not, right? Because what did I say earlier? This is not about condemning you for what you're not doing. It's just reminding you that God wants to give you all of the desires of your heart. But are you sharing the desires of your heart with him? Are you spending time and saying, God, this is what I desire, and allowing him to pour into you and say, I want to give you your heart's desires. I put those desires in your heart. I want to fulfill them. And I also want to touch somebody with them. I want to bless somebody with the blessings that I'm giving you. Everything that God puts in our life, it's never just for us. And I remember thinking about that. I'm like, why is it that some people have certain desires and some people don't? God put the desires in our heart for a reason. He has every intention of fulfilling them. When God was taking them out of Babylon and into Jerusalem, it says, just as He had promised. A lot of times we have the desires in our hearts because God has promised us, He's made us believe this is what I have for you, daughter. This is what I have for you, son. But when you get to that place, consider your ways. Like it said, now this is what the Lord Almighty has says. Give careful thought to your ways. Give careful thought to how you are operating within the blessing that I am giving you. Because when you do that, you can ask yourself questions. Like I'm going to ask you right now, what are you busy doing? What are you busy doing? When you're starting your day and you're getting up in the morning and you're doing things for everyone else, what are you so busy doing? And is that coming from you or is that coming from God? Because a lot of times when we step into what God has for us to do, it's not as hard as we make it when we feel like that we are the ones that have to do all the things to make things happen. That's too much pressure to put on yourself to think that you are the one that has to make things happen. A lot of times the reason why you're stressed out

Rebuilding God’s House First

SPEAKER_00 10:40

and you're overwhelmed is you're doing things that only God can do. He wants you to do the works, do what you can and then give the rest to God. But a lot of times we skip that step. So when when he's really telling us in the scripture to consider your ways, give careful thought to your ways, it's like, okay, he may be telling you to do things a different way in order to get the blessing that he has for you, but you're so busy doing it your own way that you're getting burnt out. God's way never depletes us, it never puts us in a position to where we're completely depleted and we have nothing left to give. He wants you to get to the point where you're giving everything that you have to give and you're giving the rest to him and say, God, I've done everything that I know to do with this situation and I'm giving it to you because I believe that you put this desire in my heart and you're going to fulfill it. But this is as much as I can do. But a lot of times when we're pushing ourselves past that, this is when our cortisol levels, our stress hormone is going into overdrive because we're trying to make things happen that only God can make happen. And he wants you to have that level of dependence on him. He wants to say to you, do what you can and then depend on me for the rest. Do what you can. Do not skip that step. Do not simply pray for something and don't do the works. I'm praying to you, God. I'm giving everything that I have to give and then I'm giving it to you. I'm trusting and believing that you have the door that's gonna be open. You have the answer to that thing that's that I'm overthinking about, where I'm having these intrusive thoughts and I'm wondering and I'm doubting and I'm fearing. He says so many times in the scripture, do not fear. Because when you're getting to a point of fearing, you're having doubt that it's gonna happen. And when you're having doubt that it's gonna happen, that's when you know that your faith is being shaken. That's why you need to spend time with him. What happens when you spend that quiet time with God? He restores your faith. All of the doubts and the worries and the fears that you have, lay them at the feet of Jesus. Lay them at his feet and say, God, I'm worried about this. God, I'm worried about this. He knows that you're worried. He doesn't want you to. So bring it to him every single day, every single worry he cares about. And he's saying, Bring it to me, lay it at my feet. And then I want you to walk away in freedom. Do you know how good that it makes God feels when he sees that you're living free, worry free, free of fear, free of doubt, because you're believing in him, you're depending on him. I truly believe that God allows some of the struggles to remain in our life because it keeps us humble and dependent on him. I know that is so true in my own personal life. There's sometimes that I pray to God, God, remove this struggle, remove this from me. It's it's so painful. It's so, but that struggle keeps me humble. And that struggle keeps me really, really close to God because I'm literally always at a point where it's like, I don't have the, I don't have the strength to get through this on my own. I know that if I'm gonna get through this, it's gonna be, you're gonna have to help me. So some of the struggles that you're asking for God to deliver you from keep you dependent on him. Therefore, he won't remove them because he knows, just like the slaves, as soon as I remove them, you're gonna go be doing your own thing. You're gonna go build a mansion, have a party, and never spend time with me. Never consider your ways. Never give careful thought to how you are operating within the blessing that God has given you. It would be so easy for us to take the blessings to just run off with them. But what the scripture is really teaching us is that you can take all of the blessings that God has given you. And it's not going to be sustainable unless you depend on Him, unless you spend time with Him. They were receiving so many blessings in the scripture, but they couldn't keep hold of anything. Have you ever felt like you got so much money pouring in? And it's like you got holes in your pocket. You got holes in your pocket because you're putting it in places that God never intended. He didn't bless you to do some of the things that you're doing with the blessings that he is giving you. So he tells you to slow down and consider your ways so that the blessings that I am giving you, you have the sustainability to actually keep what I'm giving you, for it not to run through you, for you to not be frustrated because you're working, working, working and can't keep hold of anything. You're gonna burn yourself out and you're wondering why you're getting sick, and you're wondering why you're

Blessed To Bless Others

SPEAKER_00 14:45

overwhelmed because you're operating without considering your ways. Give careful thought. Give careful thought because when we're getting blessed, we can always think about how we want to operate within the blessing, what we want to do. We can say, oh, God, you've blessed me with this, and this is what I want to do. This is when we get into the ego. And God does not operate in the ego, his ways are not our ways. And how many of us have bright ideas about what we want to do with the blessings that God has given us? But if you're not actually spending time with him in the temple, to allowing him to dwell within your heart, dwell within your mind, then you're not gonna know how to operate within the blessings. So I want you to slow down. Think about what you can do just today. What are what are some times in my day where I can slow down and spend time with God? And I am a very big proponent of a walk and talk. I will take a walk in a minute. If I feel myself getting overwhelmed, if I feel myself getting stressed out, if I feel myself trying to have this big calendar and I'm trying to map out everything and how do I do this? How do I do this? If I'm come, if I'm getting stuck, then I just slow down, I step away and I go take a walk and I spend time with God and just talk to him. So whatever that looks like for you, it does again, this is not about condemnation, this is not about making you feel bad. But think about those moments where you really spent time with God. What does that look like for you? I want you to customize this for you. When are the times that you are spending time with God and you're hearing from him the most? Because it looks different for everybody. Back then, it was spending time in the temple because they knew that the posture that they got into created space. You make room for the Holy Spirit, right? So when you entered into the temple, your mind shifted into, I'm not doing the things of the world, I'm not doing things for me. I am surrendering. I am coming into the temple with praise and worship and saying, God, what is it that you would have for me to do? For me, that's my morning routine. It is a non-negotiable for me to go outside in nature and spend time and walk with the Holy Spirit and hear from him. God, what is it that you would have for me to do? Holy Spirit, how am I supposed to do this? Because there's a reason why in Haggai 1 and 5 and 1 and 7, it says, give careful thought to your ways. A lot of times God has put in your heart, what is it that you're supposed to do, but you're not considering how you're doing it, giving careful thought to your ways. And just really, you can literally brainstorm with the Holy Spirit. This is what I'm thinking. I'm thinking that I'm gonna touch people this way. I'm thinking that I'm gonna operate in my gift this way. What is it that you would have for me to do? Let me give careful thought to my ways of how I'm thinking that I should operate in it and asking God, is this your way? Is my way your way? And a lot of times it's not. It's not. This message that I'm giving to you right now, this is his way. I was literally sitting here spending time with God, and I was like, oh, I'm gonna record, you know, this, this, this episode. I'm gonna record this message for people later on in the day. And he's literally said, stop, do it now. How many times have you heard from the Holy Spirit, stop, do it now? And you've ignored it. It's so easy because I literally looked at the clock and said, I really don't have time to stop and do it now. But you know what will happen when you say yes and you're obedient to the Holy Spirit, he will make room in your day. All he needs is your initial yes. Yes, I'm gonna do it your way. Not I'm gonna do it why my way, I'm gonna operate in the ego. Because when you're operating within the gifts that God is giving you, there's a certain anointing, there's an oil, there's certain things that you're supposed to say and do, and a posture that you're supposed to have in order for you to touch the people and serve the people that God has had for you to touch and serve. Because each one of us has gifts inside of us that God is gonna use, but it the timing is so important. If I put this off and I do it later in the day, I know my posture. I know my posture, me personally. I am not my best at the end of the day. A lot of times it's the morning, it's when my thoughts are fresh, it's when my mind is fresh, when my mind is clear, when I'm completely surrendering. It's the beginning of the day. I haven't operated and pouring into anybody else. And I'm literally saying, God, pour into me what it is that you have for everyone else. And a lot of times we are not asking God to pour into us for other people. We're asking him to pour into us for us. God, I want to do this. So bless me because I want to go on vacation. Bless me because I want to get deaf free. Bless me because I want to do this for my family. He wants to give you all of those

Burnout And Dependence On God

SPEAKER_00 19:10

things, but he wants you to dwell with him, spend time with him. It was so important that before they built the houses and mansions that God had for them, that you first build the temple. He literally was like, How dare you become so busy that as soon as you come into this town, as soon as you come back to Jerusalem, the temple is in ruins and you're building a mansion right next to it. You want to go in your house and you want to enjoy it and you want to dwell in it and you want to enjoy not being a slave anymore, but you have not considered your ways. Are you spending time with me? How are you knowing what it is that I would have for you to do to keep the blessings that I'm giving you, to sustain them, to let you know that really everything that I have, everything that I'm given is coming from you. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Are you holding on so tight? And this just dropped in my spirit right now. Are you holding on so tight to things? And God is saying, What I had for you before, that was for that season. I have a new thing for you, but you're so busy overworking yourself, being busy trying to hold on to something that was not for the season that I have for you to go into. That was for the past season. So you're really burning yourself out. Your cortisol levels, your stress hormones, you're getting sick, your immune system is going down because you're working so hard to hold on to something that was for the past season. God never operates on one season. He never says, This is what I have for you for the rest of your life. This is why you need to spend time with him. This is why you need to allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within you so that you can ask every single day, God, I did something yesterday and it really worked well. What is it that you would have for me to do today? What am I holding on to that I need to release today? What are my ways? Take careful thought to your ways. What ways were for yesterday, but are not for today and are not for tomorrow? Are you so rigid and stuck in your routines that you're not willing to let go of some of the ways that God is saying, that's not gonna work for you now, and it's not gonna work for where I'm taking you. How they operated as a slave in Babylon was not gonna be the way that they were gonna be able to operate in Jerusalem and keep the blessings that God had for them. They needed to develop new ways. So he's like, I have this new land for you. I have this promise, and I promised you that I would take you into this land, and I am, but I'm gonna need you to shift your mindset. I'm gonna need you to rewire your brain. I'm gonna need you to consider your ways for where I am taking you. That's another reason why he said, I need you to slow down from being so busy because guess what? They were slaves and they had a slave mentality. And a slave mentality is to work and work and work and work and work. And God was in a place where he wanted. To give and give and give and give. They were finally going into the promised land and he wanted to give them so much. But a lot of times you can't go into Jerusalem and to the promised land with a slave mentality because a lot of the things that God has for you, He needs you to be in a posture of receiving. But you're so busy working, thinking, I got to do this to get this. I got to do this. It's like a push and pull, a quid per quote. And God is saying, this is what I promised you. And what God promised you, a lot of times you don't have to burn yourself out in order to receive it. You do not have to burn yourself out to be in a posture of receiving. Do you know what receiving does? It slows down and it thanks God for what he already promised you. It's not begging God, please, God, give me this. Please, God knows what you want. God knows what you need because he put the desires in your heart. He just needs you to receive it, to slow down and to spend time with him and to thank him for everything that he put in your heart. Thank you, God, that you're blessing my family. Thank you, God, that you're blessing my child's future. Because you know what's going to happen when you're living in a slave mentality, you're thinking that it's going to happen in your own ability. So you're projecting that pressure, not just on you, but on your children, on your spouse, on your coworkers. You're like, oh, I got to work so hard for this promotion. This is when you go outside of your morals and values. I got to tear people down in order to get what it is that I want and I desire. No, no, no, no, no. God promised that he was going to give it to you. And you do not have to go against your morals and values in order to do it. God has it. He wants to release it to you, but he wants you to recognize who and where it's coming from. And if you're not spending time thanking God for what it is that he promised you, you're going to start thanking the world. You're going to start thanking your boss. You're going to start thanking your spouse. You're going to start thanking your kids. You're going to start thinking that all of your blessings are coming from them. And he's saying, it's coming from me. So I need you to spend time thanking

New Seasons Need New Ways

SPEAKER_00 23:55

me for what I've already done for you and that I'm ready to release. Because when you get in that posture of dwelling with the Holy Spirit and really thanking God for what it is that He promised you, then He can release it. But a lot of times we're not getting what God promised us because we're begging the world for something that only God can give us. Because if you focus so much on the world and you're spending time working, working, working, you're working 12, 13, 14 hours a day, then when you receive the blessing, you're going to think it came in from you. You're going to think it came from your own strength. You're going to be operating within the ego and saying, oh yeah, I got this promotion because of me. You got that promotion from because of God. You got that promotion because of God, because He promised you that He was going to give it to you. But I need you to sit back and consider your ways and thank the one who is the giver of all good things. You are not the giver of all good things. Your coworkers are not the giver of all good things. You don't have to play up to other people. What is for you is for you. This is why I don't want you stressing out about pleasing other people. The only person, the only thing, spirit, that you need to please is God. That should be your only concern. Consider him, consider your ways, and all else will be given unto you. Do you think about how simple that is? Think about how simple that is. If that was the only thing that you had to consider, is God pleased with me? Is God pleased with my ways? That's all you have to consider. Isn't that so much better? My yoke is easy, my burden is light, because it's only one. There is only one God that you have to please versus this person. There's also many things that you are making your God, your job, your bank account, your friends, your family. You're like, if I can get the approval, if I can get the external validation from all of these people, these things, then I will feel like I'm doing a good job. No, no, no, no, no. Is it better to please all of the people and things of the world and you're not pleasing the giver of all the good things? You're not pleasing God, but you're pleasing everybody else. And that's why you're gonna receive things, but you can't hold on to them. Because people of the world, the world itself is not gonna sustain the gift that God has given you. So this is why God giveth and he taketh away. Giveth and taketh away. Surrender your ways to him so that he can let you know how to sustain the blessings that he has for you. So as we wrap it up here, I want you to really read Haggai. Like I said before, it is literally, if you've been saying all year long, like I'm gonna read the Bible, I'm gonna read all the books of the Bible, start with Haggai. It's literally two books of the Bible. And I want you to really reflect on this, consider your ways, ask yourself, what is your main concern as soon as God blesses you? What is the first thing that you, if you think about that thing right now that you've been praying to God for? God, I really want you to bless me with a spouse. God, I really want you to bless me with a child. God, I really want you to bless me to be debt-free and for me to be financially abundant. What is the first thing that you are going to do when you receive that blessing? Are you going to complain? Because that just dropped in my spirit. When God blesses you with something that you've been praying for, so often you start to get too familiar with that which he has blessed you with, and you start to complain. How many of you are complaining about your spouse, complaining about your kids, complaining about your job when it's the very thing that he blessed you with? Because you so when he says consider your ways, that's another thing. Consider how you're operating within the blessing that you asked him for. Take careful thought to your ways. Be very careful about how you're treating the things that God has blessed you with. Why? Because the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. So that very thing that you may be complaining about, he's like, I thought you wanted it. I'm gonna go ahead

Stop Complaining About Your Blessings

and take it away because you're not operating within the blessing as if it is a blessing. Consider what you ask God for and then consider your ways. Consider how you're treating your spouse, how you're treating your partner, how you're treating your children when you get stressed out, not just when everything's going great. When everything's going great, it's so easy to treat God's blessings as a blessing. How are you treating God's blessings when you're stressed out and you're overwhelmed? This is why he said, spend time with me. Slow down. Because when you do not slow down, you're gonna be so busy that you're mistreating, that you're neglecting, that you're abandoning, that you're misusing, abusing the blessings that God has given you. Slow down so that you could spend time with him, so that he can regulate your nervous system. This is psychology based. This is cognizant based. This is rewiring your brain so that I can remind you. This happens so often with me. He reminds me that thing that you're complaining about, you asked me for that. I blessed you with that. Be very careful. Take careful thought to your ways because you asked me for that. I blessed you with that. I gave you that partner, I gave you that spouse. Be careful, take careful thought to how you're treating them because you asked me for that person, you asked me for that child when they start getting on your nose. You prayed to me for that, and I gave it to you. So take careful thought to your ways. You asked me for that job. Because some of you asked for financial abundance, and the way to that financial abundance is a job that you're consistently complaining about. Take careful thought to what it is that you're complaining about because you asked me for it, and I need you to, I need you to consider your ways. I need you to start operating as if you prayed for it because sometimes you forget. So, this is what I do with my private clients. We rewire your brain so that you remember the beginning. It's so easy to forget the beginning when you're in the messy middle. When you're in the messy middle and they're pissing you off and they're stressing you out, it's easy to complain. So, we need to rewire your brain. I need you to remember. I need you to take careful thought to your ways. How are you treating and operating with the blessings that God has given you? Really take some time and think about that today. Again, not condemning you, but just reminding you. God has blessed you with a lot of things. Consider your ways. And until next time, we got this.
